Billy you should get a picture with all the people and workers that helped make that kitchen amazing and hang it somewhere in the kitchen. Its a truly great accomplishment. Congrats on a job well done!!!
Was thinking the same thing or photos of each person who has physically had hands on on any part of the continuing restoration of the convent, a " rogues gallery" in the hallway area.
Imo the pic should be in the new library displayed in one of those glass cases billy aquired.maybe with a plaque.and photos of the old kitchen and the new.
Billy, I bet your viewers would love too see a reunion of all the workers who have taken part in this restoration. I can say, i would be front and center.
I think Billy should have a Kitchen party and invite everyone who worked on the kitchen back to celebrate all the hard work they all put in to make it what it is today!
Looking back at the start it's difficult to imagine your vision for this restoration project Billy & Gwendoline it has certainly been a challenge and I admire you for cracking on and sticking at it. I would have given up long ago. I look forward to the next episode and your return to the convent once the work at the chateau in prep for your dads birthday is complete.
After this video I realized how many years I have known your family. First I saw Michael's video tour of the chateau. Then I watched his cottage being renovated, then your channel was founded, Billy. Your family inspires me, you and your friends are wonderful people.❤️
Crikey I had forgotten what it looked like before. The hard work you have all put into the renovation of the kitchen is fantastic and unbelievable. Hope you celebrated when you finished the job
The transformation is remarkable. You forget after watching every day, what it used to be to look like and how over grown the garden was. AMAZING Work! Keep it up!
Watching the kitchen emerge from a lump of coal to a diamond has been a true adventure. You fellows are amazing. I hope you have a small gallery to acknowledge the hard work and talents of all of you who made this happen. Well done, and congratulations.
So fun to remember all those times together. Billy has such vision and to see it come to life was brilliant! Thank you for this. Happy Mother's Day to those in the US.
This video was so beautifully made - really one for posterity. It has truly been a labor of love, and is an exciting prelude to The Library. The kitchen, however, will remain my favorite of any room, anywhere. One thing though: the kitchen is not complete until you brew yourself some coffee from that copper R2-D2! 😂 ☕️ 🤖
I think a banquet for all those who had a hand in the renovation of the kitchen, together with whichever patrons could be there, would be a wonderful way to start its new life off. ❤🎉
Thank you for bringing us along on your journey. The room is absolutely beautiful and a tribute to all of the men, and your wife, who worked so diligently to create a room to last for ages.
Bravo Billy! Such a wonderful reminder of the kitchen transformation. I just hope the "residents" are as pleased with the kitchen as the rest of us. Thank you so much for your hard work and vision and thank you to everyone who has taken part in this historic journey. 😍❤
CRACK ON!! I often think of the beginnings Iv watched them all. Watching the progress over again gives me a real understanding of crack on. Billy I just adore the kitchen and truly appreciate what you’re doing. My daily addiction of the Pethericks projects is a must!! Thanks
OMG! Magnificent! When getting to the final chapter I was bawling (crying). The music was perfect, the editing was perfect. What else can I say. I was so emotionally moved. How beautiful it has become. Thank you for sharing this and thank all those that helped with this project. Keep Cracking On. 😉❤
Billy, I started watching your channel when you were working on the roof of the small chapel by the chateau. I was hooked, and it has been wonderful watching everything that’s followed. Thanks for the recap.
Also, the music choice for the first part so beautifully captures that sense of the incremental flow of time and the tiny ripples of your work, each shovel-full adding to a mountain of accomplishments.
Wow ive watched the whole process, yet amazing how much id forgotten. That kitchen was 3 separate rooms, beams were covered and floor was replaced. Billy congrats to you and your family! You've really done an amazing job. Cheers
I loved being taken back to when it all started, you should all be proud of yourselves and what each of you have achieved no matter what task you took on. Thank you Billy x
This kitchen is a masterpiece that a small core group of folks with special skills who together helped bring Billy's dream to life. Such focus and determination is hard to find in people these days. What a fricking triumph - congratulations to all of you!
I have been following since the beginning. I have been on this incredible journey of transformation right alongside you all. This video brought back all of the incredible people who have helped you in the work. What a great sense of accomplishment and pride you must feel! Well done and bless you all for this amazing job! Keep doing what you do. You are not just saving a building. You are saving history itself! ♥️🌹☺️
Beautiful video! The amount of work that went into this renovation is staggering. Also going through thousands of hours of footage to produce this video. Well done, Billy, well done! Maine USA
Wow wow wow. Completely forgot about all those walls and rooms. Incredible how much it's changed! So much hard work, time, $$ & dedication has transformed this stunning room! I've watched every episode from the very creepy initial walk thru! Anyway, it's beautiful. So glad you & Yanis made the first food in the oven! Can't wait for more! ❤❤
Wow, I can see where you and Michael get your drive to work so hard. Your father was with you and stuck in every step of the way. No one can say the Pethericks don't work hard and have vision. (And lots of equally impressive help: Yannis, Simon, and so many more.) So very impressive and beautiful result. Amaze bouche :)
I actually felt proud of myself for having seen all the videos when they were first published. Great job Billy. Crack On! On to the library - sooooooooo freaking excited.
Billie looking back it is amazing just how much you forget, how much work went into just the demo then slowly watching you and everyone bring it step by step to the stunning kitchen it is today. Every single member of your team must be so proud of what you've achieved. Most especially yourself and your beautiful wife Gwendolyn, to have the ambition, perseverance but most importantly the vision. You are saving french one building at a time, I'm truly grateful that I found both you, your family and al your wonderful friends.
All I can say is wow! I remember the first video when you entered and it was so dark and creepy. And now look at how beautiful and inviting that kitchen is! Kudos to all who worked so hard to make it that way, especially to Billy and Gwendolyn for being such visionaries! ♥️
2 weeks ago we were on our way back from Lorient to NL and I decided to drive by to see the convent and your chateau with my own eyes. And it was great! What a great place to live and make your dreams come true through hard work. Above all, enjoy it and we will enjoy it with you!❤
Not only a new kitchen was obtained during the process a new plasterer was formed thanks to Simon the patient teacher and Yanis an exceptional apprentice.
Bravo 🥰🥰🥰 everyone who’s worked on this project. Demolition to rebuilding its very moving to see all that work. Has 2 years really gone by. Mainly the laughter you share with us 🍾🍾
STANDING OVATION!!! & LOUD HAND CLAP!!! What an incredible video! Amazing transformation. Very proud of all you and the team have done!!! Congratulations.
Even though I watched every minute of the kitchen renovation, it’s still unbelievable what you started with and the monumental tasks that were done to complete it. Beautiful work! Can’t wait for the library transformation.
It looks amazing. It's an unbelievable transformation from a year ago. Can't wait to see the finished library and the ultimate final use of the Convent.
As I watched this video I felt honored to have been there when you first launched this massive undertaking to renovate and remodel the convent. Several other viewers have said the same thing I was thinking...a group picture of everyone who had a helping hand to get this tremendous job done would be something that would be kept to honor their work and the restoration of the convent. So glad I have been watching since the beginning...Crack On Billy 😊
This is truly a stunning renovation, an incredible floor but can I just say the videography OH MY GOODNESS FANTASTIC! I was fully immersed in this video! The music, the editing…. Marvellous job 💙🏴💙 Much love from Scotland
I’ve followed along for years and had forgotten the beginning. Look where you are now! an awesome achievement. Billy you did a great job on this mini documentary both video and bit of narration. Enjoyed it verymuch.
Billy, your work ethic, vision and management of the convent project is astounding!!! On top of that your wonderful family, friends and helpers have kept me watching since your very first video. Love love love your channel!!!!❤️
When I saw the kitchen tile being laid, I got super emotional… perfect tile choice for this Reno and the appliances are just wow!! Then the pizza… It’s just magical🙌🏼💕🌈
I love the first one the best. Billy I’ve been with you from before the convention and you and all the team have done a magnificent job to date. Icing on the cake is Michael playing the organ after the rebuild. ❤❤❤
You're one of my favorite channels. Each new project reveals the past and is almost like a treasure hunt to uncover what was there. Yesterday I watched you remove more of the floor and there were four levels of flooring cement, dirt, wood, tile it's no wonder the beams were saging. It's great to have a rewind from the beginning to now. Please keep doing that.
Stunningly beautiful results of a great vision, hard work and joint effort. Amazing reminder of a long journey and testimony for future generations how important right values are in every segment of our lives - work, family and friendship. This is incredible kitchen and the most majestic beginning of convent core renovations. It set both the tone and the standard for the next project and all others to come. Great job, lads! True Sunday treat.
Billy, one day your boys will watch this with pride … knowing their parents had the guts to take a project of this size on! It has been a monumental task and you & the team you assembled have done a fantastic job, thank you for sharing this journey & look forward to what’s ahead.
I subscribed on this video alone. Well done. Class work. Class vision. Class video. You’ve got me wanting to come there and FEEL the story of past and present. Throughly enjoyed every minute.
Billy what a wonderful walk down memory lane . So much hard work but in the end so much satisfaction . You certainly are not afraid of hard work . Looking forward to see the library memory lane. Greetings from Australia .
What a gorgeous kitchen you, and all the team, created in just over a year. It was wonderful to see your dream all come together. Now, onward and upward! The making of the library with it's magnificent gallery!
Billy you should get a picture with all the people and workers that helped make that kitchen amazing and hang it somewhere in the kitchen. Its a truly great accomplishment. Congrats on a job well done!!!
Was thinking the same thing or photos of each person who has physically had hands on on any part of the continuing restoration of the convent, a " rogues gallery" in the hallway area.
I so agree
I thought maybe a plaque with everyone's names also.
I think of the construction team, each holding a representative tool, in a group image like the Dutch Guild paintings.
Imo the pic should be in the new library displayed in one of those glass cases billy aquired.maybe with a plaque.and photos of the old kitchen and the new.
Still blows me away, Billy, that you tiled that HUGE floor yourself!!! YOU, SIR, HAVE GRIT!
True grit! I never could have stayed on my the floor that long.
BEAUTIFUL JOB. 😊
Billy, I bet your viewers would love too see a reunion of all the workers who have taken part in this restoration. I can say, i would be front and center.
I think Billy should have a Kitchen party and invite everyone who worked on the kitchen back to celebrate all the hard work they all put in to make it what it is today!
You all did a beautiful job. It was wonderful to watch.. can't wait for the progress on both library and the new kitchen.
Imagine if yannis had been there in the early days of demolition 😊
Looking back at the start it's difficult to imagine your vision for this restoration project Billy & Gwendoline it has certainly been a challenge and I admire you for cracking on and sticking at it. I would have given up long ago. I look forward to the next episode and your return to the convent once the work at the chateau in prep for your dads birthday is complete.
Me too.

Crikey I had forgotten what it looked like before. The hard work you have all put into the renovation of the kitchen is fantastic and unbelievable. Hope you celebrated when you finished the job
I had forgotten just how bad it had been too.🖤🇨🇦
The transformation is remarkable. You forget after watching every day, what it used to be to look like and how over grown the garden was.
AMAZING Work! Keep it up!
Watching the kitchen emerge from a lump of coal to a diamond has been a true adventure. You fellows are amazing. I hope you have a small gallery to acknowledge the hard work and talents of all of you who made this happen. Well done, and congratulations.
So fun to remember all those times together. Billy has such vision and to see it come to life was brilliant! Thank you for this. Happy Mother's Day to those in the US.
And Canada 🇨🇦

One thing though: the kitchen is not complete until you brew yourself some coffee from that copper R2-D2! 😂 ☕️ 🤖
Sean! I miss Sean! He seems like such a great guy, very gentlemanly and well versed in his skills!
If you don’t know Sean has two channels called Sean’s World and Sean’s Universe. Both well worth subscribing!!
I think a banquet for all those who had a hand in the renovation of the kitchen, together with whichever patrons could be there, would be a wonderful way to start its new life off. ❤🎉
Thank you for bringing us along on your journey. The room is absolutely beautiful and a tribute to all of the men, and your wife, who worked so diligently to create a room to last for ages.
We really needed that reminder of how much work went into that kitchen..and now its gorgeous but yes tons of work!! What forsight you had Billy!
You should be very Proud Billy & Gwendolyn as well as all the guys and girls that worked on everything. The Kitchen is stunning!
Such a perfect ending. First meal prepared and served in the kitchen. You brought it back to life
Bravo Billy! Such a wonderful reminder of the kitchen transformation. I just hope the "residents" are as pleased with the kitchen as the rest of us. Thank you so much for your hard work and vision and thank you to everyone who has taken part in this historic journey. 😍❤
Exciting for Sunday..Thanks Billy and Gwen for all your hard work and dedication.
CRACK ON!! I often think of the beginnings Iv watched them all. Watching the progress over again gives me a real understanding of crack on. Billy I just adore the kitchen and truly appreciate what you’re doing. My daily addiction of the Pethericks projects is a must!! Thanks
I would travel all the way to France just to see that kitchen. I can't wait to see how wonderful the library comes out.
Such a gorgeous old building I love watching the renovation and some of your finds. I especially loved when you moved the pipe Organ into the chapel
I agree I loved that organ re build. It was one of many of my favourite chapters of this amazing journey
OMG! Magnificent! When getting to the final chapter I was bawling (crying). The music was perfect, the editing was perfect. What else can I say. I was so emotionally moved. How beautiful it has become. Thank you for sharing this and thank all those that helped with this project. Keep Cracking On. 😉❤
Billy, I started watching your channel when you were working on the roof of the small chapel by the chateau. I was hooked, and it has been wonderful watching everything that’s followed. Thanks for the recap.
Same comment!!!
That's when I joined.
It's lovely to see all our old friends.
Also, the music choice for the first part so beautifully captures that sense of the incremental flow of time and the tiny ripples of your work, each shovel-full adding to a mountain of accomplishments.
I think the picture of all the people who helped would be a great addition to the kitchen as well as some history for future generations.
Wow ive watched the whole process, yet amazing how much id forgotten. That kitchen was 3 separate rooms, beams were covered and floor was replaced. Billy congrats to you and your family! You've really done an amazing job. Cheers
I loved being taken back to when it all started, you should all be proud of yourselves and what each of you have achieved no matter what task you took on. Thank you Billy x
Yes! Great job! I can now show my friends in a summary what i am looking at every night for 1.5years. 😅
😂
I can hardly believe it’s been that long!
I'd forgotten how thick the old floor was!!!
It just boggles the mind 🤯 to see all the back-breaking work you have done. Well done! 👏 👏 👏
This kitchen is a masterpiece that a small core group of folks with special skills who together helped bring Billy's dream to life. Such focus and determination is hard to find in people these days. What a fricking triumph - congratulations to all of you!
I have been following since the beginning. I have been on this incredible journey of transformation right alongside you all. This video brought back all of the incredible people who have helped you in the work. What a great sense of accomplishment and pride you must feel! Well done and bless you all for this amazing job! Keep doing what you do. You are not just saving a building. You are saving history itself! ♥️🌹☺️
What a transformation to an elegant, functional space! See what "Cracking on" will get you!
What an amazing kitchen you now have. You must be thrilled with it. Now for the library - we’ll all be watching 😊
What a story. Fabulous effort from a great team. Orchestrated by Billy and Gwen.
Wow! Loved this "wrap up" and it seems fitting to break in the oven with pizza!!!!!
Thank you for the look back at how far you’ve came! It doesn’t feel like 2 years! Great job to all who helped accomplish this!
Beautiful video!
The amount of work that went into this renovation is staggering.
Also going through thousands of hours of footage to produce this video.
Well done, Billy, well done!

The crew was so effective, they finished the entire kitchen in just under 17 minutes.
I actually felt proud of myself for having seen all the videos when they were first published. Great job Billy. Crack On! On to the library - sooooooooo freaking excited.

Billy you and your team accomplished a huge tremendous goal completing that kitchen. Which is amazingly beautiful.
Wow that was a great recap. Nice to see all the people who worked so hard to get that kitchen where it is.
It's nice to get these "big picture" videos once in a while, to sum up what's happened. Thanks!
Not only a new kitchen was obtained during the process a new plasterer was formed thanks to Simon the patient teacher and Yanis an exceptional apprentice.
Thank you Billy for sharing, have a wonderful day.
Bravo 🥰🥰🥰 everyone who’s worked on this project. Demolition to rebuilding its very moving to see all that work. Has 2 years really gone by. Mainly the laughter you share with us 🍾🍾
Thank you for sharing this beautiful adventure!! 💜
STANDING OVATION!!! & LOUD HAND CLAP!!! What an incredible video! Amazing transformation. Very proud of all you and the team have done!!! Congratulations.
Time just flies when you are having fun. ❤️❤️
Its a credit to all that have skillfully contributed to what has become a beautiful kitchen .
Beautiful overview of your kitchen project, Billy 💫 So much to be proud of
Even though I watched every minute of the kitchen renovation, it’s still unbelievable what you started with and the monumental tasks that were done to complete it. Beautiful work! Can’t wait for the library transformation.
It looks amazing. It's an unbelievable transformation from a year ago. Can't wait to see the finished library and the ultimate final use of the Convent.
What a story to tell! And the thickness of that floor 🙄 it’s been a pleasure watching the journey. Thank you!

This is truly a stunning renovation, an incredible floor but can I just say the videography OH MY GOODNESS FANTASTIC! I was fully immersed in this video!
The music, the editing…. Marvellous job 💙🏴💙 Much love from Scotland
I'm blown away. Though I've watched from beginning to end of this remold, it still amazing to see it again. Stunning
showing it from this perspective sure highlights how much work you guys put into this project. It turned out really beautiful Billy.
It is so easy to forget what it was like. Thank you for the retrospective Billy and co.
I’ve followed along for years and had forgotten the beginning. Look where you are now! an awesome achievement. Billy you did a great job on this mini documentary both video and bit of narration. Enjoyed it verymuch.
Thanks for sharing this AMAZING video of the transformation of the Convent Kitchen, Billy! What an accomplishment! KUDOS to YOU and YOUR TEAM!
This certainly has been a huge accomplishment! Everyone involved did an exceptional job of making everything to perfection. I congratulate you all.
I had watched every video at the time but watching it unfold again is humbling
It's amazing all the changes you have made. Crack on team Petherick!!! Yay!. 😊🏴
It's nice to see an overview in one video. So much work!
Billy, your work ethic, vision and management of the convent project is astounding!!! On top of that your wonderful family, friends and helpers have kept me watching since your very first video. Love love love your channel!!!!❤️
Not only a real project transformation; a personal transformation! Congratulations 🎉
Billy, you are an amazing cinematographer. This project is absolutely stunning.
Wow I had forgotten what the kitchen looked like when you started! Amazing transformation! Love seeing it in retrospective!
Thanks Billy, I had forgotten parts of that, especially the way the kitchen looked pre demolition. Awesome summary!
When I saw the kitchen tile being laid, I got super emotional… perfect tile choice for this Reno and the appliances are just wow!! Then the pizza… It’s just magical🙌🏼💕🌈
Loved seeing where you started and where the kitchen is now. I have been watching since the start but there is so much I had forgotten. Thank you!
I love the first one the best.
Billy I’ve been with you from before the convention and you and all the team have done a magnificent job to date.
Icing on the cake is Michael playing the organ after the rebuild.
❤❤❤
So proud of all the work that you all have done. Now I'm just waiting for the library to shine
You're one of my favorite channels. Each new project reveals the past and is almost like a treasure hunt to uncover what was there. Yesterday I watched you remove more of the floor and there were four levels of flooring cement, dirt, wood, tile it's no wonder the beams were saging.
It's great to have a rewind from the beginning to now. Please keep doing that.
I was with you all the way sitting in my chair. Fantastic job! And now the library….. But you do inspire me to crack on with smaller stuff at home.
Stunningly beautiful results of a great vision, hard work and joint effort. Amazing reminder of a long journey and testimony for future generations how important right values are in every segment of our lives - work, family and friendship. This is incredible kitchen and the most majestic beginning of convent core renovations. It set both the tone and the standard for the next project and all others to come. Great job, lads! True Sunday treat.
This was delightful 🎶
The editing of this compilation deserves special mention too - whoever you are!
I'd totally forgotten most of this footage. You really have accomplished a lot.
Billy, one day your boys will watch this with pride … knowing their parents had the guts to take a project of this size on! It has been a monumental task and you & the team you assembled have done a fantastic job, thank you for sharing this journey & look forward to what’s ahead.
IT LOOKS LIKE MAGIC HAPPENED NOW
Holy ... this is so incredibly satisfying to watch
I subscribed on this video alone. Well done. Class work. Class vision. Class video. You’ve got me wanting to come there and FEEL the story of past and present. Throughly enjoyed every minute.
It is easy to forget just how dilapidated the kitchen had become when we see it in its renovated state. Job well done.
I still love that big ass coffee maker. That thing is bad ass. Would love to see it in use one day.
Certainly an amazing accomplishment. Skilled labourers not daunted by a challenge. I salute you all.
This kitchen is absolutely stunning, the attention to detail is mindblowing. Thank you for sharing this with us all again.
Billy what a wonderful walk down memory lane . So much hard work but in the end so much satisfaction . You certainly are not afraid of hard work . Looking forward to see the library memory lane. Greetings from Australia .
Wow has it really been 2 years! Looking forward to this vlog.
Epic. Great Job!! Looking forward to what comes next. Thank you for sharing this journey.
Billy, very nice I like it, thank you for sharing.
What a gorgeous kitchen you, and all the team, created in just over a year. It was wonderful to see your dream all come together. Now, onward and upward! The making of the library with it's magnificent gallery!
