How Two Friends Turned Abandoned CASTLE into a 4☆HOTEL | by @chateaudut...


Join us on an extraordinary journey as two lifelong friends, Francis and Benoit, turn a crumbling, centuries-old castle into a stunning 4-star hotel. With no construction experience, a modest budget, and a dream, they face five years of grueling work, harsh weather, and even a global pandemic. Visit the hotel website here: http://link.qformedia.com/chateaudutheil Nestled in the rolling hills of Corrèze, France, Teide Castle is steeped in history serving as a hospital in World War I and a college during World War II. After being abandoned for over 30 years, the castle was in ruins. Despite its dilapidated state, Francis and Benoit saw an opportunity of a lifetime. Purchasing the castle for just $170,000, they dove headfirst into a monumental renovation, taking on personal debts and later opening the project to public investment. This video captures their incredible highs and daunting lows, from demolition challenges and intricate roof repairs to the heart-stopping moment when a collapsing chapel almost derailed everything. Watch as local artisans, global investors, and sheer determination come together to breathe new life into this historic treasure. Will they achieve the impossible? Let’s dive in and find out!

The AlternatorGenerator, 48V Battery Charging

I bought a 12V car alternator off of craigslist for $100.  I wasn't looking for any specific model, but I wanted a serpentine pulley on the alternator, and it had to look decent.  Next was a Predator gas engine from Harbor Freight.  In this case, I purchased the 224cc MAX engine, which is 6.6hp.  The 212cc 6.5hp engine would have also worked well for this build.  

The goal is to make a dedicated generator that can recharge my 48V battery bank.  I'm using the EG4 LiFePO4 batteries, which is a little more than 30kWh.  Sometimes, during the winter, the solar production doesn't keep up with my loads.  That's when I need to supplement my solar with some generator run-time in order to recharge my battery bank.  Yes, 48V generators exist on the market, but they are thousands of dollars.  I built this generator for about $400.

Building Code Official Discovers a Gator in Home

Did the house pass inspection? 

Here is an oddity i've never experienced on a jobsite before! 

County Code Compliance Official Discovers Alligator In North Carolina Attic – [your]NEWS
In an article for UPI.com, Ben Hooper reports that, “A county code compliance official in North Carolina made a surprising discovery in the attic of a home under construction — an 8-foot alligator. The New Hanover County Government said Dean Brown, a county code compliance official, was inspecting a new home under construction in the Carolina Beach Road area when he encountered the large reptile in the attic. ‘The workers having lunch sitting the next room — I asked them to leave,’ Brown told WWAY-TV. ‘They kind of laughed at me when I told them why, and I said, ‘Well, you might want to look, because there’s an alligator in the attic.” The county government shared a photo of Brown’s discovery on Facebook. Brown said the attic gator was a first for him. ‘You’ll see nothing major, I have seen squirrels, of course, small rodents. Squirrels, probably the biggest ones I’ve seen in the attic. I have seen a gator that was in the yard, kind of sunbathing, back in the ’90s. You know, I really didn’t think much of that. I have run into several snakes,’ he told WECT-TV. The alligator was relocated by animal control officers.”
