We Discovered Who Built Our Library

[@Flippin_Crazy]

Your little boy is sooo sweet. He thought he hurt his Daddy and said Sorry. Melted my heart 💜

[@lundworks9901]

I have experienced the jackhammer jump up into my jaw from my then children, at a checkout counter as his leverage that nearly knocked me out cold.

[@damealeta3541]

Love seeing Ernest "helping" dad with constructions. Billy's a great dad in helping Ernest find things to play with. Great family dynamic there with 3 generations working together.

[@charmainemangiagalli]

Billy those prints of the library would look stunning in picture frames around the library.

[@TreasureDeal]

Excellent idea!!

[@LaurieLeeAnnie]

Could we get more interviews of everyone? I bet your Mom and Dad have some great stories to tell!

[@196hendrik]

And Gwen!!

[@laurastrom9857]

Would love that.

[@claudiayamada8377]

Ernest is the cutest apprentice I have ever seen!! He will be invaluable to the success of the Convent. He will have a vested interest because he worked there!! I started helping my father build our house when I was 2 years old. I was his best helper for years. I fetched his tools. My mother caught me up a ladder and on the roof when I was 5. 😊

[@teamum7729]

The window seat idea is absolutely PERFECT! In addition, drapes as situated in the photo you received would add atmosphere and warmth not to to mention sound attenuation to a large room.

[@Robin-xr2tz]

You’re so right. I liked the idea too!

[@gwenlillianlondon3772]

I'm not keen on the window seat idea because I don't it fits the era, but that's just me. I think small tables or a nice chair took up those spaces.

[@JayDubbluu]

I always love shutters halfway up a window - privacy AND light at the same time!

[@julisign]

What a well-behaved, attentive, and sweet boy Ernest is! It's fun when he's on the show. He's darling in his hardhat.

[@bonnienichalson5151]

Window seats are a part of a Dream Libary MOST DEFINITELY! 😊

[@nicolehand]

Your son’s reaction to the audio recordings was PRICELESS. You’ve set him on his path to becoming a ghost hunter! 👍

[@Happy-uy5wc]

I like the idea of making a window seat/bench under each window in the library so that there is a place to sit and read. 😊

[@mreed71]

Ernest is precious.

[@CarolLoch-ww7po]

I think it's your owl xx

[@SarHje]

And I think it’s combination of birds, mice and bats in the attic

[@MrSandmanBerlin]

That was exactly my thought as well: the clumsy young owl from a previous video.

[@busterdee8228]

Bonk!

[@ina-lumuresan8321]

Crow or raven maybe?

[@Mark_773]

The tablet was close to where the pipes go into the attic. If there is a gap you could hear a louder sound

[@annt8203]

"Unlike most owls, Barn Owls don't engage in mellow nighttime “hooting;” they pierce the darkness with long, harsh screeches."

[@bramone]

Oh yeah, it kinda sounds like a Barn owl if it was very close

[@maryannsarkady7950]

Ernest working with his dad and grandad, this is a memory he will never forget !

[@carlatkins4479]

Yanis has truly come into his own! And his English is getting far better than my French! Bravo, Yanis.

[@janetd4862]

My husband was a custom cabinet maker, and also did remodeling. When we built an addition on our own house, he hand picked all the 2x4 lumber. It was tedious, but we didn’t want wonky walls in our kitchen!

[@sonjasanderson3732]

About 30 years ago bet Billy and his dad looked just like Billy and Ernest when they carried in the long piece of wood. 😊

[@kathrynwitte3398]

I’m thinking closer to 40 years ago.

[@JamieArcangel]

Ernest is getting so tall !!❤❤

[@Nlingenfel]

Hello Ernest, you will have great reminders of all of your family. That is truly a blessing, beyond anything.

[@jessicabrewer8616]

Love getting to see Ernest on the channel. Billy’s mini me in training. Such a sweet kid.

[@loro3849]

The organ and now the library. Billy does love a challenge, a puzzle, a really big job.

[@jennifercampbell7698]

I particularly enjoyed today’s video with Ernest, Mick and Yanis diligently working on their projects while Billy continued on the library. It was fascinating to watch Billy’s thought processes with the library pieces and their layout and his explanations of how everything worked. And the continuing recordings are intriguing and I look forward to more. I loved seeing more of Ernest. He’s growing up. I find his hint of a French accent so cute! By the way I think Mick and Yanis need to wear safety glasses especially demolishing over their heads. Eyes are precious.

[@Julz721]

I love the idea of the window seats

[@flannelandlace]

I love seeing what the voice recorder shows each morning. Really fascinating!! I also love the progress on the convent. It's going to be spectacular. The kitchen is stunning. Have a wonderful weekend Petherick family!!

[@mmgwife]

Simon returning is a great birthday present for me. My birthday is this next Wednesday the 17th of July. I am excited to see his reaction to all the work that has been done while he was away.

[@brittawrolson5936]

Happy Birthday!🎂🎁🥳 I am also looking forward to seeing Simon again!

[@theresag8913]

I think you should name the bedroom suites after the people who helped restore the convent. I know that they are paid workers mostly but their dedication and passion to doing things well will bring years of enjoyment to the people who visit.

[@bherylkuebler986]

I'm really impressed by the Quality of the work being done. Watching Simon plaster is mesmerizing. ❤

[@saudilass]

The recording in the basement will be really interesting, it shouldn't have the noise pollution from the road and the town that the upstairs rooms have, really enjoying the audio playbacks 😊

[@lawrencebacchetta6979]

You're absolutely right Billy, the structural integrity of the walls you are creating with the timbers you're using, definitely cannot be denied. Brilliant 🛠️

[@MildredClareDonlan]

Ernest is certainly well behaved and helpful.

[@sharonadams270]

I love seeing Ernest working with Daddy. Ernest is so cute.

[@cindyz3342]

Ernest has gotten so grown up and he’s absolutely the best ☺️

[@donnagagne3813]

My first thought was what Ernest said; It's coming from upstairs. At least some of it anyhow.. This is fun Billy.

[@gioiapharo7433]

Ernest has new job trainer for Alex's dog Leala! Well Done Earnest! Sounds like your owl - it likes it there.

[@ronaldhorton2438]

Love seeing Ernest "working " with dad. Layla has a friend. Sweet dog. Thank you. ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉😊

[@Moonbatcrazy]

The sound that may be a bird or maybe not… should be a local Bird watcher society They could help determine if that’s any kind of known bird that lives in that area within 100 miles of that area. Or Not !! at least it will help eliminate one possible answer to the sound that was recorded.

[@OleTeddy]

Billy Its a Crow running around abowe and the noise is the birds cry out lout Im 90% sure you have a Crow in the attic 👍👍👍

[@Flippin_Crazy]

Except crows sleep/roost at night.

[@OleTeddy]

@@Flippin_Crazy yeah but not if they get into the attic and cant find the Way out again they kind of panicking

[@joysticksnjukeboxes]

The sound could easily be right outside that window, like that owl they found recently.

If it was a stuck bird they would have more noises

[@sunnyndelaware6159]

Billy, solve the mystery with your motion detecting camera!! When Ernest said a monster.....Little boys and their monsters...lol

[@Garden366]

I agree! If there are birds, it will help to see the room to better determine what the noises are and where/what they are coming from. The screeching doesn’t sound like an owl. Although owls do screech they don’t normally sound like that. I would be very interested to see what in the world is actually making those screeching and scratching sounds!

[@tessfui03]

As people living in KC, we welcome you to Chiefs Kingdom, Yanis! We screamed when you came on the screen wearing that Chiefs shirt, first Billy and now Yanis! Love it, love the channel ❤️

[@wethenorth6437]

You've just got to love Earnest who's so sweet and innocent bless his heart he's a fine little young man who'll be able to watch this when he's much older and have a chuckle lol

[@sabrinaqualley5743]

It would be interesting to record overnight, outside one of the windows (or with a window open), to see if the sounds are more clear (therefore coming from the outside) or less clear (sounds more likely from the inside. I do think the owls are the most likely source. At my own house, the larger birds (crows, etc) walking on the roof sound a lot like people walking up there.

[@rosemariedeschenes7013]

Agree with the suggestion of framing those prints for the library. Love seeing Ernest helping out and those night recordings are a “hoot” 😂😂😂😂😂

[@sonjasanderson3732]

I love that Billy loves wood.

I love the window seat idea with oversized cushions to sit and read or relax or talk❤❤❤. The desk in the library photo that you are holding is super cool!

[@wendysinclair-smith984]

The proposed bench front you used, it looks like one of those surround boards would fit as a baseboard. Then more surround board could be put up the sides to fill in the space next to the wall. And perhaps make the window seats storage spots as well.

[@MrsPink64]

Cutest apprentice yet! Great to see him 2x this week. 💕

[@marcia8382]

I think you need to get a partner, maybe Ryan or Yanis, and stay in that room overnight. You would have to be very quiet, which would be fun for us to watch as you try!

[@franuhaly7006]

Billy and Ryan together you think they’re going to be quiet that is not gonna happen. They have too much fun together and that Ryan loves to laugh.😅

When I was a little girl, my step father allowed me to follow him doing his various jobs around the house. It was such a happy time for me and I learned a great deal. He was patient and kind with my chatter box self…. I’ve ALWAYS been so grateful! One of my VERY BEST childhood memories! I was delighted to see your son on sight at the convent. Be conscious of the memories you (your father also) are making for him. He will remember and cherish those memories for a lifetime😊

[@thewanderingponderer]

Hi Billy it is most likely the common barn owl, they have variations of that sound all mean different things. They do not hoot. I am 90% certain that is what it is. They nest in barns, empty buildings and your attic is quite a possibility. 😊

We had a pair of ravens (huge birds) that somehow managed to get into the roof of our cabin. They play with things at night that they’ve collected during the day. It was very scary until we finally found them one night.

Ravens are also incredible mimics, they can talk a bit like parrots do.

I feel you about the wonky wood. It takes me several trips to different lumber yards to find nice, straight 2x4's whenever I do a project. It's maddening.

[@BrandoMonium2]

For probably $50 USD you can just get a trail camera that has night vision and is motion activated.

[@mommatanya1]

So, the taller panel that will be under the window, you said you might recess it back a bit. But if you leave it out, then make a top of tempered glass and have a recessed display shelf under the glass for some of the artifacts that you have discovered and/or dug up on the grounds or inside. That would be a nice feature in the library.

Billy, those sounds are definitely not the building setteling. Those sounds are like either someone walking around or it was like funiture being moved. Definitely you need to run them through a program that can separate each sound into individual frquencies and also to slow them down.

[@kaye-q1k]

The noise recordings are facinating. Yannis and Mick are really going to town demoing the hallway.

[@teamum7729]

Have you considered any audio visual needs for the library. The bookcase/cupboards may accommodate screens and other audio equipment. This would be especially important if you’re considering the library as a retreat/meeting space. You would need a consultant in this area.

[@dudeorduuude5211]

Nice idea.

[@arlenecearns1866]

I half expected a squeaky little voice at the end “uh, could you just come back with that light for a minute, please?” It was DARK in there.

[@Sarah-xn5gr]

If interested I have a suggestion. The light up cat toy ball or what paranormal investigators use. Where it only lights up if it has been touched or moved. I use them & find them very effective. You will need a camera on it to. Just a thought, idea & suggestion to you 👍

[@terryk_]

8:06 that was furniture being moved around the room. That shreak sounds like a racoon or a fox what ever it is is not a happy camper. 6 am sounds like a door opening or closing and more furniture moving around. Do you know about the baby powder trick to put around to see if you get slide marks or foot prints.

I slowed it down and the owl sound sounded more like a thin metal sheet being waved like a "boing" noise. If that makes sense. The keys sounded like chains rattling. (You can go to settings and change the playback speed)

Yes! Window seats would be lovely!

[@marymcandrew7667]

My thoughts on the sounds recorded, it definitely sounds like the noise a bird would make with its feet. The owl you found in the drain pipe is called a "Little Owl" and they go after small things like bugs, lizards etc. Maybe it was in the gutters again outside, and with everything else being so quiet, the device may have picked it up? Btw lots of birds like to poke around in gutters for bugs hiding in old leaf litter. Billy I'm amazed at the speed your bringing the library into shape. Now that you showed the photo, I understand about the bookcases being flush with the walls.

[@chriss-nf1bd]

There are tools for twisted studs. But I like using a pipe wrench to twist the wood back straight while I am nailing or screwing it in place. In the US the warped or twisted studs are seconds. Often can get them at up to 50% less price. Up to 90% if they are very badly warped or twisted. As you can always use it as noggins. Creating a pipe steamer you can also straighten wood with heating them and heavy weights to flatten them.

The library is really looking great! Your vision to see what a space could look like is amazing Billy. I like the idea of window seats . Where I grew up we had a very small old stone library building, it’s now the historical society building. I remember it had window seats and as a child I fit in them perfectly and loved reading a book there. It would be nice for your children to have books there ( some classics ) at there height so they could reach them and sit in the window seat. Don’t laugh but my husband and I have been renovating our 1940’s beach house, we have a small room that we are making into a little library sitting area ,it’s quite a challenge designing and fitting the book cases into such a small space. So I find your videos on the library very inspiring. Love seeing your family’s three generations working together.
