Billy, the best looking thing to do is to put the refrigerator in the cabinet space. It needs to be recessed and then you will gain the space on the other side of the kitchen. You are really creating a working kitchen nightmare by having the refrigerator on the opposite side of the kitchen from your sinks and work area.

[@natalia.who.what.where.when.]

My 2 centimes: I'd recess the fridge in that space and then have 2 matching dressers under those lights. Fridge is gorgeous, but sticks out like a sore thumb in that spot. It's fun designing someone else's convent! 😂 Miss my French farmhouse kitchen my youngest used to scooter around in. Now I have a tiny galley in FL...::sigh::

[@davidwilliss5555]

Oh, that's a really good idea!

[@user-ep3lf7kp6m]

I really like that idea too!!

[@vsee2207]

Forged iron chandelier. Is it too late? Could put electricity to island by putting it in an antique column and run it down from the ceiling.

[@andreastieff]

I was thinking about that too. I kind of like the idea of either recessing the fridge in there or just putting the fridge against the "new" wall and opening the cubbard into the hallway as a niche of some sort. I keep thinking how much running around the cook will have to do to get from fridge to cooker to the sinks on the long wall… having the fridge closer to sinks and on the same wall as cooker would probably make a lot of sense..but of course I’ve never physically been in the space, so there’s that!

[@candybenteu8717]

So great to have Simon back! I agree with some of the others that framing in the frig would look awesome. Right now, it just looks unfinished standing there by itself. ❤

[@dianeknight4839]

Yanis is a lean,mean,wrecking machine. That man takes no prisoners when it comes to demo. Billy your Dad works so hard, most men his age would be sitting back with their feet up. I can see he has built the work ethic in both you and Michael. Simon is a gem, such a team player and always with an eye for the History. Glad to hear the kitchen is finally going to be finished.

[@sherrylelee8274]

The fridge would be good in the cupboard space Billy. It kind of sticks out like a sore thumb where it is. Also makes the kitchen more workable. 😊

[@ruthpowers3810]

I have to say Yanis is just too cool. I'm 79 years old and so impressed with his attitude and his hard, hard work. You are so lucky to have him working for you

[@tropicalmom2468]

Put the fridge in the old cabinet space which gives it a built in look and gives you floor clearance freeing up where the fridge currently sits.

[@carolyn279]

The nails are an amazing find. I love that you are all taking your time and saving the old materials.

[@patriciajamieson9838]

Those old forged brackets are also from a time where a person made what they needed, nails, etc. They are worthy of being displayed someplace, maybe a showcase in a hall somewhere with all the bits shown in their 200 yr old glory

[@capriciahughes7245]

Perhaps using the brackets, nails and timber from the walls when the table(s) is made for the dining room. Love the community and channel…Clearwater, FL 🇺🇸

Yes. So much demolition! Great teamwork and organization here though keeping the motivation going.

[@OZARKMEL]

Forged bracing, hand forged nails. I've said it before....Billy needs to get a beautiful antique glass front cabinet and display ALL these things you are finding, document what it is, where it was found and what it was used for if known. These beautiful things need to be on display for everyone to see and appreciate!

[@michellejenkins5922]

Simon one of the first jobs as an apprentice blacksmith back then was to master the art of nail making, these were the tasks given to them so master blacksmith could do the more skilled work. They were also a way of showing how well a blacksmith trained his apprentice so much could ride on this, the iron plate you showed etc.

I'm amazed at how bright the area looks with all of the walls removed. I know each bedroom had a window, but it really shows how light and bright the whole area is now without the walls.

[@dianahampton8768]

This is the reason why I watch your channel, the way Simon explains things it’s super cool. This is the same reason why Michael’s channel went viral so fast. People love to learn new things. We also love to watch construction but especially to learn new things.

[@RedSiloHomestead]

Nails back then were very expensive to make and used only where they absolutely needed to be, which is why most construction back then was done with mortise/tendon and wooden pegs. Castles in your area would use very very few nails, mostly in things like drawbridges and doors to add strength, otherwise, the wood bits were all jointed. Great Find!!! Definitely one for the convent museum!

What a perfect way, to spend a rainy afternoon! Nothing beats watching the Pethericks ❤

[@jesschee5891]

Billy, it’s obvious you feel badly not keeping the cabinet but you are there and can “feel” the room and what feels wrong needs to go. I love that you’re not ripping it out and just closing it over. ❤ Looking forward to seeing Simon’s place and the progress you guys make there👍🏻

[@DaniMetzinger]

I hope you have a room to display all the cool old things you’re finding. Like the wallpaper in the priest hole and the hand forged nails. Like a mini convent museum.

[@snowmanhubbard]

Billy, it seems you never ask your workers to do any job that you would not, or do not do yourself. Much respect.

[@myspanishhome]

Changing your mind is also part of the process, I’m still fascinated by that kitchen, you’re an inspiration for small channels like us!

[@lorispencer2046]

The rubble shute was really worth the money. It feels so nice to see things as tidy as you can get it. The forged items were really cool to see. A display in a shadow box to hang once the convent is finished would be a great way to show some of the history of the building. I'm really looking forward to seeing the progress at Simon's cottage. Great job all.

[@JuSutton]

FANTASTIC decision to remove the kitchen built in cupboard HURRAY!!!! & you could always open it up in the hallway to make a recess for a bench seat or even a cupboard for storing coats, boots etc. A REALLY GREAT DECISION - well done. 👍👍👍

[@andreamalik2961]

That's a brilliant idea to open up the archway from the other side. A seat or settle would look amazing there

[@lauriemattingly2699]

I love the idea of using that cavity from the hall side as as an open space with hooks, etc. for jackets, boots, etc. right inside that entry door.

[@clairethomas1044]

Muddy boots from the garden too. Fab idea.

[@kalebrobertson5730]

This! I'd been commenting on this since long before they officially decided to remove the cupboard from the kitchen. It would just add a lot of valuable storage to the hallway and if they opened up the matching cavity by the front door in that hallway then it would make for great symmetry and there could be two matching coat closets or bench seats or whatever they choose!

[@jeremycraddock4108]

Open it from the other side and leave the eco flow for emergency lighting in the lobby and kitchen.

[@timeforturtles]

Although accompanying music to demolition matches the slo-mo demo-lition …the organic sounds of deconstructing the building sound good (beginning) the shovel, the whoosh of the shoot, etc. While I understand editing for just organic sounds (like ASMR creators do) is very tedious, I have to say I enjoyed hearing the organic ones today! I just love seeing the space completely opened up without those tiny rooms. Billy, it’s YOUR kitchen, you do whatever you want with it! If you’re happy, we’re happy.😊 ❤ Look forward on pins and needles everyday to see what’s next…

[@girlnorthof60]

Suggestion for kitchen. Maybe recess refrigerator into the space where the old arched doors are. Balancing cooker and refrigerator on either side of entry door. Love the progress and Organ rebuild was amazing to watch.

[@cynnail395]

🤔

[@marydavis2444]

Love the idea of recessing the refrigerator into cupboard. It really does look out of place along the wall and would save on restudding wall. Put your extra storage where the refrigerator is. It will look more balanced.

[@marysell6184]

Kudos to you, Billy, for being willing to do what you think is best for the kitchen! Sometimes you just have to make the best decision you can at the time and then be open to possible changes that will serve a better purpose. Again, congratulations on the great progress everyone is making in the library! Well done!

Happy TGIF and have a great weekend!

[@carolineholland4178]

Billy, you could turn that whole alcove into an amazing coffee bar area once the doors are gone. It could be a beautiful designated space with a fabulous coffee machine, maybe an extra little sink in there. A place to keep all of the syrups, nice coffee mugs etc... Some comfy chairs nearby? It could become an amazing functional feature. Another idea would be to put the fridge in there and board around it creating an alcove for the massive fridge. I have to admit, the fridge doesn't look at home between the beautiful windows.

[@angelaprovencher7150]

That refrigerator is too small for this kitchen that is one reason why it doesn't look right for the space it is sitting in now.

[@yvonnestobie-qt2ng]

Definitely agree that the fridge looks terrible where it is and it’s blocking the down light

[@adamduchesne]

Maybe when you seal up the old closet . You can put some of your prints you made of convent in it. Along with things from all the people who is helping . Be a neat time capsule for future renovators .

[@adamduchesne]

& put cool time capsule stuff in it like ,pics,retired power tools,coins.& Maybe a fake skeleton dressed as a priest or nun as a joke lol . Ok. That may be too much .but, you see where I'm going with this .

[@leeproulx7412]

I can understand why you want to close off the cupboard in the kitchen. With so many openings, any added wall space would be welcome. The demolition appears to be moving along at a good pace. I can’t fathom the scope of the projects that you’ve tackled. Phenomenal job!

[@alexjacobs3189]

Your dad is so amazing to watch, you’re so blessed.

[@n-o-b-l-e-m-x-n]

Billy, good decision on getting rid of that closet/cabinet in the kitchen. You are right, it does look unfinished and out of place in a kitchen that was just beautifully renovated. Can't wait to see how the kitchen cabinets tie everything together 😁😁

[@grillo58]

It would be great to move the fridge to the cupbord location. You would then have the kitched triangle between the fridge cooker and sinks. Much better flow of the kitchen space.

[@CMOT-vo9bp]

This was my thought too. Where the fridge is now kind of sticks out a bit. Then again, not my convent, not my problem 😂😂😂

[@carolwhite6979]

the old cabinet would be great in a pantry or laundry room. or even in a greenhouse in the garden!

[@dankristensen726]

Billy and company, great job in all your are doing. I’d suggest, because there is so much room in the convent, to pick a place to build a “Museum of the Covent”. This to preserve all the interesting and historically significant items you’ve already discovered and wish to retain, curated to be as they were found.

Absolutely enjoying the reno of the convent! During the organ installation, it was so well documented and very emotional. I haven't been reading comments, however, I hope it's been suggested that the new library include a display of all the interesting oddities uncovered in the demo. Like the metal bracket Simon discussed. You've found so many fascinating items.

[@royervalleyfarm4568]

Dear Billy and Friends, I enjoy your video and the renovation of the convent. As a person that’s done quite a bit of this type of work I have a suggestion for. I’ve always been told to work smarter not harder. A lesson I have been trying to implement as I’ve gotten older and more physically broken. So in your videos you have a wheelbarrow sitting beside the mud and clay. I don’t know when the wheel was invented but that tool has one. It’s designed to put loose material in to make it easier to move heavy objects or a lot of loose materials from one spot to another. So as a thought instead of you and your friends shoveling the rubble walking around the empty wheelbarrow across the entire length of the room and tossing it in the debris shoot one shovel at a time. You might consider building a temporary ramp and dump funnel to utilize the wheelbarrow for what it was designed for. Load the wheelbarrow up at the debris pile push it across the room up the ramp and into the debris funnel. Less effort and much safer for everyone. A talented man like Simon could whip up a ramp and funnel in no time and could be utilized in other parts of the building when you get to it. Yanis “The Wildman” would love to run up the ramp with a full wheelbarrow of debris. Just saying! Lol!

[@teghanni]

Perhaps Simon can fashion a keyring for Yanis from one of the "apprentice" nails. Simon has taught Yanis much, and Yanis is growing in his skills, knowledge, and experience. What a meaningful gift from a teacher to student. ❤❤❤ Just a thought. 😊😊😊

[@winterriverglampground]

I would turn that cabinet into an alcove for the refrigerator, because the refrigerator is kind of awkward sitting out all exposed the way it is (and too modern for the room) And then you’d have the space where the fridge is sitting now to put your wall unit. Either that or turn the cabinet into your coffee station

[@GoldenLady9779]

It seems in every project there's a spot where you keep working on it but it still doesn't feel right. But then with the passage of time something 'clicks' and you get the insight of how to move forward. I'm glad you kept working on it, Billy. The kitchen is going to be amazing and it will be exciting to see it all come together. 😘

[@Rain-Peters]

Gardener here. A little bit of lime in the darden is ok but too much will make it difficult for the plants to get nutrients and can kill them. What great headway upstairs! Wow!

[@cmfarinallc3878]

I see the empty wall space next to refrig. With an upright freezer. I’d encourage keeping the back up eco flow for the refrig/freezer that may be full in the future (in a different space). Guests might also like temp. Safe food during a power outage! Really enjoy each of you and seeing the convent come back to life. 😊

[@user-ut9il8pi2t]

Another change to make in the kitchen is to raise the long work island in the center enough to allow for the cooks' toes to go under, called a toe kick. The way it is now, they will be bending over uncomfortably - all day - because this part has been forgotten. Also the countertop doesn't project the inch it normally does, helping again with one's posture for hours. This could be solved by adding a strip of oak down the center of the counter, matching the counter's thickness and finish.

[@louiselewis5061]

Great progress on the demo. Love your idea to get rid of built in cabinet. It looks out of place with all the beautiful pieces in the kitchen. Can’t wait to see it all put together.

Hi…Arnold says to get a 5-gallon bucket and shovel the debris into it then dump the bucket into the chute…saves many trips walking to and from with shovels :-)

I came here looking for this suggestion! I would have the bucket in use as they rip down the wall. Not the best use of time doing it their way. Thoroughly enjoying these vlogs and adore everyone involved.

[@teresemk]

I think your decision about the cupboard was a good one, Billy. Sometimes we just need to mull things over and ponder a bit before making a change. One thing you may want to consider: most of the furnishings and appliances are pretty much of the same height. It might be nice to have a furniture piece that is tall-to bring the eye upward. Not only that, it would provide more storage. The proportions will be key, too.

Excellent idea to rescue much needed wall real estate in the kitchen.

[@hollyhayward956]

I’m sure you’ve already thought this through, but I’d suggest putting the range cooker, fridge and bench tops all on the same side of the kitchen. Otherwise that’s a lot of walking to be able functionally cook something in the kitchen. Maybe put all the decorative stuff together, and all the cooking stuff together.

[@deborah-cd7wp]

A very large commercial sized refrigerator freezer would fit nicely in the area where the cupboard is. That way, it would look like a refrigerator just sitting out in the kitchen. It would be tucked nicely into where the cupboard is and look like it is built in.

[@nanad267]

Thank you so much ! I just wanted to say thank you for being so conscientious and reusing what you can, recycling what you can, and saving as much of the history of the convent as you possibly can . I think it is just wonderful to watch Simon as he discovers so many of the original 200 hundred plus years of unique hardware and artifacts. It’s just amazing how times have changed. We really do take so many things for granted nowadays. I can only imagine how many hours and hours and hours of time was spent making the nails and the brackets for the château. Can you imagine what the men who forged those would think now ? Probably something along the lines of - - they sure don’t make things like we did !! Things were made to last and last they have !

[@cecoya]

Well done! You all deserve a day off had a busy week. Actually I think you might want to add a convection oven to the kitchen. I like that you will just hide the cabinet and not actually take it out.
