@KiKiGee recently posted Snort's comments in CD 12/6/22 live chat regarding question of Amaury's progress on the Grand Salon.
Jenny Willow @the Chateau Diaries Has Amaury escaped from the Marquis salon yet to start the grand salon?
Philip Janssen @Jenny Willow Amaury is going to finish the Marquis salon completely before starting on the grand salon! He’s working on a hidden door at the moment
Jenny Willow @Philip Janssen ooh a hidden door. How exciting.
Just WTF has Amaury Richmond, master carpenter with a workshop the size of a small grocery store been doing during the past 6 months? And, let's not forget, he was preparing for months in advance since his arrival in August 2021 for the Grand Salon until SJ dragged him away to unexpectedly start the Marquis apartment for C4 CDIY footage.
The Marquis apartment is one room with only one third of every wall having new sapele wood panelling fitted, isn't it?
Is he really a master carpenter, or yet again, is it all just smoke and mirrors?
If I were employing a carpenter I would have expected the apartment to be finished by now - most of the decorating had already been completed.
Yes, I know that the big reveal will be via CDIY in the Autumn BUT, for the love of God, the carpentry must be done by now.
I also know that he fills and drives the bowser round to the godforsaken new garden twice a day which, imho, really only needs doing once a day, e.g. early morning. But, can't someone else do that, perhaps Dan as would make more sense?
