Go dad and yannis we are so proud of you all.

It's nice watching him learn. Got apprentices myself, I really love watching them evolve, grow, study, get through frustrations and difficult parts and gain confidence. It's so much better than putting someone down

As a mother and grandmother this really touches my heart to see the incredible skills and patience of Mr Petherick teaching young Yannis . He is learning so many things and acquiring so many skills that he can use throughout his lifetime. Wonderful! Simon that cabinet you fashioned with the access panel was perfection ! We recently put in a new kitchen and had to create a similar panel. My husband built the entire kitchen as we started 3/2020 and due to the pandemic couldn’t have people in our house. I will show him he will really appreciate your craftsmanship. This is his 70th time around the sun . Billy you are doing a fantastic job and your very blessed to have such a great team , but I think you know that.

Love that you are training Yannis in all aspects, letting him get involved is the only way to really learn & get the feel, kudos ❤

The reflection of the tile on the oven viewing windows is simply sublime.

This project is so exciting! You're turning something that was cold and abandoned into a warm and very inviting place. "Team Petherick" is a remarkable group of talented folks with gentle hearts. ❤ from Canada.

Yannis is never too shy to try a new learning experience. Way to go, you're a great teacher Mick.

Absolutely beautiful. You should be well proud of all the hard work you’ve done.

3 cheers for Papa Mick for mentoring Yannis and being a great work ethic example to the team. Beautiful cooker!

Mick is such a lovely man, always steady as a rock, and taking it one task at a time. He and Yanis spent a lot of time in that garden after Simon left, and now he is teaching Yanis the digger…I think he is going to catch on quickly., I’m sure he is excited to get his hands on it. The polite thank you to Mick for showing him was beautiful. He and Simon working together is like ballet, they are never in each other’s way/. It’s nice to see Billy getting more excited as each step in the kitchen gets closer to done. Bravo all.🖤🇨🇦

Nothing better for learning than hands on. Yanis is becoming an all around great asset to any construction company. His eagerness to learn is heartwarming.

Yannis is having a the time of his life driving the little hoe ( digger) , Billy your dad is so wonderful to teach Yannis. The language barrier and all! Yannis is learning so many skills!

lol, boys and their toys! You’ll have reports of lights in the the yard at midnight, Yanis out there on the digger 😂How much fun! Kitchen comin’ along👍🏻 Nice camerawork Alex 😊

Excellent Filming today. Alex . Your closeups are amazing. Your give sawdust a story and a background and a soundtrack. The winter sunshine is really working in your favour. So many skills on display today. You did everyone proud ,Well done,

It is such fun to watch Mick & Yanis interact. Mick is just such a nice man and you can tell Yanis respects him. Mick teaching Yanis all about operating the digger is a great idea. I doubt Mick will be retiring any time soon. He seems to really be enjoying being on the team and helping out. As for Simon he is just a master of all trades. There does not seem to be anything he can't do! Billy the kitchen is looking beautiful so far. It will be a show stopper when you get it all finished. Alex you must enjoy keeping up with everyone, because the videos are amazing.

Watching Yannis learn is somehow very, very encouraging!

Yannis is willing to try anything he is not scared of hard work .

I think Yannis wakes up and drinks rocket fuel for breakfast. 🚀 He is always engaged and such a quick learner. 🧡

T he kitchen is now looking even more amazing . Your choices of cooker and units is second to none bravo Billy👏👏 Yanis is a man who just loves to learn and another thing he has learned from Mick today. Working all well together as usual. Loved watching. Crack On😍

The great thing for Yanis, is that there are still so many more rooms to do at the convent, so he can be there for years, learning, and becoming a professional.

That's the size of a professional kitchen. You somehow get a walk-in freezer and cooler setup in there, you could host large events on-site. Conferences, weddings, etc. That size kitchen would feed a lot of people all at once.

That range is to die for. 😍 Yannis cracks me up, hes such an eager worker.

Yes Yanis you sure are a professional. How quick he learns 🎉🎉🎉👍👍👍 Kitchen is looking great 😊

Someone WILL cook in that thing, some day. So might as well fix it right, now. Our retreat center had an exhaust vent clean once a month; & we were a vegetarian kitchen. In town, an over one-hundred year old building burned to the ground, when their meat-cooking stove vent-a-hood caught on fire, then caught the "between the floor" area up above on fire. That place hadn't cleaned their vent in ages. 😢 It is very sweet to see a young man first learning to handle a large equipment. ❤️

Yannis is such a fast learner, and Mick is very patient as is Simon. Considering the language barrier, they do well communicating instructions👍🏻🤗. I must say that Yannis is speaking English better and better every day👏🏻

Every time I see Mick he reminds me of my dad. He is such a hard worker and so kind to show Yannis the ropes. Yannis is a fast learner and so willing. He will go far!!!

Yannis, great job on the digger….you are a natural!!

The range cooker looks great with the hood and splash back. 👍

It's beautiful and the floor reflection makes it even more beautiful.

As much as I’ve grown to love this crew, and as much as I love the look of this kitchen, I’m in agreement about the "cookability" of the layout. It’s drop dead gorgeous but not very functional. I’d need some rollerskates to get around from the fridge to the sink to the range and over to the cabinets for pots and pans. Maybe the big island will help as a staging space. I’m just not used to everything spread out when I’m making a meal…don’t hate me for wondering about the whys. I’m very supportive of this project and I thoroughly appreciate everyone involved. Just hoping you don’t have any regrets.

Not functional at all which doesn’t make sense to me. Wouldn’t be able to drain pasta or get things from the fridge without a lot of distance to a sink.

What a great cast of characters. I love watching these multi-talented guys at work. That access panel they adapted to the inside of the cabinet was brilliantly done.

A suggestion I hope you don't mind. Between the dining room and the kitchen in the area you are calling the reception area (I think) could be a butlers pantry, it would make serving guests so much easier. Then using the original reception area as the the reception as it will give a grand entrance feel between the library and the chapel.

Your dad needs a chipper. It would clean up the crap from the gardens and make nice mulch. Waiting for it to decay won't work well.

Love Mick working with Yannis teaching him how to run the digger... I can tell it's a passion of his. Billy the kitchen is looking amazing... everyone especially Paddy is doing a fabulous job at getting it all put together... can't wait to see the workshop and the doors.

What beautiful kitchen, 2 dishwashers a women’s dream lol. Amazing work guys

My Grandson would love to be in Yannis's shoes right now. What a treat.

Alex, you got so many great shots during the cabinet construction! Just beautiful. Music, too!

Oh, hey, pro- tip on cleaning extraction vent filters, even bar & grill ones: those square pieces can be taken to the (manual) car wash, Just clip them up where the car mat clips are. Or pressure wash them.

Gorgeous! The Garden will be beautiful again in the Spring. You have the Dream Team back together again. Even Rick showed up last Vlog! Great Job!

I would be cooking everything on that range. Looks fantastic, but you need some small open shelves to hold spices and utensils hanging to the side. Maybe should have considered having two dishwashers in a kitchen that size.

Go Yannis go! What skills you are learning. Will do you well in life. Billy’s Dad is a wealth of knowledge.
