The crumbling ceilings, time-worn turrets, and overgrown gardens of French chateaux may sound romantic, but for the British families featured in Channel 4’s “Chateau DIY,” the reality involves a lot of hard graft. This Wednesday, the renovations continue, with a mix of guest suite stress, bathroom blues, and impending wedding day chaos.
At Château de Lalacelle, Terry and Ashley are racing against the clock to finish their first guest suite. With their inaugural visitor on the horizon, the pressure is on. Will they manage to create a welcoming space, or will their grand plans crumble under the weight of deadlines?
Meanwhile, new chateau owners Tim and Sharon are tackling a tower bathroom suite renovation. As anyone who’s ever attempted even a minor bathroom remodel knows, plumbing and tiling can be a nightmare. For Tim and Sharon, working within the confines of a historic tower adds another level of difficulty.
Over at Château de la Boutinère, Alison and Zion face an even bigger challenge: their first wedding booking. With collapsing stairs and graffiti adorning the walls, there’s a mountain of work to be done before they can say “I do.” It’s all hands to the pump as they scramble to create a magical setting for the happy couple.
Narrated by the soothing voice of Adjoa Andoh. Tune in to Channel 4 this Wednesday, April 2nd, at 5:00 PM to witness the triumphs and tribulations of these intrepid renovators.
