    Mick must enjoy that wonderful feeling of still being an amazing resource to both an incredible project and his family as a whole. At 72 I still work albeit 2 days a week but it gives me a sense of purpose . The older generation still has so much to give. Mick is fortunate to be able to physically work still. The secret to staying forever young! 😊

    Your dad is a trooper. "They won't let me retire." Best line in the whole video. Seriously though is so nice to see that he gets in there up to his elbows in your projects. On another note Gwen blew me away with her observation of the library. You kiddo have married a very wonderfully supportive woman, even though at times it may be hard to see. Just loved her answer about both of your projects in the Convent. Don't you ever take it for granted. Your dad's got 20 yrs on me, but we work the same. Glad you have such a supportive family.

    Mick , my dad always said, when you stop you get old r 6 feet under 😅.
    Wow those doors are beautiful!

    Your father reminds me of my father, who pretty much worked until he was 84 years old when he died. He raised 10 children was a loving father and husband, and instilled in his children the same value of hard work. Your father was incredible enough of a man to teach you those same principles, and I am sure that you are as proud of him as he is of you. Well done to both you and your father.

    • @denisemarle4141

      Same here, my dad passed away at 82, after retiring at 65, he almost went straight back to work... after a rival company came calling, unable to find someone with his specialised knowledge of their equipment, he went from 2 days to full time in the blink of an eye. And he loved it, it was a family owned company that treated him as a member, it made him feel useful and needed, he was almost indispensable to them really, downside for my mum.. there was not much time for work around the house... without tobacco, he would have had another 20 years.
      Yes, Mick P is strong of character and a worker, it's fantastic to have all these memories recorded for the generation of Pethericks! 🦘

    Dear Mick, in essence you should be retired but I have a feeling you are loving every second of working with your son and everyone back at the chateau. You are strong and wise with so much experience to offer to your kids. I feel so happy for you to have your family/grandchildren with you. It is the best life. Keep safe and well. Paddy does very fine, quality work, the doors are beautiful. I’m happy Yanis is taking a well deserved vacation. Billy, your tool belt dilemmas were quite funny, but once you learn where everything goes, as you said they are quite handy. Alex, you are amazing.

    I hope Yanis is having a great weekend off. Mick, you are such an inspiration to us. To be working at 80, with your sons, must be so satisfying and meaningful. I am sure many of us will learn from your example and keep going as long as possible. The convent is clearly going to love this library. Everything is fitting so well. Paddy's doors look wonderful, even before they are fitted. The fact that the wood has come from an old oak tree in Mayenne makes them even more special. I just hope we get some interesting glass panels to finish them off. Thanks Billy, Mick, Alex and Layla, another superb video. 😀

    Mick is an absolute treasure. I think working on the convent is perfect for him. I can't see him retiring completely, so it gives him a project. And his expertise has been priceless. I had a unit rather like the Crafuel. It would be a frig or a warmer. It was priceless when we moved to a different town and the mover couldn't get to the house because a tropical storm had made a mess of the road. We plugged in the cooler and it was our frig for almost a week.

    Love seeing the Mick cam today. Thank you, Alex! Yanis definitely deserves to take a nice weekend holiday with friends. He has certainly earned it! Mick, I agree with everyone about how wonderful it is to see you still working along side the "boys." My own father attempted retirement 3 times before it stuck. He just couldn't stand being idle. He had worked hard his entire life and after a few months of sitting around the house watching tv and doing nothing, he would get bored and head out to the workshop to "tinker around" with something or other and the next thing we knew, he was back to running his own business again lol.

  • @RenegadeADV
    @RenegadeADV 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +29

    I grew up doing electrical work with my old man, and because of this have done a lot of demolition, one of the tricks I picked up along the way is that when you have to cut pipes close to a wall like that you can take a grinder with a wafer disc and cut down the length of your sawsall blades to be just long enough that you can get the guard against the pipe and not be ramming the blade into the wall, this makes for a more precise cut.
    As well splitting a piece of PVC pipe to go over the water pipe to protect from knicking it as you come through and securing it with a couple of zip ties can save you a lot of headaches and worry.
    On that note the doors look absolutely beautiful.

    Billy/Alex....I've been watching for several years now, back to buying the library, and even before that. When you and Ryan were doing the interviews in the office, very informative. Could you do a series of biographical interviews about your family history, business, chateaux, convent, and all the folks who work with you. At one time Ryan was asking suggestions about subjects for videos and I suggested promos for the various shops and businesses in the area. In other words, A community PR campaign as well. Thought it would be great to promote the community for future efforts of your convent plans. Publish in French and English so your neighbors get t know you. 💖

      Yes and I imagine it would be hard to keep the children off it. 🙄

    MR Petherick Senior I could listen to you for hours you are a natural on screen, just like a typical kiwi bloke here in New Zealand, cheers and thanks for sharing your experience.

    I agree, great work guys especially you Mick your a bloody legend! Definitely easier with Alex there to film for you Billy. Makes a bloody huge difference, you are powering through the work. It is wonderful to see a grand old building being renovated and given another life. Cheers Steve

    Yes, tool belts are very handy! Most of us just don’t have enough hands. 😂.The doors are beautiful. They will be spectacular when they are up and have glass and are finished.

    Having a vision and executing it on this scale, to perfection, takes a lot of skill and courage. Finding and managing a team as well (the best people!), while having a young family….. Billy, you are an amazing young man! Your parents have done a great job raising all of you kids ❤️🙏👏💪

    A suggestion is to gather some items from around the convent and some photos - lists of names of people who have worked on and contributed around the convent and make a time capsule hidden in the library somewhere for future generations to discover.

    Really like the explanations as you go. Not too much talking but really understand what you are doing. Reason you can remove pipes and rocks and how you will make sure it is strong when you are done. Amazing how Dad is able to lift big pipes and cement chunks!

    I'm amazed you found quality oak in France considering the amount wanted for the Notre Dame in Paris! Beautiful doors made by Paddy.
    Your dad - amazing 😊❤
