      Simon IS a wonderful teacher, and Yanis is an excellent student. The best of teachers can’t do so much with an unmotivated student. And when they started, Yanis had very little English, while Simon’s French was no better. Teaching a trade across a language across a language barrier, to this level of skill is an amazing accomplishment.🖤🇨🇦

    I would imagine the curves in the ceiling would be a challenge for the best of plasterers. The kitchen is looking amazing.

    So exciting to see the kitchen restored and a water tight roof over it. What a great space to have back in use, well done.

    Yannis has done an amazing job. I do like seeing Michael back on camera and I’m enjoying the mix of convent-chateau-convent. 👍

    As much as I enjoy seeing what everyone is doing at the chateau and the convent I look forward to hearing the varied music Billy puts with the videos today's went beautifully with Yannis plastering the ceiling 😊

    I just can’t find the right superlative words to describe the improvement in this kitchen! I hope Yanis goes to bed feeling like a million bucks every day!

    I have to say, I’m really enjoying the diversity of the videos more recently. I get to enjoy the convent, the chateau bedrooms etc and the old kitchen. Thank you guys for being so entertaining. It’s particularly great to see more of Michael and his talents. All the best from Lincolnshire UK . 🥰

    Hard work plastering that ceiling. Excellent job Yanis. The terrace has been a massive job, hopefully you won’t have to do it again in your lifetime.

    Yannis is one quick study and turning into a true craftsman in his own right.

    You could do with something like a piping bag to get the grout in the gaps on the terrace Michael, then all you’d have to do is smooth over the top 😊

    Yannis is doing an amazing job plastering the kitchen ceiling. The fact it is a curved ceiling makes it even more stunning on how well a job he is doing. i am truly impressed at his skill. Simon taught him well.

    Simon has reason to be proud; Yanis is demonstrating many of the well developed hand movements and trowel controls that we saw as Simon caressed the walls at the Convent. Btw, Yanis is pretty spectacular himself, bringing lots of energy and intelligence to the work. Well, it's his now and well it should be. The kitchen, as dreary and sank as it was is coming on to gorgeous too! Yanis' plaster work and the iron work all cleaned and painted has made a new place of it- Michael gest some credit- it's his knees that have drudged the "roof" to reseal it's many leaks!

    Plastering the curved ceiling is one of the most difficult things to do Yaniss you master it

  • @brittawrolson5936
    @brittawrolson5936 Před 11 dny

    The neck breaking job doing ceiling plastering is so difficult. Yannis must be incredibly fit to maintain that pace. Lovely to see the comraderie between Michael, Yannis, Rick and Billy as they work. Michael’s laugh is just priceless ❤️🤗

    Michael, I think they need to be painted a contrasting color as well. Too easy to miss them and crash into them if the columns are the same color as the tiles.
