Knocking Up The First Library Wall

[@sandylee9564]

That little insert with Yanis shepherding that pig was clever.

[@pamelar5868]

I agree. That was cool. ❤

[@GoldenLady9779]

So sorry you're hurting today. I imagine the farmer appreciated getting his little wanderer back. You can add "pig wrangler" to your list of accomplishments now. 🥰 You both did a lot today and it's looking awesome.

[@meganhall1306]

Great music Billy. Please take care of your back we all LOVE you 🥰. So glad you rescued the pig xxx💕💕💕

[@BettyKoehler-zg5sv]

The library is really coming together! Great you have found someone who can help you with the staircase. Rescuing that pig was a real feather in your and Yanis’ hat! Hard to believe none of that traffic going by would stop. Looking forward to what is to come! Love from Pennsylvania, USA💕🌷🐻

[@lindabaker2905]

And also from 🇨🇦

[@vivienanderson603]

Carrying that chandelier back to your car the other day probably did as much damage to your back is pushing the pig 😊. Please go steady. You and Yanis are doing a terrific job

[@marysell6184]

Well done, Billy & Yanis, on all the progress made today! It is so enjoyable watching your dreams revealing themselves right before our eyes, Billy. Also, kudos to you and Yanis for helping the poor little lost pig get back home.

[@Robin-xr2tz]

Billy the library is coming along so nicely. Great job on saving the pig 👍🏻. I don’t know what I’d do without watching you work away on the convent.

[@marisnak]

Bless you for rescuing the pig! Thank you so much for caring!!

[@elf5012]

Have you considered a back brace while working? I know they helped my Dad when he and my Mom finished the work on our home so long ago. Hurray for saving the little, feisty pig. You and Yanis are the best team ever; I can't believe what you all have accomplished already.

[@Gyllsd1]

I was watching the video today, and just thought to myself, "I really like Billy." He has vision and resolve. This project is a major undertaking of time, capital and planning. I can feel the wheels in Billy's head turning as he fine tunes the process of bringing the convent back to life.

[@silviaalvesfernandes6662]

I really appreciate your perseverance, you and Yanis doing a great job. I like that you care about your purpose, it's very inspiring. Your wife is certainly proud of your dedication to the convent project, I remember exactly the video of her smiling with an envelope full of keys. See how much you've progressed. With patience and perseverance, focus, rhythm and continuity, everything progresses. No matter the volume of work, what matters is the satisfaction of seeing the stage defined for each day completed and the preparation, organization, for the following day. Inspecting this entire space is a lot of work, the external and internal part every day you look at it will always be studying the strategies and alternatives for each corner of this beautiful construction. Congratulations! Thanks for the video.

[@annettewalter2273]

So pleased you and Yanis rescued the pig. That would have warmed you up! I hope it was grateful. 😊😊

[@starryknightJAK]

So glad you helped the little pig find his way back home safely. Progress every day, love your videos.

[@joycasto9006]

This will soon be the library I dreamed of as a little girl. Billy, how do you do it. You bring visions to life! I see barriers...I am old and when I was young I was much less so...now that I am old I dream dreams and you seem to fulfill some of those .. thank you

[@nancyhenry3203]

New "wall" and temp door look great! Always like to hear stories like saving the 🐖. Bet he was happy to be off the busy road, even he did fight.

[@kapkone]

This is going to be so beautiful . It's very rare to see such dedication, day after day

[@pipemma1893]

Thank you for saving the pig, even if piggie wasn’t grateful. No one else stopped…

[@nelleg152]

You're making great progress Billy ❤

[@jacquelinenoble6640]

I feel your back pain Billy, take it easy. Great job saving the pig.😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@pamt7740]

I knew something was different!! You had your hair done! 😊

[@kimberlyobrien4677]

I love how everything's moving along there for you. You all seem to be Jack's of all trades 😊

[@Carol-lg6bk]

I hope Michael comes and plays the convent organ again this Christmas... I enjoy your channel(s) and I do miss Michael. Greetings from Canada!❤

[@AndreatheDoria]

Billy and Yanis wild life rescue too! Looking fantastic your moving so fast with what you can do on site!

[@donnasauer5462]

Amazing how transformed the room becomes with these starting walls....the rest will be amazing!!!

[@AngelaKalavritinos]

Oh Billy your an absolute crack up. Your back hurts from lifting the Gyprock or that heavy Chandelier not from herding a pig unless you lifted it . The renovation is coming along nicely. Your still young and in 5 years you should finish an Outstanding Project. I wish you all the best from AUS

[@phyrewillow6463]

Hello! This is my dream library! Love watching it come together! ❤

[@ishbelcumming8581]

Billy what an amazing lad you are I'm so impressed! My husband and I did a similar project, we were married for 42 years and extremely happy! All the best xx

[@laserwizard1]

Billy is a visionary. Love watching this channel. Keep up the great work!

[@delfinatorres7753]

Hello Billy and it's so great to see you today I love your channel and you never bored me you and yans are awesom thanks for saving the pig

[@AndreatheDoria]

Billy and Yanis wild life rescue too! Looking fantastic

[@jennifercampbell7698]

The library is leaping forward! Looking amazing! Well done Billy and Yanis! Billy, you talked of adding oak panels above the library shelving. I wonder have you thought of wallpaper murals with wallpaper borders over the top of the bookshelves? Looking at that plasterboard wall, I was picturing a wallpaper forest or rural scene mural or stencilled paper with it extending along the top of the bookshelves. It would save the cost of the oak panels and lift the room from all wood. You could even line the shelving or still have damask to match the colour scheme. Just a thought. ❤️❤️💪🏻📕📖📚

[@suecranfield5546]

Great days work by two wonderful workers! Well done Xx

[@soloauditor]

You have my admiration for making your vision a reality and doing it so very well!

[@joannemacintyre251]

I admire so many things on this channel, the work ethics from you (Billy) and all that are involved here, the cooperation between you all with every task, the commitment to five vlogs a week, and the generosity and just common decency displayed by all to all! 👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️ Edited to add…if those were 12’ sheets of gyprock (plaster board) that you were manhandling solo…then that’s just darn impressive “!

[@sharlenekennedy5380]

So excited to see the library come together!

[@karenlam2988]

Your dream is now becoming a wonderful reality! We are amazed and so impressed with all the hard work you are both dong to achieve it, and we love following your progress,

[@hayatwy]

Billy , I was raised a country girl we had pigs ,they get out a lot so here's a back saving tip .Take a stick and touch behind the ears .If you want it to go right tap the left ear and left is tap the right ear .Keep the stick touching their back and they will walk until you guide them in the pen .

[@RBa-si8nb]

Great video as always and some lovely music.❤️

[@JuneHebert-r7h]

Thank you for saving the pig 🐖. Hope your back heals quickly.

[@mrsmiggins6435]

Wee wee wee all the way home😃🤗🇬🇧

[@narellefurness6133]

[@gingerschatshow]

Glad that you saved the pig and he is ok and sorry you hurt your back Billy- if you can get Icy/Hot patches if they are carried their in France- it will help your back. Stay Safe....

[@juliequinlan6564]

Slowly but surely it’s coming together and we can really envisage what it’s going to look like - well done guys 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💙💙

[@72Mrmojojojo]

Billy it very therapeutic to watxh you and Yanis work. I am thankful for you and your family and friends. I follow you all.

[@janeimel7488]

Rest your back as much as you can. I can be patient, even though it is hard, but the results of your work are so worth the wait.

[@loraoflahrity130]

The best part about watching your videos is seeing the daily progress. You guys are awesome, thank you for a great video ❤

[@JanePate-j2m]

You are so amazing at the job you do. Everything is perfect square and precise I like that in a person you care about the things you do in your life not just building you care about the people you work with and are so grateful for them and giving. Thanks for your example.

[@ej12349]

Moving right along! Making a lot of progress!

[@dorothysmith3850]

Billy, you need a tool belt to hold the screws and a clip on your drill to clip onto the belt while you’re measuring and cutting the wallboard. It’ll cut your time in more than half.

[@pitsnipe5559]

I can just imagine the beautifully decorated library, dining room, and kitchen for Christmas 2025!

[@sparxnme22]

I believe Billy is an actual genius to think of how this library was to be before he built it.

[@Hollybank5]

You & Yanis are making terrific progress!! And wrangling a pig back home too ?!! ❤❤❤🎉

[@dawnfrost5374]

I must say Billy your looking really great with your beard and slim physique. Am I allowed to say that 😂❤ nowadays. Gwendoline has nothing to worry about I'm a granny 😂 and married.

[@jayjay2129]

Billy, you're amazing!! Transforming that spooky corridor into what it is now... You and Yannis and everyone else involved should be proud of what you've achieved!

[@marionryan582]

👍👍🤩🤩Billy and Yanis you are both amazing .

[@lindamitman4538]

Great work as usual Yanis and Billy. The clip of Yanis pushing the piggy home was so cute.

[@sandradrees5499]

So pleased you rescued the pig. Well done for your progress with the wall, it didn't look easy! Looking forward to what you do next x

[@juliekeys1880]

So glad you rescued the 🐖 👋👋👋😘

[@luckeytexans7287]

Excellent follow through! So happy for you all.

[@longie2484]

It must be eye watering the cost of this renovation let alone the whole cost when it’s done. It’s going to look fantastic though for sure. 👍

[@TLMarzewski]

The room is taking shape and looks amazing. I know keeping the heat in will feel like bliss on those cold mornings. Bless you guys for helping out the pig! ❤ Hope your back feels better tomorrow!

[@jennyvanderwesthuizen4321]

Just that wall done it looks cosy

[@arthurf.cleary4750]

Getting exiting ,well done 👍

[@AliWade1971]

I will admit, Billy, that I thought you were crazy with your ideas for a library 😀. Now it is coming to life ❤

[@theCPRgals]

Billy, I am so glad you helped the pig! That shows you are a man of character! (but we already know this)

[@dorothywalters7448]

It's a lucky pig! The work marches on and you have big dreams. Take care of yourself

[@sandrarenshaw-il2jz]

Congratulations Billy on your persistence on the family acquisition of Chateau Panard.. your body language on the purchase of the chandelier & arriving at the chateau & installation was so obvious that you had been anxiously awaiting this moment for quite some time...one would be led to believe that you had your eye on that chandelier for months & knew exactly where for 😉 Your passion for this chateau 12 months ago had me convinced this would be the eventual outcome...another Petherick asset compliments of Gwen & Billy maybe 🤔 A future project to keep you vlogging for years & the family occupied , your followers enthralled.We know the restoration of Chateau de Panard cannot be achieved without your passion & expert eye & work ethic to bring back its original grandeur.Mick was also in his ellement. In the meantime we know the Convent is needing you & what a beautiful functional space it will be for Gwen to run her business ventures from ..Crack On from Aus 🇭🇲

[@nicolinavincelli9369]

That is a lot of work carrying the drywall up those steps. Billy, has the will to get it completed in the library. I feel the same way, it's exciting.

[@phyllisracette1516]

So much to do! I enjoy watching the work being done from the demolition of the floors and walls, to exposing and finishing the rafters on the ceilings. And everything else you do! You all seem like nice people, and you are a fabulous boss. 😊

[@siameseire]

Exciting!!! such progress. and then the added joy of waiting for the millionth subscriber. LOL. ... 🤔😂😊 I am getting ahead of myself. Half a millionth!!! But Then a million. 😊 Onward!

[@chillnophone2024]

Half millionth...?

[@KimEllison-fe5qo]

No on to a million! Or two!

[@siameseire]

@@chillnophone2024 oh, yeah!! I am getting ahead of myself. LOL

[@susanvaughan4210]

Bravo Billy! for rescuing the poor pig. The library is really taking shape!

[@lyndaessman7603]

I so much appreciate how you keep your work areas so clean and tidy. Mucky Mansion stresses me out with all the half-swept messes and terrible lighting! Your library is an amazing thing to behold and starting with that fireplace proves you have had your priorities right from the start. After all, a library is much about atmosphere. Thank you for these videos. I am in the US, living in chaos. Your videos and your attitude is soothing to frayed nerves. I adore Janusz. He is a complete sweetheart.

[@caronmistry6171]

You are amazing! The library is going to be beautiful❤

[@FebrithDarkstar]

So glad you rescued the pig - well done you! Also, great work there, sorry about your back:(

[@lisajahn6839]

Lovely episode! Great progress! Thank you all! 😊❤💖🥰👍

[@ROSIEH007]

Thank you Billy for a great act of kindness to animals. Keep Crackin!

[@sharrond2436]

I love the way you keep reusing things like the door

[@joanneloftus2682]

Wow looks so much better well done x

[@janicerinker1607]

You are doing a great job! Thanks for sharing your journey!

[@merrileeheard3889]

I'm sure it feels like slow progress, but it's REALLY coming along!❤❤

[@littled7032]

Definitely is looking very pretty. You created a beautiful wall and lifting up all the plaster wall by yourself, it’s not easy. It’s very bad on your back, but I have to say you’re looking fantastic. You looking almost too skinny by the great job. Can’t wait to see the room being oral trip for the paint.

[@siameseire]

I'm sorry your body is glitched from being a Fine human being and rescuing the pig. I hope you and Yanis both feel pain free soon.

[@belinda922]

Feel better Billy Take care of your back 😊

[@TammyMullins-tp5uf]

Can't wait to see the library it's going to look awesome 😊

[@LorraineEffenbeck]

It will be alot warmer in the library now😊

[@debbiefairy62]

Its really coming together Billy, putting the wall up and starting the ceiling has made such a difference. Well done in saving the pig, you and Yanis make a great team

[@cathymackay3856]

love the pig story!

[@busterdee8228]

Billy sure has an eye for space. A short walk through the finished building will be like choosing between feasts.

[@maryp2747]

A old stained/leaded glass widow would look nice above the permanent library door.

[@drumminghands6356]

You’re doing amazing work❤

[@builtontherockhomestead9390]

Turmeric with a tiny bit of black pepper is a natural muscle relaxant. Also Tonic water helps muscle cramps.

[@TheFiown]

Just chop and change and sometimes do something you would like to do on the day, makes life more fun !

[@KonTikiBea]

Day by Day you have made so much progress from where you started. It's just going to take a little longer the wait will be so worth it when it's done! :)

[@msilas5577]

Happy about the piggy Billy, sorry about your sore back. Excuse for a nice massage… you could film that too 😉

[@irenemierzwa3790]

How kind you are as busy as you are you stopped to save the life of a little pig.

[@elizabethmcglothlin5406]

I know the idea is to retain heat but also gives a much better idea of the room's dimensions.

[@LorraineEffenbeck]

Hi from Kansas. Your doing a great job. Crack on

[@donnasteinberg1398]

Such hard work, but satisfying. Great job and Yanis too. Wonderful of you to get the Pig off the road and to its rightful home. Bummer about your back. Get a massage and lay on the floor! It helps. See ya tomorrow !

[@sixtenjohansson4246]

It feels like such a privilege to watch your ideas come together. ❤

[@suewestby824]

You continue to amaze with your bottomless energy. 😊

[@ITSONLYMEWATCHING]

You should do a gofundme for the staircase. I would donate to that for sure. It's what Mapperton did with their eagles. They raised like 30 grand.

[@reladie]

Me too for sure Billy 😁😁😁

[@ThePethericks]

thanks i’m okay doing go fund me for a good cause but for convent projects we can just make a load of videos to pay for it! easy that way, google can foot the bill 😂
