They make some battery powered candles with a remote you could use in the chandelier. Lit up would be amazing.

[@DeborahScotts153]

Yes, they would be beautiful!

[@christinegott3699]

Excellent idea.

[@natanyawait6072]

Fantastic idea ❤

[@lylaflur]

I thought the same thing!!

[@whatsupdoc1075]

I use them on my dining table. They are great. I have a remote to light them up. Makes a nice glow and no wax to clean up later! ❤

[@deborahpalm7657]

I just had to look up the translation of Fide Sed Cui Vide that was carved on the magnificent bed frame in the new red room. It is, "Trust, But Be Careful of Whom You Trust". Love it! Especially carved on the headboard of a bed!

[@elizabethbesco4758]

What a wonderful bit of information. TY so much!

[@carolwest6095]

Rick is a great person. I'm happy he is part of your team. Yannis, you have plenty of fans now. Rick needs to feel the love, too.

[@babymammoth6254]

Rick is awesome. He’s a genuinely nice guy

[@suemills9045]

Yanis with helmet on made me chuckle . Beautiful bed x

[@ptqt25sussex5]

Same here

[@jamesbaker429]

Happy birthday Mr Petherick senior,a very active 80 with a very respectful family,a long happy journey together.

[@craftycalley]

Yannis looking like he’s enjoying himself. What a great guy.

[@mrsbingh]

That moment with Janis sporting the "helmet??" was a highlight. 😅

[@malina1239]

@@mrsbinghhe looked like a true Roman soldier 😊 And he is soldiering on, that’s for sure !!!

[@barbarahermann5679]

I am simply in awe of your dad’s stamina. 80 years young and still so active. ❤ happy birthday to him!

[@MK-Farm-Michigan]

Micheal, you're right. That bed was made for that room. The light highlights the headboard.

[@Carolbearce]

I love Yanis’ sense of humor! Oh my, that bed frame is absolutely gorgeous!!

[@user-wd4wy8og8t]

Loved the music. Such a beautiful place. Been watching for a long time. Can't believe your Dad is 80. Come on. He has taught both boys so much.

[@TRoth858]

I know they've spent many an hr shoveling up rubble, dirt, etc, but seeing these burly gents doing normal household cleaning is awesome too. What sweet a family, and friends that have become family. Doing this for Mick, an energetic ol' dad. I'm sure this will be a birthday to remember! ❤

[@user-ew7vm8cy2s]

Some light relief from all the dust I’m sure. The Château will look beautiful, a fitting tribute to your dad. Rick, enjoy your time away, Yannis and Michael. Well done and I see dad in the background as well working hard. Love the music, all hands on deck there, even your young son looking so serious with what he’s doing. Thank you Billy as always for the music and for the videos I do enjoy them.👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@KimIverson-bc1lu]

Music makes me so happy! Michael, Rick, Janis, Dad all make me happy! I love seeing the newly done room furnished.

[@juliaembery4459]

Wishing Mr Petherick a very Happy 80th Birthday. Hope has had a wonderful time with his wonderful family 🎉🎉

[@mavep2855]

Great to see the chateau getting spruced up for Mick’s impending 80th birthday celebrations. A much needed change of pace for the crew. Crack on gentlemen!🙏❤️

[@user-yr8bk9dr5o]

Yanis. That helmet is you all the way. ..lol... you're so comical. What a joy to have around.

[@nicolinavincelli9369]

At beginning I love the way the camera zooms in. Everyone is working hard. Michael is always smiling. Beautiful headboard, I love it. Yannis is so funny with that Roma hat, lol. What a nice group of friends.

[@maryequilter31]

Love the mix of Chateau and Convent. Happy birthday to Mr. Petherick Sr. On his upcoming big birthday.🎉🎉

[@darylmorse7337]

On the chandelier that you were cleaning, there are battery operated, remote control, tea light candles that would look perfect in it. You could just press a button on the remote and all of the tea light candles would light up.

[@Lexicito]

I thought the same thing. They would cast enough light to light the hall, but it would be enough to make the chandelier sparkle.

[@maj6190]

The music selections today were so fitting and just wonderful to listen to.

[@deniseh122]

Definitely some Downton Abbey vibes at the beginning of vlog. Great to see everyone helping clean - even little Archie. That bed is gorgeous and fits the room perfectly. Mick is truly amazing at age 80 - will be a fun party. Maine USA

[@teresadecamargo6021]

Wishing birthday wishes to your beautiful Dad. He’s very deserving of a fantastic birthday 🎉🎉🎂🎁🎁

[@tonyfranzen161]

Nice to see Gwen again.

[@MK-Farm-Michigan]

Happy 80th birthday, Mick! You have an awesome family!

[@deannfausett3923]

I’m madly in love with that bed! It does look much more appropriate to the new room.

[@user-os7xc5ob5t]

So true. It’s an amazing piece of art.

[@susannahwhitaker994]

What an amazing team, and it is so lovely to see Michael so motivated and happy 🤗

[@pmreynolds4547]

That bed does look better in the upstairs room looks great. Happy Birthday Mick

[@joanoneill381]

That bed does look like it was made for the red wallpaper bedroom. The festive feeling really came through in today’s video. Everyone seems happy to work for Mr. Petherick’s birthday. He deserves it!

[@luckeytexans7287]

The bed is magnificent! LOL to the pup supervising at 4:50.

[@vivienanderson603]

The skill of craftsmen years ago is amazing. No electricity or power tools, just time and skill. Magic😊

[@sheryldixon7331]

Put electric remote control candles in that chandelier and turn them on that would look absolutely beautiful for your dad‘s 80th birthday

[@marysell6184]

Excellent choice to move the bed to the recently renovated upstairs bedroom! It looks as if it was specifically made for that room. Well done. Also, it was interesting to see how those beds are put together. Thank YOU!

[@MJPH5]

Love watching you guys tackle (seemingly) impossible tasks: ancient kitchen renos, an epic 2-story library, and moving that massive 4-poster bed. 😮 It’s truly inspiring! 🤩

[@sueregan2782]

That beautiful bed just faded into the blue, but is greatly highlighted against the red and light colored wood of its new home!

[@autodidactin]

Always nice seeing the Crack On Team working together to make the splendid happen. That magnificent bed looked amazing in the newly-renovated room.

[@jessicanadin-tozer8366]

We got our beautiful drawing from Michael today. It's gorgeous 🥰. Love watching your progress on both properties xx

[@DevonaRavenhold]

I absolutely love the bed in the red room! The red from the walls is really bringing out the rich reds that are within the wood of the bed where before it was so dark in there that you really couldn't see that detail. Amazing choice! And I agree, I believe that the headboard is indeed a Renaissance headboard, it is very Elizabeth and in flavor and beyond stunning!

[@Cazgirl-hq4hi]

Love the Jack russel watching Billy’s son ,so sweet Beautiful old bed..

[@marilynwade9448]

That bed is gorgeous

[@meganhall1306]

Music is spot on Billy. The bed is amazing in the new room. Enjoy your break Rick. Great vlog xxx💕💕💕

[@user-os7xc5ob5t]

Safe travels Rick. That bed was meant to be in that room. What amazing history!! It looks great. Can’t wait to see more of that beautiful kitchen come together.

[@3Goddesses333]

My favorite time is Pethericks Time. 😊😊😊 The châteaux is looking phenomenal. 🥰🥰🥰 What an amazing team 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Wishing a Happy Birthday Mick and many many more, stay well and blessed all ✨🙏🏼♥️

[@donnaglueck2555]

That bed is absolutely a work of art❤ Stunning chandelier

[@juliamcgrath3364]

That chandelier you just hung reminds me of icicles and snow flakes. Very pretty. 😍

[@Fionacollins50]

Yannis and that helmut!!! LOVED IT! The bed looks great in the new room, well done with the dripping chandelier too, it looks wonderful!

[@pamabernathy8728]

Love seeing the team work!!! So nice to have Rock back! And Yanis has such confidence now, warms my heart!! He knows he can tackle whatever needs doing. HOW EXCITING to be celebrating Mick's 80th! Coming up soon Great time to get all the dusting & polishing done. Crack on!

[@carlaaijtink2586]

Much much much beter spot for this beautifful bed! Many more happy and healthy years i wish your dad!

[@Rain-Peters]

Looking great. I hope we can see the bedrooms fully decorated ♥️

[@dashaway1460]

Lovely to see all of you today! the Chateau is looking magnificent!

[@rsnj4501]

Billy, your music choice was perfection ♥️

[@gregfyn]

Thanks for the belly laugh Janis, you can be quite the card!

[@cata687]

Battery powered candlesticks with remote control would be perfect for the chandelier.

[@kathrynwitte3398]

Unfortunately the batteries don’t last very long in candles and I’d be surprised if the set lasted for the evening.

[@cata687]

@@kathrynwitte3398 I have them they last about 6 months before I have to change the batteries in them and that's using them everyday I have automatic turn on and shut off.

[@bclark5955]

Yanis, love your new hat! Cleaning all that crystal is a very tedious job. I'm sure everything will look spectacular when done.

[@user-xx1tm5fe9u]

Makes my day while I slog away in the tundra. We had snow and timber wolves today. I'm going to enjoy a very nice slice of France.

[@jomeyer13]

wow// love the music

[@TheasChristmasVillages]

I think you should film your own Downton Abbey movie at your Chateau. I'll volunteer to be Violet! 😉

[@chrissiecarr5721]

I was thinking, now I know why they had so much staff at Downtown Abbey! 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@williamfurtkevic8644]

I think the line was "I want every surface to gleam and sparkle!"

[@hopegrable]

Everything is looking so beautiful, fellas. Well done!!! The canopy bed looks positively gorgeous in the newly renovated room. No need to rebuild an alcove when you have such a beautiful canopy bed that fits perfectly in the space. I wanted to suggest that you consider using rechargeable tapered candles for the chandeliers that don't have lights yet. I don't know if it will work, but if it does, then you have that option to use them until you get the lights properly rewired. The tapered candles can be used for table settings as well, so it won't be a wasted purchase. The chateau will really sparkle for your father's birthday party. 💝🕯🎁✨🕯💖✨💗🕯🎉💕

[@KatherineAlfaro-zf2gk]

Yannis looks so handsome in his french beret. I am so glad he is wearing it. The beret will be his signature hat. That bed is to die for. I don't care if it has pieces from different periods. The hand carving takes your breath away. I will always have a memory of that bed. Wow!!!

[@supermommaloha]

That's a beautiful bed! I have a hint for future bed moving: after unscrewing , tape them next to the holes they came out of. So you're not searching for them. 😊

[@wildfireintexas]

The chateau looks lovely. I think the bed looks better in the Red Room. And it made me smile to see your chandelier on a shirt rack. Mine was on one for years.

[@nelleg152]

The bed is beautiful. Great to see the chateau being made ready for the party ❤

[@nelliehedrick3147]

Michael that bed is a work of art !! Looks amazing in that room. ❤❤❤

[@kathywiseman7944]

FYI: they do make battery operated taper candles with a remote.

[@matanjaburger2872]

Have a nice brake Rick enjoy ❤ th chateaux is looking great whit all the finishing tutches love the red bedroom ❤

[@malina1239]

This has to be named “the Regal bedroom” Can’t wait to see it all done up🎉

[@Cutelatinguy2]

I have an original 18th century Louis the XVth style walnut bed and matching armoire from France that I bought when I was 18 years old. The amazing fact that they come apart and bolt together for easy transport allowed me to take them on my MANY house moves throughout the years. I'm 56 now and will probably die in my amazing bed with the armoire at it's side!

[@Xazoutje]

When you have a chateau party organizing hasn't changed that much, you need to start weeks ahead of time to get the chateau ready. Michael seems to enjoy cleaning chandeliers very much, you see how happy he is when doing. Yannis is eager learning new things. Rick is the trusty right hand man in every job, have a nice trip to the UK. Mick is always there to help, no matter what job he's there. Billy is becoming full time camera man and seems to enjoy that as well. It would be nice if Alex came back so that we see Billy a bit more before the camera. And lovely how Michael always has a beautiful and proper way to explain everything, as if he's hosting a show on the BBC. Have a great time sprucing up, let's crack on!

[@fraglutz]

Oh, I love this Downton Abbey vibe by pictures and music ;-)

[@maryyoung5190]

That is a gorgeous bed have nothing even close to that in America ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@CynthiaBerry713]

I'm telling you, you have THE most gorgeous chandeliers in your chateau! Lovelovelove them! And that bed...dayum!

[@sharonridings7418]

How exciting and wonderful to celebrate such an amazing part of the family and A team! Happy birthday Mr P!!

[@autumnfall8829]

That bed is AMAZING. What an honor to be the steward of such a beautiful piece of history.

[@SusieMonk-jh8tj]

Is there nothing that team Petherick can’t do……brilliantly?❤❤👏👏

[@annettesharrock1236]

Loving the bed in the freshly decorated bedroom fits in well in there. Loving the history on the bed Michael you told us about its age etc. Your dad for sure will have a wonder 80th birthday celebrations for sure. Loved watching😘

[@junemartin1475]

Loved seeing more of the chateau!! So beautiful!

[@nilawagner]

I admit I wasn't sure about the paint or wallpaper in that bedroom when you started, but have been liking it more and more, and now the bed has just made it - WOW!! It's like you know what you're doing :D Well done Michael and Billy and team, it's a treat to follow along. I love going between the convent and the chateau. Such amazing progress on both!

[@mradford10]

What lovely background music. Perfect for a day of odds and sods. The chateau is looking like a movie set… just stunning.

[@jangriffiths8013]

What a BEAUTIFUL bed! Spectacular!

Mr. Petherick and I share a special birthday this year. I will be 80 years old on Thursday 16th May. Happy Birthday Mr. Patherick.

[@gingerschatshow]

The Chateau is looking brand spanking new inside and out, of course there is the little stuff. But you guys get it done. Have a safe Trip Rick and see you soon. :D Crack on !

[@ForioTX]

Please consider briefly lighting the candles in the chandelier, An unlit candle, white wicks, always has the look of something rented and temporary. Thank you all for sharing your adventures. I devour every video you post! I have so enjoyed getting to know all of you and being witness to your talents. They are immense! Timothy

[@beeabser]

Re: the chandelier; could you place little battery operated fairy lights in there. No one would see them from below, but see the subtle glow during the party. Put it on during the day, and would last throughout the evening before the battery dies. Looking forward to your upcoming birthday party for your beloved dad!

[@anuhjarpe1812]

That headboard on the bed is amazing! Happy 80th birthday Mick🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤

[@conne109]

The opening was giving Downton Abbey vibes with everyone cleaning and the music.

[@michelinecomeau3257]

Suggestion… for the entrance chandelier, put battery operated candles with a remote… it will be safe and beautiful… I always look forward to your videos. ❤🇨🇦

[@user-bl8kj3ir8l]

I don't think that as viewers, we can comprehend the massiveness of the Chateau. It looks like it is normal but I know that if we were there, that we would be overwhelmed by the shear size of it. It is something else wonderful

[@lenystipene60]

Awesome to see Michael happy, & in front of the camera. His personality infectious, his knowledge impeccable of many things & he's so handsome.😁 You are a very wise man Billy, for giving Michael the opportunity. Yanniis, wearing that hat shows us another side of your personality. Your so funny.🤭 Great job to all lovelies. The bed looks amazing!😁👍🏿 🙏❤

Beautiful. Happy 80th. You can get battery operated candles that have a timer to go on and off at night on their own. All you have to do is change the batteries every once in awhile.
