Watching Simon’s focus and dedication to each task (no matter how small) is so enjoyable. Lucky Yannis to be getting this training from a master craftsman who is generous in his teaching.

I agree. All true craftsmen take pride in their work. It's personal. Like a signature to posterity. For centuries, artisans would mark your endeavours for the same reason.

Lucky both of them!! Yennis certainly exudes the qualities of a master craftsman himself. Masonry and Plaster work are gifts from God. I'm sure Simon can excel Yennis quite well. They'll be a great team. I hope they both become a team for the years to come. Simon is quite knowledgeable and patient. Both of them are pretty easy on the eyes too!

I think you'll find that in most tradesmen, they just aren't paid or allowed to do it. Find a tradesman that does shoddy work and put them on a job saying, don't rush and get it perfect so we can put your name to it. The difference is night and day in finish. It's a compounding failure of tight budgets and time for much construction.

Simon has become a welcome part of the descriptions and work. His tenderness with Yanis (tickle) and very good teaching and masterful approach are going to give Yanis a new lease on life. I'm glad to see that he is being shown such a good example of friendship and working towards a common goal with all of you. He seems to be relaxing, finally.

Hello Billy and Crew, First may say, your wife wife is beautiful and a great mum. Keep in mind Billy you are the project manager and you first had the vision for this old property trust your vision. You are a diligent worker yourself and posses a great many skills. I can see this location as a place for fine French dining. You could offer lodging and arrange trips for wine tasting and places of interest. Offer spa and message therapy. Just look at the Napa Sonoma region of Northern California. When comes time for bedroom suites you might vet those who follow your channel and have a competition for best remodel and design for a set of suites, just an idea. If I were younger I would come and work for a week or two. Crack on! Vern 😊

Yannis is learning so much, it will serve him well in the future that he was taught the proper way to do all the different steps. I can't wait to see the apartment bathroom done, the whole apartment actually.
