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.

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.

@fonhollohan2908 2 года назад

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.

@rickmacpherson1413 3 года назад

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!

@sydney4911 4 года назад

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.

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

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

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.

Life is so short and precious. 💔

@refiii9499 4 года назад

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.

@procta2343 2 года назад

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.
