Bless you Billy giving those better shoes to our lovely Yannis, who was so thankful for them. xxx

[@sandrabutcher1961]

Wishing you,Gwen, the boys, your Mum and Dad,Michael,Sadie and Mo,Yannis,Alex and everyone else at the Chateau a lovely Christmas

Is Alessandro still there making curtains?

[@florentinalily]

The more I watch this family work together, the more admiration and respect I have for their compassion regarding all those around them; whether in the working environment, or outside it. Yannis has just flourished before our eyes and it is a tribute to the Pethericks and their warmth, character and generosity of spirit. Wouldn't the world be a better place if all employers were like this. Great to see other people work their A***s off whilst I sit here in front of a roaring log fire with a cuppa.😆 Thankyou.

[@michelleaththas659]

Agree with you 💯% The Pethericks family is wonderful. They are such good people. Love watching them renovating this old convent. They are such a good team of friends and family Lots of Love all the way from Australia 🇫🇷🦘🦘🐨🇦🇺.

[@2times2is4]

Yannis has not only gotten a good job, but a family like atmosphere to be involved with. Everyone loves him. I can't imagine the hours of putting the mud in those walls and all the work that went into the framing.

[@kathiefilkins445]

Hello all. So glad to see the safety measures being utilized. Dad's hard hat, Yannis shoes, your glasses and masks. Keep up the good work. Love watching this sort of thing. I used to help my uncle build stuff. Blessings to you all.

[@Shae_9876]

Mick you must have been an amazing father to Billy, a true role model. As I watch your interactions with others I also see these same qualities in Billy. Be proud!

Pleased Yannis has safety boots. He’s far too valuable to risk an injury! Merry Christmas and the very best in 2024 to you all

[@melissaallen4796]

They say a person's character is defined not by what they say but what they do. Once again, Billy, your character shined through as to your generosity to Yanis. Well done again today all. Merry Christmas to you and may God continue to bless you and your family.

[@IreneSonni]

I am glad you all are wearing masks. My husband died in October from COPD. Take care of your lungs! ❤

[@marthayahoogillespie9567]

I’m so sorry to hear that 😢

[@ChadHoskinOhio]

I cried (almost) when Billy gave Yannis the new pair of work boots! Hip Hip Ho-Ray

[@ephphathaoracle]

Ok I wasn’t going to admit it, I did cry❤. I know nothing of Yannis and his circumstances. I was moved by Billy’s gesture for sure. Billy misses nothing. That’s my take, he doesn’t miss anything even if he doesn’t let on that he sees…..❤

[@stevewhite8161]

Great job in taking care of Yanas Billy, He's a young man who's given the opportunity to learn a LOT and you and your crew are teaching him well.

[@drummerlovesbookworm9738]

I bet Yanis can sock away the groceries!! 😂😂He’s so wiry and he hustles like crazy. He surely is expending the calories! I hope they all have a Christmas feast!

[@niser54]

Your kindness to Yannis is very heartwarming - he works very hard & is willing to do whatever needs doing - he is a real asset to your projects 💙💙

[@teresemk]

I love watching your vlogs, Billy, Alex and the whole crew. I was so happy to see you mention the viewer comments about Yannis' footwear. That was so good of you to give him those boots, as well as mentioning the feedback you'd been receiving. Other vloggers might just delete any comments that they deem critical. You did the right thing, Billy. Thank you and Merry Christmas to everyone!

[@jesschee5891]

I was thinking he should be wearing better footwear yesterday ❤

[@brendabertram6908]

Thrilled to see the new safer footwear. ❣️

[@rorystapleton2838]

An enjoyable and safe Christmas to all

[@peterainge9092]

I'm so so glad too about Yannis' new boots. I was.going to see if I could send a Bricomarche gift card or something to get him some. Xx

[@lindak8664]

I’ve never heard of a terracotta ceiling before. Look at me, learning stuff from your renovations! Yannis has come such a long way since he first appeared helping Simon out early in the year. He’s such a useful all-rounder now, his confidence shines through. For some reason I’m ridiculously proud of him

[@SweetOne.]

Yannis first appeared when they were clearing up the Cobbles in the courtyard - that may have been on Sadie's channel or Mo's channel, I think it was Sadie's.. 3 "Hot" men working in the garden 😉

[@lenoxlenox9447]

[@cpopp25]

It's because Yannis shows us what we can do if we really want to ..... an inspiration to all of us.

[@judischarns4509]

You’re so good to Yannis. Those boots are a good investment in a good employee. He’s a good worker and pays you back for your goodness. That lime coating will be fine in the garden too. You’re getting lots of reusable lumber it seems. Merry Christmas to the entire crew!

[@pamelablume1637]

It’s really sweet of y’all to think about protecting Yannis’ feet! I was watching him in the soft shoes yesterday and thinking he needed boots; guess I’m not the only one. Good job with the demolition, gentlemen. Here in the U.S., we don’t see this kind of construction, so it is a treat to see the convent’s old “bones”. Thank you for sharing this journey with us. I wish the whole Petherick family and friends a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

BOOTS FOR YANNIS AWESOMENESS QHSE

[@ironsword7]

I would have thought it was more of a legal requirement to have steel-capped boots in a demolition/construction zone.

[@silviac221]

​@@ironsword7yes, me too

[@kipmistralllc5257]

I hope in some way that the 1960's "improvements" actually improved the nuns' lives and comfort, because that institutional "look" couldn't have been uglier. Then seeing how badly the work was done was truly an amazement, insulated with cardboard indeed. So wonderful to see the old beams coming into view again. I know the final restoration will look much like the magnificent kitchen ceiling, lofty, strong and uplifting. What a lot of work this demolition is, messy and dirty and lots of junk for the tip. Thank you, Billy, for taking notice of Yannis' footwear and replacing it with safety boots. Very kind as well as practical. You have such a nice way of saying things...just enough to make a point but not belabor it. I hope you all have a well-deserved long holiday and can't wait to see if the grand organ makes her appearance. I can honestly say I don't recall ever being as intrigued and inspired to see a renovation project of this scope in all its stages of progress. Very inspiring! Lots of love to the Pethricks and their team, and to all here cheering them on. Merry Christmas!

[@kathywrightjohnson6804]

Billy, I appreciate the way you care for your friends and employees. Those shoes are great. You are setting him up with the tools to go as far as he wishes. Thank you and Merry Christmas to all of you.

[@wbayne6161]

I'm so glad you took care of Yannis, Billy. He is a fan favourite on your team.

[@vivianeriesterer4279]

with the walls and ceilings gone, the imagination how magnificent this convent can look again,when you have stripped it all and rebuild with your vision Billy…..future generations will always be remembering that Billy Petherick and his family, friends and coworkers did give this monumental property new life

[@risireynolds6881]

I literally teared up when Billy gave Yanus those safety boots.

[@AJB220]

Yanis was so grateful, love that boy.

[@autodidactin]

I did too!

Billy you are a truly a kind man by listening to one of your viewers suggesting that Yannis have protective footware and then get him some, not many people are that kind and giving. Wishing you, Gwen, your boys, Michael, Sadie, Olivia, Mo, your wonderful Mom and Dad and Yannis and every other member of your family a truly blessed and Happiest Christmas. xx

Billy, you are so kind to buy Yanis the boots. It made me crazy worrying about the possibility of him injuring his feet. Your such a great person! The 3 of you are really cracking on, wow. It is coming down fast and efficient, as well. Mick sure is a trouper!! Merry Christmas to all the Petherick's, Alex and Yanis ! It always makes my day watching your team!

So glad Yannis has good safe footwear and my nurses heart is happy to see you all wearing masks and goggles ! Good choice of music Alex ! Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year ❤️

[@rosemariedeschenes7013]

As a nurse myself, totally agree with wearing masks, hard hats and solid footwear whenever doing demolitions. Who knows what those walls, ceilings and floors contain. Safety first 😍😘

[@Django44]

Ear protection is also recommended. That dust is just as imposing within the ear as it is in an eye or in the lungs. Occupational Health & Safety regs exist for a purpose.

That was very nice of Billy to buy Yannis(SP?) some shoes, the ones he had looked like they'd seen many construction sites. These ones look more protective if a hammer or debris fell on his toes. Yannis totally deserves it too, he seems like such a sweet dude.

[@maryfrench9757]

You’re a good man Billy! You do things well, the right way, and you care about your friends and family. Billy, would you consider creating a few short-term stay apartments. I bet there are other retirees who would love to spend a few weeks in your area, at the convent, and even help out with gardening,etc. A bedroom, a sitting area and a little kitchen area would make for a great stay at the convent. Merry Christmas,Happy New Year to all of you.
