My dad built my playhouse for my 6th birthday. I'm now 67 years old and recently inherited my childhood home. My playhouse is still in amazing condition. Every person who has worked on my house gravitates to it and are amazed that it was built like a real house. It has a foundation, working windows, electricity and a brick patio. My project for spring is to have it refurbished so it will last another 60 years. I know the girls will love their house. Take care of it and it will be there for your grandchildren.

Glad to see Benoit is back and not limping. Bravo. Also liked his right angle trick. Lilly is very lucky to have such creative parents! How you fit this in among all your other jobs is incredible. Looking forward to seeing the finished playhouse! The girls will love it for years to come. I am guessing the essential things were missing at the shop, a guard for the blade and goggles. I've used a table saw and mine had a guard and I pushed the cut piece away with a long block of wood. Philipp, you may have noticed Benoit is missing part of a finger? You and Nathan should not push wood away from a rotating blade. Ever. Even as a joke for a video.

I think Phillip as been deliberately keeping them off screen because their star quality is so overshining.

The interactions between Philipp, Benoit and Nathen are always wonderfully entertaining. Really enjoyed watching the beginning of this interesting project. Anna, I have a feeling you may be in for some more painting. What a great present for Lily!

The kid's cabin looks like a lot of fun. It's nice to see a chateau that is kid friendly with places to run and play, explore and, of course, has a play house. Someday, if you get really ambitious, consider putting a secret miniature fairy castle in the forest. And, you could put a treasure map (castle map) in the chateau - perhaps framed and mounted, kid's eye level - in the chateau.

I was thinking it ironic that Lily wants a space of her own given the size of the chateau, but I suppose not so surprising given the main chateau is under constant restoration.

My dad build me one when I was little. It was a little up in the treas with one big trea in each corner. I really loved that little house and I will for ever have so many nice memories from there. Very good idea to build this house for your children. Something for them to really love.

What an adorable ‘petit chateau’!!! Lily will be tickled pink when it’s completed! 😁❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶👏👏👏🇨🇦🇫🇷

Great to see Benoit again, hopefully he's fully recovered! House will look amazing, it's really in a perfect spot.

Loved learning 60/80/1meter. It’s so important to have that kind of knowledge. Thanks Benoît! The tiny house is already adorable.

Did I miss sth? Didn't you guys use to upload every week? I am always looking forward to the new video and the past few weeks it seems to be missing from time to time.. Just wondering.

This is so great that Phillipe and Benoit are building this house for Lilley....such a blessing and will be so much fun!!

What a fun project! What a lucky girl Lily is! Protective goggles were missing! And I held my breath as Philip pushed that piece of wood away from the saw...gulp!

To think, we were sitting eating our McDonald's in your back garden while some of this was taking place. Looks great, good job Philip and Benoit, Lilly will love it.

Benoît is back! Non-limping! Looking younger than ever! I am so relieved!

Love the video, my only concern is securing the structure to the ground. A big storm with big wind could send the structure flying, causing damage to your property. We built one around the same size and a big storm with straight line winds of 70 mph turned the structure into a flying missile. It turned the structure into a new wood pile and damaged structures on our property. The next one we built we set the posts in concrete. Never underestimate the power of mother nature.

The Petite Château de Lilly by Anna, Phillipe, Benoit and Nathan is true French, Italian and English collaboration - as Phillipe said to Benoit- Bravo!

As someone who grew up only knowing city life (no grandparents or relatives in the country side), all I can think about is how wonderful it must be to grow up in such a picturesque environment with so much to explore and experience! Their childhood will always be tied to beautiful scenery and scents of nature, lucky kids

One of my favourite videos you have made, the feeling of joy and community you have built is shining through the screen. What a wonderful house it will be!

My sister and I looonged for one of these as children! Going to the garden centre to look at the summer houses and pretend we could bring one home was our favourite thing to do. Many happy memories will be made here, I'm sure of it!

You all work so, so hard! Have a great week.

Welcome back Benoit have missed seeing u with Philip , you too are so funny together.

I couldn’t stop smiling through this video, it was fun and it reminded me of a “clubhouse”, a friends father built for us boys, such great memories. Looking forward to the completion and the fun of girls occupying it.

Glad to see Benoit is back along with Nathan. Love the play house for Lily.

What a wonderful birthday present 💝

The 3-4-5 Triangle is a very good tool for making 90 degree angles. Benoit knows what hes doing ! Well done !

Very lucky little girls to get a new play house. Big one. Very generous size. Can not wait to see it finished. The dogs also had a lot fun playing. Philippe use your safety gear !

Making beautiful memories the girls will cherish forever. They will always say remember when Mom ,Dad and Benoit built us our playhouse..pkus they will be able to watch the process . Cant wait to see it finishes and how its styled ! I feel dad will be having a sleepover ,tea party real soon too. Sweet.

Happy to see Benoit, big thumb up for his work! 🤩

After a rough day this is exactly what the doctor ordered! Thank you for brightening all of our days every time you upload.

Anna should do an architectural watercolor of the playhouse for patreon members! Or sell them or smth :D

Ah, Phillip, how fortunate you are that your talent is supported by Benoit's building genius and of course the ' I can do anything ' and be handsome too, Nathan. Oh what a wonderful gift for Lily. Congratulations to you all. Can hardly wait to see it all finished🥰🥰🥰

Actually the groves on the deck planking are there for drainage...they are to be placed down so water can dry under the board instead of keeping the wood constantly wet and rotting faster....

When my girls were little their dad built them a play house complete with an upstairs. My girls loved playing in their little house. Your girls are going to love it❤️

I love Your choice of music. It’s brilliant!

I can’t tell you how this warms my heart. When my father was building the house, he saved the shingles and such because he intended to build a matching wee house for me in the back yard. Sadly he died before he could do so (I was three, now the grand old age of 71). I shall watch with great anticipation to see the finished product. Also, glad to see the return of Benoit and Nathan especially who is such a good sport! Congratulations on being such wonderful parents, Philipp and Anna!

So happy that Benoit is doing okay!! It’s also really cool to see his workshop. My dad was a carpenter as well so it brings back lots of great memories 🤍

Lovely to see Benoit back again, and looking very well! Some little girl is going to be very happy on her birthday.

I thought the legs would have been more substantial! Very surprised at that!

This really is amazing. How wonderful for your daughters. A place where memories will be made.

I have to say o really had no confidence in Phillip clearing the brush away once he got on that ladder. I was sure Anna was gonna have to step in. But he pulled it off in the end! Amazing progress so far! ❤️❤️

Love this new play house! Thanks for bringing us along to see the progress. Absolutely love the kitchen in the Chateau 💕💕

Bravo! Can't wait to see the final product!

That was great ! Lilly will be so excited! Great to see the three of them together! Love you guy's! ❤

So good to see Benoit is feeling good! Look forward to what the girls devise in the playhouse. Wish I could attach photo of the playhouse in my garden. It has exterior stairs (4 )that lead up to the "second floor" --- in other words, UP to a exterior passage way around the back of the playhouse giving out to a yellow slide!

"It's a large bed" haha!!! 😂 That does seem like a huge playhouse!! 👏🏻

I live in the United States and I have an extension pole chainsaw. It's a little chainsaw that is run by electricity and can be used by itself or easily attached to a pole that extends out and locks so you can reach limbs. Someone should scold Philip for standing on the top of that ladder - that's a No-No- I think it should be me so.. Philip! Stop that! LOL 😁

It is going to be beautiful. I predict many wonderful memories for your girls in there. I had a playhouse as a girl, built by a family friend. My siblings and cousins spent countless hours in ours, making mud pies, serving "fast food" out the window to neighborhood friends, and also pretending it was a post office. Some of my fondest childhood memories.
