I'm so glad to see Yannis in the first part of the video. His english is coming along really well. He seems to be very happy with his work and life.

It's amazing how addictive it is to watch these episodes. Every day I can't wait to see the progress that is being made.

Loved the greeting by Yannis!

Loved Yannis's welcome. His English is doing well!! He's a hard working young lad. The organ is coming on brilliantly and the kitchen is looking fantastic! Well done all of you !!

I too am an artist, a painter and love watching Michael get excited over choosing colors and restoring old patinas, even Billy choosing perfect colors for the kitchen...it makes all the difference...so satisfying...wonder what the town folk think when they hear the bell...lol...

I love watching the excitement in Michael’s eyes when he talks about getting the organ operating. Nick is doing an excellent job of explaining the process.

Can I just take a minute to acknowledge the humble but incredibly talented & hardworking tradespeople around the world who quietly go about their work... without them all, where would we be? Huge respect 🙏 Thank you.

I'm an older woman and about 40 years ago I had a g/f take me to her church, and they had a pipe organ. I live in the U.S. The sound and vibration was so beautiful that you felt it down to your soul! Because of the acoustics of the room, I still remember it to this day. Watching you refurbish your organ, and am very fascinated with how many parts it has. I can't wait to hear the sound of this very old pipe organ. I think it may bring tears to everyone's eye. Great job to everyone involved!

So considerate to give Yannis a moment to shine. It is obvious that he has been inspired by Simon. It’s amazing to follow your steps everyday. As they used to say in the old days of radio « Congratulations for your beautiful program ». Sending love to each and everyone of you guys! Now off to Nick’s channel to subscribe. ☮️💟🇨🇦

I'm so glad Alex is back. Good job, Alex!

Going amazing. So glad Yannis has the opportunity to train with such skilled carpenters.

As a musician, I appreciate the history of music and the musical instruments through the centuries, their construction, innovation and technology at the time of construction. Also, the subsequent 'redecoration' and configuration through the years as materials, knowledge and technology changes. Also, I appreciated Michael's excitement at revealing the original colours that lay under the layers of dirt and grime on the walls.

These workers are artistry in motion! So detailed in their work.

You all just keep getting better and better in every possible way. This is rather enchanting with Pip on the scene, so great to include him in the great organ build!

Nick is a natural on camera, thank you Daddy Moon for helping out, I know you must miss your family….

Honestly, your work on the organ and the music you’ve used to produce these videos has been first rate. Almost emotional. Thank you all for conserving an important piece of history. So proud of you all.

I had the same thought!

This was a really cracking episode, Billy. We have the adorable Yiannis in the opening scenes. We see the gorgeous skirting boards being expertly fitted in the best kitchen in the world. We get to hear the bell being rung, albeit to expel the pigeons and finally all the progress on the organ. I love the idea of using the colours of the chapel on the organ. Gold, pink, turquoise and the creamy beige will make her look so pretty and definitely part of the convent, her new home. Short of it snowing and Tinkerbell making an appearance, it had it all (including Mick). Truly wonderful. 😆❤ Please give a thumbs up people.👍

It’s been absolute poetry watching this process. I now have a wealth of completely unexpected & utterly useless pipe organ knowledge. And I am hopelessly riveted on every detail. 😂 At the least, you’ve forever changed my experience of pipe organ music. 💗

The most challenging jigsaw puzzle ever. Almost unbelievable that you are not only able to piece it all together but know exactly what each piece is for. Truly remarkable and truly mesmerising to watch. You are an amazing team.

Truly Amazing!!! So fascinating to observe this restoration.

I am so enjoying this organ project. What an undertaking. It is so good to have Michael around again. Welcome back, Alex. It's good to see your famous b-rolls once more. I never knew that organs had a "swell box." This project has been some of your best work, Billy. Thanks. 🧡

Nick's vocal demonstration of the swell box made me laugh out loud. Crack on, guys!

75 year old lady from South Africa. 😊 Love watching The Pethericks and everyone helping Billy to rebuild this organ to make beautiful music again. You all do amazing work.❤

So,good seeing Yannis open this episode! Just as he was coached by Simon! Great job Yannis!❤❤

Everyone on the team is drawn to the organ. It is magic how all these leavers and panels, screws and wind chambers, when precisely alined and secured, turn into a complex box that, when played, creates music to stir one's soul. The patience and commitment to precision of both Michael and Nick is a wonder to behold. When Michael was checking the paint chips against the colors of the decor, he made several discoveries that were previously unknown. The mind boggles as to what the restoration of the Chapel will reveal. Another treasure box for future videos. It makes me wonder if the vibrations from the organ will loosen some of that cracked plaster work. Brilliant video today. As always, thanks for taking us along.

In a world that is full of anger, violence and sadness at the moment....its a joy to watch such love and kindness on your daily videos. Two amazingly talented families working together is a joy to watch and respite from the hatred we are seeing today. The organ project is truly fascinating...can't wait for that first note to resound around the Chapel. X

Yannis saying good morning! He’s working on the windows outside, the man is putting in the baseboards (his name was stated but I don’t remember), Nick and Michael are being perfectionists on the organ rebuild, and you can see that Billy’s Dad (Mick I think) has cleared the garden of the convent and the rest of the families are doing all the things that they do so these terrific guys can do these worthwhile jobs. Good for all of you, exemplary people of character and humor. Thank you for the videos!

Happy to hear about plans to paint the organ, it will look amazing. Intro by Yannis was excellent, his English is improving. The skirting in the kitchen is looking very nice. Thanks Billy, Michael and Nick.🙏❤️

Love the fluidity of this channel. Short or long vids, solo or with the team, construction, gardening or whatever else, it always feels like we're just along for the ride. Keep it up.

Totally agree 👍

The baseboard in the kitchen looks wonderful! It's a detail that is like frosting on a cake. Everyone at the convent is working on projects and are making such great strides. Plus, I am a new subscriber to the Moon's KZread channel and have been enjoying it immensely. The pastured race horses are stunning in today's episode, they are magical.

How does this channel not have 500K subscribers? Fascinating and inspirational project, engaging and dedicated people and excellent videography! What more could anyone ask for?

That first scene is genius with Yanni opening the window & doing the”crack on” thing.

I have watched this channel for years. But have to say the anticipation of each day of this organ rebuild has me captivated. As a church organist for many years I love the sound and majestic music they give to a church service. Great work keep going.

I wish I could like every episode 100 times!!! I’m so incredibly happy I found this channel almost a year ago . It’s totally addictive and gives me so much joy every day 😊 This organ project is so wonderful to watch as I have played the organ since I was six years old. The other renovating and the historic perspective is addicting to me as I studied archaeology at Uni. I loved the metal detecting and when you find special stuff ! I’ve found my place on KZread ❤❤❤ So much respect for Billy and his gang of good men🎉🎉🎉

Today's warm greeting was quite a sweet surprise from our hardworking and productive friend, Yannis. He's a star in the making! 🥰💕🌟 Yannis, we're thrilled that you've joined team PETHERICK at the convent, and we can't wait to get to know you better. You have fans who love you from all over the world. Blessings! 🙏

Outstanding craftmanship, fantastic photography, and wonderful music accompanying the work. A most enjoyable work in progress. I have seen many pipe organs and never had the appreciation for the workmanship necessary to create such an amazing instrument. Thanks to all who are making this restoration possible and for restoring this convent.

Thank you for your introduction Yannis! Nick, thank you for explaining what you are all doing to the organ so clearly to us all. Love the atmospheric music to accompany this very professional video as always. What beautiful oak skirting board, and the guy is fitting is so carefully. This Convent is so very lucky that you saved her Billy - all the love, blood sweat and tears that have gone into her restoration is just amazing. xxx

This is so exciting to a 70 year old granny in America watching this beautiful organ be reconstructed! I watch everyday and just wish you all God’s Blessings for your work with such love and care for the organ the convent and all that you and the Moon’s do♥️♥️

Yannique ! Si adorable! Plus! The work going into the kitchen, the organ, the garden is exciting! How much everyone is giving to this project! Congratulations to everyone, including those we don't see or of whom we see little. What is amazing is how much you all gain personally in experience, skill, and inspiration! Looking forward to the story and paintings of Pip, the projects, and individuals who are not in video at the moment. Great work, Nick and Michael! Billy and Michael, a story about the crying lady who is really a pigeon. Maybe about hideaways in the attic and Pip's pigeon friends and the nuns who help them escape from...???

I miss the old world. At least the craftsmanship and detail. Slower paced life.

I find the rebuilding of the organ facinating! Great job guys.

I’m so glad that Alec is back so Billy can focus on getting all the jobs he has in the pipeline done and also spend time with Gwen and the boys when they are done for the day.

I have been watching your channel for quite some time and I have come to a conclusion . All of your family are so dedicated to the restoration of the structures that you have taken responsibility for . I have just watched the repair of the organ bellows the care and patience that was taken in placeing the repair patch and then the pride that he had when it dried it was amazing !...!...!

I loved Yanis’s welcome. He is such an asset to all you do at the convent. Love watching the organ rebuild.

In just a few weeks you fellas have almost built a whole pipe organ in time for christmas, whereas I haven`t even managed to buy a single card or pressie...... The team are doing an amazing job. How wonderful. CRACK ON!

Hello Yanis! It is good to hear from you and see you on site! The wall skirting looks so beautiful. The carpenter is a craftsman of high standards! Alex, you videography and music accompaniment is such high quality! Welcome back! Billy, you must be so pleased with all the work getting completed all around the convent. I get so wrapped up with all the progress, that I don't want the video to end!

Fantastic work. So exciting to hear it played.

Impressive to say the least. I cannot wait to hear her play 🎼Y'all are moving right along at a great speed.

"Teamwork makes the dream work" Looks spectacular, Gents! Welcome back Alex!🎉

Hi guys, another lovely episode, very funny frightening the pigeons out of the tower with the bell chimes 😊

I bet the sisters are pleased. So enjoy watching this process, and seeing Michael every day. How I have missed you!

Fascinating to watch this beautiful pipe organ come back to life. Thanks for sharing.

Amazing work on the organ! I can’t believe they’re getting it back together! So impressed.

I've watched and enjoyed this channel, I guess, since before Billy and Gwendolyn acquired the convent. The masterful techniques Alex uses bring the channel to quite a fine level of viewing. Thank you. ❤🎉❤🎉😊

I love Nick in the videos! He has a quirky sense of humor and fits in well. I do miss Simon though! Loving the music. I have to watch twice sometimes because I zone out listening.

Billy, the kitchen floor NEVER ceases to amaze...beautiful!

How exciting to see the organ coming along! This is so much fun watching that Organ going up in the Chapel!

Do the neighbors get alarmed when the bell rings, after so many years of not having a bell in the tower? I think hearing it would bring a smile to the community, knowing that you are bringing life back to the building. 😊

Wow. No offense Billy but i sure can tell Alex is back! Beautiful videography.

This project is endlessly fascinating. The age and complexity of the organ is absolutely mind boggling. What sort of brilliant mind must you have to design and craft so many intricate pieces to make the most wonderful sound that an organ does. I simply can`t get my head round it. Shim, shim, shiminy shims.....All this technical jargon is beyond me.🤣😂🤣

OMG, the challenges are enormous & the way they are worked out takes an amazing amount of talent to overcome, well done gentleman ❤

Pip is so hard working, you guys are so fortunate to have her helping by supervising the project. Her home is coming along beautifully. You guys are doing an amazing job here, as it’s such a monumental task you boys are undertaking here, the chapel is going to look stunning when the organ is in place & finished. I’m sure others are as proud you all as I am, ❤️ & blessings from Australia. 🇦🇺🍺.

Amazing! Michael, you are so meticulous and detail oriented. Wonderful job!

I think we should ask Alex to take some really clever individual portraits of all the wonderful people that Billy has employed on this massive renovation story so there can be a wall of honour. Or their portrait and story of their skills and contribution could be displayed where their main work was done. I think it would add to the story and character of this awesome project. Plus it would be amazing if there were any photos of the monasteries past life with the Nuns, that could also be displayed somewhere special

Loving every 💓 bit of this stellar work! You are on the front lines of reminding folks to never lose sight of the past! We've been drifting backward with craftsmanship and beauty for so long. This is a keen reminder of what we should all strive for! Can't wait to hear the Old Girl sing again ❤ Heaven is with you!

The more you accomplish in restoring the organ, the more I realize how complex and intricate this process is. You all make it look so easy. Kudos to EVERYONE!

Wow! Billy, every vlog you do just gets better and better. Great to see Yannis do the intro. Simon did a great job teaching him new skills. Now, whether or not The Pethericks team intentionally meant to do so, they're doing a great job teaching him English. I don't know if KZread has an award for best channel on the site, but if they do, The Pethericks is a shoo-in.

It never ceases to amaze the craftsmen you employ what a gifted carpenter you have been using

There are so many interesting and fascinating things happening in this video! Craftsmen everywhere. It boggles my mind to see the master carpenter installing the baseboards in the kitchen. No wonder that the windows and doors he built are as beautiful as they are. They’ll last a century at least.

Yaaay Yannis, great introduction 😊

I squealed when Yannis did the intro! Well done Yannis, your English was perfect! Great Video Alex, I especially loved the stained glass footage and the Master Carpentry in the kitchen was amazing to watch. Michael has done amazingly well replacing and patching the leather on the bellows, the way it folded down was pure skill! Sleep well everyone, that was a hard day's work.

This is riveting….better than watching most tv……..keep up the great work everyone…..👏👏👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧

Hi Yannis , great introduction 👋. Love watching your vlogs Billy. Nick and Michael making good progress. I’m subscribed to the Moon’s channel, it’s great. So funny running away in the attic Billy 😂great filming Alex xxx💕💕💕

I am completely invested on seeing this project through to the end, Billy! No matter how long it takes ;) Also, you guys ALWAYS keep me laughing :)

Hi- Erik- I am so happy that you are providing a retirement home for Elite Sport Horses.- I hope to support your channel in the future. Hugs and love to your family. and Billy it is great to see you and Michael and your Dad helping out as well. I do agree the organ needs repainting and sprucing up. Looking forward to its completion and Michael can start playing as well. :D

Bravo, Yanis, for doing a great introduction! Alex, honestly I could close my eyes and just listen to the gorgeous music you always pick for these videos. Wonderful work on the organ Michael, Billy, and Nick, and great work in the kitchen.

Thank you, Billy, for sharing this wonderful adventure. Watching the organ come alive with the help of some amazing, wonderful, talented friends is amazing. Can't wait to hear how beautiful it will sound. Everyday l look forward to watching the progress of the build. Thank you for sharing.❤

Good job Yannis 👏🏼👏🏼, welcome back Alex, wonderful job Michael, Nick, Billie And Mick…..and the carpenter. 👍🏼 You could get some hallucinate corn to keep the pigeons out , that’s what they use in the big city buildings to keep them away. 😂 🙋🏼‍♀️

Great job Yanis on doing the intro. Your English is getting really good.

Absolutely beautiful music and work by everyone

Something to consider so far as matching paint colors goes, that whole room will have been subject to UV fading. Meaning the colors you’re seeing now are not the same colors it was originally painted, even after cleaning. You’ll likely find some patches in shadier areas that are more saturated than other bits that got loads of direct sun. Sample a lot of different patches around the room, not just one, and before you paint anything, and make very sure it’s clean before you add any more layers. You’ll likely need to get a painting conservator in to advise / help with restoring the chapel, especially looking at that ceiling; don’t be too surprised if you feel like the organ needs a bit of color tweaking after 😂

I wonder if using a smoke machine plugged into the bellows will allow you to check for any minuscule holes that may have been missed/test the seals of the repairs that you have already made. Thanks for another awesome video!!

I have to say this channel gets better and better! Not enough words to tell you how entertaining it is to watch every aspect!! ❤ Good job a Billy and to everyone involved!

Alex ALEX we love having you back! A credit to your craft mate! Will be incredible to be able to say you worked on the convent.

I appreciate people who take on a job even when they may not have ever done it before. They problem solve all day long and just get it done.

Wonderful video Alex! Yannis I loved your welcome! Other than Michael and Pip, who can play the organ?

Just beautiful, and starting with a lovely welcome from Yannis…who could ask for more.🖤🇨🇦

The organ, the bell, the sacristy cabinet, and all the restoration work makes me believe The Convent has reached a new stage of being more than its individual parts. Wow has Billy and everyone done a great job.

It's all absolutely amazing. Michael, the color on the walls was astounding to watch it come to life with a bit of cleaning.

I don’t look forward to this video ending as it is so fascinating to watch. Thanks to you and all your team, Billy.

Yannis you did great opening the video. There is so much happening in this video. The skirting boards are superb. If it’s possible the kitchen looks even better. I knew the organ would be intricate work however watching all of the work being down is just absolutely fascinating. There is beautiful old craftsmanship in the use of wood to be followed by new craftsmanship with wood and yet again I’m gobsmacked and delighted to see you being so precise as it’s so important to get the organ working. I believe it said there is a low tolerance for this rebuild. Thank you for explaining what’s happening as you proceed. It helps me to understand the process. Those pigeons must have had the fright of their lives. I get astounded at how much you have accomplished already at the convent Billy. Thank you. May you please take care and stay safe. Louisa. 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩 Edit : corrections as I can’t write today. 🤭

The music at the start was wonderful Alex. Well done! I’m living watching the Organ come together.

Truly blessed to watch this reconstruction. Thanks for sharing

Your fiddle music is wonderful. Love it!

It's wonderfully refreshing to see how much you care about the craftsmanship both past and present, as you preserve his beautiful building and the organ for the future.

Awesome photography and editing. Such a unique series. Thank you for explaining the process so well
