[@Xazoutje]

3 generations Pethericks working together, moments to cherish and luckily they are immortalized on camera. The complicity between Simon and Yannis is really showing, so nice to see the new skills that are passed on from master to student. It is really great that the grandparents are getting a helping hand, please help them out with all the rooms, the convent is great but won't run away, and with all the helping hands the house will go really quickly.

[@reladie]

Bring the boys over so they can get in in on the action. Four generations!

[@davidbirrell8964]

Grandfather isn't a Petherick, he's Billy's maternal Grandfather and is only a little bit older than Billy's Dad.

[@gilldunn7196]

Not sure Grandad is a Petherick? Isn’t he Sherrie’s dad? But I know what you mean - all pull together.

[@justinanovak8040]

Agree it’s wonderful to see this work happen for your grandparents. Amazing how quickly things can move when you have a group of hard working professionals.

[@enoughalready8337]

@@davidbirrell8964that doesn't change anything. Maternal, fraternal, he is still Billy's Grandfather. You have a son, father and grandfather among friends and family friends, making it a very special experience...... especially FOR BILLY.

[@IreneSonni]

Nice to see everyone working to get the house ready for your grandparents Billy

[@squirrelswithpearls]

What a wonderful gift that Billy's able to give his dear granddad! And the crew is 100% first class!

[@janiceevans]

I just love the way Simon has the patience to take his hand and show Yanis how to apply the mudd. So cool❤

[@timfoote2874]

Being patient with an Apprentice is a fabulous quality. Years ago I would have learned the Masonry and brick/ block trade, but the craftsman that I was assigned to was such an awful person to work with, I didn't get very far.

[@jenniferstrachan7084]

Absolutely Passing on one’s skills is so important if we are to keep traditional ways of life

[@erinwiebe7026]

It's nice to see Rick back with the team. I hope he's doing well!

[@TheTheatrefan]

Yeah! Welcome back, Rick!🤗

[@3Goddesses333]

Yes indeed, Welcome back Rick!!! 🎉❤

[@CQuinnLady]

My old heart was all a flutter when rick brought his beautiful smile back to the channel.

[@catherinemushaw1956]

Welcome back, Rick!!

[@nadine_ghc3465]

Another day of The Incredibles knocking out renovations like nobody's business. I have so much admiration and respect for what fine craftsmen are on the team. Simon is so competent, no nonsense and efficient. I so enjoy this channel.

[@lindabaker2905]

Great tag, “The Incredibles”! Indeed!

[@jacquelinenoble6640]

Billy, you come from a wonderful family and are truly blessed to have a great group of friends. It warms my heart to see the help for your grandparents. If only we were all as fortunate. Bless you all. 😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@sammcturk8898]

I think we should all celebrate Gwendolyn 🎉 Just think all this is because of one Amazing woman and the dream of what could be 🤩 Now we have four generations of Pethernicks and some of the most amazing craftsmanship renovating some of the most beautiful places in France ❤ Giving all of us a daily joy watching the process 🥂 Cheers to you Gwen 🌹Billy you are one lucky man! Enjoying watching from Vancouver 🇨🇦 crack on all and thank you for taking us with you on your journey ✨

[@davidbirrell8964]

It's only three generations of Pethericks as it's Billy's maternal Grandfather. Billy's Grandfather is only a few years older than Dad Mick.

[@beckysimeone4882]

Ernest has worked for Dad with Simon and Yanis at the Convent - 1,2,3 generations of Petherick men. I am assuming Ernest and Archie bear the Petherick surname even though Gwen and Billy aren't married. Does it work that way in England and France? Not really concerned about surnames or relationships, because love is what makes the world go round and all these are lovely people

[@enoughalready8337]

It is a very special experience, regardless of Billy's father's age compared to Billy's Maternal Grandfather's age. These two men are still Billy's Father and Grandfather, making 3 Generations of a Family coming together (amongst friends and family friends) to get this project done FOR FAMILY.

[@bsteele7239]

That’s a great little house except for the stairs- not very practical for an 86 year old.

[@sammcturk8898]

I included the children they might not be restoring anything but they are a part of everything

[@barbarawoodworth620]

As an 81 y o woman I’m impressed and heart touched that you all have quickly jumped in to help the grandparents in this wonderful move. Of course they are reaping the best of the best but the biggest gift is the presence of all these first class men.

[@jannieauch1953]

You have a fantastic resource in your father and grandfather. They have taught you well.

[@suemccoy7533]

Granddad must be over the moon getting all the professional help from Team Petherick! I have to say Yanis will be the next Jack of all Trades if Simon keeps instructing him. Wow, it is so nice to see Rick back on the team. We missed him very much! It is just so fun watching all the the jobs switching around everywhere from the convent to the tip, to Granddad's and now maybe in the garden too. Billy, there is never a dull moment with Team Petherick. Alex you are doing such a super job of filming all this construction, restoration, trips to the tip etc. Crack On guys!

Love seeing the Dream Team doing home renovations. Lucky to be able to do for grandparents💕

[@Carolbearce]

Awesome team helping fix up your grandparents house. Well done team.

[@ruthkendall5486]

Let’s also remember MO’s and Sadie’s hard work getting it to this stage!

[@davidbirrell8964]

I think that Yanis also helped them earlier

[@elbaortiz-bq9iq]

These group of men have my respect helping grandpa is something emotional 👏🏻❤️

[@tonagilvarry6852]

In Irish we would call your group a meithal (working group to help another). I just love the family values you all share, oh and the great craftsmanship.

[@tamarrajames3590]

Surgical precision defines everything Simon does…he is truly a master craftsman. All of you are aces…but Simon’s calm, directed, and explained approach puts everyone on the same page, with no wasted time or materials. He is simply, and humbly brilliant. Yanis gamely jumping in where needed…but yielding his hand to Simon’s gentle guidance so muscle memory will absorb the motion is a thing of beauty.🖤🇨🇦

[@eidlog65]

Something so special to see 3 generations working together.

[@davidbirrell8964]

It's Billy's maternal Grandfather.

[@enoughalready8337]

Yes. You are absolutely correct. It's very special. No matter Mic's age, to BILLY there are 3 Generations there; his father, his grandfather (maternal or not, still his grandfather🙄) and himself.

Simon, Master Magician…Yannis, the magician’s Apprentice! Billy has put together the A-Team of all time!

[@andreacrashe9894]

*Simon is a master of all trades... Plasterer, builder & painter as well as many other trades. He takes his time to get all things right. 🙂 He is also a teacher as he patiently teaches Yanis how to do things too. However, I did laugh when the rubbish bag just tore apart as Yanis went to lift it up off the truck. Yanis is such a hard worker & is willing to learn everything that he puts his hand too. Alex's filming is fabulous, as he has an eye for filming & I imagine photography too. 🙂.*

[@alisonhobson9875]

Hello from Canada. I so enjoy watching this channel, Billy. It's my daily KZbin fix. I love to see the progress you are making on the renovation whether it be in the Convent, the Chateau or the Stables but I think what warms my heart most of all is the way that you all help each other when it's needed. The way you all showed up at your Grandparent's future home to get it ready for them was a joy to witness. Also I would like to raise a glass to Alex for his first rate filming. Just super!

[@ehpeachylove]

Ditto all that you stated.

[@adriannecote5319]

Your Granddad, dad and you are all hard working! Must be an inherited trait. No sitting in front of a TV all day for you guys. Soon you will be getting your boys working and you will have 4 generations of hardworking guys. Love your family unity.

[@davidbirrell8964]

It's only three generations of Pethericks and it's Billy's maternal Grandfather.

[@enoughalready8337]

Yes, this Family is extremely hard working, I agree. That Billy's Father and Grandfather (maternal or not🙄) gave that trait to their children/grandchildren makes it even more special.

[@enoughalready8337]

@@wiggy3333 😂😎 Nope. I replied each time I saw such rubbish. As if the age difference between someone's father and grandfather along with them coming from your maternal or fraternal side diminishes their status in one's family. Absolute nonsense.

[@wiggy3333]

@@enoughalready8337 But why do you care? You are the “enough already lady”. Isn’t saying it just once, enough? Why are you trolling every comment that says something about it? It is your belief of what generations in a family means, but it is not necessarily everyone else’s . So, let the people who believe differently than you have their own opinion. What makes them wrong and you right? Or rather what they say is rubbish and what you say isn’t?

I’m just like “WOW”! I’m so impressed with everything that Simon does and the other men of the team too. I don’t know why but I got real emotional watching the me. Work on the door and getting the clean up done in the garage. But in thinking about it, maybe it’s because I’ve never had this kind of support or anyone that helped me and I’m 75 . What a fabulous group of men who the Pethericks have around them as well as being their friends. I see where the Pethericks boys and Sadie get their work ethics from… both dad and grand dad are still very busy and active too. Love this whole lot. Rick great job on the painting, Simon you are the BEST your coving is top notch. The color in the bedroom is a lovely color. I’m sure Billy that your grand parents are very thankful for all the help they are getting so they can move in. And congratulations on their property selling. This house will be so much easier to take care of too. Much love and respect to you all. ❤❤❤
