Starting A New Year At The Convent

[@maj6190]

Bless your OCD, Billy. A clean workspace is a boon to your productivity and mood.

[@tydanum]

I’m with you Billy, hate working in a mess, it gets done quicker when you can see what you are doing 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🇬🇧

[@unothgor]

Unless you start using more time organizing than working. Shuffling stuff around and then shuffling again and again.. decent b-roll then I guess.

[@Grumpyoldman037]

Your video came up on my computer and it said 1 minute ago, 0 views, so I go excited and started it up, but by the time I got it opened, there were over 600 views and over 160 likes. IN THE FIRST MINUTE! Wow! Crack on!

[@kenc1800]

Now that is only a hour in…..4K likes and 14,500 views crazy numbers in the New Year! Bravo Billy and Yanis!!! Love your progress and work ethics. So keep CRACKING-ON!

Unleash Michael! Can't wait to see what he can do with your new toy 🖥️!😅❤

[@dorothyjones6274]

Sure hope your dad is well. I miss seeing him. Happy New Year to all 🎉

[@DB-gb4is]

I've said it before and I will say again. I love Billy's music choices 😊

[@TonyHoyle-ju6ox]

Billy get some knee pads. You will thank me when yer 60. Mine and my builder mates knees are knackered. Best thing you willbuy

[@mollymorgan8652]

Happy New Year, Pethericks and Friends! Progress cleaning during a project is like a lumberjack spending time stopping and sharpening an axe. It feels kind of like wasting time, but actually makes the work easier and more efficient.

[@andrewlayton9760]

And safer.

[@deanbrunner261]

Congratulations on over half a million subs

[@claireburkus8497]

Gotta lock all this new equipment up tight at the convent for sure!!! Much success with the wallpaper designs…sounds really exciting!!❤

[@Mme_Chantal]

Can’t wait to see what kind of design Micheal has in store for the convent! Great job Billy and Yanis! Bonne soirée 🇨🇦

[@juliejohnson-hunt7134]

Happy New Year Billy! Happy New Year Yanis! The new computer will give Michael all kinds of power when working with those large art files. Nice machine.

[@ThePethericks]

I watched him doing designs in the past and i could see his computer struggling, even crashing because of the complexity of the layers and designs so its perfect 👌

[@juliejohnson-hunt7134]

@ looking forward to seeing the final projects 👍👏

[@noctifer7834]

Hej, greetings from germany & Happy New Year to all! One thing, though. You kinda wasted money on the MacPro with M2-Ultra - the MacBook Pro with M4-Max-Chip is cheaper and faster.

[@jackiejones690]

Happy New Year to the Pethericks,Yanis, Simon and all those who work at the Convent and so 2025 commences. A grand year of hard work and a amazing revelations starts 🇳🇿❤

[@TheHavasu_77]

Congrats on half a million subscribers!! 🎉❤

[@imawehole]

Billy, since the convent is so full of mystery, have you ever thought of putting in your own secret room. That would be so cool. A secret bookcase or something on those lines. You're so talented. I'm sure if you did, it would be great.

[@suek7086]

The clock shown at the beginning is stunning!

[@siameseire]

🧹 All of your cleaning makes for a Safer work area so Great Job!! 🌟

[@davidgodfrey1815]

I love you habit of working clean, cleaning as you go. Others could learn from you on this.

[@tamithirion7766]

Back at it, clean slate, awesome. So Billy your intro music is reminiscent of the Appalachian mountain tunes🥰 I have to say I enjoy your renovations very much because it is cleaned and cleared. I get the OCD comment 👌

[@TeresaOneill-h2m]

West Virginia here! Love that music! ❤❤❤

[@Smalfry47]

Miss Rick, the organizer!

[@milkweeddreams8828]

I'm excited about Michael's wallpaper designs, he's a very clever artist with all of his endeavors and I'm so impressed with the tidiness in your workspace, I think one thinks clearer in a clean space...and it certainly shows in the convent...!

[@kathymarshall220]

That’s a very nice piece of kit there, Billy! As an artist I’m very jealous of Michael getting to work his magic on that 😊

[@nelleg152]

It makes life easier if it's all tidy to start of with ❤

[@GoldenLady9779]

Yes, ease into the new year guys. Love the new computer, love Apple products. That should keep Michael busy for decades. Please tell Michael we're missing him. Happy new year. 🥰

[@kevinb4783]

Happy new years Petherick family, crew and fans!

[@petersister]

I hope you're going to let us see when Michael first lays eyes on the new computer. Personally, I believe it its worth it to work with the best equipment you can afford; it can shift the work from being repetitive and tedious to pure pleasure. I hope that the new computer gives Michael new inspiration. I've been missing his videos. Sometimes creatives experience a temporary lull in their creative energy. I hope Michael finds new inspiration in working with the new and exciting equipment. In the meantime it has been wonderful to see how quickly things are progressing in the rest of the renovations. It puts a ray of joy in my day, every time I watch a new video from you. Thanks for working so hard!

[@gerryhartung736]

Back when I was working, it wasn't called OCD. We just said, "Work smarter not harder," as in clean as you go, and when you go out to the truck, take something you're not using anymore, and bring in something you plan to use next. - .

[@AnnaMarieKenward]

A very happy new year to all the Pethericks and team. From the UK 🇬🇧. 🎉🎊🥳🥂💖

[@eddelaporte4544]

Camera work is excellent! Nicely done.

[@SweetOne.]

This is the cleanest renovation/restoration I have ever seen and I so appreciate it. So many trades leave all kinds of rubbish behind studwork, drywall, inside vents etc. it drives me nuts the stuff we have found over the years when doing home repairs. I do love the stuff you hid though for future renovators.

[@johnpritchard2772]

Hello everyone. "Happy New Year" to you all. I am so impressed with Yannis and his quite and gentle nature, always willing to do any task no matter how challenging or dirty! That is some computer you have there Billy!! Best wishes from Lincolnshire.

[@Hollybank5]

I will whisper this, Billy & Yanis- since you’re still recovering from the recent festivities 🤫…. HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎈🎆 🍷 !! I’m so glad that Michael will be designing the wallpaper ! He is amazingly talented ! The potential for this equipment is huge and well worth the investment. ❤

[@rebekahvenn201]

Cant wait to see Michael's wallpaper designs. Bet they are amazing and a little bit different

[@mariec.6568]

Can’t wait till the library’s done! It’s already starting to look amazing!

[@MikahBoxer1]

Banjo music was awesome!

[@reenierm]

Happy New Year to all of you 🎉 🇪🇪 !

[@Xazoutje]

Guess Billy will need lots of likes to cover his new computer. Can't wait to see what Michael will be able to create. Happy New Year to the whole crew and everyone in the (extended) family. Also a A Happy New Year for everyone here in the community.

[@123uschie]

Congratulations on the greater than 500 thousand subscribers!

[@catherinefromchristchurchn6508]

If you were doing a drop off on the way, you were still working 😊. Another exciting year ahead, for those of you doing, and for us viewing. 🎉

[@kaye-q1k]

Well done team. I giggled when blue quit at least you were not stuck so high up that you couldn’t get down.

[@kathrynwitte3398]

Imagine if there was a mobile staircase just five feet away!

[@brandyjean7015]

Oh you youthful, wild, party animals! Happy New Year Billy & Yannis.

[@bjdesign3146]

Great choice on the computer. Having been a graphic designer my whole career, I've always used a Mac. Michael will be thrilled. 👍

[@christyrich9495]

Another graphic designer here. I definitely have Mac envy!

[@pashatemurtem]

I understamd completely, Billy. If I have to, I can work in a mess, but I maintain the work goes faster and without hitches, and decisions, clearer, the outcomes better, and there are far fewer mishaps.

[@vickismallwood2082]

Very nice computer Billy. I'm excited to see what Michael create for you. I love his art work. The library is looking fantastic and it won't be long before you and Yannis have it finished.

[@KAWeems]

Happiest of New Years Billy & Yanis! Hope it is filled with Happiness, Wellness & Lots of Love!

[@joanneclose7041]

Looking forward to all the progress coming in 2025!

[@lyndamcardle4123]

Nothing wrong with being tidy...it's not OCD but, if you're like me, it is ! Oh and Happy New Year to all the team !

[@carlaortiz1538]

1st Happy New Year 🎉🎉🎉. I've watched all your videos & I've enjoyed your journey so far. My favorite video so far was the organ removal it made me cry with the care & respect everyone showed. Yanis, I just want you to know it's been a pleasure watching you come out of your shyness & the growth you've made in 3 years. Billy, Simon, Mick & and Micheal, your all true mentors to a new generation. Can't wait to see what comes next.

[@debbietrotter8857]

Interesting air vent. Looking forward to seeing the system installed

[@ginetteregimbal4882]

A New Year with new challenges ahead at the convent. Billy your visions for each room, has me anxious for your next vlog to come out .... Hello 👋🏻 from Alhambra Southern California 🌴 5

[@audreyatherton3373]

I was just about to say the blue lift has done you proud since you bought it, then it died😂 happy new year.

[@jillychandler]

I have OCD too Billy, and can not stand trying to do something unless my area is all clear, just like you. My Father was always a stickler for a system, and I wish he was here now (he passed away 20 years ago) to help me sort out my mess in my little house! Happy New Year to you all. Blessings from Jilly & Madge the rescue greyhound. xxx

[@LiesaAustin]

Love that you are OCD keeps everything nice and clean...

[@robbiemoriarty7499]

Billy you anticipate and think of everything. This entire endeavor is exciting.

[@ColliWobblers-d1b]

Happy new year to all the Petherick platoon!!

[@normamurray4450]

That was a great beginning to a new year Billy. Looking forward to seeing what's next at the Convent and beyond.

[@bmj1680]

I can’t wait to see Michael’s project up on a wall.

[@phyllisracette1516]

I came across your channel about a month ago and am totally fascinated! I am trying to watch the videos from the beginning to see the process and progress of this amazing renovation. Along the way I have come to enjoy each of you for your individuality and team work. I also enjoy Michael and Ryan's channels. I watch whenever I have the time for me, early morning and end of day. Thanks for sharing!

[@symbiot5984]

Billy, once the dining room is finished you should showcase your progress and workmanship with a friends and family Formal dinner. Would love to see it.

[@michaelpennington7800]

Happy New Year! Billy, your OCD tenancies are beautiful and are the driving forces in goal setting and this entire project. Crack On! Billy and Yanis!

[@sunnyndelaware6159]

Agree! When he mentioned OCD I thought that!! Happy New Year!🎉

[@ritahemmerly4224]

A messy work area is the sign of a creative mind! Mind runs ahead then body struggles to keep up.

[@arleneboyd5341]

Thanks!

[@cherylgriffin2759]

Happy New Year to all of you. Have a blessed and wonderful year. Now “Crack On !”

[@kathrynwitte3398]

You need a cart like they have at Lowe’s with pipes that looks made for transporting wallboard, doors, scaffolding or wood! Imagine the trips it would save!

[@t.s.507]

Sweet investment! The Mac Pro is a mean machine.

[@anamm62]

PLEASE DONT TAKE THIS WRONG! But could you arrange for a go fund me or buy me a coffee for dear Yanis to help him get his smile fixed? Dan from Escape to rural France had his fixed and your brother had his hair issues addressed. He’s always smiling how nice it would be to help him with that. 😊

[@richardlewis4402]

Awesome computer!!

[@judithdkvdl51]

Happy New Year ! Maybe something to satisfy your OCD ask Stan, from Mucky Mansion, to create a new leg for the old range cooker 😊 You, your team, family and friends are doing a great job on al the projects you undertake. Thanks for the regular updates.

[@bclark5955]

Happy New Year Billy and Yanis 🎉

[@MissGimpsAlot]

Loved the mysterious music in the into 🎶♥️

[@jerichoreed22]

Any thoughts yet on the walls, going paint or wallpaper? Maybe go the Dark Academia with blacks and dark charcoal, maybe midnight blue or dark green or dark burgundy along with some wall lights to splash? Interested to see how it all end up :)

[@123Fanan]

Nice to have an orderly man.

[@rostallar4243]

Happy New Year to everyone at the convent, looking forward to seeing all the wonderful progress there. Excited to see the library done, also starting the upstairs rooms, going to be an exciting year.

[@Rosarium2007]

14:00 - nice cheese grater

[@johanmaass4687]

I was thinking the same thing - wouldn't leave it in the kitchen 😂

[@Frello2]

OCD or not, it´s much more efficient to work in a clear environment. Be it on a building site or at a desk. Anyways, Happy New Year to all 😄

[@rosebay44Evergreen-ti3zl]

And much safer.

[@Christine-v2h]

Happy new year to you all 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@marshabentley5276]

have you seen in Scotland where they spray on the wall plaster like with a paint sprayer, then smooth once with a wide flat blade? Seems to work well and is so flat. In the US we tape and putty and sand, then paint.

[@mrsmiggins6435]

I think Billy has said that it's quicker and less messy to fix the insulation this way.

[@Geeguess]

Happy New year Billy and Yanis (aka Snake Hips) happy to see you back at work.
