This Explains A Few Things

[@idontwantachannel7542]

Good on all of you for repurposing the insulation for Simon's place. It warms the heart to see how you take care of each other.

[@chriss-nf1bd]

There has to be art schools where you are. You should draft them to help with the chapel ceiling. As they must want to give students experience in restoration.

[@tamarafarnsworth5049]

I suspect that insurance/liability would be prohibitive. Great idea, otherwise.

[@brigittelacour5055]

Insurance won't work in France if the employer is avoiding the required security and didn't obliged his employees to respect it. Even if the employee don't turn against his employer, the national health insurance will do .

[@robinfereday6562]

Wouldn’t trust students 😱 I was one once and I wouldn’t trust myself 😂

[@christhompson7547]

I think Michael will do a fantastic job on the ceiling.

[@user-fc2hb3de2w]

Michael is an artist, I thought he was going to do the ceiling restoration.

[@joanoneill381]

Billy, your father is a treasure. He’s such a hard worker and always there to help his family. You’re all so lucky.

[@eileenpigden1750]

Be kind to your Dad. You would have a problem if he went home!

[@IreneSonni]

I am so glad to see you are wearing protective gear! My husband died recently from COPD. Caring for someone who’s lungs are so damaged that they no longer work on their own, gives you a realization of how important it is to protect them.

[@anuhjarpe1812]

Sorry for your loss ❤

[@jesschee5891]

So sorry for your loss. My grandfather suffered from emphysema for many years and it was terrible to watch. Protection is key ❤

[@idontwantachannel7542]

So sorry for your loss. And yeah on Billy and his crew wearing protective breathing gear. Now if we can get Billy to wear gloves 🧤

[@annadavis2547]

Lost my mother to COPD. She had damaged lungs after repeated bouts of pneumonia. My brother also suffered with COPD. he was a rough/finish carpenter/contractor. We believe he damaged his lungs because he did not properly protect them. Sawdust, dust cement and sand can get into lungs when one forgets to mask. He was able to get a double lung transplant.

[@georgiaobree]

Oh darling, you have really been through it. So sorry for you loss xxg

[@Michael_1946]

Simon, I think it's great that you're saving all the insulation for your projects at your home.

[@Vanessa-pl3br]

Exactly what I thought and also about the electric sockets...

[@boa1793]

Can you reuse the metal vertical supports, also?

[@maryp2747]

When Billy starts digging up an unknown void in the walls does anyone else hope he finds a treasure chest filled with gold to help pay for the convent remodeling?

[@katariinavainio4828]

I was hoping he would find the missing silver objects the nuns hid when they left the convent

[@wildfireintexas]

Absolutely.

[@terrileyda5346]

Yanis is like a one man wrecking crew! love it!

[@pamelastock6167]

We received our print from the organ restoration. It is beautiful. Michael is so talented. The print will hang in my office and will be a reminder of all of you who made the restoration happen. My husband and I enjoyed watching the progress. What a talented group.

[@LynnThompsonAuthor]

I can't wait to receive mine!

[@ehpeachylove]

I am still waiting for mine that was shipped around the 6th December coming to Northern California. I cannot wait to get it.

[@AnnaMarieKenward]

I received mine too. One of the organ, and two of Pip. I love them. Need to get some nice frames for them now.

[@dorisbradshaw3823]

I have recieved mine , the print is stunning ,

[@LynnThompsonAuthor]

@@ehpeachyloveOh, how do you know it was shipped? I haven't gotten anything saying mine has shipped. I know that my payment cleared (finally), but I had to get on the phone with my bank and explain to them why I was making a charge paying to an account in France in order for them to approve it. I think it took 3 tries for my order to complete.

[@joannebolton1]

Billy's famous last words, "it'll be expensive but it has to be done" so happy you're not needing to scrimp, and you can get it right and just how you want it 💪

[@loriboyce942]

Simon definitely does demolition with more ‘finesse’. So good to see his return.

[@juliehinkel608]

I truly appreciate Simon reusing the insulation. The convent gets a facelift to recover the beauty it deserves and Simon provides new life to his home. Everybody benefits.

[@nickitighe9163]

Billie to see your dad working away with y’all is so heartwarming. How young is your dad? I look forward every day to see what’s next. America is watching.

[@sherrylelee8274]

He’s 80

[@marindacoetzee6760]

@@sherrylelee8274 WHAT? Golly, that is just amazing what he is still capable of doing! Hats off to him!!

[@mrsducky3428]

If dad is 80, how old is grandpa? 😮

[@donnagagne3813]

So excited to see the library to come together. Also; good job Simon reusing the insulation. Less for the landfill. God bless you all.

[@jeniferpollonais6546]

Billy is always motivated! He truly loves what he is doing. Judging from the convent’s new kitchen, I can imagine how fantastic the library will be!

[@robinfereday6562]

Billy your dad is a treasure as you know 😊 he puts most younger men to shame with his hard work

[@lorispencer2046]

Great idea Simon to reuse the insulation. That's using your noodle. 😊 I love your sense of humor Billy. Your hilarious. 😂

[@ignota.]

Saves money and it's good for the environment 🌿

[@ehpeachylove]

The gallery needs to be wheelchair wide for access for the disabled that would enjoy the art gallery too. Lots done today Billy. Also Simon I loved hearing about how nails were handmade. It’s been so fun hearing all the bits and bobs of this old building. Wishing your parents a nice time away together and safe travels too. ❤❤❤

[@kandacehazard127]

That means turning radius at the corners. It also would be good to have some indoor greenery.

[@nickandlaurihyde]

Access for the disabled isn’t possible until the decision is made to fix the elevator. As of now, this building is not accessible to those who can’t walk, Which is really, really unfortunate for them. It’s not fair.

[@lindsayjeanae]

Super important!

[@lindsayjeanae]

@@nickandlaurihydedid he say he wasn't going to restore it? I really hope he does, or replace it with a new one.

[@ehpeachylove]

@@nickandlaurihyde I am sure that Billy will eventually get the elevated up to code or whatever will be required. I do have faith in his ability to do what is required in all aspects of this huge project.

[@meri8746]

Working for Billy is a little like deer hunting. The yellow vests let you know where everyone is. That way a wall or roof won’t be pulled down upon you. 😄 Papa Petherick standing up with the boys! 👏🏼👏🏼

[@angleaschroeder6531]

Only the Petherick crew can make hard work look so fun that the audience feels like they are missing out on a good time - and Alex films and presents your hard work as though it’s a party! Well done all - thank you for sharing this amazing journey with us!

[@brittawrolson5936]

Your library is going to be just as gorgeous as the kitchen. The design you have in mind sounds like a resurrection of a grand space.

[@maryannsarkady7950]

Good job today guys wearing all your protective gear, it makes my nurses heart happy that you are protecting your health ! ❤️

[@patriciaadler5743]

❤

[@laurabronson6173]

Billy ... your a great presenter. Appreciate you talking to us like we're right there with you. Cheers

[@freyallarganswald4746]

Lol, yannis is like your very own wreck it Ralph, he gets right stuck in. You are all doing an amazing job and we can now see Billy’s library vision emerging from the dust and rubble 🤗💕🤗💕

[@smh1072]

Since you started your channel I have watched every episode and I’m still hooked. There has never been a video less than brilliant. I don’t know what the formula is, but you’ve got it right 😀

[@LinGell0804]

Love seeing Mick he is such a hard worker . I would have loved to hear what he actually said when he got the Hi Viz 😂

[@lesasmith427]

Probably had to be censored! 😂

[@franceskrahe6261]

A fireplace in the library would be a great atmosphere. Imagine reading by the fire, surrounded by books.

[@catherinefromchristchurchn6508]

Imagine the smoke and soot ruining all the shelves of books 😮

[@lesasmith427]

Oh yes! A gas(propane) or electric one would give u the feeling without all the work!

[@franceskrahe6261]

combustion stove perhaps.@@catherinefromchristchurchn6508

[@A.Martin]

​@@catherinefromchristchurchn6508just a non functional fireplace

[@joysticksnjukeboxes]

If I'm not mistaken, that chimney is precisely where the missing "cupola" was on that aerial photo of the convent. Also, I seem to recall when you were up in the small attic above the third floor, that there looked to be some stone feature right there.

[@eletakelley7188]

Maybe for moving furniture in?

[@PipPop2]

Thank you Billy for taking such good care of your workers.

[@ToriPapi]

I love that you guys are repurposing and think about our planet❣️

[@huwmather5477]

Love it when you find hidden things

[@hollycook2048]

May I compliment the Elder Mr. Petherick! It is a pleasure to watch you work alongside of your family and the others. Wishing you good health for a long time into the future.

[@kathleenestep2419]

Yanis has me chuckling, he’s a firecracker 🧨

[@angelfire402]

Billy is a kind boss. He smiles and laughs. Usually, I see bosses pointing. Billy cracks on!!

[@richardedkins8856]

Billy, your guts and determination is amazing.

[@Kevakazii]

I can't even imagine the costs involved in this project. I would think just looking at the invoices takes courage . I hope KZbin in someway is helping pay for it, even a slight bit. The project is a beautiful dream and I really hope it becomes a reality.

[@johnalonzi8353]

Thank you Michael for my print absolutely lovely Kate ❤

[@mannyortiz4814]

Billy,Dad,Yanis,Simon and Alex my library builders. I can imagine how beautiful the library will look. A wonderful place to read and meditate. Darlings until tomorrow. Please, take care and stay safe. Love ya 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🕊🌹🙏👍🌞😇🇺🇸🌈❤️

[@dellamcconnochie]

Billy you are amazing all the planning that you do all the other guys rely entirely on you Without your ability to organize this renovation wouldn't happen I am in awe 🎉😮

[@alliejones9864]

Mick puts some Men 40 years younger to shame with his work ethic. You must be so bloody proud to have him as your Dad Billy.

[@MyRyansMusic]

I am thoroughly impressed with the level of order and "environmental protection source-separation" skills you guys possess! Actually, the levels of "epss" France as a country possess is amazing also!! So reassuring! It fills my heart with Hope for a cleaner future 🥰

[@martinalemmerhofer6937]

Yanis is putting his work boots to very good use.

[@catherinemoon3003]

I was just thinking I haven"t ever seen a construction worker make such good use of his feet! He's a gem for sure.

[@ard5116]

I love papa petherick! And tell Michael thank you for the print!

[@tinycotswoldcottage]

I know nothing about engineering but I wondered if the void could have been used for the weights and chains in a weighted winch system? I remember you said that there used to be a winch in the attic... I agree with others that it looks too clean to have been a chimney. Our cottage is from 1750 ish and it was covered inside with what looked like thick tar several inches thick from years of open fires.

[@diannescheid4637]

It's so exciting when new discoveries are made in that beautiful convent! ♥ Look forward to more hidden mysteries revealed!! Thank you for explaining the visual layout for the gallery, it really helps visualize the outcome!! Crack on!! 👷👷‍♂👷👷‍♂ & Alex!

[@JLR1957]

What a find Billy! Many more to come I'm sure!

[@abigailgerlach5443]

What an exciting puzzle! It's like having a timeline into history. The earliest period with no heating other than open fires to the 20th century with boilers and furnaces.

[@cecoya]

It is amazing the changes in the convent over the years with all the new builders bringing their version of change. Be it new walls, insulation, doors, and electric it does make some change in the original blueprint of the convent. I like watching this and think that the library is going to be beautiful. Have a wonderful day

[@TruLdy]

Great VESTS because SAFETY SHOULD ALWAYS BE FIRST👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👷🏼‍♂️👷🏻‍♂️👷‍♂️

[@wandacasper5612]

The library is going to be magnificent.😊😊😊

[@benjodoin1797]

Billy, I wonder if you've considered extending the sides of the dump bed on your truck. I had a similar situation where I added plywood sides and screwed wood at the bottom that slid over the aluminum sides of the bed. It tripled the capacity of my bed and reduced the number of tripe to the dump. They can be temporary.

[@jacquelinenoble6640]

Another awesome job. Team Petherick ! It all sounds really, really exciting. Thanks for allowing me to be part of your journey. 😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

It's so much better and safer than some other diy chateaux renovation channels!!

Thank you for not going overboard with the slow motion video, much more enjoyable to watch thing happen in real time playback.....

[@texacostar9543]

"Yan-the-man" is up down and all around and especially fun to watch at double speed. The air shaft may have been used to carry warm air from the room below since it has no smoke evidence or dark smoke stains.

Gosh, you guys have truly come on in leaps and bounds. Watching you demolish walls and think about ceilings reminds me of our (in a much smaller way) place and how many tons of "insulation" we had to remove. You are an excellent presenter Billy. So interesting and inspirational to watch! Best of luck from us both.
