A Discovery In The Convent's Attic

[@edwardolsen3925]

Billy, I can tell you exactly where those panels with the lilies, and the panels in the same color scheme as the Chapel come from. What you are turning into the Bar, was the nun's cloister where the nuns would have attended Mass and sung the Office before Vatican II. Since the nuns were not allowed to sit in the congregation in the nave of the Chapel, they had the cloister area separated from the rest of the Chapel by a wood and iron grille and choir stalls for the nuns. The panel with the lilies would have been the base of the grille on one side of the arch into the Chapel and there would have been a matching one on the other side, with an Ironwork gate in the middle for the nuns to receive Communion at. The panels that match the colour scheme of the Chapel were the fronts of the choir stalls for the nuns. They would have been three rows facing each other across the Chapel with an aisle down the middle. Each row would have been higher up than the one in front. This would allow the nuns to sing the Pslams in an antiphonal response style. The Bar/Cloister would have matched the decoration scheme of the Chapel in its entirety. I hope this helps.

Edwardolsen! That is fantastic!!! I love learning the history. I have watched from before Billy got the keys! My absolute favorate youtube channel!! ❤❤

[@annaibarra3447]

Wonderful, thanks for sharing.

[@AmyLouiseDens]

Yes! Very much as depicted in the wedding scene in The Sound of Music, right?

[@sueregan2782]

Also, In 1 Kings 2, the building of the Temple described the lilies of the valley being on the capitals of the pillars.

[@elizacroghan4302]

Wow! Thank you for sharing this great knowledge.

[@whiterabbit1824]

Omg Ryan’s ALIVE!!!!

[@sherilynl4038]

!!!!!!! that was my reaction...and he knows it. hee hee hee hee

[@h_williams1221]

Thank goodness. Hello Ryan!!!❤ I think he’s teasing us…he knows we miss him. Little stinker. 😂

[@Robin-xr2tz]

Yaaaaaaa a Ryan sighting

[@pollytiks3885]

What a coincidence that he should show up just when everyone is asking about him. 🤔 😉

[@Robin-xr2tz]

@@pollytiks3885 that’s our Ryan

[@rhondaregister8081]

Oh my goodness, Ryan visited! Been wondering where he's been! Are we going to get a chance for a Simon interview before he leaves? Ryan could do it and I'm sure it would be a hoot!

[@Cindi-j7c]

YES PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@EVDaysOut]

Ryan is great at interviewing

[@AC949]

Ryan is such a bright light! Great to see him! Love the whole crew.

[@divaden47]

Heard through community that he'd been in Thailand.

[@carladejonge4951]

Ryan! Yay! He’s back! Taking over the camera for Billy? It would sure be fun having you around!❤

[@YeBeWarnedArtists]

Doing a fabulous job! Enjoying every minute! Your team is amazing!!! Love seeing every second of the progress!! Oh my!! 😮 Ryan is back! 🥳

[@rjspain56]

I agree, Ryan's back!@

[@micheledenise2305]

Billy get Michael to pour silicone molds and recreate the lilies on the door the ones missing!!! He is making the missing tiles 😊

[@EVDaysOut]

Great idea

[@cyndicunanan400]

Or get a local woodworker to carve the missing pieces.

[@busterdee8228]

Simon thinks like an archaeologist.

[@MizmoSC]

Back to the music! 👏👏👏

[@maizie9454]

i love this music!

[@patsycovino5222]

I was wondering why Alex doesn't use music for his video's.

[@katiebaldwin40]

Surprise! Great to see Ryan alive and well.😊

[@heehaw8401]

What a brat he is! Hi Ryan!

[@murlthomas2243]

It’s nice to see Ryan alive and well! Wondering what had happened to him.

[@homerooster4022]

Beer o’clock on a Thursday! And a sneak peak of Ryan!

[@RainboCatz]

I usually say "beer-thirty!"

[@NathalieBruneteauJoseph]

Lilies are traditionnally used to honor Mary! It's probably the reason why there were some on the panelling.

[@tonyspain2]

And St Joseph who is traditional holding one.

[@RainboCatz]

I posted much the same!

[@connieworcester55]

Cheers Yanis, Simon, Billy, and Mick. Great work..

[@TheLovelyRebecca]

Oh my goodness! Seeing Ryan made me smile from ear to ear. So glad to see him ❤. I love the music, too 🎉

[@jillberry2802]

Cameo apperance of the elusive Ryan .

[@elizabethbrandel6165]

Bricko should love you all.

[@idontwantachannel7542]

I always imagine Bricko is happy to see Billy and crew the way Professor Auguste Balls is happy to see Clouseau 😂

[@jacquelinenoble6640]

Hey Ryan!!!😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@philbisi2057]

And Ryan at the end! BRILLIANT!!! 🎉

[@cindywagner8024]

Wow. Feeling emotional seeing Ryan. I'm subscribed to his channel, and I didn't realize how much I've missed him. You have exquisite taste. Love the chandeliers, the exposed beams, paint color, all of it. Looking forward to watching the library evolve.

[@roseharvey2664]

Guess who's back! It's great to see Ryan pop up again.

[@BerylMatcham]

Great progress , cheeky Ryan at the end xx very nice lads , crack on xx 🎉🎉🎉

[@joannebolton1]

Ry! You're back... 🎉

[@pamelawright1369]

Welcome back Ryan!

[@richardfearn6638]

And just like that Ryan turns up.

[@JacobC365]

Todays end pose 10/10 - Beer, the finest lads and Ryan! Just want to mention how impressed I am with Billys steady camera work considering he is holding the camera in one hand and a beer in the other👍🤗

[@pattysands564]

Ryan! Glad to see you!

[@cindym4946]

Great to see Ryan again!

[@BettyKoehler-zg5sv]

Daily updates are great! The work your team has accomplished is absolutely amazing!! WONDERFUL to see Ryan!! He looks fit and glad to be toasting his buddies! Love from Pennsylvania, USA 💕🌷🐻

[@jacquelinenoble6640]

Well done, everyone. Things are really getting exciting now. 😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@ThatGirlinLoveland]

How is Yanis still single? The man is winner, cooks, can pour a drink, great with kids, animals and his work ethics. Hope his Princess finds him soon.

[@Kevakazii]

Maybe he just enjoys the single life. Theres a lot of benefits.

[@jamesb6080]

A lot of people these days prefer to remain single.

[@dankelly8632]

Ryan, you are still alive!

[@danawhite9823]

Ryan showing up at the end absolutely cracked me up!

[@deltafaycruickshank8083]

Billy, loving the music!!! Wow!! Ryan has been resurrected. ❤

[@marshabentley5276]

GREAT to see Ryan!!!! And you all ARE making great progress!

[@karinconradi876]

So very, very nice work. I really enjoy watching the progress. To Day I heard Billy talk about the bedrooms upstairs, I personally struggle with the everending corridor. I suggest you break it up by not using all bedrooms. Let some be open as small snugs with a little sofagroup. That would also bring more natural light into the corridor.

[@kathleenrobson1803]

Lovely to see Ryan 😁😁

[@thudson4407]

YAY!! RYAN!!! There you are!!!! So very happy to see you stranger, glad to see you're doing well. We were getting a bit worried about you.

[@CasbahD]

Who was the tall guy at the end? He seems familiar, but.....

[@susanhopkins5827]

Ryan!!! So happy to see you!

[@ginetteregimbal4882]

🇨🇦👋 Love the daily updates. Having built my home, I know how the tedious work takes time without grandiose rewards … until you see the room completing! Thanks for taking along!

[@user-Mike755]

Be sure to put that insulation where we can move it three or five times!

[@rmur4820]

Ryan!!! Glad to see he is well. I wouldn't worry about comments, it's your show from top to bottom. Crack on!

[@annetunstall967]

The lily represents purity, the Virgin Mary and represent the moment the spirit leaves the body and also represents St Anthony. This is just the religious part of the meaning.

[@RainboCatz]

I posted much the same!

[@SheilaBaron-f5f]

3rdish wow never done that before love the .music

[@wendyrose8430]

Gosh Ryan nice to see your cheeky grin. Thought maybe you were AI meme 😂😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@paulsackett3613]

Great intro. I was reminded again how nice the organ looks in your chapel.

[@elizabethbrandel6165]

Where has Ryan been?

[@Ideas336]

Billy do not get any ideas about once a week videos! lol. I am sure I am not the only one that looks forward to your videos. Crack on, you guys are doing a great job!!!

[@annaibarra3447]

Yes!!! AGREE!!!!

[@annieoconnor9778]

Ah Ryan, I have been wondering how you are, lovely to see you 🙏🏻🇬🇧

[@joanneclose7041]

Ryan!

[@suediprose7623]

I think you do loads and make such great progress, well done all of you. X

[@karenm3822]

Ryan we’ve missed you. Billy don’t worry about what people say about the renovation it’s going great.

[@zeenatbaer138]

Yay Ryan !!

[@valeriemcclain9001]

Lilies are a symbol of purity, rebirth and hope. Appropriate for the convent.

[@RainboCatz]

I posted much the same!

[@jeanlilley3139]

The lily panel would be nice restored and put in a frame to display, Maybe, in the library or a hallway.

[@johnmccormick-fl1pg]

Billy, for the first floor in the convent, did you ever consider having the hallway along the side, along the windows. This would give you much larger rooms up there, and NO DARK long hallway, instead, a beautiful sun light hallway. Maybe a lounge to break up the “Dormitory “ look. With pictures on the wall and seating in the windows to look over the pool and garden ? Just thinking, space is not a problem for you. Great to see Ryan ! Miss him too !

[@ErikZidowecki]

That is his plans. He's mentioned it a few times.

[@mictss6602]

Ryan!!!

[@daisylovelock9553]

😂😂😂 Billy🤣🤣🤣

[@Ladybethannhollenbeck]

Thank you for featuring Ryan today. I was getting concerned for his well-being. Kisses to all, especially Ryan

[@kathymarshall220]

I absolutely adore how you all (and Ryan) handle the trolls and snide comments with both grace and humour! 😊

[@DebraCarey-r8c]

I JUST went to Ryan's channel before watching this and asked for an update on Ryan, and POOF, there he is! So glad to see him.

[@adriannecote5319]

I look forward to the videos every day. Makes me smile every morning. I try to hop on as soon as possible after you upload it. Crack on guys.

[@aldavis5328]

[@kathyboshart7695]

[@SoledadSolary]

❤😂 me too! So happy to see him.

[@AC949]

[@isabelmendi3973]

I think Billy is managing this building project phenomanally. Bravo! The crew is outstanding, to say the very least. ❤ 🎉

[@chillnophone2024]

🍻 to seeing Ryan!! ❤ 🎉

[@csjMH]

the pannels might have been the ballustrade, the parts that prevent you from falling down

[@RainboCatz]

Wasn't there a door knob on there. I was thinking it was half of a double door set.

[@suzannevenditti2514]

Thank you for showing Ryan. I was getting worried

[@IrenevandenBerg-o5k]

OMG the illustrius Ryan showes up again.

[@inkmetal1]

omg the elusive Ryan. Yanis finally has a tray.

[@AC949]

I wondered if he borrowed the tray from the local Pub! 😂 Or They have a Tap on site somewhere.

[@edwardolsen3925]

PS. The Lilie is the symbol of St. Joseph the Patron of the nuns.

[@seesea-sv3xw]

Lilies associated with death, maybe from that room where they'd have family viewing of dead nuns.

[@mirjambernaards1982]

Do you have a layout of the convent. I'm very curious about what's where when you're working on it.😊

[@LeslieFitzpatrick-j6j]

We love the daily videos! We would be in withdrawal if they were only once a week!

[@carolfaberpeake857]

🎉 great job; yes it all costs but it will be worth it 🎉

[@peterscott3551]

Love the channel, just wondering what has happened to your best mate Ryan.

[@JaxonsDd007]

He is in the vlog😉

[@peterscott3551]

Yeah just finished watching it now

[@MollyPlaskett]
