We Flooded The Apartment

[@clarerobbins37]

Just finished dinner here in the UK. Said to hubby “Right I’m just going to see how Billy and Rick have got in today”. Who’s Billy and Rick? “Oh just some guys renovating an old convent in France”. Ok love 😂. Funny to think people all over the world all checking in, all with a common interest and admiration for you guys 🤗💪. There’s a hole in my bucket 😂😂

The water heater removal and bucket brigade sequence was something straight out of a Laurel and Hardy movie.

[@lauralake7430]

If you happen to empty another, maybe connect a garden hose to the hole in the bucket, and have the hose trail to the outside? I used to empty the hot water heaters in an apartment building to get the scale out for maintenance, and we did that, also used that set up for blocked sinks, etc. Course, your method was much more fun to watch!

[@irishgranny23]

Whatever you are paying Rick isn't enough. That man is worth his weight in gold.

[@bartonone2005]

Billy, you are quite strong but Rick is a "monster!" The two of you are the great team which defeated the recalcitrant water heater.

[@pinkelephants1421]

The opening shot of today's video amply demonstrates why the local community is so appreciative of the work you are doing to bring the Convent back into use. For decades they've had to go past what had effectively become an eyesore and a bit of a dump. Even if it were to never be occupied again but merely maintained at the level it is now, the Convent has become a visual asset to the local community and dare I say it, more than a little bit romantic. Who doesn't love the romance of an old stone building? Speaking of romance, when the time comes to turn your attention to garden restoration, (smelly) climbing roses in the courtyard would be just the ticket. The courtyard is such a sun trap & as the stone walls would effectively act as giant night storage radiators, on a summer's evening, they would accentuate the fragrance of any highly scented climbing roses you may plant. There's quite a few French climbing roses that are highly scented, both single & double flowered varieties. The colour against the stonework would be absolutely amazing & you may like to also consider some clematis to extend the flowering season. Clematis flowering season ranges from late winter to late autumn depending on variety & grouping (1, 2, or 3). Some clematis will flower once in Spring & again in Autumn. I don't know if it's the same in France as in the UK, but we have widespread access to cheap garden plants in packets or boxes from discount stores & supermarkets. If a person is new to gardening or not sure what they want, it's an excellent way to get started without blowing the budget. I'm a fairly knowledgeable amateur gardener but even (I) regularly make good use of discount store plants & have had ~98% success rate over the last 20yrs. Have a go & have fun. General rule of thumb: unless absolutely necessary, DON'T buy the biggest plant in the nursery. Plants will establish far better if they can be given time to adapt to the soil they're going to spend the rest of their lives in. So if it's got a good root system, don't worry to much about the top growth.

[@janepost150]

Mix one-third cup fabric softener with two-thirds add a cup of white household vinegar to a bucket of hot water. Thoroughly score the wallpaper. Wet the wallpaper thoroughly, and let stand until it can be peeled away. The fabric softener will soften the paper and the vinegar should help to dissolve the paste. It did work for us but we had to make sure the wall was really wet so put a tarp or something down on the floor. Hope this helps you.

[@GrannyV29]

You guys are so funny. Rick's grin when you discovered the hole in the bucket was priceless.

Dare I say it' s rather surprising to have testosterone and cuteness overload in one episode, induced by same protagonists? That steely glove melts into Rick's tattoo sleeve creating artsy Terminator vibes. Sadie and Mo have great wallpaper remover solution. XO

Won’t be long and you’ll have 500k then a million subscribers following along on these renovations, restorations and reimaginations. 🦃 🍁

[@lornatowler7968]

A painter told me to use a paint roller and roll water on the wallpaper. Make it wet. It works much better than a steamer.

[@dlsdyer9071]

Agreed. As a fellow American, you understand the fascination with renovating a very old building as we are a younger country and think that built in the Victorian era is real old, lol.

Reboarding would be much easier than stripping the wall paper

Billy I have a suggestion about the walled garden. As you are going to have tenets in the convent, Why not set aside a portion of the walled garden for an allotment type space for the tenets to grow their own produce.

[@mmwhitede]

Wallpaper removal - I have “scratched/scored” the wallpaper and sprayed on a solution called DIF. It breaks down the glue. Then removal is a cinch. Observation - safety glasses like the style Shawn wears might be a good idea….good progress!!

[@gloriaa.cochrane1777]

Really enjoy watching Rick paint. He looks like he is totally in the zone, and he does it so carefully, so well. With my ADHD I always manage to get paint everywhere;' and when I'm done I always forget the cleaning up part for about a week or two. Sigh. But I love watching Rick. I could watch him paint for hours on end.

[@april5666]

Rick not only has the best smile, he has a good brain too :) Where was Rick or the tape, at least, when that little boy stuck his finger in the dam in Holland -- lol. I think you'll be reboarding/plaster-boarding that wall -- too crazy taking days to get the wall paper off -- well done, all of you :)

[@mavep2855]

Someone, aka Ryan is doing a great job filming and editing Billy’s vlogs👏👏👏. Billy you make it all look like child’s play and together with Rick it is just plain fun. Thanks guys🙏🏻❤️

[@guillermodelnoche]

Tell Rick a skim coat of plaster will cover the wallpaper and smooth the wall. In our Chateau there were too many layers of wallpaper to contend with and the skim coat went fast giving me a great surface to paint. Cheers!

Wallpaper removal. Use a sponge and a pail of warm water. Add 1/2 cup of liquid fabric softener and wipe the wallpaper down. The fabric softener will soften the adhesive.

[@foretb1162]

What an adventure! It reminds me of the one I had a week after moving into our new house - a post-war home - and discovered that the concrete foundation was made of concrete and filler (whatever could be found in the area: small stones, bits of broken crockery, old plates, screws and nails, branches and pieces of wood). After 3 days of continuous full on - sheets of rain, I could hear a trickle of water but couldn't see where it was! Then it seemed within an hour, I had a soaked carpet! Like when walking on it, it spewed a ripple of water! Finding the entry point took only a few minutes once I removed the paneling. What I found was a 1 inch wide pipe that had been plugged with small stones - which were at the bottom of the wall, against the wooden stud - 'twas the old oil furnace fuel entry pipe - no insulation, no vapor barrier either. And water gushing out of the pipe. The paneling's back was soaked and a total loss. It took myself and my then 12 year old son over 10 hours of hard work and a wet-vac to soak up the wetness. We couldn't plug the pipe until the rain stopped! Every time we tried to plug it with hydraulic cement, the rain would push the plug out and we'd have water gushing in again. My son suggested we fit in a tap and turn it off but it being the middle of the night and no store opened in the area and the fact that I wasn't a plumber, that wasn't an option. We eventually discovered that the concrete patio at the back of the house was the culprit as it was pressing against the pipe and water, that great carver of nature, had made its way into the pipe by disintegrating its wooden plug. Once the pipe cut at the foundation, the hole properly plugged with cement and the outside foundation waterproofed with membrane, the issue has never arisen again. But I can say that you guys had it easy.....only 250 gallons. Once the rain stopped, an insurance estimator said that we sucked and emptied about 500 gallons in 6 hours as my son counted the amount of times he emptied the 5 gallon buckets outside. Doing the math that was 675 gallons in 8 hours. At least you only got a small shower!

[@jasoncampagna8052]

There is a product called Gorilla Tape. It is like extra strength duct tape. If you heavily score the walls, heavily, steam, let dry and then apply the Gorilla tape and press it down real good, it will bond. After a day, when you rip it off, it will pull the paper. This is for the toughest jobs, but i have done entire houses this way.

[@helenpang2970]

I love seeing Billy providing the leadership for his great team. Being able to find humour in the hard labour is awesome.

[@lizstevenson7801]

I suppose everyone working at the Convent was singing 'there's a hole in my bucket' and having a great laugh. It would be easier to remove the old boards and replace rather than spend time trying to remove the old wallpaper, at least you get a chance to see the condition behind them and insulate plus less costly in the end. It's a laugh a minute with you Rick and Ryan filming, great team. Well done all 💕🇦🇺

[@pamelkamah6307]

Great job 👍 You could have sang along “ there’s a hole in my bucket dear Rick, dear Rick” 😂

Rick you are a rock star of a helper. So glad you are there helping Billy.

[@haroldclark4485]

Love you guys and we watch all your movies. Wallpaper tip - when steamers don't work (they really never do unless there are multiple coats of paper). Instead you can prime the wallpaper, sand rough edges, patch and paint. Painted wallpaper always looks better than gouged up drywall, especially one coat of really tight paper that you have there. If any of it blisters just wait and they will disappear. If not scrape and patch.

[@barbaramcguire7994]

RE: Wallpapered walls...just cover with the thinnest wallboard you can get in France (I think he used 1/4" thick board)...We had to do that in a bathroom ceiling that had a weird ultra-adhesive on walls and the 30 yr old "popcorn" ceiling soundproofing treatment . Guy was done with both sets of surfaces in about 2 days ,vs. "Weeks"...Saved us a ton of money on his labor! Good luck! Oklahoma, USA

[@shilohwoods4516]

Is that you, Ryan editing these videos? Amazing work. A real talent. I agree-remove the wall board ("drywall" or "greenboard" if it is used in wet areas, as we say in the US) or else you will spend a solid month stripping wall paper and producing areas that just need to be cut out because the wall paper destroyed the wall board. Count your losses and move on with new walls. It is looking beautiful guys. Breathing a new life into the convent.

Fabric softener on the wall paper works well. Put it in a spray bottle then scrap it off.

[@lajohnson1967]

It looks like they wallpapered straight over the wallboard without painting it first. This adheres paper to paper, which is basically impossible to remove. If the wallpaper is on a painted wall, start at the top and and wet the paper with a spray bottle of warm water. Work a small area at a time moving down the wall. The water will run the down the wall making the paper on the lower half of the wall easier to remove as you go down the wall.

When I renovated my old house they had wallpaper everywhere. Scoring and steamer is good for plaster but the wallboard sucks. I used an angle blade to slowly peel it off. It was a foot long handle with a 4" blade on the end we picked up from the store. You have to be really careful not to gouge the wallboard though so slow and steady won the race

[@triciasklodowske5653]

There is a tool for scoring the paper. It makes tons of little holes in it then use HOT vinegar, it will loosen up the "glue" behind the wallpaper for easier removal. But with plaster board it may just be easier to remove it or cover it. Good luck with it. Thanks for sharing. God bless.

[@anacrix]

It’s nice to ser the renovations cracking on. Just a thought, do not plaster over the door lintel but put in a transom window with frosted glass. It would let so much more light in into the apartment which is bound to be kind of dark as it’s the ground floor.

[@christinewilkinson3772]

I’ve picked off a lot of wallpaper, what I’ve found with the stubborn stuff is I use a spray bottle and wet a large section and let it sit for 20 minutes (you’ll have to score that laminated stuff). If you time it right, while your scraping off 20 minutes is passing on the wet stuff. This is still tedious. I use a 3 inch dull putty knife to scrape, doesn’t dig in as much. If you can board over it, I would.

[@sibyllegraviett8062]

Try warm after with some fa bric softener in it. Apply, then wait a few minutes utes to let it soften. It should come off in one piece. Always worked for me and it also made it smell nice. 👍🙂

[@p.a.reysen3185]

Sounds like there is a need for a fumigation for woodworms in the entire Apartment complex. Much of the artistic woodworks have been lost to these scourges. There is so much old hidden wood that needs to be treated that will never be exposed by spraying. 2-3 days of not using the areas just might save years of having to do piece mill treatment.

[@butwereallsombdyspecial]

I love that wallpaper, lol - if it's old, I love it-the restoration of a beautiful thing. Remodeling is different, and, more times than not, the building won't cooperate on many tasks unless it's being brought back to its original state. Funny these historic grand art forms. It seems to me it's as if they are alive in their way. The walls hold all the memories. It is so important as you are so blessed that this building picked you for the job.
