It was nice of you & Simon to give Yanis well deserved praise for all his hard work, all the knowledge and skills he has retained and Yanis's work ethic! It is such a joy to watch him and see his progress. Wish we could have more of a background on Yanis. He appears to be a very interesting person.
If I recollect correctly, Yanis is a friend of Moe’s (Billy’s sister, Sadie’s, boyfriend) and they are both originally from Algiers (?) and French is their first language. Moe and Yanis work and lived at the Chateau. They were on a few of Sadie’s vlogs awhile back and she introduced Yanis and gave a little bit of info about him. That’s all I remember.
Yanis is like a little whippet, he deserves all the praises from Simon and Billy. He is eager to learn & picks things up so quickly, despite the language barrier. Would love to see Yanis take over the restoration of the apartment that Billy gave Ryan before he bought his first house. Give Yanis something to do in his spare time and put his own stamp on the apartment,showing everyone just how much he has learnt from Billy, Simon and the gang.
I really love it when Billy talks and explains what's going on, more than I enjoy long stretches of stretches of silent workvvideos. That's just me maybe. But I do enjoy hearing him. They are all kind, pleasant fellows. How lucky we are to have them!
Me too! No disrespect to the artistry of the editing but less slow motion cinematography would be my preference too once in a while. Both are beautiful.
I like both to be honest , I love seeing the lads work and the tips that Simon gives us .. sometimes I do laugh at the really dramatic suspenseful music and think to myself , omg this is the most dramatic chalking around the windows and ozmoing of cabinets I ever saw 😅😅 the anticipation of it all 😂
Your grandparents home is lovely and cosy. I hope Alex enjoys his break, I hope there is nothing wrong with Alex? Yanis has come a long way and I am so glad that Simon praises him. Simon and Yanis and your dad work so well together. Great to have Simon back.
The wood cases are going to be beautiful in the library. It would be great if any of the nuns were alive to come an see all the things u have done on there old home😊😊😊
Doubt that any of the nuns who lived there are still living, but maybe invite the nuns of the same order that ran the convent. They may also have information/knowledge on the daily living style, etc.
Yes, Billy certainly has an eye for auction buys. And I love that he is finding a use for these amazing pieces of antique craftsmanship rather than see them be overlooked or discarded. The convent is going to be a work of art when Billy finishes it although I somehow think it may be his lifelong project. Love his vision and work ethic! 💪🏻💪🏻🏆❤️👏🏻👏🏻
Yannis is very lucky to be mentored by you and Simon. He is a hard worker too! I think your grandparents have raised a fabulous family , all with a strong work ethic and skill sets! I hope all is well with Alex, he is also a very talented videographer.
Those display cases will make a great addition to the library! You’ve got so many projects started, you may need a larger team to complete them! Do you have any more family or friends you can recruit to help you? I would love to see the chapel ceiling restoration begin, and I can’t wait to see how the library turns out! Simon and Yannis are doing a great job at your grandparent’s house. That cove molding is stunning!
You do a fantastic job of making the videos, Billy! It makes much more work for you, but you just keep Cracking On! I love seeing Simon and Yanis working together so smoothly. You are all wonderful lads! Grand dad must be so proud and grateful to have you all.
The grandparents’s house will look splendid and cozy very soon. It is amazing how quickly and expertly Simon and Yanis get the job done! Well deserved praise.
The view from the back of the hallway at the convent to the front gate is going to be something special when it is all finished. As a former librarian, it is great to see those beautiful book stands ready to go into the convent. No doubt you will end up with some rare books and those stands will be perfect for looking at them. Don’t forget the white cotton gloves.
Thank you for pointing that out to me. A search of Google Scholar brought up a number of recent research papers on the topic of gloves or no gloves. Quite a lot of debate on the issue actually. Worth a read and there would be more information in other databases. Obviously, a subject of study on its own. Something for another forum.
It was so nice of you and Simon to give Yannis well deserved compliments. You both gave him an amazing opportunity to learn many skills, and he took the opportunity and made the most of it. Your grandparents house is lovely. The crown molding in the living room looks great and the flooring being consistent into the hallway is going to make the house more modern and fresh!! xx
I absolutely love that you and Simon took Yanis under your wings, his learning and skills will last him his lifetime… I feel those are the things we all should do teach others what we know to leave the world a better place… thank you Billy for taking us on your journey…
I, too, would love to see a recap (of sorts) about Yanis - how he came to be working with you, etc. He’s a lovely chap… always so cheerful and has come to be one of my favorites on your channel.
Nice buy on the book cases for the library Billy you always find some quality goods. Nice work Simon and the new expert on renovations Yanis. Looking forward to seeing the hallway finished . Loved watching. Crack ON😘
Billy’s neatness and attention to a clean, organized workspace make me feel calm and reassured somehow 🤪. Messy and disorganized workers cause me a bit of stress ……..strange I know, but it’s part of the huge appeal of your videos to me 🤗
@@tinycotswoldcottage Agreed. Now we have longer periods of on-site sounds and noises, the way every workday goes on a renovation site. This lends an immediacy to the videos and holds my attention longer. In Alex' (beautifully-filmed) videos and the lengthy music sections I had begun skipping ahead to where someone is talking. Solely a personal preference.
Love Alex. I really like watching the manual labor and bullwork without commentary with the great added with music. I have watched every wall,brick and bit of mud would have missed that if it was all chat
@@Django44 I have been doing the skipping ahead thing too. I love Alex's filming but I would prefer them to be edited much shorter. Yesterday, it felt like we were watching the laying of a whole floor in real time with little edited out. I would have preferred to have just watched the highlights of the process and the wonderful information Simon shared.
I am a bit different….I like the way Alex is doing, listen to Billy all the time. But skip Simons talking as I find he repeats a lot of information that Billy says. And talks like we are all just learning things like a young student. We are not Yannis, we don’t need to be told how to do evert stroke.
Your videography skills are excellent, Billy. And we will all be kept up with the progress on your grandparents' house & the convent! Glad you said what a lot of us have been writing: Yanis has grown in skill & confidence. The more he learns, the faster he learns! Great team. & I enjoy Ryan's weekly vlogs with Nick Moon.
The display cases look beautiful. I was thinking when I first saw them that some of the objects you have discovered at the convent would look lovely displayed in the cases, which you mentioned right afterward. I love the fact that Simon and Yannis are together again. Simon's so wonderful and patient as he explains how to do a task, and Yannis has learned so much from him, and from you, Mick and the others, and you can see how much confidence he is developing in his skills and how eager he is to learn more. I wish I had a few people like him at my job! Simon and Yannis are doing a wonderful job at your grandparents' home. It's a lovely place.
This is just a suggestion for when the Convent's renovations are nearing completion - any sooner than that would just be asking for accidental damage whilst there's constant movement in and out of materials, tools, & furniture. That beautiful granite flagstone floor which you so lovingly restored Billy, would be beautifully complimented by some antique wooden panelling up to approximately the 5-6' mark, and I think that if you were able to get your paws on enough of it, carrying it on into the reception area would tie the whole look of the entrance in nicely.
Billy’s gonna be busy building my version of heaven which is a big olde library with beautiful books ❤ cannot wait for it. Honestly , it’s going to be amazing !
BILLY! Are you sure you want to put up the plaster board with all the material and furniture coming through with the other builds in progress! Might get a lot of dings and dongs …
Exquisite cabinet/ bookcases display units! Very lucky to get them Your Grandparents are important! It’s cold and they need to be in their house settled
Two things about the floating LVL floor: 1. In the last video, I saw you left expansion joints almost all the way around, but you butted it right up against the other floor in one spot. Are you sure that won't cause problems? I believe best practice is to still leave a bit of a gap and just cover it with a wider transition strip 2. You said you're going to have it flow through the rooms - I've seen it work sometimes, but I've also seen it buckle up when done in larger swathes, especially in older buidlings where the temperature and moisture are more variable. Please consider putting in a few expansion joints with transition strips where the doorways are!
The cabinets from the library are a great way to display your detecting finds. We have a smaller version with our detecting finds in it it's a great way to protect the relics and view them well done mate.
By the looks of it Billy, looks like the family has made Yannis an honorary member. 😍😍😍I think it so great that everyone is over helping your grandparents. With so many splintered families it is great to see some that still hold onto the value of the family.
Quite the team the three of you + Alex for filming. Was wondering when the hallway would get finished up and will enjoy watching the process. I've a similar stone floor and will be delighted to get some tips from The Pethericks on how to seal mine. Cracking on myself with a few projects about the house.
The wood cases what a find but then again you always seem to find great things. Your grandparents place is coming along, I love their fireplace. Will miss Alex but you do great too.
Hey Billy! Great work! Yanis has come a very long way under you, Simon & your Dad! ... a quick suggestion, though, since you are splitting your videos between your Grandparents house and the convent ... perhaps you could set up some sort of small camera, at your grandparents, to film them there, whilst you're at the convent ... something that wouldn't get in their way, but, you can still get some footage of the stuff you missed?
That is a lot of display cases! I assume you all either collect books or are planning to collect books because that is a lot to fill up. But a few would be awesome to display some of the stuff you found in and around the convent. As a total bibliophile I am jealous, that is going to be an amazing library setup.
That Crown Moulding looks really nice. We need to do that in our homes. I think crown moulding and chair railing completes a room. Don’t know what those things are called over there.
Those display cases will be a beautiful asset to the library and the convent as well. Simon and Yanis are doing great at your grand parents house. It will look great when it is done. Mean while back at the convent progress is happening as well: the hallway. This is all going to be beautiful when completed from what I can tell. Have a wonderful day
Billy, you really have a vision. What luck to acquire those display stands. Excellent for the convent. I was thinking the other day, if you were at all interested in getting the wood from the walls, carbon dated. And saving some pieces for display. Even saving a wall section, for educational purposes. Just a thought, but you know what you want.
The hallway is going to o look great once you've put in the insulation, wallboard and on to plastering. 😄 Your grand parents living room and hallway next. How I love a fireplace in winter.
Love this channel been here since day one ! Going to miss Alex his longer videos are nice Sorry Billy I know it's alot of work doing all the work plus editing Just glad you do it I love coming home to watch and catch up on every one's progress 😊
I seem to be more excited about the entrance hall than the kitchen! I believe it has everything to do with the restoration and improvements to stone floor 🥰🥰 I still feel a thrill every time I see the little ramps you made ❤❤ and the steps to the basement. Every time someone records walking into that hall.... I feel HOME 😊🥰🙏❤️
More questions: Who's doing all the cataloging and registering of books and artifacts? What kinds of books are wanted? Will it be a temperature set environment? Who's going to be the librarian?
@janetpendlebury6808 most books of value and age are kept in temperature set environment to save them from ruin. But, I was joking lol because their building of a library is coincidental of me having just watched episodes of The Librarian lol 😆
Beautiful work where ever you go! Thank you for the videos. Maybe keep your eyes open for real wood cupboards for the kitchen . Marble countertops and maybe a heavy butcher block would transform your kitchen from ikea to magnificence
You obviously haven't seen the kitchen renovation videos. The carcasses are already in the kitchen and we are waiting for the oak door fronts and oak worktops to arrive along with the belfast sinks. I don't know if there will be a butchers block, but there is going to be a wine chiller. Much more useful! Cheers ! 🍾
I adore watching every single piece of the community you are building…and these simply to the point dailies are wonderful because they showcase the hive of activity you have going on around you on a daily basis and just how busy you actually are which sometimes gets lost in the ‘cinematography’ of Alex’s wonderful productions! Having said that I’m pretty sure we would all happily sit & watch you peel a tonne of bananas because you have the knack of making everything look interesting..and that is because everything in your world no matter how small is vastly important because you are building a lifestyle and community piece by piece that we would all adore to be able to have! The world you are creating for your family is a credit, and your children are so blessed as are everyone in this beautiful community….which we get to be a part of, thank you!
It was nice of you & Simon to give Yanis well deserved praise for all his hard work, all the knowledge and skills he has retained and Yanis's work ethic! It is such a joy to watch him and see his progress. Wish we could have more of a background on Yanis. He appears to be a very interesting person.
Yanis might want to keep his life private
He's become exceedingly adorable in his progress too 😄😁😊🥰
Give Yannis his privacy. He’s praised if you listen.
If I recollect correctly, Yanis is a friend of Moe’s (Billy’s sister, Sadie’s, boyfriend) and they are both originally from Algiers (?) and French is their first language. Moe and Yanis work and lived at the Chateau. They were on a few of Sadie’s vlogs awhile back and she introduced Yanis and gave a little bit of info about him. That’s all I remember.
It truely is nice to see men build up other men. Also refreshing to see the multi generational family pull together. .
Yanis is like a little whippet, he deserves all the praises from Simon and Billy. He is eager to learn & picks things up so quickly, despite the language barrier. Would love to see Yanis take over the restoration of the apartment that Billy gave Ryan before he bought his first house. Give Yanis something to do in his spare time and put his own stamp on the apartment,showing everyone just how much he has learnt from Billy, Simon and the gang.
This is a great idea ❤❤
So glad grandparents will be near- I would like to see a pic of four generations of gentlemen (hint)
Gonna miss Alex! He gives Billy more time to get in the mix of things with his hands free . Yanis and Simon great job at grandma and grandpa’s house !
Your grandparents home is beautiful and cozy.
Those book display cases are absolutely stunning. That library is going to be incredibly gorgeous.
I really love it when Billy talks and explains what's going on, more than I enjoy long stretches of stretches of silent workvvideos. That's just me maybe. But I do enjoy hearing him. They are all kind, pleasant fellows. How lucky we are to have them!
Were you just reading my mind? Short sweet and less of the arty stuff.
With ya. I like Billy’s style. I’m here for the content.
Me too! No disrespect to the artistry of the editing but less slow motion cinematography would be my preference too once in a while. Both are beautiful.
I like both to be honest , I love seeing the lads work and the tips that Simon gives us .. sometimes I do laugh at the really dramatic suspenseful music and think to myself , omg this is the most dramatic chalking around the windows and ozmoing of cabinets I ever saw 😅😅 the anticipation of it all 😂

Billy, I so admire your habit of starting with a clean work area and tidying up at the end of each work day.
Oh the cove molding looks lovely in your grandparents home. It adds so much to a space.
The wood cases are going to be beautiful in the library. It would be great if any of the nuns were alive to come an see all the things u have done on there old home😊😊😊
Doubt that any of the nuns who lived there are still living, but maybe invite the nuns of the same order that ran the convent. They may also have information/knowledge on the daily living style, etc.
I thought that would be nice as well.
The cabinets are awesome! I love that you can use them all through out the convent! Great find! Poor Simon and his eye!
Yes, Billy certainly has an eye for auction buys. And I love that he is finding a use for these amazing pieces of antique craftsmanship rather than see them be overlooked or discarded. The convent is going to be a work of art when Billy finishes it although I somehow think it may be his lifelong project. Love his vision and work ethic! 💪🏻💪🏻🏆❤️👏🏻👏🏻
Billy, I've been missing your videos. The best!
Can't wait to see the hallway completed! And, your grandparent's home, too!
Short, direct and daily videos will be much appreciated 😊
Well done. We mill miss the longer videos (and Alex), but are still grateful you bring us along for the journey❣️
Yannis is very lucky to be mentored by you and Simon. He is a hard worker too! I think your grandparents have raised a fabulous family , all with a strong work ethic and skill sets! I hope all is well with Alex, he is also a very talented videographer.

Gorgeous display cases. Your library will be a marvelous place.
Such exciting things happening. I 💕 it. Simon is a wizard of building and Yannis is a ball of energy.
You do a fantastic job of making the videos, Billy! It makes much more work for you, but you just keep Cracking On! I love seeing Simon and Yanis working together so smoothly. You are all wonderful lads! Grand dad must be so proud and grateful to have you all.
Those cabinets are very special. They will fit perfectly in the library.
Billy, u r such a pleasure 😊 I find you more yourself when u film yourself 😘 thanks for sharing with us! ❤ even if only briefly 😍
The grandparents’s house will look splendid and cozy very soon. It is amazing how quickly and expertly Simon and Yanis get the job done! Well deserved praise.
So sweet helping your grandparents 😊
Great video on the current progress of both places. Love the grandparents home. Lucky for them to have such skilled helpers.
Thank you Billy!
And Simon and Yanis. ❤
Wow i love your Grandparents cottage, it looks great.
The view from the back of the hallway at the convent to the front gate is going to be something special when it is all finished.

That fireplace is stunning at the Grand's, looks so cozy...you never cease to amaze with your awesome vintage finds...very cool...!
So glad to see you Billy!!!! I love and so appreciate your videos!!
I, too, would love to see a recap (of sorts) about Yanis - how he came to be working with you, etc. He’s a lovely chap… always so cheerful and has come to be one of my favorites on your channel.
I'm happy to see your shiner is healing nicely.
Wow, Billy the display cabinets are a wonderful catch, looking forward to seeing them in the convent.
Nice buy on the book cases for the library Billy you always find some quality goods. Nice work Simon and the new expert on renovations Yanis. Looking forward to seeing the hallway finished . Loved watching. Crack ON😘
I like your videos the best! You do a great job!!
Agreed!!!!

Alex is very skilled and makes beautiful videos, but honestly, Billy, I like how you do it better. Very well made and to the point.
I agree. I enjoy the shorter films with less music and more talking.
@@tinycotswoldcottage Agreed. Now we have longer periods of on-site sounds and noises, the way every workday goes on a renovation site.

Grat little vlog, Billy. Simon's praise of, Yannis was lovely to hear. The lad is a great apprentice to Simon's excellent mentoring.
The book storage are beautiful wood ,what a nice find❤
Always great to see everyone and their accomplishments. Never a disappointment from these incredibly talented and skilled super stars. 👏👏👏👏👏 🌟
Love the wood cases. Everyone is cracking on ❤
Always ahead of our comments! Mention displaying things and you purchased these a month ago!
Ooooh lovely fireplace. It really is looking lovely. Love those big windows.
❤ Simon and Yanis.
Your videography skills are excellent, Billy. And we will all be kept up with the progress on your grandparents' house & the convent!
Glad you said what a lot of us have been writing: Yanis has grown in skill & confidence. The more he learns, the faster he learns!
Great team.
& I enjoy Ryan's weekly vlogs with Nick Moon.

Simon and Yannis are doing a wonderful job at your grandparents' home. It's a lovely place.
You do love to shop. I admire that. Making great progress!
I might add that Billy researches and looks for exactly what he has in mind and a superbly fine eye he has.‼️
You all don't waste a second. The new display cases are great. Thanks for adding the music listing.
The hallway done would be great. Really looking forward to the doors! Love seeing your progress at both locations.
Yes. ; looking forward to seeing it the hall done. How is Simon's house going, if at all. I know it's been cold there.
This is just a suggestion for when the Convent's renovations are nearing completion - any sooner than that would just be asking for accidental damage whilst there's constant movement in and out of materials, tools, & furniture. That beautiful granite flagstone floor which you so lovingly restored Billy, would be beautifully complimented by some antique wooden panelling up to approximately the 5-6' mark, and I think that if you were able to get your paws on enough of it, carrying it on into the reception area would tie the whole look of the entrance in nicely.
Billy’s gonna be busy building my version of heaven which is a big olde library with beautiful books ❤ cannot wait for it. Honestly , it’s going to be amazing !
BILLY! Are you sure you want to put up the plaster board with all the material and furniture coming through with the other builds in progress! Might get a lot of dings and dongs …
Should be alright! there’s another door into the refectory which is closer plus we generally pass stuff through the windows as it’s faster.
Excited to see all the progress!
Quelle belle trouvaille
Exquisite cabinet/ bookcases display units! Very lucky to get them
Your Grandparents are important! It’s cold and they need to be in their house settled
I love seeing the progress. I can’t wait to see the house for the grandparents done it’s so pretty already. You are all doing an amazing job.
Two things about the floating LVL floor:
1. In the last video, I saw you left expansion joints almost all the way around, but you butted it right up against the other floor in one spot. Are you sure that won't cause problems? I believe best practice is to still leave a bit of a gap and just cover it with a wider transition strip
2. You said you're going to have it flow through the rooms - I've seen it work sometimes, but I've also seen it buckle up when done in larger swathes, especially in older buidlings where the temperature and moisture are more variable. Please consider putting in a few expansion joints with transition strips where the doorways are!
Grandpa's house looks wonderful! And it was done so quickly and by professionals!❤
They're beautiful and just perfect for the Convent.
The cabinets from the library are a great way to display your detecting finds. We have a smaller version with our detecting finds in it it's a great way to protect the relics and view them well done mate.
By the looks of it Billy, looks like the family has made Yannis an honorary member. 😍😍😍I think it so great that everyone is over helping your grandparents. With so many splintered families it is great to see some that still hold onto the value of the family.

So many lovely projects to look forward to! The fire at the grandparents was so inviting.
The wood cases what a find but then again you always seem to find great things.
Your grandparents place is coming along, I love their fireplace.
Will miss Alex but you do great too.
Love the new (old) display shelves. Great job with the video! They are doing a great job with the house. Loving the variety!!!
Hey Billy! Great work! Yanis has come a very long way under you, Simon & your Dad! ... a quick suggestion, though, since you are splitting your videos between your Grandparents house and the convent ... perhaps you could set up some sort of small camera, at your grandparents, to film them there, whilst you're at the convent ... something that wouldn't get in their way, but, you can still get some footage of the stuff you missed?
That library is going to be so beautiful. It's always exciting to watch what is next. So look forward to each new video!
That is a lot of display cases! I assume you all either collect books or are planning to collect books because that is a lot to fill up. But a few would be awesome to display some of the stuff you found in and around the convent. As a total bibliophile I am jealous, that is going to be an amazing library setup.
I'm so jealous that you have those library boxes - they will look fab 😊
Cardinal Richelieu was a fascinating man in French history.
Love the new purchases for the Library etc., Yanis and Simon.....what a team!!!! You are a wonderful teacher Simon and Yanis the perfect subject.
The display cases are awesome and will be an incredible addition to the future library!
Thanks for sharing always enjoy the shopping well done on the cabinets
Great filming, great music x
Poor old Simon must have gone a cropper he really has a shinner. Great job lads coming along
That Crown Moulding looks really nice. We need to do that in our homes. I think crown moulding and chair railing completes a room. Don’t know what those things are called over there.
I think I am very excited to see this area come alive or be finished and ready for doors. Every phase is interesting.
Those display cases will be a beautiful asset to the library and the convent as well. Simon and Yanis are doing great at your grand parents house. It will look great when it is done. Mean while back at the convent progress is happening as well: the hallway. This is all going to be beautiful when completed from what I can tell. Have a wonderful day
Those cabinets are amazing! Retired librarian here and so excited for the library transformation!
Wonderful episode! Thank you all very much! Very much enjoyed this. Love seeing the big blue lift being driven around. Be well, stay safe all. 😊💞🥰
Billy, you really have a vision. What luck to acquire those display stands. Excellent for the convent. I was thinking the other day, if you were at all interested in getting the wood from the walls, carbon dated. And saving some pieces for display. Even saving a wall section, for educational purposes. Just a thought, but you know what you want.
The display cases are PERFECT!
Your videos are awesome Billie, great to have you back filming :)
Plenty going on then Billy. Doing a great job. The bookcases look like a great buy and asset to the Covent. Great filming too. Stay well.
I stand corrected. Love the Bluegrass Billy!!
The hallway is going to o look great once you've put in the insulation, wallboard and on to plastering.
😄 Your grand parents living room and hallway next. How I love a fireplace in winter.
I was hoping for some sort of library reading desk-like item - those book displays are awesome! 🤩📚
Very, very nice Billy!
Another one man job by Billy!!
Love this channel been here since day one !
Going to miss Alex his longer videos are nice
Sorry Billy I know it's alot of work doing all the work plus editing
Just glad you do it
I love coming home to watch and catch up on every one's progress 😊
I seem to be more excited about the entrance hall than the kitchen! I believe it has everything to do with the restoration and improvements to stone floor 🥰🥰 I still feel a thrill every time I see the little ramps you made ❤❤ and the steps to the basement. Every time someone records walking into that hall.... I feel HOME 😊🥰🙏❤️
Great displays for the library, many uses for those glazed enclosures keeping fingers off frail pages.
That was the cleanest organized demo I have ever seen! Great job on it. Also very happy fir the friends you have made there.
More questions: Who's doing all the cataloging and registering of books and artifacts? What kinds of books are wanted? Will it be a temperature set environment? Who's going to be the librarian?
@janetpendlebury6808 most books of value and age are kept in temperature set environment to save them from ruin. But, I was joking lol because their building of a library is coincidental of me having just watched episodes of The Librarian lol 😆
Beautiful work where ever you go! Thank you for the videos. Maybe keep your eyes open for real wood cupboards for the kitchen . Marble countertops and maybe a heavy butcher block would transform your kitchen from ikea to magnificence
You obviously haven't seen the kitchen renovation videos. The carcasses are already in the kitchen and we are waiting for the oak door fronts and oak worktops to arrive along with the belfast sinks. I don't know if there will be a butchers block, but there is going to be a wine chiller. Much more useful! Cheers ! 🍾
Sorry to see Alex go, but Billy's editing rocks too. Yannis and Simon are a dream team. 🧡
Love the library cabinets 🤗 will miss Alex 🤗Billy love your video as well 🤗👍 Great work everyone 🤗👍🤗👍🤗👍
Love Sue❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
The display cabinets are a great idea. Alex, we will miss you. Great work, all.
I adore watching every single piece of the community you are building…and these simply to the point dailies are wonderful because they showcase the hive of activity you have going on around you on a daily basis and just how busy you actually are which sometimes gets lost in the ‘cinematography’ of Alex’s wonderful productions! Having said that I’m pretty sure we would all happily sit & watch you peel a tonne of bananas because you have the knack of making everything look interesting..and that is because everything in your world no matter how small is vastly important because you are building a lifestyle and community piece by piece that we would all adore to be able to have! The world you are creating for your family is a credit, and your children are so blessed as are everyone in this beautiful community….which we get to be a part of, thank you!
