[@chantalpinsonneault1299]

What a team!!! Florian's filming, Sean's skills & Michael's vision, quick learning and attention to every detail make for the most beautiful gardener's cottage. It truly is a work of art.

Your cottage is located in the coziest spot at the Chateau and is absolutely charming - as is your self deprecating sense of humor. 😊 Your vlogs are worth the wait.

[@carolehanrahan]

A stickler for detail is exactly who I would want to be working on my home no matter what the job is. It looks lovely and so charming and cozy too.

[@carolinegooder7091]

I love to see all of your art work; the vlogs just themselves, your prints, paintings, and now wood working. My father loved small wood projects. Stuff around the house, toys for the grandchildren that didn't need batteries and a Wendy house in a tree with electricity, carpet and wallpaper for his daughters. LOL I loved to just watch him. He didn't want help. It was his time to relax.😘😘😘

[@suemccoy7533]

Michael, so wonderful to have you back on with more videos. Great to see Sean as well. Everything is looking beautiful so far.

Hi Michael and Sean, Mo. So happy to see back, appreciate your effort to post this video. Love the introduction music Michael. Also the capentry details are amazing. Sean is an excellent teacher.

Stunning carpentry Michael, well done 👏 great filming by your lovely friend and love how he captured your mum watching you so proudly. You could see it in her eyes. Just beautiful x

[@theman5565]

Hello again from Normandy. Michael it's good to have you back. I enjoyed watching you through the covid crisis and was sorry to see you disappear for so long, yet I must say I understand that it must not be easy to do all you have to do and keep your vlog going. Hopefully you will be posting more regularly again. What is now the plan for your brother's chateau? Are they not planning to continue there? I'm looking forward to the next video when things should be pretty much finished at your cottage. I am really impressed by your abilities and the way you stepped up and did a lot of the finishing touches yourself. Your dad is amazing too and you are so fortunate to have that closeness. He's quite the handyman! My best wishes to you all. Paul

[@y.lelivelt2619]

Michael and Sean together working,Wow, amazing you two. Both have skills and together it makes a great transformation job.

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

Hey, Michael Budo, here from a small channel called @French farmhouse diaries Tracy and I just watched your latest video a couple of minutes ago as we do regally watch your vids when you post them up thanks for sharing i was just saying to Tracy i should message Michael as he is getting windows like ours made for his cottage, and he should pop over to our channel to see the oak box sash windows i made the traditional way for our farmhouse there also finished in oak on the inside as well, you will get an idea of what yours will look like hope this helps all the best Budo & Tracy 🍺🤠👍

[@NatTayHill]

This video was beautifully done. So professional.

[@tiffany-sheriwageman.3702]

Michael your cottage comes out of a picturesque location and the way that you shot the whole video was so sweet! Sean is a great asset to the entire family as he helps along and makes the woodwork easier. Michael I handed to you taking on a new task that's uncomfortable and that you want to learn that new task that inspirational for other people.

Opening credits!! Love it! 🥰 It's nice to see Sean back working with the boys, too.

Your editing skills are second to none!
