Revealing The Original 250 Year Old Staircase

[@francesjtallant7858]

Thank you gentlemen for starting this project with staircase. This is one of the many things that I couldn't wait for you to open up. It's going to look absolutely beautiful once the staircase is open up

[@rose101dw]

Me too ❤

[@orangemanok5800]

Yes. It was like a classic car with hideous ground effects tacked on. The original designers knew best. Watching Yannis peel away the ick is a thrill.

[@nancyhenry3203]

Yes, gorgeous staircase! Love the way the space is so filled with light, tpp. ❤

[@sheilas.6170]

I believe Yanis loves demo. He went to town tarring that roof and wall out.😊

[@angelinagalvez9031]

Yes, same here!!❤👏👏👏

[@emunahjohnson9035]

Yanis was a beast! The way he kicked through the wall and then gave the cheeky grin. Y'all are doing a fabulous job.

[@hectorpascal]

He's a natural demolition guy!

[@janetwatson7966]

The stairs look great with all the natural lighting

[@homecoming46]

Suddenly the staircase feels less spooky!

[@Kim-fe2sg]

EXHAUSTED just watching Yanis. Incredible strength and energy!!

[@squirrelswithpearls]

He's a machine!

[@Robin-xr2tz]

I’m tired and I need a shower

[@RainboCatz]

He's the Convents Energizer Bunny!

[@gioiapharo7433]

power house this one

[@thepeanutgallery1699]

I feel like he's the embodiment of 'ant-man' - pound for pound, the power and energy he wields is amazing!

[@suemccoy7533]

Great Job "Team Petherick"! The staircase has become even more beautiful with all the light streaming in now. Yanis is a demolition dynamo!!! Billy this old historic building will be even more gorgeous when you get it all renovated.

[@normamurray4450]

What a difference the open stair case will make....Yanis is to be applauded for his ongoing energy...wow! Great team with Rick and Mick and Yanis. It's getting done Billy and I love your ongoing vision.

[@marytaylor9185]

You can already see the light shine in. The area will be brighter............and all the demolition and disposing of materials, I am truly amazed that a window hasn't been broken......YET!

[@judigallagher1926]

I was excited to see the oppening of the staircase. Stairways can hold a lot of spirtual energy. Going up to bed, going down for your meals. Going up the stairs to see the mother superior. Maybe helping to hide the priest behind the wall in a secret place. You are alone with your thougths as you go up or down. Looking forward to seeing the stairs cleaned and polished. Well done Yanis , Rick, Dad and Billy...

[@kathyrogers1703]

Great content today! Yes! Yanis is practically a one man demolition team.😂 But everyone else did a great job chipping in to help when I'm sure that Yanis was exhausted! 🎉 That staircase will be beautiful once it is completely revealed. I am more excited about this than any of the other demolitions because this reveals something 😍 from the past.❤

[@susanvaughan4210]

If you could bottle the sunshine in Rick's smile, and the mojo in Yanis' moves, we'd all be dancing all the time.

[@ptqt25sussex5]

And Billy’s dedication to heritage and Mr Petherick’s expertise.

[@carlatkins4479]

There’s a saying here in the States: Damn skippy.

[@elisabethhopson5639]

Yanis in full demo mode is a thing of awesome beauty! Several Weetabix this morning then. Great work gentlemen, revealing this lovely staircase is another breath of fresh air for the convent. 😄

[@elisabethhopson5639]

@lyndamorrissey6646 got any plans for pulverising brick walls? Ripping out some ceilings to boot?? 😆🤩

[@suediprose7623]

Great to see a different part of convent receiving attention. Love it x

[@Gramma_Holly]

The staircase is beautiful! We can see more beams in the ceiling--do you plan to sandblast them and plaster like the ones in the other rooms? That whole area will be stunning when you are done with it!

[@ThePethericks]

Definitely sand blasting someone decided to white wash the underside of the staircase and the rest of the ceiling is covered in paint so it needs doing

[@JuSutton]

@@ThePethericks Fantastic. The sandblasting, sealing them and plastering by super Simon has added such a wonderful dimension to the other rooms you have elevated - well done on your vision as always elegant and contemporary.

[@onemorejennifer6954]

The intro with the beautiful music is so lovely.

[@CollaborativeDog]

This is definitely a fun project to watch. It is not so much demo as it is revealing, if that makes sense. Kind of like an archeological dig. 😊❤ Yanis definitely needs another carrot for today!😂

[@karensimons9260]

A (large building) striptease!? Piece by piece, the layers are coming off.....

[@tinadavis5626]

Love that intro drone shot and music! Spooky and beautiful!

[@janetwatson7966]

I thought it was romantic music of a gone by era. Romanic, sweet and reminiscence

[@tinadavis5626]

@ spooky (drone shot) and beautiful (music). 🥰

[@pamabernathy8728]

Agree!!

[@beaniecat1980]

Again and again, as you are doing new projects and uncovering things, I think, " Why on earth did they cover that ( fireplaces, staircases, ect. ) ?! Or why did they do that?!" I bet you feel the same. The staircase is beautiful! You guys really got a lot cleared out today. Go, Yanis!! 😊

[@LadyIarConnacht]

I think while the restoration is beautiful, it would also make this building impossible to heat.

[@suek7086]

Great job on the demolition. Lovely music.

[@kathyhembyhewett6109]

I love that music!!! AND!!! I am so excited to get to see that offending wall come down!! ❤ finally! We can see the light and the stairway. So cool. What a great day!!!

[@jannahughes3121]

I have looked forward to seeing this old banister revealed since I first saw it. This is going to be amazing, can’t wait to see it revealed piece by piece brick by brick. Well done men.

[@chrismacdonald7955]

Wonderful to finally see that beautiful staircase at last ! What a great job the guys did, all working so hard. Yanis is an AMAZING hard worker, the guy never slows down all day. He's the DEMO KING !!! Well done the entire team. 😀

[@GeneneCroy]

Wow Billy! The stairs case in pretty. It will be amazing when you are done with it. Great find. The convent just keep on giving. See you tomorrow!

[@rose101dw]

Beautiful old staircase ❤ love seeing it all lit up! It was so dark.

[@wrkey]

6:40... literally laughed out loud as Yannis pops out the wall! LMAO! I was very glad to see more "revealing" work and thus breaking up the monotony of required work that was taking up the last week or so. I love this channel and eagerly anticipate each video every day.

[@veronicaambler1846]

Absolutely flooded the place with light! It really needed it, and makes the place look even bigger!

[@grahambarnett6107]

Love the intro and how you trained the pigeons to fly across the path of the drone on cue lol

[@brandyjean7015]

😂😂😂

[@thegirlatthebeach3221]

Wow! Yanis is getting strong! Love watching the demo

[@jacquelinenoble6640]

Demolition, man, Yannis!! Great work by Dad Rick and yourself, Billy. Lovely to see that staircase coming back into the light. 😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@dorothywalters7448]

Yanis puts his all in his work! Rick and your dad aren't far behind. I'm amazed at the beauty of all that staircase. And now we'll be able to see it all. Thanks for putting these changes on record for the ages Billy !!!

[@sarrahvaughn6307]

The camera work and editing is always on point!!

[@NatiHerron]

What a difference, gorgeous staircase and all that light streaming in!

[@pamelawright1369]

Great work, lovely staircase, thank you for sharing 😊

[@attilladacook3405]

I love watching your projects. Every time you start it’s like peeling an onion and seeing the suprise of all the different layers and history of the convent’s existence. Thankyou for sharing your progress with us on KZbin

[@Isabelle-hk1og]

Yannis, your family and friends must be very proud of you, vraiment, you are amazing 👍👍

[@tara0redwine]

Wow! That staircase is beautiful!

[@janet-k8b]

Billy your vison is fantastic ,great work team.

[@gordonulrickson3626]

Note of caution you should pull the florescent tubes rather than letting them drop and smash they contain mercury and the thin glass is easy to get cut on. Amazing progress they got way more done than you expected. That area looks so interesting I can't wait to see it all done up...

[@TheSilmarillian]

And arsenic I believe .

[@triciac1019]

​@TheSilmarillian you are correct.

[@TheSilmarillian]

@@triciac1019 Thank you.

[@heatherjohnson487]

This just became my favorite of the convent projects so far. All that natural light is so beautiful!

[@busterdee8228]

Soft, natural light is your friend😁

I wholeheartedly agree, but I adore watching the Pentherick’s do their work

[@angelamoreno5914]

The staircase looks gorgeous with all the natural lighting coming in!

[@craftycalley]

What a difference in the light getting into that staircase area now.

[@Sharon-hn9wn]

Then Billy brings out the big equipment. Terrific job, Billy. The team was impressive ! 👍

[@thepenelopejones]

Backbreaking but so worth it - one will truly see the magnificense of the staircase - unobstructed Time for a shower and cold pint lads well done!!

[@deborahroberts1300]

The staircase is looking lovely all of a sudden. Let the light in and Wallah !!❤ great job boys, your CRACKING it.

[@lindsayjames216]

This was so satisfying to watch. More natural light already on the stairs and those old beams exposed. Lovely job. 👏👏

[@A_ViewerYT]

I've looked forward to seeing what the stairs would look like, and today I finally got my wish. Great work guys thank you.

[@mrsmiggins6435]

How satisfying. Great job, Yanis was like a piece of dynamite lol🤗🇬🇧

[@suzannemckitterick2781]

Great photos and exceptional music, Billy (classical pianist,here). Your taste is to be commended...makes your videos like great movie-watching. Each episode is a new adventure. Your musical choices transport us to exciting caverns in our own psyches, and that makes us hooked on watching; it is like our hearts need to discover what is to be found in each episode. Your music, Billy, has penetrated our deepest chasms and special places. It is a gift; use it by sharing these wonderfully exciting voyages, through your Chosen "Billy's magical musical tours" to our inner realms of thought, nostalgia and emotions. It's maybe why you have so many folllowers...and only you, Billy, have somehow, become master of these "sound presentations." I know I feel better for the rest of the day after your Petherick Show. Go figure. Don't knock a gift. It is yours, just share it (please). Augmenting your superb videos, you have the best crews that money could buy...Rick, Steve, Mick, Yannis, Simon, Nick, Brian, Phil, Michael. Incredible. And Shelly, Gwendolyn, Sadie and her daughter, Ernest and Archie, dogs, cats, horses, and little MrPig, too...a real minagerie. and a whole cast of characters, that enhances the production. Keep blooming, kid.

[@patricefox8672]

Yanis and Rick are the original demo men... They make short work of knocking down ceilings and walls...the stairway is going to "breathe" again!💖Billy, you have a great team! Mr.P., you and your wife have raised up some incredible humans!!!

[@AliWade1971]

Don’t forget ‘Demolition Steve’ 😀

[@JuSutton]

What a sterling effort by everyone and particularly Yanis with the sledge hammer - wow! So glad you decided to reveal the staircase it looks amazing as do the very decorative finials - wow! Can't wait to see that last piece of wall come down. 👍👍🔨🔨💪💪

[@joannemacintyre251]

A glimpse of the majesty to come of that staircase!👍🏻👍🏻

[@IngeDemmendaal]

I'm saddened that they probably demolished a similar staircase when the elevator got installed

[@JuSutton]

@@IngeDemmendaal Im sure Billy will find a suitably "characterful" lift to go in its place.

[@CAOceanWaves]

I'm glad you explained that in the end. I was so confused why someone would build concrete rooms underneath the stairs just for storage space. And the wall above the stairs didn't make sense to me. It just blocked out the window and all the natural light that it brings in. The stairs are already looking a LOT better!

[@Star_enilnO]

Wow! What a difference!

[@janeblandford852]

Opening up this stairwell is truly a treasure find in this convent....it is going to be absolutely beautiful when restored. This will be one of my favourite reveals!!

[@sharrond2436]

Amazing how much more light gets in just with that bit removed

[@BradVaughn]

Opening up the staircase will be amazing. It is so majestic. Yanis is a one man wrecking machine.

[@jangriffiths8013]

Love watching Yanis! He's truly entertaining!

[@Ssmith248]

They have done an amazing job. It looks great. I just love watching the progress. The kitchen is beautiful and I can’t wait to see the library ❤

[@laurabronson6173]

Music selections have been spot on Billy!

[@heidit8009]

I did appreciate earlier music selections of blues, etc, more. I find the current selections to be more like soporific elevator music but I appear to be in the minority. No matter what the music, the videos are always amazing!

[@claret6937]

And the light came in and the space was opened up and the atmosphere changed immediately. You make it look so easy but so much hard work.

Damn....Yanis nearly nailed you at one point...lol! He is a beast!! Love Yanis!! Please hit Like and Subscribe for Billy!!!♥

[@vincentdorsey8545]

I like watching Yanis! Skill, Power, and Determination.....The Destructor

[@chillnophone2024]

Thank you, Billy & Co.❣️💯

[@mradford10]

Brilliant. Already looks 100% better than it did. The stairs will be a massive, massive project with so much timber in the treads and tight space in the balustrade, but it’s great to get it started.

[@pamabernathy8728]

Great progress & 😊 to see the staircase revealed!

[@karladenton5034]

Ah, that lovely finial immured in the upper wall. SO glad it survived. Plus "let's focus on the ceiling" ---- Yanis demos ceiling, wall, staircase .... What a man!

[@valentinerichardbarker8765]

That staircase is going to be absolutely beautiful once it’s freed up from the later surrounding structures. I’m nobody to tell you what to do, but please please look after it!

[@sixtenjohansson4246]

"Let there be light.." And you lot came and made it all light and bright and airy again. As it should be. Well done! I think there might be a nun or two watching over you and shedding a tear of joy or two. I know I am.

[@garyrourke8201]

Yanis is like a madman swinging that hammer.

[@mollysheridan7134]

Yanis is in his element. Go Yanis! I can’t wait to see the staircase revealed. Do we know if the other balustrade is there and intact? Or has there ever been two balustrades?

[@catherinesommer3648]

Please wear masks when you are doing this kind of demolition work, so much dust can ruin your lungs. We care about your health!

[@milkweeddreams8828]

Oh, my goodness, I couldn't wait to see the reveal of those stairs and it is far more magnificent than imagined, and that ceiling, a back breaking job to be fair...but WOW, just look at it...GRAND...!

[@juliedavis3575]

My shoulders ache watching ya'll swinging that sledgehammer. Thank you for the video.

[@maxinecapewelll]

It's amazing the amount of work you have all done today. What a beautiful staircase it is. It truly does need to be brought back to life and how much light that is coming back into the building will showcase it's beauty. Well done 🎉🎉🎉🎉

I am totally without words at the effort put in and work accomplished today. I am so excited to see where this goes.
