@@notanothershrubberywouldn’t it be hilarious to have Yannis only speaking English and Simon only speaking French to each other? It sounds like an Abbot and Costello bit.
One of the things I like about your channel is how supportive your family is of one another. I am also impressed by the way the other British expats help out. Yanis is in a category all by himself. He is so kind to the children. He is gentle with all of the animals domesticated and wild. He is always willing to do anything with a smile on his face. He helps Sadie out, and now he has persuaded his friends to come to the convent to install the fiberoptic wires. He is such an amazing person with a generous heart. What an inspiration he is.
Billy, my friend, while you are restoring an old convent, you are also restoring faith that kindness and generosity still exists in our world. Thank you.
To me, I am amazed at how Yanis was given a chance and an education by Billy and Simon and now he’s helping his friends to “ crack on” and get their business up and running !
I can just about give Yanis a great big hug 🤗. His enthusiasm and willingness to help people is so heartwarming and shows his character. Bless him!🙏😎❤️
As a senior citizen, it is wonderful to young men so talented and eager. I do not fear for the future -these young people will carry the world forward in exciting and positive ways.
It really pays to have connections. Nice work guys. Yanis was breathing heavy and out of breath when you gave those keys back to the neighbor, he was working extra hard. Bless him.
Yannis is so sweet. He's become so confident. First time I've heard him speak English so much and very well. Credit to you Billy who makes people feel worthy. ❤
i am so delighted to hear Yanis speaking English. So proud of him. He is such a special person. Thanks Sadie for bringing him into your lives. I love all of you. Billy I am always happy to hear you praise your workers. You are very appreciative.
Yanis is a never ending surprise of ‘ get it done ‘ attitude !!! He’s got friends everywhere ❤❤. Cudos to the friends who got the job done 🎉!!! Amazing ❤❤
Wow! What a great video!! I am an old lady in the US, retired Registered Nurse. I know nothing about all the projects you do, Billy. I have been watching since before the kitchen & office renos. I have learned SO MUCH. And Yanis, YOU ARE A STAR!!! 🌟 Now I see how you have worked before at height, with precision & great strength. You friends are AMAZING. How fast they pull cable!!!! And Alex, you've outdone yourself. The new perspectives on the convent are wonderful!! I've never seen drone footage of the actual location. I knew about the parking & buildings outside the apartments Ryan was working on. But so interesting to see the other surroundings. THANK YOU ALL!! BTW, VERTIGO ALERT! I was too busy watching the young men work, including you, Billy, to feel dizzy. ❤😊
Yanis was so proud to introduce his friends in English. They must hold him in high esteem to spend time installing cable at the convent on a weekend. 🇨🇦🙏❤️
As a retired Registered Nurse also, I have been watching since the early days of covid and Billy just started. I am ever amazed at the wonderful enthusiasm Billy has been able to instill in this enormous project. The wonderful people who are attracted to these projects, big ones and little ones are an inspiration to us all.
Poor customer service must be universal. Years ago, I sat behind a phone truck and blocked him from leaving because of a service issue with the fiber optics. He fixed the issue like I knew he could.
Wow, what a great job Yanis and his friends did. It was clearly not easy with such a long amount of cable to run! No wonder the cable companies refused, not interesting for them!
"See I am helping Alex; I'm not just a pretty face" Love your sense of humor! We know you work hard; however, glad you know that you and your family are beautiful people on the outside and the inside. Your friends are pretty wonderful and easy on the eye too! Love the drone shots - thanks for doing extra videos this weekend.
Im an old lady in Texas and fiber optics and close to that technology has been around for quite a while. When we had regular old technology like antennas , it went to cable and then to types of fiber optics. I worked for companies that the Pethericks will recognize in phone technology then satellite technology. Glad to see them getting fiber optic into the convent building. I have buried fiber optic in my yard and it goes into my house running everything off of it. I have my own home network , i cut cable and pay tv etc 8 years ago. Glad to see Yannis and his friends
It is amazing to see Yanis come into his own. He worked as a team with his friends and they all worked hard. It is amazing that a company could not do what these three men did in no time, I hope they are looked up for more work for what they do.
Ours is run under my house through metal conduit so nothing can bite or damage it in any way.. I live in very rural Tennessee USA. There is a huge push to get rural people connected. The local internet company goes through a LOT more than that to install it. Including burying the cable from the road to the house. Through rock, clay etc with having jack hammers to get the job done. They also access poles running up and down mountains with no roads. lol .Orange is a lazy company and this made me appreciate my companies efforts and dedication.. ❤
Yanis has learned so many new skills since starting to work with Billy but I think the greatest skill is probably learning English. Since he had to work with people who primarily spoke English it gave him a big reason to learn more quickly. He and his friends are delightful.
The boxes in the basement may have been used to grow mushrooms. The notched cane looks like those used in gardens to measure the width of rows. Just a suggestion.
Yay Great job getting the fiber optic to the convent! What a nice bunch of friends to have! Billy, that stick could have been a favorite planting stick. You would make a long furrow in the dirt, then make holes to plant the seeds with the end. The notches on the side would tell you how far apart to plant the seeds. This is one use of something and would have been saved. I could see a nun happily out in the garden planting. Asking where did I put my planting stick? You do not always get activity every day with ghosts. Have a great week!
Billy,Yanis,Alex, two friends. What a blessing to have Yanis and his friends install the fiber optics. Congratulations on the fantastic installation. Until Monday. Please, take care and stay safe. Love ya guys 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🇺🇸👍❤️🌹🥤🌞🕊🙏🌈😇
Yannis is awesome... and his friends were so kind to give you a day and help out like that. I live in a rather rural part of the US and I was extremely happy when they finally upgraded our internet to fiber a few years back... And very sweet of the neighbor to help out and let you into her yard... that was nice.
A convent coming back to life (albeit for a different purpose) is surreal. How you ever thought of starting on this journey cries for a dedicated video. It all seems 'right' now, but then....
Could we please have little garden videos this winter? Film clips now put them out over Christmas/ January or whenever ❤ maybe mick or billy clips ? Might be nice having a few extra videos on hand 😊 ex. what’s there, plans for next year, Q & A about it, Dads experience with gardens, maybe Gwen’s dreams for it? 💐 lot of love 💕
I think the Basement Ghost might be a daytime thing 🤷♀ That was an amazing amount of Fibre Cable to run - they are awesome!! Alex, fantastic videography!! Thank you!
Yeah I I hate the swearing it's so ugly. That's why I like RU-vid because I get a choice of what shows I like and I will only watch the ones that are clean
Yannis's friend are the greatest. Glad they came to help get the fiber optics installed. It will make things much better. Hope you moved the sound recorder to another location.
@@anareilley7727I am 63 and my son (37) still thinks I am 10 foot tall and built proof. He can’t comprehend why I can’t do the physical things I used to do. Twelve surgeries can do that to a body.
@@catherinefromchristchurchn6508 amazingly it was before an accident (after three different friends my age fell off of ladders/roofs one was hospitalized a month the other two broken bones and saw blade cut)
Yanis is a star 🌟 team player. Well done getting all that cable pulled through. That was a marathon run to get it from point A to point B. Yanis's can-do attitude will help him to go far and wide. Take care, guys 😊
Re the noises, suggest having more recording machines running in different locations at the same time. Then any single noise can be checked on all machines to see the time and relative volume. You might then be able to work out where noise comes from.
Great work everyone👍🏼 Nice that the men agreed to come all the way from Paris to help and Yanis got to spend some time with his friends. While doing some construction on a highway about a half hour away from us someone broke the electrical and fibre optics cables so we had no power for a day but it took several days to get the fibre optics cables repaired apparently reconnecting all those tiny glasses is tedium unknown. 😂🙋🏼♀️
I’ve never head a owl walk and open doors or rattle keys before😂 I think someone’s sneaking inn at night to sleep there. It be interesting to see if the noises continue when there are cameras all over the building . That would scare people off. The birds that made most of the noises in the attic will not care. But the sounds in the room with the wring in the wall , really sounded like a person.. I’m guessing they’ll catch someone on camera at one point..
Oh how absolutely wonderful that Yanis and his friends could help! That is so beautiful to see. The world still has amazingly, wonderful people and their light shines ever so proudly. These videos are proof of that every week!
Physics: The enormous mass of the earth against the basement structure down there is keeping the thermal mass constant. 2nd & 3rd floor structure cools off (creaking, groaning & popping) faster at night, contracting far more than the high thermal mass at grade or below.
Since the local fiber optics company said they couldn't do the job, then Billy and Yanis had to wait until Yanis's friends could help out and it sounds like they would not be available during the week when they are working at their jobs with another fiber optics company. Maybe only available on the weekend. (not to sound like a know-it-all - I'm just guessing! 🙂 )
