Windmill Restoration Dream - The Restoration Man - S02 EP1 - Home Renovation

[@ExpectMiracles55]

In all this time I've been watching this show I could never imagine oneday I would end up in tears. My condolences to Peter and families. The final product was a fitting homage to a beautiful soul. Rest in peace Nikki. And you George, what a beautiful human being you are.

[@rozendahendrickse7962]

Me too...😢

[@LolaClo]

Same here. I’m balling my eyes out. I was going to write something beautiful but I’m at a loss for words. For someone so young and vibrant to have terminal cancer is so disgustingly unfair…

10 years later and I pray Peter and his family have found peace and happiness x

[@TRippon2000]

I am really glad that the cameras stopped when George hugged Pete. It was a private moment, and you can see the devastation that they both felt when Pete told George the news. I hope that Pete remembers that Nikki would want to see him stay in the house that she built with him. George is very much a gentle giant.

[@clairehawkes1112]

Gosh, I had no idea how sad this was going to be. But how beautiful and life affirming too. Bless you Nikki and Pete. Nikki’s soul is in the mill ❤️

[@fonhollohan2908]

So heartbreaking and Pete stayed strong through it all and loved his wife as he should with sheer integrity to the end of her journey. I normally don't shed tears but this episode caused my eyes to leak and I couldn't hold them back! George, as your English comrades would say, your a good bloke.

[@geordiemark7901]

there isnt a lot in this world that reduces a tall man to tears but this has had me sobbing like a baby, nikki was such a beautiful soul rest in peace you are an angel now, to her hubby hats off to you sir your one in a trillion, well done on the build

[@HamelinSong]

Setting aside the sobbing. This is probably one of the best buildings I have seen in this program. The wood, and the metal, and the stone... it balances both traditional and contemporary in such an organic way! it's SO beautiful, I'm speechless

[@rickmacpherson1413]

This is perhaps one of the most magical build restoration that has a human element that really hit home in that we are all only here for a short time. When the three were having tears after climbing to the second floor with Nikki, I teared up along with everyone else standing on the scaffold. The legacy left by Nikki cannot be put into word. My thoughts and prayers to the family and especially to Nikki’s husband Pete, as your courage and strength is an inspiration to us all. God Bless!

[@whateverrrrrr123]

Nikki is in heaven. I don’t know her but watching her in this video shows me that she had a kind soul

[@DrAkinlabi]

One of the toughest episode to watch. I had set out to watch a beautiful restoration, but ended up sobbing like a baby. May God continue to strengthen the family that Nikki left behind. Thank you George for being a man with a beautiful heart - your tears got me sobbing.

[@Tsitrassong]

This episode should come with a warning! I swear I was crying through 3/4's of this show. Beautiful restoration and build

[@sydney4911]

I was reduced to tears running down an old man cheeks as I watched this. How very sad for Pete at the end. You could just see and feel his loss in his eyes and demeanor, while at the same time it is a day to celebrate. I hope that he was able to settle into the home and that he has able to rest knowing how much his wife would have loved what they had planned for their future. This is by far the most emotional episode of this show I have seen.

[@robincarneyoakland]

So beautifully stated.

[@BillyJoeJimBob28]

Yes I totally agree. It was also a truely remarkable & beautiful restoration. Godspeed Pete.. lovely Niki

[@melodytenisch6232]

Same here from an old woman.🙏😢

[@yeshprab]

This restoration video has touched me so very deeply like no other. The tragedy that occurred behind the project, which Pete endured so stoically has saddened me. I saw how deeply this tragedy affected you (George Clarke), and because of the way you responded prompted me to respect even more. The finished house is simply stunning. Wishing Pete long-lasting happiness and a golden future which he so richly deserves. Thank you very much for uploading this video. Made me realize that living in the midst of nature is so tranquil and peaceful, but human life is so fragile. Yesh Prabhu, Bushkill, Pennsylvania

[@shakthidhasan4544]

Dear George thank you for your loving embrace of these true restoration warriors, it feels like its from all of us and i so want to embrace them. Beautiful and thank you.

[@patriciakelly69]

Aww, that beautiful young woman it just breaks your heart. Cancer is so evil. I was hoping that Nicki would see it finished, but it didn’t happen. It was so lovely to see how happy she was when she saw the windmill nearly finished. I hope that Pete continues to live his dream and hopefully in the future meets someone as beautiful and lovely as his wife was. Xx

[@petermoir5790]

once again George shows his true humanity, rest easy Nikki.

[@rosajimenez7777]

He is a super nice guy.

[@Jessiesutherland]

Words escape me, a sad build, Nikki will live on in the love of this amazing restoration.

[@crankygurl4311]

I feel the same.......

[@dmartin7035]

Watching this for the first time and all teared up. Well done to Pete and Nikki for their vision in recreating the old windmill as an inspirational home. Thank you to George for bringing us their story.

[@TheTubeTube2]

What a wonderful restoration project and how beautifully done with what seems to be a very talented firm of craftsmen builders. But Nikki and Pete are really special stars, mighty brave and an inspiring part of the story. Nikki quietly shows us all how to cope really elegantly with the hardest thing that life can throw at her, what an admirable soul. Pete too, a brave man. I do so wish him well and above all I wish him peace. His home is marvellous.

[@hollyhold562]

Reed's BEAUTIFUL Windmill is Nikki Fagg's lasting, earthly gift to our world. She's a busy, very much alive angel this very moment. Who knows, exactly, the joy she brought, brings, and will bring, to Peter, their families, & to all of us, really. Well done, every one of you.

[@kcsunnyone]

I sat here and sobbed watching this show.

[@donnaallgaier-lamberti3933]

I was so touched by the tears in George Clarke's eyes.

[@cindypoole6792]

George is so compassionate for what this young couple is going through. Awww.... death is always so hard for those of us left behind, Nikki seems accepting. Still so sad. God bless them all. What a FANTASTIC mill!!

[@procta2343]

This one was very hard to watch, how cruel things can be. I was really hoping she was going to see the end product of her dream. This Windmill became more than just a WindMill but a monument to Nikki. That will stand for all time.

[@mattneillninasmom]

A living testament to Nikki and her husband and the vision they shared. Sad, yes - but also, quite beautiful.

[@ylenrams1912]

I like to watch restoration programs rather than dramas because I do not like to get emotional, and here I am, crying all my tears for Nikki and her beautiful home. Such a lost, but I believe she is there in the memory of each stone, each detail made out of love.

[@refiii9499]

Omg what a heart wrenching story. Nikki was such a nice lady. Many blessings to her and her family. Also I hope Pete is well today. What he did to give his loving wife the absolute best and most well built home I think I’ve ever seen was so sad to see her not make it through to the finish. Now she’s in the best home she could ever ask for in heaven. Pete’s parents are also amazing people to do what not all parents would do and give them that land and mill to make this dream come true. If it wasn’t for them this home wouldn’t be here today.

So beautiful that she loved him enough to appreciate an old run-down Tower of bricks and helped him turn it into a forever home. Here's to Nikki and her Pete may he find a future that provides someone new and children to hand it over to so that a hundred years from now it is still loved and in the family.

[@joanleinweber3541]

So much happiness and sadness mixed together in this beautiful build. To see the courage and strength of both Nikki and Peter during such turbulent times. We all know our time on this earth is actually very short. I admire both of them so much. Watching them attain their dreams and and knowing only one of them will live to enjoy the fruits of their labor. I pray the families of Nikki and Peter are doing well. God never promised us that life would be fair. This has been a very special and memorable video for so many reasons. And George is such a kind, gentle and caring man. The tears flow freely as I watch this.

I’m not sure how to react to this humanistic and ever practiced approach to a television show Thank you for this great honor to Nikki dear Angel eyes, you are forever appreciated sir

[@dianewalker4633]

Ohhh what a sad episode. I don't think it's possible to watch it without tears. The build is beautiful, but bittersweet because Nikki didn't live to see it. George, you are the most wonderful, warm, kind man. I fully endorse the phrase that another commentor made "George, what a beautiful human being you are".

[@jamgart6880]

Absolutely heartbreaking. 😢 But she lives on in the history of that building, forever linked to it. Even in a hundred years or two hundred years or more, she is part of its story. It would not have been restored if it wasn’t for Nikkie, what a legacy to leave xx

[@gerhard6105]

Very nice build and restoration. Nikki and Pete went through there toughest times together. I lost my sister (40) in June 2011. Good that a new cap came on the mill. Even here in the Netherlands there are still many mills without their cap. And some are restored like your or even more modern. I wish you the best.

Life is so short and precious. 💔

This episode made me very emotional, and I think everyone involved, including George, the TV crew and the builders had emotional times to finish this build. The news halfway the program hit like a sledgehammer in the face, and many people would have dropped the towel in the ring. But I admire their strength to keep on going with the project in such hard times and it's very sad Nikki never saw the finished result, RIP Nikki. I hope Pete has been able to make a new start in this place, which turned out fantastic!
