Hi Billy, that "new" valve SHOULD NOT BE DRIPPING WATER. It is either a second hand one or it is faulty. I just sit riveted to the screen watching this series of yours. Absolutely wonderful. Regards from South Africa
@@ThePethericks that’s good I noticed that also good it is fixed now You such a Amazing person Billy you see potential where no one else sees ……Looking forward to see you tackle this project….Blessings Billy
Man, my office used to be in the basement of an old 1950's court house here in the states, and the amount of weird stuff I'd hear working overnights, boots on tile steps, keys jingling, furniture moving around when there's no-one else in the building. I can only imagine what that place is like on a quiet night. So cool to watch!
Everything is moving along nicely Billy! I do wish you would wear a mask when you go up into that attic that worries me for your lungs! Fantastic video as usual and grateful for the take along😊Keep them coming... you have us all captivated and on the edge of our seats! Do you take care of yourself see you on the next one.🥂🙏
looking at those roof cavities, with that fluffy insulation. Would probably be best to replace all that with more modern insulators and then board it over the top to add a little extra, and also add more storage space and not have to worry about falling through the ceiling below.
Two years late, but not only the insulation fibers. Any rodent droppings or urine stirred up in the air can be a major health hazard. It was the cause of a lot of deaths in the US in four neighboring states back in 1993 until the cause “hantavirus” was discovered.
Loving this video! Ghost cam and Nun cam 🤣! Those funnel shaped weights I believe could be for sewing to hold down the fabric when cutting it out. Maybe the nuns made the garments for several churches around the region? Such an exciting project! 🤗❤️🇨🇦
Wow! That attic was creepy! You wouldn’t have caught me dead up there rifling around. I give you lots of credit and look forward to your videos every Sunday.
Another wonderful video! That staircase is amazing, and goes all the way up to the attics, I wonder who paid for all of that. I have come across some old photos of the convent and hospital online. It seems that Sadie apartment was an add on..u can see that the present wall with the gate is not symmetrical and to me has always looked off.. the front wall,of ‘Sadie’s apartment is the left side of the original gate. Can’t wait to see what you have found in the way of iron gates. I have found census record for the town of Ernee, a census was taken every 5 years, they date from 1836 to 1936. The names of the people who lived there are listed and what their jobs were. All very interesting and I have been down a few rabbit holes of religious history and the history of hospitals inFrance.
I like that you examine mundane things, appreciate them and put back where they were. Thanks for letting us explore with you. The convent is a treasure.
Hi Billy😎 you’re so brave up there exploring by yourself haha I wish you would wear a mask to protect from mold spores… thanks for sharing your journey through this spectacular project
I agree, that staircase is gorgeous...what a fun expedition, wonder if anyone on the outside saw you open that window...the ghost perhaps...lol...exciting about the bell and gates, I'm just blown away by all the exterior work you've done already...those roses, DIVINE!!!
Progress, progress, progress! Interesting to see the arch forms! Seems like the nuns ran a textile mill of some sort. Not uncommon for nuns to make lace or linens. Crack on Billy!
The hand-hewn wooden beams, old masonry frames, & discarded bits & bobs that say so much about the past are all priceless. Not spooky up there in the daytime, the attic echos with history. Cheers to another fab update & good luck getting the bell & gates.✌
Spectacular videos, Billy! I think a whole family sleepover in the convent would make some great video!!! 😁😁😁 What an outstanding property! And all your new discoveries! I can’t wait for the bell replacement and the new gates! Cheers! 😊❤️🎶👏👏👏🏆💡💡💡🇨🇦🇫🇷
Great news about the bell and gates. Looking forward to that adventure! Love all the work being done, it is so nice to see this lovely old structure coming back to life.
If you removed all of the old insulation from the attics, you just might find some interesting artifacts from the days when the place was actually in use as a convent. Then it would just be matter of replacing the insulation with new.
Looks like cleaning out that attic to discover and organize all its treasures, and then replacing the insulation, definitely needs to be added to the "to do" list! (Although I'm sure that list must be very long already!)
Was so looking forward to this as I am each and every week! Loved the pun when you found the old pack of cigarettes and said it's an old "habit" to break! With all that insulation up in the attic, do you wear a mask at all? And walking all across the attic on that insulation. I'm sure the flooring is sturdy, but man I would be leery. Great job and love your videos! I sure hope you get the bell and the gates! Thanks Billy!
A spooky huge attic to say the least and I’m not the least surprised that you feel itchy after being up there. Huge step upgrading the plumbing. The convent grounds look better and better as the weeks go by. xx
The linen fabric you found probably was used by the nuns to make their habits , as well as altar cloths for the 💒 ALSO since it was a hospital long ago Bed sheets and bandages. The rope lines in the attic may gave been to dry bandages in the winter since the lines were not very high from floor. We are used to disposable bandages but they could not afford all that linen. They would have boiled the diety linens. Also as women they needed sanitary napkins which women made from old bed linens and they were washed also 8n boiling hot water but to dry them...they would have been discreet.
Yes, I believe you are right about sanitary napkins. Bandages would have been kept closer to the hospital areas, no point putting them up in the attic.
Billy, so cool discoveries!! The carry thing you found that looked like it was meant to carry something? This typically would have been used to parade a Sacred Heart of Jesus, Virgin Mary or a patron saint figure in a pilgrimage. Depending on the convent it may have been richly decorated or gilded the cushions would have been elaborate or not, as would the statue in the old Catholic tenant's this convent would have fallen under. It's something that belongs in or near your Chapel.
It is called a bier...they have been used since ancient times. Our church used one on Christmas eve with a baby Christ child ...the priest would go before it with incense. It was draped 8n white satan , rather ornate. ALTAR BOYS CARRIED THE BIER.
Always so fun to see these rarely seen parts of an old building. I would be fun to put all the found items together and see how they can be reused or displayed somehow. Thanks for sharing once again Billy.
That was really interesting Billy! I was so nervous about you walking around on the insulation, because usually attics have areas that might not be boarded. I assume the entire floor is boarded? If they used to dry sheets up there, maybe the little 'room' was a place to sit and rest, must have been hard carrying wet sheets up those stairs!
Billy : sometimes you make a funny and you don't even realize it and then just carry on.....I chuckled when you said " the nuns must have been smoking , its a hard HABIT to quit ".......nuns wear habits so it was a double entendre.....you make me laugh , thanks Cherryl from Canada
Fascinating tour! I believe the old linen pieces were worn out garments that are ripped up and used for rags and cleaning. Anyone that lived through the early part of the 1900’s knew how much they saved everything and reused it. My mother had rags like that her whole life. You are correct the ropes were for hanging wet laundry. I recognized that right away. I am sure they hung the laundry up there especially in the winter or rainy season.
What's most interesting about the attic is the level of detailing on the bannister etc. Almost as though they came from another older structure and the nuns used it because it was cheaper than having a new staircase etc being built and installed. Otherwise why would you go to the bother (& expense) of installing such ornate work just for an attic?
Hello Billy boo 😊 Long time no see" Very excited to see how all is coming along.... Ahhh brilliant 👏Truly I was just going to sagest Buying Camaras lol lol 🤭 I do believe my dear friend Just a few ghosts about Billy Making sure all is well.... Ahh Don't be scared... I find this Just fascinating 👍 Lovely video boo please do more Soon I'm missing you all so much Really... I'm actually on the mending from a accident so I need to see More of your daily videos please 🙏 Will ttfn: give my love to the family please 💞💐
Hello Billy, The building is so huge, every time I watch your fabulous videos I am amazed. All the time you were in the attic I was wishing you had a special mask on. 😷 Fibre glass too, please wear one in future. I would have been terrified of mice or rats even though there is nothing to eat. Buy something has been or is nesting up there. Ditto another comment the drip from the new water pipe connection isn't very reassuring. I hope the plumber sorted this out. It's very interesting to watch these historic discoveries. Xxxx🌟🥰
Pau is really nice, enjoy yourself there. With some nice weather there are beautiful views from the Boulevard de Pyrenees. And get yourself some chocolate with basque pimento.
That attic is a huge renovation project regarding getting all that failing insulation out and putting in new stuff. So excited you might have found a bell and new gates. Looking forward to next weeks vlogs. Thanks for sharing 😍😘
From the drone footage we can see the amazing improvement to the yard. You really are moving at an amazing space. When you say there are part of the convent you are not going to use, what do you mean?
There are but not as many tribes in the land that became the u.s. made permanent structures like mexican/ central/south American indigenous people did. (Aztecs etc.)
The first video about the convent got suggested to me, and since I started watching yesterday I am absolutely invested. I wish I was a professional ghost hunter, because I would LOVE to spend a few nights there and ghost hunt, hahahaha. Absolutely gorgeous building and I appreciate that you are restoring so much of the old features! Good luck on all the work that everyone still has to do!
Watching you walk through that insulation made me very itchy ☺️ thanks for sharing as you explore the convent. So happy you were able to source a new bell and gates for the convent. Steve is doing such great work clearing the courtyard and the buildings of the old dead ivy. The place has come a long way in a short time!
Wow Billy it’s amazing how your channel is growing like crazy. Look at the views on the last few videos and subscriber numbers are high. You’ll be at 1 million before 2023z
That attic is huge!! I think like others that maybe you should replace the insulation. You never know what treasure you could find 😁👍take care all, Jan 👍🥰
Thank you Billy,it mad me feel itchy too. I would be inclined to move all the old Linen and wood from the attic ,and may be you could use the panelling some where, the small Arch formers could make nice decoration for somewhere, very interesting,xx
So many stories in the attic, don't you wish we could find out how it all got there. thanks for the interesting tour, and I cannot wait to see what the camera find.
Absolutely fascinating stuff. The staircase is beautiful. I can see some osmo coming its' way in the future. Pau is a long way for you to drive. It is a beautiful city and full of history. You may want to plan a day or so there for the vlog. It is where Napoleon used to go on holiday, so it should be worth the trip. I wonder if those ropes in the attic were for drying personal items. Can't have the nuns underwear on a washing line in full view! The convent does have a creepy feel to it, but it is very old, so lots of creaking wood. Good luck.
Enjoyed wandering the attic - thank you! - but you should wear a ventilator up there. The insulation could have asbestos or spun glass, which has no way to be cleared from your lungs... you and your family are as hard a working group as I've seen! Patti from central Kentucky - Horse country - USA
So interesting Billy The posts on the attic stairs are beautiful it’s a pity they’re up out of sight. Thanks for another snoop in the attic. Look forward to next weeks vid
Loved this vlog! Please don't throw away the linen! May be old altar linen. Just give it a good wash and see what you can use it for, Were you wearing a mask in the attic, Billy? Please consdier it next time. All the best! Patricia
cameras is a fantastic idea. only way to make sure there're no intruders other that Spirits, rats, and spiders. the attic makes me itchy just watching this.😱
I've said it before but it bears repeating...I LOVE these convent vlogs! Such an interesting place and I can't wait to see what you do with it. Thanks for your hard work, Billy!
Would love to see you let the dogs loose with the trackers on in the Convent. Imagine they find something new and unknown 😳. Also they can reach new bits in the gardens to. Even a gobro fixed to either just for fun. Plus love the dogs forest exploits 😆.
Thanks for showing us around the top attic Billy. It is fascinating for sure as you walk around and discover these items of interest. I do worry a little about what these hidden rooms could have been used for as sometimes the history is not what we’d like to hear but thank goodness we may never know or we could be pleasantly surprised, who knows, so it’s a mystery but very fascinating and interesting and enjoyable to see, thank you.
As they died, where did the bury the nuns? Can you check a nearby cemetery to see if you can find their graves? That would be interesting. Do you have any of their names? It would be great to research to see who they were and how long they were there for. Would love to know the back story. The history of the nuns and priests.
I was wondering this too. Often nuns would be buried in the grounds of their convents, but that doesn't seem to be the case here, unless they are in the part of the garden that has not been cleared yet.
I'm loving this. Came to this channel from life of ryan and wow that convent is amazing. I always wanted to renovate my own place but my ex husband was not a DIY person, so he preferred buying a house that needed minimum work. But when I get the money I'm going to try and renovate my own house and update it a bit as it was built in the 1950s and even though it has some amazing bones, it looks very outdated now
Billy, thanks for showing us the creepy attic, you’re brave going up there on your own. The cones filled with sand could have been stands for religious statues, to give more stability to the icon.

And mapping it out.
That first one was dripping!

They decorated the staircase all the way up to the attic. Remarkable. Thank You for sharing.
In the 18th century all that fiberglass wouldn't have been up there, so it might have been considered a much more habitable space.
Loving this video! Ghost cam and Nun cam 🤣! Those funnel shaped weights I believe could be for sewing to hold down the fabric when cutting it out. Maybe the nuns made the garments for several churches around the region?
Such an exciting project! 🤗❤️🇨🇦
I thought that they may be used for washing, drying and forming headdresses or wimples for the nuns. Just a thought!
I thought those "funnel shaped weights" were lightning rods to mount on the roof! 🌩🌩

Hi Billy😎 you’re so brave up there exploring by yourself haha I wish you would wear a mask to protect from mold spores… thanks for sharing your journey through this spectacular project
Yes I thought so too, fibre glass or whatever its made of will ruin your lungs.

Another great discovery. I would definitely clean the attic out, install updated insulation and then put up a door. Your convent is so pretty.
Billy you’re a brave man. I’d be too afraid to be alone anywhere in a place like that. Always cheering you on from this other side of the camera!
This man has a lot of "heart" for any and all undertakings. He's most definitely a Renaissance man.

Steady progress and lots of new discoveries in the old convent. Great job filming, editing and scoring the music. Thanks Billy🙏🏻❤️

I'm guessing it was to dry all the sheets from all the beds they had.
It would be hotter up there in summer than outside, the slate /tiles would absorb the sunshine and then let it out overnight.
Enjoyed wandering the attic - thank you! - but you should wear a ventilator up there. The insulation could have asbestos or spun glass, which has no way to be cleared from your lungs... you and your family are as hard a working group as I've seen! Patti from central Kentucky - Horse country - USA

It's just absolutely fascinating to go on tour of that place. I eagerly await each of your videos.
I love your videos, exploring the Convent is always so exciting!
Another great video, thank you, and have a great, safe week.
i cannot stop watching your channel!
cameras is a fantastic idea. only way to make sure there're no intruders other that Spirits, rats, and spiders.
the attic makes me itchy just watching this.😱
Grosse etoffe are mittens of rough cloth usually wool or some other garment made from low quality materials circa 1713-1758
I am really enjoying once a week vlogs. They are so well done. Thank you
I've said it before but it bears repeating...I LOVE these convent vlogs! Such an interesting place and I can't wait to see what you do with it. Thanks for your hard work, Billy!
Fascinated with this series!
The introductory scenes are amongst your best, jolly well done! So very proud of you all.👍
I miss the daily vlogs! I can imagine how hard it is to work and vlog but I sure miss them 😊
THANK YOU for sharing. Very exciting!
Would love to see you let the dogs loose with the trackers on in the Convent. Imagine they find something new and unknown 😳. Also they can reach new bits in the gardens to. Even a gobro fixed to either just for fun. Plus love the dogs forest exploits 😆.
You are so accomplished and doing it again ! ThankYou for the vlog
Thanks for showing us around the top attic Billy. It is fascinating for sure as you walk around and discover these items of interest. I do worry a little about what these hidden rooms could have been used for as sometimes the history is not what we’d like to hear but thank goodness we may never know or we could be pleasantly surprised, who knows, so it’s a mystery but very fascinating and interesting and enjoyable to see, thank you.
Your cinematography is my highlight of the week Billy! You're all doing an amazing job 👏
As they died, where did the bury the nuns? Can you check a nearby cemetery to see if you can find their graves? That would be interesting. Do you have any of their names? It would be great to research to see who they were and how long they were there for. Would love to know the back story. The history of the nuns and priests.
I was wondering this too. Often nuns would be buried in the grounds of their convents, but that doesn't seem to be the case here, unless they are in the part of the garden that has not been cleared yet.
@@prokkle4765 I have a feeling they are buried somewhere on the property unless they moved them to a cemetary.
Vos videos prennent forme de maniere intéressantes décidément ce lieux vous inspire merci
Just a tip, do some asbestos tests on the white isolation on the pipes en the isolation in the attic. Just to be sure ;)
it’s all been tested the insulation and pipe lagging is fiber glass
@@ThePethericks Awesome! one less thing to worry about in such an project.
The courtyard looks amazing, you’ve made great progress 👍
Thanks for the attic tour.
I'm loving this. Came to this channel from life of ryan and wow that convent is amazing. I always wanted to renovate my own place but my ex husband was not a DIY person, so he preferred buying a house that needed minimum work. But when I get the money I'm going to try and renovate my own house and update it a bit as it was built in the 1950s and even though it has some amazing bones, it looks very outdated now
Billy, thanks for showing us the creepy attic, you’re brave going up there on your own. The cones filled with sand could have been stands for religious statues, to give more stability to the icon.
I love your sense of adventure and exploration! Quite captivating!
Fantastic video. Thank you much. Springfield, Missouri, USA. Suggest gloves if you are putting your hands on old stuff & a mask to ward off mold.
