Completing A Corner Of The Dining Room

[@mdaly23md]

Billy, I personally want to shout you out as employer of the year! You have demonstrated great qualities as an employer that have grown your channel not just that you have taken on such a gargantuan task of renovating this convent but by treatment of those you work with almost every day. The fact that you allow for flexibility for Simon and Alex to come and go when needed without a hassle is commendable but to house Yanis and give him such a thoughtful gift of an electric bike goes above and beyond thoughtfulness. You gave him independence and freedom. You have given him so much in on-the-job training, room and board, transportation, and now a bike....opportunities few bosses give. You have set him up for great success and made him an honorary member of your family. Kudos to you and Simon. And kudos to Yanis as he has worked very hard and taken every opportunity to learn and be grateful with grace and a deep appreciation. I am always happy after watching your videos because you have great content and great comraderies' between everyone, every day! That is so very rare. I hope you all take a moment to really appreciate what you have because it is so very rare.

[@DaleRBrown]

100% agree!! Billy your team really appreciates and respects you! This is wonderful!

[@Black_CatHouse]

You said it all!!! 💚

[@florentinalily]

Agree. But just a reminder that the Bike was given to the vlog as an advertising tool by the company; not bought by Billy...

[@DebraCarey-r8c]

@@florentinalily And Billy could have kept it for himself and didn't. It's not always about money.

[@DaleRBrown]

@@florentinalily - Understood. However, Billy didn't have to give that to anyone. He gave that to Yanis as care for Yanis' needs. It's genuine, from my observation. :-)

[@sallyannedavies7742]

Very happy for Yanis having his independence, what a lovely treat for him. 💝

[@grahamrooza452]

Best sponsorship spot ever!!

[@ASMRkiddo]

I actually enjoyed the advert! That slow motion film of Yanis saluting whilst riding was a classic lol!

[@loraoflahrity130]

You'll always be a huge part of our daily viewing Alex ❤, hurry back

[@divaden47]

Hopefully Alex will have time now to continue with his own vlog, Alex the Cameraman!!

[@marytaylor9185]

I was so taken with the friendships aspect of this video, that I completely forgot to mention the beautiful work in the dining room. The precision and workmanship is top-notch! Simon covering the vent....you'd never know there was a hole in the wall. The dining room along with the other rooms will look beautiful.

[@pruelowden3536]

Best advert for a bike I’ve ever seen. Love the photography, editing and Yani’s happy face.

[@samana970]

Safe travels Alex. You will be missed. Pats and scratches for Layla.

[@monicateeling810]

WELL DONE ✅✅ A FANTASTIC GIFT FOR YANIS, HE DESERVES IT 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@Helen-l3i]

You can see how happy and proud Yanis is!! So happy for him and thank you Billy for gifting the bike to Yanis!

[@farmingirl4281]

YAY! Yanis got a fantastic bike!! Congratulations Yanis

[@denisemusicnut]

I’m so glad Alex has his own channel, so we can see him while he is away! I just wish Simon had his own channel as well! He is a natural in front of the camera, and I miss him when he is in the UK. It’s wonderful to see Yanis getting an e-bike, and it made a really fun ad! I hope he had a very happy birthday!

[@DaleRBrown]

So happy Yanis got this bike. He is just such a genuine guy!

[@Tracy_R]

Aww. Alex, you'll be missed & Layla too. It brings me joy to see the hardest working pup in France. Godspeed 🙏 safe travels. I love that bike! Yanis will be on the move now. Simon is the man! Much respect to you all, Billy. ❤

[@victoriapowell404]

Billy, I am crying happy tears. You are so thoughtful to give the bike to Yanis. 🥰

[@suepittel426]

Hurrah for Yanis!!! Happy birthday, Yanis!!! Hurrah for Billy!!! Thank you, Billy!!!

[@paulinefreeman9492]

That little dog loved Yanis x

[@pal7252]

I couldn't help myself. As I was watching Alex drive away, tears were just running down my face. You guys have such a close camaraderie that it is so precious to see. A big hug to all you guys, including Layla. 🥰

[@marytaylor9185]

Me too! It was like I was standing there and waving goodbye! This channel is like the Hallmark Channel ♥

[@kimvanek2322]

Will miss Alex!!! Hope Yannis enjoys his bike (nice gesture Billy)!!!! Can't wait to see Simon in his new kitchen!!! ❤😂😊

[@carrierhinier6291]

Billy’s editing is back- we got music!!! Yay Yanis! Happy biking!

[@annieoconnor9778]

Billie and Yanis riding that bike, so funny 🤣🙏🏻🇬🇧

[@iimoreno29]

Alex. Safe travels. Yanis. Nice wheels. Simon. What can I say. You're the best. Billy. You're brilliant.

[@cskuza]

I feel like crying every time one of Billy’s crew leaves. I hope Billy’s subscribers follow Alex the Cameraman in KZbin . So happy for Yanis and his new bike . Billy you are an amazing boss .

[@pamabernathy8728]

Happy Birthday, Yanis!! As always, Billy's generous heart thinks of family & friends first. What a great bicycle!! I LOVE the tires!! We live next door to permanent open space, here in a Southern California suburb. That mountainous space has some green -- established trees, bushes with deep roots. Because we have a semi-arid climate, lots of brush. Huge boulders. And many hiking & biking trails. Our youngest son & a friend run the hills when they visit. 13.1 miles before starting their day. & many mountain bikers, some who have told me that each day after work, & of course on days off, they are riding the trails. They encounter rattlesnakes crossing the road, bobcats, lots of wild bunnies. The coyote are too shy, but we hear them singing many evenings. & we are in mountain lion country. Very exciting: the WORLD'S LARGEST WILDLIFE CROSSING is well under way, as part of the wildlife corridor that passes through our hills. The Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing. Crossing TEN lanes of a busy Southern California freeway! We are next to part of the Simi Hills end of the corridor. And the research & fundraising, & building permits, started years ago. Blessings, all.

[@minecraftmum3436]

Yanis giving Billy a backie on his new bike made me laugh. It's a perfect gift for Yanis 😎

[@marydawson8939]

I will miss Alex and Layla at the Convent but look forward to seeing them both on Alex’s own channel! So happy for Yanis getting a bike, he really deserves it! 😀🇦🇺

[@lindabryant4292]

Best in-video commercial ever! That totally cracked me up. 🧡

[@mariagillinson8527]

BILLY! Honestly you bring the sweetest people together! Thank you!

[@Sparkysings2]

So happy for Yanis! He has come such a long way in his learning all his new trades.

[@lindsayjeanae]

What a great gift for Yanis! The plans for the next few weeks to move on to the Library ceiling sound great. Can't wait to see things moving along little by little.

[@CherylSimser]

I dislike seeing anyone leave for a while but then I'm so happy to see them come back. That gorgeous little Lela, oh, I will miss her too!!!

[@BA-ef4pr]

I loved seeing Billy and Yannis ride off on that cool bike!

[@broads964]

Billy, I remember when Michael used to front the Doing It Ourselves vlogs and you had the self-conscious hint of a smile when you were on camera. You are a venerated film star now. The bike ad is funny and fabulous!

[@sth.777]

The window reveal looks great! And such a wonderful gesture, Billy, gifting the bike to Yanis! Independently being able to come and go will be a great confidence booster for him, and allow him to do so much more!

[@leerubin4303]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YANIS 🎂😃

[@siameseire]

Yay!, A Mokwheel for Yanis. A Great funny ad. Billy.

[@geriburdon6120]

Wow Billy your generosity is sublime! What a star. Loved seeing Yanis’s face when he opened the box.💗🇬🇧

[@julieb3464]

Gonna miss Alex & his dog.

[@stanyoung6593]

Dear Billy and crew, I watch a lot of KZbin channels and yours are among my favorites. I want to bring attention to something important for you, your crew, and the viewers who may see this comment regarding spray-foam sealants. It's terribly important to wear eye protection when using spray-foam. The material is typically urethane, which has the unique property of curing in the presence of water or moisture. If you get it on your skin it cannot be removed by any means but eventually it "wears off". Unsightly, but not harmful. If it gets in the eye, the moisture present in the eye will accelerate the cure and it can ONLY be removed by an opthalmology surgeon. The risk of permanent damage to the eye is very real. I know you're all safety conscience in your work, but this particular hazard has consequences that are very severe. Imagine for a moment all of the ways a "freak accident" might occur. Please everyone, wear eye protection when using spray-foam.

[@stephaniewalker3288]

Thanks for that info!

[@loraoflahrity130]

That was a beautiful plug for Mockwell 😊

[@busterdee8228]

I suspect they knew he would 😉

[@karenmccarthy8017]

See you soon Alex! Great gift for Yanis and happy to see he wears a helmet!

[@heehaw8401]

I love my e-bike. Was glad I had a helmet when I crashed a week after I got it.

[@lizthompson4159]

That was very kind of you to gift that bike to Yannis he was so happy almost speechless. You a kind person we need .ore of you and your family in this world. You have so many special people working for you because you are very kind.

i love watching the renovations. i do miss the stone walls. i know you need to control heat and things but i wish there was an inside stone wall or half a wall showing the age and history. this is my favourite show to watch. Billy you and your team are amazing. love all the personalities. the opportunities given to Yanis are priceless. so amazing to watch him grow. thank you!

I almost get teary when Alex leaves! What a nice guy!!

[@ehpeachylove]

Simon you are amazing in your carpentry skills, and the way you fitted that area for air circulation to the basement just brilliant. Yanis has learned so much from you since he has been on the team. You are a wonderful mentor Simon and Yanis you have improved in so many areas of your work experience and in speaking English . You are both loved by many of us on this journey. Billy I cannot express how much your kindness and appreciation of your team means to me. That unselfish gift to Yanis of that beautiful bike is so special. A change for Yanis to have more independence is humbly accepted by Yanis. He is so happy. The corner of the room with the window looks beautiful. Alex you will be missed but we’ll see you when you return. Safe travels. ❤ Love to all.

I'm dying to see what dining furniture and lights you are going to use. Fancy pants I bet ...🤩
