Boys... you need to help your dad get his place finished so he can relax and retire in a nice place already!!!!!! He and your mum deserve it❤️❤️❤️the sooner the better!!!! It's important to appreciate that man! I just lost my dad Monday Memorial Day and I am heart broken 😢but watching your dad so full of life does my heart good. Bless you all 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@jaclynroth1440]

Just love everyone’s sense of humor. So quick witted.

[@TRoth858]

It doesn't matter what project you're all working on, you have laughs together. It's like a party just waiting to happen. I also love that rather than get annoyed, which I'm sure you guys do get, you still think positive, and carry on. What positive influences you all are. I think young people should be required to watch your videos to learn how to work hard, think positive, and know how to handle hiccups.

[@James-f6f5g]

Dad petherick is a patient man.

[@deborrastrom8559]

I cannot believe How many show up to this Channel...now that Michaels Back. I love this whole family & all the amazing friends! They all gather round to help..their unbelievable calm & happy attitudes & all soo smart, but when Micheal is gone too long, it is felt! Lol Just as I imagine it is for any of them...they are what a family is "suppose" to be like!! Take lessons world.

[@shawnhammond140]

Indeed he is a treasure. And his mom is a peach. Together they seem to be the bedrock of the family foundation. To me it seems both this chateau and Stephanie Jarvis' have amazing parents who are inspirational and provide much support. They are indeed rare treasures.

[@mayradell3953]

Shawn has a wonderful personality. He seems always cheerful and ready to help. Great team.

[@debshaw680]

Billy is an artist with the digger. It’s satisfying to watch him. Glad you’re back working on the cottage. Thanks for letting us join you!

[@James-f6f5g]

I think we can all say his father was a superb and patient teacher.

[@lindefraser9148]

Delightful to see the Petherick family digging in and getting the job done together!

I think Dad loves what he's doing because he's so talented Love his Mom and Dad

yes, I thought the same! enough heavy lifting for Dad!!

[@James-f6f5g]

Dad wouldn't be dad if he was not able to help.

[@teresaobrien663]

Yeaa! Everyone’s back together again. While I enjoy all the individual spin-off vlogs, I think I love Michael’s & Stephanie’s Vlogs the most because their Vlog styles feature the camaraderie between all the people around them, highlighting each persons particular talents/strengths. I always enjoy that but especially given what’s happening in the world of late.

British sense of humour, can't beat it.

[@shawnhammond140]

Very true. Although many have tried repeatedly with sticks and stones. Lol

[@DeeFightingDreamer]

Absolutely true. I admire the British for their humour. I've been reading a book called Watching The English by Kate Fox, and there was a chapter about the British humour. Apparently it can't even be faked or learnt. Many Anglophiles tried, but alas, unsuccessfully. I found that quite interesting.

[@shawnhammond140]

@@DeeFightingDreamer i am an avid fan of the late Sir Terry Pratchett, author of the Discworld series. If you are into British humour, he is well worth checking out

[@amywatkins9404]

Thank you for letting us into your lives. You have a great eye and it's fun to watch your easy interactions with your friends and family. Authenticity is really lacking in entertainment today, so this is so refreshing.

Sooo incredibly happy that work is resuming in the gardener's cottage. Dying to see it become habitable. Upstairs too. 👏

So lovely that you all help each other 😊 I hope your Mum & Dad get their cottage finished soon too ☺️🌷

[@slomo1716]

I ABSOLUTELY love and respect Billy, a very talented can do Manly Man!! We had that exact same Massey Ferguson tractor along with a ford and a bulldozer on the family farm I grew up on. Only wish I could understand Da, with that thick cockney/English accent, I haven't a clue. Michael is a very creative genius, the filming of nature and wildlife is astounding! please explain what all those TATS mean?

[@susanwoodward7485]

Great to see the multi-talented Pletherick men and Sean back in action together. Welcome to the new young man as well - he is so lucky to be working with these folks. Love the music in this video - you could score for films and the BBC - another of your amazing aesthetic sensibilities and talents. Bertie has grown from adorable puppy into a lovely little dog. So excited to see the cottage renovation continue!

[@SJFoss]

This video had the air of a new season to it - when all the characters come back refreshed and with new energy, everyone feels the excitement. Loved the new kind of music played as well, especially with the sunrise montage!

[@DoingItOurselvesOfficial]

I love that you felt that. It’s exactly how I feel right now.

Fantastic photo of you both 🥰❤️🤩 Can’t wait to watch it 🥰🎉 x x x

[@lynnerodgers4461]

Am so glad to be watching again. I too had to take a hiatus. Had been hanging on to a once loved work place hoping to retire from there. Hedge fund companies have no business in the medical field! To save my sanity/decrease stress I started a new job after 31 years. I work in a safer place with enough staff to make sure our patients are safe and well cared for. It has been challenging to start fresh after such a long time, in the midst of a pandemic and still be the oldest person on the unit. So worth it though. Now I can be the kind of nurse my patients deserve and I have always tried to be. Time to spend with a new mom, dad and baby without having to rush out constantly to check on other patients due to unsafe staffing. So I'm just recently back as well. Your content is wonderful! The photography, drone footage and editing are extremely well done. You are a natural. I absolutely love to watch your family and friends interactions. You ALL work so hard! The friendly banter is a real plus. Love everyone's sense of humor❣ This is far more entertaining than any DIY or reality show on mainstream TV. Everyones is genuine! Thank you so much for all the effort and love you put in to making such a quality video!

[@annbardue3473]

ALL the Pethricks have skills!!! I’m glad you are back Michael!

Michael’s little dog is so trusting climbing down and around their legs whilst they moved the heavy table!

[@susanrussell8195]

Actually, that dog is not Michael’s dog. He has the black one and thethe blonde chihuahua, Bertie.

[@janetplanet09]

The dog could have tripped one of them and someone (Mr. Petherick or Sean) could have been seriously hurt. I had a coworker whose little dog tripped her and she ended up with over 100 stitches in her face.

[@SB_McCollum]

That music is the biz, gets you to think something magical is about to happen - but we’re just watching a digger! 😄

[@kathrynarnold4201]

I continue to be impressed by the skills this family has! Billy was like a surgeon with the digger. Michael has such a positive attitude about this mishap and understood exactly what had happened and what needed to be done. Dad pitches in, directs the work, and works as hard as the younger men!
