I don't know why I got emotional watching this one. But as you were chipping away at the concrete, and exposing the original floor, I starting thinking abt the fact that your convent is as old as the country, America, I live in. Seeing you bring it back to its original beauty is beautiful. Thank you Billy Petherick.
We true Americans, who believe in truth and justice and our Constitution will build back our beautiful democracy, from the ashes, better and stronger! 💙
Wow! Just wow. I can’t help wondering what the nuns were feeling when they stepped through the door and ascended the staircase for the first time, 250 years ago. They would have seen the beamed ceiling, and possibly the granite floor. The scent of new wood and plaster….and we are getting this little glimpse of their past as you take the convent into the future. Thank you, Billy, and team, for this journey full of past echoes and new dreams.
Thank you, Billy, for always being so decent when you talk to the camera, and for working so hard. A real inspiration and sense of steadiness in a world where it's so easy to answer "why?" to duty and responsibilities. Let's instead start saying "let's crack on!" and get things done 👍🏼
I generally hate demolitions. In program after program they attack some beautiful old house or chateau and instead of saving them, they turn them into bare shells filled with modern... Not so here. . Other than your charming selves, I really love how you reveal her true bones and reinstate this magnificent building! A pleasure from day one! ❤❤❤
Never thought I’d like watching demolition, but finding the treasures of original marble flooring and exposing the whole of the staircase is brilliant.
The music for the working-ethos/-epos is greate! It' like watshing a natural spectacle (river/ waterfall evolving). Its creats harmony and shows ebb and flow of this building structure in the infinity of life. Very poetic picturs!
Billy, you are the project manager everyone dreams of. You’re so considerate of your workers, giving them all the credit and praise they deserve. You’re managing something that very few people could pull off. I think the chateau renovation and especially the convent will be your legacy. Thank you for including us and letting us watch.
Yannis has become an essential part of the renovation. It's been great to watch his progress. He's a solid worker, never complains, learns quickly, always positive, and has oodles of energy.
These buildings and grounds couldn't ask for better people to help bring out the best in what they are and can be. Love seeing the progress and truly hope to visit it one day. Bravo!!! You all are doing such great work. Insperational job in all you have done with these great old places. Been following the family vlogs sence 2019.
Billy covered this in the last couple of videos. It too high on the wall for one level, and too low on the next level. It falls right at the landing area.
But maybe there is something in this idea of hanging a stained glass window on the wall where it would be ideal to have a window, and lighting it from behind… 😊
You so did the right thing, Billy, taking the time needed to get the old structure back. Already it’s obvious how beautiful it was and will be again. You really have the dream team!
Billy never would have know this staircase was so BEAUTIFUL … and there was this amazing floor hidden .. What art …… thank you and the tram for bringing its magnificence back to the world
I am loving the staircase reveal. So exciting to see her come back. I hope it is as rewarding for you as it is for us to watch. Thank you for taking on this gorgeous building and it's history.
Yanis was looking forlorn waiting for his turn to be demolition man! Well done guys 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💙💙💙💙 You have a great team and if Yanis’ mum watches this - I would like to congratulate her on raising a wonderful son who has a great work ethic - well done Yanis 👏👏👏👏👏💙
I just love watching what you’re doing at the convent. So happy to see the original granite floor back, and your passion to retain originality and historical value in all you do. Well done men! 👏👏👏👏❤️
It is wonderful that you all clean up as you go. It makes your progress easier to see and appreciate! I am enjoying all of the beauty that you are bringing back to life. Thank you❤
Yea Steve the destroyer is back I don’t know where he gets his energy from he is such a hard worker and that wall wasn’t going to come down easy so well done everyone please don’t forget masks with all that dust around your health is priority keep safe everyone 🙏💖
It's amazing that Billy can walk through rooms I still didn't know exist. He may need to supply loaner GPSs to vistors. "You are here. Your guide will be with you shortly."
Billy, you need to invest in a bigger jackhammer. You need a taller jackhammer so you don't have to bend over as much to save your back. The process you have made is just amazing. The staircase is beautiful.
I love what your doing by bringing it back to its original glory ❤ . I am sitting here thinking about the stone floor, how many people walked across it before it was covered.. again thank you. An after thought… like the wagon ruts in Pompeii, It just touches me in away that’s deeply somewhat moving.
I like to imagine the nuns stopping in (in spirit) and observing and approving of the refurbishment of the convent. Thank you for all your hard work-both convent and content!
Everyone should wear head gear to block sound from the jack hammer. It can cause hearing damage, especially inside a building. And everyone needs saftey glasses for flying chips. The floor is so awesome!
You are still bringing the Wow Billy. When I see the clock hit 12:30 if I am not busy or even when I am, I come to this vlog to keep going. To find my own Wow in life and realize even if the work looks like a mountain just remove one bit of the rubble at a time..😊
So love the music, just puts you in the mood for discoveries and demolition, that Yanis (and Steve) are demo machines, though the sledge looks like it weighs as much as Yanis, they look like they're having as much fun as you Billy...that floor is gonna be so much fun to add furnishings to...sledge on boyz...!
I hope you all get chance for some well deserved rest and relaxation at the end of the day, taking out all that concrete looks like an absolutely gruelling task!
I click-stopped immediately on my first screening to contemplate how beautiful this kitchen has become from the lighting to the different choices you have made of beautiful disparate antiques to the brass of pots pans and chandeliers, the spectacular espresso machine, the richness of all cabinetry and all those lovingly applied coats of oils, creating an ambiance of religious culinary creativity. What a feat! Bravo! I see already a 5 star et chateaux for your masterwork in progress❤🍍🍀
Billy, I remember you admiring the staircase when you first acquired the convent. Bravo on returning it to its intended glory. Its going to be magnificent. ❤🎉
Steve and his demo sledgehammer are back, Yeah! I simply cannot understand how, after each hard grueling day, you all keep going. Especially Mr Petherick Sr. You are either all freaks of nature, or just very very stubborn. 😊
At 2:01 Just as the enormous chunk of concrete falls, Yanis does indeed look like The lord Prince of Destruction who has just vanquished the DIY dragon.
Billy, this needs to become the grand entrance! This will be gorgeous! the sweeping staircase and the large room will be amazing as the entrance to the convent.
Hello, in places where the concrete is directly on the granite and a stain remains, you can dissolve it with low-percent hydrochloric acid or concentrated vinegar. But be careful and protect yourself.
What a difference a day makes. You all have done so wonderfully well. Loved watching the floor come up. The music was reflective, and the work was inspiring. Thank you!
I was wondering when you wouldget some chairs to sit on in the kitchen. Only just saw them and oh this is marvelous now you are bring back the sight of the lovely original floor!
Is it possabile to find someone who could use ground penetrating radar to tell you what might be below the granit slabs? Just a thought. The room looks so much bigger now that all the concrete is removed. You all work so hard. Thank you for taking us along.
I really appreciate that you post daily. It’s sometimes the highlight of my day ❤
mine too!
Mine is the highlight every single day ❤
Me as well!
💯...double time this particular week...✨
Same. I live in the west coast of the USA, so I'm looking for my daily fix around 10:30am my time. 😁
I don't know why I got emotional watching this one. But as you were chipping away at the concrete, and exposing the original floor, I starting thinking abt the fact that your convent is as old as the country, America, I live in. Seeing you bring it back to its original beauty is beautiful. Thank you Billy Petherick.
I feel like that alot. Its a very special place. But im still upset at the idea of a bar next to the chapel w the organ!
@@jannyleigh47 They de-consecrated it. He mentioned it in a different video.

True Americans = The native people = American Indians
They are still so easy to dismiss, aren't they. All others are immigrants.

I was thinking this myself
Your writing is very poetic! I love the image you gave! :)
@@CherylSimser oh my! Thank you!

It's sad to see how many bad renovations were done.

You’re managing something that very few people could pull off. I think the chateau renovation and especially the convent will be your legacy. Thank you for including us and letting us watch.
The grand staircase should be a feature of the convent.
The granite floors are such a gift! I love them!
Billy you are the best project manager for this renovation and on top of that your video skills are amazing. Thank you.
You have unearthed a time machine and taken us back to the birth of the convent.
Yanis is like the duracell bunny he just keeps going
Yes! I have thought that often. ❤😊
I have been thinking the same!
Mick is a trojan horse, he does everything. They're both treasures
@@kelliekretzmer4998 So True!
Yes, Yanis is an amazing young man. You are very lucky to have him.
Yannis has become an essential part of the renovation. It's been great to watch his progress. He's a solid worker, never complains, learns quickly, always positive, and has oodles of energy.
He’s probably so glad to prove himself. Commenters are so appreciative. He’s done so well.
from the episodes i have watched... he is a powerhouse of a worker and a blessing to this team. and his Push broom technique is on par
I’m very happy for Yannis, because he’s happy himself!
The more you remove, the more I can feel the old girl breath more deeply. All that you're doing is amazing.
Well said. I agree with you.
Amazing place. The 3 foot floor, on top of the older tile floor, is amazing!
No rebar in the concrete floor. What a blessing. Looks Great 👍🏼
I thought the same thing....at least no chicken wire in that concrete
@@kelliekretzmer4998
There's something so satisfying about watching that floor come out.
It is so exciting to watch you uncover history!
That stone floor is going to be so awesome!
It's hard to imagine how much material was added to the building in the 70's-80's, and how much you are able to remove today.
18th century floor is amazing. An Archaeologist dream finding such a gem.
These buildings and grounds couldn't ask for better people to help bring out the best in what they are and can be. Love seeing the progress and truly hope to visit it one day. Bravo!!! You all are doing such great work. Insperational job in all you have done with these great old places. Been following the family vlogs sence 2019.
Sweet, being able to expose that granite floor!
Billy! The staircase needs the window! Maybe if you find a stained glass window at an antique store? It would bring a beautiful look to the stairs.
Billy covered this in the last couple of videos. It too high on the wall for one level, and too low on the next level. It falls right at the landing area.
But maybe there is something in this idea of hanging a stained glass window on the wall where it would be ideal to have a window, and lighting it from behind… 😊
I agree, Yanis is a machine and he really loves doing demolition. You have an amazing and hard working team.
Another great day of cracking on by you gentlemen 👏 shout out to demo man Yan and super steve for the sledge hammer action 👍
You make this old woman's day Billy!
It really is finding buried Treasure!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Seems the reward for your work is seeing history staring back at you. You guys are amazing. I really needed this today. Thanks.
You so did the right thing, Billy, taking the time needed to get the old structure back. Already it’s obvious how beautiful it was and will be again. You really have the dream team!
Billy never would have know this staircase was so BEAUTIFUL … and there was this amazing floor hidden .. What art …… thank you and the tram for bringing its magnificence back to the world
Look at that amazing floor!!
Wow, so lucky it's still under there! Thanks for showing us!
I am loving the staircase reveal. So exciting to see her come back. I hope it is as rewarding for you as it is for us to watch. Thank you for taking on this gorgeous building and it's history.
I can't wait to see the stairs/banisters refinished/cleaned. I'd volunteer to do it😊
An amazing new space…It is surreal in appearance. You are exposing it’s true antiquity. Thanks for sharing your adventure remodeling the old convent.
Yanis was looking forlorn waiting for his turn to be demolition man! Well done guys 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💙💙💙💙 You have a great team and if Yanis’ mum watches this - I would like to congratulate her on raising a wonderful son who has a great work ethic - well done Yanis 👏👏👏👏👏💙
Oh my, the progress keeps revealing more beauty! 😊
I just love watching what you’re doing at the convent. So happy to see the original granite floor back, and your passion to retain originality and historical value in all you do. Well done men! 👏👏👏👏❤️
It just keeps getting better and better! What a privilege to bring the old building back to life! ❤
It is wonderful that you all clean up as you go. It makes your progress easier to see and appreciate! I am enjoying all of the beauty that you are bringing back to life. Thank you❤
Great idea to expose the original floor! ❤❤❤❤❤
That wall didn’t really want to come down! Talk about group effort, wow!
I can't wait to see the floor totally exposed😊
Yea Steve the destroyer is back I don’t know where he gets his energy from he is such a hard worker and that wall wasn’t going to come down easy so well done everyone please don’t forget masks with all that dust around your health is priority keep safe everyone 🙏💖
It's amazing that Billy can walk through rooms I still didn't know exist. He may need to supply loaner GPSs to vistors. "You are here. Your guide will be with you shortly."
Awesome job guys..!! Steve's got the right "swing" on that sledge hammer.. What teamwork.!!
Would not miss a viewing for the world! Well done Team Billy. So exciting👏👏❤❤👌👌
Great progress and awesome that you have the original floor it's going to look amazing
Billy, you need to invest in a bigger jackhammer. You need a taller jackhammer so you don't have to bend over as much to save your back. The process you have made is just amazing. The staircase is beautiful.
Might be able to get a longer bit.
Billy you and your team are brilliant Yanis is a power house .👍👍👍👍🤩🤩🤩🤩👏👏👏👏.
STRONG ( literally ) work men!!
I love what your doing by bringing it back to its original glory ❤ . I am sitting here thinking about the stone floor, how many people walked across it before it was covered.. again thank you. An after thought… like the wagon ruts in Pompeii, It just touches me in away that’s deeply somewhat moving.
It’s such a privilege to watch the transformation of this beautiful old convent. The planning, the demolition, uncovering original features…. ❤.
love following along with the progress - what a transformation. another great video, Billy! always love your music selections.
Fassnating the way concrete is removed to see xhat has preserved underneath 🎉
I like to imagine the nuns stopping in (in spirit) and observing and approving of the refurbishment of the convent. Thank you for all your hard work-both convent and content!
BRILLIANT!
Yanis is like a machine but for me your Dad is absolutley amazing, he's always on the go.
This is quickly becoming my favourite room ❤
All of the rooms are my favorite. It just gets better and bettet.
Everyone should wear head gear to block sound from the jack hammer. It can cause hearing damage, especially inside a building. And everyone needs saftey glasses for flying chips. The floor is so awesome!
You are still bringing the Wow Billy. When I see the clock hit 12:30 if I am not busy or even when I am, I come to this vlog to keep going. To find my own Wow in life and realize even if the work looks like a mountain just remove one bit of the rubble at a time..😊
You have great vision Billy. It's already looking pretty awesome 😍
So love the music, just puts you in the mood for discoveries and demolition, that Yanis (and Steve) are demo machines, though the sledge looks like it weighs as much as Yanis, they look like they're having as much fun as you Billy...that floor is gonna be so much fun to add furnishings to...sledge on boyz...!

Oh my Gosh Billy... it's beautiful! How stunning... I am floored! .......
Billy, I remember you admiring the staircase when you first acquired the convent. Bravo on returning it to its intended glory. Its going to be magnificent. ❤🎉
The kitchen is just beautiful ❤ I am so excited about this floor 🤩🤩
Fantastic progress guys. This floor, like the entrance s going to be fabulous. X
Impressive progress, Billy aka project manager man of vision.
I love your vision Billy. That staircase is awesome.. Love the stone at the bottom. You guys work so hard!!! See you all tomorrow
Steve and his demo sledgehammer are back, Yeah! I simply cannot understand how, after each hard grueling day, you all keep going. Especially Mr Petherick Sr. You are either all freaks of nature, or just very very stubborn. 😊
I could watch that all day.
Amazing recovery!! Well done, looking forward to the full reveal
At 2:01 Just as the enormous chunk of concrete falls, Yanis does indeed look like The lord Prince of Destruction who has just vanquished the DIY dragon.
Part of my day, watch this channel. Awsume you all are. 💙
Billy, this needs to become the grand entrance! This will be gorgeous! the sweeping staircase and the large room will be amazing as the entrance to the convent.
I was thinking the same thing. : )
What a treasure finding that floor.
I love the exposed flook.
Billy, every time I see that kitchen at the convent I fall in love with it. It's so beautiful 😍.
Y'all must go home absolutely exhausted every day. Look forward to your video every day.
I absolutely love your videos Billy. Your restoration work is like slowly unwrapping an exquisite present! I look forward to them each day!
That’s impressive!
Hello, in places where the concrete is directly on the granite and a stain remains, you can dissolve it with low-percent hydrochloric acid or concentrated vinegar. But be careful and protect yourself.
Aahhh, another beautiful floor for Billy! Just what keeps him going.
Steve and Yanis! Double teamed that wall.
What a difference a day makes. You all have done so wonderfully well. Loved watching the floor come up. The music was reflective, and the work was inspiring. Thank you!
You never know, Billy, you might come across the Convent Treasure!!! .😊🏴
I was wondering when you wouldget some chairs to sit on in the kitchen. Only just saw them and oh this is marvelous now you are bring back the sight of the lovely original floor!
Great choice for floor drilling music!
I turned it of, the monotone piano made me stressed
What a FANTASTIC Team you all are. 💪💪💪💪💪👷♂️👷♂️👷♂️👷♂️👷♂️❤❤❤❤❤❤
mesmerizing watching you break up the floor and it being carted away
Excellent work gentlemen! 🍁🍂🇨🇦🧡
WoW...love the unveiling of the floor! ❤
you should try to find a farmer who could take the debris for you to make backfill, this would avoid the constraints of the dump
Is it possabile to find someone who could use ground penetrating radar to tell you what might be below the granit slabs? Just a thought. The room looks so much bigger now that all the concrete is removed. You all work so hard. Thank you for taking us along.
Amazing work..greetings from Colorado!
I can now picture the nuns going up and down these stairs whereas before I couldn't.
That floor is sooooo awesome!!
With the teamwork, progress is moving right along. What a beautiful reward for a days hard work.
By removing the modern accretions, you are exposing the diamond in the rough! Well done you!
