I thought of the same comparison but didn’t think expat Brits in France would have a clue who Bob Ross was. Like Bob, Simon has a very Zen demeanor that just exudes a calming, chill persona. I love the guy.
In your video a few days ago I was struck by how effectively, calmly, and patiently Simon instructed Yannis on his first try at plastering. A lot of craftsmen or artists may be incredibly skilled but do not have the aptitude for teaching others. Simon is the exception and it translated beautifully on the screen. The more he appears in your videos the more apparent it has become that he has a natural talent for translating his knowledge to the viewer in an entertaining manner. If he’s ever crazy enough to become a RUclipsr I would gladly subscribe to watch him renovate his own home.
From what I see, Yanis (right spelling?) is the dream worker: willing to learn, quick learner, does not stay idle for long, always finding something to do or someone to help...How I wish I had workers like him when I was employed. Keep up the good work!🛠
I remember Amaury on Chateau Diaries voicing his frustration with the lumber in France compared to what he worked with in England. He said that it was kiln dried lumber from Canada. Glad to know we’re good for something 🇨🇦😄
Canada is great for a LOT! Just being there! natural beauty, MURDOCH MYSTERIES, LITTLE MOSQUE ON THE PRAIRIE, the people have a great reputation for politeness, RED GREEN, other comedians...... won't you be my neighbor?? Your friends in the US!
In Brazil we plaster the bricks just like Simon did with that wall. I still remember my dad "watering" the wall with a brush to smooth it over. But he used to shake the brush (kinda) onto the wall - pretty much like a priest on a mass blessing.
Simon is the consummate plasterer. Yannis is such a good, respectful, ethical kid. The teamwork is something to behold. It is so great that you find wonderfully competent people. Thank you for the video work, Alex, I’ve seen more nooks and crannies that only add to the mystery history of The Convent ❤❤ We are all loving every inch of this place ❤❤
Yanis is such a hard worker, he is doing the work of two men when he is unloading the truck of wood!!! Nice to see such a young man with such a great work ethic!!
Billy, you need to carry a large ziplock bag in your vehicle to put your receipts in, then they're together when you need them. If necessary you can even label the bag by month.
See Phil arrived just in time to offer his wisdom and saved Billy from making all those trips.Simons demonstration on the stone wall is interesting.Looks nice if you can away with having to plasterboard when you can use the plaster directly onto the wall.
Very interesting to see Simon experimenting with French plaster. Hoping he might give us a peek at his renovation project at some point. I know we had a glimpse at his caravan but how he's progressing would be interesting. Hope you all have a wonderful time this weekend at Phil's place, so good to see you all together. Cheers
Well done all of you. Can I just say what a nice young man Yannis is and such a hard worker, as are all of you but for a small slight build young man he’s got a great work ethic. Crack on!!
what has his build and age got to do with it? LOL. I was in the Police. I once had a very strange assessment of my work.. For a WOMAN and an older officer (at the time) she is surprisingly active. As if less was expected from me. In fact I was the one with the biggest work record and got stuck in with everything with enthusiasm.. nothing to do with my sex.. all to do with my upbringing. I baulked like hell at that.. and it was recognised for the misogynistic remark it was. I liked the man who made it but he got it wrong on that occasion. I am sure you didn't mean it either but do taller older people have better built in work ethic.. I think not.
Sorry I have cognitive issues and get my words and sentences all wrong at times. What I meant was for a young man of slight build, he’s a lot stronger than he looks and so often young people are portrayed as lazy and have no pride or work sense and sometimes even no sense of duty to their work….if that’s the right word. Yannis comes across as someone who’s got a good work ethic and he is obviously willing to learn and enjoying it. I’m sure the fact that Simon is such a good teacher and encourages him helps him too. Sorry if I confused or offended I didn’t mean to . I get very confused sometimes.
Yay, Billy, we're enjoying your many talents, and love the 'cracking on' each day! Yanis is fast becoming one of our favorite and talented persons at the Convent. We hope he is enjoying his new skill of plastering. That, along with his great work ethic, will make him a plus on any construction project. Cheers ~
With all that caring heavy stuff around, it’s obvious way Billy has got more and more mucked every week . This kind of work makes you really strong and give you endurance in contrast to people just lifting weights in the gym! Ryan and Billy are so cute together, it’s amazing seeing such a wonderful friendship evolve and grow❤ I love how respectful and kind they are to each other and still having that fun banter😊 I really miss having friends!! I’m all alone now, my best very close friend died suddenly of a ruptured aorta the day before she would have turned 34 in September of 2018. We actually had a surprise planned and all.. God how I miss her😢 My closest male friend who reminds me so much of Ryan in both in looks and personality , and helped me renovate my house, sadly took his own life the next spring. It’s so important to cherish your friends and family , before you know it, they are gone.. and bonds like that can never be replaced..
Yannis alway offers to help and never complains. Love watching plasterwork and learning tricks of the trade. I have joint compound here in the states to finish a small renovation. That’s cool that Ryan uses a box for carrying small items. I do the same (groceries and small purchases) and have found that friends do too. I also have a large shallow plastic tray (meant for under a washing machine) that is in my trunk permanently for when I buy plants.
I thought Friday's were light work days. You all worked really hard today! Enjoy your evening, sounds like Simon has plans for you all tomorrow. I'm looking forward to seeing more of Simons property :)
You are doing a fabulous job, look forward each day to watch them. Ignore any negative remarks, they do not walk in your shoes. God bless. Monica from Crestview, Florida
Love these added contributions. Alex's camera talent, Simon's expertise of education is wonderful also. Love seeing the little places Alex finds. Along with Ryan's humor and your discoveries. And Yannis sweet lil self ❤
Yannis is the best. Always eager to pitch right in and help. Phil, you’re a good man and friend, but in turn Billy is a good friend to all. Simon, I hope one day we can see your farmhouse. xx
This is what I love about watching different UTube channels in France, Portugal and England so many different places, situations, solutions to so many many problems. It's all great. Well done to Billy Gwen and their team and friends. Good luck Simon on your renovations, hopefully I'll get to see your channel.
He has been in France since he was like 5 and that makes a difference, and they spoke English at home. He is just one of those that enjoys life and I just adore him and his smile, his humor.
Simon, I am impressed at how knowledgeable you are and how patient you are with Yannis in teaching him different skills. Not everyone is a teacher. Yannis is a very hard worker who learns quickly. I enjoy watching the videos!
Yesterday you mentioned about putting a pool in the garden, if you are going to do that maybe in the area next to the hallway where you are going to put toilets you should maybe have showers and a changing room area as well.. looks like you had another very busy day,, well done guys and have a good weekend. Robb Torremolinos Spain
What a blessing you guys have. All the stunning old structures you get to be a part of. The country side around everything. I will return one day to spend more time in France's countryside. I m sure i won't wnat to leave.
Great video Billy. Always entertaining. Love all the guys that have helped along the way, and still part of the team. The friendships are beautiful to witness. Enjoy the weekend. ❤
That young man will end up owning his own company and will do quite well for himself. Too bad people - especially young people lack a work ethic. Everyone wants and think they deserve but are unwilling to work.
And here you thought you were going to have to work 10x harder! So nice of Yannis and Phil to come and assist you! And of course can't forget Ryan giving you a lift to get the shower tray! Things are really coming along well. Ooo I'll look forward to a Sunday video... though I probably won't get to see it till Monday... work and all. Have a great weekend boys!
Yanis is such a hard worker! Never stays still, always finds ways to be productive and helpful. Amazing work ethic. He also seems to be less shy these days. Phil needs to find ways in which to lure Billy to his projects at just the right time he needs a hand 😂
Outstanding episode! Everybody doing fantastic work! Many projects moving along very well! Looking forward to seeing Simon's projects! And also Philip 's restoration of the Rover!😊❤
Billy a suggestion. Can you do one of those restoration before and after videos. I was going to share to Facebook but this is kind of in the middle of the project. Trying to find you more subscribers. 🤑
Billy, expanding on @iu.5146 ideas of dealing with mountains of receipts, may I suggest an incredibly easy, fool proof way of maintaining receipts in chrono order ? Get a wire coat hanger and straighten it. Bend it to make a "J" shape. Fashion a hook from the top of the "J" and attach it to a handy spot (i'd suggest somewhere inside your car/truck.) Every time you get a new receipt, simply push it onto the short end of the "J". No fancy stuff here - just push it on through the paper. At the end of the month, add one piece of paper with the month and year, take it off it's hook, twist the two ends of the "J" together and toss it into a plastic bin. Chrono order, easy to scan at your leisure , and .....no muss, no fuss ! Best, Kathy
I like that you're back to the other music you were using at the beginning. Alex is going a great job with the filming. I really enjoy the shots at the beginning of the videos of shots throughout the convent. Crack on!
The countryside there in your part of rural France looks very similar to parts of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virgina in the US. The villages and towns look very different there though and are much, much more lovely.
As soon as the kitchen and hall are done you guys should have a community event. Set up tours and have a donations jar. Maybe have some sort of festival in the courtyard too
Hi Billy, maby a fancy spiral steel staircase on the outside into the court yard for Ryan from his unit. That will make it easier, to get to his parking. Love your vlog.
Thanks to Alex. and the beautiful camera work!! Thanks to Yanis for being brave enough to have himself filmed while apprenticing on this job !! Thanks to Simon for sharing his knowledge with all of us, because we need people in the trades who can hand down their skills. Thanks to our beloved Ryan for just being Ryan !! To each and every person who makes these videos possible. What a journey this has been !! xoxoxoxoxoxo❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Simon is like a Bob Ross of plastering. 😆 It's kind of soothing listening to him explaining the process of plastering 😊
EXACTLY what i thought!! 😂❤
Yes!!!
yes!

I thought of the same comparison but didn’t think expat Brits in France would have a clue who Bob Ross was. Like Bob, Simon has a very Zen demeanor that just exudes a calming, chill persona. I love the guy.

Me three! 😊
YES!!! I was just thinking that he should start a channel showing his restorations!! I would subscribe and enjoy it! Simon is a gem!! 😊
Me, too!
In each episode we have seen Yannis, he has proved to be such a hard worker and so proactive. Definitely a Team player.
Yanis is really getting comfortable actively contributing to each video !
Awesome 🙂
Yannis is a great addition to the team! Hard worker, smart, good attitude. What more could you want? Kudos to you, Yannis!
👍🏼
We need a video about yannis, the man the myth the legend!
Simon is certainly an authority in his field! He is knowledgeable and proficient. Billy you are very lucky with Simon and Yanis too!
Phil is so good helping everyone else . It would be nice to see a combined work party spend some time at his place.
From what I see, Yanis (right spelling?) is the dream worker: willing to learn, quick learner, does not stay idle for long, always finding something to do or someone to help...How I wish I had workers like him when I was employed. Keep up the good work!🛠
Can I also add does not talk your ear off.
I remember Amaury on Chateau Diaries voicing his frustration with the lumber in France compared to what he worked with in England. He said that it was kiln dried lumber from Canada. Glad to know we’re good for something 🇨🇦😄
I remember that too. Amaury is a master craftsman of course.
😊🇨🇦
Canada is great for a LOT! Just being there! natural beauty, MURDOCH MYSTERIES, LITTLE MOSQUE ON THE PRAIRIE, the people have a great reputation for politeness, RED GREEN, other comedians...... won't you be my neighbor?? Your friends in the US!
Plus, didn't they say the few nuns left from this convent moved to Canada?
Hello Canada from South Dakota. Hopefully you can put an end to all your wildfires up there before winter.
In Brazil we plaster the bricks just like Simon did with that wall. I still remember my dad "watering" the wall with a brush to smooth it over. But he used to shake the brush (kinda) onto the wall - pretty much like a priest on a mass blessing.
It was so nice to see Yanis smiling! 😊
Well. Ok. I'm watching plaster dry and am actually enjoying it.
Thanks guys!
Good job Simon!
😂 Good point! Simon is such a skilled craftsman.
🤣
Not sure why, but when Yannis waved and smiled… it made ME smile! 😊
Simon is the consummate plasterer. Yannis is such a good, respectful, ethical kid. The teamwork is something to behold. It is so great that you find wonderfully competent people.
Thank you for the video work, Alex, I’ve seen more nooks and crannies that only add to the mystery history of The Convent ❤❤
We are all loving every inch of this place ❤❤
I love watching Simon work. He explains things so well
I admire Yannis more and more with each video 🎉 and Simon too of course 😊 Energetic and kind. A good combination 😃
It's so pleasant to see a job site where everyone appreciates each other's talents and labor and is willing to learn and teach.
Your friends ship is beautiful to witness Simon is a great teacher . Yanis is an asset to the team great video Alex
Yanis is such a hard worker😊
Yanis is such a hard worker, he is doing the work of two men when he is unloading the truck of wood!!! Nice to see such a young man with such a great work ethic!!
Billy, you need to carry a large ziplock bag in your vehicle to put your receipts in, then they're together when you need them. If necessary you can even label the bag by month.
That would file easily, too.
Maybe he can borrow Tyans box….
See Phil arrived just in time to offer his wisdom and saved Billy from making all those trips.Simons demonstration on the stone wall is interesting.Looks nice if you can away with having to plasterboard when you can use the plaster directly onto the wall.
I read this as Phil was pulling in. 😂😂
I'm loving Simon!
I have a feeling that Gwendaline makes sure that those receipts are scanned in a timely manner 😁
I am so impressed by their friendships and hard work!
Once rooms are done and in use Yourll get revenue back. I would love to come and stay in your convent once rooms are done.
Me too
Very interesting to see Simon experimenting with French plaster. Hoping he might give us a peek at his renovation project at some point. I know we had a glimpse at his caravan but how he's progressing would be interesting.
Hope you all have a wonderful time this weekend at Phil's place, so good to see you all together. Cheers
Maybe do ghost tours? That would bring some income in.
Simon is a natural in front of the camera!
Have you Gotten a quote for the elevator and if so, what was it?
Layla is such a pretty dog. Hard work deserves a relaxing weekend. Cheers All
She is just gorgeous!
@@ehpeachyloveWho is the owner of that beautiful dog?
@@ClaraSunshineAlex, I think…🤔
who does she belong to..she is beautiful.
She is such a beautiful doggie. 😊 Love when she gets a cameo. She is the cameraman’s, Alex, fur baby.
Love seeing Philly hanging out with you Billy. He’s a good friend,
It's such a pleasure to see Yannis (sp?) develop into a member to the team! Hey you're so close to 300k subscribers. Keep on trucking Billy.
What a blessing to have good friends.

@@sarahyates6055 no need to apologize , I understood perfectly what you meant . ( Maureen )
No need to be sorry! Knew exactly the tone in which you meant it! It was fine. ❤
Simon, I hope you have a RUclips channel lined up so we can watch your renovations! I‘d enjoy watching your quest and likely others here would too.
Yanis has a great future ahead of him...bless you young man.
Keep watching the ads everyone, all helps Billy. Love your vlogs sooooo much. Nice seeing everyone there xxx💕💕💕
Yannis is an asset to you. Don’t let him go 😊😊
Definitely!
Maybe yannis can rent one of the apartments when they’re finished. He would be an asset living on the property.
Yannis is a godsend!
Don’t let him go, as he’s always go, go, go! 😉😉🙄
Good will, camaraderie and helping hands, so pleasant to watch every step of your progress.👍🏻
I love the laid back humour of the 3 musketeers....Billy, Ryan and Phil and Alex is capturing it all nicely!
Thank goodness you had great help unloading the wood-such a tedious job. Well done, guys.
Yay, Billy, we're enjoying your many talents, and love the 'cracking on' each day! Yanis is fast becoming one of our favorite and talented persons at the Convent.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone
All my walls in my 200 year old house 🏡 are made with horse hair and plaster they have lots of character lots of imperfections !
My grandma's farmhouse is like that too. Only the guy who built it wasn't great at planning staircases, so the basement steps are LETHAL. 😂
Simon has a gift for presentation - very warm.
Hope I live long enough to come stay. Great videos for an extraordinary project.
Well Billy, I am doing my part to help. I watch every video , like and comment. That is the best way I can support your efforts.❤
Ditto
Every video
Yes!
Absolutely.
Rural France looks so much like rural NY state. When I visited Dijon, even the flowers and trees are the same!
By Friday night you and your team must be exhausted. Hope you get to enjoy some quality R&R on the weekend. Thanks Billy🙏❤️
Yannis is such a good worker! Phil and Ryan are awesome friends to you Billy.

Bet nobody expects Ryan to be so fluent when he has such a strong English accent.
Ryan is a surprising and interesting individual. His accent is very nice.
He is fluent in both languages.
He has been in France since he was like 5 and that makes a difference, and they spoke English at home. He is just one of those that enjoys life and I just adore him and his smile, his humor.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼.. your doing am exceptional job gentleman.. Thank you
One way of saving , is don’t stud and batten hallway, render it and the set coat with plaster.
That young man will end up owning his own company and will do quite well for himself. Too bad people - especially young people lack a work ethic. Everyone wants and think they deserve but are unwilling to work.
Very clever way to install a level wall!
Love the convent projects. Simon is a great teacher!! I hope we get to see the renovations at his home too. Thanks for the video.
Renovations always take longer, cost more, etc. Patience is a must.
Simon out here giving classes people should pay for!

Are you still having your daily meetings?

You guys are getting your steps in with all of that timber aka lumber aka wood....
Like seeing Yannis personality coming through. Nice lad! Love to see more of his story.
I never realized how fascinating it would be to listen to a master plasterer! Fascinating!
Very cool! Phil restoring the Range Rover!
Love Alex’s photography! Give him a raise Billy.😊
As soon as the kitchen and hall are done you guys should have a community event. Set up tours and have a donations jar. Maybe have some sort of festival in the courtyard too
What a brilliant idea to show parts of the convent as an introduction. Just had to say...
Hi Billy, maby a fancy spiral steel staircase on the outside into the court yard for Ryan from his unit. That will make it easier, to get to his parking. Love your vlog.
Good idea. It would also serve as a fire escape from the upstairs apartment
Does Simon have his own channel with the project hes doing at his home?
