Sealing The Floor

[@paulacorreal1675]

Well, I have but one thing to say … when you’re done with that kitchen floor you can be very proud as, in my opinion, you’ve done it almost entirely by yourself. Kudoes to you Billy for a job very well done. Still enjoying from PA, USA.

[@ericscher2346]

I believe Ryan laid a tile. Or does that not count because it had to be reset? ;-)

[@dellamcconnochie]

What a achievement Billy floor looks amazing🎉

[@judithfryer7024]

Totally agree. Fantastic job Billy 😊

[@lindamitman4538]

@@ericscher2346Ryan helped reset the tile that Billy laid without buttering the back of the tile which caused it the issue. Gotta give Ryan credit for the repair, guided by Billy.

[@kimberlyjohnson7195]

Yes but at the start Ryan did put a few done to learn how to lay floors

[@MaryDalton64]

Billy, the floor looks absolutely stunning! You have done an exceptional job. Who would have imagined when we first saw this room ( rooms really) that it could be transformed into something so beautiful? You definitely have a fantastic ability to see the true potential of a space and know exactly what it needs to bring it to life again.

[@connrich11]

That floor is absolutely stunning! You are doing an awesome job, Billy. The Nuns would be pleased.

[@patriciaarroni2142]

They'll be asking to come back😊

[@lorelebeverland5585]

I've been waiting for this video. It's is just as awesome as I thought it would be. Thank you, Father Paul, for being there to help them get the organ together if they need it. What a blessing to have the organ in the convent. Thanks to the board who agreed to this project. Christmas hymms will be fantastic.

[@doloresbrady3698]

Sealing the floor has everything popping. The fireplace block, the wood beams, the oak doors, just everything. Well done Billy, your labor of love is amazing!

[@buckpalmore4949]

Watching the elegant kitchen floor come into being has been one of my daily pleasures. Thank you from Virginia (USA).

[@mavep2855]

[@lynnpetti3817]

I’m sure you are thrilled to have the laying of the tiles done. Looks spectacular.

[@stewartmcardle8149]

The first coat of the Osmo sealant already makes a really significant difference to the aesthetics of the tiled floor. Lovely.

[@dabigwilli]

Thank you for the work you do. Most likely I’ll never see it in person but the world is a richer place with the work you do to preserve, restore and maintain these beautiful structures and places.

[@theresafox4367]

The colors in the floor are beautiful.

[@ruthgedenberg5441]

That kitchen is lookig just gorgeous so far!! I am getting anxious to see it with all the appliances, cupboards, etc. And that organ in the chaple....I'm so anxious to see it done! Even though this whole thing is terribly slow, I faithfully watch it every day!

[@daisylovelock9553]

Ruth, it would be slow if I was doing it, I would still be on the courtyard, mowing the lawn, pre cobbles..Bless yer

[@juliehinkel608]

I look forward to the sound of the bell on Christmas Day and the sound of the organ. I often think of the elderly residents of your little town hearing sounds wafting through the air that they haven’t heard in 40 years.

[@elizabethzierke4733]

I see a festive dinner on Christmas eve. Then a hymn/carol concert in the chapel. ALL your viewers will be there in spirit with you. You give us great joy. God bless you all.

[@ehpeachylove]

Billy it’s all coming together nicely. This kitchen is going to be amazing. I’m so pleased someone with experience is coming to assist in putting the organ back together. Looking forward to next week. I hope you get some rest this weekend and spend time with the boys and Gwen. ❤❤❤

[@newfiedogmom]

WOW! Thank you Billy for all your hard work and sore knees! The floor is amazing!

The flor REALLY came alive with tje sealant. I was mesmerised as it grew before our very eyes, you must be proud of how beautifulnit has turned out? Brilliant job 👏 👍

[@GirdsHerStrength]

That looks tremendous! The naked tiles looked quite pink from here, but the Osmo has brought the tone more in line with the beams and doors. Lovely and warm now.

The floor is beautiful Billy 🎉 You are amazing , great to watch tour vision come together . Thank you for sharing 😊😊

[@kipmistralllc5257]

This is one of the most interesting and exciting and beautiful transformations I have seen in historic building restorations. I keep wondering how glad the centuries of hard-working nuns would have been to be in this uplifting kitchen environment rather than the more archaic one they had to live with. Thank you for sharing your journey!

[@kathyhembyhewett6109]

Billy, I love, love, love to listen to a Pipe Organ. It makes music sound so beautiful; especially Bach. I would really love to see you and Gwen renew your commitment to one other, in the chapel, with the pipe organ playing and all the friends and family there. That would be beautiful. ❤

[@Ali-cn1du]

That floor is elegant and really is in keeping with the time. Beautiful! The way the colors just jumped out! Fantastic!

Billy - you have accomplished what was once considered insurmountable !!! Congratulations 🎈🎊 It’s gorgeous ❤

[@mom-ys9sb]

Wow Billy ... you are amazing ... you did that whole floor - tiling, cutting, sealing - yourself. It really is amazing what you can accomplish . I'm very proud of you and I hope your family and friends know what a treasure you are. I'm sure they do ! Anyway congratulations on this milestone.! Have a super relaxing weekend - you deserve it !!!

[@raynaknierim7197]

Billy, the kitchen floor looks amazing! I was in awe once you started sealing it. So beautiful. So excited for the finished project. 😊❤ Great job.

[@AliWade1971]

Another positive day of work, Billy. The sealing will definitely make it easier to keep the floor clean in the future - a floor polisher will be a useful purchase. Excited to see the next stage of the Organ Project start, and to see Nick again.

[@melissamunro4042]

Hello Billy! The floor is looking amazing. I love these videos and honestly, they are the highlight of my day. Keep Crackin' On! Much respect from Manitoulin Island, Ontario, Canada.

He certainly did the quality materials he chose to work with proud in this kitchen. Every step so carefully planned and executed to create the vision he had in his mind’s eye from the start.

Its amazing! Tip: use your long handled dry mop to apply the sealer. It saved my back with our tiles.

[@jillychandler]

What a fantastic job you are doing on that beautiful tiled floor Billy! The grouting will be a bit of a fiddle I would think, and will take a couple of days for sure. You must be so proud of yourself for doing such a great job, and the fact that it looks so wonderful. xxx

Bye for now your follower Rosemary.🌹 and now I am off to see Ryan’s new video😄

[@tamarrajames3590]

Wow Billy, the difference with one coat of sealant is like night and day. All the complex tones and shades in the tiles just pop to life. What a thing of beauty you have created there, all the various pieces of work have merged into a perfect harmony as a basis for the pieces you will soon be able to install, and complete the room. I hope you feel proud to see your initial vision brought to life so beautifully. It is a true work of art, and a labour of love.🖤🇨🇦

[@marytaylor9185]

I'd like to book my 70th Birthday Party at the Convent. My family likes hanging around in the kitchen, so no need to have a party area. Island with stools will suffice. Also, an indoor bathroom next to the kitchen would be nice too. I'm 68 now, so it will give you 2 years to complete the kitchen. Looking forward to having Gwen call me about the reservation .............just kidding. I can imagine how beautiful the kitchen will be after all the "installments". Good going Billy!

Your right Billy that Osmo really brings out the colour in the tiles. Pity no one else could of started at the other end as it must of taken a while to do.

Hi Billy. You have done such an exceptional job on the kitchen floor. I'm excited to watch the organ build. Will the pipes be up against the wall of the sanctuary ?

I cannot wait for the organ to be finished. If the organ is completed for Christmas, Joy to the World should be the first piece performed.
