Yannis is fearless !!

[@milehighguy80116]

There is nothing that Yanis won't do! From retrieving a drone stuck high in a tree to crawling in dark, tight spaces under the convent. YANIS, YOU DA MAN!!!

[@taniadevilliers348]

Rick is a tremendously valuable team member too, well spoken, sharp, engaged and up for anything.

[@TRoth858]

I love his smile, and positive attitude. He's a sweetheart!

[@marytaylor9185]

[@TRoth858]

@@marytaylor9185 he does have a twinkle in his eyes, doesn't he! 🤩

[@AbigailGerlach-zt1sh]

I swear, Yannis has no fear. Has Yannis found a whole different level of construction? Is the convent built on top of an older building? Cool idea.

[@malina1239]

Might be an old crypt or a part of an even older building . Or just a storm drain . As a former archeology student I love this stuff😊

[@sueleach7940]

Looks to me like it might be a Roman culvert

[@user-ld6bf6zs4w]

Billy you have a knack for finding the best people for helping you to make your dream projects a reality. While we often take time to praise the team we often forget to praise you for your vision and you are the cement that binds all together. Crack on team.😊

[@krisr1704]

Yanis ' work ethic is so wonderful and his ability to learn new things paired with wanting to learn new things is priceless ...before u know it he will be skilled in all things renovation/upkeep and u all will have a 24/7 property maintenance manager to help u all care for all the homes chateaus ,convents in the family... i think he will be a valuable person in all ur families lives to keep around for a long time .not just b/c of those things but he seems to be very kind and a joy to be around ..u all might as well as adopt him as family member at this point an honorary brother, son ,uncle, etc...let the adoption ceremonies begin... crack on everyone !!! and have a blessed day !!!

[@cheetahb5]

Remember along side the old altar location, there was a section of flooring that looks like it had been filled in? The thought was it may lead to the catacombs under the chapel. Maybe that arch structure was an outside entrance into those catacombs also?

[@amariebfree5326]

Exactly what I thought

[@capaeo5532]

@cheetahb5 excellent thought!

Maybe you can rig up an inspection camera to a remote-controlled car to explore the tunnels under the convent.

[@douglasbrown8175]

What a wonderful worker Yanis is he is doing great plastering, and he's not afraid of tiny dark spaces, well done Yanis.

[@Gyllsd1]

Yannis is a small man, but strong and mighty. I would not go down that hole, but he has no fear. Bravo, Yannis.

[@Haggy-gp6lc]

Well spoken yes, thank you. Sounds like he’s from my neck of the woods, up North. Chaucer’s English!

[@sixtenjohansson4246]

I love how Yannis is always curious and up for adventure. 😀

[@teresaholt5969]

Yanis certainly isn't afraid to get hands dirty. That was certainly exciting. When you see spaces like that under the ground, the imagination goes walkabouts. Great video 👏👏🙏

[@thepiquinggardener4660]

Yanis is such a great asset to this channel. He is willing to do anything! Not many people are made like him. I wish him great success in his life

[@mavep2855]

Yannis is a sponge when it comes to learning new things. His English is improving every day and his quest for knowledge will serve him and others very well. Rick is a joy to have around with his happy disposition. Have a safe trip Billy and Phil. 🙏❤️

[@BigAlf1945]

He'll take whatever the guys have to give and come back for more!

[@marytaylor9185]

@@BigAlf1945 I'm sure that when Billy is away, Yanis and Rick will be at the chateau giving a hand preparing for Mick's Birthday Party!

[@juliarank7490]

Absolutely agree about Rick being so valuable. He seems to be able to do anything, and always has a cheery smile. And it's wonderful to see Mick still getting in there too. Yanis is incredible as always, and Michael is doing a wonderful job on that lower kitchen and the terrace. Clive is a great plumber and will be the right mentor for Yanis, just as Simon is. Your videos, Billy, are excellent and I love your choice of music.

[@Garden366]

Well, we now have a new value of measurement. One standard Yanis. Yep, I can see it now; 2 guys determining how much flooring to buy, one worker turns to the other and states that the square footage measures 4.7 standard Yanis. Works for me.

[@susansisler1604]

I am so beyond impressed with Yannis! He is such an incredible young man & so up to learning EVERYTHING he can about EVERYTHING! All the skills he's acquiring, his comprehension of English! Keep it up Yannis, we love seeing you. A great group of men to watch, our Billy, Michael, their Dad, Rick, Yannis & Simon. You've accomplished so many wonderful restoration/renovations in both the Convent & the Chateau! All such beautiful articulate work. Thank you for sharing with all of us in 'KZbin' land. :D 'LET'S CRACK ON!'

[@TheRyamrebo]

Yannis you are an absolute legend! 🎉

[@Roseanne76984]

Yanis the fearless. He is so enthusiastic and will put his mind to anything nice one yanis.

[@craftycalley]

Yannis is very flexible. He got through that door at ground level so easily and smoothly.

[@Dak36]

I wonder what Yanis tells his family when he goes home. He takes on anything without complaint.

[@cherylowen7067]

Yanis is like a little ferret

[@Kenbur]

Yanis the spelunker

[@andrewmeers84]

Kudos to Yanis for climbing down that hole.

[@michellejenkins5922]

Could it be a passageway leading to the hospital, Yannis just seems to love learning, no matter what it is

[@sueregan2782]

Yes! We had such a tunnel from the nurses residence to the hospital when I was studying for a nursing degree.

[@user-hz8uc9iu8c]

5:38 a "yannis": new unit of measurement..😂

[@susansouthern6704]

Yanis is a tough guy..wouldnt catch me under there small space in the dark..nope!

[@annettesharrock1236]

Yanis has no fear he is a very inquisitive man always wanting to learn, How interesting what is below the building . Glad the leak was not to bad and now fixed😘

[@Lakritstrolll]

Perhaps it belongs to an older building on, which the new one is built on. 🤔

[@lindachenoweth9002]

Loved watching Rick trying to go through the hole like the smaller two did 😁! But that's ok, am sure he does things that they can't. Love ya Rick!

[@laurencunningham8281]

Yannis is so brave or fearless to go down the hole exploring!

[@laurensouthgate2458]

The thing i like about this channel is theres something new every day.

[@BillyGold007]

Put a GoPro on a radio controlled car and drive it along the tunnel

[@diflader887]

Once again Phil is there to help,please can you and your boys put in a day to help him as I think he would appreciate it ❤❤❤to all of you

[@jackienatale5205]

Look into mudfloods…..your convent may have a whole other level.

[@TheChronicToast]

Very likely! I can't wait until they get to the point of doing some dedicated excavations. :)

[@SpaceFlye]

Maybe? It could just be a crypt. Old wine cellar possibly? They did say this was the newest part of the convent.

[@ericacole7102]

Maybe it is time to bring in some historic excavation experts.

[@stephaniegaromon3244]

Yannis is fearless, he climbs to the top of a tree to rescue a drone and crawls down the depths of the convent trenches. He’s amazing!! Safe trip, Billy. xx

[@marymerrill1612]

Wow the kitchen is looking great.

[@CarolStJohn-oz3oc]

Rick looks so great!! So glad to have them back!! 😉

[@pamelawright1369]

The coffee machine certainly looks magnificent, Yanis such a trooper, secret tunnel for troops? Thank you for sharing 😊

[@duckweedy]

It helps to be small and wiry as a plumber, easy to squeeze into small places

[@susyandersen]

As I proposed a few videos ago. And now that you are buying a new camera. Use that camera to take a look into the crypt, through the window/air vent. Maybe we can see if the crypt is empty or full of dirt.

[@AdventuresWithSteven]

Hidden crypt? Maybe a few coffins or the hiding place of dracula?

[@TheChronicToast]

Ha! Not sure about dracula, but old cellar / catacombs could be legit.

[@vivienanderson603]

Is there nothing that Yanis won’t tackle 😄

[@suechapman8580]

I wonder if there is any documented history in Ernee about underground tunnels for hiding or escaping. Really enjoyed this video. Have a safe but fun road trip with Phil. X❤😊

[@dcimedic]

My great grandmother had a big old Victorian house and the one room was a dumping ground for antiques etc. We called it Sanfords room after the 70’s US TV show called Sanford and Sons. It was a comedy about a junkyard owner 🤣

[@dmunoz1943]

Lamont and aunt Esther. They were all a hoot!

[@annematten7218]

Wasn't that based on the BBC show Steptoe and son?

[@IB_A]

Well, time to dig deeper!

[@Anyone4music]

Seriously interested in those arched whatevers, excellent stuff, they might lead to the original burial crypt.

[@kylehkumagai]

I really love your channel,I've been watching since you bought the property.

[@kelliekretzmer4998]

Same! It's so awesome how far it's come... excited to see further developments

[@kylehkumagai]

I wonder if their are buried treasures under those arches? would be interesting to see it all excavated underneath there,not that they need more work lol

[@cindya.esquivel6876]

Billy, "I only know one skinny person" 😂 great people attract great people. And the Pethericks treat people well 😊

[@TheChronicToast]

Such a classic chill episode! Exploring! I'd be very surprised if this wasn't some sort of passage/cellar from a previous construction that's been built over multiple times. The fact it goes under the chapel is immensely intriguing. You could probably spend a month just excavating, same as at the Chateau with the tunnel system there. Very cool!

[@darleneklein429]

Billy, your vision for the convent is absolutely brilliant! Look so forward to your videos!

[@allierowland9]

Fantastic. It was like watching the Great Escape meets Time Team.

[@katharinatrub1338]

I immediately thought of what you confirmed straight away Billy, Yanis is interested in learning plumbing! Janis, such an eager learner, he's becoming an 'Allroundman'! And for the arch, perhaps it is a reminder of a foundation predating the convent? An archeology project in sight...?

[@catherinefromchristchurchn6508]

It's possible there used to be a water course, but changing land use and/or diversion caused it to dry up so the entrance and exit were closed off. If so, old town records or old religious property records might be enlightening.

[@jamesbaker429]

As this is the toilet block it may be a place where wast could acumulate and be dug out periodically,with town drains installed this contaminated space would be walled up ,as no longer required tank.

[@HisGlory768]

I love your sense of adventure and vision! What an undertaking this convent project is! Thanks for bringing us along!❤

[@Robin-xr2tz]

I’ll hold the light with Rick and hold my breath for Yanis. Holy smokes Yanis I was super happy when you came out of the hole. Dismantling the secret room then you find the hole. I wonder how many mysteries you are going to find.

[@banjoboy8802]

Very funny video. One of these day's Yannis will go down one of those holes and will pop up in the Chateau

[@joysticksnjukeboxes]

The surrounding properties may have had different drainage back in the day, or a lack of, and the convent needed to keep more water moving out. Or maybe they wanted to move it in the direction of the garden to use it.

[@marcikrause3462]

Exactly what I was thinking...less town around, more water to handle running off the fields?

[@gregfyn]

Janis needs a GoPro ;)

[@tamarrajames3590]

That opening shot says it all…when Yanis isn’t doing, he is watching like a hawk, picking up knowledge wherever he can. The journey below tells us he has as much love of a mystery as Simon, and he is fearless. It will be interesting to see what is actually down there when you dig it all out. I enjoyed this.🖤🇨🇦

[@beckysimeone4882]

Lauralawrence4146 says it is a hypocaust, which was ancient Romans way of central heating (blowing hot air underground and piped up to the rooms above). Sounds plausable to me.

[@jeffreyyoung4104]

I am glad you are looking at the foundations, as the building stands or falls due to the foundation! Seeing the pipes were PVC, I would think they just lopped off the old pipes and installed new for convenience. But it makes finding the old supply line harder!
