There is nothing that Yanis won't do! From retrieving a drone stuck high in a tree to crawling in dark, tight spaces under the convent. YANIS, YOU DA MAN!!!
Remember along side the old altar location, there was a section of flooring that looks like it had been filled in? The thought was it may lead to the catacombs under the chapel. Maybe that arch structure was an outside entrance into those catacombs also?
Billy you have a knack for finding the best people for helping you to make your dream projects a reality. While we often take time to praise the team we often forget to praise you for your vision and you are the cement that binds all together. Crack on team.😊
Yanis ' work ethic is so wonderful and his ability to learn new things paired with wanting to learn new things is priceless ...before u know it he will be skilled in all things renovation/upkeep and u all will have a 24/7 property maintenance manager to help u all care for all the homes chateaus ,convents in the family... i think he will be a valuable person in all ur families lives to keep around for a long time .not just b/c of those things but he seems to be very kind and a joy to be around ..u all might as well as adopt him as family member at this point an honorary brother, son ,uncle, etc...let the adoption ceremonies begin... crack on everyone !!! and have a blessed day !!!
Yanis certainly isn't afraid to get hands dirty. That was certainly exciting. When you see spaces like that under the ground, the imagination goes walkabouts. Great video 👏👏🙏
Yannis is a sponge when it comes to learning new things. His English is improving every day and his quest for knowledge will serve him and others very well. Rick is a joy to have around with his happy disposition. Have a safe trip Billy and Phil. 🙏❤️
Well, we now have a new value of measurement. One standard Yanis. Yep, I can see it now; 2 guys determining how much flooring to buy, one worker turns to the other and states that the square footage measures 4.7 standard Yanis. Works for me.
Absolutely agree about Rick being so valuable. He seems to be able to do anything, and always has a cheery smile. And it's wonderful to see Mick still getting in there too. Yanis is incredible as always, and Michael is doing a wonderful job on that lower kitchen and the terrace. Clive is a great plumber and will be the right mentor for Yanis, just as Simon is. Your videos, Billy, are excellent and I love your choice of music.
Yannis is fearless, he climbs to the top of a tree to rescue a drone and crawls down the depths of the convent trenches. He’s amazing!! Safe trip, Billy. xx
I am so beyond impressed with Yannis! He is such an incredible young man & so up to learning EVERYTHING he can about EVERYTHING! All the skills he's acquiring, his comprehension of English! Keep it up Yannis, we love seeing you. A great group of men to watch, our Billy, Michael, their Dad, Rick, Yannis & Simon. You've accomplished so many wonderful restoration/renovations in both the Convent & the Chateau! All such beautiful articulate work. Thank you for sharing with all of us in 'RU-vid' land. :D 'LET'S CRACK ON!'
Yanis has no fear he is a very inquisitive man always wanting to learn, How interesting what is below the building . Glad the leak was not to bad and now fixed😘
As I proposed a few videos ago. And now that you are buying a new camera. Use that camera to take a look into the crypt, through the window/air vent. Maybe we can see if the crypt is empty or full of dirt.
I wonder if there is any documented history in Ernee about underground tunnels for hiding or escaping. Really enjoyed this video. Have a safe but fun road trip with Phil. X❤😊
Oh my goodness Yanis is amazing I love what you all are doing . I am from New Zealand i have been watching you all for a long time now I am a mother of 5a grandmother a geart grandmother and i am 84 years old and i love what you are doing ❤
I immediately thought of what you confirmed straight away Billy, Yanis is interested in learning plumbing! Janis, such an eager learner, he's becoming an 'Allroundman'! And for the arch, perhaps it is a reminder of a foundation predating the convent? An archeology project in sight...?
My great grandmother had a big old Victorian house and the one room was a dumping ground for antiques etc. We called it Sanfords room after the 70’s US TV show called Sanford and Sons. It was a comedy about a junkyard owner 🤣
Every time my husband has The outside garage and yard area messy or things are out of order. I can’t help but hum the intro to the song lol he gets the point after that
I wonder if their are buried treasures under those arches? would be interesting to see it all excavated underneath there,not that they need more work lol
Such a classic chill episode! Exploring! I'd be very surprised if this wasn't some sort of passage/cellar from a previous construction that's been built over multiple times. The fact it goes under the chapel is immensely intriguing. You could probably spend a month just excavating, same as at the Chateau with the tunnel system there. Very cool!
Agreed! I posted a comment recently admiring his ink, & looks like some new work on his sleeve? Very cool. I have been a Rick fan since early days, & really missed him when he wasn't able to be with the Pethericks for awhile.
It's possible there used to be a water course, but changing land use and/or diversion caused it to dry up so the entrance and exit were closed off. If so, old town records or old religious property records might be enlightening.
As this is the toilet block it may be a place where wast could acumulate and be dug out periodically,with town drains installed this contaminated space would be walled up ,as no longer required tank.
I’ll hold the light with Rick and hold my breath for Yanis. Holy smokes Yanis I was super happy when you came out of the hole. Dismantling the secret room then you find the hole. I wonder how many mysteries you are going to find.
The surrounding properties may have had different drainage back in the day, or a lack of, and the convent needed to keep more water moving out. Or maybe they wanted to move it in the direction of the garden to use it.
Lauralawrence4146 says it is a hypocaust, which was ancient Romans way of central heating (blowing hot air underground and piped up to the rooms above). Sounds plausable to me.
That opening shot says it all…when Yanis isn’t doing, he is watching like a hawk, picking up knowledge wherever he can. The journey below tells us he has as much love of a mystery as Simon, and he is fearless. It will be interesting to see what is actually down there when you dig it all out. I enjoyed this.🖤🇨🇦
I am glad you are looking at the foundations, as the building stands or falls due to the foundation! Seeing the pipes were PVC, I would think they just lopped off the old pipes and installed new for convenience. But it makes finding the old supply line harder!
