I LOVE Alex's Doggy ..❤ She's beautiful.!

[@liseboyd1014]

Oh Billy, you have my heartfelt understanding about bridezillas. I’ve been decorating wedding and other events for twelve years, and I’m about done. I don’t know what’s worse, bride/momzillas or fund raisers with too many chiefs and non of them paying the bill. The room is coming along nicely! Excellent work gentleman!

[@LorraineEffenbeck]

Excellent work. I think if I went to France. I would know how to get to get to Brick o nice explanation Simon. Looks like Alex's dog has made itself at home

[@AnnaMarieKenward]

​@@LorraineEffenbeckHer name is Leyla.

[@Rain-Peters]

I wonder how Anna and Edd deal with those Bridezillas.

[@katherineparsons9585]

Yes not forgetting mumzillas they can be much worse than the bride. In my experience as a bridal seamstress they tend to look for problems where there aren’t any gggrrr

[@busterdee8228]

Brico customers probably think Billy works there.

[@h_williams1221]

[@KatMer6361]

Billy & Gwendolyn needs to buy stock in the Brico for as much as Billy shops there.

I am IMPRESSED by phil’s ability to back up through that gate!

[@cmfarinallc3878]

“The sun is shining, got me tool belt on, what more can you ask for”. Pure convent poetry 😊!! Ty. Perfect for a t-shirt.

[@JudithBisson]

Billy is looking mighty fine these days. I’d love to see a work man’s runway show. lol I’m a 🎶Worker(instead of model) you know what I mean.🎶🎶 I can do my little turn on the catwalk on the catwalk…🕺🪅‼️🎼lol. I hope you know what song I’m talking about. 😂🤗

[@pinkelephants1421]

I bought my tool belt at a car boot sale for £0•50. They wanted a £1 but the stitching was coming undone so I cheekily negotiated.... knowing that I had a curved sewing needle and fine fishing line with which to repair it at home. 😂😂😂 I use it for gardening all the time - I look like Builder Barbie.😜🤪😅 Saves losing tools in amongst the triffids.

[@dianayavetz6286]

Love it when Simon explains how they overcome the challenges in this build. Thanks.

[@jennymcgraw855]

Yes, indeed, your crew, your friends, are worth every penny and more!

[@laurabronson6173]

It’s obvious that Billy missed you Alex. Glad you’re back too!!

[@gailatkinson1955]

😊❤

[@aziggerzagger]

Yanis, what a guy. It's amazing how quickly he's picked up his trade skills. If you go back to the first posts when Simon first came on board, he had to talk him through every step. Now, he is telling Simon what he needs. Testament to Simon's skills in passing on his skills. And all this with a language barrier. Just shows that if you have the correct temperament, anything can be achieved. ❤

[@meganhall1306]

Lots going on today , the wisteria will look stunning when it flowers Billy. Simon and Yannis working so hard. Even Lela was everywhere today 😄🥰🐶xxx💕💕💕

[@ruthguerrag]

Love that simon thinks about what might need an explanation and has the patience to answer questions. Really pedagogic.

[@JayDubbluu]

As an analyst, I love that!

[@lindabaker2905]

@@JayDubbluuas a former teacher and retired principal, I quite agree!

[@babetteshaw]

As an Art professor (and exhibiting artist), I, too, appreciate Simon’s methodical explanations and reasonings.

[@karensinclair4189]

Dining room is coming along now. It will be a huge and dramatic gathering space! Can also not help noticing that you Billy are changing physically, looking slimmer, stronger, healthier. Carry on.

[@squirrelswithpearls]

Billy's got his own parking spot at Brico - should have a sign denoting it's reserved for Billy Petherick!

[@MartysMindTicklers]

Taking your valuable time to explain what doesn’t “appear” reasonable-But, it definitely is…Thank You🌹

[@carladejonge4951]

Simon is such a gentleman! So glad to have him mentoring your young Yanis! The work is progressing nicely!❤❤

[@dyannejohnson6184]

Very kind Simon…you have a perfect teaching skill…

[@elisabethhopson5639]

Great video today. Simon's explanation of the screws in the plasterboard made perfect sense. The wisteria is growing well. Brico is still taking your money and Lela is a great supervisor - so laid back. As for weddings, they are fine, it is just the stress they create and people's expectations. 😄

[@Robin-xr2tz]

The way everyone works hard and laughs is wonderful!!

[@loriboyce942]

8:43. “Not sketchy at all.” 😂. Like every project at my house.

[@laurensouthgate2458]

I like that Simon explained the uneven ceiing bit they make getting around it look easy. Nice of Billy to lend the table and chairs to Phil .

[@loro3849]

My husband directed musicals. I often recognized items from our home that he never consulted with me before borrowing. 😮

[@susannahwhitaker994]

Hi, can we expect a nice manly calendar from the Pethericks as well this Xmas lol🤗

[@susanbon5014]

Thank you Simon for explaining parts of the different jobs you are working on. I do all my own renovations on my little cottage and I always learn something new from you. Thank you Billy for sharing your convent renovations. Just love your channel!

[@clairetremblay3023]

That dog at the beginning.... what a beautiful creature 💘

[@madeleinevowles7229]

Totally with you on the Bridzilla issue. It's why I gave up doing wedding hair.😠

[@MB-lg2il]

I love Simon saying in the background …”Don’t do it.” 😂

[@SusieMonk-jh8tj]

Wonderful how Leyla can sleep anywhere …on top of a load of plasterboard?? Simon is going great guns and Yanis improves every day. Lucky man Billy👏👏👏🤞❤👌🥳🥳

[@valeriemcclain9001]

Wow, Phil has some serious reverse skills!!!!

[@EverydayKindaGuy]

When working with things with "character", sometimes you just need to screw things into submission...

[@Victoria14357]

Thanks for answering all the questions everyone has. I'm sure some people are being critical when they ask but some of us are just honestly curious. Believe it or not, while I may not be renovating an old building the mental approach you take and explain in your work I find helpful in my own projects.

[@TRoth858]

Simon is awesome at everything he does. Everything from hammering to instructing to teaching us viewers. I don't know which one has the best manners, Simon or Yanis. I think it's a draw. You're all beautiful people.

[@rickabston6798]

Billy, you have an awesome team there. Worth every penny you give them.

[@thevintageteddybear7524]

That tool belt is gettin a workout...bravo Billy.

[@Dao0253]

A cherry picker can be used for washing the windows as well!

What a way to start the video with the lovely Layla. Work is moving along quickly; the room will be done before the end of the month. Enjoy the day.

[@undertamssubjective]

This whole project of Love Sweat & Tears has not been easy... But You All are doing such a Great Job! And allowing Us to enjoy the walk with You is a Pleasure ! I tip my hat👒 🥳 Thank You All 💖🫶💖👏👏

[@RicSeabergsUseful-Information]

Way to go on the wisteria Bill. Ya gotta stay after the gardening tasks to make the place beautiful and the flora look time honored!!

[@gerryhartung736]

I remember in the early 70s working at the former home of Clark Gable in California and seeing the drywall crew bending sheet rock for the curving stairway walls. They would lay the sheet ( 4 ft x 8 ft) over a 55 gal barrell lieing on side on ground, and gently mist with a garden hose until both 4 ft ends touched the ground. While still damp, carry into house and install. Then it would dry in place making a beautiful curve.

[@cornishcoves9399]

the wisteria will be icing on the cake! I wonder if this is Layla's favourite GIG? she seems smitten with Yanis et al!!! It is exciting to see the exterior of the Convent as well. I am sure that Simon will be happy to have the ceiling drywall finished! Great filming Alex!!!

[@jeffcrum22]

Just got done watching Alex's video perfect timing

[@MrsPink64]

Me too…poo and all 😂

Well done everyone another great catch up 👍👍👍👍👍🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@victoriatracey5919]

Brico must love it when they see Billy come 🤣🤣

[@SarHje]

You’ve managed to demolish also any eventual ghosts in the process of tearing apart the third floor, now buried in the garden with all the straw and mortar from the walls, feeding your dad’s potatoes …😅

[@cecoya]

Great team work and getting the job done. The kitchen was trial and error and this one is running smoothly and quickly. Be finished in no time at all. lol Have a wonderful day

[@arlenecollins7279]

Simon, you should teach at Tech school. You have a wonderful way of explaining things! Thank you! And I’ll be thanking you more once I remove the old suspended polystyrene tiles from my new (old) home in Perpignan. All the old beams will be exposed, and I will need to insulate and finish the spaces, just as you and Yanis are doing.

[@samantha6554]

Really appreciate Simon's explanations

[@ronaldhorton2438]

Once again, Layla saves the day! Billy, I hope you are healthy, you look really great these days. Thank you. ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉😊

[@susanhillard6190]

There is No Way that Billie is old enough to know Rawhide. But I loved the reference.

[@IngeDemmendaal]

I loved Rawhide. I was devastated when Eric Fleming drowned. And I had a soft spot for the comic relief cook, Wishbone

[@tamithirion7766]

Great job and great progress.... And great friends 👍

[@homerooster4022]

Thank you Simon you answered a question that was only in my mind. Now I understand why you are using so many screws in the ceiling plasterboard.

[@neilbigh2654]

Anyone else wanna hear more about the bridezillas??? 🤣🤣🤣

[@jeffreyconrad6712]

Hi ... following you from coastal Maine USA 🇺🇸, a little concerned about growing plants on stone walls. Don't want compromise your lovely wall.

[@stepheniewemmer6557]

France doesn’t allow invasive species of wisteria sold in the country so the wisteria they have won’t dig into the wall…at least that’s what Billy explained in a previous video 🙂

[@HYUKLDER1]

Can never quite see how the money comes in to the convent building, only how it goes out!

[@IngeDemmendaal]

All revenues of the KZbin videos go straight into the convent.

A day at the convent from Lela's perspective? Strap a camera on her to see what she's looking at and interested in.

[@grannyrosie1]

After watching Alex's blog today, it's like magic to see his beautiful work in action. Simon, Alex has come a long way , you have tranformed him and his English is improving, giving him more confidence. Phil should ask yennis to be a bartender, even though I know he has his own.

As always another lovely video! Thank you all for always making our day with your talent and wisdom! Take care and be safe. You're always in our prayers🙏🙏🙏

i really like how wispy the wisteria is; how it stands off of the stone and moves around in the breeze.

Hello from Calgary, Alberta 🇨🇦 Canada

[@domsaverese]

Welcome back Alex 🎉

[@Moonbatcrazy]

The simplicity of having a round folding table is Genius and possibly discovered by someone who used to have to “ carry in and out” the triangular rectangular tables from the storage to the place where they were gonna be used too many times ! (( as the round tables can be easily moved around by rolling them on their edge, and almost anyone can help to bring them into place where 21:59 they there are to go. A simple matter, but as you see in the video, very crucial to saving your back / time and effort !!

[@mildredlindsey3144]

I WORKED WEDDINGS FOR YEARS FOR PEOPLE ONE DAY I SAID---'' NO MORE OF THIS--''. I REFUSED TO DO ANOTHER ONE NO MATTER WHAT FRIEND/FAMILY MEMBER ASKED.

[@CarryVacanti]

I feel your pain about bridezillas. I used to design and hand make wedding invites. After a bride and her groom tried to run some kind of game with me and not pay for the several hundred invites I hand made I said no more. I occasionally get asked if I will do them but I refuse politely and direct them to an online printing service.

If my mom were around she would have said, “Hot damn, what a driver”!

[@donnajackson2182]

You take us to Brico so much that….. if I ever came there…. I could drive to Brico🤣🤣 The only problem would be I would be on the wrong side of the road!! I wonder if that would be a problem!!!🤣😂🤣😂 You all are doing a great job!!!

[@davidlelacheur3217]

I would like to point out that here are only two countries in the perpetual drive on the left hand side of the road. So how does that make all the rest of us drive on the wrong side?

[@juliehilton1701]

And we have Billy back in front of the camera where we like him best ❤❤😂😂

[@busterdee8228]

How will parking be addressed when the building completes its transformation? The place will certianly be a magnet for visitors.

[@karensloman5787]

You guys are so funny when you get together.

[@jaydee5022]

You might want to take the tips off the leading shoots of the wisteria Billy to encourage them to bush out a bit and not just try to climb as high as they can. I'm not an expert so others may say different or yes but in the spring or something. But you don't want long spindly plants.

[@laurenglass4514]

Phils hosting a party! Glad he said hello

[@ArtfulShelley]

Billy, you are a one man warehouse. 🤣

Having worked many a wedding in a past life, if i never see another one ever again it will be too soon, Bridezillas are the worst, but mothers of the bride top it as far as i'm concerned. I think all that are or were part of that world feel you BIlly.

It seams most of the sounds are coming from the hallway rooms. I’m thinking nocturnal creatures crawling/flying around the windows and gutters. Maybe mice as well.
