I like the way you work. Cleaning as you go and carefully disassemble as opposed to sledgehammer demolition.

As a renovator for over 30 years, it is both laughable and frustrating to see modern home renovation shows where the hosts often hand sledge hammers to homeowners and have them smash through walls and cupboards in the demolition process. Particularly in older century homes, demolition needs to be a careful disassembly because what is hidden in the walls is unknown. Not uncommon to find decommissioned electrical wiring, or capped gas lighting pipes still containing gas buried in the walls.

Just to let you know, that window we also had in one of our Monasteries. It was the infirmary, and that tiny room was for Sisters who were too ill to attend Mass in the Chapel. They sat in a wheelchair or movable bed and could see the Mass from the window! I love to see what you’re doing with this magnificent building.

I remember when I was younger. My friend discovered a secret room in his grandfather’s house. In they’re living room there was a big fireplace. To the side of that was a floor to ceiling cupboard. The back of the cupboard was a panelled. Which turned out to be a door. When you stepped inside, it led upstairs by a narrow staircase, to a secret room. Which was full of very old furniture and an organ. My friend’s parents never knew it existed. They were so surprised

Also I wanted to express my respect for you and your family for doing such a fine job; and of course the team of men(and women) who are helping to make this a quality renovation.

Oh, my gosh; what incredible windows! So beautiful- can't believe they were walled-up! Love those discoveries! My sister and I recently moved into a 150 yr-old Victorian, and there was a window seen on the outside that we couldn't find in the house. While cleaning out the upstairs, we discovered a little tiny door behind all the stuff, and lo and behold, we found a whole hidden attic space, complete with the missing window! We call it Narnia; it's awesome. Take care!

Your channel has blown up. It’s obviously something the people want to follow along with.

You're so thoughtful to add beautiful music and historical information. Watching you and your sweet family trips to the hardware and antique stores gives me a perspective of what is available to you for supplies. I have been following you since you received you keys here in Mission Viejo, California, USA. My five acre project in 29 Palms is so insignificant compared to yours, but share your enthusiasm when you find something on the property you had not expected. Yesterday, we just turned on a pump from an old well and water gushed out filling an old water tank 1,000 gallons in two hours. We consider that liquid gold. I can't wait for your next video.

In their church the space is called a triforium. Thank you again for your respectful care of this convent.

Billy, this was glorious. Your editing is fantastic. It was great to see Ernest helping out - valuable lifeskills being learned there. Rick, Steve and Marley are doing amazing work in what will become a stunner of a garden. Can't wait for the greenhouse to be in action. The roses are beautiful and so deep red. Bless Alexander, he isn't cut out for tough gardening work, but he gave it a good go, many kudos for perseverance and effort! Your new window onto the chapel is intriguing, worrying, because of the risks it poses, but a real find. Maybe Michael could paint some of the panes to make it into a stained glass feature. That office would be good as a small sitting area for relaxing in after a hectic day of filming. I suspect the window may have been for letting the music and services be heard by those in the infirmary, but there could be loads of reasons. Well done, team Petherick, this story is so compelling.

Your office is now the belle of the ball! 🙏 I can feel all the loving prayers that came from the Saints who were in that room praising God and all of them are grateful you're treating that place with such great care and love. God bless you for your efforts and may God continue to protect this lovely place. I pray it continues to be a blessed place to share the gospel, received miracles and embrace the coming Great Awakening of the Holy Spirit!

😆 Watching you walk up the stairs and seeing the elevator taped up made me think of - The Big Bang Theory. What a fantastic find in your office.

I love everything you all have done, and the window you found is so beautiful. But I was looking at the artwork on the walls, when you opened all the window to the right. I would love just to spend a day looking at this beautiful nuns home. So much to take in and you are giving this home a new lease of life.

My first time seeing your channel. I was drawn by the headline and by the name Pethericks. My grandmother was a Petherick from a tiny place in Devon. She came to Canada as a child when the family moved here around 1905. Your office window is spectacular!

Alexander needs overalls, gardening gloves and some heavy shoes or boots! However entertaining it is for us to watch him gardening in his 'man about town' image, he needs to be clean and safe. He is so sweet, bless him!

Another epic episode. Steve and Rick are such hard workers - constantly uncovering little treasures under the overgrowth of vegetation. Discovering that chapel window gave me goosebumps. The light coming through there was heavenly - truly! Music was perfect throughout. Thanks, as always, for taking us along on this beautiful adventure. Maine USA
