Love the q + a session. It is good to hear that the locals are getting interested in the renovations. It must be a relief to them to see the convent coming back to its' former glory. Maybe one day you could have an open day of sorts, or if not, guided tours for certain local individuals. Their reactions would be interesting.

You could see the shape of a person opening the door. It would be amazing if it was the Mother Superior coming the see all the great work 😊 but yeah, definitely a ghost. Funny, I did wonder when you'd catch a spirit on your CCTV. You'd already mentioned a few strange happenings around the place. That place Ryan was interested in now, that looked like it was absolutely walking with spirits. I wouldn't have been mad about it. Low price? Always a reason for that. I've been there lol, and it's not always about the physical work involved in the renovation. You guys are 100% top favourite part of my day, all of you. Sending love and best wishes, from Ireland! 💚☘

Hi billy , love everything you do …..had a thought…..why don’t you turn the courtyard into an antiques fair event space, get the town involved -Christmas stalls, you could even convert a part of the convent as your own shop /broquant space-maybe the chapel as it’s already lit? You then have an income and somewhere to recycle your purchases!

The new courtyard is now visible on Google Street view! Is parking in front of the convent a problem? It seems very full of cars. Is there a local garden center? That could be a nice use for the greenhouse and garden to house a small garden center. Maybe if there are local scouts they could run it to make money for the scouts camping trips and such. Our local group has done gardening work to make money before.

Billy a question, but not related to this Q&A. Daphne and Ian at the channel The Beau Chateau have recently began researching and uncovering their historic formal gardens. A thought occurred to me about whether there‘s a possibility drawings of their Chateau and gardens might be featured in the amazing book you showed us recently? It’s perhaps a remote possibility, but if it were there I’m sure they’d be really grateful to know.....

Wondering if France has industrial or commercial tools available for sale in your area. Love watching your progress, I do however get frustrated in watching a whole room getting painted with a small brush. I am wondering if there are any industrial tools like larger paint rollers, wider drywall tools or tools that would make things quicker
@bryanspindle44552 жыл бұрын
I agree about the painting tools as someone who has done carpentry and painting for over forty years. I never saw anyone paint a large wall with a small brush. Don't get me wrong, l am a very detail oriented person so l am not saying the quality of work should be sacrificed for speed. With the right quality tools you can achieve both.
