I take my hat off to you Mr Petherick senior for being there for the kids on this project. At 80 you are blessed to be able to do what you do.

Your dad is a trooper. "They won't let me retire." Best line in the whole video. Seriously though is so nice to see that he gets in there up to his elbows in your projects. On another note Gwen blew me away with her observation of the library. You kiddo have married a very wonderfully supportive woman, even though at times it may be hard to see. Just loved her answer about both of your projects in the Convent. Don't you ever take it for granted. Your dad's got 20 yrs on me, but we work the same. Glad you have such a supportive family.

[@beckysimeone4882]

Billy and Gwen aren't married. Gwen actually owns everything so Billy's work is an act of faith in their relationship.

[@Kathern-pf8ib]

Your father reminds me of my father, who pretty much worked until he was 84 years old when he died. He raised 10 children was a loving father and husband, and instilled in his children the same value of hard work. Your father was incredible enough of a man to teach you those same principles, and I am sure that you are as proud of him as he is of you. Well done to both you and your father.

[@denisemarle4141]

Same here, my dad passed away at 82, after retiring at 65, he almost went straight back to work... after a rival company came calling, unable to find someone with his specialised knowledge of their equipment, he went from 2 days to full time in the blink of an eye. And he loved it, it was a family owned company that treated him as a member, it made him feel useful and needed, he was almost indispensable to them really, downside for my mum.. there was not much time for work around the house... without tobacco, he would have had another 20 years. Yes, Mick P is strong of character and a worker, it's fantastic to have all these memories recorded for the generation of Pethericks! 🦘

[@siameseire]

Mick's beautiful smile. 😊

[@jennifercoughtrie4858]

Mick must enjoy that wonderful feeling of still being an amazing resource to both an incredible project and his family as a whole. At 72 I still work albeit 2 days a week but it gives me a sense of purpose . The older generation still has so much to give. Mick is fortunate to be able to physically work still. The secret to staying forever young! 😊

[@gailpacolt4353]

No retiring, Mick! You're the passive comic relief❣️

[@LarcR]

Gorgeous doors! Paddy's work is obviously first class in every respect. Probably nobody alive now will ever see those doors reach the point they need replacing.

Really enjoyed this video. I prefer no music. I like to hear all the noises of rocks falling and equipment drilling, hammering and whatever you or others want to say.

I thought i was the only one that enjoyed the ASMR of small rocks and dirt falling, hitting metal and wood as it does. Idk why I like that sound so much. 😂

I agree, I like to hear all the noise, but once in a while I like the classical music 😊❤

[@siameseire]

Thanks, Paddy. Beautiful.

[@MaryDalton64]

Love seeing the Mick cam today. Thank you, Alex! Yanis definitely deserves to take a nice weekend holiday with friends. He has certainly earned it! Mick, I agree with everyone about how wonderful it is to see you still working along side the "boys." My own father attempted retirement 3 times before it stuck. He just couldn't stand being idle. He had worked hard his entire life and after a few months of sitting around the house watching tv and doing nothing, he would get bored and head out to the workshop to "tinker around" with something or other and the next thing we knew, he was back to running his own business again lol.

[@christydavis6114]

[@MsLinda165]

It's not nice to speak ill of the dead, and so I won't talk about my father. Just imagine someone who is the complete opposite of Mick. That's why I'm glued to this channel. I keep thinking, how many people have a dad like this? I'm amazed that people like this exist in the world, and so I'm happy I found this channel.

[@cathyriley5735]

Really like the explanations as you go. Not too much talking but really understand what you are doing. Reason you can remove pipes and rocks and how you will make sure it is strong when you are done. Amazing how Dad is able to lift big pipes and cement chunks!

Great “spot on” work today! Your dad, Billy, is an awesome man! It was cute when you got him to smile at your joke! He is a master at so many things, and enjoys sharing his hard earned knowledge with each of you. Alexis is doing a fantastic job filming! I hope Yanis has a great time on his weekend break! He has earned it! Love from Pennsylvania, USA 💕🌷🐻

[@theCPRgals]

Billy, I guess you did not hear us yelling at you to wrap the end before you took it up. We tried ... Everything is coming along beautifully! I bet you are so glad Alex if doing the filming again so you can just to the work.

[@herbertvasold8954]

Billy, you could use some scrap lumber and make a step on the railing. Just put some blocking on the bottom so it can't fall off!

[@dalebeach7337]

Yes, a great idea. I always cringe when you are balancing on those railings with a piece of equipment or lumber in your hands and the lift wobbling like mad!

If you get into the habit of routinely using a toolbelt Billy, you'll never want to go without. I bought one from a carboot sale for 50p, mended it with fishing line & curved needle as some of the stitching had failed, and use it for gardening. It's brill, and I never have to wonder where x,y,z is in the shrubbery.

Rather than wrapping the end of the wood in plastic, it would be far better to paint it with a bitumenous paint. Wrapping it could trap moisture whereas paint will more effectively seal it.

[@stew8584]

When you drilled the hole in the I-beam ,I kept trying to tell you Billy Billy you need to wrap the end, and you wouldn't listen ! then you screwed it in and I'm still saying You need to wrap it Billy. And then finely you heard me and said I forgot to wrap it, and this is why you don't let your don't Dad retire.

[@annstroud2168]

I may have missed something but I thought wood and concrete need to be protected so condensation doesn’t eventually cause wood to rot.

Paddy does very fine, quality work, the doors are beautiful. I’m happy Yanis is taking a well deserved vacation. Billy, your tool belt dilemmas were quite funny, but once you learn where everything goes, as you said they are quite handy. Alex, you are amazing.

Mick works as hard as anyone. Always busy and doing everything he can to help out. He is a fountain of knowledge.

[@RenegadeADV]

I grew up doing electrical work with my old man, and because of this have done a lot of demolition, one of the tricks I picked up along the way is that when you have to cut pipes close to a wall like that you can take a grinder with a wafer disc and cut down the length of your sawsall blades to be just long enough that you can get the guard against the pipe and not be ramming the blade into the wall, this makes for a more precise cut. As well splitting a piece of PVC pipe to go over the water pipe to protect from knicking it as you come through and securing it with a couple of zip ties can save you a lot of headaches and worry. On that note the doors look absolutely beautiful.

I hope Yanis is having a great weekend off. Mick, you are such an inspiration to us. To be working at 80, with your sons, must be so satisfying and meaningful. I am sure many of us will learn from your example and keep going as long as possible. The convent is clearly going to love this library. Everything is fitting so well. Paddy's doors look wonderful, even before they are fitted. The fact that the wood has come from an old oak tree in Mayenne makes them even more special. I just hope we get some interesting glass panels to finish them off. Thanks Billy, Mick, Alex and Layla, another superb video. 😀

[@fiberotter]

Mick is an absolute treasure. I think working on the convent is perfect for him. I can't see him retiring completely, so it gives him a project. And his expertise has been priceless. I had a unit rather like the Crafuel. It would be a frig or a warmer. It was priceless when we moved to a different town and the mover couldn't get to the house because a tropical storm had made a mess of the road. We plugged in the cooler and it was our frig for almost a week.
