Me too, we had to do this in our cottage in Brittany with a beam but we nicked the edges so it wasn't so sharp on the edges and it looked great. I'm pleased Michael got his way. Hats off to all the Pethericks!
When I reflect on how far you've come in such a short time really. It makes me a bit misty. Coming from a life that seemed unfulfilling and going who knows where to being able to find your passion and exhibit talents that you may not have even known existed before. It's a joy watching you blossom! I'm so very happy for you and your amazing family! I'm quite literally on the edge of my seat in anticipation of your next chapter. 😘😘😘🥰
Great to see a family enjoying what they are doing and being along during the process. Michaels talents and determination to get it right seeing him enjoying himself in his work and family plus he is very entertaining.
This was a near perfect episode Michael! The recap at the beginning and the trailer for what's coming up next were perfect bookends. And I cannot express enough how impressive the skills and self-sufficiency in your family are. In an age where people spend mindlessly, it is wonderful to see slow building, slow purchasing and respect for craftmanship.
Mr.P senior,always so good hearted,calm and kindly...such a gifted family..Billy ,the same character shows through.Chapeau Pethericks! What a cliff hanger.....😨😱.
I am absolutely addicted to this show. It just popped into my feed and I’m so glad it did. Such a lovely family and beautiful expression of humanity. Michael is a multidimensional being.
The other day I met a woman while walking the dog. She told me she lived in Sawrey as a small child in one of Beatrix Potter’s cottages in the early 1940s A totally idyllic childhood running around the fields. She said Miss Potter was still alive then and remembers her.
Your channel has inspired me to do lots of DIY on my Mediterranean villa during lockdown here in Spain. I'm 63 nearly 64 but single handed I have painted sanded and done lots of improvemens. I have recycled wood from an old garden shed and my outside covered porch has never looked better. Thankyou for keeping me motivated and sane during these crazy times 👍
I'm stressed and impressed. How do they get the nerve to do that? Where are those hardhat workmen and builders? I'd just call them up and get an estimate and a date and they'd do it all with me watching!
Your Dad reminds me so much of my Dad who passed away 8 years ago now. He was 82. He worked for the same plumbing firm for nearly 53 years, his only job from when he was 13 till his retirement. He always wanted me to be a plumber ! Not a profession for a lady, my Mum used to say. I can solder, fix a tap, fix irrigation and a host of other things thanks to my wonderful Dad. Your Dad is now continuing teaching me the building trade. Thank you so much Mr Petherick. I hope you enjoy a beer or two after a hard days work. Bless you from North Queensland Australia. xxx
It's my sincere hope that there is another realm in which our ancestors see the loving care people like you apply to attend these historic works. We may not get to live forever, but at least for some things there is continuity and therefore *remembrance.*
@@katehobbs2008 you're delusional if you think any of them were 'nice'. you obviously don't understand the mindset of pre world war 1 aristocracy. they literally treated lower classes like animals hence the gardener's cottage being a glorified barn.
I'm sure there were some nice ones but a lot is coming out now about how the service class were overworked, grossly underpaid and taken advantage of. All the more reason to do up these barns in style and with all the modern conveniences!
Already looking forward to the next episode. I have watched every advert in this video to support this beautiful UA-cam channel. Love you Michael. Chris the Englishman.
Yes -- remind people to watch all the advertisements! I was surprised that one of the advertisements was for a country stay place! What? Competition with your chateau is advertising on your vlog? But it was in Ontario, not France. So many people aren't travelling to Europe at the moment so, after all, no real competition.
Michael I felt I had to comment. Brilliant vlog, and music, the simplicity of it is brilliant. I do believe that channel 4 have missed a trick. Yes Escape to the Chateau is good, but you are now making great vlogs I hope they are kicking themselves. You have taken to it like a duck to water. I wish I was there to help nothing beats hard work. Big hugs ❤️❤️
is that a hint for gardening work on that gorgeous greenhouse Dan? I'd love to see that, what a good collaboration that would be for both your channels!
Me too, I need 3 need beams up to replace an oak A frame to give me height for a mezzanine floor in the old school house I am renovating and my builder has says he is scared of heights, may have to find another one now, if anyone free in France ha ha .
A family full of construction workers and not afraid to work and get the job done. How wonderful and refreshing to see. Such a novel idea also. I am loving watching these videos, and you are all doing such a great job of it as well. Can't wait to see the final result and all the original features included. Have a wonderful day
That music while picking up the big beam is just pure genius. Gives me all warm fuzzy feelings that all will be well in the world 🥰. The composer is the same one as for the title music, love it!
Brilliant filming -- why does my heart leap when all I see is an oak beam on the back of a truck driving to the cottage? Michael's pleasure in that beam is palpable!
You can see in Mr. P. Sr. how he looks at situations carefully considering the physics, mechanical and safety aspects of what’s to be done and that experience and knowledge is so valuable. Cheers from Southern California!
OMG what a lot of hard work for you, your dad and Sean (of course Billy too) I wonder 🤔 how you all do this incredible and amazing jobs👍.. Really couldn't wait to see your Beatrix cottage back to her full majestic glory.. Love it, love it, love it 💜💜💜Will be waiting tonight for your premier.. Yaaaayyy 😊Thank you so much Michael💋
I'm happy to see your going with oak beams and staying true to the original personality and plans of the cottage! It'll be more work, but worth it in the end!
Patrick, your Dad is one hard working and smart man! Lucky you! When I sat here watching you taking out the old beams, I just kept praying no one would get hurt! Then putting in the new beam - Wow! Can’t wait to see the next step. Stay safe!
Mr P Snr. is so knowledgeable and hardworking. He reminds me of my late father who was a skilled cabinet maker working with the beautiful hard wood mahogany. Enjoy your Dad, Michael!! When I see your team at work, it reminds me of some fellow Americans who buy property in Italy. When they pass on a property, they often say " that one is for the British: they like projects." You should all be proud of your skills in renovating these centuries old buildings. Please keep the videos coming.
Brings back memories for me when we put our 12" x 24" x 30' beam in over an existing kitchen. Just to add a bit more fun to the equation, I was 8 months pregnant with my son. This video brought a bit of a year to my eye. So happy for you Michael ❤️
So glad you got exactly what you wanted, timber all the way! Also honouring the original builders of the cottage and the efforts of their labour. :D Can't wait for next episode, the EXCITEMENT!
So glad you followed your heart and used the oak beam. For our first house 30 years ago we bought an 120 year old farm house. We were so happy with it because no one had ever done anything to it. ( No remuddling as my husband used to say.) Cabinets and flooring and trim were all original. We stripped off layers of paint and refinished beautiful oak. We lovingly took the time to repair all the horse hair plaster walls, took out the giant octopus coal furnace, added natural gas furnace, reroofed the house and added tons of insulation, tore off a porch and rebuilt it just as it was, rewired the house, repaired old windows to keep the wavy and stained glass. We sold the house 14 years later but when I see the house today I am so happy we helped to take a run down house in much need of repair and turned itto a beautiful home ready for the next generation. I loved that house. Will always be happy with our choice to keep the house as it was. Wish I could be a patron and hope the small amount I donated will help. Hate that they take part of your funds but hopefully it will help to reach your goal.
The window glass wedged between the floorboards and the wall ! Fascinating how evidence of France's long and rich history has left its mark on the country. From le Polissoir de Saint Guillaume of the Stone Age, south of Château Basmaignée, to the unintentional WWII bomb crater west of the Château !
Oh my gosh....you have left us in suspense!!! Will the beam make it in, will the wall collapse, most of all will it fit!!!The cottage is going to be grand when it is finished. Christmas dinner for everyone that helped you see your dream come true. Love your music choices.
Wow! How exciting is this! Loving it Michael..great storytelling and can't wait till next week...Love your recap..its easy to forget how much work has gone to getting it to this stage..PS Hope you kept a bit of the glass - piece of history...
Oh, this is so exciting! You'll be glad you held out for the oak beam. Don't worry about the Christmas "deadline". You'll have many Christmases there in the years ahead.
Well done Michael and all your family and friends that helped out doing all that . That was such a big job and it,s all really coming together now . It was your best video yet.
Your dad is brilliant! Knows so much about everything you need to do! And his friend is also helpful! Your in great hands ! Can’t wait to see floor down should be the envy of chateau when finished! 😜😎
Michael, the editing on this particular video was so creative and fun to watch! This kind of editing will grow your vlog and I just wanted you to know I love your projects and have watched and subscribed from your beginning! Thanks for what you do!
Cherish your Dad Michael, I miss mine so much. He would have been 100 years old today(25thOct) but he died 30 years ago. He used to do lots of woodwork for me when I had my first house in the 70s.
Way to go!!!!!! you all are so wonderful !!!!!!. i have been watching you all from the start you have my heart!!!! you have such a wonderful father!!!!! enjoy him!!!!! i look forward to the next show!! xo. xo. xo. to you alll !!!!!
Oh my goodness, now you’re even using teases for the next video! “Be patient,” I tell myself. The next never seems to come soon enough. I’m so happy for you!
Nice to see, so good, you all work together, you did not lie when you told us that you all have different skills, and always get the job done between your.😊
I hope you know that UA-cam now thinks that I speak French because I'm sitting through the ads. :) I do look forward to the next video, great to see you already got the beam in.
Mr. Petherick senior is such a wonderful dad and restorer.
for real , how many people his age could or even would take on the massive jobs of two places at once one would be too much for most
He is awesome, works so hard.
I couldn't possibly agree more.
Such a wonderfully cheerful hard worker.
So glad you went for an oak beam, the cottage deserves no less. Really enjoying the renovation of this lovely cottage.
Me too, we had to do this in our cottage in Brittany with a beam but we nicked the edges so it wasn't so sharp on the edges and it looked great. I'm pleased Michael got his way. Hats off to all the Pethericks!

A lot of work for a beautiful chateau
Mr.P senior,always so good hearted,calm and kindly...such a gifted family..Billy ,the same character shows through.Chapeau Pethericks!
What a cliff hanger.....😨😱.
The world, as seen through Michael’s eyes, is pretty magical.
That was so interesting! Well done to Billy with the cherry-picker.
Billy is like the Cavalry,everytime.
your dad is a you tube star!!
WOW! I love the recap!! I kind of forgot just how far the cottage has come already. It's so lovely to see!
👍
Yes, I enjoyed that as well because you overlook the progress otherwise and I tend to focus on how much is left to do.
I am absolutely addicted to this show. It just popped into my feed and I’m so glad it did. Such a lovely family and beautiful expression of humanity. Michael is a multidimensional being.
The other day I met a woman while walking the dog. She told me she lived in Sawrey as a small child in one of Beatrix Potter’s cottages in the early 1940s A totally idyllic childhood running around the fields. She said Miss Potter was still alive then and remembers her.
I'd really like to hear more. Is there someway you could interview her. Simple people can be so interesting?
Amazing 😍
Cate7451 What an awesome idea to interview that lady, the dog walker!
Oh how interesting
Michael, Mick and Sean should all carve their initials and date in the underside of that beautiful beam for posterity.
Good idea!
Great idea
that's a great idea!
Great idea, but I think it needs to be the topside. The bottom side would be visible from downstairs. The topside will be covered by the floorboards.
Of course not where it's obvious
Your channel has inspired me to do lots of DIY on my Mediterranean villa during lockdown here in Spain. I'm 63 nearly 64 but single handed I have painted sanded and done lots of improvemens. I have recycled wood from an old garden shed and my outside covered porch has never looked better. Thankyou for keeping me motivated and sane during these crazy times 👍
OMGGG that ending I am STRESSED!!!!!!!!!
same lol, the drama!!!
I'm stressed and impressed. How do they get the nerve to do that? Where are those hardhat workmen and builders? I'd just call them up and get an estimate and a date and they'd do it all with me watching!

Loved hearing all the glass fall from behind the old beam!
It's my sincere hope that there is another realm in which our ancestors see the loving care people like you apply to attend these historic works. We may not get to live forever, but at least for some things there is continuity and therefore *remembrance.*
That's very true 👍
Its an outbuilding, they honestly wouldn't care. I see your point but the way historic rich people thought wasn't nostalgic and warm hearted.
@@caligulalonghbottom2629 I suspect there were just as many nasty and nice ones as there are now.
@@katehobbs2008 you're delusional if you think any of them were 'nice'. you obviously don't understand the mindset of pre world war 1 aristocracy. they literally treated lower classes like animals hence the gardener's cottage being a glorified barn.

Pops Petherick is THE best. Skilled, caring, funny, AND a good dancer as I recall.
The editing of the ending of this was quite literally outstanding. I forget I’m watching a UA-cam video half the time.
When it said 9 weeks til christmas i thought i was watching an old video, then i realised it is actually 9 weeks till christmas. Ommm
I haven't started Christmas shopping =/
I cannot be alone in thinking, it feels like an eternity between videos.. lol. You are immeasurably enjoyed, dear Michael.
The smile on your face when you got your oak beam. Something not to miss. Xx
Already looking forward to the next episode. I have watched every advert in this video to support this beautiful UA-cam channel. Love you Michael.
Chris the Englishman.
Thank you so much Chris. You are a star. 🌟
Yes -- remind people to watch all the advertisements! I was surprised that one of the advertisements was for a country stay place! What? Competition with your chateau is advertising on your vlog? But it was in Ontario, not France. So many people aren't travelling to Europe at the moment so, after all, no real competition.
Set backs, new plans, moving forward. You've done it and in the end you'll have a sturdy cottage.
Michael I felt I had to comment. Brilliant vlog, and music, the simplicity of it is brilliant. I do believe that channel 4 have missed a trick. Yes Escape to the Chateau is good, but you are now making great vlogs I hope they are kicking themselves. You have taken to it like a duck to water. I wish I was there to help nothing beats hard work.
Big hugs ❤️❤️
Wow! Dramatic ending!!! woo hoo, new oak beam through the building. crazy and great!!!!
When your finished,you know where I am ...😉
Lol, they could help you Dan couldn’t they.
is that a hint for gardening work on that gorgeous greenhouse Dan? I'd love to see that, what a good collaboration that would be for both your channels!
Me too, I need 3 need beams up to replace an oak A frame to give me height for a mezzanine floor in the old school house I am renovating and my builder has says he is scared of heights, may have to find another one now, if anyone free in France ha ha .
If the Pethericks take a quick holiday with the cherry picker to you Dan they could fix your roof.
😍 I love seeing the whole family working together to accomplish this job at the cottage
wow, that bit about the broken glass was amazing, still some secrets to be found I'll bet.
You Dad is a super man He knows so much about construction. You would never have done it without him.
Yes. Over 50 years experience 😍😍
Loved the recap in the intro!
These videos are documentary/series quality.
Agree completely.
So exciting to see such progress! The cottage will live on for another 100 years!
A family full of construction workers and not afraid to work and get the job done. How wonderful and refreshing to see. Such a novel idea also. I am loving watching these videos, and you are all doing such a great job of it as well. Can't wait to see the final result and all the original features included. Have a wonderful day

"That's alright, innit, Dad?!" - Love this family. Great episode, thanks for sharing.
I'm 68 and a little doddery on my pins ,but I so want a go in the cherry picker .Good work Michael and family .
Sir, Petherick senior, is an amazing man his knowledge strength will power is beyond modern words.
Love how sweet, positive, and supportive this whole crew is!
Mr. P. Sr. And the cherry-picker are worth their weight in gold.
You can see in Mr. P. Sr. how he looks at situations carefully considering the physics, mechanical and safety aspects of what’s to be done and that experience and knowledge is so valuable. Cheers from Southern California!
Love your family enthusiasme. That's what family are for, through thicks & thins, working together
OMG what a lot of hard work for you, your dad and Sean (of course Billy too) I wonder 🤔 how you all do this incredible and amazing jobs👍.. Really couldn't wait to see your Beatrix cottage back to her full majestic glory.. Love it, love it, love it 💜💜💜Will be waiting tonight for your premier.. Yaaaayyy 😊Thank you so much Michael💋
Well it wasn’t ever majestic, but it will be cosy and quaint and warm and I hope lovely.

This is so thoroughly enjoyable to watch. The teamwork and spirit behind the project are inspiring.
Wow, wow, wow the preview for next!
So glad you got exactly what you wanted, timber all the way! Also honouring the original builders of the cottage and the efforts of their labour. :D Can't wait for next episode, the EXCITEMENT!
I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying watching the restoration of this cottage. I can't wait for the next episode each time!
Finally things are moving along well done Michael. Your hands on dad is my new hero. Last few seconds of blog is very dramatic 😂
So glad you followed your heart and used the oak beam. For our first house 30 years ago we bought an 120 year old farm house. We were

The window glass wedged between the floorboards and the wall ! Fascinating how evidence of France's long and rich history has left its mark on the country. From le Polissoir de Saint Guillaume of the Stone Age, south of Château Basmaignée, to the unintentional WWII bomb crater west of the Château !
Mr Petherick is amazing, this restoration is brick by brick and with love. I anticipate a beautiful outcome!
Wow, only seven months ago, and look how far they have come!
Deciding on a wood beam is Awesome so Authentic
I love that you keep to traditional materials where possible, and finding glass from a WW2 bombing sent shivers down my spine 😬❣️
Well done 'lads' !
All the entertainment needed to put a smile on one's face!
I can’t wait to see the new beam put in! The cottage is coming along so nicely!
Anyone else watching from Switzerland?
Great work and quite entertaining 👍😃
Oh my gosh....you have left us in suspense!!! Will the beam make it in, will the wall collapse, most of all will it fit!!!The cottage is going to be grand when it is finished. Christmas dinner for everyone that helped you see your dream come true. Love your music choices.
Wow... So enjoyed this.. Your Dad and the block only experience can teach this!! 100% on the oak... Well done guys loving watching your progress x
Shout out to Sean. He's a gem! Gripping episode, thank you.
Amazing! How did they construct with these materials 100’s of years ago! So impressive
Yes!!!
Another engrossing video. I could watch men working all day🥰😜.
I get soooooo excited when anew vlog comes out!!!!! The cottage is coming along nicely. Ernest is so adorable.
How EXCITING!!!! What a memorable family affair. Thanks for taking us along for the journey!
It is like a thriller at the end. I am on the edge of my seat.... your family is amazingly supportive of all of your hopes and dreams 😊
Wow! How exciting is this! Loving it Michael..great storytelling and can't wait till next week...Love your recap..its easy to forget how much work has gone to getting it to this stage..PS Hope you kept a bit of the glass - piece of history...
Brilliant production Michael. The cottage is coming on so well.
Oh, this is so exciting! You'll be glad you held out for the oak beam. Don't worry about the Christmas "deadline". You'll have many Christmases there in the years ahead.
The cottage is coming along beautifully! Can’t wait to see it finished!
This is so exciting. I never doubted there would be an oak beam rather than steel.
Well that was cheeky. 😉We get to all the drama and now we have to wait for the next instalment. 🤣😂
Well done Michael and all your family and friends that helped out doing all that . That was such a big job and it,s all really coming together now . It was your best video yet.
Your Dad is a marvel. And you are relentless. Loved the re-cap and the way your family works together is awesome. -9C here tonight.
I’m so excited to see the next show! Me eyes 👀 Were glued
Your dad is brilliant! Knows so much about everything you need to do! And his friend is also helpful! Your in great hands ! Can’t wait to see floor down should be the envy of chateau when finished! 😜😎
Michael, the editing on this particular video was so creative and fun to watch! This kind of editing will grow your vlog and I just wanted you to know I love your projects and have watched and subscribed from your beginning! Thanks for what you do!
Sooooo much enjoy watching your vlog. Your joy and enthusiasm is wonderful. You have a terrific family. Love the music also.
Wish it didn’t end so soon! Getting exciting! Well done with the suspenseful music!
Ha, to see Michael like a kid on Christmas morn’ when getting that huge beam! So fun to watch his dream come to life.
Cherish your Dad Michael, I miss mine so much. He would have been 100 years old today(25thOct) but he died 30 years ago. He used to do lots of woodwork for me when I had my first house in the 70s.
19:00 “Ask the woodworm, they’re well connected” 😂
I love this kind of humor! 😂
Quite the cliff hanger ending! I can't wait! Looks amazing, you guys are really doing tremendous work.
I think that was your best video yet. I really liked the look back and the dramatic ending.
The ending was exciting!!
...... edge of me seat ..... teeth grit
How exciting!! Sooo happy you got your oak beam Michael!! Can’t wait to see it go in!!! You are sooo blessed to have such amazing help!!
Thank You 🙏 Michael I am so enjoying watching the cottage come together
Way to go!!!!!! you all are so wonderful !!!!!!. i have been watching you all from the start you have my heart!!!! you have such a wonderful father!!!!! enjoy him!!!!! i look forward to the next show!! xo. xo. xo. to you alll !!!!!
Oh my goodness, now you’re even using teases for the next video! “Be patient,” I tell myself. The next never seems to come soon enough. I’m so happy for you!
Good to see things are progressing on the cottage. You are lucky to have your family helping you.
Michael be nice to Ryan🥰
Bravo Pethericks! You've even added some suspense to the storyline. Great vlogging.
Bravo 👏🏼 progress
Nice to see, so good, you all work together, you did not lie when you told us that you all have different skills, and always get the job done between your.😊
I hope you know that UA-cam now thinks that I speak French because I'm sitting through the ads. :)
I do look forward to the next video, great to see you already got the beam in.
Thank God for the cherry picker, dad & Sean for their experience and you for the vision.
