Go Ryan, your excitement is shining through this video! If you have "stories" accumulated for the convent, you can even do a picture book/e-book that can be sold to future visitors or for fund raising. Oh, and the Pethericks should just legally adopt Ryan, lol. He truly feels like family.

[@p.a.reysen3185]

Ryan, during WW-2, the British and Americans took almost weekly arial photographs of almost 100 percent of France. May I suggest an inquiry of the RAF Archives in England for additional detailed over-flight photos of the convent and surrounding area.

I like the black grout best

[@tostyjoost]

good idea!

[@fab_5356]

good idea

[@mc2594]

be interesting to know if or rather how WW2 effected the Convent and Nuns

[@timothywalker4563]

I’m sure the war affected the nuns, and yes on the RAF photos the USAAF photos might take longer due to the size of the archives but the payoff I think would be worth it😊

[@bonniealvarez5510]

i LOVE HOW SIMON AND JANICE WORK TOGETHER. In perfect unison, with few words exchanged. I love the mastery of their work. Great job guys!!!

The grout on the stone needs a DROP or two of brown to get that precise color. Otherwise it will be only gray, and the stones have a very slight tinge of brown in them. LOVE all of your hard work -- looking fab.

[@deniseblackman5229]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@mariewaters9346]

It needs to be more of a taupe colour.

[@jamesbaker429]

You are creating voids by the cellar steps and the original void in the wall with all the stuff work to improve insulation taking down the false ceilings reverses this but shows the original ceiling design. The glassi or ice house was the original fridge to keep dairy and meat cool and fresher in summer ,below ground a steady temperature year round and natural ice collected in winter from lakes and ponds insulated to keep frozen for years untill needed , layered by hay,straw and wood to keep frozen year round.

[@tostyjoost]

yes. or just very dark is also beautiful i think

[@juliebiever6693]

Yes there are a lot of different colors you could add. Reddish Brown or even buff. You can buy natural pigment powder you can add to your mix.

Ooo... ( Other than Ryan uping his presenting game, the maps from the past, and the tour ) ... The other thing that made this video really stand out was the " throw back to something that happened a few weeks ago " ( Billy ) part... That felt REALLY professional, and really well done!!

@@probstnatalie a few years ago there was a news story about a family doing remodeling in their bathroom and when they opened up a wall, they found scrawled on the sheetrock facing them the message "what was wrong with how we did it?" I think they need to leave a few of those around, too.

Hi guys again from across the pond. I have to say the videos are just super! The convent that keeps on giving. The history, the maps that Mary sent, the cold storage, the gardens, just wow! I never miss a day of intrigue with all of you fellas. Seriously, this convent renovation is really cracking on with Simon & Yannis. Ryan you have been a wonderful narrator and Alex, your filming is award winning! Hope you are enjoying your vacation, Billy!!

[@miramoth]

agreed! Alex is doing a wonderful job! This has been a very fun to watch week, well done to all

[@tamarrajames3590]

You said exactly what I was about to. I think they hit the sweet spot this week, with Alex’s amazing video and editing skills, and the obvious enthusiasm of all the guys pulling together and wanting to get everything right for Billy. They really gave a lot of variety in content, and that has made a very interesting week with lots of anticipation. Measuring out the garden, metal detecting for artifacts, experimenting with dye for the mortar, translating the wall, and so much more. That coupled with Alex’s fine eye has been a treat.🖤🇨🇦

[@Garden366]

Great episode again today and Ryan is in his element as a spokesman for the convent! And the videography! Alex you have brought a level of professionalism to the episodes that is just superb. And Simon and Yannis continue to work hard to bring the convent back to life. I bet when Yannis left his home country that he never thought he’d be a KZbin star!

[@leighnisbett9691]

The ice house would have been used as a place to store bodies in the summer months ,there would have been a certain place in the ice house where bodies would be placed until they were buried as the warm weather would speed up decomposition of the body ,so the colder the better for storing bodies .

[@bjbrown]

That is so different from here in America. An icehouse here is for storing the ice cut from the pond, lake or river and it was packed in sawdust, for insulation, and if done correctly it would last most of the year. It was the precursor to refrigerators. In fact the ice man would bring ice so ladies could have cold food. Yes, I am getting older!

[@sineadsmyth846]

The icehouse here in Ireland was for storing food to keep it cold. But only large stately homes or important buildings would have one.

[@bhaverst]

Also, embalming didn't become the norm until the mid 19th century. Bodies were kept "on ice" before then until burial.

[@dakm71moore80]

Here in Canada many Catholic cemeteries had winter storage vaults. The winter vault was used to store the bodies of the deceased during the winter until the graves could be dug again in the softened soil the following spring.

[@bhaverst]

Fantastic video! Stunning videography by Alex, per usual. Absolutely brilliant presentation and hosting by Ryan. You lads are doing Billy proud in his absence. Loved this! Bravo, Convent Crew! Thanks to Mary, whomever you are, for supplying the great photos. I think a display of found objects from the convent's past would be the best use of that space above the basement door. The grout needs a bit of brown to warm the color up if you want the grey to match the pointing in the upper stonework. It would be closer to the color of the stones which are definitely a warmer grey. As always, it's a pleasure watching Simon and Yannis working together. Simon is a fantastic teacher and Yannis is the most attentive and willing apprentice he could hope to have. Watching him observing the tips and tricks of the trade is amazing. He's soaking up all that knowledge like a sponge soaks up water! And he's the hardest and most eager worker I've ever seen.

[@damealeta3541]

Did they publish fire insurance maps in France? The ones published in Canada are amazing historical resources.

Not sure Billy is good with the idea of a seance. He gets creeped out enough on the 3rd floor. That is to say, I believe all tenants Of that time period it was a nunnery have passed. I like the idea of searching british and possibly even american WWII archives for pictures and possible other info. Might be worth checking with the red cross as well if they have any archives. With what has been shown in the attic it is possible they treated soldiers during that time.

What an interesting video Ryan, Alex, Simon and Yanis. Yanis is feeling more confident in his work and is working very hard with Simon. That was interesting about the mortuary if it was one. Ryan why not ask who ever owns the building if you can see it? do not know if it is owned by the farmer (Billy's neighbour) or a company. I think when the nuns had the convent, do not quote me on this but the normal practise is they usually laid the deceased in the chapel (So I am lead to believe). What a lovely photo's Mary sent to you of the convent. Well done it is so exciting to see the life line so to speak of the convent. Have a lovely day.

[@tamarrajames3590]

The ice room would have done double duty, and had a space for bodies…especially when it was a hospital as well. The bodies of Nuns and important people would have been laid out in the chapel for only a short time. The heat, especially in Summer months would have speeded up the process of decay too much for a lengthy laying in state. Bodies would also have been placed in the cold room during Winter, until the soil was soft enough to dig a grave.🖤🇨🇦

I think you need more red color in the pointing. Simon is such a handy worker. He seems to enjoy what his does and teaching Yannis. What a great leader.

[@judymills3599]

The glass fronted memorabilia cabinet is a fantastic idea. Maybe the gap above that could be for a time capsule. We are loving the videos of convent work, apartment renos, history and the gardens. Maybe while you can tell which fruit tree is which you can get some of the pastic write on labels and tie them round each tree. Then come pruning time maybe a volunteer can offer their time to prune the trees correctly and you'd also be able to see what to keep and what to clear from the gardens. I would love to see a call out for volunteers for a week long garden clearing and tidy up with maybe offering rooms in the convent for them to camp in. Logistics of toilets, showers and food could be worked out later but stress the provide own sleeping bag and camp bed or air mattress, after all, camping is camping..... but no campfires in their rooms lol.

WOW guys, Billy will not know the place when he gets back. Great job to all of you. Very interesting history lessons. Thanks Ryan. Photographic Excellence. Loving the videos of the outside.

Very interesting. Is the ice house/mortuary part of the Convent, or is that area behind the gate owned by the farm now? Those aerial photographs are brilliant. Well done, Mary, for finding them.

Thanks to Mary for those maps. Loved to see the developmental changes.
