I never would have imagined I would be so entertained by a 20 minute video of a wooden beam. Congrats on accomplishing another step towards a habitable cottage 🥂
@@probstnatalie I never thought I would give a flat ding dang about a beam being put in but then I think about it I like building and construction but I didn't think I would have been watching and loving the fact it was being done but then I am so happy ysee the progress made on the cottage and thank dear Daddy for his dream for the angels were truly talking to him to let him know the beam Michael had was rotten they were about to go on with full on construction and that second floor would cave in that may have saved Michael's and others lives. Always keep your ears and eyes open to a psychic thought it a dream you just may be getting a message that could change the course of your life just think if Michael's father said oh it was just a dream but Michael listened to his father when he said I had a dream your main beam is rotten he said ok what do we do.

Ok, so, I’ve already seen the new stairs installed, insulation and upstairs walls go up, but watching this had me audibly gasping and thinking “is that wall going to cave in?!?” The drama! Kudos to the whole team that made this happen. My heart is still pounding… Also, your dad never ceases to amaze me with his dexterity and strength.
Absolutely brilliant and what teamwork. You are one lucky chap Michael to have such help. Everyone so competent in the job that had to do. A beautiful beam that will add such character to your future home. Fantastic.
These times you are spending with your dad will be with you forever. You are very blessed to have him so healthy and able at his age and you will never, ever regret spending time with those you love. Enjoy them!
It seemed like forever waiting for this story to come. I don't think I breathed once the whole time- well done guys that was precision workmanship. Onward and upward now Michael in leaps and bounds !!!
Seriously this series should be nominated for a Daytime Emmy award and win. i literally just found this channel yesterday and I've watched every episode to this point. I'm hooked!
What suspense! Scaffolding waving in the breeze. Debris flying. Billy flying. Sean teetering at great heights. Mr. P. manning the digger as gingerly as a maid delivering a basket of fresh eggs, cracking nary a one. An incredible feat worthy of a Rube Goldberg construct, except this engineering accomplishment is real. If there were an Emmy Award for RUclips the Doing It Ourselves team would win, hands down.
Few ppl think of the minds, the labor and the man hours that went into building our treasures that last centuries and millennia. Thank you so much for bringing us along on the restoration! That’s a mighty proud piece of work. Cuppa tea!
Men with skills! Men with machines! Men with tools! It’s is so interesting to see how these buildings are constructed, and reassuring to know that there are still people who know how to do all of this work👏👏
It’s so refreshing to see a family come together in a healthy way. Everyone treating each other with respect and working together to achieve something positive. Wow.
Ok I’m thinking, whose more excited about this beam going in, them or us? Let’s face it we would all, at this point love to be there helping in this project. Then it would be all our project and dare I say a better use of our time than staying home. Thanks gentlemen once again for the distraction. Bloody exciting.....
@@veronicamoss2597 That beam may even call for some champagne I fist said beer or a drink in the evening but that is a major accomplishment Julia Elizabeth Kneece Gregg
Oh my goodness! I was so nervous watching this video! I was worried something would go drastically wrong and the walls would collapse and the beam fall down!! Thank goodness Michael has two skilled craftsmen to do this job. Billy is not too shabby with the cherry picker either! Phew, I need a glass of wine after watching that!🤦♀️🤣🍷
" 'I have oft' done the impossible because noone told me 'twas so'...or I chose not to believe them!" Congratulations to the gardener's cottage team for doing your impossible!
I know it could have gone very badly, and you would not have shown it . Still I was holding my breath. So you have accomplished the hardest part. Cheers to the whole crew.
Are you going to seal that end-grain, before rebuilding that outer wall? So that someone 300 years from now blesses your kind prescience for preventing rot?!
Oh my gosh, I was on pins and needles as it was going in. Wow, well done guys. I salute you all. This is better then any show on TV. Wow. Take care and God bless you all.
💓This is what the British workmen discuss over the endless cups of tea how to get a job done💓Billy’s skill with the cherry picker was spot on he deserves a pay rise💓Micheal your dad & Mick are teaching you the ropes for future projects💓It’s coming along nicely guys💓Far better than any shite on the tv💓
Beautiful job fitting that beam. Just a recommendation for future beam sliding. When the rollers are to big, get a large plastic cutting board. Lay it on the scaffold, set the beam on it and it will slide nice and smooth. Just a recommendation from an old contractor in the states.
Holding my breath, what a team, had a good laugh when Sean said the beam was upside down, my late husband and father built our house from the ground up, got a phone call at work from my dad, saying my husband had finished all the brick work and realised he had laid them all upside down, after I had a total break down and my dad had stopped laughing said that had made his day and hung up on me.
I love the comments about the Chunnel. I remember when it first opened, I read in The Sun that you could "smell the waft of garlic from the French side."
My heart was in my throat the whole time watching this! Can you tell us who Sean is and how he came to be your right-hand man? You all have great talents that blend and complement each other so beautifully. You're a perfect team, and thank God you are - with all the limitations covid has created!
You did a great job on the video Michael. Love your dad's idea on putting a nice big beam in the first place...he's such a character! Well done all! Can't wait for the next video! Thank you...take care!
I love the soundtrack! This is riveting stuff! You are all invested in seeing this cottage restored, as are we, the audience. This is very exciting to watch....who knew?
Two experienced tradesmen which know how to do construction safely. Brilliantly done. Teamwork at its best with good communication. Going like a dream. I am sure Michael and Billy are bless with their father and Shaun aid around the Chateau and buildings. Restoration will be amazing.👌
When your dad originally said about a RSJ, I thought he was right. Now though Michael, you’re absolutely right about using a solid oak beam. Am looking forward to the rest of the restoration. We love your dad. Kind regards, Chris the Englishman.
Wow, what a big job. That beam was toast for sure. So glad you found a real one to replace it. This is some operation to get that beam in the cottage. Amazing, great job!!!
An entire episode can be done with all the Mick coolness clips like when he starts the chainsaw. ❤Mick💋 Last clip of Mick walking away saying, "Time for a cup of tea."
Mick and Sean are heroes when it comes to all of the renovation work, I am really enjoying watching how well they deal with all the work that is needed to be done, they're FAB and Billy and Michael aren't doing too bad either.😃
This video was fantastic. You are so lucky to have such a smart group of family and friends to help you make your projects happen. I just love watching to progress that you are making. Be well. Stay safe. We love you and yours!
Great job, so glad you replaced the beam before all your hard work would have been wasted. Now a solid beam, closer to the finished cottage. Thank you for sharing your experience. Better than Bob Villa.
My brother and I, are watching this together. This video is giving him anxiety! 😅 He is a safety rep for a construction company. I loved it! Can't wait to see this finished! ❤

Don’t forget that this rotten beam was found after Father Petherick had a fortuitous dream recently!

Awesome!! Your dream cottage is becoming a reality!! The teamwork and love involved in getting that beam in place wa spectacular!! Good job all!!
You are so fortunate to have your Dad and Sean....is there anything that they cannot do? 😉
Poop. If constipated.
Totally agree!!!
They can’t fix my broken family
Very satisfying result of teamwork, nobody panicked and tempers remained calm, at least on camera. I could watch this one over and over.
Very exciting to pleasing, and so, onwards and upwards.

Then it would be all our project and dare I say a better use of our time than staying home. Thanks gentlemen once again for the distraction. Bloody exciting.....
I love the sound of power tools in the morning sounds like victory

He's the best, it would be very difficult to get that kind of experience to do the job properly. Your Dad and Sean are invaluable....
The opening music was epic, and I loved La Marseillaise with the flag poking out. Great use of music. Loved the video.
Indeed 😂 the flag lol
"Cuppa tea". Two hard working men who know how to do things right. Dad and Shawn are helping make Michael's cottage happen.
I know it could have gone very badly, and you would not have shown it . Still I was holding my breath. So you have accomplished the hardest part. Cheers to the whole crew.
Cuppa tea always makes sense after something as serious as that. Wow
Beautiful work fellas!! Your very lucky to have some smart helpers because this could have been a disaster. I will be beautiful with that beam
So enjoy seeing the construction of your cottage! Look forward to your next update. 🛠 🧰 ⚒️
Nerve wracking but what a great coordinated team. It looks fabulous Michael!!
You all are utterly amazing! 🙏❤️just love this!
Are you going to seal that end-grain, before rebuilding that outer wall? So that someone 300 years from now blesses your kind prescience for preventing rot?!
Wow what a job great job everyone it’s beautiful I can’t wait to see the rest come together💞
Oh my gosh, I was on pins and needles as it was going in. Wow, well done guys.
I salute you all. This is better then any show on TV. Wow. Take care and God bless you all.
Just chipped in on the cottage hope it helps some...Looks like you are all working so hard!
Another enjoyable time just watching some guys work in the South of France. ☺️
Now that's an intro!!👍👍
Just think that you’ll have these memories of you, your dad, Sean & Billy all Building your HOME for the rest of your life!? That’s so special.
The cottage wouldn’t have waited another 10 years for the restoration that you said it would have taken for Gwen and Billy. Good job.
As a carpenter, I keep dreaming about those beams! I wonder what it would look like turned into a bowl.

Who knew installing a beam could be so dramatic and thoroughly entertaining?
Wow what a stressful day.... but you and your family did it.... One step closer....

That was a cliff hanger! What an incredible crew. You were right Michael, the beam is beautiful and will keep the cottage safe for many many years.
Love your Dad!😊⭐️ That was nervewracking for sure but so cool to see.... I’ve seen many installations but never a beam before ⭐️
Holding my breath, what a team, had a good laugh when Sean said the beam was upside down, my late husband and father built our house from the ground up, got a phone call at work from my dad, saying my husband had finished all the brick work and realised he had laid them all upside down, after I had a total break down and my dad had stopped laughing said that had made his day and hung up on me.
So, then what? Cid he have to redo? Your leaving a cliffhanger lol
@@chasethecat3839 haha I'm sorry, I hate cliffhangers, no I learnt to live with it, us Aussies are adaptable.
@@sandraroper8789 ty for replying and hoox for you go be adaptable. I have a little ocd; it would have drove me crazy lol. Your a good sport
So glad you found this out out the beam in October 2020 and not after the cottage was all fixed up.
Daddy P knows his stuff and has trained his “crew” well. Fun, watching this
Yay Michael, looking good! How excited you must be.
Big sigh of relief getting that big beam in.
👏👏👏👏🥳💖💛🧡 I loved the flag moment! Vive la France indeed!😁
Your dad and Sean are gems, your dad is the best ! It’s nice to see a family that works together so well !
I love the comments about the Chunnel. I remember when it first opened, I read in The Sun that you could "smell the waft of garlic from the French side."
Now it smells of macron and Merkels bs 😂😂😂💩💩💩💩💩
Music at beginning was very dramatic .loved it .it’s great that you can all work together and get the job done 👍☕️
My heart was in my throat the whole time watching this!
Can you tell us who Sean is and how he came to be your right-hand man? You all have great talents that blend and complement each other so beautifully. You're a perfect team, and thank God you are - with all the limitations covid has created!
Nice logs for the fire lol.
That cherry pickers a handy bit of machinery to have...
I love watching this..great..thanks Micheal.
I’d use them as stools around a fire pit.
Beautiful work, lads !! 🫣🫣. Was holding my breath at times but I knew you could do it❣️❣️

Billy is michaels younger brother
Jeeze that first bit should be a Stihl commercial!
I had to look closely to see the name, we love our 2
....looked like a mighty 461....
Great job, so glad you replaced the beam before all your hard work would have been wasted. Now a solid beam, closer to the finished cottage. Thank you for sharing your experience. Better than Bob Villa.
Your dad is epic starting that chainsaw :D love it
Omg you guys are rock stars my heart was pounding looks fantastic and safe so glad you filmed it i skipped the adds will watch again!
Wonderful!! I’d save a couple of those crosscuts to use beside my comfy chair. Just about the perfect size for a cup of tea and some biscuits
Michael mentioned elsewhere that he will use some of the good oak from the old beam for a butchers block, etc.
That was intense. Great job everyone.
Very enventive, we all do what we need too. This is some build, music is super, who knew a beam would en-site such drama. Regards Teri
