Getting The Flooring Done In A Day

I called the library vision a “Billy’s folly”, not to be sarcastic or disrespectful, but because his idea was so “out there”. the world needs more Billy’s, who are visionary, bold, and courageous, who swim against the norm. If I were his parent I’d be so proud of him.

[@bobzillaswe4123]

Had a drink every time Billy said "spot on". Been absolutely plastered for weeks

So funny!

[@sandrabernacki4838]

I lost my Dad 27 years ago today. Seeing your father makes me so happy. I especially like it when he gives us a smile. Great job on the library.

[@janicek6399]

My sympathy! My dad passed 25 years ago July 5th...I do enjoy Mick!!!

[@marielucier7982]

My dad passed October 1997. Family split so did not get to live with him. But he was funny and artistic/creative. Strong little guy as well.

[@adriannecote5319]

Yannis doesn’t need a gym membership. He uses every muscle in his body every day. Mick is a gem! Best idea to make access to your gallery safe! Simple dishes can be so expensive!

[@taniadevilliers348]

That messy type of filling in with cement and rocks seems to be one of the tougher tasks. Mick managing it is really admirable. Great assistance from Yanis too!

[@carolineallen2285]

Billy, thank you for acknowledging my comment regarding "Big Foot' or "Sasquatch". You get so many comments everyday, I didn't think you saw it. It's pretty amazing. I've been with you from the start, so it means something to me when you mentioned my comment today. Thank you!

[@jeb3415]

I missed your comment and was about to leave a comment today- so Caroline do you think Sasquatch is carrying a block of granite or a tray full of Squatch size beer steins? Lol. Or what?

[@carolineallen2285]

@@jeb3415 Yes, he's definitely carrying something. It looks like that block of granite Billy pulled out of the floor in today's video. He must have hid it there, many years ago. We could make up a whole story about what he's carrying and where he's going. Lots of fun!

[@DW-qs5pp]

With those absolute massive size of lumber you are using on those short lengths of floor boards….one noggin is way plenty. Abit overkill. People in the comments are not always correct. As you say, go with your gut. Its your project. Been with you all since the beginning and more. Thanks ever so much.

[@pmichelerowes3700]

Yes your way after the regulations so hard to undo . In Canada they want to see every step not a step without or they will tell you to show your work. So hard

[@linato1855]

@@pmichelerowes3700, my solarium addition in the back of the house, was inspected and approved at every step and still the room has been detaching from the home wall from the first year of build. The windows and drywall is so messed up! Even the air space in the ceiling is missing. The guy my hubby hired got cash money for the blunder. Overkill is way better than sloppy.

[@malina1239]

@@pmichelerowes3700in Norway we have to hand in all the papers with all the measurements ,before we can do anything . Then it has to be approved . I don’t understand how other countries do the approval after people already have started the work and then might have to tear everything down 😮 But then again.. here we fill our cars up first and go inside to pay afterwards. Our society is very much built on trust. I know that’s hard for many other countries to understand .. I have an American friend who was shocked by the “fill up first and pay later”. He said if that was in the US people would fill up everything they owned and drive away without paying and sell their gas to others 😂😂😂😂

[@jamesbaker429]

As they are using the steels from the original spans the I beem dictate the size of joists used ,way bigger then building regs but using smaller section timbers would be hard to make a rigid structure.also the floor has to support the saggy beams on ground and first floor.

[@Tuscanyflower68]

Your work ethic is exceptional‼️ One of the best floor work I have ever seen and l watch lots of videos of people working on floors. Great job👍🏻‼️🙌🏻

[@Kevakazii]

When I first heard you speak about your library plans I honestly didn't think it would happen for another 5 years or so, if it all, because it's such an ambitious idea. But here were are a year or two after and you're through the majority of the headaches. Congrats Billy on actually sticking with your vision and creating something that'll be architectually beautiful when you're done.

[@carinadudley1760]

They must change Bob the Builder to Billy the Builder. Billy, you and Michael almost look like twins these days. Your dad is an amazing person and worker at his age and Yanis is such an asset. Just love to watch you.

[@GoldenLady9779]

Beautiful job, as always. Looking forward to Simon coming.

[@dianayavetz6286]

I love watching Mick work with stone! Nice to get some kitchen supplies so you can start to entertain

[@DeborahGatica-xk5pn]

Billy, I love what you’re doing. Just a thought…..if you’re going to set up a commercial kitchen, you might look at restaurant supply houses. I love V & B but those are all going to break at some point. There is pretty nice white dishware and glasses, etc. that is less expensive and you can replace easier. Think about it!

[@louannpettibone9963]

I cant wait for all those institutional walls and doors are gone. They remind me of visiting my cousin in the mental hospital in the 70’s. Billy you are doing an amazing job.

[@lindacushing7780]

It's great seeing Mick Cam and Yanis cam it's great to see everything they are doing. Welcome back, Yanis.

[@elizabethbesco4758]

Billy, it may be beneficial to buy one more box of dishes as over the years something may break or be misplaced and that pattern may not be produced anymore. Also if yor mother or sister can find flannel on a bolt have them cot out circles of each plate to slide between each plate to avoid scratches and chips. It is a game changer.

[@juliehilton1701]

Yes cos that’s women’s work isn’t it?? Are you watching Sadie do her own renovations 🤨

[@heehaw8401]

You can use coffee filters for that!

[@Mr_Grimm13]

Same with the glasses. Years down the road if you need a replacement, they might not make it. Also handy should you have a slightly larger group to pull a few extra for the event.

[@marysell6184]

How exciting watching your vision come to life, Billy! Thanks for allowing us to join you and your team on this journey!

[@pamabernathy8728]

Welcome back, Yanis! We missed you. Billy missed you more -- he told this to us, a few times. 😊 You deserved time in Paris, with friends. Lovely. & Simon is due back soon. Question: do your friends watch The Pethericks? 😊 From an old lady in Southern California, USA.

Nice job Billy, by having Yanis back is not a loss of time for you .

I have found from my own experience with tongue and grove floor laying not to screw down the side where the next piece fits until after you fit it. It makes your installation experience much easier.
