I wonder if there are any nuns still alive, I'd love to hear their opinions on the renovation. You've come a long way Billy, you're doing a great job, all of you. Beautiful music yet again.
I agree, my husband and I do total home renovations, it's so empowering and so wonderful to see these projects happen. It's alot of work but it's so nice to see a home be transformed
Some years back I had frankly lost hope for the preservation of these many abandoned buildings in France. But as usual human beings (from all over the world, including France)have stepped up and surprised me. There is nothing more heart warming then people taking care of the past. Blessings
Well said! I feel the same as you for all "old" buildings here in America. We obviously don't have the date on our homes that you all have but I hold our dearly and hate it when developers say, "we are buying the land-we don't want the old buildings on it." And down, come the buildings or the old homes. It kills my soul and the soul of the neighborhood! I am going to LOVE this channel-
Living in a more than a 100-year-old little house with cold water constantly emerging through the old floorboards after heavy rain I really feel envious of your underfloor heating system! You did a great job!!
This entire project is monumental. What an exciting opportunity for your family and the town to bring this convent back to life. Bravo, Petherick family and all involved with this project. 😊
Hello all. I have been watching this from the beginning. Amazing!!! Such hard workers and visionaries! I pray I live long enough to see it complete ❤ to all
This is so jaw-droppingly beautiful l could cry! That floor sets the whole room up, the fireplace, the woodwork, oh that chandelier. Come on guys, envy is a sin, stop making me sin, ha!ha!😅 Your work is UNBELIEVABLE!!👍👌🤝 🐾🌈☮️🇨🇦
A little sly walk back in time to remember the long, meticulous work that was done!!! What a transformation!! Bravo to all the workers involved in the transformation!!!🎉🎉
You should all be very proud of the work you've done to get this historical building back in order. Hats off to you all. Cheers to all the blood, sweat, and tears involved. Now... CRACK ON ! ❤❤ 👏👏👏👍
WOW we appreciate all the fine editing of this episode, let alone the work that has been invested so far !! Brilliant Billy, just brilliant team Petherick!! Love and respect from Canada!! ❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️
And I can honestly say, I haven't missed one episode. An amazing project, we don't see all the ups and downs behind the scenes, we just see Billy handling it all gracefully, and cracking on. Wouldn't miss any of it if you paid me. Love to all of you.
A lovely retrospective of the kitchen renovation top to bottom. Nice seeing all of the fellows who worked up a lot of sweat getting the job done so well! Lovely music in the background.
Reaching that .5 million subscriber mark!! This is by far the most beautiful and memorable renovation on You Tube (....and there are a lot of GREAT renovation projects on You Tube...). Thanks for the recap video. Fun to watch.
Bravo!!! What a beautiful testament to months of very hard work given by your team! I can’t wait to see the library and dining room completed! Love from Pennsylvania, USA 💕🌷🐻
Its an incredible story of perseverance and courage, still not sure what the big grand plan will be but hopefully it will be enjoyed for decades,,,, incredible work,,
Tradesmen did this, these are the people we truely need, not politicians, not actors, not " influencers", not pop or rock stars, and not college proffessors. Amazing work.
I truly envy and admire those with such skills. We have NEVER properly valued our tradesmen - and future generations will curse the short sightedness of not training them through real apprenticeships since the eighties (and I'm being generous).
And bravo to each and everyone who has had the pleasure to work alongside you Billy it's been hard work but fantastic work each room has turned out stunning,who would not want a kitchen like that 😍👏👏👏👏 I appreciate everything that has been done so far thank you Billy for sharing your vlogs take care see you next time 💕🌼🤗
What you have done in 2 years is incredible, very well done , if any Nuns were still alive they would love it . Congratulations to you all and especially you Billy xxx
What a privelege it has been to watch your journey. When it's done, I would love to come and see it in person. That would be worth a trip to France. Thank you all.
I can’t believe the difference you have made in 2 years. I think I have seen every episode, but when you look back over the time progression it almost seems impossible that you have accomplished so much. You are doing a wonderful job of saving and restoring this historical property. Much respect to Billy and everyone that’s involved in this project.
I've been watching since the beginning - actually since Michael started Doing it Ourselves, but it never gets old watching the amazing work you have all done! Kudos to you and all your partners!!!
You have achieved so much Billy! I feel like I have been along for this adventure in your restoration, improvements and modernization of the Convent thru your videos. Your skills have only grown especially behind the camera. Thank you for the experience. I look forward to one day seeing it all completed.
Loved this retrospective of the splendid kitchen renovation. You and your team, Billy, did a remarkable job. Can’t look at that space without thinking of you laying and finishing those thousands of tiles yourself in your meticulous manner. You are quite a guy.
Thanks for this blog Billy, when I first saw the convent I never thought you’d manage to do what you’ve done, you never seem daunted. Love the music and every single person who helps you 👏👏👏👏xxx💕💕💕
What a wonderful look back! I have been watching since the beginning of the renovations and am amazed at how quickly it seems to have flown by. Billy, you have a knack for bringing such hard working people in to help you and make them part of your family of friends. I truly admire your work ethic, your consideration of everyone, your vision, your sense of humor, your skills and your seeming love of your work. You are really quite an inspiration to so many of us watching your videos. Thank you for letting us share in your journey. This is the first video I look for each day. 🙂
I've been watching from the beginning. Your talent imagination and fortitude are the marks of a true craftsman and creator. Congratulations to you and everyone around you. I look forward to your triumphs in the future. Thankyou for allowing us to come along on your journey.
A beautiful video with the extended Petherick "family" and so many memories. Such a Stunning result in the kitchen and so much more beauty to come. 💛 The friendships are so much a part of the beauty and value of this project and channel.
Hello Billy, I’m watching this from Northern Kentucky, USA. I look forward to your videos. I’m simply amazed at the beautiful restoration that you and your crew do. Thanks for sharing.
Has it been 2 years? Doesn't feel like it's been that long ago. Look at all you've accomplished since you first opened up that old iron gate. It's amazing! You should be very proud of yourself and your crew of friends. You've come a long way in that little bit of time.
Although I watched every episode of the transformation, this recap is a wonderful reminder of the hard work, the terrific bunch of “lads” working alongside, the vision, planning and foresight, and execution to bring that old shambles to the beautiful kitchen today. ❤️👍🏻👍🏻
Wow! I'm sitting here amazed at the dedication to this rescue! And, I've only seen one room. I don't even want to think of the money involved! The tile!!!! Just think about being able to tell your grandkids that you worked on this marvelous rescue!
This was, and is, a monumental undertaking. I can’t tell you how much respect I have for you, Billy, for taking it on. Looking back, it’s almost hard to believe how bad a condition it was in. Unbelievable!
Thank you for this lovely trip down memory lane. We all remember you talking about the convent before you bought it. The years had not been kind to it, but fortunately, it came into your capable and loving hands Billy. I remember the excitement of walking through the gates into that weed infested courtyard. Totally thrilled to see the steps into the garden and all the adventures tracking the paths and discovering numerous plants and walls. Naturally the inside is more important, so the wonder at seeing the chapel ceiling knocked most of us for 6. Since then, you have made such incredible progress, thanks to the amazing help of lots of friends and professionals. You are right to be so proud of the kitchen. It is outstanding. The work you are doing on the library and dining room will be just as amazing. I am very privileged to have been able to follow all of this and thank all of you, including Gwen, the kids, your Mum and Dad, Michael, everyone for letting me see this transformation. Every day is a total pleasure watching the progress. Thank you Billy, years of wonder yet to come! 😊🏆👏👏
What a huge difference you’ve all made already. With you, Billy, and your amazing team it’ll continue to improve to a fantastic standard. I’ll be watching all the way 👍
I came to the channel a little before you got to tearing out the cinder block walls.. Been here for every episode since and what a huge change! Sti;ll a a ways to go on the current libray and dinningroom areas so lots more to come. Thanks Billy for the flashback from the beging. See ya Monday!
I love these look backs! I remember the first day you brought us through. I thought you had lost your mind. You are a true visionary, Billy, able to see what many of us could not. What you and the team have accomplished in such a short time is incredible! I look forward to your videos every day. Kudos to you all! ❤🎉
The Reno so far has been so much incredible hard work, but Billy it's BEAUTIFUL! I've loved every minute of it! Thank you for taking us along with you! I look forward to seeing more of it! As my father would say blessings on you!! Pam
Thank you for restauring this patrimony of my country !! My government is just doesn´t taking care of this wonders, these gems our our history. You did !! And what you are doing is just awesome !! It really touch my feelings to see how this convent is being back to life... Thank you so much, in the name of all Frenchs and France !!
THE VISION...I have been watching from afar from the very beginning. I am so grateful to have been allowed to follow you during this massive renovation. A perfect example of what men's strength, foresight , innovation and sheer love of doing something worthwhile can accomplish. It has been an undertaking worth spending your time, money and strenght on. Well done...well done.
What a wonderful job that has been done on the kitchen. This is a stunning transformation and turned out lovely. Thank you for giving us a recap of the work done so far. Now for a library and dining room. You have done terrific Billy and company of helpers, friends, and family that have been there since the beginning and still there. Have a wonderful day
Billy and family I found your channel the day you got the keys. You have done an amazing job. Not only at the convent but building a group of friends who are just as amazing in their specialties.your kindness and generosity certainly was the cause of your success. I wish you well from here in Virginia USA!
Hi Billy. It's amazing to see the great work you all have done, when you go back and see what it was when you got it. It's going to be fantastic when it's finished, because it's beautiful now. I hope you do keep and finish it and not give up. Blessings to you and yours.
Wow that was lovely looking back over past 3 years and the magic that you have done to bring the old abandoned covent back to life Billy with your team I remember watching in awe you on your knees for hours tiling that Kitchen floor That was amazing thanks for today's look back it was great hope to watch you crack on for many exciting episodes 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
If anyone was meant to do this Billy, it's you! Amazing foresight and talent and just the right team to bring your dream to a beautiful reality. The music always fits the story...thank you!
How beautiful the architecture, the open spaces, the beams, the colors and what a beautiful job they did, it's spectacular. Worthy of ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Simple and beautiful. Great team Congratulations. I do remodeling in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 also the transformations are special. 🥰
The last three days, I was in a conference. One of the things brought up was the anaolgy of the large windshield and tiny read view mirror in a vehicle. We were reminded that we need to be ever looking forward to the future and not dwell in the past. For the most part, I agree. However, when faced with a very long road, I do appreciate looking back every now and then to realize how far I have come. I enjoy watching the Petherick journey on the Convent as well as the Chateau. But I also love to see videos like these that remind me of how far you have come and the progress made, not only with the restorations, but seeing the growth of the friendships developed! Hard work done consistently does pay off!
I can't believe the beginning and current state of the convent. You've done a magnificent job thus far. Seems you have a knack for putting together great folks who work hard and know their stuff. Looking forward, as always, to seeing more transformations!
Bill, you restored it to its former glory. Brilliant work by you and the team. It’s wonderful to see how far it has come. Thanks for this brief tour down memory lane. 🙏❤️😊 Love it!
I bought a 2 bedroomed cottage with 20' x 40' extension, 2nd fix, It has taken me 2.5 years to finish. Great what money and the right team can do. Fabulous. From Ireland
Words don’t express the transformation! I remember being part of the chorus saying not to take down the walls. How wrong we were! What a visionary you are, Billy! I hope you are just bursting with pride!
When I found your channel in my UA-cam feed the kitchen floor had been tiled, chandeliers hung but the stove & cabinets had yet to be installed. Thank you for sharing these beginning videos - the convent has come a long way - you have all worked so hard.! 🕊🪷🙏🏻🕉✝️🇺🇸❤️💙
I think I've watched you from the beginning. Had forgotten how bad the kitchen was and all the demo work it took before you could build it up to what it is today. It's a work you all can be proud of. The kitchen is beautiful! Thanks for sharing this journey with us.
Thank you, I personally love recaps as one forgets how bad things where and how far you and everyone have turned it around. Your journey is one of my daily joys thank you.
I know, in my heart, the NUNS ARE SMILING down at this beautiful Convent that once was their Own Sanctuary and Haven! GREAT JOB BILLY AND GWENDOLYN for taking this grand journey and sharing it with us all. The Building is also becoming happy again and will test the hand of time when someone comes and buys it again in another 100 years when we are all gone. It is BEAUTIFUL SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL how much Love and tenderness you have put back into it!💖💖💕💕
I am a newbie to your youtube, too. I haven't seen anything other than the opening of what you bought. Spiritual Blessings ❤ 🕊 ❤ . Now, I will watch this. It's the place of all places to live and share with others.
I hope you do this with each room when finished. Sometimes I think we get do used to see just how beautiful the kitchen is, we forget just how many painstaking hours went in to bringing the kitchen back to life plus if new viewers see this, it'll get them hooked in to watching new videos. Fabulous editing, and as always, perfect and captivating music. ❤️
A Labor of Love ❤️.. This is awesome that you were able to save this place. My heart breaks when I see old buildings and houses being abandoned or tore down. 😢
I wonder if there are any nuns still alive, I'd love to hear their opinions on the renovation. You've come a long way Billy, you're doing a great job, all of you. Beautiful music yet again.
Just the question I came here to ask. Billy said that they moved here to Canada. It would be interesting to hear if he's been in contact with them.
You read my mind. At the very least someone connected to the order who knew the before.
In the first few months Billy did meet with one of the elderly nuns. She passed before things got very far.
Was just thinking the same thing.
Yes, the music is very soothing. What is this style of music called! I need more in my life! Lol
What a thoughtful renovation. Rarely do you see the modern so well combined with the traditional. Gorgeous!
Absolutely STUNNING !!😮 Beautiful workmanship!!! I bet the Nuns would be quite pleased. 😊
There is something very special about seeing these craftsman do their jobs so meticulously, and with pride.
I love it ❤
Daryl Dixon
Nice place to be ❤

Never has anything so grand as this kitchen taken my breathe away. Absolutely stunning floor. ....WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That kitchen is absolutely beautiful, well done each and every one of you.
Living in a more than a 100-year-old little house with cold water constantly emerging through the old floorboards after heavy rain I really feel envious of your underfloor heating system! You did a great job!!

The progress is astonishing in the Convent!All Artisans have been so committed 🌟
And I can honestly say, I haven't missed one episode. An amazing project, we don't see all the ups and downs behind the scenes, we just see Billy handling it all gracefully, and cracking on. Wouldn't miss any of it if you paid me. Love to all of you.
Me too!
Me too 🇦🇺
Same. xx
Me either. 👍
A lovely retrospective of the kitchen renovation top to bottom. Nice seeing all of the fellows who worked up a lot of sweat getting the job done so well! Lovely music in the background.
I went to a convent to study French with the nuns. That was in Forges. I was there for 4 years. It reminds me of old time. Thank you.
You're all doing an excellent job. And the music selection for this piece is exquisite. Well done!
Reaching that .5 million subscriber mark!! This is by far the most beautiful and memorable renovation on You Tube (....and there are a lot of GREAT renovation projects on You Tube...). Thanks for the recap video. Fun to watch.
Bravo!!! What a beautiful testament to months of very hard work given by your team! I can’t wait to see the library and dining room completed! Love from Pennsylvania, USA 💕🌷🐻
You are for sure the right person to have bought this grand old lady and share your convent with all of us.
Incredible amount of hard work! Bringing a giant out of a deep sleep
Please dear readers give Billy and his hard working team a heads up by LIKING and SUBSCRIBING
Its an incredible story of perseverance and courage, still not sure what the big grand plan will be but hopefully it will be enjoyed for decades,,,, incredible work,,
Tradesmen did this, these are the people we truely need, not politicians, not actors, not " influencers", not pop or rock stars, and not college proffessors. Amazing work.

We have NEVER properly valued our tradesmen - and future generations will curse the short sightedness of not training them through real apprenticeships since the eighties (and I'm being generous).
Beautifully told, Billy!
I am so glad I saw the restoration from the beginning.
You are a visionary.
Blessings from Southern California.
Great Project! Love to see, that you cleaned the Wood by sand. Regards from a sanding professionell from Germany
Awesome restoration! I salute Billy and all the men who have worked on this project. You are changing history for the better. 🇨🇦❤️

your dad was so amazing with the floor and then all of your hard work with the tiles…been with you from the beginning of the journey! Way to go!!
This still amazes me. How far you have come. How many delays and surprises you have dealt with.
Fantastic work. I hope to visit soon.
Absolutely superb video clip. Beautifully told story of your convent.
What you have done in 2 years is incredible, very well done , if any Nuns were still alive they would love it . Congratulations to you all and especially you Billy xxx

So much hard work and wonderful memories, packed into an 11:14 clip. Thanks Billy and 👏👏👏 to everyone who has been part of the Convent rebirth. ❤🐨
Love to see how far you’ve come! And to see the “old” faces👍🏼Well done you all
Hello Billy, I’m watching this from Northern Kentucky, USA. I look forward to your videos. I’m simply amazed at the beautiful restoration that you and your crew do. Thanks for sharing.
We are in Northern Kentucky too!!!
What a labour of love - the results of attention to detail is perfection. It makes my heart so happy. ❤
Has it been 2 years? Doesn't feel like it's been that long ago. Look at all you've accomplished since you first opened up that old iron gate. It's amazing! You should be very proud of yourself and your crew of friends. You've come a long way in that little bit of time.
All of this is so beautiful. The work and time and people involved are glorious. It made me cry!
Although I watched every episode of the transformation, this recap is a wonderful reminder of the hard work, the terrific bunch of “lads” working alongside, the vision, planning and foresight, and execution to bring that old shambles to the beautiful kitchen today.
❤️👍🏻👍🏻
It is like an abandoned seminary.... 😢 Looks so beautiful...i remember my days😢😢😢
What a fantastic flashback video. I had forgotten so much. Unbelievable amount of work y’all did. 🎉🎉
Wow! I'm sitting here amazed at the dedication to this rescue! And, I've only seen one room. I don't even want to think of the money involved! The tile!!!! Just think about being able to tell your grandkids that you worked on this marvelous rescue!
This was, and is, a monumental undertaking. I can’t tell you how much respect I have for you, Billy, for taking it on. Looking back, it’s almost hard to believe how bad a condition it was in.
Unbelievable!
Fabulous episode! Absolutely wonderful! Thank you all very much! ❤😊

What a huge difference you’ve all made already. With you, Billy, and your amazing team it’ll continue to improve to a fantastic standard. I’ll be watching all the way 👍
You're the contractor the nuns wished they had hired! What a commitment. Looks amazing.
I came to the channel a little before you got to tearing out the cinder block walls.. Been here for every episode since and what a huge change! Sti;ll a a ways to go on the current libray and dinningroom areas so lots more to come. Thanks Billy for the flashback from the beging. See ya Monday!

I really is great to take a look back at where you started. It's been an amazing transformation so far.
For me, when the courtyard lights came on, the feeling was indescribable.

Hi Billy. It's amazing to see the great work you all have done, when you go back and see what it was when you got it. It's going to be fantastic when it's finished, because it's beautiful now. I hope you do keep and finish it and not give up. Blessings to you and yours.
Wow that was lovely looking back over past 3 years and the magic that you have done to bring the old abandoned covent back to life Billy with your team
I remember watching in awe you on your knees for hours tiling that Kitchen floor
That was amazing thanks for today's look back it was great hope to watch you crack on for many exciting episodes 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
If anyone was meant to do this Billy, it's you! Amazing foresight and talent and just the right team to bring your dream to a beautiful reality. The music always fits the story...thank you!

However, when faced with a very long road,
I do appreciate looking back every now and then

I enjoy watching the Petherick journey on the Convent
as well as the Chateau.
But I also love to see videos like these that remind me
of how far you have come and the progress made,
not only with the restorations, but seeing the growth
of the friendships developed!
Hard work done consistently does pay off!
❤❤❤
That is beautiful!!! It is so wonderful to see places like this restored. Great job. Thank you.❤
Very impressive and quite a commitment in sweat, time, cash and material!
A showcase of skill and craftsmanship!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Stunning & excellent work ... The building deserves your quality of craftsmanship, that you are providing for this lovely treasure ... 👏 ... 🤗 ...
I can't believe the beginning and current state of the convent. You've done a magnificent job thus far. Seems you have a knack for putting together great folks who work hard and know their stuff. Looking forward, as always, to seeing more transformations!
That step back in time was brilliant. So much has changed, sometimes you forget just how much 👍❤️
Bill, you restored it to its former glory. Brilliant work by you and the team. It’s wonderful to see how far it has come. Thanks for this brief tour down memory lane. 🙏❤️😊 Love it!
I bought a 2 bedroomed cottage with 20' x 40' extension, 2nd fix, It has taken me 2.5 years to finish. Great what money and the right team can do. Fabulous. From Ireland

It shows the building is back to being loved in the way it should be. Have to say well done absokutely stunning.X❤
A trip down memory lane and a testament to your vision and hard work. Thank you for sharing!
Simply beautiful combined with the grace of all the prayers in this kitchen the result is Divine
When I found your channel in my UA-cam feed the kitchen floor had been tiled, chandeliers hung but the stove & cabinets had yet to be installed.
Thank you for sharing these beginning videos - the convent has come a long way - you have all worked so hard.!

Your father is such a treasure. Makes me miss mine all the more. Love watching the progress. Thank you.
I think I've watched you from the beginning. Had forgotten how bad the kitchen was and all the demo work it took before you could build it up to what it is today. It's a work you all can be proud of. The kitchen is beautiful! Thanks for sharing this journey with us.
Thank you, I personally love recaps as one forgets how bad things where and how far you and everyone have turned it around. Your journey is one of my daily joys thank you.
The best of British workmanship. Bravo gents, simply amazing.
Astonishing how much has been accomplished in such a short space of time. Bravo for your vision and hard work.
I know, in my heart, the NUNS ARE SMILING down at this beautiful Convent that once was their Own Sanctuary and Haven! GREAT JOB BILLY AND GWENDOLYN for taking this grand journey and sharing it with us all. The Building is also becoming happy again and will test the hand of time when someone comes and buys it again in another 100 years when we are all gone. It is BEAUTIFUL SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL how much Love and tenderness you have put back into it!💖💖💕💕
Billy has such great vision of what to do with the convent...Hello 👋🏻 from Alhambra Southern California 🌴
I am a newbie to your youtube, too. I haven't seen anything other than the opening of what you bought.
Spiritual Blessings ❤ 🕊 ❤ .
Now, I will watch this. It's the place of all places to live and share with others.
I hope you do this with each room when finished. Sometimes I think we get do used to see just how beautiful the kitchen is, we forget just how many painstaking hours went in to bringing the kitchen back to life plus if new viewers see this, it'll get them hooked in to watching new videos. Fabulous editing, and as always, perfect and captivating music. ❤️
A Labor of Love ❤️.. This is awesome that you were able to save this place. My heart breaks when I see old buildings and houses being abandoned or tore down. 😢
