We woke up three days ago to the ground floor salon and billiard room swarming with bees!! They have built hives in three of the ground floor fireplace chimneys. We opened the plates and tried peppermint oil but it did not deter them. We had to seal them up as there were literally 100 bees flying around! We rang local bee catchers who told us to light a fire & smoke them out. We decided it’s too dangerous as the hives could catch fire and they are not fire compliant at this time (also Bees are so important to nature we didn’t want to kill them) Not one sting!!! French bees are friendly. So if anyone has any tips please share!!! I like bees in my garden not in our chateau!#chateau #chateaudelabrosse #chateaulife #renovation #chateaudiy

Our smallest room was completed today. Tv still has to be mounted and mini fridge is ordered. I feel it’s a calm and pretty room. Queen size bed, coffee pod machine, kettle, mini bar and of course plush robes. Let me know thoughts or suggestions!!#chateau #chateaudelabrosse #chateaulife #lureuil #renovation

I wish I had cleaned it before the electrician installed it! Lesson learnt. This bedroom had no ceiling light at all. Tough job for the tradies running wire through the stone walls but looks magnific!!#chateau #chateaudelabrosse #chateaulife #renovation #

We are very grateful to a kind neighbour who bought her tractor over to help. She made very light work of moving the trough. Missed the actual pick up but her tractor skills were impressive! Thank you 🚜🙌#chateau #chateaudelabrosse #chateaulife #lureuil

Progress report…
It hasn’t stopped raining since I cleaned the deck. After photos will come once it dries and I can see the result.

Trialling a product that should kill the moss and algae on our terrace pavers.

Today we finally decided to tackle moving our 100 year old Russian billiard table which the previous left us. We had been putting off moving it due to its weight and the stairs being steep, tight and a 90 degree turn. We moved from one building (now our toy room, Lego room and craft room) into the main chateau. Also had to navigate stone stairs that were covered in slippery moss. Lucky we were wearing our Australian safety boots…Uggies!! We were able to undo some screws and move in two parts which lessened#chateau #chateaulife #chateaudelabrosse #renovation #lureuil the weight a fraction. Was a massive effort but now guests can enjoy playing on a 100 year old table in a 200 year old castle (300 years old if you count the stables, barn & coach house)

We visited our favourite antique store in Le Blanc and finally made a purchase… three chandeliers! As you can see the previous hot air balloon had to go!!#chateau #chateaulife #chateaudelabrosse #renovation #lureuil

We have three kitchens in total! Two in the chateau and one in the barn (soon to be a holiday Gete). This particular kitchen is being renovated into a breakfast area by day (for B&B guests) and bar by night (for event guests).

This ensuite is located in one of the two turrets. The walls are all curved making it difficult but a great challenge. Not doing the shower at this time as our tile choices are limited due to curve.#chateau #chateaulife #chateaudelabrosse #renovation #lureuil

Whilst I would not recommend Grace removals at all, the crew who spent days packing up in Australia were wonderful. Big thanks to Wolf and Jacob, management do not deserve you. You guys make packing a container a true art form. #chateau #chateaulife #chateaudelabrosse #renovation #chateaudiy

Just the finishing details to go. Adding crown moulding to the bottom and top to add a little bit of fancy to the IKEA Pax. Will have to wait for another day as it’s time to keep renovating and unpacking.#chateau #chateaudelabrosse #chateaulife #renovation #ikea

It became very clear that the wardrobe spaces in our bedrooms were what the French call “petite”.
Lucky Mark has had lots of previous experience with an Alan Key.#chateau #chateaulife #chateaudelabrosse #lureuil #renovation

Sadly no cash refund in France. You also cannot put glass in your recycling bin, you have to drop off at a collection point so everyone can see how many bottles you have 🤦‍♀️#chateaulife #chateaudelabrosse #chateau #renovation

While Mark was busy digging, I tried my hand at unblocking a shower drain. Hoping for a clump of hair I discovered so many parts inside I had never seen before. Like a true Chatelaine I got it sorted and got it all back together with no parts left over 🙌 #chateau #lureuil #chateaulife #chateaudelabrosse #renovation

Funny how they have been delivering gas here for years and now they are suddenly non complaint. A bit of digging, removing metal plates and voila! #chateaudelabrosse #chateaulife #renovation #lureuil
