Channel 4’s Chateau DIY returns with another dose of French renovation dreams and realities. This Thursday, the Brits abroad tackle everything from wine storage solutions to damp dilemmas, all while tackling the quirks of French building regulations and the occasional language barrier. Narrated by Adjoa Andoh, the episode takes a peek into the lives of several chateau owners as they wrestle with their ambitious projects.
At Château du Puits Es Pratx, Tim and Sasha’s wine-related woes continue. Their attempt to transform a wine barrel into a chic wine store hits a snag, proving that even the simplest DIY projects can become major headaches. Meanwhile, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, the Hutson family faces a race against time. With a diamond wedding anniversary celebration looming, they must finish renovating their L-shaped hallway, a project that’s testing both their DIY skills and their patience.
Over in the Charente-Maritime, Bart and Sarah are up against a more formidable foe: damp. Their solution? Moving hundreds of tonnes of concrete, a task that seems almost as daunting as buying a chateau in the first place. Tune in to Channel 4 this Thursday, April 3, at 5:00 PM to see how these brave Brits face their French challenges.
