Very kind of the carpenter to give you the plans for the chateau’s woodwork. Michael, your enthusiasm for this kitchen restoration is contagious, crack on! 🙏❤️
Things happen for a reason and how wonderful the plans are around. I can't help with think Michael would have come up with something very similar on his own!
I suspect any company or craftsman who did original work on the chateau may have similar plans or samples. I suspect that paint sample you chose was put out for you to consider because somebody suspected you would be looking for a color similar to the original.😊
Micheal, you and Billy are so attentive to sympathetic restoration, you are investing your time and skills in preserving these historic buildings for future generations.
What a valuable gift to have the plans for the kitchen at the Chateau! I agree that it is an excellent idea to scan the plans so you will always have a digital copy as well. This project has gotten much more exciting! Well done, Michael!
That was an incredibly generous gesture by the grandson of the original château carpenter, since he had to go out of his way to come all the way to the house and the fact the documents are a part of his family history.
You already have an aircompressor on hand, why not use a needle scaler to chip the rust inbetween sandblastings? MUCH more efficient than hammer and chisel.
I just learned what a needle scaler is today from another RUclipsr The 2nd Empire Strikes Back. He is restoring his Victorian home in St. Louis, Missouri.
Когда я строил свой дом из кирпича и в 3 этажа, я нанял рабочих для работы по дереву. Договорились по цене. Я видел их инструмент. Я спросил их сколько будет стоить их работа с использованием моего инструмента более качественного и нового. Цена оказалась намного ниже. На эту разницу я купил весь инструмент и станки. Работа была проведена более качественно и все инструменты остались у меня.
This kitchen will be as epic as the convent kitchen - such an admirable attention to detail. I was wondering, for those of us who came on board with the convent, if a small tour could be conducted? It would help place spaces in relation to each other. Loving this format: a little convent here, a little chateau there, beautiful music and Michael on board to keep us informed. Many thanks and well done!
Well done to the original carpenter and his grandson for keeping the plans and then giving them to you. It will be nice to see the craftsmanship recreated in the chateau.
To save your drawings place them unfolded between 2 sheets of acid free paper. You can iron the creases out with an iron on low setting with parchment paper between.
Michael seeing these floor plans and your enthusiasm for the the history of the chateau is so very cool 😎 and the desire to bring it back my hats off to you from Texas
I was so excited when I saw the name of the vlog. Michael is so very talented and, oh, how wonderful the plans survived. I'm so glad y'all are renovating the chateau and convent. It could not be in better hands ❤
I love that Michael and Billy are so in to restoring the chateau back to its original self. It always saddens me when people buy historic homes and then make them modern. You two are amazing. I also love the happiness you both get in all that you do. Be it large or small. What a blessing to have the grandson give you the plans. ❤️
The dividing screen you spoke of and your plan to replace it with a cabinet, reminded me of something similar I once saw, In Santa Fe New Mexico is the old hospital that is now a hotel. Part of that is the original hospital where the nuns lived. It was called Marion Hall. In the dining area was a breakfront that was a beautiful cupboard on one side and on the kitchen side was a shelf unit for the dishes. The side facing the dining area resembled an expensive China hutch, hand-carved in dark oak I think. I will try to locate a picture
Michael, since you don't have the time to scan all those drawings now, I think you should get it outsourced by someone who do high quality scans, and then make sure that you keep copies of all the scans both onsite and offsite as a security precaution. Unfortunately, worst case scenarios _do_ happen, all it takes is a water leak, a lightening strike or faulty electrics...
@@bluemoon1033 Yes, they most like are, but that does not help if the only copy is the original, 100 year old drawings, that is why I suggested they outsource the scanning job since they didn't have the time to do all of them now.
I am really enjoying Michael’s explanations of everything. The more he explains details the more animated he becomes. Thank you for your interesting details!😊
When Billy was on the fence about it, it made me doubt it a bit. I think it's "growing" on me. I like it there! Maybe that's why he captured the shot that way, to just take another look.
@@atomicrancher3745 Agreed, retired curator here. Scan the originals and fame copies. Disagree about not wearing glovers. Michael had clean hands until he touched his face. That oil on his fingers went on the paper he touched. Always wear gloves. Making digital copies is an awesome idea.
I love the attention to detail that you all have and putting things back as they were with of course some modern appliances. So many times when someone buys an old property they demo everything and modernize it and take away all the details that made it unique. I appreciate that in all you do.
Oh Micheal, it's one thing to restore, but to do it with the actual plans.....you must be so excited! Throwing actual history in the mix is really something special. Lucky you and Billy!
It is definitely amazing that you were able to get those plans for the house. They will make your life and the craftsmen you have helping you with your journey of restoring the chateau so much easier.
I was so excited when I saw those original drawings. Just a tip from an old draftsman (draughtsman): unfold all the drawings (carefully) and lay the small ones flat between sheets of heavy acid-free stock. The larger ones (larger than 11 x 17) should be rolled and stored in tubes. Otherwise, they will deteriorate along the fold lines and you'll lose them. Please don't even think of ironing them. Proper archival storage never hurts; then if you decide to mount and frame them at some time, they'll be ready to work with.
What an exciting piece of archive you got there. Those drawing are going to be so cool when converted to wood. I believe that Chestnut also has anti-insect properties that made it quite popular in kitchens.
The Convent kitchen is just stunning. How lucky 🍀 you were to be gifted the original plans for the Chateau kitchen. I love how Michael devours and reinterprets them. Again, I know the expense is huge, but Pethericks do things right, and do them for the long term. These historic buildings are fortunate to be in their care. The Chateau kitchen has such low ceilings. I’m hoping things can be rigged so it’s just as bright and welcoming as Billy did in the Convent. Michael, you’re the color genius. Surprised the decorative iron columns were going to be so dark. Maybe with the white tiled walls, and whatever you select for paint and flooring will be enough to keep it bright? 😊
Wow, how incredible that you found those drawings! Love how the community around you is so willing to give back anything that is related to the Chateau and to the Convent. Excellent!
Loved seeing the original plans. You are so fortunate to have so many of them, plus seeing the tops of the kitchen columns emerging from the rust is lovely...so decorative! Keep up the fine work!
Having the original plans must be so delightful! I'm wondering if they should be stored unfolded. The creases will begin to wear and cause tears eventually. Also, once you'd scanned them you can get them mounted and framed behind UV glass to display somewhere in the chateau. Being an artist myself I truly appreciate Michael's take on things!
Michael is so informative I thought at my age I wouldn't learn anything new how wrong was I , love these bloggs restoration is not for faint hearted you all make it look easy ❤xx
The Convent kitchen is looking fantastic Billy as is the music you choose for the background of the videos. I like the pattern you made with the lawnmower too! Michael, you are a true artist! I think it's great that you received the plans and are planning on using them as a guide to rebuild. The Petherick Brothers certainly are cracking on!!!! Love it!
The Chateau kitchen is so very Unique it is so interesting to see the progress ! Michael you’re doing a fabulous job and following through !The History is Amazing !
Such wonderful ideas for the kitchen!! A suggestion for your original plans. Open them and lay them flat between archival paper. Then, store them flat in a large archival box. Folding them as they have been folded will create weak points, and eventually, they will tear at those folds.
I love how you’re using the original plans and adequate them to the current needs of the kitchen. It’s definitely gonna keep its style as when built. Btw the olive tree looks amazing in the other kitchen.
I love your dedication to the historical details and incorporating them into the restoration. It takes time and care, and all of you are doing a stellar job! Keep the videos coming!

It would be even better to have that carpenter rebuild them.
Imagine how sentimental it would be for him!!!
@@BradleyFordAusthat's what I was thinking!

Not only do I love watching all the projects being done, but I also enjoy hearing the music chosen for each video.
Totally agree!
I think Alex has influenced Billy edits, they have improved so much.
Someone likes slide / bottleneck guitar that's for certain 😉
I agree. I sometimes replay the video while I’m working just to listen to the music.
Yes the music chosen for each vlog is so appropriate
It is wonderful that someone saved the original plans! It's heartwarming to see your family honor the history of both the chateau and the convent.
Michael…….. great plans! Love following your thought process!
I agree. It’s great to have an Artist in the family … one with a peaceful soul. A Joy to hear and see💕
Great vlog guys. Thank goodness someone knew the value of those plans and kept them. Stay well.
Ah dear Michael, I do so enjoy your World of Knowledge. You are a treasure ❤️❤️🇨🇦
Great video gentlemen

I just learned what a needle scaler is today from another RUclipsr The 2nd Empire Strikes Back. He is restoring his Victorian home in St. Louis, Missouri.
A drill with a wire brush probably would work as well as that hammer and chisel.

May I suggest you go back to the start of Michael’s channel. He gave tours of the chateau 😊
@@chriswilford3576 Will do - thx!
Michael, those plans were saved for a future visionary like you. So very exciting to have them. Thank you for sharing them with us.

Dear Michael, What a joy to have the original Chateau plans. The transformation journey just gets better. Thank you for sharing. Hugs💞
I am so so Happy to have Micheal back... he is so talented and inspirational.
Kitchen is looking great. It's so nice of that company to bring the diagrams of all wood things they made in the château. Thats a real treasure!
I had a tour in the huge regional achives and they basically said, always save paper with paper. Awesome find!
yes, paper goes with paper; fabric goes with fabric and metal goes with metal. Never mix them. Never clean swords.
Fantastic! That paper is so thin, but was well taken care of, so glad you were offered them. Remarkable. Quite a lot in that kitchen.
Bravo Michael, you have given us all a great explanation of the kitchen rebuild.👏🙏🥂
I love listening to Micheal explain everything! Passion for the original comes through. It’s so exciting! Can’t wait to see how it all comes out!
Brilliant! All of it. The tiles, the worktops, the chateau kitchen. Fantastic. 2 kitchens to be proud of. 😃
Michael seeing these floor plans and your enthusiasm for the the history of the chateau is so very cool 😎 and the desire to bring it back my hats off to you from Texas
Original carpentry plans? Fantastic and a phenomenal gift from the original carpenter's family.
Kudos to the carpenter who brought them to you today! What a helpful gift. Looking forward to seeing he kitchen in remake.

The convent kitchen shines like a diamond.
Please straighten out your plans and store them flat. Those folds will eventually give out and shred. The plans are amazing. Loved the backsplash.
One of the convent furniture has wide ,narrow depth drawers would be ideal to store plans flat
I am really enjoying Michael’s explanations of everything. The more he explains details the more animated he becomes. Thank you for your interesting details!😊
WOW. Those plans are amazing. Im so glad they kept them and were able to give them to you.
The olive tree at the convent kitchen is settling in well so far. And the kitchen is on its way at Chateau those plans are gold! Wow!
When Billy was on the fence about it, it made me doubt it a bit. I think it's "growing" on me. I like it there! Maybe that's why he captured the shot that way, to just take another look.
Enjoyed seeing the old paper plans and explanations.
How nice you have the plans so it can be built to its original design it will look fab. Thankyou Michael for showing and explaining them to us😘
Having some of those plans framed in there would be amazing.

Tons of respect for the gang for the way they treat both renovations

Such nice neighbors! Beautiful progress!
Having the plans and you showing us is great ,it will be a step back in time when your done.
What an exciting piece of archive you got there. Those drawing are going to be so cool when converted to wood.
I believe that Chestnut also has anti-insect properties that made it quite popular in kitchens.
I really admire the vision and passion of Michael. The art of creations is wonderful.
I absolutely love your music choices and editing lately, Billy!
The backsplash looks beautiful!!❤
It's going to be yet another grand kitchen. Can't wait to see its transformation evolve. 🎉🎊👏👏👏👏
That's marvellous. Having the plans is fab 🎉😊 it's going to be amazing xx
So glad you have most of the plans
Idk how you manage to do the daily videos, but thank you!
Having those plans is so amazing! I hope they’ll be framed and put on a wall?

Very interesting and so lucky to have acquired the blue prints 🤗
Loving the Billy Michael Duo going on! And being at the Chateau. You are both such talented guys.
Loved seeing the original plans. You are so fortunate to have so many of them, plus seeing the tops of the kitchen columns emerging from the rust is lovely...so decorative! Keep up the fine work!

So amazing that you obtained those plans! What a great addition to the renovations. Having so much fun following!
The detail in the kitchen ceiling as amazing. This kitchen is stunning before it's poshed up.
We know about Monty the pig and bunny. Whatever happened to the magpie?
I wonder that too from time to time
Michael is so informative I thought at my age I wouldn't learn anything new how wrong was I , love these bloggs restoration is not for faint hearted you all make it look easy ❤xx
Michael that was so interesting & fascinating seeing all the plans. It was great you talked us through them. Thank you ❤
Loving having Michael back in the videos and loving the attention to detail of the kitchen renovation ❤️
Wow, Michael! Having those plans is priceless! I am really enjoying following all the progress in both the château and the convent! Crack on!!
One more thing, Michael is just so likable on camera. I'm so glad you're featuring him so much, Billy. What a treasure he is.
How amazing is this and exciting , love to see it all come back again like it was
A pneumatic scaler would likely have made work much easier for removing the unstable surface rust.
So wonderful having the time plans for the kitchen and other parts of the house. Such an important part of the château’s history.
The Convent kitchen is looking fantastic Billy as is the music you choose for the background of the videos. I like the pattern you made with the lawnmower too! Michael, you are a true artist! I think it's great that you received the plans and are planning on using them as a guide to rebuild. The Petherick Brothers certainly are cracking on!!!! Love it!
The designs are a wonderful gift from the past and the paint colour in the basement was an amazing historical match Michael.
To speed up the rust removal use what is called a descaler it is used to remove scale from weld
This is very exciting. I can't wait to see the kitchen rebuild process and the end result.
The scanned and hi-res beautifully framed plans would look amazing around the finished kitchen.
Thanks Michael 🇨🇦
A needle scaler would help get larger chunks of rust. It runsoff a air compressor would make quick work
Well done to you all for your restoration work of the chateau and convent
I really enjoyed the music Billy selects for the videos.
Now the plans really really bring on the smile!
Amazing,how well these sketches have been preserved
Michael is just brilliant. I love his commentary and enthusiasm.
