Did Simon's DIY Roof Hold Up?

[@michellejenkins5922]

This is why I really love these people. Not only do they share their knowledge, their tools and equipment they share their love as well.

[@donnadodman8865]

Simon, your farmhouse has so much potential and I am sure it is going to be so cozy when it is done! It has so much character already....bit by bit you are bringing it back to life! ❤ Well done Yanis for retrieving the drone lol

[@susanaleonard5953]

Great to see Simon has returned, look forward to his farm house renovation. You have a great friend in Phil for his work on the classic Range Rover. So relieved Yannis successfully rescued the drone😮

[@teresashadwick5781]

Simon is such a gentle soul. He has the sweetest spirit!

[@CalderdaleKid]

Yannis was awesome scrambling up that tree. Unbelievable. He needs a raise for rescuing that drone!

[@everydaystitcher]

Yannis deserves a huge bonus $$$ for retrieving the drone from the tree. He is amazing and fearless!

[@andrewlayton9760]

I truly enjoy Simon's short tutorials on what this tool is and how it works.

[@sclark223]

What an amazing teacher you are, Simon! I have always wanted to know about tools and hardware and construction, but it's still not terribly encouraged for women where I live, and frankly sometimes the men I try to talk to are neither patient nor articulate. You are both. I love the time you take to show close-ups, how pieces fit together, how tools function, even details like the aluminum core in the pipe and what its advantages are. I wish I had a brother like you to teach me.

[@dawnlawson7720]

Can't get enough of Simon. Love watching his segments. He is such an inspiration!

[@MJPH5]

Love the quote: you restore things because you love them. Beautifully said.

[@heatherstubbs6646]

Why an elderly, retired musician and artist like me finds videos about building restoration so interesting, I have no clue, but I do. In a world of such relentless negativity, you folks are so refreshingly enthusiastic and positive! It’s a pleasure to spend time with you. Oh, and wouldn’t I love to play Michelangelo on that chapel ceiling! 😁

[@eletakelley7188]

'You restore things because you love them ' what an insight to Billy's motivations.

[@dianetipton6040]

To be fair, Phil said it, but I think the two of them agree wholeheartedly with the sentiment.

[@lundworks9901]

No, they aren't going to Concourse qualify this beast?

[@nelliehedrick3147]

What would you do without Yannis....he is like a mountain goat. And also not afraid of hard work!! ❤

[@fab_5356]

The cinematography looks so good every single episode

[@youknowme8578]

@2:06 big smile from Yanis, love that shot..he is a good, hardworking chap. Edited: at 8 minutes.. Yanis saves the day again, good job mate..

[@suemount6042]

I clocked that too made me smile Yanis is an asset to the team that’s for sure

[@JaxonsDd007]

Thanks for the off convent content.. Thanks for protecting Michael with all the scaffolding. I was a bit worried the first day he was put in that harness. Give everyone a good hug for me.

[@jackierice4254]

Nice to see Simon’s place again and to see Phil.

[@ShiftingSands57]

Well done to Yannis for the drone retrieval

[@jadejohns3107]

Stairs in the convent tool room are beautiful!

[@lisajahn6839]

I love those stairs also!!!😮😊❤

[@brittawrolson5936]

Phil has so many skills (as do most of Billy’s family and friends). I follow Phil as well because he is another interesting and charismatic character 👍🏻🤗

[@helenf9650]

Love Yannis’ sense of humour (tree top “crack on” was the best lol) and his enthusiasm.

[@mmgwife]

Yanis can add tree monkey drone retrieval to his resume! Great job on that sketchy climb.

[@elizabethbesco4758]

Do you know how many people heald their breath when Yannis climbed the tree? 😮

[@permanentlygubbed]

The whole nation 😂😂😂. I felt sick until his feet were on the ground 😂

[@donnamass9576]

“Let’s Crack On!”, he says. Amazing!

[@nuttienattie1]

Yannis well done 👏🏻

[@justinanovak8040]

Yikes!

[@ConnieBarba]

Yannis rules!!

[@WeirdMeansSupernatural]

That man risked his life for that drone! God bless Yannis

[@pamelawright1369]

Nice to see Simon’s place it will be lovely when finished, great to see Phil, thank you for sharing 😊

[@sharonheron7559]

Love Yannis’ sneaky smiles at the camera 😊

[@lindawebb5244]

France is so beautiful . I love all old buildings .

[@donnamurdoch8949]

I had to giggle when Phil told Billy off😂. Why is it we have to touch when we know its still wet? Yannis was brilliant climbing up the tree. As usual you all work together to make a brilliant vlog and we are all enjoying following so thank you.

[@vickilewis6730]

You all worked SO hard this week! I love Simon's house! I hope you really did invite Phil - lol! And of course - huge shout out to Yanis for being brave and climbing the tree to get the drone!

[@hilaryshenton7689]

Simon needs his own channel. He's should get Ryan to film/edit on his property at weekends and in exchange help Ryan with his renovation. Simon would do well with a channel teaching building skills, he's such a natural on camera and great at explaining. Yanis needs a pay rise!

[@JeanRusty]

Yanis your a star and very brave climbing that tree. 😮

[@JeanRusty]

Yanis Yanis I hate my phone

[@dutchkosmik]

Whenever your day is bad, watching Yannis lights up your mood instantly! He has this great timing and slapstick humor, I adore him! ❤😂

[@tamarrajames3590]

Lovely to see Simon and Yanis reunited and having fun your car is looking good Billy, and the roof from Summer is grand.loving it all.🖤🇨🇦

[@deniseh122]

A little nerve wracking watching Yannis climb that tree. He is such a hard worker and willing to do anything asked of him. Simon always great with explaining how things work. Billy, such a generous person - supporting all his friends’ endeavors. Maine USA

[@Dany-ii5lu]

"... a little bit of bodywork..." 🤣🤣🤣 This made my day 😂😂😂 Best wishes from Germany for all your projects in 2024 😃😘

[@Sisteryoda1440]

Please guardian angels, don’t let Yanis end up like Humpty Dumpty 😯🫣 Well that was a nail-biter! Glad everything worked out. Excited to see the projects at Simon’s house! It’s such a beautiful place.

[@annettesharrock1236]

Billy I own a garage and watch phils channel. My husband used to restore cars .but no more as he died 5 months ago. It is nice to see old things bought back to life again. Nice to see what Simon will be doing to his place. Good Yanis got the drone he is a hero. Loved watching ❤

[@pamelaamos7237]

My condolences Annette. Warmest wishes to you. Pam

[@suemount6042]

Sorry for your loss Annette

[@pamelar5868]

❤❤❤😢

[@angiek.4144]

It was so nice to see how Simon's cottage is coming along. Can't wait to see the end result!

[@terris7842]

No not sketchy at all😳! I was holding my breath. Yannis is amazing.

[@melanieparis8697]

I love Simon’s house

[@lisaakinlabi]

LMAO Yannis was so funny when he got the drone, "Let's crack on!"

[@idontwantachannel7542]

"This is not sketchy at all" 😂 Oh, I was so afraid it was going to turn into a why-women-live-longer-than-men meme 😮 Kudos to Yanis for being such a good sport about it and rescuing the drone. Glad Simon's home renovation is progressing. The two months will go so fast.

[@7178dw]

😨 omg!!! He at the top. Can't belive it, he so brave. HAPPY HE SAFE❤

[@ironblue5958]

Thanks for the extra episode Billy and Alex. That was fun. Thank you Simon for showing us around again.Well done Yannis for getting the drone back. Hello Phill always watch your channel too. Kisses for lightning. All the best.

[@laurensouthgate2458]

Great to see Simon's and thank goodness for Yanni's. Phil is so good at restoring cars, great to see him.

[@shannonstone2690]

Oh my heart! Couldn’t breathe until Yanis was back down on the ground, but his “let’s Crack On” was hilarious 😂❤

[@PMyers-nn5cz]

God bless Yanis, what an amazing loyal young man he has turned out to be.

[@karenviglione503]

Simon you are going to have a lovely finished home! You know, I for one thank ya for all your explanations. Alex you need a shout out for your expertise for sure. Then there’s my fave , Yannis! What a happy camper😎

[@colettemiller5812]

Yanis deserves a bonus for that heroic rescue, or at least a pint of something he fancies.

[@roseharvey2664]

I don't think he drinks. Maybe a pint of Pepsi.

[@bernadetteembleton8944]

My heart was in my mouth for Yanis😮 So glad he got down safely😊

[@timfoote2874]

Yikes, a little too high up for me

[@pamabernathy8728]

Fantastic, Yanis! Strong, nimble & brave. Great young man!

[@Carolbearce]

I can’t believe Yanis climbed that tree to the top. Yes, he is very nimble and agile. No way would I have done that! Well done Yanis.

[@peterwhite9261]

Yannis, you are a great sport. Phil, you are a wonderful friend to help Billy out with the rover. Simon, you are a real gentleman and teacher. Alex , your filming is always awesome. Billy, it is very generous to help Simon out with the piping, etc. You are all a great bunch of workers and friends.

[@SweetOne.]

I was hoping to get another look at the main floor in Simon's farm house from Alex's camera eye. Maybe next time? LOL teasing Phil with going to the pub - would that have been Phil's pub - even funnier!! Shout out to Gwen, miss seeing her on camera, hope all you men are getting those rooms ready for her at the Chateau. We haven't seen an update on the ceiling in ages - hint hint hint.

[@sallyh7282]

Omg Yannis the hero yet again. Lol. He's fearless and someone you'd want on your team. Simon, those velux windows make such a massive difference! It's really satisfying watching your progress at the farmhouse.

[@donnagagne3813]

I love Simon's place. Glad Yanis got up and down the tree safely. I was worried. God bless ya'll. See you Monday.

[@valeriemcclain9001]

Good to see Simon's house. The roof from last summer looks like it held up! And good to see Phil's garage and the work he is doing on the Range Rover! It amazes me the enthusiasm that Yannis has in everything he does....even climbing really sketchy trees! Hope your Dad is taking a much needed day off!

[@stephaniegaromon3244]

I think I might have skipped a few heartbeats with Yannis up in the top of that tree. Wow!! He’s an amazing man. So happy he’s on the ground safely. The new roof and windows look great. You must be so happy to see it looking perfect, Simon. The inside of the cottage will be so beautiful. I love stone houses. Phil’s garage is very spacious. That’s quite a huge project. I hope you took him to the pub with you….I know you did. Have fun. Snowstorm here today and brutally cold. xx

[@carladejonge4951]

Loved seeing Simon’s farm house! It has so much potential! Phil is ding such good work on the RR! He’s more like a miracle worker! What great friends you have Billy!❤

[@kayreive]

Watched so many of your videos and I think Simon *is the one*, I have fallen in love from afar :)

[@paulwilliams61]

Well done Yannis for climbing the tree and rescuing the drone. Simons farm house looks like it's in a lovely area of France. Can't wait to see the Range Rover once completed.

[@normamurray4450]

You sure did crack on Yanis!!! Looking forward to seeing more on your farm house Simon! Thank you Billy!!!

[@meganhall1306]

Thanks for a weekend vlog Billy 😄well done Yanis. I love Simon’s farmhouse and look forward to seeing the renovations . Enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone 👏👏❤❤❤xxx

[@annettewalter2273]

Held my breath when Yannis did his tree climbing. Envious of Phil’s garage , so much space. Good to see Simon’s roof has lasted so far.

[@florencehodges-moore2909]

Hey guys lovely to see Simon and yennis what I like about Simon he shows us the smallest details about the job he is about to do love you guys ❤

[@N-A-uw5fp]

Yannis is learning a lot about construction, but he’s also learning how to speak English. What an education he’s getting!

[@barbarageer943]

You all are so much fun to watch!!!!! You finished work is superb. Thanks for taking us along

[@lindabaker2905]

Wow Jannis!! You are a miracle worker. Crack on😀

[@darlene2662]

I do hope you were kidding about not taking Philip to the pub! Lol Yannis had us all holding our breath when Yanis was in the treetop!!!😊💕🇨🇦👍🏼🙏

[@gabbyharris2906]

Very scared when Yanis climbed up the ladder and to the top of the tree. He is fearless,thankfully safely back on the ground. Stiff drink needed for all.😮🙏🏻🤗

[@Hollybank5]

Yannis saved the drone !!! A tree climbing hero ❤ 🎉 !!! Simon , you have a lovely property. I look forward to seeing all the improvements to come ! Billy - you have so many irons in the fire - it’s amazing how you keep everything going !!! ❤

[@leeproulx7412]

You’re a brave young man Yanis. So relieved that you returned safely. You guys are an amazing team, Billy and Simon and Alex. Your filming Alex is so beautiful. Can’t wait to see Simon’s progress on his lovely old home. Thanks for explaining the crimper. What a handy tool. Your Rover is looking a lot better Billy than originally. Phil’s doing a great job.

[@mai_world]

Yanis is family now. And deserves a raise. I nearly potty watching him climb up.

[@arleneboyd5341]

Thank you for including us in your Saturday.

[@dianayavetz6286]

Phil is a treasure 👍🏻

[@Jmp5nb]

Always nice too see Simon’s place, and the help with materials and assistance Billy provides. Of course, Yanis is a natural at being in the right place at just the right time!

[@gailatkinson1955]

Good to see Simon again & always happy to see Phil. 😊❤

[@NumberOneGeek]

Brilliant episode. Love to see Simon's project getting some love!

[@awatts8980]

Yannis was brilliant at climbing the tree. Farmhouse will be lovely when it’s done Simon, you are so good at presenting on the video. Excellent post as always Billy, always look forward to seeing progress on old buildings

[@gingerschatshow]

Hi Billy- yes with your drone- as Bugs Bunny use to say don't forget to take your left turn to Albuquerque (New Mexico, USA) :D , glad that the drone is damage free. Note to self- avoid trees and power lines. :D

[@GmaPati]

Simon, I have said before...this is going to make a great home! Everyone needs a Simon in their life!

[@donnariahi2975]

Good job with retrieving the drone, Yanis. You always seem to do what is needed. I am sure that Billy appreciates all your hard work. Glad Simon’s roof held.

[@monicariske]

The roof looks SO good!!!❤ Yanis, "don't worry" and yet, we were all worried!

[@patig6984]

Yannis gets all the fun jobs! lol....Good Job!

[@cbrashsorensen]

If the "Rover" came with the Convent it will be a thrill to have it return in a "serviceable" fashion. Great fun. I'm off to the "chronicles" channel. I am telling you Yannis is a brave man...glad he came back to Earth safe and sound. Simon's cottage will be perfectly charming and beautifully built. Having a bathroom will be lovely.

[@jamesbaker429]

The rover is a project bought years ago at the chateau it was stored and worked on by Billy there only moved to convent last year as better storage there and allowed developments at the chateau.

[@vivienanderson603]

Great job Yanis! 🫣

[@dwightlindgron4657]

I don’t recall the beautiful staircase when getting the tools!Awesome.

[@dynararystrom5503]

Does that go to the other apartments. We didn't get to see that part of the convent on the recent tour.

[@IngeDemmendaal]

The tool room is adjacent to the chapel, as an outcrop into the courtyard. It's a gorgeous staircase indeed. I don't think we ever got to see the upstairs, but there's a door leading to a landing connected to the outside spiral staircase

[@IngeDemmendaal]

If you look at the video of December 29, with the extensive tour, around the 15:09 mark Billy points out the sacristy. The downstairs of it is now the tool room

[@chan_AU]

Yanis so brave!!!!!! 💕

[@daverichardson5861]

Great vlog Billy, lots of content. Phil’s doing a thankless task with the Range Rover, so don’t thank him. LoL. Simons place is on the move and sooner rather than later. Yannis, wow, no boundaries. Stay well all.

[@boerderijlenders380]

What a great idea to make this weekend video👍 Nice too see it all. Wow Yannis, quel courage💪🏼 And what a beautiful property Simon. You can do it Phil💪🏼the rust-roover will be great and green again. Have a great weekend and see you next week👋🏼

[@kimk8365]

What a beautiful building, and I can't wait to see more renovations.

[@carolelee9238]

Well Done Yanis, a true member of the Team ☺️

[@allisterfernandes2569]

Amazing Job Yannis you are really an important asset to the team.would really like to see your story someday on the channel.

[@abbyT2023]

Simon explains things so well that you find yourself fascinated by pipes you never imagined you could be fascinated about 🤣. I was riveted.

[@malina1239]

I’m following Phil’s car channel and Billy’s right it’s a Rust Rover😅 Lots of work for for Phil, but I bet it’ll be amazing in the end!

[@annievlachos7880]

Very happy New Year to you Simon ,wishing all the best for your restoration , .

[@christinaplaisted9563]

Good to see Simon back hope you got plenty of golf in ,so when your farm house is ready have you got family waiting to move in ? Yanis was brilliant good to see you all together ❤❤❤❤

[@kimberlyallen6296]

Yanus if you ever get tired of working renovations you may want to consider being an aerialist in a Circus? Good to see Simon again Phil too. Happy New Year! 🍻🎉🍷

[@debracooney3428]

Simons house is looking great!

[@nelleg152]

Been watching Phil on both his channels . They are great . Is there nothing Yanis can't do demolishing, hard working and now tree climbing ❤
