Don't forget that when it comes to those tunnels under the chateaux if it comes down to using a pump, you might also want to get a sewerage tank pumps, to be extra careful with gases and such down there when going down to explore. I know it's common knowledge, but it amazes me that people get excited and reckless and climb down into those places, and end up unconscious and dead before they even realise something was ever wrong.

[@chaolan77]

Oak Island kids going down to save their father and dying too is a tragic example

[@macgyvervanschwartzenstall4662]

I came to say the same thing. There are various gases that can be a problem besides carbon monoxide (CO)...hydrogen sulfide (H2S), ammonia (NH3), methane (CH4)...that can be either toxic or that can displace enough oxygen to result in hypoxia.

[@mjecheverria4197]

The week was very long Billy..yes for Sunday nights at the convent!❤😊

[@valerierosling3968]

Earnest looks so like his mummy. I miss the daily's but this was a good one. I hope the cat hasn't been locked in the attic or basement. Keep us updated.

[@TR-rz1xt]

It's probably sleeping off the pigeon somewhere 🤣

[@lieuwina]

Ernest was so serious when Billy asked him 'if he could drive the vehicle?' and he says 'no I am not big enough', how cute was that. Was so nice to see Billy and Ernest having a daddy and son time together. That was exciting finding the man hole cover to the Tunnel . Can not wait for the summer till you can investigate, I only hope the previous owners did not run the toilets into the tunnel. Another lovely video and can not wait for next weeks. Have a great week Billy and family.

[@JP-NL]

What I would give to be a kid again sitting on my dad’s lap on the tractor. I will never forget the joy I got from those experiences.

[@lhmcd5538]

Oh this finding of the tunnel could make things very interesting. It looked very smelly. You are sensible to check where the sewer goes. You could have another issue. I wouldn’t just pump it out until you know what the watery fluid is. Great find though. Good luck with the catching. That new machine is massive and it looks as if Phil did a great job on it. Hats look great. Go Steve and Sean. Great work. Thank you. May you all please take care and stay safe. Louisa.👏👏👏❤❤❤🤩🤩🤩

[@brittawrolson5936]

After all the digging Michael and Florian did, they must be annoyed that you located it so quickly! The beauty of technology can be a great help! Exciting regardless. As you said, it will be something you can investigate during drier times👍🏻

[@lauralake7430]

Michael and Florian had just found the places it was not, therefore finding the way!

[@karenlam2988]

Oh it is so lovely to see you again. Have missed you SO much!

[@hughgibson9913]

You’re not weird with no life.

[@maryannsarkady7950]

Ernest is getting so big, the convent is looking wonderful !

[@pamabernathy8728]

I MISSED YOU ALL, DURING THE WEEK! And I've only just started watching but had to tell you that I have unexpected, actual tears of PURE JOY, hearing Billy's voice doing the intro, with the beautiful intro part of the video. 💕 to all from an auld lady in Southern California, USA.

[@hughgibson9913]

You’re not weird at all.

[@waldemarsikorski4759]

@@hughgibson9913 But you are.

[@nancycowan6109]

Geez.

[@LakesideGazer]

It's definitely cool seeing the kids involved in helping dad. Use one of your battery packs, suspend an effluent pump down the hole and let it run a few hours and see how low the water level drops. Probably need to do that anyway to explore the tunnels. The effluent pump should be able to handle some soft dirt, as opposed to a sump pump which will clog. Or, go hog wild and rent a gas motorized pump and see where you get. Edit: as you said, it may have been repurposed as a septic tank or cesspit, so be careful. The black stuff near the bottom may be decomposing... well... you know. If you're not attached to city sewer or have a known tank, it's gotta be going somewhere. In the US, we'd install a septic tank and a drainfield to let the septic tank water soak in to the soil, but who knows what happened there.

[@rangefreewords]

Although, calling up a septic truck to pump it all out might help them out more.

[@contempl8ive]

I agree, get pumping! If it’s a septic receptacle now, maybe it wouldn’t hurt! Or if you have any kind of slope maybe you can get some gravity flow syphoning happening. The nitrogen could be good for the grass 😅

[@kathy7718]

Love it!! Toys, cats, work, metal detecting and eureka, a tunnel! The little boys were an added bonus!❤️❤️

[@lorispencer2046]

Your boys are getting so big. They are adorable. It would be awesome if you could add a tour of the homes on your property that we haven't seen. Please also let Sadie know that we miss her.

[@lotusdolphin]

Great video, Billy! I love the boys towards the end. And I also love seeing you and Sean outside enjoying a beer. You’re really making huge strides on the kitchen. Love seeing that. 💜🤟🏻🤗🦔🇺🇸

[@blakehahn-atlantaga8510]

That’s awesome! Love seeing the aerial shots of the chateau and looking for the tunnel. Ernest is such an adorable little boy. Your property is truly gorgeous.

[@peterkrahl786]

Good episode. I felt like a junkie finally getting a fix. Never realized how much I missed everyone.😃

[@amandamcmurray7106]

Been waiting patiently all week for this, super excited

[@doriskovalcik442]

I do miss the daily videos but this is better for seeing the progress you are making at the convent. Interesting about the tunnel but it would be great if you found one that was open and could be explored. Who knows whats around to be found! Thanks for sharing and hope you have a great week.

[@annettewalter2273]

Lovely to see the boys. They are growing up so quickly. That tunnel is intriguing

[@lynnbee9384]

Always a new discovery at the chateau and convent to uncover. Look forward to next week.

[@MSSC73]

Excellent that you found that access point. See if you can get a water testing kit to find out if there is human waste or any harmful bacteria, etc in the water. Ladt thing you want is to get sick when you explore, plus itll give you a better idea if the plumbing was hooked up to it or not. Fun times!

[@lorassorkin]

I'd missed your beautiful drone shots of the countryside. Lovely to have those back in long form videos again.

[@patriciablair7878]

The horse was curious loved this have a great week petherick crew ❤.

[@meganhall1306]

Love seeing Archie and Ernest xxx💕💕

[@lizstevenson7801]

I enjoyed watching this, it was a bit of everything. The Cinvent kitchen is looking good, I hope you find the missing cat. Lovely to see the children again, Ernest is growing up so quickly. Great find now you and Michael have another thing to add to your summer 'To do' list. Well done everyone 💕🇦🇺

[@denisemastromina7821]

My Ernest has grown so much, he was so serious about the tractor 😊😊😊

[@AndreatheDoria]

Fun vlog! Thanks! The Progress Sean And Steve have made is fantastic! Can’t wait to see the tunnel adventures! We’ve caught a few cats that have escaped or needed to be homed, so As for Dear Prince Kitty there. Try the trap again but cover it with a box, cats love boxes or dens even with the sent of his human like a blanket. Then try to make it smell less new, rubbing it in the dirt. As for bait try a nice smelly can of sardines they work best or some fresh chicken considering he’s loving fresh squab. I wish you much luck getting kitty. It sounds as though he’s being a bit wild and will be a handful when he’s back home.

[@YolaWells]

Enjoyed all you have shown us lovely to see a bit of your home with the boys it won't be long when we get to see earnest helping you all with renovations best way to learn on the shop floor so his first job will be making good cuppa x

[@julieholcombe7422]

Loved seeing your boys. Ernest so cute saying hes not big enough to drive your new toy😂 I really liked this vlog with the various subjects and locations although I do miss the daily ones too. Im not sure you found "the" tunnel but you did find something...like a drain off.

[@Hellyers]

Very full vlog, so many good parts. Gotta love Ernest saying he's not big enough to drive the tele handler.

[@djray1031]

I ve missed your updates since Monday Billy, but enjoyed todays vlog thank you, see ya next Sunday

[@triciasklodowske5653]

Pump it out so you can see inside. The kitchen is looking so modern but nice and clean. Miss the daily video's. I know they take alot of time to do. God bless.

[@christinaplaisted9563]

Thankyou for another brilliant video, Those two boys of yours are gorgeous, Love the way Ernest said he's not big enough yet ,Definitely lots going on. Hey Billy could you have struck oil 🤔🙂, Hope prince Harfy is found soon , preferably alive 😃

[@karenbarclay9495]

Really enjoyed tonight’s video. I think the content in the weekly vlog is going to be terrific and well worth waiting for! So nice to see your boys too 😀

[@collaborationofcuriosities]

Gday from Australia! WOW the time taken on editing is really showing mate I love the intro! Sad not to have daily vlogs but understand its necessary to step it up a gear and get things done around the Convent! Love the results!

[@myriammoquin2684]

I think I prefer this format of weekly videos ...more to enjoy. I suggest baiting the cat trap with something smellier like a packet of sardine wet food for cats.

[@sheilarigge1261]

I adore your sons! They are precious!

[@dorothystorry1733]

Fantastic video Billy… a bit of everything in your life. It’s wonderful to see your children as well..😊

[@jacquelinenoble6640]

Really enjoyed this one. It was worth the wait. Thanks Billy 😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@sallykeen3791]

Good progress in the kitchen and now you can reach the top of both building now we need to wait to see the tunnel

[@suechapman8580]

I do miss the daily video's but the content that you have shared with us is brilliant. The kitchen is coming along quite quickly now. Hope you find the cat. Have a good week. 😊

[@kenbearsley8322]

That tunnel. Like you said, it was possibly the 'sewage' tunnel from back in the day they had no flushing toilets and no septic tanks. Would be interesting to see where it starts from and where it goes to.

[@jackiestewart5062]

Such wonderful life experiences your beautiful kids are getting to experience.

[@taniadevilliers348]

Your neat and organized work sites are a pleasure to see. Good for Prince Harry, keeping to things organic! 😊

[@georgiaa8896]

loved this vid...lots of variety. Re: Puss Cat...try the trap again only cover the trap with a box or a blanket... Really enjoyed your return to weekly...ticking all the boxes 😊

[@kimhaughton3771]

I love the intro where you take a slow glide through that infamous haunting hallway! 😂 Sorry you weren't able to catch the cat but with all the pigeons there it must think it's found the mother load!!! 😆

[@albertpeckham8708]

You're insulating the kitchen so well that you could almost heat it with a couple of candles!

[@jeffrobodine8579]

Soon candles will be the only heat source people can afford. 😄

[@lizzymoore54]

Use a water pump and hose to remove the water then dig out the muck to discover what’s hidden below. I would NOT pump the water out into the field ( including the muck ) until it’s tested for contaminates. Oh and Billy and Michael, please cut off the electricity to the fence while working. You’ll have to use another field for your beautiful and inquisitive horses though. 😊

[@judyhollmer2584]

Good luck and Prayers sent on catching Prince Harry. I know what it's like to lose a fur baby. I finally trapped my cat after she survived in 2 hard Canadian winters and was living in the bush for 19 months. Use a can of tuna for bait. Nice elevator lift for the chateau. Ernest will be driving that in no time. He has really grown into a very bright Lad. The tunnel will be interesting once it dries up a bit. Good job on the Convent as well.

[@Jasonmarcnash787]

Thankyou for sharing another wonderful vlog always inspirational and a joy to watch 👍👍

[@annettesharrock1236]

Earnest has grown now. Well done Sean and Steve for the help of the renovation. What a find I wonder if it will dry out by summer as like you said the previous owner did some pipe works, Fingers crossed that it does. Billy you have a another new toy again to add to your collection😂. Crack On see next Sunday

[@sheilarigge1261]

Awesome video! Great finds, lots of crazy banter and loved seeing your little kiddos! Have a good week!

[@robertarogers998]

Sure enjoyed the vlog. Love seeing Ernest's joy in working with his Dad! Can't wait to see the vlog where the tunnel is accessible. Great idea with the metal detector.

[@amysboxachocolates4069]

Lol! Loved the wanted poster of the cat! Also love the discoveries made at the Chateau! Very interesting indeed.

[@karendaniel8149]

I actually like the weekly videos better. I had gotten to the point that I would check daily or every other day to catch up - and then after watching the dailies, would fall into the rabbit hole of KZbin. I was wasting sooo much time! I'm also glad you are getting better quality time with your lovely family 💕

[@myrnamcmillan4755]

Great content Billy good to see Michael.😊

[@mariconangonzalez3148]

Billy you may want to buy a Water Pump to remove the water from the Tunnel it could be something you may want to consider having too. Lots of love from Florida

[@gingerschatshow]

Billy- I hope Prince Harry is back home soon with his Pet mom. Also be sure to secure a barrier so the horses won't fall and break a leg. Your Convent project is making progress. Way to go !

[@girlnorthof60]

Excellent. Driving the new Zoom Boom & metal detecting the field reveals GOLD. Just like mining in the Yukon... very cool 👍

[@cath7336]

Earnest is adorable. 😍 I've missed the daily updates, but this weekly update is great 👍.

[@annettehernandez147]

This was a fantastic episode Billy ❤ absolutely worth the wait 100% !!

[@bambiborel6837]

Michael and Billy never looked so much alike until today love and prayers to you both✌🏻❤️🙏🏻

[@PipPop2]

Love watching you and your extended family explore and restore these wonderful old structures. Please keep filming!

[@sueg2658]

Regarding the cat. Have the owner bring something with her scent on it like a blanket, pillowcase etc. the cat’s litter box anything the cat will recognize. Don’t give up on the trap, you just have to have patience and it takes time. Cover the trap with something like the blanket from the owner making sure the cat can enter. Wishing you the best of luck.

[@wayne-kv9it]

Missing the daily’s, always watching you guys working hard when the Mrs was watching the her soaps, but loving how much more the kitchen is coming along, keep up the brilliant work chaps

[@damealeta3541]

I love this once a week video idea! Now I can sit and sip coffee and watch, relax & enjoy your lovely scenery. Glad you covered that hole back up. I can only imagine how putrid it smelled 🤢Like the hats a lot! Enjoy your week and I'll see you next Sunday 💚

[@concertmasterp]

This was exciting to watch. It will be awesome to see the finish and to know the stories of both properties. I am still hoping I can come and volunteer for you.

[@terrileyda5346]

Because it’s your vlog, Billy, it’s well worth the wait for your weekly treat!

[@kathypeterson1050]

It’s nice that there is more time for family and the chateau. Back in focus.

[@elisabethbenders-hyde5286]

I miss seeing you and Shaun noodling about. Always some little nugget, no matter how small. It was like being there during the construction. But glad this gives you more time to dedicate to other things.

[@lulugirl7043]

Hi Y'all !!! Missed my daily fix but I'm getting over it. Do like all this catch up.

[@DwightDavidson-p5u]

This video wandered all about. Miss the focused videos.

[@lucpar23]

Love the long format video. Miss seeing the dailies but a longer video with all the updates is worth the wait.

[@nokesbob2256]

Keep us updated on the cat. Hopefully she either goes home or someone catches him. The tunnel, oh, there are so many things it could be! Another Chateau mystery! It would be cool if you actually found a dry tunnel that was actually use to walk in, leading to a wine cellar or something really cool.

[@monicateeling810]

Great varied vlog and congrats on finding the lid over ✅✅✅✅✅✅

[@margaretdurant9013]

Great to see Ernest👍🏽 he’s so lovely. I missed the dailies but this one was worth waiting for!❤🇨🇦

[@paulinedixon3490]

You have two beautiful boys and they are growing so fast.

[@jesschee5891]

Love the banter between you, Sean and "Frank" Steve. 🤣 And I love Archie's chubby toddler feet, the boys are getting so big. Micheal looks like he just woke up. good job finding the tunnel...l feel bad for Michael ..... little brother beat him to it. Hopefully you let him be the first one down when it's dried out. Looking forward to seeing that. Until next week, stay well and good luck finding the kitty.

[@taxiuniversum]

Interesting, with the tunnel! The smell is probably methane, so should you go in there some day be cautious (can be a problem for breathing).

[@johnpritchard2772]

hello everyone, (lovely children included) what an varied and interesting video, very enjoyable too - looking forwards to the next instalment. Best wishes from Lincolnshire.

[@angelabourke4822]

You gave me smiles just when I needed them today, thank you.

[@albertpeckham8708]

The approach to your chateau is still one of the most exciting views!

[@SpaceFlye]

As much as I love having a daily upload, this "polished" look with the weekly overview is quite nice for a Sunday.

[@carolfaberpeake857]

Wow new toy! 🎉 The boys are such fun to watch 🎉

[@LordUSABless]

Great you found the tunnel. Perhaps you could pump it out and investigate them now. Love seeing Billy with Ernest. Getting along well at the convent.

[@TruLdy]

Awe your baby boys are adorable Billy. We waited and here we are cant wait for the final walls of t

[@livmaria942]

Wow how much Ernest looks like his father and uncle Michael, and Ernest he is just so cute, you are a great family to follow and you always put me in a good mood, Thank you for your great effort with all those videos and you are incredibly hardworking and talented, I take my hat off to your wonderful mood and all that you get from the hand, Many hugs Maria Denmark,❤

[@suzannestubbins]

Making great progress on the kitchen....very exciting. The boys are so big now. When I watched Michael's video's, Doing it Ourselves, Ernest was baby, couldn't walk yet.; now look at him, a very handsome boy. Both boys are lovely 😍 ❤😊

[@dianehale7650]

I do miss your dailies. Having said that, it was good to see you and the progress made this week. I think I want one of your hats.

[@amandaoosthuizen9065]

Boys toys, beautiful to watch you and your son interacting.

[@taxiuniversum]

I have to say: Your chateau is remarkable beautiful! Add some wonderful, fragrant historical roses, please! And maybe some exotic trees. 😍

[@donnastevenson6700]

Archie wants to see how everything works, while Ernest is the scholar. I love your videos. Hugs from NY

[@JaxonsDd007]

105 k in 24 hrs..You are still killing it Billy

[@Carolbearce]

I love these longer videos and visits to the chateau and get to see your boys. The convent sure is coming along.

[@SandraWarmbreath]

Still so many surprises at the Chateau ❤

[@lulugirl7043]

Too funny !!!! When you were using the metal detector my phone buzzed with a notification 😂 !!!

[@lorrainechristensen2408]

Hey Billy, you don’t want a recirculating vent hood , you need one that will vent putside, especially above that range cooker..it has very high BTUs coming off it, and the recirc hood will not take care of smoke , smells and grease extraction..don’t install it exchange it for a outside vented version.

[@mannyortiz4814]

Billy, Michael my loves. Well the new machine will come in handy for moving stuff around. Sean and Steve are doing a good job with the Sheetrock. Getting closer to the completion. Next time turn off the electric wire. Both the chateau and the convent are keeping you guys busy. Well my loves, take care and stay safe. See ya next Sunday. Love ya 🍺🍺🍺🍺❤️🌹🙏🌈🌞🇺🇸👍😇🕊

[@babswebb6408]

Super video Billy loved the mix of family and convent well worth the wait X 💜

[@monalingan9523]

Very cool video! Good to see you, Sean, Carl, and Michael. 😊
