It's great to have Michael back! His personality and energy are magnetic.

Michael, Yanis and Rick are incredibly hard workers. Also, I love that Billy is doing the filming.

You can tell, Michael has been dreaming about this day for years> he is soo happy! 🎉🎉🎉❤

This has become my new favorite KZfaq series, I'm hooked to see this chateau and convent being restored.

Michael's thriving doing this project. It's a joy to watch 😊

The nano second view of Michael's kitchen looks so lovely! So cottage like.

It’s so wonderful to see Michael so enthusiastic about a project. Love seeing him smiling and laughing. This kitchen is going to be fabulous!

You know why piggy is running to the cow barn because pigs need mud to roll in for their skin as well as get wet. You should get 2 kiddy pools, make one muddy and a swimming pool with just water. Then, piggy might stay in his yard.

So great to see Rick, Yannis, Michael all working together! Crack on!

Yannis' English is improving. It's wonderful how the Pethericks are helping this young man. Love you guys. This is definitely my favorite KZfaq channel.

When Billy showed the kitchen a few years ago I found it hard to believe that he'd ever get around to that. What a project! It's huge, mysterious, grand, and worth the effort.

All of you should be wearing masks to clean up the dust.

Michael is the one that got me watching shows like this. I am glad to see him back. He is an amazing soul!!!

When I was a child on a tour of a huge cave in the Appalachian mountains, they explained to us that stalactites cling "tight" to the ceiling, and that if stalagmites get dripped on enough, they "might" grow up to meet the stalactites and make a column. That was how they taught us to tell them apart!

Love Michael ❤ It was fun to see that quick view of his kitchen.

I really enjoy having Michael back in the mix. He, like all of you, is very talented.

Well done, Michael. That one shot of the ceiling really puts the enormity of the job into perspective. It is going to look amazing. Can hardly wait to see the floor. Nothing is worth it if you didn't work for it!

I love all you guys so please please wear masks while demolishing that old rust. It will prevent emphysema in later years.

It’s the Pethericks time .. yipee 👏👏❤️

Michael IS BACK and we love him🩷

I'm laughing when Michael 's laughing! Love seeing him happy

Please put a gopro on the pig. I'd love to see it's explore the grounds. I'd love to see the dogs doing a run through the woods. Is there any chance of another Chateau tour 😊.

After a late night, and loads of work, it’s no wonder you were a “bit delirious”! Your sense of humor, however, remained intact👍💕

You should be wearing respirators and proper ppe not just with the glass particles you are all breathing in, but also with the lead content or possibility of asbestos in a lot of the material in the chateau. Be safe

That kitchen transformation is stunning!! Great work all of you. Billy, your artistic filming is beautiful.

Michael is certainly an artist.

For the sand blaster, his new catch phrase could be “let’s Blast On!”

I understand that drive to always learn and grow, keep learning Michael even if it’s only a few hours.

So much love to the people that made, preserved, and gave you the drawings. ❤

Another marvel Billy. You make renovating look like a cinematic experience 👏👏 special mention Rick bathed in light, and the gentle rolling of dust in the air. Well done!

Michael your cottage is just lovely

Guys if there was glass particles used in the sandblasting process , you’re breathing IT IN ! WORK SMARTER NOT HARDER !!! Eye protection too

I can't wait to see how the kitchen floor turns out. Great job, guys. 😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

It’s a mammoth job getting rid of all that rust but what an achievement when it’s Done. Mighty effort by everyone.

The vlogs are getting better every time! Love that Michael is back and I can't wait to see his plans for the kitchen.

Those are some loyal workers you have showing up like this for every manner of unusual punishment with a smile on their faces ready to do a great job.

stala-c-tites = ceiling (c), stala-g-mites = ground (g)

Monty needs a friend to hang out with. lol

Luv seeing Michael again!❤

You guys really should be wearing resperators.. always.. working in there. Take care.

You are all hysterical with fatigue!!!! Your enthusiasm is contagious. So entertaining!!!!!!

Michael, every time I see your kitchen I am so jealous of that beautiful AGA you restored❤

Great to see Michael’s cottage. This is so fantastic and Billy’s filming is great!

Love the music, love the aerial shots, love the videos, love the Pethericks!

In the navy we had these tools called "needle guns" which were air pressured guns with a tray of about 13 long metal needles, which you covered with a sleeve and then pulled the trigger and the piston would caused the needles to go in and out and you could chip the metal off quite easily.

I am asthmatic at 70 yrs with major lung problems because of breathing dust, textile fibers, cleaning chemicals, etc from all the years of a 43yr dry cleaning business of my mothers.. I wish they had made us wear masks at work all those years.. All you young fellows might not think it’s a big deal now but an older you will probably wish you had been just a bit more careful at this job.. Crack on, you lovely boys.. I’m enjoying every moment.. Just letting my motherly instincts give you some advice .. 💜💜💜💜

To some of us, the reparation/renovation of the chateau kitchen is such a special gift, because we have been hoping to see this happen for a long time. This incredible chateau cannot fully function without a kitchen, and this kitchen, as much work as it is, can be as fabulous as the convent kitchen (although uniquely different). You all are absolutely "cracking on," and the results are awe-inspiring.

It’s 3:40am here in Queensland Australia. I have terrible insomnia and love watching you every morning. Thanks all ❤

Great job with the filming and editing, Billy. But I miss seeing you.

Awesome diversity in imagery with wonderful Audio ✨Billy .. you are so talented.. including your whole team ✨🙏👏🙏✨

That kitchen is going to be absolutely beautiful ❤❤❤

Loved the brief glimpse of Michael’s cottage with the famous Aga.

Rick and Yuannis are adorable!

I do miss Billy's face! Yannis and Rick are real consistent grafters💪🏻👍🏻

I must say, I am so impressed! 😮🤩When you first showed us the kitchen and said you were gonna renovate it I honestly thought you had gone mad 🫣. In my opinion that kitchen was too fare gone... Most of all because of all the water, moist and damp 💦Rot and deterioration. 🤢 I cannot have that. It gives me the chill. But you have done magic! ❤The room now looks so dry and "clean" from all that humidity. Now it sparkles and shouts out how happy it is and suddenly I can see all it can become. I now believe that the kitchen will be as wonderful as the one in the convent. A real Downton abbey kitchen. Well done all of you guys 👏💪

Michael has a wonderful laugh ❤❤❤

Nice to see the hard workers …that cute little piggy..make sure u look after him.

Michael the quick view of your cottage was lovely. So homey!

Michaels kitchen is absolutely gorgeous 😊

Michael, you must be exhausted. Everyone has been doing s great job.

My favourite channel especially when Michael's there he's so charismatic x

Michael going loopy reminds me of Billy after that endless grind of tiling in the kitchen. Hillarious!

Its great to see Michael so well and enthusiastic. Also it's been nice to see how well Yanis has got on,nothing seems to phase him ,well done Yanis.

The new kitchen it coming along so well. I can’t believe how far you have gotten in such a short amount of time. It is going to be amazing. I can’t wait to see the full transformation. ❤️

Yay. Missed you yesterday. ❤❤❤❤

Love seeing work done on the chateau also!! ❤

Michael is doing an amazing amount of work in a short amount of time. Two thumbs up.

What a treat to see Michael's kitchen with the Blue Willow again! It's a great reminder of how far you all have come. Kuddos to Martin allowing Michael to try his hand at the sand blasting. Not every professional would allow someone else to use their equipment.

Crack on Rick, working above shoulder height - one of the most difficult working positions to maintain with hand or power tools. Centre of gravity is way off, whereby exhaustion sets in much sooner (than with lower positions), so take breaks as necessary. Work smart, not hard.

This is a very exciting project!

What a fabulous project! I can't wait to see each new vlog and each step forward. You guys are great!

You are a great personality Michael. Lovely to smile along with you. Can't wait to see more of the kitchen renovation. (South Africa)

Yanis has grown so much over this year, and has been gaining such skills along the way. His English is coming great guns. I’m so happy to see a young man gaining what he needs to carry him successfully through the rest of his life.🖤🇨🇦

I think Micheal should do a camping night out in the woods and cook a meal…outside. It be fun .

I love the change from the convent. Was considering backing out however the change brought me back🤭😀😀yes. Keep switching it up

Michael is a bit slap happy🤣😂!! Thanks for the peek into the cottage...it's been a while! Would love to see the upstairs=)

Love seeing and hearing Micheal laugh❤ also Billy and crew, you all work so hard. The Chateau is looking much better, really beautiful 👏🏻👏🏻🇬🇧

On a family vacation about 70 years ago a guide in Carlsbad Caverns told us kids how to remember stalagtites and -mites. You visualize a dancer and say "when the mights go up, the tights come down." I've never forgotten that image! So much accomplished today, guys. Michael, you are very entertaining when lacking sleep. A great vid.

The chateau kitchen is beginning to feel loved. When the kitchen is finished, it will be stunning!

I could watch you break up stalagmites all day! It's like ASMR. This kitchen transformation has been really fun to watch.

Wow Billy! Did you feel like you were filming a space invader? Bravo Michael!

This is the highlight of my day , couldn’t tell u how many times I checked for your video yesterday and there wasn’t one 😱💙💙💙💙💙💙🇬🇧

Brilliant video Brilliant job everyone🤗👍🤗👍🤗👍🤗👍🤗👍 Love Sue❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤

The kitchen looks amazing already! Doesn’t look as creepy as it did. Nice job!

It's great to see the kitchen restoration. The actual chateau and bring it back to the original use of the lower kitchen is a wonderful thing!.... I can't wait to see it restored and with equipment there that actually has it working!

Billy we haven't seen you on camera for while, are you well? Michael seems to have found his joy again and it's wonderful to see him Cracking On! He started all of this and was missed terribly by so many of us. Thank you for sneak peaks at parts of the Chateau and out buildings Chateau de la Basmaignée is Beautiful!

"One small step for sandblasting. One giant leap for the Chateau kitchen" - Michael looking as though he's moonwalking ha! ha! Well done all on a real slog of a week. 👍

Love Montgomery the Pig. Really exciting to see the work going on at the Chateau for the Kitchen renovation. 👏👏

Why not have Martin sandblast the bars on the windows while he's there and get them done before the window installation ? Crack on !

❤ U, Michael!!!🦋 May your Creative Soul always Soar! -SE Houston, TX

Such a great job with the music-thanks.

Thank you for such a variety. Always enjoyable.

The spark from sharpening your tool was so pretty! You are such hard working guys !

Happy you Guys are having fun working on such a tedious but fulfilling project! Crack on!!

Nice video hello to Michael when he gets back from inner space

Michael is so much fun! Such a talented bunch of gentleman. Love your vlog.

Great music as usual Billy, thank you!

Oh Billy and crew, this Florida grandmother worries about you all. Please work safe in working your magic in the space !!!

Wow! That looks like hard going! Kudos, Michael for trying it out! The kitchen will be amazing!

It was so nice to see the inside of Michael’s cottage again. It’s lovely, so neat and clean.
