Thank YOU Billy for letting Simon be a part of the Petherick Family now n' sharing his project farm home with us...Im sure it will be amazing once you get it done...LOVE from Chicago
Love all the different reno projects, it is interesting to see how each one is restored with care and an update on the simple things that apply to the daily routine of living.
Caroline O Simon, may this home be a new beginning in your joyful and happy life in France. I have the utmost respect for BRITS who bravely bring mansions, farm houses, and chateaus back to their true glory. Congratulations! With Love! 🥰♥
The camera likes Simon! Can’t wait to see him start his project. Thanks Billy for allowing Simon time on your channel to discuss his plans for renovating his place.😊
This is why I love your channel. Your a big family all helping each other with your hearts in the right place. It's not about money it's about your love for each other and your adopted country. I didn't realise that the riots were so far reaching.
Yes, a great project Simon that will make a wonderful home. And yes, reuse those troughs. Would make great shelving or kitchen cupboards or even seating benches with tops on. Looking forward to seeing it progress. 👏🏻👏🏻🥰 Crack on eh!
Simon is a natural You Tube host. I will enjoy seeing his renovating on his farmhouse. Thank you for all the wonderful videos and your consideration for others. :)
I am just a senior lady from America who enjoys learning about historical home facts and following different construction methods. You are both good instructors.
Same with me, other than I'm an old man, only use a phone, no computer. It's very interesting to see how others live across the pond, not just in the UK, but that of France.
Ditto, I'd love to renovate a project, but as a single older lady, while I've helped with projects, I don't possess the skill set or physical strength to take on something so major, myself.
Don't worry Simon - the toilet and the house look fine. We are two women who are renovating a farmhouse ourselves, and we've enjoyed learning how to plaster from you! xx
When Simon mentioned that he is restoring an old farmhouse I thought, ooh I'd like to see that. I can't wait. I hope he starts a YT channel so we can see the progress.
What a handsome building. Nice proportions and beautiful dressed-stone corners - humble but definitely not rough. Just lovely. Thank you Billy and Simon.
Wow. That is going to be SUCH a nice place to live when Simon is done... It's not so bad now. Good Bones. Thanks to Alex & Billy and, of course, Simon! 👏🙏✌️😊🌻🇺🇲
Billy thank you for making this extra video and for spotlighting Simon’s project! Simon when you are finished with your project, it’s going to make a great and beautiful home for you! Love the area and the view from the swing! Thanks for sharing your dream and for teaching Yanis a new skill that will create new opportunities for him!
LOL Simon, not every woman is such a shrinking violet these days. Your project will look beautiful someday. I loved seeing the peg work. Thanks so much for shwing us around. You have such a laid back way of describin things and I'm sure that the beautiful views of the valley will suit you perfectly. Bonne chance!
Thanks Billy, Simon and Alex. You made my wish come true....proves you read the comments. Simon, that farmhouse of yours is going to be a beautiful home. It's a lot of work for just weekends. Looking forward to seeing your progress.
Simon no judgement I appreciate you for taking a diamond in the rough and will be amazing to see your professional work on your property and your creativity. Sending you positive energy … thank you for being me to your home.
Oh Simon this is awesome. I love your sense of humor mentioning the waiting chair and the privacy when using the toilet. This is a huge project but it will be amazing and the view is wonderful.
Simon, what a beautiful historic home. What you’ve done to date is beautiful restoration work! You have the skills/ talent to create a unique home in a gorgeous setting…may you find joy living there! Thank goodness you’re brining back this fabulous home.
Thanks for taking us on a tour of Simon's Renovation Project, Billy! What a beautiful property with so much potential. Looking forward to seeing the new windows!
Hi Billy and Simon, I can't wait to see Simon renovation project as he continues on to get it done. I just love him, his calm demeaner and soothing voice. Thanks, Billy for giving him a platform to showcase his property.
I see Simon's project as a stunning retreat.... It will take time, but, I can see his plan and it will be elegant and ageless! Peace in his garden....... and a swing!
Definitely going to watch Simon resurrect this gorgeous property. Lots of potential, wish I was handy to volunteer to help renovate. So crack on Simon!
Same here. I've lived in the country my entire life, and in the country one must make do with some rather primitive things at times. That though? Beautiful! Not primitive at all.
Your toilet and shower are PERFECT! As a primitive camper, years ago, we had to make our own toilet & shower… We upgraded to a 32’ Travel Trailer (caravan), 3 years ago, with modern amenities including A/C. Excited to see the transformation begin. ❤
Simon it it fabulous. I can see the potential. Cozy night in, the fireplace is wonderful as is the upstairs. Oh I can’t wait to see the improvements you make. Happy days, enjoy it. Thanks for showing us. Billy I too love Leroy Merlin, it is an amazing store, and the staff are soo helpful.
Simon…Luv, Luv your cottage. Please keep us updated as you progress with your restoration. Your fireplace is absolutely gorgeous. This Texas gal is so envious of all the beautiful chateaus and cottages that you have the opportunity to restore and call home!
Loved seeing your project Simon. You are just what the building needs to bring it to life. This is another old duck who doesn’t see the house as it is just the fun you will have making it your own. Good luck👍👍
Simon your place has so much charm and potential. I can tell from the work you've already done that you are true professional and it's going to be awesome. Can't wait to see your progress! Btw. Your facilities were quite decent!
Good video Billy, I enjoy watching Simon and listening to his professional take on the subjects he talks about. Good luck Simon in your renovation. I’m sure it will look beautiful.
Love your new place, Simon, and look forward to seeing the progress. As a woman, I would live in it in a heart beat just the way it is. There is so much charm in this place, you’re very fortunate to have such a beautiful home and the setting is to die for, especially from the swing (maze and all) blessings to you, Simon, on this new journey and thanks for bringing us along.👌🥰🙏
Beautiful views, so much potential there for someone like this who has so much ability and such wonderful attention to detail and craftsmanship. Love Simon’s dry wit…. waiting area for loo.🤭
Billy, you are blessed with knowing some wonderful people. We are blessed because you share their stories with us! I've been enjoying your channel for quite some time, but it just struck me today how good people attract good people. I am so grateful for the RU-vid world that allows us to be half way around the world and still share adventures.
No.1- The music is wonderful. No.2- Simon you explain everything in such an easy to understand way. No.3- the property is a history lesson on its own. No.4- The property is beautiful. No.5- The restoration is exciting. No.6- Crack on, I cannot wait to see your renovation work. No.7- You chose good friends and that is wisdom. God Bless you all.
that is going to be a beautiful little abode! great views, and a surprising amount of space inside. i think it’s wonderful that you’re all giving new life to these old buildings (which i just realized are older than my country!). can’t wait to see what you do with it!
When all is done, I think you'll have a very nice property. Buildings seem solid and I'm looking forward to watching your progress. Thanks for sharing. Thanks to Billy who is always so kind and thoughtful with his friends. Take care Simon !!
Simon has a way with storytelling, he connects you to the projects with concise directions on planning projects and he has taken on a beautiful old relic to fulfill them, oh my those walls and beams, I'm in love with that great room...what a beautiful home this will be with his vision, the sky is the limit...I'm rather enjoying seeing these men take on these projects of restoration and practicality...this is gonna be fun...!
Simon, I am a woman and I grew up with my father always renovating the old home. You have a charming, rustic old farm house there and I love it. I hope you do the bare minimum in your renovation. Leaving it with that old rustic charm with some modern amenities. Thank you for sharing your projects with us and I am looking forward to seeing your journey in renovating this place, because it already suits you. Just kiss it (keep it simple stupid).
Hi, Billy, enjoyed the blues number in the vlog opening and the fiddle tune later on. Alex, your landscape and sky shots through the vehicle's window were beautiful. As well as the very inventive shots during the unloading and placement of materials in the apartment. I could listen to you, Simon, talk forever, the way you explain the details is so good!! You are so concise, Simon, and comfortable on camera, no breaks or hesitations in your descriptions. Amazing!! Thank you, Simon, for the tour!! Chuck in Northern New England
Thank you for showing us your farm house renovation Simon. It's got gorgeous bones & I'm sure it will be beautiful once you've completed it. Looking forward to watching the progress x
I plan on enjoying more renovation and if it’s Simon or Ryan or Billie it doesn’t matter. I enjoy watching. This renovation will be interesting I think. The bread oven, the windows, the surrounding views, its all interesting. I will be watching for Simon’s videos.
Look forward to seeing your future projects, with watching your skills at the convent, i think your new renovation project is going to be excellent 😅 i noticed the comments all mostly of the older ladies and know doubt will be many more, the start of intro to your lovely little house reminds me of my home country in Wexford Ireland little cottages and grand barn conversion and green turf, so yes crack on Simon look forward your renovations at both the Convent and your home 🏡
Always enjoy Billy's convent videos, but I have to say I LOVE you farmhouse Simon. The beams are beautiful and cannot wait to see more of your renovation. Love the age of the farmhouse and the tour inside. I wish you many of success on the hard work you put in and will be watching to see it all. Thank you.
Simon reminds me of myself when I was contracting. Daily planner and a tape measure. Now at 79, only have tape measures in tool box, one on my desk, and one in each of my two trucks....aaah.... retirement!
So glad you are adding more Simon to your renovation videos! His gentle apprenticeship and encouraging ways of teaching is a pleasure to watch. Looking forward to seeing his Project come to life. Much love from Texas!
Simon beautiful old buildings love the stone work y did. Simon like Billey, Ryan, Micheal and all Billey's other friends and family you have to make a mess when remodeling to make it all better. Your house looks like it has good bones. What a great private corner you have for privacy.
