Chateau Poseidon: Fountain of Possibilities

Latest updates from those French Canadian guys.

Episode 15: Second Floor Possibilities

Episode 16: A Fountain for Poseidon

Note to readers:  I admire the energy and know-how these fellas have; but the work is proceeding very slowly, and in future I may not post all their vids.  The last one above was interesting with the fountain, furnace, and apples.  The one prior to that was dreadfully dull:  scraping and painting all those window frames.  

Problem is, they still haven't made the caretaker cottage livable, and winter will soon set in.  The amount of work needed on the big house is mind-boggling, and so is the expense.  No doubt somewhere in one or both families is an indulgent Big Mama or Big Daddy with very deep pockets.  It must be nice not to worry about how to pay the rent or keep food on the table while picking out designer decor and furniture.

Frankly, I think with this beat-up chateau way to hell out in bumfuck, they have bitten off much more than they can chew or ever make a profit on, but what do I know?  I wish them good luck with this monster reno.  It will certainly be a great learning experience.

The boys from French Canada are beavering away on renovating their newly-purchased Château Poséidon in the Loire Valley of France - and so quickly that I've already fallen behind on posting their videos.  Here are episodes 3 and 4 for your enjoyment.

Chateau for Two

Tom and Damien are a charming Canadian couple who bought a derelict chateau in France, where they have a monumental repair and renovation job ahead of them:

In their second video, they give a mini-tour of the chateau:

(Mais je ne comprends pas pourquoi les gars ne parlent pas le francais dans leur videos. Pour le convenence de leurs telespectateurs anglophones, je me suppose.)

For a full tour of Chateau Poseidon from top to bottom, and a bit of the grounds, see the video they made for So Chateau here.
