Only 102 rooms to go! It's not the size of the room that matters!

Fascinating to watch - more treasures discovered as the work goes on.

This is wonderful to see and experience. I admire your architect as he tries to keep the sanitation system as streight as possible.

I can't imagine having 102 rooms to renovate. I need to wallpaper 2 bathrooms and I'm tired already. Lol..lol..God Bless, Kathy

Totally agree that even rooms that serve a functional operation should be finished well. The archives are just an incredible treasure and loved (although sad) learning a bit of the story behind the son of the Marquis. Merci et a bientot!

That is an interesting project. Your right - do even the smallest parts right and do it nice. Even if it is a utility room or a closet. When I look at such project I think of electricity and plumbing and how to not damage walls, ceilings and floors. Since you can't do everything at once I was wondering if new electric wires, water lines and waste lines are going to be done in stages. I would imagine you will work top to bottom but still have some ground floor rooms finished first. Nothing is worse than dragging construction waste through finished area and damaging finished work.

With more documents in the archives still to be reviewed, it seems apparent that more secrets will be revealed. Looking forward to future discoveries about Chateau de Purnon and the people who lived there.

Oh my the story of the son was so sad. I absolutely love the wallpaper in that room. ❤️ Your so lucky to have found the layout and plans of the Château. What a treasure box of documents 😱

Yeah, the little subconscious details do matter. That one room could cloud the overall impression of the home so giving it a "quick" cleanup and refinish did make a big difference. Can't wait to see it down even just a few numbers. Every room done is a full step forward, even when it doesn't seem like it.

Happy New Year from the utterly destroyed town which in New Year 2022 was Lismore. So keen to see Purnon emerge from its own ruins like a phoenix from the ashes. 🇦🇺

Personally, I would have found a way to save the old wallpaper. It is beautiful.

Congratulations on the new room and congratulations on having the roofers there to work! I know that when the roof is finished you will have peace of mind. I am always so happy to get to see Chateau coming together! Best of luck in the New Year, from Nashville, Tennessee, happy new year!

I'm excited to see what you do with all the other rooms and restoring them back to their great luster of the past

I really love the old plans which is like winning a lottery to find them. So very intriguing as it makes you envision the original owners making decisions on how the chateau should look. It's so great that the rooms were set up with side rooms which you can now utilize for modern needs. It must feel great to see each space brighten and come to life as you work in them. You were brave to get in the little room with spiders and all the grime. I would want it to be a fresh space as well, so I get the reasoning to get it done.

Well done - one more step forward

You're so right doing this little room before the heating system is brought in, cos you'll never get room to do it ever again! Well thought through...

Love that you’re not afraid of spiders, I move them outside too, everyone else here it’s end of life for them. Congratulations on the invaluable historical plans, extraordinary! And the HWS room completion. 🇦🇺

I love your quote "you may not notice the world that has been done but you'd certainly notice the work that hasn't been done". It's not all making pretty, but making it last. Well done

Felicity Dear, Your dedication to this little utility closet is the herald of what will become of Château de Purnon - a thoughtful restoration with impeccable reverence for the past and the future. When your hands get cold applaud yourself, it brings the warmth of your heart to the work of your fingers. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻♥️♥️♥️😊😊😊 Warmly, RB Boston, USofA
