Conquering the Ceiling in Just 5 Days!

[@malagastehlaate230]

Don't sell yourself short Billy... you have always done well... you don't get to near 300k Subscribers by being awful... really do enjoy your content. Well done. And I also think it's fantastic that Simon is teaching Yannis... Also always happy to see Rick, I hope he's been doing better.

[@pamelar5868]

Totally agree with this comment!

[@barbarakloise6790]

Simon had a great plan having Yannis cutting and prepping everything for Simon and moved it along so quicklu!

Always good to have a helper!

Simon should make a channel so we can see him working on his house. He’s a interesting character and would love to watch his vids

[@JaxonsDd007]

Billy and Phil had a great idea about being the producers and hiring folks just to be the star. I thought yes there own Channel 4😊

[@docevika6202]

That furniture will make the most amazing island in the convent’s kitchen. It was a fabulous buy, definitely one of a kind. Well done Billy.

[@pamelar5868]

I agree❤❤❤

[@blaisepwilliams]

I think it might need a larger top surface to allow room for peoples feet .

[@rnggall9640]

the times saved not dividing yourself between measuring and cutting is really showing. The prep work Yannis is doing alone saves hours of going up and down! You have a super collection of people learning and teaching.

[@JesusizmyLordandSavior]

Yannis is a spot on, brilliant apprentice and Simon is an equally skilled teacher!! Such a great team! All of you work so well together!❤❤

[@TheNaturalLawInstitute]

Billy: Easy for basic carpenter to extend the kitchen "table" with 12-15" of additional width around the circumference. That way stools will be more comfortable for seating.

[@sondraar]

I was thinking the same thing, but you did a great job explaining it.

[@lornanorris1363]

I thought it was supposed to be a prep table

[@TheNaturalLawInstitute]

@@lornanorris1363 It's an everything-table because it's so large it precludes having a separate table.

[@lornanorris1363]

@@TheNaturalLawInstitute yes it could be both considering the size, and he did say there was no room for a table 👍

Yannis is a great worker, great to see Simon teaching the younger generation a good skill for their future!

Also watching from North Carolina. Found the channel totally by accident right about the time Billy bought the convent and I am hooked. Awesome channel. Billy is amazing and has such a great group of family and friends working with him. Easily one of my favorite youtube channels now.

[@pattysands564]

Billy you do great videos

[@pthomson9736]

Don't second guess yourself with the videos. You got me hooked from the start!❤❤😊

[@joannebolton1]

Billy your loyal followers love it when you film 🎥 don't diss yourself😊

[@MarianneInmarsilia]

I like watching when you film yourself….great progress with you marvelous team ! I have really enjoyed watching this project from the start. You & Gwen have great vision and adept risk taking skills. I am sure the convent is not haunted, and the sisters spirits are egging you on to restore their former home with all your loving care Billy.

[@amberbaty4344]

KZbin recommend Michaels channel to me awhile back and after watching all his videos i moved over to Billys channel. I've been watching them in order starting with the oldest video and im sad that I've finally made it to current day because that means i cant binge his videos anymore. Now i have to actually wait for the videos to come out in real time. Oh well they are worth the wait, and in the mean time is still have Ryan and Sean's channels to watch through.

[@erbie-wan521]

Billy, your skills of filming and editing and content choices are what made this channel a fast favorite. You and Ryan sounded like an old married couple bickering over those brackets. 😂

[@MissGimpsAlot]

I just really love the intro music ❤️ it really seems to match the mystery, grandeur, history, and beauty of the building ❤️ Thank you for sharing this journey!

[@IreneSonni]

Billy, you are always so hard on yourself! You are great at doing videos and editing, but it just takes more time than if Alex does it. Great seeing things move along so quickly 😄

[@stephaniegaromon3244]

Billy, you have done such a great job vlogging to reach the huge amount of subscribers you have thus far. You are very humble to downplay all that you achieved. Yes, Alex is an excellent professional and saves you a lot of time to work on the convent but don’t sell yourself short. Simon is a true professional and is going to teach Yannis a great trade where he will be able to earn a good living. And Billy, this is why we all love you. You bring good people together and give so many people great opportunities. xx

[@maryannsarkady7950]

I love the kitchen Island idea, it will look good !

[@lynnes698]

I am so glad your editing the videos Billy and we have a return to your choice of music because that mad piano music we've had lately is just too much, aaah and relax.

[@ElouiseEL]

Totally agree, I turn the music off now the time when Billy does not make the videos. It's to wild and loud, not relaxing.

[@JaxonsDd007]

Now we just need the B roll of Billy mowing. It was always part of my favorite

[@berritanner3250]

When you do the videos, Billy, there is a personal intimacy to them. Alex’s are very professional and give a different perspective to the convent, and you yourself appear more “professional” in them. Don’t sell yourself short. You do a good job, though I appreciate it’s a lot more work for you.

[@naomimeyers84]

I really love your videos Billy. Your editing style is what drew me to your channel. Alex is great for commercial stuff, but he doesn't have your vision. With your videos, there's so much more of a personal touch. I could tell the difference right away. Maybe in time Alex can acclimate to your channels music, and editing style? I'm very happy to see Rick back in action and Simon and Yannis are great at getting the work done! That kitchen will be finished in no time! Ryan is such a charmer with a great sense of humor, the two of you together always keep my spirits up. I wish there were more friends like you two supporting each other and caring about one another's well being. I don't know many people like that.

[@Rosarium2007]

Agree 100%.

[@ianandshirleygibson7105]

Don’t beat yourself up Billie you do a great job and you are very easy to listen to. I start my day watching you all , keep up the good work. Cheers Shirley and Ian

[@cronesbrew8108]

Billy you are a fantastic film maker. I actually miss your style. Alex is great but a little too fancy. You’ve got soul baby.

[@heehaw8401]

Alex is fancy. A bit over the top.

[@izby2652]

I had a thought. If that amazing, incredible, beautiful big island thing doesn't work in Kitchen (which fingers crossed it does), might it work in your amazing future two-story library? I've often seen large islands in libraries where large tomes and maps can be set out. Not sure you plan on becoming a collector of them, but it might look the part? 🙂

[@choochoo9506]

The kitchen ceiling looks AMAZING! Love Simon, natural in front of the camera, like a pro.

[@mavep2855]

I can appreciate how much you like having Alex around, he is very good at his craft. So happy for Yannis, his new skills will serve him well. Thank you Simon. Crack on everyone🙏❤️

[@GeneneCroy]

Billy, I love the idea of opening up the garden. Bring the school kids in and let them plant something. Keep the community involved.

[@elizabethtarpley9676]

Strangely, I like this video with no background music. It seemed natural & realistic. Simon is the kind of carpenter/builder that everyone who ever had a renovation project dream of being able to find. Simon & Yannis as a team are unbeatable. They are pretty amazing. Really enjoy seeing the progress.

[@pamabernathy8728]

Another great video, Billy! If you shot the opening "sequence," kudos. Very professional. Well done, all the way through. The kitchen is suddenly transformed! (After months of blood, sweat & tears. Well, euros, sore muscles & sweat). You bring me such joy. Poor Ryan, can't wait to see his vlog. Ouch. Yanis is a very fast learner & hard worker!!!! Blessings, Billy, to you & the team.

[@AliWade1971]

As soon as I heard the music, I knew it was a ‘Billy Edit’. We love your style of filming, and it makes a nice change to get back to what made us become addicted to the channel. You don’t sit on the floor and talk to the camera when Alex is around (congratulations to his sister 🥂). Simon isn’t just good at the technical side of building, but can obviously organise a project too - a rare set of skills.

[@suechapman8580]

Well done Billy. Simon is great with yannis and you're great with Ryan and with Rick back on the team life is just great. Hurry back Alex and layla . ❤

The value of mentoring and when appropriate taking up young people as apprentices. This is the way it used to be and how trades and skills were passed on.

The new cabinetry in the kitchen is a lovely piece, an eye catcher and will come to good use.

It is good having your camera man, he does a cracking job, but I still really like the ones you do, they do feel more personal. So don't ever be afraid to do some bits on your own too! It must feel exciting to see so much getting done and Ryan is really doing great all on his own!

[@mannyortiz4814]

Billy,Ryan,Yanis, and Simon. The ceilings are looking great. The chandelier mounting will serve it’s purpose when the time comes. Good for Yanis. He is learning a valuable skill. Well my convent workers till tomorrow. Take care and stay safe. Love ya 🍺🍺🍺🍺❤️😇🕊🌹🌞🌈🇺🇸👍🙏

[@marianelamuniz9968]

I think that if your going to convert the convent into a hotel. With a great chef in that awesome kitchen and great antique decor marketed to tourist and a restaurant in the chapel with all the stain glasses and statues. Wow I would go there. Straight from Miami Florida USA!! Keep up the great work Billy and all the great guys❤

[@alliejones9864]

It’s often difficult to sit without a bit of an overhang to tuck your legs under, might it be worth adding in some granite or marble inserts to make the short ends more user friendly, you wouldn’t lose the gorgeous integrity of the island, but you’d gain some made for purpose seating.

[@Sharon-hn9wn]

Simon is a true craftsman. 👍 Yannis has the best of the best to guide him in this skill. You guys are terrific! 😎 The ceiling is looking great. 👌

[@autodidactin]

Billy, your videography and editing skills have also been honed during all this time that you are doing vlogs. I can see that having some assistance with this process is helpful, but you will never have to make apologies for your own fine work.

[@DiggingCanuck]

LOVE the beginning music !!! Don't sell yourself short Billy !!!

[@pinkelephants1421]

That lovely piece of furniture you bought for the kitchen is stupendous! I love the idea of simply giving it a good clean etc, but if you're a wee bit worried about the worktop surface becoming damaged over time, there's always the (very expensive) option of eventually getting a custom made heavy duty glass top for it. Glass would certainly be much easier to clean.

[@pattysands564]

Love your idea for the island

[@melodywunschel3064]

I would recommend that you find some kind of covering for your island top, afraid that after a very short time of being used in a working kitchen it will be damaged. Even it if only something you get out when the kitchen is in use.

[@burkegurr9300]

Billy, I think that “folding table“ is absolutely fabulous and will make a great island for the kitchen. .I would come to the convent just see that. Lol

[@AskingSpot]

Do you think the stools around the big table will leave nowhere for your knees if you don’t have say a granite over hang? Congratulations to the couple and well done on the progress!

[@elizabethhicker3252]

I'ts amazing to see what Simon has done thus far! Congratulations to all of you....great job and wonderful to watch. Many Blessings in this huge venture.

[@chr.orzschig926]

I think this timber ceiling is worth th effort. It lokked beautiful since you removed the drywalling.

[@Marilinaa]

Simon is great at his job and so at ease with the camera. Nice to see things moving along quickly. I love Alex's work on the vlogs. I noticed today that when you speak up close to the camera, It seems to add an extra flavour and personal touch to the vlogs. Maybe you can incorporate some of these 'asides' into Alex's vlogs.

[@deannfausett3923]

Should be a great light fixture in the kitchen. What a hook!

[@maxwelledisonsmum]

I think you should reconsider, adding a marble top, or some kind of top to the island. Because if you’re going to have stools for people to sit at there needs to be a bit of an overhang.

[@user-yz7ds7rn9b]

Excellent idea!

[@justinanovak8040]

For me I don’t come for cinematography but if it helps you focus on the project better, great. But you’ve done just fine with the videoing/editing. Love seeing the project progress. And the different professional/not profession working on stuff.

[@philipstreechon4523]

Hi Billy be careful Repairing Concrete After Exposure to Muriatic Acid Even with proper neutralization, exposure to Muriatic acid can cause damage to concrete surfaces. The severity of the damage depends on the concentration of the acid and the duration of exposure. The following are some steps to repair concrete after exposure to Muriatic acid: Best of luck mate.

[@GrandmaRM]

I think you made a great choice with the island, it matches so well with the wall panels. I think it will be beautiful cleaned up. You could add a granite top that is larger on one side to have barstools fit under it.

[@nataliekeane8944]

That massive island is going to be beautiful!!! I'd keep the timber top too but maybe (I notice the wood is in sections) you could insert a lovely piece of granite or marble to have as a pastry board or chopping board. It's going to be bloody stunning! There's so much storage it would be great if one end you could somehow recess underneath so sitting at the bench would be possible. Loving this progress!

Ryan you are making great progress!

[@vikki839]

Just a thought about the unit. If it doesn't fit the kitchen, then as a table and storage in the library for piling books on and leaning over to look at books and maps and so on.

[@florentinalily]

you might think of running electrics to the Map table before you lay the tiles? We did something similar and the electrics came to floor sockets (brass flapped sockets) on the side. Really useful for plugging in machinery for cooking or laptops (when the kids get older). We also had a sink sunk in the top with a cover made from the same timber piece taken out just like a Laboratory sink? The kitchen is just looking incredible. All down to your vision.

[@amandamcmurray7106]

Great video Billy, and I have always loved your choices in music.

[@Julia-zj2ch]

Your filming is great, Billy. And it was so good to hear your music again. That is The Convent Theme music. Any chance you could get Alex to use it?

[@mnamber]

You are doing so dang awesome! I bet you love all the progress, I know we all do. Maybe add a half table sort of thing to one side of the island so you can still use it as an island table. Maybe hinges?but that would ruin the island, there has to be a way…Make a trend. I am so thankful for your heart in giving Ryan that apartment to redo. ❤❤
