Oh! To be able to go “hunting” in French a brocante ! So fun to see everyone together !

[@granamiere]

Here I am in Los Angeles, patiently waiting for a concrete pour in France!

[@keagleeagle821]

Wish to see Michael more often

[@ourfloridagarden4191]

I just love how everyone has come to help on this project over the months.

[@VintageBoutiqueCali]

Yes, it’s a huge project … and very nice to see!

[@dianetipton6040]

You are right, it is so fun to see people we know from other channels pop up on one of the blogs together. It makes me feel as if we are part of one big, friendly neighborhood.

[@brittawrolson5936]

Agree with you wholeheartedly! Seems everyone we watch has been dropping in to have a look and to be put to work. Community is wonderful!

[@brittawrolson5936]

Brocanting is so much fun! Today’s shop was loaded with gorgeous pieces, even though much of it was high priced!

[@stephaniesnape6787]

Lovely to see Anna as well today 🎉

[@costrow3100]

Billy and Ed need their own videos - since they have an easier rapport between themselves than by themselves. They both are skilled at reconstruction and eyeing and visualization. It’s something that takes lots of practice and a knack for reconfiguring. I also like the men with their spouses and families. Good to see Michael enjoying life.

[@JuneHott]

I really like Edd and Anna. Love seeing the genuine respect and liking you guys have for each other. Beautiful pieces of furniture and so glad the one in the chapel will stay in tack. Excited to see how the concrete people handle the big pour and the finished results.

[@elizabethmunroe3676]

Always fun to visit a brocante with Edd and Anna. I'm glad she got to work her negotiation magic on Michael's lovely items.

[@lucykitty6492]

I have never hear this word-brocante. In the US, we would call it an antique shop or second hand store.

[@monalingan9523]

I could wander for hours in that antique shop. That cabinet you bought is magnificent!

[@luciaroslingshaw2112]

I always love it when Micheal is invlolved.... and love Ed and Anna, too.

[@robsondog01]

Think we all just miss Michael, having said that would rather he keep away from nasty comments.

[@ThePethericks]

@@robsondog01 no nasty comments on this channel i just block them.

[@melissamoore1648]

What happened?

[@Cate7451]

@@melissamoore1648 he has a stalker, don’t we all. Part of you tube and part of life really. Love to you Michael.

[@earthmama8384]

Hello, Billy, Michael, Edd, and Anna. It’s lovely to see you together, happy, and smiling. So glad to see Michael as we miss seeing him when he’s away for long periods. The cabinets are gorgeous.

[@ediesharpe7262]

So great to Michael and looking good. We miss him.

[@denisenall1179]

Glad to see Michael out and about and Ed and Anna the beautiful couple glad they joined you brocante and getting a little extra help

[@melissahalbert9455]

love seeing Ed and Anna and Michael brocanting with you, Billy. The ladder is perfect.

[@bettyebell2835]

Nice brocanting with such great friends. Glad you brought the ladder home where it needs to be. A fun video, Billy. Thank you. 💕💞💕

[@mavep2855]

Great to see Michael, Edd and Anna! Good luck tomorrow with the big pour.🙏❤️

[@tdhale4232]

When I go on these trips with you, I get to involved and so excited at what I’m seeing, I almost say, “Billy, wait a min. look at this?” Or, “Billy, you’re walking to fast, I see something I might need.” lol I love antique shops

[@lphelan100]

HELLO Michael...so good to see him, as well as Edd and Anna. Love seeing you all together. What a fun trip to the brocante. Good luck tomorrow.

[@mannyortiz4814]

Billy, Michael, Edd and Anna my loves. I enjoyed very much going through the antique shop. I love the items Michael bought for his apartment. The ladder fits perfectly. Fun being with you guys. Tomorrow is a big day. Well take care my loves. Stay safe 🍺🍺🍺🍺🕊🙏🌈🌞❤️🎈😇👍🇺🇸🌹

[@louisegatti9262]

That was fun going to the Brocant with Edd and Anna. And Michael got some neat stuff too. Glad you got your ladder. Those other pieces sure looked beautiful, I think they will be sitting there till you come back and buy them for the Convent.

[@stephaniegaromon3244]

Billy and Ed have really good conversations together. It’s nice when you’re both together. Loved seeing Michael and his purchases. I can’t wait to see his new windows installed and his completed bedroom. Billy you have good friends. xx

[@louiselewis5061]

Loved the brocante shopping. Those bank cabinets are gorgeous. So nice to see Edd and Anna, too.

[@KonstantinChikov]

Man I'm loving the daily content. Every time I get home from work and there is a fresh video to watch.

[@time4clocks]

That is an amazing shop!! It looks like they have absolutely everything in there!😸

[@carolesmith6620]

What a lovely day out with Anna,Ed and Michael who got himself some begin's. And you got your ladder to complete your unit which is beautiful, great seeing you all together 💕🌼🤗

[@BernardAguiar]

I have a feeling Billy is going to go back and purchase those large units.

[@marydavis8103]

Happy to see Anna and good to see Michael laughing and well. Of course good to see you Billy as well as Edd

[@trishpurden7131]

Morning Billy, Ed, Anna and Michael…… good to see you all. Love the way you all get together. Cheers Trish NZ

[@paulinedixon3490]

It was good to see ED ANNA and Michael with Billy at the Brocant. Some beautiful things on sale.

[@snooks5624]

Fabulous piece of furniture! Sure puts the size of things in perspective. Great Day everyone :)

[@icuinthelight]

Billie! Please let Micheal know we miss his videos! Hope he uploads one soon!

[@annep.3067]

I love Anna, Edd and Michael. Glad to see them on your videos. Edd is just hilarious.

[@tedtimmis8135]

And Anna is a real beauty.

[@milkweeddreams8828]

The ladder is perfect to reach those top cabinets...great fun with great friends...!

[@carolyn279]

It’s always fun to see chateau friends get together! And, it’s always a treat to see Michael!

[@ginanoble7203]

Anna such a gem ,especially with encouragement for Micheal and in negotiating mode oh I love this channel ,it is an addiction

[@mradford10]

Billy - only one more sleep and the big pour is on! Can’t wait. Best part of my Australian morning coffee is watching your daily video from France (followed by Sean’s). Can’t wait to see how the concrete goes mate. Crack on!

[@jomcgee6094]

Who could ever say no to Anna, she is such a beautiful sweet soul. Great bargains Michael!❤

[@hawkoliver]

Michael! Where have you been! I was worried about you ❤❤

[@busterdee8228]

Preserving France one impulse at a time. I like antiques but get overwhelmed easily (unable to combine bits). It's nice to see you have the knack.

[@kathystivers3928]

That giant cabinet you cannot customize… that will ruin it! The ladder is so amazing. Thank you Ed for talking him out of customizing the cupboards! I thought I was going to have to fly to France to stop you! That antique shop was simply amazing! Thank you for taking us with you. I hope those amazing book shelves find their way into the convent. I look forward to coming home after work to see what’s next! Thank you for allowing us to watch this process! ❤❤❤

[@deborahmarion9038]

Oh yes! Antique shopping with some of my favorite people. 😊 Anna is so delightful! What a fun day!

[@helenstella2666]

Glad you got your ladder Billy .. Ed was getting seriously tempted 😏 such a great Brocante. Happy shopping for Michael too 👍😊

[@JennyA1961]

All that furniture in the shop. I could spend all day in there just admiring everything. Thank you for taking us along. ❤🐨

[@erbie-wan521]

Love seeing Ed and Anna.

[@Randy8923]

Enjoyed. I am still in love with the huge cabinet! If I lived in France with all the beautiful antiques I am sure I would become a furniture hoarder {lol}. I really like the shop you all visited. So exciting all thats happening. Blessings.

[@betsybattles2696]

Ed is so cool! I like his sense of humor.

[@heatherread6058]

Loving the new cabinets and what a delight to see Michael, Ed and Anna and if course Billy. I don't think Michael realises how much people care about him and miss his vlogs and his happy, smiley face but glad to see him and hope he is well. Love from South Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️

[@kimberlyallen6296]

Glad to hear more information about the history of the giant wall unit being from The Bank. Excellent craftsmanship. Nice seeing Ann Ex & Michael. I enjoy seeing the Antique shops in France that shop has a grea variety of quality items. Happy Michael found some nice things there for his Cottage. Good luck tomorrow on the concrete pour in the Convent Kitchen Billy!

[@WhatfaceRoberts]

Oh, those shelves! I'm so glad you decided not to cut them up, Billy. Such a beautiful piece of furniture, in such marvelous shape, it would be a sin abd a shame to cut it. The room off the kitchen is the perfect spot! On the top level you could put the things you don't use as often: holiday utensils, light but large dishes, etc., with your heavy stuff on the bottom to keep the balance (and it's easier and safer to keep them closer to the ground!). I wish I could go to that shop with you; I keep seeing so many lovely things...*sigh*. And I'd buy something lovely that I have no place for! 😂 Can't wait for the pour, all the hard work everyone put into the kitchen will be worth it to finally have the concrete/cement (I forgot which you're using) floor down, the heating system ready to hook up, and the green light to finish up the kitchen! Those tiles you got for the floor will look so inviting when they're down. See you tomorrow!

[@elisabethhopson5639]

The brocante was filled with lots of lovely things. I could spend a fortune in there (if I had a fortune). Good luck with the concrete pour tomorrow. 🤞

[@lizstevenson7801]

The wooden cabinets will be beautuful to store pots, pans and platters next to the kitchen, such a magnificent piece of furniture. 💕🇦🇺

[@sandralindberg8548]

Wonderful to see you all together!

[@sandramullis5089]

Lovely to see Michael again, when can we see his up date up his cottage, hes been very quiet,

[@SweetOne.]

ROFL "I have a tissue". Anna for the win! Michael is looking handsome as ever. Did Anna get him in front of the camera 2 days in a row? Her bargaining skills are exceptional! It must be a blast with you, Edd and Ryan all together.. it would make a good video on Ryan's Bantermime (sp?)

[@emilianozapata175]

The skateboard in the background of the shop as they left, was the exact same as my first skateboard in the 80s. I got it for Christmas when I was 5 years old. I just had an amazing nostalgia hit when I saw the 🦅

[@andy2950]

I loved the antique centre. I could spend thousands in seconds!! 😳😆

[@christinegott3699]

Michael…all my teaspoons have disappeared!!!!! Billy’s response, it wasn’t me…hilarious 😂😂😂

[@kerihaywood924]

Those antiques are so well priced 😭 I wish I could buy all the things!!

[@supremlyfoxylass]

Great to see Ed and Anna and Michael all together. Bet you had loads of funny at the antique shop. Great day Billy and gorgeous wall of cabinets.❤

[@juliatownsend2324]

Old Bank furniture is lovely. They never scrimped on quality.. I remember when a bank was moving their cupboards etc were made of mahogany. Thankfully someone had a lot of the wood , it was going to be scrapped. There was a lot of beautiful things in that braconte. Xx

[@toddmurphy523]

I think you should purchase more of the large cabinets you saw today. These are oversized and would cost a fortune to have cabinets, that size, custom made. The way they are made looks like they could stand side by side as a pair, or stand alone. I am sure you could find many places for them to work in the convent.

[@sheiladickerson5198]

Good to see all the gang together!❤️

[@pinkelephants1421]

That beautiful piece of furniture would make an AMAZING linen store for the Convent given the enormous number of bedrooms to cater for.

[@lindac5468]

Love going for “a root” it is fun of the day!

[@katharinatrub1338]

Yees, the Ladder 'Adds' to your furniture, simply because it gives Sens to the Toprow of the cupboards. Important it was to put this big furniture together because, only this way you can imagine where it should go afterwards. In this Video Billy is filming and the others are doing the work, but Hey, why not, just for once ? but would have loved to watch Anna negotiate !! ; ))

[@madonnadillon5545]

😊🌠💕💞🇨🇦💖👌🌹so nice to see edd and Anna,and of courses Micheal..love love the cabinets

[@bluemarine9335]

Hope to see a video from Michael soon. 🥰

[@marshabentley5276]

You don’t need all those big glass top cabinets in the kitchen or it will look like a Brocante showroom!

[@donnasteinberg1398]

Fantastic seeing you all together again! The cabinets are fabulous and Im sure you will place them perfectly, Happy that Michael is finding the last bits and bobs for his cottage. He is acting so shy?! We still love him as well as all the Pethricks. Thanks for sharing, and crack on!

[@youknowme8578]

As much as I would like to say, here across the pond have antiques.. European antiques are real antiques. Although, along the way at one time in history, we may have borrowed a few here and there. 😜 What a beautiful place to shop. Thank you for bringing us along with you on this trip.

[@billgolcher2537]

Can't wait to see the concrete poured. that should be a huge relief when that's done take care

[@suzanconklin8415]

It was so nice to see Michael! I absolutely love Ed and Anna, what good friends you have Billy. I think your library ladder is missing its wheels and it’s maybe a bit to tall, they don’t usually have that much of a slant and distance from the shelves. I have two in my library (not near as large as the room yours is in) at home and they are both on wheels, that makes it less likely that the unit it’s attached to will get banged up. They just glide from side to side without having to be lifted off and on. You have exquisite taste and a great talent.

[@dotlaing1085]

All the Bank furniture is stunning… Good luck with the concrete pour tomorrow … thanks for todays vid…Dottie x

[@tinacarrol6702]

Looking Forward To Tomorrow Billy. Great Vlog. Xx 😊👍

[@2times2is4]

Smart to assemble it. Don't have to worry about pieces getting warped from storage.

[@leighnisbett9691]

Billy the cabinets that you think is from the bank could be used as storage for linens ,plates and special events decorations including sliver wear .

[@thoml1846]

Billy, every time your in the chapel I think back to the video you made when you were discussing the chapel balcony and the room where the stairs were to access it. The stairs you looked at were metal but it probably would have had a wooden spiral staircase, and the wall on the upper floor would have gone around the opening to prevent someone from falling down the stairs.

[@gloriacoffey4651]

Fun shopping with the family and friends 😃👋

[@ToGodBeTheGlory0803]

Hello Billy and Friends! Just a quick post from South Dakota USA to say "Thank You"! I look forward to watching each and every day!! Continued Blessings For you All! "Crack On!" 🙏❤️🙏💪 -tgr

Wow two days of seeing Michael ... YouHou it's Christmas on the chanel ! Seriously, it was nice to see you all brocanting !❤

[@abigailgerlach5443]

I'm so sad/glad I wasn't shopping with you. I spotted several nice things I'd have been glad to take home with me. The shipping costs would have been a real stinker, but such beautiful woodwork!

[@sallydurisseau2254]

That shop had me drooling!!! So much fun! Great to see Ed, Anna and Michael! Can’t wait for the “GREAT POUR” tomorrow!! So exciting! Crack on!!

[@SpadeCaller]

Very jealous. Brilliant piece of furniture.

[@lisaakinlabi]

OMG YES love the cabinets with the glass doors! One on either side of the fireplace and across the room on either side for a sitting area and a dinning area! The price is fabulous! UGH I could never live in France I would want everything! I need to win a lottery first though. I love the one with locking drawers as well! Michael got some nice things with Anna the negotiator! LOL 😂 I just love Edd and Anna - such a sweet and kind couple.

[@sixtenjohansson4246]

OMG, I love all that bank furniture so much! 😍 Thanks for bringing us.

[@suring2000]

Wow!! Those pieces from the bank as beautiful! Would be great if you could incorporate more of those pieces into the convent.. love when you take us shopping with you😀

[@elizabethmckelvie5418]

Yes it’s quarter sawn oak…but the marks that Michael pointed out are called “ Medullary Rays”.. me being an antique dealer in Glasgow, Scotland for 26 years specialising in all aspects of the Arts and Crafts movement….oak being the wood of choice😊 I can see you buying more from that brocante…. It’s a fantastic shop

[@ritajohnson5594]

Would love to get those bank cabinets but shipping would be expensive Love shopping with all of you

[@sarahburton3110]

Amazing progress Billy 😊

[@blakehahn-atlantaga8510]

The brocante had beautiful pieces! Your cabinet is stunning!

[@kevinhope7409]

No way that pipework reached 5bar with so little effort and a pump cylinder that big, I would double check that pressure gauge. Best wishes love the vids

[@Ex-patKiwi]

Those glassed front cabinets would look great in the kitchen, they’re the right scale and will keep the kitchen bright where as the other cabinet wouldn’t. The utility area would be a better place for them. What an awesome find. Well done, Anna, your negotiator skills are to be admired. I wish I had you in my back pocket. Safe trip home to Anna and Edd.

[@thechatelaine]

Looks great those wall cabinets you bought!!

[@CuriousCalligrapher]

I want all the tall cabinets and the price is amazing!!

[@gingerschatshow]

Hi Billy and Crew- I love the ladder - it is practically made for that cabinet. :D Perfect fit. Looking forward to the pour too- I don't think the concrete will smash the heated floor piping all that much either. Looking forward to the finished kitchen :D

Yay Anna was there to love Anna 💓 love the ladder can not wait for Tom
