Hearing Footsteps Inside The Old Convent

For inquiries contact: [e-mail]

[@pamelaamos7237]

Dear Billy, Last year I read a comment from the daughter of CHARLEAN NELSON from America. Her mother had died the day you fitted the bell and she felt that it was comforting her. I replied, that in the future when I heard the bell ring, I would mention her mothers name in the comments, just to let her know that someone still remembered her sorrow and her mother. Well today was the first time I heard the convent bell ring, so I am keeping my promise. I wish CHARLEAN NELSONS daughter blessings and my warmest wishes. I wish you Billy warmest wishes for me being able to do this. Maybe it will help her a little bit. See how wonderful your channel is. It's NOT just a DIY channel, people from all over the world have invested in your achievements and are interested in other peoples lives too. Warmest wishes to you all, I am so glad I can see your tremendous progress on an almost daily basis. Pam

My goodness! Yanis: what a mover! He could run some dance classes for you as a sideline at the Convent in the future 🎉😂❤

[@suemount6042]

I second that!

[@julisign]

I was impressed with his moves!

[@JennyA1961]

The party looked like fun. My, how Yannis has blossomed. You may have disturbed the spirits by bringing the organ into the Chapel or even brought a spirit from the Cathedral 😆. The tiles are beautiful and perfect. ❤🐨

[@amandajarboe1131]

The tiles are so beautiful! I could see sunlight falling on them when done and it's enchanting!

[@tamarrajames3590]

Billy, I think those tiles would be perfect for the old Altar space in the Chapel. Here is hoping you have enough to cover the area. If you are a litter short, you could use the tiles, and frame them in a matching solid, to the blue or gold in the patterned ones. It is lovely to hear the voices of children echoing through the chateau…life makes all the difference.🖤🇨🇦

[@ARTEMISE31]

Exactly what I had thought too.

[@wclukens]

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoy the Petherick's adventures and Ryan, Simon, Yannis, and the crew. Is Ryan in a relationship? My daughter thinks he's funny.

[@tamarrajames3590]

@@christikapa3856 Seeing the tiles laid out on the Altar piece, the red tone would also be gorgeous…I had forgotten how much of the red there was throughout the Chapel to tie it in. The grey and cream would be too neutral to my eye…so red or royal blue…yellow ochre as the lesser choice. I guess we will see what Billy decides.🖤🇨🇦

[@tamarrajames3590]

@@ARTEMISE31 It would look good with oak framing too, as Billy said…but over time the wear rate would be very different between tile and wood, so hopefully he will consider using one of the jewel tones from the tiles to give a classy finishing frame, and tie it all in together nicely. I love how he wastes nothing, and has an inventory in his head, and a work ethic that won’t take the easy way.🖤🇨🇦

[@tamarrajames3590]

@@wclukens I too really enjoy this talented group of friends, and seeing what they are up to next. I don’t know if Ryan is in a relationship, he certainly hasn’t given us any indications. He is a natural comedic showman…I agree with your Daughter.🖤🇨🇦

[@divaden47]

So interesting to note that when Ryan went to check out the end of the attic where footsteps were heard, that he approached with his arms outstretched and thereby making himself look bigger and prepared for a fight! This is exactly what animals, and other creatures, will do to scare off an enemy! Love it....and the tiles too.

[@sjldfilms5126]

I recommend fixed cameras throughout. Make it a new channel, a live channel, and let us have a look. 😊

[@johnje4285]

I think that the tiles will be ideal for the Convent altar area. If you have insufficient you can make a plain border picking out one of the colours in the pattern

[@barbarashapiro7499]

A border would be handsome and might finish off the 4-square design with a look of intention.

[@justsayin1958]

I agree - a nice tile border would finish it off nicely.

[@andreamalik2961]

That was my thought too - a tile border in one of the colours would make it look more purposeful. They're beautiful tiles.

[@julisign]

I love the respect and concern Billy showed for Ryan. His gentle words to Ryan about checking the sounds out now instead of waiting to help Ryan feel better were so sweet. That's true friendship.

[@peterturnbull9133]

Really like the tiles …the oak frame is a great idea, it will look much better finishing on a full tile at the edges than having a cut tile. Would be interesting if you put up some internal cameras at the convent to see if you capture anything when things get spooky.

[@reladie]

They are benevolent spirits obviously, just sprinkle holy water around, or better yet get your village priest to come in and bless your convent. You are doing a marvelous job restoring this beautiful convent. Love your bells and they do keep malevolent spirits at bay.

[@pinkelephants1421]

​@@reladieIt would be a bit odd given the age and history of the place (if) it didn't come with the odd ghost or two. A simple blessing from the local priest should do the trick.

[@terrigray6044]

The tile is beautiful and compliments the other colors in the chapel. Be sure to check underneath the space where the alter was prior to covering it. Relics were often buried under alters. Even though any relics were probably removed with the alter, you might find other interesting items. Worth a look!

[@Utterandcompletenonsense]

Relics are placed within the altar stone itself.

[@clairetremblay3023]

Billy it's going to be beautiful! Your idea was very good. I was perplex at the beginning but now, I am not. With the oak around and everything, it is going to be beautiful! Bravo! 🔆

[@T-RexRita]

I would be so skidish working there alone, 👀looking over my shoulder every 2 seconds, I wouldn't get anything done 😳 The tiles look fantastic 😍

[@sharonanderson346]

OMG! You always come up with such beautiful things to redo your convent! I fall in love everyday with your visions! Those tiles are so beautiful!

[@tara0redwine]

Beautiful tiles! Looks great! The door closing totally freaked me out!!!

[@katherineb6102]

Wood heat warms you twice. When you cut it and when you burn it, but solar would be amazing. In the attic, sprinkle some chalk dust or flour on the floor, back you way out and then the next time you hear anything, check for footprints, large or small.

[@TR-rz1xt]

That was my thought with the chalk/flour, good plan.

[@T-RexRita]

Good thinking 👍

[@Mindsi]

The rats!!

[@timc3600]

I work on the theory of 4 times. You forgot the times when you stack it after its cut and when you move it from the wood store to the log basket.

[@judygillespie3242]

Ghosts don't leave footprints.

[@Tracy_R]

I loved hearing the sound of "lots of children" in the house. Looks like the party was a hit! Tiles & chandelier is bang on!! Blessings for abundance

[@nokesbob2256]

It is amazing, the size of the Chateau's basement. The ceilings are tall and there is so much space. The other day I was thinking about your Chateau and the convent and thinking that solar might be a really good option. Also, we heat with a heat pump and it's just great. Heats the whole place with no problem, then in the summer you reset it and it's an air conditioner and keeps you cool. Well, I have to say you and Ryan are a lot braver than I am. I heard the footsteps, but when that door shut and you both just stood there, I was like, why aren't they running away! Or checking behind the door! Crazy! The tiles look nice.

[@tinamarie5375]

I love the tiles. I think a tile in a solid complimentary color as the boarder would beautiful.

[@bowiearcangeli11]

So nice to see Yanis and Rick. I’ve missed both of them. Love the tiles. What a good choice for under the organ. Looked like a lovely party. Thanks for sharing 💜

[@LarcR]

The tiles are perfect! They will look great covering the old altar spot. As for any ghosts in the convent, I suspect they are very friendly spirits who would protect rather than harming you. It's the live ones you have to watch out for.

[@stuckinmopro8533]

I frankly can’t believe that there AREN’T ghosts in the convent which would explain the footsteps. What amazed me was that neither one of them were surprised by the door closing by itself!

[@jeancultice6859]

There was probably a draft from the other room if they left the outside door open in there.

[@tammyalgood]

I think the tiles with oak frame looking and sounds beautiful Billy! Hi Ryan!

[@Dormices]

@@tammyalgood I Agree!

[@Dormices]

I lived in a house once that had a fair amount of that sort of thing happen. Mostly the sounds were normal everyday noises like doors opening or footsteps and were only a surprise on discovering no one in the house at the time or the door shut when I had heard it open. I was irritated once to hear the squeaky door lever handle pressed and not released. I went to look but no one there. It never spooked me out at all. I once woke to hear my husband get out of bed but just stand still. I opened my eyes and saw him standing there with a slightly silly grin on his face. I noticed his cotton fabric pj's were uncreased and had all the buttons on. [very unusual!] I wondered why he just stood there when I heard him turn over in bed..''Oh, just a ghost!'' I turned over and went back to sleep.

[@letapearson5304]

There is enough space someone could live there, hiding from you!

[@sheilahartnagle6114]

I think these tiles will be a great addition to the convent and in the chapel room with the organ. Just beautiful.

[@Sunfl75]

@@alexandrudorobat7386 Blessing? someone stormed out, more like it. Tiling over an altar space is no small thing to a nun. The minute they said it out loud they heard a noise of someone choking on their table wine. How precious. You just have to love the old ladies.

Love the tile look. It looks like a small rug and it will be under the organist's bench. Nice!

[@sabrinaqualley5743]

The tiles are fantastic - I love them there. Can hardly wait to see the organ get re-assembled. At my house, what sounds like footsteps on the roof always turns out to be larger birds, like crows, that are walking along. However, given the distance to the convent roof, it seems unlikely that you're hearing bird footsteps.

[@jayjay2129]

I think the tiles look really nice, perfect for the alter. And like Ryan said, instead of off cuts, leave them as they are with a nice oak framing.

[@ROSEMARY1925]

The tiles look great. The design is amazing and the colors are beautiful. Good for you. I’m glad you found them and I’m glad that they all fit as for the footsteps not to worry “God is in control” and he’s taking care of everyone and your family and everyone everywhere else Just remember and they are not part of God they do not belong there.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🥰

Oh Billy you have such an engineering brain and so much foresight about heating.. In Canada Manitobans have resorted to pellet stoves as they get their alfalfa pellets from the prairies cheap.. The rest of the provinces who try, do solar panels and geothermal... The guy from Container Living in US did his own solar.. Learn as you go... So I was thinking about those lovely tiles.. if you don't have enough maybe you can get enough to do a border in an compatible pattern? So admire all you do... Wish I was younger.. I would do more here.

[@michellewilliamson449]

The tiles are perfect and not too loud for the surroundings. Plus, it picks up other colors in the chapel. Good choice!

[@mavep2855]

The tiles look very nice in the chapel! Spooky hearing footsteps overhead but perhaps they are friendly. Thanks Billy🙏❤️

[@annaleigh78]

This is my first comment on this channel, woohoo! Those tiles are absolutely gorgeous, but I personally wouldn't use them there. There is so much beautiful artwork on the ceiling and in other parts of the chapel that I would just use a plain tile, maybe with a simple border. That way, it wouldn't detract from the other beautiful patterns.

[@jillfatucchi8264]

Hi Billy, Those tiles are so beautiful and absolutely the right thing to go on the altar space. The chapel is going to be so stunning when the organ is rebuilt and the tiles are down. You need to source and equally beautiful stool for the organ master to sit on whilst he plays the fantastic organ. Just need to mention that the chapel bell has a delightful sound. Lots of love to all Jill, Birmingham U.K. XXXXXXXXXXX

[@flibbertygibbette]

I really like the idea of setting off the old location of the altar with these tiles. It marks the history of the place while making the space more usable, rather than trying to make it look like the altar never existed. And the tiles are beautiful. I wonder whether a very small bronze plaque set into the oak framing around the tiles would be nice, something to tell people who care to look closely what that space is. Maybe that'd be too much.

[@deannayoung5311]

Gorgeous tiles! I like that you are going to mark the space, rather than just filling it in with wood. Good call. Sorry for your headache, lol. 🧡

[@EagerMeadows-nb2pj]

You probably are already done with this tile project but I would have suggested a frame too but of a solid color of tile cut into framing pieces uniformly colored like the least used color of the patterned tiles. The tile you picked is so beautiful and perfect for these old structures.

[@elf5012]

What a fantastic party. Happy Halloween everyone! The tiles are perfect and playing that beautiful organ may deter any negative spirits from staying there. I think there is no doubt that the Convent has many spirits who have never left. That door slamming scared me and you two were so calm.

[@gardenartbytraysea]

There are no negative spirits there, only happy thankful ones❤❤

[@user-hn3nv7ox3x]

It is 3:15 PM here in Grenada, MS., On Sunday October 29th. . I think the tiles are beautiful! And like Ryan , the footsteps are quite concerning. Especially since there had been an odd man lurking about earlier. Hopefully he was just curious, and nothing negative will become from him. Someone had noted their believe of possible ghost, I was told at an early age, " we have nothing to fear from the dead, only the living." I will keep y'all in my prayers. All the work y'all have put into the Cnvent has been wonderful !

[@b1rd1ekrukar]

The dark blue, bulbous Celtic(?) crosses are what first caught my eye. The rest ,serendipitous. Hard to imagine any of the former occupants bearing ill toward the present ones. Just unfinished emotions, talking about how uneasy you are when you experience these moments is helpful. Like small children know,the loudest noise gets attention.The renovation process is stirring up so much energy stuff from the site of devotion,war,wounded, changing times and yes as you observed, wonder what they were praying about?

[@zarazara6273]

Beautiful encaustic tiles. They look perfect for the area where the organ will be. An oak surround sounds just the ticket.

[@normamurray4450]

The tiles are perfect Billy!!! An oak frame to highlight it would be the icing on the cake, as the saying goes! Maybe sprinkle some flour on the upper floor to see if there are any footprints days later? Maybe it was a crow or other large bird pecking for bugs in the roof tiles....the crows in my area sure make a noticeable thumping sound on my roof! Just a thought.

I also have photovoltaic panels for my off-the-grid Barndominium (Amish-built steel barn tuned into a garage and living space), and considered recirculating fluid in-ground heat pump, any people I know who had them say they are a huge drain on electric usage. Though it would need underground lines to be laid for recirculating a non-toxic antifreeze, heat from the ground is much less of a draw than air-to-air.

[@Moonbatcrazy]

Tiles with oak trim - Yes ! Footsteps - the section of the attic that had the presumed area where someone may have stayed with the picture of Christ and the straw bed. Was it above the chapel area, above the area where the Oregon will be? You should find the records of those who died at the convent. The one who is observing you is the one who decided and by choice to stay, is still there as a self appointed guardian of the convent. which was was dearly loved and dedicated personally by choice. Embrace those who wish Goodwill. And are so excited of the renovations. The ring, Isabel will answer to her that you know she exists and her devotion. Blessings will be of the safety and protections from the young novice, who has never left, nor shall. “ blessed be the meek, or they shell inherit the Earth”.
