    Yanis has the strength of ten, he is like a prize whippet and such a hard worker. He deserves a pay rise and a permanent contract.

    What a HARD WORKING Team you have. Yanis goes at it like a man driven, so much energy. He seems much less shy. Rick and your Dad round thing out nicely making everything flow so well. Great progress in 1 day!!!!

    @elisabethbenders-hyde5286 Před měsícem +32

    All Yannis needs to learn now is the admin side of a contracting business and you will have set him up for life. While working with you he has learned so many aspects of the building and construction business. Well done.

    I was always taught to say, "Service Floor" instead of basement, if that was where the help worked. A basement wouldn't have kitchens, pantries, sculleries, wine cellars, etc

    My lord, Yannis is relentless & strong... just... wow. Plenty of hard work to go around for sure. Rick contributes so much with his hard work & solid ethic, and the hours your dad has put in over the years both shows & impresses. Billy, you are always a favorite as well. You have put in the lion's share of hours here and I love both what you are doing & how you are getting it done (as well as how you share it with us). Thank you again!

    Glad to see the progress on the Refectory and upstairs! Glad to see Rick & Yanis wearing their protective gear. CZcams has been showing me some older videos of yours, Billy, and you once told Simon if he didn't wear the reflective vest he had to go home. He almost went home, but everyone put on their reflective vests to clear out upstairs. Where were those vests today? I waved at your dad, too!

    It's funny looking at this video while being just a short drive away from you, in an hotel room in Mayenne ! As I was looking at maps of ancient celtic and roman remains of the region in the Jublains museum earlier today I wondered if you had anything in either of your properties, given that a number of elements were found in and around Ermée !

      Honestly, when he first showed up, I thought ,"what's the deal here". He looked so small and skinny and weak...but he obviously has determination as over the course of his stay he has packed on some serious muscle and developed some serious skills... he is a dynamo.

    Fantastic work and even more fantastic to see the removal of the half window - what on earth were the previous owners (whoever they were) thinking by putting a half window in - most bizarre. Love the phrase "convent is going on a diet" brilliant along with the "smiling beam" - keep them coming. Love this channel always so interest and fabulous music. Well done all.

    I once lived in a Victorian house in London and the upstairs residents washing machine leaked and all the water disappeared into the floor.
