I just realised that having Alex there gives Billy a buddy. Always feel like its so lonely for Billy behind the camera filming then editing when this is his project. Love seeing him in front of the camera working which he clearly enjoys 😊 But it's also the constant chatter with Alex, Billys thought process and explanations that I really enjoy. Well done everyone another productive day 👏👏
He mentioned in an earlier video that he was going to cover the windows on the inside to protect them from the sandblasting. At the same time workers were cutting up the wall panels being removed in the hallway. Why couldn't those panels have been used to cover the windows before being cut up?
Alex, we need an hour of that beautiful, misty convent exterior, with the sound of rain from each vantage. We may as well have a proper 'sleep' video from the place we've come to love.
In one of the English castles, they have secret cupboards in the wide doorways. You could put cleaning supplies in the space you have. Hoovers and dusting items , so they are close to where they are needed.
Alex, your work is much appreciated. The mood shots, the helmet cams that get us right into the action, and the many creative camera angles, all make for an amazing video.
1)Mick is maybe the fittest strongest 80 yr. old on the planet 2)I smile at the working relationship between Mick, Rick and Yannis. All 3 of them have found their piece of the working demo team.
I used to work in an assisted living facility and they had the same tile work in the restrooms that you are covering up. I'm so glad because every time I see it I can smell where I used to work! Ernest needs a clip board to go with the hard hat as he is clearly the new project supervisor!! Thanks so much for sharing and caring so much about saving the Convent, you are all an inspiration
I think Simon is going to be astonished to see all of the completed work on the convent when he returns. He interned Yanis to be his clone when he is not there. Yanis is a quick learner. I see how much he looks up to you Billy and the respect he has for Mick as well with all of his knowledge. Rick, Yanis and Mick work so well together. They made easy work of that upstairs hall.
I think that your father is looking younger. I think the work is renewing his youth, somewhat. I love to see you all working together. Thongs are really moving along. Great work to you all!!
Love the way Alex is filming! Billy talking away (mostly thinking out loud), Yannis and his awesome surge of confidence, the gorgeous filming and editing❣🇨🇦
Looks like you are going to be very busy over the next couple of weeks. You have a great team behind you and your new mini supervisor will keep the project running smoothly. 🇨🇦❤️🙏
Just think how much Ernest is taking in-so much building tasks that he will already know when he gets a bit older-just like I am sure his Dad and Uncle learned from Ernest’s Granddad.
Alex - your camera work is incredible ❤. So nice to have you back 👍 I love seeing Mick & Yanis together… their relationship is so endearing ❤ Billy , this is really starting to take shape ! You have the best team ever !!!
Billy and the Knights of the Round table. I'm wedding crashing if you do open for weddings. I just have to learn how to say, "I'm with the brides family" in French. The convent is giving you every challenge. Crack on!!!
I love hearing how Billy's mind works. He has the vision in his head, maps all the things necessary to accomplish it, and brings it to life. I am always amazed at how big he dreams, kind of like King Louis XIV building Versailles.
The large space between walls of dining room and library would be normal for the double door system you plan. Just as it was done in big country homes and stately houses.
This is so terrific! The progress here is absolutely incredible!!! Thank you for always sharing such amazing content. The Pethericks video is just what my family and I needed. We are sheltering in a horrific storm. Tornado has touched down and we are sheltering on place. Praying for everyone's safety who is experiencing terrible weather, or weathering a storm in life.
Our Elf on the Shelf left after Christmas. I thought it went to the North Pole but I’m thinking it’s having a party each night in your attic instead. ❤
I love all you guys.. Young and old working together.. That’s how I was raised also.. With all the noise of productivity.. Young Ernest already making you proud.. 💜
I love the way Billy gets so creative to overcome building hurdles like the banana beam! Great solution. Seeing the work from Yanis’ point of view is interesting, but boy does the movement give me motion sickness!
Have you considered having the library doors open against the sidewalls of the mini void/passageway instead of into the middle of the library? This could be accomplished by flipping the doors around in their current position so they open out toward the dining room, or having them open into the library from the dining room wall.
I have not been able to watch lately and I do not recognize Billy 😮My my what have you been doing the hard work has reduced your appearance then? This entire project has become a palace what a great job you all are doing ITS BEAUTIFULLY DONE
I would happily be a passenger at this BEAUTIFUL hotel in France in the future. And I would tell some other passengers about this remodelation process while having breakfast at that wonderful dining room, at the GORGEOUS doble height library, and at the lovely Park.
Noticed you tapping in the stud with your boot. Watch out for that, I used to that when working in a shipyard in my teens. I'm now in my sixties and I still have a tendency toward ingrown toenails on my previous kicking foot.
Billy, in the false wall that you are making behind the bookshelves, would be a great place for a storage cupboard for a mop and bucket and a vac etc. As im sure cleaning will need to be done at times in the library. Would make life easier than dragging things around such a big building.
Yannis you right it looks and feel like it is December, cold and wet, hope we will get a late warm summer…Billy I adore your kitchen, every time with the light on, it is breathtaking, so beautiful, maybe Gordon Ramsey will came cook for your hard working guys…
Sounds like a great plan Billy. Love hearing your thought process and running through it as well. I understand a bit better as well. Funny you mentioned a dark rainy day there, guess what we have too, rain!!! thankfully. It has been so hot here the past week. Have a great day Billy and "Crack On" team.
You get so much wonderful rain there, and it's so pretty and green. I only dream of living in a place where there's green things to look at. Things are moving quickly. Hope you finish in time for the sand blasting.
A small library should have a theme or two. What kind of books besides general books do you plan to hunt and have. Also if I had rooms that were voluminous and young children I'd have a game room. Billiards, foosball, air hockey the boys will love it as teens.
Billy, I look forward to urgent videos each day. I'm so excited for Simon and Rick to be with you. I think of u as my boys and love watching all of u together soon. Crack On. Hugs❤
Billy you are brilliant the way you are created a dry riser in the void (that’s what we call them down under), and at the same time giving the illusion of a thick stone wall between the rooms. It’s very clever. Love your work ❤
The deep wall you need to have an access door to the cavity. Then, you can store folded tables and chairs in the cavity area. Making a great storage area.
Thank you for another great video. It's wonderful watching your dream and engineering come into existence! Your passion for this project is contagious, I love watching.❤
Gosh you are having a pretty rainy day. Hope this helps your fathers potatoes. In Illinois are 🌪 and earthquakes seem to be the menu of the week. Blessings ahead.
@@catherinefromchristchurchn6508 I spoke too soon, Tornado hit again last night. No power, broken homes, lawn equipment , frightened farm animals... but It all can be fixed.
@@elizabethbesco4758 oh dear. Hopefully that's the end of it. I hope you're in a lovely community that will make sure everyone has what they need and that everyone is coping okay. Best wishes.
Billy. That meter-thick wall you’re building has great potential for built in cabinet/storage cubbyhole spaces for keeping things needed in the dining room.
