I'm sure Simon is watching the videos and being very proud of Yanis, as he should be. He should also pat himself on the back for sharing his knowledge to a very work-minded young man. Bravo to you both!

[@drummerlovesbookworm9738]

Simon is not just a master craftsman, he’s a gifted teacher. A lot of people can do something well but don’t have the ability to pass it on.

[@paulinefreeman9492]

Thankyou Simon for teaching Yanis your fabulous skills hes doing amazing xxx

[@cliveklg7739]

And when Simon gets back, the amount of plastering they can barrel through on the upstairs renovation will really make that go by quick

[@helenf9650]

And thank you Yanis for being a great student and taking pride in your accomplishments!

[@moelassus]

Yanis is a proper craftsman. He should be so proud of the skills he has developed with Simon's help.

Your tribute to Yanis made me cry! Everyone is so proud of him!

Yep...I have said it before on here and I will say it again now and probably will in the future...that Yanis is a pure TREASURE! He is sooo willing to learn and DO everything. Very very rare with todays kids.

Simon is a true craftsman, he is sharing his knowledge with Yanis. Yanis is doing a terrific job.

[@bonniealvarez5510]

"Simon, you saw something in this young apprentice. Thank you for gifting him with your expertise. That's what 'elders' are supposed to; pass it down; hand it over with no threatened ego." Rick: such a positive partner in this work. What you do doesn't go unnoticed. You too are an expert in your field. Do you know how many men HATE to paint? You are not one of those men. You love it. Billy: Leadership with total positive encouragement is just as important as the salaries these men earn. You're a great person. So, friends, never lose a day to give work that is at one's best abilities. Crack on Dudes!

[@elizabethcarboni9138]

Yanis is very lucky that he had a wonderul kind, patient and caring teacher like Simon. Yanis is such a hard worker. He’s a keeper!

[@myrnamcmillan4755]

Billy well done giving a shout out to lovely Simon and YANNIS Rick as well what a team you have.😊

[@Djh_Tx]

Yanis this is for you young man. I am so proud of you and the progress in your skill set. Johnny Depp said someone handed him the ball of being an actor and he just knew he had to run with it. He realized when someone gives of themselves for the betterment of another and that person takes that kindness and runs with to see where they can go. I see this in you and how hard you work and try and please Billy and Simon with your work. Keep going Yanis!!! And Simon and Billy you two have made a difference in Yanis’ life, you should be proud of his accomplishments and a BIG pat on the back. ❤

[@michellewilliamson449]

Yannis and Rick are doing a wonderful job and as you said, Simon should be proud of his apprentice! Looking forward to the continued progress at the convent!❤ p.s. Billy, you and your brother are looking very fit these days; well done to you both!

[@annfinnegan2791]

Yanis has come into his own and such a hard worker .Simon was so kind and patient isn't great to see his pupil excel 😊

[@maryp2747]

I love it when all these channels cross over, Phil's, Ryan's, Michael's, The Moons. It gives another perspective. We are all very proud of the skills Yannis has developed. You have an amazingly talented crew, Billy.

What Yanis and Simmon have together is a truly beautiful thing. So much love and kindness between them two. Just so amazed by you all

[@castingshadows282]

A wonderful tribute given to Simon for his generous passing down of knowledge to Yanis, Billy. That was very thoughtful of you. You are a decent man and you have shown it through your amazing hard work that you have shown here on KZbin. Well done to you also Billy. 🖖

How wonderful to see a group of guys working together for the benefit of all! Yanis is doing an awesome job! Simon must be so proud! Nice to see Phil!

Hi Billy, Simon has given Yanis the gift of a trade, Yanis was a willing student, to listen, learn and do. Simon wherever you are be very proud of your apprentice. He is doing well. Nice job Rick and Yanis on your work in the kitchen. Always nice to see Phil, thanks for his help in the Refectory. Billy you really do have an amazing team, they have an amazing boss. Well done everyone.

Bringing young men up in the trades is the only way to keep the skills alive. Well done Simon and Yanis.

[@eleanorchapple8772]

I’m so glad to see you again in front of the camera. You’re a marvellous man to be able to attract so many loyal and generous and gifted men around you. Your vison for the use and design of interior spaces is inspiring.

[@dianetipton6040]

Simon has a lot to be proud of in Yanis. The thing about Yanis where he deserves extra credit is that unlike so many folks, he is talented but humble and willing to listen and learn. He is a hard worker and respected everything Simon did for him. His success belongs to him now and my hope is someday he will similarly pass what he is learned from Simon and his own hard work onto another young deserving person.

[@hudvalboy]

LOL, "While His Lordship, my brother, is away." You two make a great pairing. I'd love to hear from your family about how you guys interacted as kids. I enjoy the research that Michael shares with us as he works on some of these projects, and how Billy keeps Michael engaged in the work. I feel the familial love. I want to see more of you guys working with your dad like when you guys were doing the cottage pavers.

[@valeriehowden471]

Future home of the olive tree! First it has to be moved several times - kitchen, chateau etc ...

[@ThePethericks]

exactly!

[@elisabethhopson5639]

Maybe the olive should just be moved into the garden and made into a feature there. The chateau terrace needs a bit of colour like bougainvillias and palms for structure. Maybe a tree fern or two? 😄

[@mradford10]

Simon has been so generous with sharing his knowledge and skill, and Yanis has been a keen and respectful student. The world needs more men like both of them. Goes to show that time and attention can get great outcomes. They are both richer in character for it.

[@JamesWestAZ]

Kitchen is coming along quite fast and looking great. The paint, filling the holes, and the new plastering. Amazing. Speaking of plastering.......... Think maybe Yanis has earned some new tools?? Bet he'd love his own new trowels, and a mud board...........

[@stewartmcardle8149]

Yannis has really blossomed under Simon's tutelage.

[@JennyA1961]

You have had and continue to have, amazing workers, friends and family contributing to your renovations. It's a pleasure to see the skill and workmanship. Crack On! ❤🐨

[@lisaakinlabi]

It is certainly very clear that Simon is an excellent teacher. He not only helped Yanis gain skills, who was a wonderful apprentice, he help viewers better understand the process. He took time to explain things concisely and clearly. As a regular viewer I also know Billy that you are grateful and and blessed with everyone who has loved and supported you. You have shown you are an upstanding man and a dedicated hard worker. This in turn shows that one can also learn and gain skills in all aspects of life. To you all "crack on" and continue on this path, because that's what life is, growing, learning, friendships, kindness, love and dedication. :)

[@kathyhudson4352]

Simon IS an excellent craftsman and a great and patient teacher. But Yanis is a very quick learner and has absorbed the lessons as though born to this work. Billy you are fortunate to have the crew of expert craftsmen that you have on your team. Michael, Rick, Paddy, the electrician: they are all amazing at what they do!

[@mspeachy3226]

Will someone please suggest to Yannis to take pictures of the job he’s done so he can start a portfolio of his work for future jobs?

[@cathyblackhall5237]

He’s got the videos 😊

[@mspeachy3226]

@cathyblackhall5237, yes, the videos are there for sure. But it’s easier for a potential customer to flip through a portfolio book to see jobs than to slog through tons of videos. Just my thoughts.

[@testfiretest3418]

❤❤❤❤❤ It's great to have a friend like Phil 😍🥰🤩 👍 👍 👍

[@smac4565]

That is what is missing today, craftsmen learning their trade from a master craftsman. That’s the way it used to be a Simon teaching an apprentice like Yannis his trade. Not everyone needs college. That is one thing AI can’t do is plaster a wall, or fix a toilet or put in/fix HVAC. We need more skilled tradesmen like Simon and his apprentice Yannis.

[@Yvissinee]

wonderful to see the convent. but I still like to see the chateau projects more because it will one day become your family home and I like it for Gwen, she deserves it❤️❤️

[@florentinalily]

What else would a trade do but pass down the knowledge to an apprentice? It was always thus. Luckily Yanis is a worker and intelligent enough to absorb what he is being taught and learns quickly. It takes a lifetime to learn a trade. Its a constant learning curve for everyone. The ultimate beneficiaries are you wonderful Petherick's; what a superb source of knowledge you have available to you. Well done all of you and so lovely to hear you being so appreciative of the trades. All looking great! thanks for the vlog, a joy.

[@peterwhite9261]

The kitchen is looking transformed already. Great work, guys. Yannis and Rick are the dream team. Simon, I know you are proud of Yannis.❤

[@mikedonow3304]

It would be a great kindness to bring the super team to Phil's chateau for a day of solid action. He has earned some Pethericks kisses.

I truly enjoy the Chateau work, I very much also enjoy seeing work resume at the Convent. Crack On!, Billy, and team. Simon, and indeed everyone who has participated in these journeys are exceptional. I am very happy Yanis has become such a valued team member.

[@cbrashsorensen]

The kitchen in the basement is already lighter. Getting the paint undercoat in white is a great benefit and then the plastering of the walls. I can really begin to get a feel for the space, I am hoping Michael has a great holiday in the Lake Country--much deserved. Getting the Convent ready for the next step in demolition is a long time coming. Bravo.

[@margielynch7196]

I so enjoyed the ballet you and Phil graced us with 😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉❤

[@l.5857]

I have enjoyed all the videos of the Chateau and Convent renovations but also what a wonderful videography for Yannis to look back on and see all the skills he has learned since coming to the Chateau. As his skill level increases, so does his confidence. Bravo Yannis.

[@bobr9895]

And Simon made it look so easy I'm sure that worked in Yannis favor by putting him at ease while he was learning.😊

[@kathywillis7459]

Billy, you are also part of that dream team. If you weren’t such a terrific boss, the guys wouldn’t feel so appreciated and work that hard. You are all terrific!

I kinda like how the steel work looks with the pits from the rust removal--gives it character. Looks like Yanis and Rick are doing a great job. Guessing Simon will be proud of his apprentice when he sees the work that Yanis has been doing. Can't wait to see how Yanis does on the ceiling--guessing that will not be easy to do. Hopefully Michael will bring his workers a bit of a treat from his travels. 😉
