Undoing the Work and Starting Over

[@kathyhembyhewett6109]

Hi Billy, Please tell Alex how nice it is to have him there! You’re able to move around and do all the things you want to do because he’s doing a fine job on the camera work, music and editing. That’s great. It’s so time consuming for one person to do it all. Having Alex is great! 🎉🎉

[@rosemariedeschenes7013]

Totally agree ❤❤❤❤❤

[@chrisfrear8933]

I just love the beautiful footage and music at the beginning of each video!! Just lovely!

[@kathytiffin6518]

Debussy is a beautiful mode creator.

[@kscruggs21910]

I still can't get over how much Alex has added! The channel was already wonderful but damn! It's incredible now!

[@sallyannefrancis8647]

Ditto !! Billy is less stressed!!

[@amysbees6686]

Bravo Alex! Great addition!

[@Murphy5-5]

I have to admit, that I really do miss Rick. His bright smile was allways so joyfull

[@sondraar]

Do you know if Shaun’s coming back. I must have missed the video that explained it.

[@timmymendenhall1275]

@@sondraar I'm wondering the same. I know Sean's channel has been very busy.

[@gingergreenhill1908]

Ryan: I never knew my real ladder! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@loggerboutin9901]

Billy, I am a very big fan. I am also a retired historic Mason repair man. You can add coloring to your mortar mix. Also the day after you do your mortaring you must wash it with muriatic acid and water. This will take the glaze off of the mortar it'll also clean up excess mortar on the stone. Just put a bunch of blankets down to absorb all the water. It's possible you can do it.

[@heartshapedisle]

I hope the plasterer gets to read this comment.

[@arlenegariepy8957]

You know Billy having that extra door there will be a caterers godsend when they bring in all their food and set up for a event. Another hard days work and a well earned drink. :) :)

[@alexxr7569]

I think the MVP of the Convent is the blue lift.

[@JonathanMarcusGSmith]

Somehow it remjnds me of the Trumpton firebrigade (although their engine was red not blue) and I keep expecting Billy to say "elevate!" Everytime it goes up

[@Flippin_Crazy]

I gotta add: Alex-you are just what the Petherick family needed. Especially our beloved Billy❤🇺🇸💙

[@telern5681]

Just hangin out on with my step ladder. Never met my real ladder. 🤣😂😆 Ryan’s a hoot!

[@smac4565]

So much more productive Billy now you don’t have to fiddle moving the camera around. Good job Alex. Thanks for giving Billy both hands back. 😀

[@lindabattles9094]

Loved Ryan’s quip…”just hanging out with my step ladder, never knew my real ladder”. Love you guys and always enjoy these vids. Nice little lunch time break for me.

[@gailatkinson1955]

That was priceless. I’m sitting in my home alone laughing like an idiot!! 😂😂😂

[@JG-mp5nb]

I loved today's entro. It was beautiful and very soothing. Also, I'm so glad to see the nasty looking pointing over the fireplace going away. Good job Billy! Crack On!

[@thomasherrin6798]

I liked the lime colour, it's in its natural state, in contrast to the natural granite!?!

[@amysbees6686]

Gorgeous intro!!!

[@choochoo9506]

Thanks for goin' back to the beautiful music, Billy...it's so relaxing.

[@CThomasCapricorn]

I love that you clean up your job site at the end of every day. That must make it so nice to come in the next day and be able to start fresh without yesterday's mess!

[@janstevens8120]

The quality of the videos is amazing Billy. Alex is doing a great job. Loved the music at the beginning today, really reminded me of the music from Downton Abbey.😊 The difference in the kitchen fireplace since you removed the pointing and staining from the wood is night and day! It’s also nice to see Ryan with an update on the corner flat at the end of your videos. You are such a good friend to offer him the flat & to see how happy he is since he’s started the renovations says it all. 🙂🇨🇦

[@erbie-wan521]

Beautiful music intro and nature with Alex’s sweet canine sidekick making an appearance. Absolute perfection. 🙂

[@jeannotek8483]

The shots of the land, the architecture, statues, structure, things of interest are wonderful at the beginning of the videos, really are lovely. Great pro cameraman in Alex. Glad the eyesore colour on fireplace is being removed.

[@melissapollime2271]

Love the new music. It gives "Downton Abbey" vibes!

[@rae6082]

I do appreciate the Monica Gellar level of cleanliness! “If only I had a smaller vacuum to clean this one!” (If you know you know!) Love your work Billy 😊

[@lindamitman4538]

Alex has really made such a positive difference for you Billy. His filming and editing is top notch and you can worry about work and your family responsibilities when you get home in the evenings. Thanks Alex!

[@kimberlygee7296]

All the music is so fantastic today!

[@beverleyshaver864]

The fireplace looks better already. Good call Billy.

[@howardmcdaniel3305]

Debussy's Arabesque No. 1. Excellent selection! and so French! From Ann in West Virginia

[@elizabethbrandel6165]

I love the way that Alex has been starting the videos.

[@IgorDellaPietra]

cmon, the stepladder joke deserved more praise.

[@nancyengland6359]

Very good . I'm 67 years old female and that is the coolest tool I've ever seen. I want a mini jack hammer. Just so I can say I have one.

[@JackHudler]

Any hardware, big box store, or Harborfreight has them.

[@jeanbeard178]

I'm 70 and I think it's cool, too. We could be pretty dangerous with a couple of those. No stone would be safe!

[@nancyengland6359]

@@jeanbeard178 lol I got excited when I saw it.

Thank you for wearing the safety gear. Your older self will appreciate it!

[@ChorkieDad]

Alex --- your music choices are WONDERFUL!

[@SpatialHeather]

Alex! Thank you for muffling the jack-hammer-y noises! makes these so much more pleasant to listen to!

[@debbiedickeson3438]

Billy, how’s the bird doing?❤

[@JaxonsDd007]

I miss beer friday 😊 nothing like a cold beer at the end of the week

[@deannfausett3923]

Sometimes you think you know just what you want then realize that it really isn’t going to work. Going backward is frustrating, but sometimes necessary. I think it will look much better with the grayer grout.

[@Yutani_Crayven]

Learning from experience. There is no replacement for that!

[@thomasherrin6798]

I preferred the natural lime, the grey mortar will blend in with the granite but it will look bland!?!

[@kariannecrysler640]

The stones… I can’t believe the difference the wire brushing did! Very cool that the doorway step is going to hold up to the weather. And I’m enjoying the filmography very much. Excellent production ty ✌️💗

[@Pamela-gm5sx]

I would like to give you a heartfelt compliment, I absolutely love your channel! The convent restoration and you and your friends ( seems silly to say) and workers mean so much to me!! Maybe I love the convent so much because I'm a christian and that place has touched my heart so much. I look forward to it every day! Thank you so very much! As my father would say blessings on you! Pam

[@Flippin_Crazy]

Same here Pam. They feel like my kids, grand kids, etc. they make my day! ❤🇺🇸💙Pammyjill13

[@autodidactin]

Enjoyed the floral b-roll at the beginning and some sprightly classical music is always a winner IMO!

[@LordGertz]

Total Secret Garden vibes.

[@dawnbarnes8729]

Some of the music sounded Downton Abbeyesque! I love what Alex is bringing to the channel. I also love watching you and Ryan together. Y’all are a hoot! ❤️😊

[@evakinney3152]

I have been thinking the same about the music. I kept expecting Carson or one of the maids to appear with a broom and dustpan!

[@shelly-sp2rb]

Beautiful Convent

[@davidjenkins1958]

You should oil that air hammer or as you call it mini jackhammer before each use with tool oil, about 5 drops before each use. The oil you want to get to do that is called pneumatic air tool oil.

[@daff.wallace2267]

Agree oil daily before use.

[@tammycrowell5442]

Adding a doorway to that kitchen is going to be incredibly beneficial

[@nancyengland6359]

I think another doorway is the right choice also. 😊

[@Forgon2]

Things have gotten a lot better with the direction this episode! It feels more like Billy's direction again.

[@Stephen_A.]

LOL ! The "very noisy in the bedroom" look. 🥰

[@latestinfo3794]

The side door is already showing its benefits. Great access.

The introduction was fabulous - well done Alex

[@gordonulrickson3626]

So glad the white pointing on the fireplace is gone and also the staining is lessened. I hope the stains don't come back out of the stone.

Yes, nice videography, Alex.

✨Love the classical music to close the video. ✨

[@inkmetal1]

Air tools require oil to run properly, should be listed in instruction manual.

[@Glorindellen]

I always enjoy the artistic segments showing the setting, edited with beautiful music. and seeing the renovations in progress allows us the vicarious experience transforming a wonderful old building to it's former glory. I would love to restore a place, but my age, finances, and lack of a partner in crime make it impracticable.

[@kyleyoung9594]

Loving the new longer videos 👌

[@dorisbradshaw3823]

Another great video ,loved the intro music , watching every day , Alex is a great addition to the team ,❤ The pethericks Family .

[@hazmania]

I was told, by professionals, that when using electrical extension cables (and even vacuum cleaners) you should always unwind ALL the cable from the reel, because the cables get really hot when wound and, after even a fairly short time, they can melt. This would be BAD, VERY BAD! Safety first, unwind all the cable reel so the cable has ventilation around it. It only takes seconds to unwind and then rewind, so...

[@heartshapedisle]

Yes 💯

[@terismith3279]

Love the music!

[@lhmcd5538]

Hi Billy, you are right it does look so much better. A reminder for you. Please clean the dust filter on you vacuum cleaner out as my family have blown up a few due to building work. They didn’t clean them out so it was expensive. I think Alex is a joy. You seem far more relaxed and not as tired which is what we want for you. Alex’s eye sheds a different view on things. Im so pleased that you are wearing PPE as it’s really important that you do. It was good to. See Alex in the reflection and I hope he had a beer with you. Thank you. May you please take care and stay safe. Louisa.

[@pattip7422]

Billy, So glad you are being very safe. You could teach Ryan a few things about safety. I'm glad you are changing the color of the pointing. I didn't care for it but I didn't want to make a negative comment( I'm sure you get enough of those). I pretty much love most of your other choices. It's very clear that you really care and love old buildings. Like I said before Gwen must be an angel, she allows you to live your dream and encourages it. It's very relaxing to watch the joy you get out of renovating the convent.

[@sylviawright5181]

Billy isn't it lovely when you can say ,anything to your mate , Fireplace looks much better ,👍

[@philipstreechon4523]

Hi Bily you need to put oil in the air inlet fitting often. You should use a brass or a SST wire wheel because it will leave small bits of steel in the stone that will rust I did the same thing and there were rust streaks in week what a mess. Use air tool oil.

[@rosemariedeschenes7013]

The grout color closer to the color of the stone would definitely look better. Good choice doing it over ❤❤❤❤❤

[@mrs.antihero]

Loved the music in this episode. I'm glad you removed the white pointing on the chimney. It was rather glaring and I agree that it will look much better in a darker color that matches the stone better.
