    I swear, Yannis has no fear. Has Yannis found a whole different level of construction? Is the convent built on top of an older building? Cool idea.

      Might be an old crypt or a part of an even older building .
      Or just a storm drain .

    Yanis ' work ethic is so wonderful and his ability to learn new things paired with wanting to learn new things is priceless ...before u know it he will be skilled in all things renovation/upkeep and u all will have a 24/7 property maintenance manager to help u all care for all the homes chateaus ,convents in the family... i think he will be a valuable person in all ur families lives to keep around for a long time .not just b/c of those things but he seems to be very kind and a joy to be around ..u all might as well as adopt him as family member at this point an honorary brother, son ,uncle, etc...let the adoption ceremonies begin... crack on everyone !!! and have a blessed day !!!

Yanis is incredible as always, and Michael is doing a wonderful job on that lower kitchen and the terrace. Clive is a great plumber and will be the right mentor for Yanis, just as Simon is.

    I am glad you are looking at the foundations, as the building stands or falls due to the foundation!
    Seeing the pipes were PVC, I would think they just lopped off the old pipes and installed new for convenience. But it makes finding the old supply line harder!
