€18,000 for PLYWOOD?! Somehow It Is Cheaper to Use Solid Oak... 😳

Renovating a château is full of surprises… but €18,000 for oak-faced plywood was not one we were expecting! 😳 As we work out how to install our antique oak panelling, we discover that somehow it may actually be cheaper to use solid oak instead. Meanwhile, autumn has well and truly arrived at Lalande, the bathroom renovation takes an exciting step forward, our underfloor heating comes to life, and Marie turns the château’s garden harvest into the perfect cosy dinner. 🍂🏰 If you're interested in becoming a Patron of The Chateau Diaries, click here: https://www.patreon.com/thechateaudiaries The Chateau Diaries Episode 1179 ✨🏰✨ Escape to the chateau with ’The Chateau Diaries’ 🏰 This channel follows the adventures of chatelaine Stephanie in her French 16th century home, the Chateau de Lalande, in the heart of rural France ❤️ We share our life in this ancient chateau in the heart of the French countryside, and show you the diy, renovations, crafts, cooking and gardening that are needed to bring a home like this to life.
