C'mon man, you have 240,000 subscribers, that's almost a quarter of a million people, don't you think it would be nice to post something a little more regularly>
Are you still learning how to play the piano Florian? It is a wonderful thing to learn and it will bring you joy for the rest of your life, wishing you all good things!!!
Florian, your beautiful smile compliments Michael’s sparkling eyes…you both look good in front of the camera. I think you may need a tripod! Best wishes to you! Joyeux Noel!
That was absolutely lovely Michael and Florian. Such beautiful photography, really interesting content and happy, hardworking people. I am so happy you are back filming again, looking well and with a fabulous product to show us and sell. I can't wait to see those beautiful sash windows go into the cottage. I hope you sell out Michael, so you can keep producing fabulous art work. 🤩
Always so nice to see you and Florián, Michael. Your filming is superb and this episode is really putting me into the Christmas spirit. Your windows are amazing! I have watched every step of your cottage renovation and love how you are working meticulously to maintain the integrity of the historical details. You are so talented! Your Christmas cards are just another beautiful example. Your sweet little Gardner’s cottage is the perfect subject!
Florian is "a machine" & artist.♥ love the shirt Florian is wearing in the end. beautiful prints / art. i love views outside of the chimney blowing smoke; beautiful.
Hello from Atlanta, GA (USA)! Great videos Michael, it is so great to see how much passion you have for your endeavors and it is so great to see your artistry, musical ability, eye for decoration and design and creativity culminate into such interesting and entertaining content. Happy New Year to you and yours and I wish you much success in 2023 and beyond!
Michael, I just discovered Billy's vblog...which led to YOUR vlog, about 2 weeks ago. Since I'm 84, and can do as I very well please, I've been staying up ALL NIGHTS, watching everyone's vlogs! I fell like you are all my family! And I hate to even leave the computer, as I feel like I'm missing so much! Your GARDENER'S COTTAGE is my dream home. Absolutely love everything you have done...except for the disappearance of your BLUE DISHES? That is such a part of your personality, I hope they reappear. THANK YOU for sharing your AMAZING TALENTS in so many different areas. You are truly a delight....as are others who work around/with you. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!
So nice to see Florian and you looking so happy Michael, you are so natural on camera. The windows are a work of art and will look fantastic. By the way, the music you choose for your vids is great and makes for good viewing. 👍
Florian's English has improved quickly! Now his great sense of humor can be better appreciated. Michael, your art is incredible! I'm so happy you are doing something you love. The new cottage windows are fantastic!
Thank You, Michael. I am retired and old as dirt and have always enjoyed your videos. Glad you’re back-You’ve been missed and Florian is a wonderful addition. 🍻
Florian is awesome. The two of them inspired me to buy a raclette and the proper cheese to put in it, and it was amazing. In the USA, no less. Raclette is basically unheard of here, so it was fun to share with people, since it's new to them.
I missed these vids, too. Between Michael, Billy, Sadie and Stephanie, these chateau series got me through my bout of COVID and the entire 18 months(ish?) we were on lockdown over here. But then Michael disappeared for way too long :( I'm glad he's back. I SOOO want to buy a painting :)
Hi Michael, we wanted to tell you how much we have enjoyed every one of your videos, we went back to the beginning of when your first video started. We have so enjoyed everyone of them. You are a very talented person and very nice as well. I am sad we all caught up on everyone of them. We have loved seeing the progress of your cottage. I hope you will do more of your videos, we are looking forward to seeing how your cottage comes out. Your kitchen is so warm and cozy. You are so good at cooking that it has inspired me to go back to cooking again. Love love love your paintings and xmas cards. We loved learning about the history of your chateau. Your family and friends are so amazing. You dad is very fun to watch, you mom is sweet. We hope that you will continue with the videos and the amazing renovations. The way you close out your videos with the music and the wonderful footage of your property is so cool. We could go on and on about how much we have enjoyed your videos. We look forward to the up and coming ones. We live in California and we are so glad we found your channel, and Billy's, Ryan's, Mo's and Sean World. Thank you for all the time and effort you have put into each and everyone of them. Thank you
Michael, I'm glad you are posting videos again! The quality is so professional. And your beautiful Christmas cards would be a delight for anyone to receive! The view of the chateau (15:05) is stunning with the contrast between the uplighting, dark evening sky, and smoke emanating from chimney! Mmmm. Cozy looking in the dining room with you signing all those cards and Floren behind the camera. If I were there I'd bake cookies then bring them into the dining room along with hot tea and join you both listening to you two chat away - or - cause I'm 75 I could be your holiday Grandma and talk about what it was like growing up in the USA (California) during the 50's! LOL Floren's Christmas jumper looks good...on him. Double-sided Christmas cards! They are so beautiful and unique! Oh, Michael. Would you consider including in one of your videos a night time view of the stars in the sky above the chateau? I imagine that over there without light pollution they must appear amazingly large and bright! PS: I love writing longhand with a fountain pen...the pen you are using is so elegant!
❤ I love these videos ! Thank you so much for continuing to share with us, I live in a small town in OKLAHOMA and could only ever dream of visiting ! So thank you so very much❤
Michael, those double-sash (aka double-hung in USA) look fantastic and so practical; great for air circulation when it rains and as you pointed out, the window doesn't open into the room requiring more space like a door does. Love the personal touches you and Florian are giving to your artist prints. Joyeux Noël, Michael. All my best to you, your family, Florian and friends.
Beautiful filming, Florian, and editing guys! Good to see Santa and his elf busy at work. Looking forward to receiving my Christmas cards. The oak windows are fabulous. With your new routing machine you can almost make them yourself in the future. Christmas hugs to you! 🎄🔔
It makes me very happy to see you happy Michael 😊. The windows look really good and will make a very positive change for your cottage. Your prints and Christmas cards are absolutely magical. Great vlog Michael and Florian🎄❤️🙏
The windows look great they will really transform the cottage, I am sure you would work it out but remember the top sash goes on the outside the lower on the inside otherwise the rain will leak in, just saying as you had them the other way round and as they are not common place in France, would hate to see them installed incorrectly. Was great to see you and Florian.. keep up the good work guys Robb Torremolinos Spain 💕💕
Hi Michael and Florian, the cards are so beautiful, your talent Michael is second to none, I love the English cottage theme you are doing it makes it so cozy and warm, the windows look perfect and when they are installed and painted the exterior look will be complete. Florian the love and care you put into the wrapping of the prints is remarkable it adds so much thought and personal attention to Michael's work, you two make a great team and partners, much love from N.Y.
We are all so very very happy to see you and Florian. You both are darling and are wonderful partners! Boy … the stairs, door and windows are amazing. You are so talented. I live the prints and Christmas cards. I hope in your next video you say”regretfully we have sold out but more are being printed”. Best to you and Florian I know you all will have a wonderful and very Merry Christmas. Stay warm and cozy ❤️
Hello Hello Michael! So excited that you have a new vlog tonight 👍 So beautiful as usual. The music, the background and the music. Ohhh amazing indeed 👏 So happy for you that your new windows to the cottage arrive just in time for the xmas. You and Florian work really hard for the xmas cards orders. He's really really good in wrapping them. Plus he's now getting better in filming you. Bravo both of you and many thanks for giving us joy in your videos. Cheers 😍👍👏
Michael your attention to detail in your Art work is beautiful and Florian wrapping well what can we say good work, those windows for the cottage are magnificent can't wait to see the finishing touches to the cottage, great video x 💕🌼🤗
Michael, your prints and cards look fantastic. I can see so much detail and Christmas charm went into your design. You're a fabulous artist. Love the sash windows. They are very common in the US. I think you'll enjoy how they will keep the drafts out in the winter and let the cool breeze in, in the summer. I look forward to seeing them painted and up in the cottage. Thank you Florian for your hard work with filming these videos and supporting Michael with the business. Happy Holidays All!
Michael so great to see you. We miss you. You have great talent across many different skills, trades and ability to acquire, retain and use knowledge. We want to see more of you, as much for your health as our enjoyment. Your followers are cheering you on.
Hello Michael. So glad to see you here again. Windows look awesome. You are using a lovely fountain pen as well. Very classy. Florian is getting more and more comfortable with the camera. Love the b roll with the snow.
Since you both have been together over a yr, what are your thoughts for the future? Will Florian move in once the cottage is finished permanently? Hope so❤️🙏
Your artwork is stunning. I’m amazed how talented you are in so many areas!! I was thinking for your Christmas items you should have said : “Doing it OurElves” HAPPY HOLIDAYS!! 🎄😁 Adele San Antonio, TX
Those windows will be amazing and the quality is incredible. How wonderful is it that your art is doing so well and making people happy. So nice that Florian is helping out and also getting kudos for his wrapping skills. So pleased you are filming again.
How Christmassy and a great video. The sash windows are beautifully crafted and looking forward to seeing them put in. I do love how you explain how they will work. Florian credit to you for all your hard work ❤
Thank you, it’s been a very busy last week packing and sending parcels which can’t constantly be filmed for videos 😂 people would get bored quickly. I need more hands on deck so I can get painting the windows. 😅
The windows are beautiful, works of art. I'm surprised that sash windows(or double hung windows as we sometimes call it in the US) are uncommon there. It's a very common window style in the US. Nice to see Florian! Cute Christmas jumper too!
Double-hung sash windows are also the most common type of older window found in the US now. I am surprised they aren’t seen as much in France? I feel here in the US I rarely see casement windows on old buildings.
Wow, this put me in the mood for Christmas. Santa, has a tall order for me this year. I just need my own chateau and my own handy cameraman. All the best to Michael, Florian, and family. Merry Christmas and all the best in 2023.
Great job on the cards. Beautiful windows. They will look amazing in the cottage. The little hole that's a window that you stuffed insulation into it last Christmas will there be a window in it your all boarded up.
I am so happy Michael is vlogging again, but it is always extra special when we get to see Gwen and the boys, isn't it? Mo looks so much younger now that he is clean shaven🤔 Love the Petherick family and all their friends🥰
Michael: have you & Billy considered placing a handrail around the back steps going to the basement at the chateau? It appears it's at least a 6ft drop onto a hard confined surface and anyone falling including the children would be lucky to survive the fall. I love you guys and would hate to see anything happen to any of you... God Bless! ❤️🙏
WOW... I'm surprised no one else noticed this before. How are they able to get liability insurance with this fall hazard? In the states anything with more than a 3ft - 4ft fall has to have handrails before it can be insured.
It's sad when people ignore advice from people who care. What's really sad is I was a safety consultant for corporations for 30 years among other things. Almost every time a company ignored or overlooked a recommendation, someone died or was seriously injured. ❤️🙏
Michael, I'm glad you talked about the pen you were using! Fountain pen users (at least in the US where it's a niche hobby since we don't grow up using them in school) get very excited to see anyone using a fountain pen and always want to know which model it is, so I would have asked if you hadn't described it! I've been looking at the new Parker 51's but may wait and buy a vintage one. I hope you will film the installation of those gorgeous windows. Merry Christmas to you and your family and to Florian!
Love the whole video Micheal and Florian, I love the art work and it is so beautiful, I actually use the cards and all holiday cards, and place them all around the entrance of my living room. Love that idea of how you all mail the cards. Thanks for sharing.
See Brian Manne channel. I wish I had found his channel years ago. I have hurricane shutters, and heat and light filtering screens. See how he restores double hung windows. Having mine still working since 1912. See what he says about building a door jamb.
Got my cottage picture and Christmas card in the mail about a week ago. And they’re sitting on my bookshelf. I love them! The cottage picture is going to be part of my annual Christmas decor. It turned out so lovely Michael, nice work!
I adore you and your channel Michael but I have to tell you, I'm close to unsubscribing. If you're not going to put any effort into regular content anymore then I see no reason why I should stay subscribed. I appreciate content providers have lives away from their cameras but when your brother went on vacation he left a notice informing people when he'd return. To me, it feels like your heart just isn't in it anymore. Which is a shame because I really did enjoy your channel. I wish you all the best regardless and I hope you find a new and fullfilling passion project.
I just love seeing you two sweetie pies working so well together. The prints and cards are so beautiful, Michael. 🤩Well done! The windows are gorgeous as well. 😍Really excited to see them going in. Looking forward to seeing the bell getting installed at the convent. What a lovely way to ring in the new year. Love you guys and sending you both big hugs. 😘💕🫂💗See you soon! Hopefully. 😉
Love seeing the landscape and the cedar of Lebanon tree. Who cleaned and set up the horse barns? Stables. Loving the season, and Michael...your such an historian, ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
C'mon man, you have 240,000 subscribers, that's almost a quarter of a million people, don't you think it would be nice to post something a little more regularly>
What a pleasure to record this video 😍 Well done Michael 💪
You are so cute Florian. Happy to see you infront of the camera aswell ;-)
BG ❤
Are you still learning how to play the piano Florian? It is a wonderful thing to learn and it will bring you joy for the rest of your life, wishing you all good things!!!
Hello Florian. Lovely to meet you last May, hope you are well. With love from M & M (Marilyn and Michael) on the Isle of Wight. Xx
Florian, your beautiful smile compliments Michael’s sparkling eyes…you both look good in front of the camera. I think you may need a tripod! Best wishes to you! Joyeux Noel!

❤️❤️❤️❤️ your channel, Merry Christmas 🎄 to all. Beautiful paintings. Michael your so amazingly skilled. Your impressive. ❤️🎄🍷🍾
This was lovely! Such beautiful paintings, Michael! Thank you so much for this gentle, festive treasure of a video. Love it.
I use a tarp..lay my branches on it..and drag it behind my vehicle...largest, uncut, first with smaller on top...it is really fast...
When you first talked about the pen and it's former owner...I thought maybe she had left you hers....
Florian is "a machine" & artist.♥ love the shirt Florian is wearing in the end.
beautiful prints / art.
i love views outside of the chimney blowing smoke; beautiful.
He is so handsome!

Florian needs to be on more. Maybe he needs a channel!
Great job guys Can't wait to see Windows Very nice
Very nice to watch. And Mo is always so ready to give a hand to you all.
Thank You, Michael.
I am retired and old as dirt and have always enjoyed your videos. Glad you’re back-You’ve been missed and Florian is a wonderful addition. 🍻
Don't say old as dirt, say I've been shining as long as the sun has!

I love using my fountain pens! I like the wider nibs because you get just a bit of a calligraphy look with them. ✒🖋

Beautiful windows. They are so well made, Ernest's Grandkids will enjoy them.
Love everything you do Michael
Selmar's vlog tonight explains an awful lot
So sorry for your pain
More than 8 minutes of Michael flogging his Christmas cards. No thanks.
More please

The windows are beautiful. Regards to you Michael and Florian. Thank you for the video.
Hello Michael. So glad to see you here again. Windows look awesome. You are using a lovely fountain pen as well. Very classy. Florian is getting more and more comfortable with the camera. Love the b roll with the snow.
Same boat as we are! Been waiting on our windows forever and they just came in FINALLY! We are so excited!
Hope the rest of your journey in renovating goes faster. ☃️❄️🎄
Since you both have been together over a yr, what are your thoughts for the future? Will Florian move in once the cottage is finished permanently? Hope so❤️🙏
Oh my goodness!! Christmas intro with Michael Buble❤️❤️❤️🎄❄️☃️🎅🎅 !! HELLO Michael and Florian!! My favorite reasons to skip housework!!
Great video and lovely background music!🌲
Beautiful sunset 😊

Handsome Florian as always uses his hands wisely 😎💋👍🇺🇸
Beautiful paintings Michael!

Those windows will be amazing and the quality is incredible. How wonderful is it that your art is doing so well and making people happy. So nice that Florian is helping out and also getting kudos for his wrapping skills. So pleased you are filming again.
Merry Christmas Michael and Florian. Those windows look excellent. With the aga going you’ll be boiling hot in the cottage.
Where is Michael Petherick ? We missed you come back soon.
A happy day is when a new Doing It Ourselves video arrives! :)
What have YOU done, yourself?
What’s the status on the cottage?
Florian! How nice that you two work so well together. Glad to see your channel active again Michael, you’ve been missed.
How Christmassy and a great video. The sash windows are beautifully crafted and looking forward to seeing them put in. I do love how you explain how they will work. Florian credit to you for all your hard work ❤
Florian just needs to change his name to "EyeCandy" and be done with it
The windows are beyond beautiful. The craftmanship is exquisite I think you are very lucky to have found someone to make them for you
I am observing how much time and dedication you are putting into your business. I pray every success and prosperity in your life dear Michael.
Thank you, it’s been a very busy last week packing and sending parcels which can’t constantly be filmed for videos 😂 people would get bored quickly. I need more hands on deck so I can get painting the windows. 😅
Congratulations on getting your wonderful Windows 🤗🎄⛄🎄
Brilliant Christmas cards🤗🎄⛄
Florian is a Gem 🤗
Love Sue ❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
Florian's doing a wonderful job, and the windows look great! Well done all ☺
Thank you Michael and Florian. The windows are beautiful. 💕🇦🇺
Mr.sunshine Florian, is back!! :) He is so sweet in his pullover!!
i wish we could see more of you guys! I get such pleasure from watching you two accomplish so many goals. Merry Christmas and CHEERS!
Yay! How exciting! So happy for you!

Florian does a wonderful job with the wrapping.
Michael your art work is amazing you have such a talent
Missing your videos
Wow, this put me in the mood for Christmas. Santa, has a tall order for me this year. I just need my own chateau and my own handy cameraman. All the best to Michael, Florian, and family. Merry Christmas and all the best in 2023.
Me too. It can’t be any colder In a chateau than in my house. And at least it would be pretty.
Will you be doing Christmas cards again this year? They are beautiful! ❤️
When are you doing more videos Michael
Great job on the cards. Beautiful windows. They will look amazing in the cottage. The little hole that's a window that you stuffed insulation into it last Christmas will there be a window in it your all boarded up.
Ernest and Archie are getting so big, and Gwen just as beautiful as ever.
I am so happy Michael is vlogging again, but it is always extra special when we get to see Gwen and the boys, isn't it? Mo looks so much younger now that he is clean shaven🤔 Love the Petherick family and all their friends🥰
Great video, Michael and Florian. Keep up the great work on the cottage.
What’s happening with this channel Michael you have not made a video of your bedroom yet it MUST be finished by now ❤
Michael and Florian make a great looking couple
Everything is looking great Michael,and was so good to see the exquisite Florian again,such a treasure.
Michael: have you & Billy considered placing a handrail around the back steps going to the basement at the chateau? It appears it's at least a 6ft drop onto a hard confined surface and anyone falling including the children would be lucky to survive the fall.

Please engage with your huge world-wide audience…….. it’s just so random now. We miss the wonderful stuff.
You haven’t made a video in 9 days! Having withdrawals!
I’ve been sick with the flu so very behind on everything. There will be more soon!!
@@DoingItOurselvesOfficial oh I’m sorry to have hurried you if you are sick lad. Take your time to feel better ♥️
The new windows are a beautiful addition to the cottage! I can’t wait to see them installed and finished with the paint/varnish.
Michael, I'm glad you talked about the pen you were using! Fountain pen users (at least in the US where it's a niche hobby since we don't grow up using them in school) get very excited to see anyone using a fountain pen and always want to know which model it is, so I would have asked if you hadn't described it! I've been looking at the new Parker 51's but may wait and buy a vintage one. I hope you will film the installation of those gorgeous windows. Merry Christmas to you and your family and to Florian!
Love the whole video Micheal and Florian, I love the art work and it is so beautiful, I actually use the cards and all holiday cards, and place them all around the entrance of my living room. Love that idea of how you all mail the cards. Thanks for sharing.
See Brian Manne channel. I wish I had found his channel years ago.
I have hurricane shutters, and heat and light filtering screens. See how he restores double hung windows. Having mine still working since 1912.
See what he says about building a door jamb.
Hope you are feeling better Michael. I miss all your Christmas videos you usually make.
Got my cottage picture and Christmas card in the mail about a week ago. And they’re sitting on my bookshelf. I love them! The cottage picture is going to be part of my annual Christmas decor. It turned out so lovely Michael, nice work!
Miss you Michael! Hope you’re coming back soon
That was great! Thx Michael n Florian!
I adore you and your channel Michael but I have to tell you, I'm close to unsubscribing. If you're not going to put any effort into regular content anymore then I see no reason why I should stay subscribed. I appreciate content providers have lives away from their cameras but when your brother went on vacation he left a notice informing people when he'd return. To me, it feels like your heart just isn't in it anymore. Which is a shame because I really did enjoy your channel. I wish you all the best regardless and I hope you find a new and fullfilling passion project.
He's into making art and selling it now
When you need a cuteness fix…these two will always do. 🥰
I just love seeing you two sweetie pies working so well together. The prints and cards are so beautiful, Michael. 🤩Well done! The windows are gorgeous as well. 😍Really excited to see them going in. Looking forward to seeing the bell getting installed at the convent. What a lovely way to ring in the new year. Love you guys and sending you both big hugs. 😘💕🫂💗See you soon! Hopefully. 😉
This was lovely ( as usual), Michael!
So nice to see you and Florian again💕
Love seeing the landscape and the cedar of Lebanon tree. Who cleaned and set up the horse barns? Stables. Loving the season, and Michael...your such an historian, ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
