Unexpected Turn of Events!

[@creativecottage6137]

Yannis is a shy guy but he learns quickly and always willing to help, well done Yannis. What a great team member.

[@blueice011]

Indeed. Such a hardworking, appreciative, motivated lad, giving his best to learn, to be helpful, to show gratitude for given opportunity. Employees like him should be always highly appreciated, cherished and reworded. It's also lovely to see Rick's smile again, Simon's skillful hands in action and dynamic duo - Billy and Ryan, being the best comic relief. Gwen is simply lovely and little boys are precious. Well done, guys, this will be interesting summer with lots of progress when it comes to project by the end of it. Looking forward to all the changes and milestones achieved. XO

[@mariaav8800]

I would love to introduce Yannis to my daughter. He seems like a very sweet, hard worker and a gentleman ❤️

[@cosmicstardust7772]

Sooooo glad to have Rick’s smiling face back! 🤍😁

[@ninjanana8730]

He looks fit.

[@deborrastrom8559]

We Missed you Rick & prayed 🙏 you back & healthy again. ❤🎉

[@bettyebell2835]

LOOKING GOOD, GUYS❣️. Everyone is heathy !!

[@maryannsarkady7950]

Billy, you and Ryan playing with Archie is just adorable ! The garden is looking great Rick, great job Simon and Yanis, things are moving along !

[@brittawrolson5936]

Great intro,,video and music!! work is progressing so quickly with Yannis, Simon and Rick on site. They are an amazing and efficient team. Love Archie’s ice cream stand❣️ and the antiques,,,,,that wall unit for Gwendolyn is stunning! I understand why she wanted it👍🏻🤗 the extra sink is always a much needed item, and it is special with those support legs. Then Ryan’s safe-like a kid in a candy store getting it stored.

[@maryjanepate4359]

I'm glad to see you have some help, Billy, and a fantastic job all.

Where I'm from in the U.S. we say, "She appropriated it." Everyone knows it means she took it but it also means, "Happy wife, happy life."

[@FngrsXd-n25]

I Have to COMEND all your Dear Mamas & Dads who brought up such gracious gentlemen as well as such great hardworking men who know how to or learn how to remodel homes, construct, rehabilitate massive beautiful old buildings, yardwirk & always with a great smile. Gwendolyn you got an Ace for sure & Billy you got a diamond as a wife too!! Lots of Blessings to you all & your beautiful Familia, from A Texas Elder Lady who l💖ves your channel👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼! Those NUNS are smiling from ear to ear Billy!!

[@KellySBruzeau]

I thought the very same.

[@june6119]

Enjoyed watching Billy and Ryan having snacks at Archie's Café.

[@alandean6692]

Its great to see rick back with that infectious smile

[@SarahBellman]

That furniture piece is stunning! Glad you can enjoy that at home everyday. Such beautiful people all working and creating together 💖

[@kathyl3918]

Having Alex run the filming and editing is pure genius. Sets your channel apart from others. Also, is that a Waffle House hat on Ryan's head??

[@june6119]

I noticed the Waffle House hat on Ryan's head, too.

[@virginiacacal5006]

Appreciating sharper eyes interpreting writing on Ryan’s hat‼️Watching on this 4th of July holiday in Broadmoor/Daly City, CA USA❣️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🧨

Not as good as the Aldi hat or perhaps it was a Lidl hat.

[@jenniferalexander920]

Rick’s been painting the roses red 🤣🌹🥀

[@NA-gw2oc]

I just LOVE that intro, with all the beautiful close ups and textures, the history and such lovely music, and Simon and Yanis almost performing to the music, the way its all been so skilfully edited! Also love the inclusion of the children and pets with Billy and Ryan. Such a delight to watch. Great job Alex! And so nice to see always-cheerful Rick back again :)

[@erbie-wan521]

Oh my word, the music choice when Ryan was riding on the pallet with his safe 😂 perfect!

[@jackiep691]

I’ve always been impressed by yarnnis and the effort he puts in when helping you all out , he always works hard and gives 100% , nice to see him gaining more skills .

[@virginiacacal5006]

Yes, indeed…steady in concentration as Yannis displays in learning/apprenticing from a master plaster craftsman‼️🇺🇸🧨🇺🇸

[@busterdee8228]

Agreed. This is how craftsmanship stays alive.

[@angelfire402]

Everyone is very organized and clean. Crack on!!

[@MilitaryVideoWorks3742]

As a KZbin creator, I am very impressed with the quality of work Alex has done with these video.

[@andy2950]

It really does make a project manager's life so much easier when he/she can rely on a professional gang of craftsmen like Simon,Yannis and Rick.

[@irenelacour3486]

I think that beautiful piece fits just right I the Chateau. Gorgeous wood. It's amazing that Simon And Yannis can communicate to each other so we'll. Beautiful job on the ceiling. See ya

[@Lasertrac]

Yannis seems like a young man intent on learning and being actively engaged in working. Hope for the upcoming generation perhaps.

[@nicolad8822]

Plenty of hard working young people?

[@stewartkemp1616]

Good to see Rick back.

[@martymahem236]

Yannis works like he plays soccer, he's always on the move, getting things done.

[@theenthusiasticgardenerind3490]

I think it is fantastic that you have folks learning new trades. Loved the tea time with Archie. It made me smile :)

[@SarahsUKGraveyard]

Aww Yanis is such a good worker it seems. He looks like he's always trying his best x

[@NinaofFour]

I'm shocked Simon and Yanis has so much of the ceiling completed in such a short time. That's the difference between a professional and a DIYer! Good job, Billy, Ryan, Alex. Rick, the rose garden is lovely now that you put your golden on them!

[@cashk100]

Thank you camera man for showing us what everything looks like 🍻

[@normamurray4450]

That was such a cute shot of Archibald serving ice cream....Billy, you and Ryan were right in there playing the part, sitting on those tiny chairs! Billy you are one heck of a driver and seem to have very little fear...that's a good combo for most things. The way you handle things is true art. Ryan, no doubt you'll be more toughened up by the time you finish your apartment and your muscles won't hurt so much. Yannis, you are so quick and efficient and willing to learn. Nice to see Rick back and welcome Simon!

[@angelaj8958]

a craftsman's work is never done until he has trained his replacement; good on ya Simon!

[@ritaqualter9607]

Rick did a great job weeding the rose beds! When I was able to work in my gardens, that was my least favorite job. I know you have a chipper so why not put wood chippings in the rose beds to cut down on the weeds.

[@lorrainechircop4411]

I can see why she poached, stole, and took the piece. Gwen only deserves the best... ❤🇦🇺

[@vickismallwood2082]

The garden is so happy to have Rick back. So are we. Simon is a treasure. I know what he is doing for Yanks is a life changer. There are not enough skilled sheet rockers without men like Simon willing to teach our younger generations a skill that can be a wonderful knowledge. I am glad Gwynn wanted that beautiful historical piece of furniture it was made for her. She does have wonderful taste. I remember when you and Ryan bought it and the safe Ryan got is fantastic.

[@ceciliajimenezt]

LOVE GARDENS LOVE ROSES GRACIAS

[@patrickmooney4135]

Wow. From yesterday's footage, I just assumed Yannis was old pro at building work. Simon and Yannis look like clockwork efficiency. Looking forward to the work ahead. Thanks.

[@kathywillis7459]

Yannis and Simon are rocking it! Beautiful work. Beautiful cabinet! Always great to see Rick, too. You sure hav3 a fantastic team surrounding you Billy. Can’t forget Ryan either.

[@jillychandler]

It is so lovely to see yours and Ryan's loving side, with the dogs, and with little Alfie, at his ice cream shop. So useful to have the fluent French speaking Ryan at your side Billy when needed with the unloading of that lovely cabinet, sink and safe! Alex, your photography is ace, can we see what you look like please? The secret man behind the camera! I think Brico owes you guys some freebies, with all the purchases you make there. Great to see your two new guys getting on with the job of preparing the ceiling for plastering - they are both working as a real team. Lovely to see our Rick back, with his beautiful eyes! xxx

[@jacquelinereynolds2934]

Alex was introduced on one of last weeks vlogs and he has brought his dog with him

[@robsondog01]

That music accompanying Ryan on the forklift is genius, reminded me of candid camera music. 😂

[@robertastanger9983]

So glad Yans is willing to learn a trade. You can tell he is a hard worker and willing to learn. It is great to see your progres.

[@angelaj8958]

Amen, we need more trades, fewer lawyers

[@peterwhite9261]

Lots of work getting done. Gwen, I am glad you got that display unit for the chateau. It looks like it belongs there. I love Archie's little shop. It was sweet seeing Billy and Ryan be his customers.❤

[@millcitymercantile]

I'm sure the bookcase unit would have looked nice in the convent but it does look beautiful in your living room.

[@lizowens3180]

This filming is just amazing! The young fellow helping your friend with the ceiling is a very hard worker! So nice to see!

[@AliWade1971]

Pure gold. Billy & Ryan enjoying ice creams with Archie - sitting on those little chairs 😂. Ryan on the the front of the Manitou. Alex’s videography and music. Simon and Yanis working so well together. Rick doing what he does best - the finishing touches. Look forward to seeing work in the apartment. Crack On !

[@dianeallan5622]

Yannis has always worked so hard and diligently with whatever he does, such an asset for you and your family.

[@lorrilaque7311]

I admire your and Ryan’s friendship. Once again a laugh watching the exchange. Billy you have some great people working for you

[@debrawondergem1528]

Your darling wife “appropriated” this exquisite piece of furniture😊. Alex, you should win awards for your film work here!!!🏆

[@michellejenkins5922]

Just a thought Billie, will Simon be showing his work on his cottage. I'm truly amazed how quickly Yannis has been able to help Simon. Love watching all the progress that's being achieved in such a short time.

[@gregfyn]

I don't know why; but I laughed my arse off when Ryan hopped on the pallet.....glad it didn't tip and he didn't get squished.

[@gailvandenberg546]

I enjoyed the choice of music for that section!

[@thomasherrin6798]

Yes, it wasn't the "safest" thing to do, keep well out of the way of heavy objects which can fall back on you!?!

[@littlemonkeyone]

I hope you clean behind the cabinet from the Louvre….. it looked like it has mold on the back. It will make you & your family sick. There is a spray you can but for removing mold. Definitely worth it.

[@Fionacollins50]

Hats off to Yannis, doing a sterling job!

[@stephaniegaromon3244]

Yannis throws himself into helping whatever needs to be done 200%. I’m glad you put that beautiful piece of furniture in your home. Good teamwork getting lots done!! Billy, great job bringing that safe into the chateau. xx

It’s very nice that Gwendoline has the cabinet in the Chateau and well done Yanis , you are a natural it seems and a very hard and efficient worker with Simon. Lovely to see cute little Archie again and wonderful to see Ricks smiling face back at work also. All looking good ! 👍

[@jdrew5367]

Billy so much going on at the convent and new projects. Very exciting! It great to see Rick’s smiling face. Thank you one and all for the update on the work going on in and around the convent!

Toss some mulch in those rose beds to keep down the weeds - you have a bunch of it from the chipper 😊👍🏼

[@EAP0804]

Billy, you bring such awesome people into your orbit. It’s never just a contractor here and there. They’re always people whom I’m sure feel enriched on many levels having done business with you. Simon’s expertise…wow! what a gift. I’m so happy for Yannis to be learning from such a pro. Yannis is an energetic and keen learner.

[@susanweaver7878]

Gwendoline is so beautiful she can have anything she wants. Nice to see her in the vlogs. xxxx

Yannis is a very enthusiastic worker ,so willing to help . He will learn a lot working at the convent.

[@lindabattles9094]

Love Ryan’s humor. He and Billy are a joy, and I find myself smiling and chuckling through the whole video.

What a hard worker Yannis is. Dug right in like he'd been doing it forever.

[@ehpeachylove]

Well done guys at the convent. Yannis is a hard working man, great job on the ceiling. Rick so happy to see your smiling face, good job on the garden work. Ryan and Billy you are both so fun to watch. Beautiful cabinet and glad it’s st the château. Much love to all.

[@staciamartin923]

Great Camera work Alex! I really like Simon And so glad Yannis has someone investing in him. The outside is staying tip top with Rick everything seems to be flowing along.

[@paulinedixon3490]

Archie is such a sweet little lad. He’s growing so fast. Gwendoline was right that furniture belongs in the chateau It’s beautiful.

[@SN-sz7kw]

It’s downright meditative watching a pro at work. Simon’s methodical work makes it look easy instead of overwhelming.

[@earlinenunn6013]

From the soundtrack to the magic of restoration,we adore this series! Thank-you💖 for sharing your journey.

Yannis is to be commended; for a person who has not done building work, he is a natural.

[@katariinavainio4828]

It's amazing how good footage and beautiful music makes tidious building work and renovating look almost sexy!

Did you know that Katie who is Bruneau's partner is a fantastic upholsterer ? She does some amazing stuff.

[@kencase2179]

Happy Tuesday, team! Simon, the ceiling is looking really good. Yannis, you’re such a hard worker. Does the construction trade interest you or do you just enjoy learning and doing new things? Billy, the cabinet from the Louvre is really nice. Gwen picked the right room for it. Looking forward to your apartment renovation. Alex, great work on the shots and music.

[@icandivideos5743]

The sequence with Ryan riding on the palette with the safe had me laughing thru the whole thing. Great job Alex! your scenes and music and capturing Billy and Ryan just being themselves is priceless 😊

[@pamkullman8839]

So much achieved today! The roses look beautiful!

[@paulinewantland2588]

It is great to see a young person who wants to learn a craft. You guys are doing a great job. I learn a lot too!

[@kandacehazard127]

Get Yannis a table/work surface. Work smart is a thing to teach too.

[@thomasherrin6798]

Yes, it would have helped a great deal, but as they are only in there for two days now they might as well build one in the next big room, it saves accidents like drilling into the concrete floor and stuff as well!?!

[@Sea-cucumber1151]

Little chapel on your property is amazing, all gorgeous!

[@CuriousCalligrapher]

Gorgeous bookcase Gwendolyn and Billy it looks amazing in the Chateau, lovely gift to your wife!

[@SuperShell33]

Yanis is one hellava work horse! And Ryan just cracks me up. He's carrying a heavy load into the chateau and still stops to wipe his feet lol! 😂 Gwendolyn has him well trained!😂

[@siameseire]

Welcome back, Rick!!!! I missed you and hoped you were tremendously well! Simon and Yannis, what hard work!!! Everyone, especially Simon's neck, deserves hot showers or soaky baths.

[@Smalfry47]

Alex…. Bravo! You are capturing the heart and bones of the convent. Seeing the hidden gems of what the nuns saw in their daily lives but through new eyes…… love it! I would love an updated video of the Château through your eyes….. Billy please!

[@kencase2179]

Great idea on seeing shots of the Château through Alex’s eyes.

[@jesschee5891]

What a great video, so good to see everything that goes on in a day with Billy and gang. Tea party with Archie, Gwendolyns excellent decision (cabinet looks fantastic there), hard work and fun!

[@patrickfrericks8867]

Billy, that display cabinet is amazing looking. That built in cabinet that's by where Simon was talking could look stunning painted in a matte black like the appliances, maybe all built-in cabinets can be matte black to tie all areas of the kitchen together. The convent is coming along so nice, I would love to buy an apartment in it, if you were to sell apartments in it. Great job and I'm loving the progress.

[@marytaylor9185]

I was wondering too. Can't believe you've managed to work on it along with all the other projects. It's in the corner by the looks of it. Ryan's place must be on the opposite corner. They both back into the courtyard? It will be beautiful like the other apartments in the "complex".

[@jimhirst]

Yannis is a real worker, i hope this trade is the future for him.
