My name is Michael Petherick and I live with my family at Chateau de la Basmaignee in north west France.
My brother and his fiancé bought this building with some inheritance money three years ago and we are slowly restoring it to live in, and run as a business.
It’s always a financial struggle to keep the place going and we have to work hard to keep our heads above water, but we love it and wouldn’t have It any other way.
When they knew that they were buying the château, my brother asked me if I would like to move over and take part in their new adventure... so I packed my bags, gave up my life in England and moved here to help bring this place back to life.
We do all the renovations ourselves including construction, decorating and collecting antique furniture that we buy cheaply to restore. Our goal is to fill the château with beauty and life as it once was.
I have a passion for history, art and all things old.
These videos are a series of stories about my life and experiences living in a French castle.
We film and edit everything ourselves.
I’ll be showing all aspects of life here, from renovation and DIY, to crafts and baking, art, daily life and a bit of fun thrown in for good measure. There’s much more to see and our journey is still just beginning.

Sheila Milliken In Canada we have sanding sponges about 3”x5” that mould to odd or awkwardly shaped wood. I can’t believe they are not available in France.

@moinature803 4 года назад

Just in case you missed my comment last time: Lisa at the Chateau de Montmagner found out while restoring her own windows that changing the glass panes for thicker and therefore more energy efficient ones, didn't cost her that much and was easy to do since she had to change the putty anyway.

@ICUinthedark 4 года назад

In theory a thicker pane glass sounds energy-efficient, yet it is not. To be truly efficient one needs double pane glass inserts with E-Gas inside...very expensive to make, plus the thickness in the end makes it difficult to install, have to end up modifying the windows.

@laurieannstratton5176 3 года назад

@@ICUinthedark The gas does come out in several years time. It is the air space that is most insulating. Check out sound prodding and insulation videos. You can double pane old would windows with some retrofitting.

@tpike9482 4 года назад

Michael.....when you have to sand inside or even when you're cleaning the inside of the cottage, take a least 1 box/floor fan & place it in the doorway or an open window. It will draw out most of the dust that is stirred up & keep things a bit cleaner. Also, if you don't have the right size of sander or a sanding block/sponge, take 2 pieces of scrap wood 2.54 cm x 5.08 cm x 20.32 cm & wrap a piece of sand paper around 1 piece with the ends meeting in the middle of one side. Take the other piece & lay it on top of the wrapped piece & nail/staple it down to the sandpaper-wrapped piece. Now use the smaller flat surface & the corners of the covered piece to sand tight areas & corners, etc. Also, there is a natural safe paint-removing gel in the US that you can apply to wood surfaces & then cover with kitchen plastic wrap & leave overnight. It causes all the old paint to bubble up & separate from the wood so that you can just scrape it off & have very little to sand. It saves a lot of time & work. And there is a resin that you can apply to rotted & internally-damaged wood to preserve it. It soaks into the rotted/damaged wood & hardens it so that you can apply any needed wood filler, sand the wood & paint it. This can save you from having to remove or replace any wood. I enjoy watching it rain at the chateau, as well as the sound of it. Very neat additional story line with the mystery.

Both you and Stephanie have such presence on 'the screen' very good acting in fact. The script was delightful. You should also think about having Michael Potts to write a play and you and Stephanie and others could act it out. I really like the old time mysteries and miss them on TV. Love seeing the cottage work. I will have to try out the new putty product on some repair things I need to attend to around here. Have a great weekend. It is Labor Day weekend here so Monday is a Holiday here in the States and that means cookouts, beach walks, music fun times.
