[@valeriemcclain9001]

What a kind gesture to get Yanis to set up a BuyMeACoffee on your channel! He deserves the very best! And what a great leader in Billy to understand that he is developing Yanis to fly on his own one day!

[@TheOneAndOnlyRRR]

A mural depicting the surrounding countryside, all along the top of the library would be absolutely lovely!

[@aussiepastor4352]

❤💯

[@jaytiarks2592]

Sounds like a me job for...... Wait for it...... Michael. 😮😊

[@BtA-k2h]

Oh wow that’s a great idea!

[@dlsdyer9071]

I was thinking that behind one of those panels should be a hidden bar. A study and a brandy or whiskey just seems to go together.

[@normamurray4450]

The big sighs and the animation from Ernest...priceless! Layla is loving the attention. What a great Father/Son team!

[@paulaj7682]

Cracked me up ... holds end of tape measure a few times ... sigh ... "This is hard work." 😅

[@malina1239]

@@paulaj7682he’s so sweet and looks like his dad. Archie looks very much like his grandad . But if you have noticed the photo at the chateau of Billy and Michael as toddlers , it’s just like seeing Ernest and Arcibald ❤

[@CharlenePink-Dufresne]

Yanis did a great job during his interview. 😊 I'm sure one day he will be a wonderful dad. He is great with Billy's boys.

[@divaden47]

I heard Ernest ask where Yanis was! Bless him XX

[@bclark5955]

Billy, I see it's bring your kid to work, day!

[@maryannknox7158]

Yes was a great interview so enjoyed it

[@vickibarringer1714]

How old is Yanis?

[@KatMer6163]

Billy & Michael following in Mick's footsteps and now Ernest following in his dad's. Well done that!

[@LottaCoffee]

Three generations working on the renovation is incredible & memories to cherish! I think the Petherick's support their workers very well. You don't see any cries for help on the videos.😄

[@lynnelonghurst6328]

That being the library it would look nice with oversized leather chairs and chesterfields, cozy to sit and read. Just a taught .crack on.

[@nilo70]

I thought the same thing !

[@nilo70]

Billy, that looks Amazing! No,Really. Three Generations working on the Convent, WOW ! Cheers From California 😎

[@suecollado8696]

💕It’s very kind of you to help Yanis this way he is a lovely guy who works extremely hard and is a fast learner💕

[@zeenatbaer138]

It was very evident and emotional in Yanis's interview how much he misses his mum, family and country ... I knew he must be helping support them with all his hard work and drive. I would be so happy to buy him a coffee .. he really deserves all the help any of us can give him. Bless your heart Billy and family, and bless you Yanis.. you have made your mum so proud I am sure. P.s Leyla is such a sweetie-pea

[@metropcs7560]

Wonderful Video Dad!!! Have a blessed week.

[@suzannefiesel5734]

My grandpa used to say, "Every dog needs a boy." Layla with Ernest is so sweet!

[@jangriffiths8013]

Ernest's deep, heavy sighs are hilarious!

[@wiggy3333]

Yes! So precious and funny all at the same time! 😊

[@marytaylor9185]

His help was immeasurable....LOL I really liked hearing him ask where Yanis was; putting Lela's bed in the room where everyone was working......Such a thoughtful little guy.

[@piyushverma3032]

It is soo amazing to see Ernest and Laila. And glad to have Rick back again.

[@SusanJamieson-4]

I just love him! Have a couple little boyos of me own! Brings back so many memories! I love watching all your work. We did an old farm house that was an old stage coach stop many many years ago her in the center of rural NY. We had a farm mortgage so we had to maintain or improve. It would have been easier to tear down the place! But we did it. Not that I am ever going to be doing anymore house fixing but I sure have learned alot from you. That is such a fascinating place! I so enjoy your kids around. So much. Its amazing how much like you his mannerisms are.

[@JesusizmyLordandSavior]

It’s always a pleasure to watch Mick, Rick and Yanis work together!

[@lfm6269]

Ernest is so handsome (cute). He is a big help. I love how he took care of Layla, helped his dad and wa asking where is friend, Yanis, was! I am glad we got to see Ernest today. Dad did a great job with Ernest’s safety gear!

[@DevonaRavenhold]

This is so fun to see your boy working with you today!!

[@LW62FL]

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT ERNEST IS THERE!!! That is how they learn and these are Precious Memories for them, Dad! He'll always know Dad had TIME for him!!

[@marilynwade9448]

I am sure Yanis has never complained about his pay. He lovescbeing part of Pethericks. Sounds to me like he has a great deal and loves you all

[@bbrowne8155]

I believe you treat Yanis very well. He is learning life lessons and skills.

[@paulinedixon3490]

What a fantastic apprentice Ernest is. I’ve not seen him for a while. What a handsome lad he is and how he’s grown.

[@maryannsarkady7950]

Your new apprentice is adorable ! Love the yanis cam !

[@carynscheffer6299]

Matching keys to cupboard doors would be a great job for Earnest!

[@margotwelland2459]

I thought so too ❤

[@hollym-hopefilledhistory]

As always, another beautiful video! It is so wonderful to see such genuine care between people who also have a wonderful work ethic. "The Pethericks" is a channel that will never disappoint! Thank you for such wonderful content and for sharing your part of the world with us! Take care and may the Lord bless you always!

[@LynneCarey]

It was great finding out some more about Yanis. Thank you Yanis for being willing to share. I was also thinking let’s not forget about Rick too. He’s always willing to do anything that’s needed. Billy is fortunate to have such a great team and I’m sure they feel fortunate to be working on these amazing projects. 😊

[@MoonAndPlume]

No apologies for saying AMAZING! It appropriately expresses your enthusiasm and that’s the reason I tune in day after day!

[@MyOwn-m1w]

As if anyone would think Billy would short change Yannis. I would say he made his own luck & his life has immeasurably improved. He lives for free in a beautiful surrounding, been given the opportunity to learn all sorts of trades & a new language, treated like family & reciprocates with hard work and respect. Who wouldn’t want to work with The Pethricks!

[@juliarank7490]

I like the footage of three generations. So nice to see Rick back, so will be sure never to miss Mondays and Wednesdays. You are very patient and and helpful, Billy, with your new apprentice!! You really are a kind and lovely person, Billy, to do the Buy Me a Coffee for Yanis. What you pay people is your own business, not anyone else's. Some people need to know where the lines are drawn. You are obviously a wonderful employer or so many people would not continue, or keep coming back, to work with you. Everyone works equally hard and you are all a fantastic team!! Including Mick, Alex and Layla!!!! You are doing a great job, Billy and Company!!

[@OzziePete1]

That footage of young Ernest on site takes me back years. I'm 63 but when I was a boy my Dad used to work as a leading hand and later foreman on worksites building apartment blocks. He would bring me on site when I was on school holidays, probably to give Mum a break from me! The lads on site would set up a sand pit on the side of the site, I'd play in there but also wander around with Dad as work progressed through the day.

[@wendykenney8145]

That’s so sweet to see Ernest following in his dad’s and grandfather’s footsteps!

[@CoralieNah]

It’s wonderful hearing Ernest having a conversation. We see the kids for a second every now and then but don’t see how big they are. Cute!

[@elizabethbesco4758]

Yanis is such a nice man. He so loves the children it's so sweet.

[@jeanburgin160]

Congratulations to Yanis! He is a hard worker and very skilled at plastering. Sweet to see Ernest being interested in restoration.

[@AnitaBotbyl]

Just as I thought the YANIS episode was the best EVER, you top it with the ERNEST one😍😍😍

[@juliemercer1458]

I think Yannis is very well looked after, a well paid apprenticeship (he's being trained on the job) a home, a brilliant boss and fantastic work mates.....anyone would give their eye teeth for all of that. You guys have set him up for life and being the sweetie that Yannis is he will probably be eternally grateful to you all.

[@LouShadow-pj9ug]

My heart sank when I saw the wood beams being loaded up and then recovered when I realized they were being moved to be stored. And then.....SIMON IS COMING BACK!! I have a low key crush on him❤❤😂😂😂.

[@TreasureDeal]

I know what you meant about the beams. I was distraught thinking they were going to the dump. Saved for another project YAY!

[@gwen2336]

Thank you for the Yanis interview. It gives an added dimension of understanding him, his energy, history and tattoos. Buy me a coffee is a great idea! Ernest is a very sweet boy, love the way he sighs and thinks before he answers. I did hear the higher pitched “words” after about the third replay. It definitely is there.

[@Helenfromeugowra]

Yanis it was loverly to watch your interview yesterday. You remind me of a man who was engaged to build a patio by our landlord 50 years ago. We lived in village near Grenoble. The man was also from Algeria. My son was two years old at the time and he trotted around all day with the workman picking up screws and such to fill his lockets. Every morning i would return the screws and bits and pieces to the man. It was during Ramadan and so hot but he was always cheerful and kind. I had forgotten all about it until i saw your interview. ❤

[@Fasciseus]

Billy, a couple of days ago you were wondering what the shallow bookcase section was used for, you thought possibly as a plate rack, no. It was once a faux bookcase front; it would have faux book spines carved of wood and covered with leather to look like the spine of a real book, rows of them to blend in with the adjoining bookcases. It would conceal a hidden cabinet or door behind, or to hide something else such as a chimney in the room.

[@TerryInUSA]

Wow - that's really neat to know!!

[@nelks1284]

Interesting!

[@sueannmestemacher524]

How sweet seeing daddy & son working together ❤️.

[@srigging]

So sweet....learning at an early age 🥰 Yanis has a wonderful relationship with all of you. Sage advice: Anyone commenting otherwise - ignore the negative comments. ❤🤗🌟

[@LisKofod]

I love your next generation helper 🎉😊 we saw him as a little baby, and dad was SO PROUD ❤

[@karenniehues4786]

Billy, I can feel you are more relaxed since Alex has returned & Simon will soon be there. Your sense of humor & off the cuff remarks show it!!! I’m so glad!

[@SM-mq7zl]

Love the new crew member! He's adorable with his little hardhat!

[@dawnfrost5374]

Billy big thank you for setting up the buy yanis a coffee page. It is nice that we can show our appreciation to him ourselves. Your a lovely thoughtful man Billy ❤

[@CharlenePink-Dufresne]

The red felt will make the library pop! It is going to look AMAZING!😂😊

[@christineh5790]

Rick, it’s great to see you back again, your cheery smiles have been missed! Earnest is such a sweet little boy and so eager to help his Dad. Yannis - loved your interview and with all your new found skills, life should be all uphill from now on. Roll on all those cups of coffee before cracking on too! 😅👏👍

[@glennwall552]

Visted a terrace house which had a library like yours once loaded up with books the room shrinks and becomes a warm and cosy atmosphere his way even though two stories for he had a load of books hed already read. And your sparked my need for one only one storie. Lol

[@mccoycyndi]

Thank you, Yanis, for the interview !! Just wanted to let you know I appreciate you !!!! Hugs. Oklahoma USA

[@chriswilford3576]

Yes, thank you from me too. You handled the questions well with just enough information but yet keeping your privacy. Thank you Billy for supporting Yannis as you do.❤

[@lindamitman4538]

Ernest is so adorable - you must be so proud of him! What fun for him to work with his dad and granddad.

[@tiffanymurfitt6775]

I really miss the music. But I love you all and I love the whole project. A cat on my lap, a dog at my feet, a hot coffee, and the Pethericks are the warm and kindest way to start the day. But I do miss the music. Love to you all.

[@loyalrammy]

Congratulations Apprentice Yanis! I bet your mother is so proud of you.

[@26beegee]

You are an honorable man, Billy! Your parents must be very proud of you. 😘

[@dianehale7650]

Love how you solve your visions by verbalizing them.

[@heidit8009]

I love it when you say: ‘It will be absolutely amazing.’ You have so much enthusiasm for your vision and you are always right. It always does end up looking absolutely amazing! 🤗

[@jangriffiths8013]

Ernest is so cute! He's getting more handsome everyday! So happy to see Dad working with him!

[@jenniwatson8799]

Lovely to see Earnest, he has grown so much. Layla was living her best life as well.

[@GizliBiraz]

You could do the painting with the eye holes, but have the portrait side have several different people and animals so the boys (or other short folks) could get back there and look through the painting or taller adult folks could do the same. Remember that you'll need a panel with the eys painted in that can be slid out of the way so you can look through... I'm sure Michael could paint something that looks like it's from the era the chateau was built... that would be so much fun!

[@sueannmestemacher524]

I love to the fact that you reuse things and put old with the new but keep the character of the old.

[@denisemastromina7821]

How nice seeing Ernest, he has grown so much, 😊😊😊

[@kimbecker6203]

The thought has actually never crossed my mind how much or if you pay your workers i feel you don't owe us any explanations about anything I watch because I love what your doing nothing else oh besides liking all you lot 😊

[@davidgodfrey1815]

Love what you are doing. What you pay Yanis, is between the two of you. He is developing skills that will serve him and his family well for years. What better way to help someone than to help them grow.

[@kathymarshall220]

Ernest is the spitting image of you, Billy, both in looks and personality 😊 it’s so lovely to see him learning all these skills working alongside you just like you have with your dad ❤

[@lornanorris1363]

I can't believe how big Ernest has gotten, he did a great job helping you. 👍 Also pay attention to the way the dog acts, when wandering around upstairs, cause if there's a spirit the dog will see it. You guys are doing a great job 👍👍👍✌️

[@SylviaKetron]

Yes please leave as much of the original patina as you can, that’s what makes that library so special and has stories to tell ❤

[@marilynhaverly570]

I read comments once in a while here and elsewhere and I’m surprised when folks say what should or shouldn’t be done on the projects we’re all following and enjoying. Also, how would anyone know what Yannis is paid-or anyone else on the payroll for that matter? I trust you all to be doing what is right and fair-you seem to be those kind of people. Watching your vision come to life is a privilege!

[@wildfireintexas]

Teach skills early and show them they are a valuable member of the team.

[@TRoth858]

How sweet to have 3 generations working on the convent. No doubt they will be working together on the chateau as well. Be sure to take 3 generation photos with your dad, you, Ernest. Then your mum, you, and Ernest. And the same with your youngest son. Beautiful family. It was wonderful seeing Rick again. I've missed his cheery smile & twinkling eyes.

[@Rachelkasey]

Love that we can support Yanis directly too! Great idea. 😊

[@TheHavasu_77]

Earnest has gotten so big, and him playing with the dog was adorable! 🥰 ❤

[@maryp2747]

The hidden space can be used as a broom closet to store a vacuum cleaner and supplies.

[@mariannesvensson3660]

Lovely seeing the young apprentice 😊 You’ve said it before how big the library’s gonna be but only today it hit me. I was thinking each level the size of my apartment, especially when seeing it on screen, but I was wrong. You said 65 square meters. My place is 37…

[@ThePaulahoo1]

As someone who has watched your incredible convent videos many times over, I cheer for every "amazing" you exclaim! Now, when my own work gets tough, I find myself saying it too!! I love it!!

[@gaylehill6165]

It was absolutely precious watching you work with your son! Our children are our biggest investment! ❤️

[@TheNightOwls2]

Every day is such an adventure with something new & unexpected …and today we had the double whammy of Ernest & Layla in their new apprentice and offsider roles (and that was so adorable) as well as a lovely addition of Yanis buy me a coffee link ( wonderful idea Billy!) Kudos Alex…well picked up with the ‘voice’ 👍 I also could hear it, but to me it seemed to be more than just the three ‘syllables’ and sounded like either a childlike or feminine voice calling out or maybe even singing? To me it sounded joyful & happy which isn’t surprising with all the life you are all breathing back into the convent. I can’t wait to see if you capture some more intriguing soundbytes! 🤞

[@Lom-i1m]

Billy, you are " AMAZING." Sorry, I couldn't resist. I do have to say a little bit of humor is wonderful. You and your family and work family are fantastic. Enjoy seeing the progress. Keep up the great work. Oh, and Crack On.

[@marynolan6401]

So kind and supportive Billy to do that for Yanis blessings to you all❤

[@siameseire]

I love when you say amazing. It shows your uplifting Spirit.

[@merrileeheard3889]

I recall someone complaining about Billy "always" saying amazing! Personally, I LOVE how amazing the convent is coming along❤

[@annadavis2547]

Earnest with the dog is delightful. Not only can we see Yannis at work but we can hear his effort as well.

[@indigosynn1550]

Another thumbs up for the young apprentice 👍👍👍

[@blackorchid0000]

I think you could use the spare space as hidden storage, a secret bar, place for storing stuff you might need.

[@LW62FL]

Or a reading nook with a bean bag chair for a kid with a flashlight.

[@isdecor]

I like the new apprentice and the new Yannis-cam!

[@pamabernathy8728]

My head is spinning from Billy's attention to detail 😮

[@wiggy3333]

Ernest! Love that he is there helping the boys out today! ❤️

[@TheCarole63]

The area behind the library/dining room walls could store folding chairs and tables for future use… BTW - The Yannis interview was captivating. Thank you for that‼️

[@gigivarnum]

I did the same lighting under my pantry shelves, it is ideal if you route into the underside of shelves (or add angled trim to hide the lighting itself) so that the LEDs are at a 45° angle, pointed down toward the back lower corner of the shelf below. That way the lighting lights the contents of the shelves instead of casting stark shadows down the book spines.

[@jomcgee6094]

This was so interesting. I can't wait to see if there are more voices or movement during the night. This library project is moving fast! Great job team Convent❤

[@meganhall1306]

Ernest is soooo adorable Billy! I’m looking forward to seeing what you capture overnight 👻👻. Thanks Billy and Alex. Xxx💕💕💕

[@janbullock4501]

Red lining in the bookcases that go to the ceiling would look absolutely “AMAZING”!

[@elizabethbesco4758]

Or a deep green with the bookcases... anyway it will be amazing

[@berritanner3250]

Billy, I agree with you. It’s going to look AMAZING!!!!!! ❤

[@tostyjoost]

idea: the carpenter could cut left and right ends of the original panels - and make fill-ins (the middle pieces) to the right length.

[@suelongview9925]

What’s wrong with saying amazing? It’s lovely to hear Billy so enthusiastic!

[@amyvetter1830]

Once you put the panels up, I had my "ah ha" moment when I could see it all coming together. With Ernest and Yanis's help, when Simon returns, you will make Amazing progress.

[@dudeorduuude5211]

Haha, the eyeball picture idea is hilarious! Maybe someone can photoshop you and the crew into and old style painting and it could be printed on canvas and they could be looking through your eyes.

[@barbaraheinbeck4778]

The area behind the cabinets could become table/chair storage.

[@mariacatharinameerburg]

Dit is toch geweldig. Een familie van vrienden bij elkaar. Harde werkers 👍

[@jasminaalm]

Layla did a trust fall with Earnest ! Very impressive !

[@bearlady100]

amazing ideas you have, i love just watching

[@T-RexRita]

Just call it what it is, Billy, Amazing 🤩😍🍻 That was really nice starting a "buy me a coffee" for Yanis! You're a legend 👏

[@Kokubun7]

It would be cool if some panels could open and have more books etc inside. ❤🇨🇦

[@pamabernathy8728]

YES! Coffee for Yanis!!!

[@marilynwade9448]

Ernesto is such a beautiful boy. Glad he is following in his dads footsteps
