When Yanis started he was so shy. Now he is in everything. Now he’s a chef. LOL.

[@debracooney3428]

It’s soooo nice seeing the real Yannis 😊

[@MILENASLAVA]

Так же как ломал полы, так же легко порубил пиццу! Янис супер мощь!💖

[@vickiulrich6694]

Yannis is an energizer bunny whose batteries never fail!!!:):):)

[@tygerhardy]

His former job was working in a cocktail bar (he makes mean cocktail).

[@steffy1967]

Yannis is super adorable and cool at the same time. Tres mignon❤

[@elizabethbesco4758]

Anyone else fan girling Billy's Dad? Such a sweet man. And hope Simon can view how his "work son" is a little lion of demo. Have a joyful weekend.

[@MILENASLAVA]

Я фанатею от папы! Он великолепен!💗

[@brefnejowers9747]

He's handsome too, bet he was a hottie in his time 😅

[@caracelmonster]

So I have been binge watching the series and finally caught up. I have been loving the videos and you are doing a perfect job can't wait to see the finished project. The whole teams great keep it up and be carful gives me anxiety watching you work so close to the edges.

[@ShanghaiGoat]

I’m in awe of his work ethic at 79 nearly 80 years old!

[@gerryhartung736]

I'll be 80 in 4 months and would like to help these men. BUT, the commute from Oregon, USA, daily, weekly, monthly, just might be a problem. I'm proficient in ceramic tile, house building, cabinet building.......where's my tool belt?

[@bartvanderplas]

Billy: “OK Yiannis, we need to demolish half a convent.” Yiannis: ENGAGE BEAST MODE Crack on boys!

[@davidcoombe1811]

just be there to stop him at 1/2 way

[@jesseratcliff3508]

He reminds me of the Tasmanian Devil from Warner Bros. cartoons.

Hahahahahhaha, Indeed!

Happy birthday Dad Petherick.

I just love Yanis’ curly hair!

[@kathyhembyhewett6109]

And the darker shade too. Did Gwen color him up?

[@elisabethbenders-hyde5286]

Where is all that hair come from? I don't remember him with a mop of curly hair.

I just love Yanis. Can you do a feature on him so we can see him chatting to you about who he is. He's so lovely but we know nothing about him❤

[@brefnejowers9747]

I would like a tour of the tattoos 😅

[@ShanghaiGoat]

His English, although improved, is not up to interview standards as yet. Get Ryan to interview him in French and do subtitles.

[@sandraevens8744]

Like Micheal he may prefer his privacy!!

[@mrsducky3428]

On Sadie's channel, she does give some background on Yannis

[@sabalight2558]

Maybe he doesn't have a ot of extraordinary things to explane ! Maybe isn't a guy of who likes to talke a lot either. For me it's ok like it is. Michael and Billy don't say a lot of private things either and it's fine.

[@suzanneb3036]

Yanis makes my muscles hurt looking at him tear thru everything. He is like the Energizer Bunny.

[@brendamchenry5697]

Yanis is a Renaissance man he can do anything

[@arcturianwonderer]

Thats the thickest floor I have ever seen 🙂

[@gloriasmestad3803]

It must have been almost impossible to heat this place, so using the thick layer of earth/clay was meant to work as much needed insulation when there weren’t other options. Imagine what it was like when there were only wooden floors and the very high ceilings.

[@MSDG62]

Its been added to over 250 years or so. That's why the door frames are so short. Once Billy and crew get the floors to one level then the door frames will be normal height.

[@maryjanepate4359]

Happy Birthday, Billy's Dad, and wishing you many more.

[@chedatomasz]

Now we know why the beams sagged. All those layers must weigh tons!

[@dragonflyhill5748]

Rick is the common sense laid back seemingly steady guy and Yanis the one who attacks the work.

[@alsatful]

Jack hammer, pry bar ,shovel , oven .... he is a beast of burden

[@MILENASLAVA]

Да он очень мощно трудится! Точно нападает на работу и у него все получается с лёгкостью!😍

[@eamonnhayden3630]

Why doesn't Rick give Yannis a break from the heavy work. Rick looks like he works out in the gym but he never seems to use the crow bar or the jack hammer. 🤔

[@dragonflyhill5748]

@@eamonnhayden3630 I think because everyone likes to see Yanis attack a job. Rick would if called upon and was able. He also had some kind of medical problem a while back that took him away, if you will remember. Rick is a hard worker.

I know it dirt and dust swirling about but I’m seeing ahead to how beautiful this library is going to be. I think Mick is a great man. How wonderful it is that he will be celebrating his 80th birthday. May you all please take care and stay safe. Louisa. 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩

[@user-ew7vm8cy2s]

It never ceases to amaze me how hard you all work in the dirt and the dust you keep going. Billy, you’re a great team, I can’t believe your dad is able to work so hard at his age. Well done, I admire everybody’s commitment to this project, Billy, my congratulations to you, your family, and your friends, the power team! Thank you for your videos, keeping us up-to-date. 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️👏💝🇦🇺

My dad was a beast working around the house until he was diagnosed with ALS at age 90. An amazingly strong and hard working man. It’s nice to see someone like him with a great work ethic.

You have done the impossible - that was done so quickly , the hard work Has paid off! It’s hard to believe that your father is 80!! He’s incredible

Yannis the gangster with his Tommy gun jack hammer mowing down everyone in site! I'm so jealous of those thick curls.

[@Ssmith248]

HAHAHA Yanis with the jack hammer. It’s awesome his dad is 80 and still keeps working so hard. Reminds me of my dad. He would walk off a heart attack and wouldn’t go to a doctor. Must be a generational thing. Much respect. ❤

[@nilo70]

My mother did the exact same. She had 4 heart attacks and continued to work outside in her yard. Those folks were TOUGH .

They must have trimmed those doors every time they raised the floor. I wonder what the original height of the doors would have been. Take a well-deserved break, guys

[@janabeckman545]

I thought that, too! When they start work on the hallway, all the door frames will need to lowered if they keep the doors

[@arlenegariepy8957]

That whole side of the convent just screamed a joyous Hallelujah!!!! Even the spirits are happy or not. LOL :) It begs to question the motive of raising the floors I really don't understand that. One day all that could have came down on someones head. Wow the tonnage is just amazing.

[@tamarrajames3590]

Yanis has two really distinct modes for working. When he is plastering he is serene and fluidly graceful…give him something to demolish, and he is a right beast. Love to see his transformation. In the kitchen he is surprisingly delicate, a man of many styles.🖤🇨🇦

Such precarious work. Glad there were no injuries in carrying out this work. Well done everyone. A momentous accomplishment.

Unbelievable what you guys have accomplished Well done!! See you soon Enjoy your weekend and Happy Birthday your Dad Billy!!!

[@ImTheDudeMan471]

Yannis picked up the correct knife to cut the pizza. A cleaver is the one I use. A Chinese cleaver is very thin and sharp. A butcher cleaver is thick and sharp only at the cutting edge. Pick whichever the situation calls for. I always use a cleaver for pizza cutting.

[@joymichels]

Billy, have you considered leaving the I-beam across the space in the library? It would be a lovely "catwalk" between sides allowing easy access back and forth. You could clad the beam and add, of course, safety rails to the catwalk. It would be efficient and save you a LOT of time and money. I really don't see the need to have it completely open. Also, that beam is probably keeping the walls from collapsing. I'm guessing you already talked to an engineer about this.

[@julielh5193]

It never fails to amaze me how things were built before power tools. Your renovation of this magnificent building caught my attention when you HAD to clear the courtyard. I too, found it offensive, Billy! Thanks for making it beautiful again. You are blessed with such a great crew AND family. I love living vicariously through your work. My dad would have been 80 on Saturday. I’m so happy to see you working with yours! Happiest of days, Mr. Petherick. 🎉❤ My greatest wish is to visit Europe and the Convent is definitely on the “selfie list.” 😂😂😂 Love you all! Especially the enigmatic Yannis. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
