Have you considered leaving a signed certificate of everyone involved in the rebuild, tucked away in the organ? You were so pleased to find morsels of evidence and it would mark your part in the story. Maybe leave a memory stick and hope that in years to come it can be deciphered.
These vlogs are so much better than watching the telly! Welcome back Alex. Billy that was so funny on the lift off-roading😂. Michael, Nick , Mick, Yanis and Duncan are all amazing xxx💕💕💕
For someone who has never had even the remotest interest in church organs before, I'm totally invested & absorbed in this build. It's fascinating and humbling to watch.
In John Irving’s book, “Until I Find You” I became introduced to the practice of great organists traveling the world to play the great organs. It gave me the opportunity to converse with our church organist about this ritual, or rights of passage as it might be and he had indeed sought and played many of the grand pipe organs while he was a college student visiting Europe. We have a modest yet robust pipe organ in our own church and when he lets it rip during holidays? It is literally breathtaking. Thank you to everyone involved with this restoration/reclamation- if an award were to be given for fearlessness in tackling a project certainly you and crew deserve to win it, Billy.
And gloves! Michael, you're harming yourself. Do as you please. But any repeated exposure is not good for you. As we grow older you wonder what's that spot or bump there? Well, were in luck! a dermatologist can freeze them or just cut them out. Boy that was uplifting, not!
I am struck by Nick's quiet leadership, very understate; listening well towards others, and has the quiet confidence to rebuilds the organ too its former glory. I'm very impressed.....well done Nick 😊
How fabulous seeing daddy Petherick and his two sons all working on the Convent together. You’re a great man Mick and you did such a good job as a parent! And then there’s the Petherick circle of amazing friends, workers & helpers. Nick you have been invaluable with the deconstruction and reconstruction of the organ. Love watching you and Michael working together under the watchful eye of Pip. Yannis love seeing how your skills have developed and the dedication you give to everything you do. Welcome back Alex now Billy can just crack on! Fabulous memories being made thanks to Billy & Gwendolyn ❤️❤️
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Thanks for allowing us to continue on this journey of restoring the organ in the convent! It is so interesting to see how the organ is put together and also wonderful to have the parts explained as to what their function is. Also, Pip is doing a great job supervising! Looking forward to your book, Michael! Well done EVERYONE! Welcome back, Alex! Mick and Janis are doing a great job clearing the backyard!
I'm sorry Michael but I had to laugh at all the soot! You yelling KEEP IT DOWN, just added to how funny it was. You guys are all fantastic, thanks so much for taking us on this organ journey with you! Also, welcome back Alex🎉
Michael, you should be protecting yourself with a mask and protective eyewear when you are blowing “centuries of dust” around at your face level. Just my two cents worth as a healthcare provider. You are an incredibly gifted young man and no one would want eye or lung injuries to affect you! You and Nick are doing fantastic with the organ. That is a monumental task. Billy, you should get a brass plate for the organ indicating where it was obtained from and list you as the acquiring owner, then Michael & Nick’s names as the restorers of its new placement at the convent. Strong work all of you! Very impressive!
Organist here... been fascinating watching you all move & reassemble that instrument. Since Michael is a technical wiz who exceeded all expectations with that organ rebuild, and since he plays piano and composes- consider putting MIDI key contacts under all keys & pedals and then forgo the actual pipes in lieu of a computer platform called the Hauptwerk system. In the end you will all be much happier with the sound of the organ.
@@TheCaffeinatedOrganist why. It’s a “pipe” organ not an electronic synthesizer. This instrument will be able to play music long after the computer dies or becomes obsolete.
Pip the mouse that Nick's wife, Jenny, made is adorable. She should make some to go with a special edition of Michael's book in a boxed set. It would be a wonderful fund raiser. Not sure how feasible that would be, but I'd buy it.
YANNIS❤❤❤❤, OMG ROFLING, i needed that laughter today!!! Michael and the dust, Billy and the lift, i was crying and howling with fits of laughing out loud. You guys are hysterical. I can only imagine the mischief you all get into with no camera on you. Thank you so much. 😂😂😂❤❤❤
Wow what is there to say. Your kitchen is amazing. We loved watching that all come together. The organ project is so cool to watch. Nick and Michael are so patient and it’s coming it’s coming along. Love the story of Pip the mouse. Nick’s wife did a wonderful job on creating Pip. Jeff and I just love watching your videos and your family members. That’s for sharing. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
I look forward to your videos everyday Billy. Just think. You are working after hundreds of years to bring the covenant back to the glory it once had.The work you and your helpers are doing will be there hundreds of years after you are gone!! Thanks for taking us with you on this incredible journey!!
Thank you Martin for helping the Pethericks rebuild the organ. Pipe Up For Pipe Organs sounds like a great organisation. Welcome back Alex. Great to see you and have your videography talent back. Hello Billy nice to see you in front of the camera. Excellent work Mick on restoring the garden. Thank goodness you gave a digger. Yannis is an outstanding organiser and noticeably a hard worker. He’s not a shirker. Good to see Duncan doing his sparky work. That wall looked exceedingly thick. With out a doubt, Nick and Michael it’s hats off to you. Please take a bow. I’m getting excited because we will be hearing before Christmas I’m sure. Thank you. May you all please take care and stay safe. Louisa. 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩
As an organist who has been part of several organ rebuilding and renovating projects, I can tell that you are going about things in a wonderful and careful way. Congratulations. You'll be very surprised at how much you get done in another week. Assembling the organ is much faster than building one. Once the pipes are in the process of "voicing" them, and tuning will take a while. At least two weeks, depending on what needs to be done. All my best wishes to you and the whole team. This is a magnificent task, and we're all excited to see how it turns out. Are the specifications of the organ available? That is, the names of the stops on the Great, Swell and Pedal. Best wishes always. It's Thanksgiving time for us in the USA. And I give thanks for all of you and your efforts to bring this organ back to life.
Thanks for your wonderful post. I must admit as a piano technician, I did wonder if they could pull this task off. I had my doubts as I willed them on from the sidelines. Their talent and can-do attitude coupled with your expert post has put any doubt I had to bed. Whatever challenges they encounter reassembling this beautiful organ, I'm sure they will be equal to them.
Absolutely no disrespect Billy but Alex’ filming is just so mesmerising. Just love it. So impressed with Michael and Nick they are doing an amazing job. Yanis is so versatile, jack of all trades. What an awesome team you have 💕💕
Michael and Billy you must get in touch with Anna Lapwood who plays the massive organ at the royal Albert Hall and she is also a youtuber I'm sure she would relish the chance to put this beautiful organ through its paces and make the chapel and Ernee resinate with beautiful music and the chapel bell peeling to let the residents know beforehand 👌🏻🔔🎶🎶🎶👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Totally agree. Anna Lapwood is an amazing young woman, and a hugely talented organist and choir director. She is on Facebook and CZcams. Playing this lovely organ in it’s new home would be a wonderful experience for everyone. ❤
Yannis is learning so many things, he's turning into a jack of all trades...and willing to help wherever needed. Nick and Michael are doing a fantastic job. And of course Mick in the garden and Alex on the camera.
I like seeing Pip, I think Micheals story is amazing and clearly a work of love from a creative person. Thanks for sharing this Billie and our best to the crew!
I noticed Michael smiling all through the dusting process. He is in his element! What a beautiful site. Wear a mask and eye protection Michael, that graphite will scratch your eyes and lungs. (Coming from the mother in me.)
The irony of this whole story is, I bet both the craftsmen of then, and the craftsmen of today, would both be in awe of each other. In awe of their tools, their ideas and their workmanship. Good on you for preserving what someone else may see in another hundred years, or more.
You must be so proud of your man! Doing a sterling job with Michael. I love Pip, you have a great talent too, maybe make some to sell with the book? (I understand it's a huge ammount of work, time consuming too with your already busy schedule and kids), maybe train some one to help? Love and Blessings from Amsterdam NL xxx
Go to a computer store and get a vacuum attachment set. It will include small and tiny nozzles that you can put on your vacuum hose so you can reach all of the narrow spaces.
Michael! For Pete's sake, wear a mask!! Eye protection too. Honestly I'm surprised you aren't coughing with all that dust you're breathing in. Safety first, always!
Seriously? It isn't about whether he "feels he needs one" Did you not see all that dust being blown right into his face? Sometimes being tough is, well, stupid.
It brings tears to my eyes that this is happening and so many involved learning and growing through this process, at 74 years old, it warms my heart that so many people are getting involved and the vision of preservation that you are all involved in, god bless you all
That lift was THE best purchase! And there’s no denying that you had fun taking it outside. 🤭 Terrific progress all around! I think your Dad is enjoying himself while doing a great clearing.
This was wonderful! Welcome back Alex! Pops is digging, taking care of roots & did great on camera! And the organ?!. Nick & Mike getting it! Billy, your very successful day is a absolute, pleasurable treat for your viewers! Awesome. ❤Always. Crack On!
Billy and his lift, so comical,thanks Alex for capturing his conversation.Convent is just buzzing with all the men doing ,doing ,doing or a major CRACK ON day😂
Good old Alex. So glad he's back to enable us to have much longer videos as Billy was always too busy. As usual, comes up with a great idea for raising the bellows! Heath Robinson, eat your heart out!!
That trench at the convent gates could really use some top up repair😳 fun watching the whole lift movement into the chapel,Billie. The energy in the chapel is palpable to all of us watching! Mick and Yannis are making huge strides clearing up the back garden area. 👍🏻
Watching your father dig in the gardens and remembering that you said you wanted to open them up to the public, I had an idea for you. A community garden. This would allow people to grow vegetables and fruit for the future growth of the community and working the soil is very calming as well. It would also help teach the children a better way of life. We have them over here and usually near churches. Just a thought. Great work today guys. Everyone seems upbeat and uplifted as well. Have a great day
You’re brilliant Billy - not just with your inventive skill to make the tool if you don’t have it, but modest enough to stand back and give the limelight to others whilst you provide the wherewithal for these dreams to be fulfilled. 👏
Everyone has been so industrious. It is so inspiring to see the enthusiasm and dedication to the project! I feel so lucky to follow even a few minutes of your efforts.
Martin Renshaw is a Treasure! So glad he came! Wonderful work Nick and Michael- and Alex for filming, Billy, Yannis and father Pretherick!this is soooo wonderful to follow, Thank you all sooo Much! 😄🇸🇪
Teamwork is vitally important!You are all doing such an incredible job putting this Antique Organ back together and giving it a great home and future.Organ music 🎼 is very healing ❤️🩹 the World needs more organ Music 🎼……Thank You so very much for taking this Organ and reconditioning it and reconstructing ……Billy and the team all have big Hearts 🥰 again Thank You 🙏 all
Welcome back, Alex, and thank you for the longer video. Lots of interesting progress with the organ today. Great to see Martin sharing his expertise. Billy - I wanted you to go up to the bakery on the lift, but perhaps it wouldn’t be allowed on the pavement 😂. Terrifying to see how high it will go. Mick may well get the whole garden cleared whilst no one is watching. You need to get the car park access sorted, and get a tractor/trailer to take away all the rubble/garden waste. Yannis is truly multi-talented. Michael & Nick - I expect to see you wearing eye protection, masks and gloves (have you got the box of black gloves somewhere?) tomorrow.
Michael and Billy, you should change your name from Pethericks to Patience. ☺️. You both are so gifted and hardworking 💗. The guys are doing an amazing job. Crack on!
I love the organ rebuild! And Mama Moon’s mouse is wonderful and how Michael’s story about Pip in falling to placed in such an interesting way with little bit and pieces of truth and imagination!👍🏻✌🏻💞😊 And of course Crack On!!
It has been truly wonderful to be able to watch dismantling and rebuilding of this organ. So many people to thank for their help and support. Also...Welcome back Alex! And, a nod to Nick...as I was showing this video to my husband, he picked up right away on your John Deere jacket. My husband worked 42 years for Deere😊
@23:40 yes, we all need to go back to church. We are slowly losing the battle against evil, I for one will be more conscious about doing so. We need God now, more than ever. Peace be on to you all.
Amazing build of the organ with the darling Michael (please wear a mask and protective eye gear, that can’t be good for your lungs and eyes sweetness), Nick and the organ builder. Love seeing Mick tackling the garden, Yannis hard at work keeping everything tidy and in order so all works flow and let’s not forget Alex is back (Yay!) and Billy is in front of the camera and back cracking on with the kitchen. Lol ☺️ Such a wonderful talented bunch‼️💯✨♥️🙏🏼
Very emotional when the organ was being dismantled and now again as it is being rebuilt. Alex doing superb cinematography/music as always. I especially love the non-verbal segments and just music playing while team is working. Really enjoyed watching Billy having some fun on his blue lift and very creative workaround getting the lift in and out of the convent/chapel. Cheers to all the team!
Another fab vlog... great to see everyone getting on with it. Welcome back, Alex!😁 NICK, you're a natural behind the camera. 🥰 Thanks Billy, for giving us a glimpse into your world. 🩷
Love the hoodie Billy has on. Great progress, so exciting to see all of the activity. Kudos to Michael and Nick, great team. So great the organ builder could come by to lend his expertise. ❤❤
@merrileeheard3889 I have one of those as well. But just for looks. It has a Crack. My mom bought me an amazing electric drill, sander, etc but I do everything by hand and with my little screwdriver. 🤣
@@cynthiamclaughlin5178 I have my wonderful, cordless electric drill, but I still use my "egg beater" drill for craft projects. It's perfect for drilling holes in sea shells. I've been using power tools since I was 6!!
What a busy and productive day you've all had. I'm just enjoying getting to watch all of the goings on. May sound odd, but I wish I could be there in the thick of it... keeping busy with all the projects, working with your hands, and getting tangible things done. Very satisfying. Glad to have you back Alex, you've been missed!!
Wow! I was dumbfounded by the size of the Air Box (bellows?). I am awestruck at the magnitude of this restoration. Michael, next time you are blowing 150yr old dust, please wear a mask and eye protection, you are precious and valuable. Loved Mommy Moons Pip sitting in the organ. God bless you all!
I just love how you guys problem solve. The blue lift was genius! How special it was to have the pipe organ building specialist to assist Michael and Mr. Moon since Father Paul can't be there. I was surprised that the bellows leather is white, but how cool that the black marks on the old leather helped with finding the holes and torn bits to repair. This was a wonderful and fascinating video. Thanks!
Billy you could start building a business relationship with the local businesses in the town while you're doing up the convent and fund some of the renovations with summer events in the convent courtyard or gardens when they are finished or even hire out the chapel for local events .
Good one Billy!! Another sincere professional in your cluster of wonderful people all restoring this Convent 🥰 Thank you for sharing this organ's journey from the UK to the Convent 😇
This is an exciting time at the convent. So great to see so much going on. Great fun for me to follow it all. I find myself impatient to see the next episode.
Michael, I do believe you and your Pip will become the next Beatrice Potter and Peter Rabbit. What a series to look forward to and you are the man for the job❤ . Can't wait to read your first book to my 5 year old Grandson!
Wonderful work you are doing on the reconstruction of the beautiful organ. "Pip" the mouse is just too cute!! Any chance you could have more made and have them for sale. I would buy one and also one of the paintings of "Pip" Good luck with all your endeavors
Have you considered leaving a signed certificate of everyone involved in the rebuild, tucked away in the organ? You were so pleased to find morsels of evidence and it would mark your part in the story. Maybe leave a memory stick and hope that in years to come it can be deciphered.
Great idea!
What a nice idea!
Love that idea!
Time capsule inside would be great. When we did rework we got a pvc pipe with caps on both ends
That is age-old tradition to and something Latin like "Fecit" = He made + name + date.
These vlogs are so much better than watching the telly! Welcome back Alex. Billy that was so funny on the lift off-roading😂. Michael, Nick , Mick, Yanis and Duncan are all amazing xxx💕💕💕
I unsubscribed to cable years ago and prefer CZcams vlogs!
Yes Billy’s vlogs are so much better 😂x
I agree just wish they were longer lol I get upset when they finish.
Me too, so I just keep re watching it x😂
For someone who has never had even the remotest interest in church organs before, I'm totally invested & absorbed in this build. It's fascinating and humbling to watch.
In John Irving’s book, “Until I Find You” I became introduced to the practice of great organists traveling the world to play the great organs. It gave me the opportunity to converse with our church organist about this ritual, or rights of passage as it might be and he had indeed sought and played many of the grand pipe organs while he was a college student visiting Europe. We have a modest yet robust pipe organ in our own church and when he lets it rip during holidays? It is literally breathtaking. Thank you to everyone involved with this restoration/reclamation- if an award were to be given for fearlessness in tackling a project certainly you and crew deserve to win it, Billy.
Yes, I do think that you guys should get an award for what you have done and are doing, you all so deserve it! xxx
I remember Diane Bish, an organist, doing this very thing. I hope I spelled her name correctly.
good gracious someone give Michael a dusk mask and some safety glasses!
that dust can be a serious health issue. Fungal spores and similar.
My thoughts exactly!
Guys I think Michael has a mind of his own ❤😮
I just read about a person really getting infected eyes from cleaning a hoarder house
And gloves! Michael, you're harming yourself. Do as you please. But any repeated exposure is not good for you. As we grow older you wonder what's that spot or bump there? Well, were in luck! a dermatologist can freeze them or just cut them out. Boy that was uplifting, not!
agreed
I am struck by Nick's quiet leadership, very understate; listening well towards others, and has the quiet confidence to rebuilds the organ too its former glory. I'm very impressed.....well done Nick 😊
So considerate, isn’t he? So much like Simon who we all await to return in the new year🥰
I already knew this, but, WOW, organs are complicated! Kudos to Michael for his patience and stick-to-it-iveness.
How fabulous seeing daddy Petherick and his two sons all working on the Convent together. You’re a great man Mick and you did such a good job as a parent! And then there’s the Petherick circle of amazing friends, workers & helpers. Nick you have been invaluable with the deconstruction and reconstruction of the organ.

Welcome back Alex now Billy can just crack on!
Fabulous memories being made thanks to Billy & Gwendolyn ❤️❤️
I don't know why I haven't noticed how beautiful those chapel doors are.They are gorgeous..❤❤
And Pip looks so cute on the organ !!❤
Aren't they just. They need some tlc before rotting.
Martin is clearly a rare, and dear soul who is passionate about his calling. I'm so glad he was willing to consult with your team.
I can’t wait to hear Michael play the organ. At least one of the two will have clean bellows. 😮
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Thanks for allowing us to continue on this journey of restoring the organ in the convent!

@@marytaylor9185 he really did!

imagine some of the things he could be exposed to that modern immune systems have not had to contend with. eeeek. my thoughts exactly-mask and eyewear
Very sound advice and some great suggestions.
@@TheCaffeinatedOrganistput this in main comments not as a reply
@@TheCaffeinatedOrganist why. It’s a “pipe” organ not an electronic synthesizer. This instrument will be able to play music long after the computer dies or becomes obsolete.
Pip the mouse that Nick's wife, Jenny, made is adorable. She should make some to go with a special edition of Michael's book in a boxed set. It would be a wonderful fund raiser.
Not sure how feasible that would be, but I'd buy it.

The little Pip you made is fantastic! You are so talented.
Agreed! Michael should be wearing a respirator and eye protection!!
Go to a computer store and get a vacuum attachment set. It will include small and tiny nozzles that you can put on your vacuum hose so you can reach all of the narrow spaces.
Exactly what I was thinking!
Job well done everyone! Welcome back Alex!
So funny watching Billy playing with the WorkingMANS Segway... LOL... You are all awesome!
Michael! For Pete's sake, wear a mask!! Eye protection too. Honestly I'm surprised you aren't coughing with all that dust you're breathing in. Safety first, always!
I don't cough when there's dust, but husband does. I'm sure Michael will wear one if he feels he needs it.
Seriously? It isn't about whether he "feels he needs one" Did you not see all that dust being blown right into his face? Sometimes being tough is, well, stupid.

Great job Michael Can’t wait to read your book about Pip!
And perhaps Gwendolyn or Mo or Anna can translate Michael's book into
French..??..I just know your neighbors will be wanting their own copies,too..

Welcome back, Alex, and thank you for the longer video. Lots of interesting progress with the organ today. Great to see Martin sharing his expertise. Billy - I wanted you to go up to the bakery on the lift, but perhaps it wouldn’t be allowed on the pavement 😂. Terrifying to see how high it will go. Mick may well get the whole garden cleared whilst no one is watching. You need to get the car park access sorted, and get a tractor/trailer to take away all the rubble/garden waste. Yannis is truly multi-talented. Michael & Nick - I expect to see you wearing eye protection, masks and gloves (have you got the box of black gloves somewhere?) tomorrow.
Michael and Billy, you should change your name from Pethericks to Patience. ☺️. You both are so gifted and hardworking 💗. The guys are doing an amazing job. Crack on!
I love the organ rebuild! And Mama Moon’s mouse is wonderful and how Michael’s story about Pip in falling to placed in such an interesting way with little bit and pieces of truth and imagination!👍🏻✌🏻💞😊 And of course Crack On!!
OK!!That was too much dust for the lungs! but a lovely scenery to look at...🥰
Another great video today of putting the organ back together and getting it ready to seranade all of the followers. A big thanks to everyone !!❤️❤️❤️
Everyone was busy busy busy today 😁
This organ rebuild is like watching a miracle in slowmotion, the precision it needs to get it to work, i am in awe of all of you. 👏👏👏👏👏
It has been truly wonderful to be able to watch dismantling and rebuilding of this organ. So many people to thank for their help and support. Also...Welcome back Alex! And, a nod to Nick...as I was showing this video to my husband, he picked up right away on your John Deere jacket. My husband worked 42 years for Deere😊
Thank you for sharing 😊
Really great to see the organ builder join the Pethrick team today. Good to know you will have expert advise for the rebuild if needed.
@23:40 yes, we all need to go back to church. We are slowly losing the battle against evil, I for one will be more conscious about doing so. We need God now, more than ever. Peace be on to you all.
Amazing build of the organ with the darling Michael (please wear a mask and protective eye gear, that can’t be good for your lungs and eyes sweetness), Nick and the organ builder. Love seeing Mick tackling the garden, Yannis hard at work keeping everything tidy and in order so all works flow and let’s not forget Alex is back (Yay!) and Billy is in front of the camera and back cracking on with the kitchen. Lol ☺️ Such a wonderful talented bunch‼️💯✨♥️🙏🏼
Lovely history by the organ saver. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
When the pip book is out I have to have one! And a pip figurine too♥️
It looks like the organ was made for that spot. I guess it was, in a way! Good meticulous work going on…bless you ALL.😊
Can you imagine how atmospheric it would be to give organ concerts by candle-light in the chapel.
Very emotional when the organ was being dismantled and now again as it is being rebuilt. Alex doing superb cinematography/music as always. I especially love the non-verbal segments and just music playing while team is working. Really enjoyed watching Billy having some fun on his blue lift and very creative workaround getting the lift in and out of the convent/chapel. Cheers to all the team!
This is a really rare look at something not many get to see. I love watching this process on the organ. I am very jealous to not be helping out.
Another fab vlog... great to see everyone getting on with it.
Welcome back, Alex!😁
NICK, you're a natural behind the camera. 🥰
Thanks Billy, for giving us a glimpse into your world. 🩷
Love the hoodie Billy has on. Great progress, so exciting to see all of the activity. Kudos to Michael and Nick, great team. So great the organ builder could come by to lend his expertise. ❤❤
That would have been hilarious if you would have been some Benny Hill music in when billy was driving the lift around 😂
Michael is so cute” I’m going to have to go and clean my hands” he’s says, with dirt and soot all over his handsome face😂😂😂
This organ rebuild is fascinating. How smart are you guys to put it back together - with no instructions! 😍
The organ is really a fascinating instrument. That speaks to us from the past and now we will hear it in the present
My favorite screw driver is almost 100 yrs old. Restoring old furniture it comes in handy. Fits 100 yr old screws perfectly.
My favourite drill, is a brace and bit, that belonged to my grandfather! I'm 72, so it's likely at least 100 years old and still works perfectly!
@merrileeheard3889 I have one of those as well. But just for looks. It has a Crack. My mom bought me an amazing electric drill, sander, etc but I do everything by hand and with my little screwdriver. 🤣
@@cynthiamclaughlin5178 I have my wonderful, cordless electric drill, but I still use my "egg beater" drill for craft projects. It's perfect for drilling holes in sea shells. I've been using power tools since I was 6!!
This is so fascinating; I could watch is all day. Michael, you need a dusk mask and some safety glasses!
What a busy and productive day you've all had. I'm just enjoying getting to watch all of the goings on. May sound odd, but I wish I could be there in the thick of it... keeping busy with all the projects, working with your hands, and getting tangible things done. Very satisfying.
Glad to have you back Alex, you've been missed!!
Good show, Team. Glad to have Martin to come by (you will probably need him) AND glad to have Alex back (allows Billy to do more). Go show. Crack On.
So proud of you guys. The tender loving care being shown this amazing musical instrument is incredible. Bless you one and all.
Lovely to see all the busy people
Wonderful worthwhile work. Good to see people doing good things and making the world better.
Exactly.
I am loving the organ restoration so very much!
Wow! I was dumbfounded by the size of the Air Box (bellows?). I am awestruck at the magnitude of this restoration. Michael, next time you are blowing 150yr old dust, please wear a mask and eye protection, you are precious and valuable. Loved Mommy Moons Pip sitting in the organ. God bless you all!
I just love how you guys problem solve. The blue lift was genius! How special it was to have the pipe organ building specialist to assist Michael and Mr. Moon since Father Paul can't be there. I was surprised that the bellows leather is white, but how cool that the black marks on the old leather helped with finding the holes and torn bits to repair. This was a wonderful and fascinating video. Thanks!
Oh my, mask and goggles, Michael!
Billy you could start building a business relationship with the local businesses in the town while you're doing up the convent and fund some of the renovations with summer events in the convent courtyard or gardens when they are finished or even hire out the chapel for local events .
Fabulous idea👍👍👍
I think a Brocante is the obvious casual event considering it is how Billy and Ryan met when Billy had a Brocante stall way back when.
@@cynthiabroockman1752 Gwen could help with some of the business as the kids get older and are in school , even part-time during school hours .
Good one Billy!! Another sincere professional in your cluster of wonderful people all restoring this Convent 🥰 Thank you for sharing this organ's journey from the UK to the Convent 😇
This is an exciting time at the convent. So great to see so much going on. Great fun for me to follow it all. I find myself impatient to see the next episode.
Michael, I do believe you and your Pip will become the next Beatrice Potter and Peter Rabbit. What a series to look forward to and you are the man for the job❤ . Can't wait to read your first book to my 5 year old Grandson!
Wonderful work you are doing on the reconstruction of the beautiful organ. "Pip" the mouse is just too cute!! Any chance you could have more made and have them for sale. I would buy one and also one of the paintings of "Pip"
Good luck with all your endeavors
