Replacing This 100 Year Old Cottage Staircase.

[@gentrybowley1018]

It’s kind of strange, really… just how excited I became when I noticed Doing It Ourselves in my notifications. It was like seeing a message, from an old friend, who you’ve lost contact with, over the last several months. On top of that, it is a wonderful episode. Thank you!

[@DoingItOurselvesOfficial]

The come back 😂

[@norsebavarian1941]

I sort of thought the channel was done with billy and Gwen moving on.

[@darlenewebber7706]

Same here you are so loved Michael!🥰

[@lesliezagrobelny4820]

Glad I found your channel, I’m addicted to the Pethericks , the Moons, Life with Ryan. Will be watching you regularly now.

[@cran6erry]

ahaha me too!

[@DeeFightingDreamer]

I'm so glad to see you back and smiling Michael! I must admit, I haven't been keeping up with the channel for the past year, and last week I randomly remembered and binge watched a lot of old videos. I'm glad you are ready to get back into vlogging and dare I say, you look just as vibrant as when you first started your channel. I've seen a couple of less pleasant comments on your recent videos, people often forget you don't owe anything to us. I don't care how long you've been away as long as you're happy :)

[@DoingItOurselvesOfficial]

Thanks a lot for your lovely comment

[@gailframpton7758]

Looks great, and you're an inspiration for everyone out there to do DIY themselves ❤

[@claudiayamada8377]

Amazing accomplishment; getting your staircase in! Your fortunate to have great friends to help but especially your amazing father who has so many years of experience in so many areas. He’s an on site consultant any time you need him. You’re very lucky to have him!!

[@janineregan]

Loved that video Michael, thank you. So lovely to see you again. Please don’t feel the need to make promises or commit to a time frame for your videos; it’s just a lovely surprise when ever you upload. 💙😊🇦🇺

[@jfs59nj]

Darling Michael, you have been so missed. This was a wonderful, “very Michael” video…and it only makes me want more. Whatever Florian is to you - trainer, friend, or more - he’s an absolute keeper. Lovely to see Dad and Mo. But mostly you. Keep well and I hope we will see you soon again.

[@DoingItOurselvesOfficial]

Thanks a lot for your comment 👌

[@Linda-9037]

You jumped onto my screen and my heart jumped for joy...Honestly I was smiling ear to ear. Your art is beautiful, your cottage staircase is finally in... all is well...So glad to see you.

[@michelerowes4340]

Puppy room under the loft ladder! So Beatrix potter! Thinking this cottage of yours will be an inspiration for all your new books. Also your messy neighbor with the ponies ! The lovely green house and pig and rabbit.maybe even the coming of age apple trees!.can hardly wait!

[@ferntella]

Missed you Michael! The new staircase looks BEAUTIFUL! Loved seeing you all work together.

[@suzanconklin8415]

I can’t get over the transformation to the cottage. It has become a piece of art. Yo u should make a plaque with the names of all who have placed their hands on it. It’s absolutely stunning.

[@markr.h.2574]

I am thrilled to see you again and discover your new achievements at the Gardener‘s Cottage.

[@andreacatzel8259]

That is a beautiful staircase! I’m so glad you’re back! I’ve missed your vlogs very much!

[@prairiefive4260]

I'm totally exhausted just watching you put in that staircase.

[@karlanorvell9573]

It was so good to see your lovely face again (& Florin's too). We missed you so much. Remember that we are 200,000 of your friends, so whatever vlog you put out of what you have been doing, is probably going to make us happy. Plus you are so creative, you have always mixed house renovations with cooking, art and travel. Just be you and make vlogs that are as long as you can do each week. I also look forward to work you will do in the chateau. Keep up the good work.

[@deborrastrom8559]

Michael cannot wait to see how you do the Chateau!! YOU MUST BE IN like a permanent "HEAVEN- HEART" ❤️ 💙 💜 💖 💗. 😆 lol. Soo happy for you. Betting Stephanie will be consulted !! BUT I really want to see the beginning & end of Cottage completion!!

[@helenstella2666]

Oh Michael, you don’t know how good it is to see you 🥰 I loved seeing the excitement & joy on your face with your staircase .. such a beautiful piece of craftsmanship 👏 it looks amazing! Your paintings are stunning ☺️ I don’t mind waiting for your videos .. ‘good things come to those that wait’ ❤️ 🐾 p.s. .. loved the intro 😆

So good to see you back. The staircase looks gorgeous. Everyone pitching in to help. Florian and Mo and your Dad. You will have it done in no time. You gained a bit of weight but you look healthy. Take it slow and stay safe. Your pup is so cute under the stairs. Again welcome back. We all missed you.

[@danelleedwards3256]

Why the hell would comment on anyone’s weight? Ever? 🙄 Next time, just don’t.

[@loom1c]

The stairs is authentic to the cottage. Beautiful- so worth all that effort. Wonderful to have you vlogging again you were so missed. Xx

[@martaaberg3330]

So glad you are back! What a stroke of brilliance on your mother's part to put the dog bed under the stair so she has her own little bedroom she can watch the activity from. Can't wait to see the next vid!

[@josephinewills8647]

Your Dad is an Amazing Adorable Man, Helping Out With You, Billy and Sadie, He’s Superb 👌👍👏👏👏👏👏

That was a great video - welcome back, Michael. I know you must appreciate all the things your old dad does for you. He’s so amazing. I miss my jack-of-all-trades dad. He knew how to do anything and everything. And did them all with a smile - like your pop. ❤️

[@wolscheline]

welcome back Michael, your staircase looks incredible great. I also love your idea for the windows and your mum's idea for Titty is so thoughtful, there she has her place to feel safe and not disturbed by anything. Can't wait to see the next steps in the kitchen. But please not in so many month as we had to miss you now. Your paintings look lovely also. See you in the next vlog 🥰🥰💕💕💕🍀🍀🍀🍀👍👍

[@DoingItOurselvesOfficial]

Titi loves the new staircase 👌 See you soon I hope 😂

Great to see you back again Michael an to see all the progress you have done on your cottage. You are such a wonderful artist.

[@juliedooley2854]

Great to see you back Michael. You have no idea what charisma and star power you have. The fact that you can take months off vlogging and still have 238 thousand people subscribing and eagerly waiting your return says it all. How I have missed those amazing blue eyes of yours.

[@Sherryskogstad]

So glad to see you again Michael. The cottage is looking amazing. I can hardly wait to see the finished product. I am also looking forward to seeing what you do with the chateau.

[@Vee-zx6eh]

I actually think it was worth the wait have an Oak staircase made. It is quality and looks good. Nice job. The cottage is taking shape, I think back to the beginning and what you have done is quality. Thanks for sharing.

[@kimrafferty7170]

Been having a doing it ourselves binge day as I'm not feeling well, so literally watched all day. I miss the regular videos so much and watching all day has made it even worse. I doubt Michael will see this but just in case you do - I hope you are well and looking after yourself and just wanted you to know I miss your beautiful videos so much. Love to you all at the chatuex xxxx

[@mandywhitton]

I do love your Art work Michael it Brilliant ❤ it all ❤

[@normamurray4450]

So glad you're back Michael and with your buddies. The Cottage has always been one of my favourites, so I'm looking forward to seeing the progress and to watch you cook too!

[@reladie]

Dear Michael and Florian, as well as your amazing Dad. So missed your Vlogs. You always included your Family and Friends. You made your viewers feel like your best friends.... God so richly bless you and your endeavors. Your watercolor of the Chateau is stunning.. If you ever are inspired to do a painting of your Cottage or Front gate, I hope I will be on the list of purchasers. 💞🙋

[@reladie]

Wow thank you Michael, free shipping, you are so generous with your time and talent. Lots of love🙆

Michael you look very good and healthy! Keep on doing what your doing because it is working for you!! I see it in your face. Keep on doing it your self. It looks good on you.

[@micheleyamamoto545]

Nice work! I love to see someone who appreciates beautiful natural wood and doesn't paint it all. Maybe that's because at the moment I've taken on the task of removing the white paint on all of the original trim, door frames, casings and windows in my 1950s house. It's a pain but the original oak is so pretty and it will be less maintenance in the long run, so that keeps me going.

[@jimmydominey9965]

Good to have you back, the cottage is looking so good 👍😊

So great seeing You back Michael . You were missed .
