Breaking Down

[@jacquelynhollinger4006]

Chez Yanis is a wonderful recognition to a hard worker and friend. Bravo Billie.

[@Fillup1957]

I agree wholeheartedly.

[@nilo70]

Me too 😊

[@sarah.n.v.thoren]

i am stunned at how perfectly your dad leveled the yard, billy. he’s amazing! also, you got me all choked up when you told yanis you’re naming the bar after him….well done 💜

[@GwendolynTideman]

Cheers 🍺 Happy Friday 🎉

[@valeriehowden471]

Yanis could create a drink called 'Let's crack on'.

[@maryswainland]

@@valeriehowden471I love that idea!

[@terrydonald6149]

I'd love to try that drink.

[@EAP0804]

Love these guys so much! Thank you Billy for always being so thoughtful in respect to others. You clearly appreciate Yanis’s help very much ..what a lovely tribute to him..naming the bar after him. In a world gone so wrong, these videos are a beacon of light and love! Thank you!

[@debra-w2o]

Billy, another option for the stained glass doors is to suspend them from the ceiling. Back light them. Ambience for the bar😊

[@IreneSonni]

Love that idea!❤

[@lindajay8857]

That is a great idea!

[@juliejohnson-hunt7134]

I was going to suggest this.

[@phylliswalters89]

Great idea!!

[@marcyrennee]

Excellent idea that would have an amazing affect.

[@CherylSimser]

I think the Chez Yanis idea is marvelous and what a beautiful tribute to Yanis. The mouse with the beret , vest, and jacket is cute and eye catching. Also, hanging it out as a shingle is brilliant too! Yanis is so sweet:"Really?" he says. Ahhhh! Simon not kissing anyone or being kissed. How can that be? He is not only a magpie (I like magpies) but a sweetie-pie!

[@busterdee8228]

Chez Yanis, including the art work, is a keeper. Brilliant.

[@bonniehurkmans6585]

Simon, a man of many talents!

[@Raven-h7w]

I will so partake of the Chez Yanis! Yanis deserves this honor. Thank you Billy👏🏽👏🏽

[@lrogers8881]

The stain glass doors would look great as a backing to the bottles on the wall with a back light to see all the colors.

[@Flippin_Crazy]

Yessssssss!!!!

[@CherylSimser]

Oh, I think that would be great! and very pleasing to the eye!

[@petat13]

They’ve done that at a bar in my town and it looks amazing.

[@claireburkus8497]

Chez Yanis!!! Bet that will make his Momma proud..knowing he is so well thought of by all of you !!!🎉 🎉🎉

[@MaryLawrence-c8v]

I love Yanis,he deserves that honor.The mouse is perfect,it's a beautiful tribute to Yanis and all his do anything asked.

[@susankolpack7044]

An idea for the Stainglass windows, you could hang them independently in the upper levels of the library in the windows they would create beautiful lights among the books and artwork. When one would walk into the lower level of the library they would look up and be enchanted by the lights. You all are doing great work, you are amazing to watch every day you are accomplishing a great deal.‼️

[@bjbrown]

That is a great idea!​@@susankolpack7044

[@user-yz7ds7rn9b]

Simon and Yanis superb team!!!

[@labnurse1]

Aww, so nice to compliment Yanis. Well deserved.

[@maryestevez9356]

Aw, Chez Yanis! I’m grinning from ear to ear for this awesome tribute for Yanis. Billy you are so kind.

[@joannemacintyre251]

Smiling here! Love the homage to Yanis’ consistent hardwork and his willing to help with anything. So very nice.❤❤ (Billie, hope you had a glass too! 🤭”

[@Flippin_Crazy]

He just dives in!

[@Lucyannek7]

❤❤❤ love the bar tribute to Yanis, such a lovely idea Billy!

[@KAWeems]

What a sweet tribute to yanis !

[@Flippin_Crazy]

He is a def Keeper! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 🎉🎉🎉

[@danapratola]

Chez Yanis! Excellent!

[@tracyschaub1187]

Tell your dad the yard looks amazing🎉 I love naming the bar after Yanis.. so sweet 😊❤

[@deniceweihe]

Simon, laughing at Yanis, and your dad almost killing Simon with the digger, was the funniest thing ever. 😂

[@jbart5260]

the stain glass panels can be beautiful backbar wall. Back light them with LED lights That would give a nod to the former use of the room as a convent great room.

[@sandracunningham2689]

Che Yanis sign is perfect to honor Yanis.

[@kathleenhoffart1633]

The Chez Yanis sign is delightful!

[@ginetteregimbal4882]

❤️🇨🇦. Really, really love Chez Yanis! ❤

[@Margaux247]

Chez Yanis, how awesome! Have a great weekend!

[@Fillup1957]

Back in the early 1990s I visited a new place in Raleigh, North Carolina, that was being converted to a swanky bar. In that bar was an ornate wooden vintage western style bar complete with mirror, shelves and carvings. Your bar will look as strikingly stunning someday. The entire convent will be a venue of the upmost importance on a high Michelin scale.

[@robinkarsner980]

Billy your an incredible boss!!! Everyone that works at the convent and château seem to love the work and environment. You have done so much for each of them, especially Yanis, you will always have great friends in those who have helped you over the years. I absolutely love Simmon and Yanis and your lovely Dad. I have not missed one episode in 3 Years Naming the bar after Yanis brought tears to my eyes and heart. Can't wait to see the finished project. Kept up the great work!

[@conniecollins8281]

Billy, leave it to you to think of something special for everyone. You have such a big heart and you made tears fill my eyes when you decided to name it after Yanis...you are such a dear. Wish I were a part of your family...

[@Flippin_Crazy]

Yes he does have a big kind heart .

[@AliWade1971]

I haven’t commented for ages (I do watch the videos 😀), but the naming of the bar as Chez Yanis made me get on my keyboard. Lovely idea, Billy - and the sign is an added special touch (I assume that Michael’s fascination with mice influenced the design 🐁). Ali xx 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@judyl3492]

Love the sign with Yanis. Great compliment to a hard worker

[@icandivideos5743]

I always love your intro music Billy!

[@ClaraSunshine]

Always beautiful ❤

[@Linda-qd7me]

The Stain-glass doors are perfect for a bar - behind the bar. They add ambiance, festiveness, color.

[@marionryan582]

Lots of work done love the name of the new bar .👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏.

[@ej12349]

That is so cool that you are naming the bar after Yanis!

[@dorygeancunningham8027]

Chez Yanis…perfect!

[@Twistnsine]

It would be lovely to see the stained glass door in the bar area either hanging flat from the ceiling backlit, or behind the chesterfields backlit in some cool way 😍

[@janicekeyte9069]

Oh Billy what a lovely gesture. Chez Yanis sounds great.

[@shawneeroberts4592]

It is awesome that you allow Simon to recycle lights, doors, etc. into his home. Chez Yanis with the mouse is an amazing tribute to Yanis. Billy you have an amazing heart, You, Simon, Yanis, Rick, and your dad have me hooked to watch until the very completion of this project.

[@damealeta3541]

Aw, what a heartfelt tribute to Yanis! I love the artwork. Is that something Michael drew or a stock drawing? Either way it's adorable. Looking forward to more, more, more! Simon looks thrilled to be able to salvage some lighting and Rick downing half his glass of beer in one go was delightful! Your dad is busy making the garden look great while "breaking" the equipment! Have a wonderful weekend, all! 💚🍻🥂🍸🍷🍹

[@neild2148]

I was involved with a high profile building refurbishment in London. In the foyer there was an electrical distribution board and FA panel which had to be visible. We installed a hinged oak framed glass panel in front of it to improve its aesthetics. Perhaps you could do something similar for your electrical panel.

[@karenmorrison8112]

Love that particular music Billy, especially with the bells.

[@jeff8289]

As these videos progress, Yanis has really come into his own. Bravo Yanis! You are an integral part of the team.

[@krisperez619]

Billy, a few of those colored panels could be quite nice on the wall behind the bar as backlight decor. Many bars put their alcohol bottles in front of something like that and let the colored light come through the bottles.

[@juliejohnson-hunt7134]

You could also use one or two of the stained glass panels in the library, maybe upstairs. I love the Chez Yanis sign! Yanis u deserve the recognition. 👏👏🌟🌟🤩🤩 Congratulations!

[@karenburrows9184]

Chez Yanis - tres bonne idee! I love your illustration, Billy. What a great kickoff to the weekend.

[@gracecollins8415]

One idea for those doors could be, backlit panels set up at intervals behind the bar with glass shelving in front.

[@katharinatrub1338]

Billy, what a beautiful and generous testimony to Yanis! I like it very much!

[@tracidaniel7462]

I love that you are recognizing Yanis. That is one of the sweetest things I have seen. You are the best employer.

[@stephaniewalker3288]

Love love love this renovation and all the people that work on it ,they are all so nice and great workers, so look forward to every episode…….have a great weekend guys ❤

[@joellenmeek658]

Those doors are more beautiful than I had thought. Since they have no religious theme they could be used many places.

[@Flippin_Crazy]

Someone mentioned as a back drop for the bottles behind the Bar. Thank would be beautiful! I second that motion!

[@pajkt6283]

I think those stained glass panels would be great as the doors into the Library. That room will have so much natural light, the glass door would just beckon folks into it. Love the concept of Chez Yanis! Maybe the gardens in back should be named for your Dad?

[@catherinemoon3003]

For Simon: if you want to play with those fluorescent lights, at least in the US, there are now LED tubes available for older fixtures. You have to take out the ballast (I think that is what you call the starter) and wire them in directly. Brighter and quieter and longer lasting.

[@simoneconsciousobserver3105]

The garden area sure looks nice and neat and level. I am excited to know what Billy's intentions are for this convent. There has got to be BIG plans. None of this work is being done just for fun. And if it is just for fun, Billy and his family will have loads of it when this project is completed

[@3Goddesses333]

Billy - The Stain Glass Doors can be made into the by folding doors to separate the bar from the chapel area if needed. Just a friendly suggestion. That’s an amazing idea to call the bar “Chez Yanis”, love it👏🏼🥰👏🏼 Enjoy the weekend.💛🙏🏼💛

[@denisea871]

So nice...Chez Yanis. That's awesome. The artwork is perfect. 🥰

[@adriannecote5319]

Where that former storage area was.. you should put new doors and shelves in there and use it for storage of items needed in the dining room. No need to change the wall because it won’t be seen when the door are closed and when opened you will see some of the history of the convent. Great Chez Yanis sign!

[@leighnisbett9691]

Billy the pane glass windows have an storage space behind them , you could keep supplies for the bar such as straws and extra bottles of Alcohol in these spaces including napkins . So you don't have far to go to get supplies for the bar on a daily basis .

[@katiebaldwin40]

Great idea to use behind the wall as storage.

[@bradleyslightom6313]

I've always had an appreciation for the architecture of the past, and dreamed of rehabbing some older structures! I've always wanted to see a full blown castle, rebuilt as close to historically correct as possible, including the process of gathering materials, like hand hewn timbers! None of the new, but revisiting the old ways! Time consuming, but I think it'd be worth the ultimate rehab!!!

[@Flippin_Crazy]

There is a channel that literally built a building the old way. With original tools made by forging steel. Sorry cannot remember the name, but you can look up castle built the old way, or something like that.

[@JacobC365]

Todays end pose nu Yanis and Simon 8/10 - a double thumbs up👍

[@susansouthern6704]

Simon can even fix heavy equipment. Wow! I'm sure he could find a use for the stained glass doors

[@VeronicaPalozzi]

Have a great weekend Boys, you are all awesome and we love watching your accomplishments every post, great humour and laughter along the way!! Love and respect from Canada ❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦

[@joannecollis1543]

Love the idea of Chez Yanis. What a wonderful way to honour someone. I love how you all come together to help each other Billy you have the best team. Those leadlight doors would look beautiful anywhere you put them in the convent. Thank you for sharing your talents with us once again. Have a great weekend.

[@mradford10]

There’s an old heritage house which just completed a AU$30 million (€18 million) renovation here in Brisbane, Australia. They lovingly restored the massive stained glass panels in the ceiling above the old beautiful oak staircase. Huge panel that eliminates the stairwell. Another idea for your surplus panels in the bar. (For those asking - it’s called ‘Lamb House’ and you can watch the renovation at ABC Australia).

[@loraoflahrity130]

I love those stained glass panels. They would make a beautiful backdrop behind the bar hiding all the liquid gold!

[@ncw6855]

Reuse the stained glass doors in the library gallery, to replace makeshift barrier.

[@nicolinavincelli9369]

Billy, so nice of you to recognize Yanis, so thoughtful. Everything is running on track, enjoy your weekend.

[@Brenda-7764]

Use the stain glass up on the wall behind the bar. Put lights behind it and glass shelves with bottles or glass in front. They are beautiful. 😊

[@AprilRaine60]

I love the name of the new bar! A tribute to a hard working man!! Great idea!!🍹🍸🍹🍺🍻🥂☕🫖🥃🍷🍸🍹🍺🍻🥂🥃☕🫖🍾🍷🍸🍹🍺🍻🥂🥃☕🫖🍵🍷🍸🍹🍺🍻🥂🥃🍷🍾

[@katrinafolkema3584]

Those stainglass windows look like the dividers in bars and restaurants in the seating area.

[@marshabentley5276]

So excited to see you guys!

[@carolinejobe9346]

your videos are great, love the music, and the visuals

[@catherinecarone8130]

The colored glass panels could be used about the convent complex as part of a gazebo or something to that effect (or as part of the greenhouse if you restore or replace it)

[@rubystarr-1]

It is generally ideal for artwork to be hung at eye level. If you had a piece of art, (or tapestry, or whatever) you might want a piece that was taller than what the utility cabinet is and if so, you might think about putting another stud vertically centered above the utility cabinet, so you'd have something to nail to.

[@TeresaDerscheid]

that is so cool, putting Yanis on the bar sign. You Billy are awesome.

[@HabitualButtonPusher]

That is going to be one awesome bar! I really enjoy how Simon and Yanis have bonded. Like a father and son.

[@gregfyn]

Chez Yanis, I'll drink to that! Love the way you guys enjoy working together. It makes me happy to watch your vlogs.

[@newday5]

The stain glass doors would be nice in library somewhere upstairs or down

[@paulettejacobson]

Billy, Very special of you to honor Yanis on many levels. You are quite thoughtful, knowing just what to do.

[@theggbros]

Billy!!!! Chez Yanis!!!!! You are the sweetest man! Thank you for your thoughtfulness! ❤

[@danielleboely6820]

I get tears in my eye when you name the bar chez Yanis that a great honor for him he deserve it thanks you for him you so nice Billy

[@hollym-hopefilledhistory]

Chez Yanis is a wonderful idea! You all have done such such hard, amazing work, a little bit of each of you should be in the convent. Something you have enjoyed the most. Adding more history and building a beautiful legacy! Have a blessed weekend, Billy, Mick, Rick, Simon, and Yanis. "May the Lord bless you and keep you; May He show you His favor and have mercy upon you; and May He watch over you and give you His peace." Numbers 6:24-26

[@gerryhartung736]

Helping out Simon with his house is special as well. Billy and all the Pethericks are wonderful people. So glad to be a viewer of Sadie's, Michaels, and Billie's channels.

[@cessnaN123HA]

I would have suggested putting a built-in china hutch in the wall there, only I would have disguised it behind paneling. I just seems a shame to block off every bit of wall storage in that building.

[@judischarns4509]

I love the Chez Yanis. I think you can use those glass doors put them in front of the windows. They will dim and color the light the light much like they were designed for originally. You can even back light them with LED lights. I think Billy you will become the proprietor of several businesses in that Convent. I know you say you just want to build it not run it, but you just might find a way that works.

[@lieuwina]

Love the sign for the bar Chez Yanis it is. How awesome is that Yanis.

[@sandrahogg8791]

Watch you guys every day from Toronto, Canada. I’m simply amazed by your combined talents. Your camaraderie and kindness is amazing. Looking forward to many more years of happy viewing. xxx

[@gailatkinson1955]

Hooray for Yanis! You guys are great!😊❤

[@marynolan6401]

If you are going to make a green house for convent garden in the future Billy an occasional stained glass panel would look beautiful unique and magical

[@nicolelandey1133]

What an amazing honour!!! Yanis deserves it!

[@janetpritsker1323]

Love Chez Yanis!

[@jenniferalexander920]

I think a great idea for the bar Chez Yanis is to take the stain glass panels and make a backlit feature wall for the setting area or for the bottles of booze. That would look fabulous

[@jodirauth8847]

So awesome your building the bar in Yanis's name. So awesome. I agree about hanging the stained glass from the ceiling and back lightning them. That floor will make for an excellent dance floor.

[@BTRPaganMedium]

Sad that the stone walls will be covered by plasterboard etc but I understand your reasons for it. Glad the stone part isn't being damaged and will be preserved! Please put the recording device in the kitchen soon. Love the Chez Yanis bar name! Well done Billy and team! Enjoy your weekends 😊

[@judebug329]

Well deserved, Yanis! ❤🍸🍻🥂

[@rebeccafrancis8227]

Billy, what a sweet gesture naming the bar after Yanis!!! It brought a tear to my eye! Thank you for that!!

[@christhompson4270]

I love that you named the bar Chez Yanis, he’s worked so hard and learned so much from Simon and yourselves 👏👍❤️

[@deniseblackman5229]

Chez Yanis! How great!

[@paulakershaw5452]

Chez Yanis sounds brilliant, I would put the stained glass doors covering the windows behind the bar to give an ambiance to the room without stark daylight ❤

[@marydawson8939]

What a wonderful tribute to Yanis to name the bar after him! I hope he will be in charge of the bar once it’s up and running? 😀🇦🇺

[@RobertForslund]

I love the name for the bar! 😁👍

[@laurah8556]

Great week you guys!! Love the naming of the bar Billy👏
