Perfect example of a patient teacher and a willing bright student!! Billy you should be so proud of the domino effect you have created!! Love from Canada ❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦
More love from Canada..fantastic praise to Simon to inspire and show him how and Yannis willing to learn from scratch and do the hard work..great results
Way to go, Yanis! Huge credit goes to Simon. He is an amazing teacher! He gives thorough and clear explanations and directions. And he's very patient. This viewer is going to be very sad to see the plastering finished. 🙂
This is turning out to change to be an education channel Having been in the education sector my whole working life I’m really impressed Simon. Not only well done Janice but also well done Simon. Fantastic work. There is nothing that beats a good teacher!
I was taught to plaster and point by a bloke who was registered blind (said he only needed to see a foot in front of his face). It certainly shows in my attempts at pointing.
Poor Yanis being filmed doing his first time plastering a ceiling. He really is a good sport about this cause I know I wouldn't want anyone filming me learning to do something like that as it would make me so nervous. Looks like he did a fantastic job WTG Yanis!
Alex is doing a great job at the video, he shows us different part of the convent we may have seen a long time ago but forgot all about it. Vraiement beau.
Billy….. I have to admit, I had to close my eyes when you were clearing the garden and pulled out the Rose bushes with the digger. Yannis…learning with trade will mean you will always have employment as long as there are builders. Someday, in the near future you may have a opportunity to share what you have learned to another eager to learn tradesman. Just remember how patient Simon was and carry it forward. You are blessed because you have a very patient Teacher in Simon.👏👏👏👏
Simon will make an everlasting positive difference to Yanis's life. It would be fullfilling to see how Yanis progresses in life so we can all be proud of him on his lifes journey. Simon you are tops!!!
I feel for Yannis as he’s on display for the world to watch his process…. The pressure……. Despite all that Yannis is a trouper, and very student and a great sport!
I get tired of renovations however your channel is keeping me interested. I love the work you are doing. At times I wish I could be there to help you. Perhaps it is the building. I love it. Keep up the good work and god bless you. ❤❤❤❤
Simon is a good teacher, very patient ! Yannis is learning a good trade and his enthusiasm to learn will serve him well in life ! You are doing a good job clearing that wallpaper Ryan, that job can be such a headache !
Simon is a patient & encouraging soul, which is this modern world of bullshitters is a nice thing to see. I hope Yannis goes from strength to strength under his tutelage.
Yannis, I am so impressed with your willingness to learn and your confidence. You’re doing such a great job. Simon, I wish all my teachers had been as patient and encouraging as you
Yannis has a light touch, and is doing so well, having been taught the correct way of plastering, by the super teacher Simon. So good to see a young man leaning the trade in such a positive way. Ryan is Cracking On in his wonderful way! You Billy, are doing such a great job with bringing the Convent back to life again. xxx
The world could do with a lot more gents like Simon, he's such a patient guy while he teaches his trade to Yanis. Yanis is making great progress and seems a natural at plastering, well done.
I am loving the segments with Simon teaching Yanik! Simon is such an great, motivating teacher! Huge props Yannis for being a great student! I am vicariously feeling very accomplished just through watching Yannis! He’s a lovely young man and relatable! We have all been beginners about something at some point in our lives!
The ceiling is a work of art thanks to each and every stage of work. It’s been worth all the effort to expose the beams and plaster & a pleasure to watch.
So proud of Yannis,,,,Simon is extremely patient. Billy surrounds himself with very good people. Will be nice to know where this will take Yannis into the future.
Yanis has hit the jack pot with Simon as a teacher. So inspiring to see how he has risen to the opportunity. Simon is so right. More skilled workers is what we need. Yanis will go far because he is so willing. Gardens in the future Billy will be stunning.
I love your channel Billy. As soon as I get my notifications, yours is the first one I watch. Keep up the good work everyone. Joyce, Connecticut, USA❤️🙏🇺🇸
It's a pleasure to watch Simon and Yannis working together as Master and apprentice. As Simon said, when a teacher finds a student like Yannis, teaching them is a pleasure and a gift. Watching the Convent change is such a gift to watch happening, thanks Billy.
I'm enjoying watching Simon and Yannis work together too. They make a fantastic team, master and apprentice. Yannis is a very quick learner. I sense a gentle and brilliant soul in him. Simon is a superb teacher. This project has some wonderful folks with awesome energy. It's inspiring watching this beautiful old place come back to life and all the great people making it happen.
Simon is a wonderful and encouraging teacher. I think Yannis is doing so well because he has the drive to learn. He can see the benefits of this skill set. Blessings to you all!
Being the great softie that I am, I’m in tears watching Yannis. Simon you must be so proud of him he’s doing soo well. I’ve seen “professional” plasterers who’ve made more mess and done a worse job than Yannis has done. It shows two things, one that Simon is a good teacher but also Yannis is a quick learner as Simon says he’s a natural but he’s also been watching closely what Simon’s been doing and that’s the best way to learn. Well done Yannis you should be really really proud of yourself you’re doing so well.
Simon is right, unfortunately it's difficult to get younger people into the trades. And they are needed so much today. Yanis I definitely a keeper!❤ A pool, that would be great, have you ever considered a natural pool? I've seen professionals install them, low maintenance and beautiful! Might be worth looking into. Glad you're checking up on Ryan, Billy! 🤫 Hide the hammer😂
Hi everyone at the Convent. Simon is a brilliant teacher; he is calm his voice is reassuring; his patience is a great tool for teaching. Yanis, is an amazing man, he is quick to learn and eager to work, a perfect combination. They make a good pair. Ryan's place is taking some shape, a lot is going on at the Convent. Well done.
Take my tip , push the old wallpaper into a dustbin bag as soon as you rip it off the wall it will go in easier wet than letting it dry out first, keeps the place tidy.
Love Simon! Not only is he an expert at his job he is a wonderful person as evidenced by the patient way he teaches Yanis, complimentary and encouraging. You picked another winner, Billy.
Well done Yannis it is tough enough to learn and have your boss watch you but you have a camera as well and still you do it great, and Alex the camera work is Brilliant you have a great team Billy and Ryan the Demolisher well what can I say , lol, Love you Ryan xxx Dede
Billy and Gwen , If you are thinking about any weddings in the future...it would be beautiful to pick place that might be a wonderful photo opportunity,such as wall or somewhere romantic on the grounds. Plant a rose garden with a love theme. There are all kinds of old roses and new that are named for that category!!
Way to go Yannis- you can do almost anything with your new trade. You have natural talent. As for the Garden- in the beginning of the video, I see apples and pear trees blooming. :D Also would suggest put in a herb garden as wel.
I wonder what the nuns would think of all the wonderful work you have done bringing life back into the convent. Possibly once day they will visit. I would expect to see tears of joy.
I noticed in your video in Ryan's apartment that there is glue on the floor, I once encountered that problem. My daughter found that if you lay wet newspaper on the floor, it makes it so that you can soak the glue, and it scrapes up with ease, and after you can sand the residual without completely gumming up the sanding disc's. Just a tip if you plan on going that route
Good job Yannis, that's a lot of pressure on you with all of us watching but remember we're cheering! Alex you are a wonderful filmmaker, your eye for Beauty and I'm happy you have no fear of the convents dark corners, I love seeing them all. Thanks Billy the garden is looking great
Simon is an amazing teacher. Very patient while teaching the tricks of his trade to his apprentice. looks like Yanis is a very quick learner and eager to learn his new skill at plastering and putting them to the good use for years to come. They way Yanis has picked up plastering in the short space of time Simon has been teaching him, you'll have the kitchen plastered in no time.
Great work, Yannis! To do a tricky job for the first time is hard enough, but to do it on camera to be seen by thousands is another thing all together! Well done!
Being a foreigner in a foreign land with virtually none of the language is so difficult , but now I c Yannis is finding his mark and his confidence is growing….a brilliant opportunity which he is grabbing with both hands …he has a great teacher and a great boss ( Billy) ….a great vlog …thnx to u all
Ah...digging up stumps with a backhoe is so therapeutic! I'm a lady that purchased myself a backhoe with a front end loader when I was in my late 30's. I used it on a property we had. As a child, I always played in the dirt, too. I miss that so much! 😂
I am so proud of Yannis. Your family must be proud of you! Simon, you are such a patient wonderful man, professional and teacher. My grandfather was a German trained machinist who travelled as an apprentice journeyman. He learned from the masters. Billy, you are a smart man. Thank you for sharing all of this with all your viewers and so many others. Merci a tous.
This video made my heart so happy. To see Billy allowing time for Simon to teach Yannis, and Yannis' willingness to learn is amazing. Learning this skill has the potential to change a person's life. And he is a very methodical student who takes his time to make sure it's done exactly the way Simon has shown him. Well done, all of you!
Well done Yannis! He’s doing so well and learning what’s acknowledged to be a tricky trade to master. A man that can plaster not just walls but ceilings, to a high standard, will never be out of work! Hats off to him, for how hard he’s working & how quickly he’s picking up all the different trades in the work he’s doing, and all in a language that’s not his own.
I love how many directions your videos take. We never know whats coming next. I desperately want to come knock down the rest of that wall so everyone doesnt have to bend down. 😂😊 I am really enjoying the cinematic beginnings of the videos now. Crack on!!!
Suggestions for your website: Could you add a page about the history of the convent, where it's located, how you acquired it, and what your plans are for the property? Maybe even a site map to help orient viewers? I think that would encourage people to support the project. A photo gallery of each room in progress would be great, too. Not everyone does Instagram or Pinterest. Keep up the great work!
Perfect example of a patient teacher and a willing bright student!!
Billy you should be so proud of the domino effect you have created!!
Love from Canada
❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦
Here is another Canadian chiming in....I agree fully with your statement. Billy is creating a legacy.
Same. A wonderful teacher and student team. 🇨🇦
More love from Canada..fantastic praise to Simon to inspire and show him how and Yannis willing to learn from scratch and do the hard work..great results
Canada 🇨🇦 is representing!
I agree.... with it all
🇨🇦 We get off easy here only mudding the joints 😁
Way to go, Yanis! Huge credit goes to Simon. He is an amazing teacher! He gives thorough and clear explanations and directions. And he's very patient. This viewer is going to be very sad to see the plastering finished. 🙂
We are all cheering you on, Yannis, and are so happy for you and your future !!! 💛 😊 Simon, I wish you could mentor us all. You are Wonderful.
This is turning out to change to be an education channel
Having been in the education sector my whole working life I’m really impressed Simon. Not only well done Janice but also well done Simon. Fantastic work. There is nothing that beats a good teacher!
Yannis is doing so good and Simon is a patient teacher, the mix is great. Can't wait to see that apartment finished. Have a great day
Go Yannis! Lovely to see how your confidence is growing, great achievement for yourself and your mentor! ⚡️🏆⚡️
My late Dad taught me how to plaster, mix cement, lay bricks etc. Watching this brings back so many happy memories for me. ❤
I am so delighted for you, that is wonderful! Enjoy replaying your memories.
A hard skill to learn...I wish I could how.
I was taught to plaster and point by a bloke who was registered blind (said he only needed to see a foot in front of his face). It certainly shows in my attempts at pointing.
I am so impressed with Simon and Yannis and the dynamic between them! One more thing to love about this channel!
Poor Yanis being filmed doing his first time plastering a ceiling. He really is a good sport about this cause I know I wouldn't want anyone filming me learning to do something like that as it would make me so nervous. Looks like he did a fantastic job WTG Yanis!
Alex is doing a great job at the video, he shows us different part of the convent we may have seen a long time ago but forgot all about it. Vraiement beau.
Wow Simone is such a nice, kind calm teacher. What a lovely guy. Yanis is working hard and doing so well.
Yannis is a natural and a quick learner! Bravo!
Simon is a great teacher, the amount of praise he gives helps develop confidence. Many teachers are lacking this quality.
Billy….. I have to admit, I had to close my eyes when you were clearing the garden and pulled out the Rose bushes with the digger. Yannis…learning with trade will mean you will always have employment as long as there are builders. Someday, in the near future you may have a opportunity to share what you have learned to another eager to learn tradesman. Just remember how patient Simon was and carry it forward. You are blessed because you have a very patient Teacher in Simon.👏👏👏👏
I thought they might be but I slowed the video and rewatched and I think they are actually just prickle weeds.
Oh, thank you James, I guess the thorns threw me off.
True sign of of mastering your skil is the joy of teaching it to an attentive apprentice. Your all so willing to try to do new things.
Yannis, a natural. Simon is gently leading him into being a fantastic plasterer. 👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Simon will make an everlasting positive difference to Yanis's life. It would be fullfilling to see how Yanis progresses in life so we can all be proud of him on his lifes journey. Simon you are tops!!!
Simon is such a natural and Yannis is a great student! Thank you for sharing the goodwill amongst "brothers"! This is a wonderful vlog!
I feel for Yannis as he’s on display for the world to watch his process…. The pressure……. Despite all that Yannis is a trouper, and very student and a great sport!
I felt the same way but Simon words of encouragement and praise made up for the pressure
The most patient teacher! He is very lucky to be learning from you.
I get tired of renovations however your channel is keeping me interested. I love the work you are doing. At times I wish I could be there to help you. Perhaps it is the building. I love it. Keep up the good work and god bless you. ❤❤❤❤
Simon is a good teacher, very patient ! Yannis is learning a good trade and his enthusiasm to learn will serve him well in life ! You are doing a good job clearing that wallpaper Ryan, that job can be such a headache !
Great job Janis .He fallows direction really well.He has a great teacher
Simon is a patient & encouraging soul, which is this modern world of bullshitters is a nice thing to see. I hope Yannis goes from strength to strength under his tutelage.
Yannis, I am so impressed with your willingness to learn and your confidence. You’re doing such a great job. Simon, I wish all my teachers had been as patient and encouraging as you
Billy, have you ever thought of using the chapel as a dining room for the hotel. It would be so cool!
Great to see the young man taking up a trade big thanks to Billy and Simon, for helping this young man out! Great job in the garden, Billy!
Yannis has a light touch, and is doing so well, having been taught the correct way of plastering, by the super teacher Simon. So good to see a young man leaning the trade in such a positive way. Ryan is Cracking On in his wonderful way! You Billy, are doing such a great job with bringing the Convent back to life again. xxx
Billy that railing going to Ryan's apt
Is gorgeous. Please keep it.😊
The world could do with a lot more gents like Simon, he's such a patient guy while he teaches his trade to Yanis. Yanis is making great progress and seems a natural at plastering, well done.

Really good teacher, his apprentice catching on so fast. 👍
Alex!! The angles and close ups are perfection!! 🎉
So proud of Yannis,,,,Simon is extremely patient. Billy surrounds himself with very good people. Will be nice to know where this will take Yannis into the future.
FABULOUS -
concentration, accuracy, confidence, self belief, reward. recognition
Wonderful to see Yannis learning. What a fine hardworking and willing student. Simon is a fabulous teacher. Well done. Keep going 😊
We certainly need good tradesmen everywhere!!!
Go Yanis!!! Well done 😊
I love my daily show.
Yanis has hit the jack pot with Simon as a teacher. So inspiring to see how he has risen to the opportunity. Simon is so right. More skilled workers is what we need. Yanis will go far because he is so willing. Gardens in the future Billy will be stunning.

I love the staircase going up to Ryan's apartment! Its beautiful!
Take my tip , push the old wallpaper into a dustbin bag as soon as you rip it off the wall it will go in easier wet than letting it dry out first, keeps the place tidy.
I love how encouraging and supportive Simon is Yanis is a natural, but it’s best to have a teacher who builds you up and gently corrects. 8:16
Yannis gratulace dobrá práce fandíme.
Yannis has one hell of a resume right out of the gate. Well done gentlemen!
Brilliant job Yanni's you'll be a professional plasterer in no time under Simon's expert tutorials.
Yanis being a willing student and you being a patient teacher is lovely to see. The Convent is moving along with lot’s happening all over.
Yannis, you're brilliant!! So, so glad you decided to learn that trade. You'll never be without with a trade like that 🙂
Love Simon! Not only is he an expert at his job he is a wonderful person as evidenced by the patient way he teaches Yanis, complimentary and encouraging. You picked another winner, Billy.

Much respect to Yannis, keep up the hard work, I wish you all the very best in life mate.
I was looking forward to seeing Yanis get a crack at the ceiling, he didn't disappoint! 👏

So impressed with both student and Master.
I've never seen such a great teacher and student. Yannis did amazing. I've learned so much and I love it.
😮😮 whoooo this "cave" would deserve a beautiful rénovation could be a bar or swimming pool.
Good job Yannis.Simon you are a great teacher.❤
Yanks is doing great. Simon is a great teacher, and you Billy are busy with so many projects....love your videos.
Ah...digging up stumps with a backhoe is so therapeutic! I'm a lady that purchased myself a backhoe with a front end loader when I was in my late 30's. I used it on a property we had. As a child, I always played in the dirt, too. I miss that so much! 😂
Love the intro and music Alex, very nice. Always enjoy watching and Billy's visit to see what Ryan's up to. Stirling job Simon and Jannis. 🇿🇦
Simon is a natural teacher.
It's wonderful to see a skill being passed down to Yannis.
Bravo Yannis on the plastering and also Billy on the back garden.
I am so proud of Yannis. Your family must be proud of you! Simon, you are such a patient wonderful man, professional and teacher.

For a beginner he did very well I remember my first time and I did wear some of the plaster
Good job Yanis. You learn so well.
This should reach a million viewers! Great content!
