Don't forget that when it comes to those tunnels under the chateaux if it comes down to using a pump, you might also want to get a sewerage tank pumps, to be extra careful with gases and such down there when going down to explore. I know it's common knowledge, but it amazes me that people get excited and reckless and climb down into those places, and end up unconscious and dead before they even realise something was ever wrong.
I came to say the same thing. There are various gases that can be a problem besides carbon monoxide (CO)...hydrogen sulfide (H2S), ammonia (NH3), methane (CH4)...that can be either toxic or that can displace enough oxygen to result in hypoxia.
Earnest looks so like his mummy. I miss the daily's but this was a good one. I hope the cat hasn't been locked in the attic or basement. Keep us updated.
Ernest was so serious when Billy asked him 'if he could drive the vehicle?' and he says 'no I am not big enough', how cute was that. Was so nice to see Billy and Ernest having a daddy and son time together. That was exciting finding the man hole cover to the Tunnel . Can not wait for the summer till you can investigate, I only hope the previous owners did not run the toilets into the tunnel. Another lovely video and can not wait for next weeks. Have a great week Billy and family.
After all the digging Michael and Florian did, they must be annoyed that you located it so quickly! The beauty of technology can be a great help! Exciting regardless. As you said, it will be something you can investigate during drier times👍🏻
Regarding the cat. Have the owner bring something with her scent on it like a blanket, pillowcase etc. the cat’s litter box anything the cat will recognize. Don’t give up on the trap, you just have to have patience and it takes time. Cover the trap with something like the blanket from the owner making sure the cat can enter. Wishing you the best of luck.
Oh this finding of the tunnel could make things very interesting. It looked very smelly. You are sensible to check where the sewer goes. You could have another issue. I wouldn’t just pump it out until you know what the watery fluid is. Great find though. Good luck with the catching. That new machine is massive and it looks as if Phil did a great job on it. Hats look great. Go Steve and Sean. Great work. Thank you. May you all please take care and stay safe. Louisa.👏👏👏❤❤❤🤩🤩🤩
I think I prefer this format of weekly videos ...more to enjoy. I suggest baiting the cat trap with something smellier like a packet of sardine wet food for cats.
It's definitely cool seeing the kids involved in helping dad. Use one of your battery packs, suspend an effluent pump down the hole and let it run a few hours and see how low the water level drops. Probably need to do that anyway to explore the tunnels. The effluent pump should be able to handle some soft dirt, as opposed to a sump pump which will clog. Or, go hog wild and rent a gas motorized pump and see where you get. Edit: as you said, it may have been repurposed as a septic tank or cesspit, so be careful. The black stuff near the bottom may be decomposing... well... you know. If you're not attached to city sewer or have a known tank, it's gotta be going somewhere. In the US, we'd install a septic tank and a drainfield to let the septic tank water soak in to the soil, but who knows what happened there.
I agree, get pumping! If it’s a septic receptacle now, maybe it wouldn’t hurt! Or if you have any kind of slope maybe you can get some gravity flow syphoning happening. The nitrogen could be good for the grass 😅
That’s awesome! Love seeing the aerial shots of the chateau and looking for the tunnel. Ernest is such an adorable little boy. Your property is truly gorgeous.
I actually like the weekly videos better. I had gotten to the point that I would check daily or every other day to catch up - and then after watching the dailies, would fall into the rabbit hole of TH-cam. I was wasting sooo much time! I'm also glad you are getting better quality time with your lovely family 💕
Gday from Australia! WOW the time taken on editing is really showing mate I love the intro! Sad not to have daily vlogs but understand its necessary to step it up a gear and get things done around the Convent! Love the results!
I do miss the daily videos but this is better for seeing the progress you are making at the convent. Interesting about the tunnel but it would be great if you found one that was open and could be explored. Who knows whats around to be found! Thanks for sharing and hope you have a great week.
Your boys are getting so big. They are adorable. It would be awesome if you could add a tour of the homes on your property that we haven't seen. Please also let Sadie know that we miss her.
Really enjoyed tonight’s video. I think the content in the weekly vlog is going to be terrific and well worth waiting for! So nice to see your boys too 😀
Excellent that you found that access point. See if you can get a water testing kit to find out if there is human waste or any harmful bacteria, etc in the water. Ladt thing you want is to get sick when you explore, plus itll give you a better idea if the plumbing was hooked up to it or not. Fun times!
Great video, Billy! I love the boys towards the end. And I also love seeing you and Sean outside enjoying a beer. You’re really making huge strides on the kitchen. Love seeing that. 💜🤟🏻🤗🦔🇺🇸
Hey BIlly, I had a thought.... The cat camera. Have you ever thought of using cat cameras on the top floor of the convent and leaving them as a live feed over a couple of days? I am sure it would create a lot of interest
I MISSED YOU ALL, DURING THE WEEK! And I've only just started watching but had to tell you that I have unexpected, actual tears of PURE JOY, hearing Billy's voice doing the intro, with the beautiful intro part of the video. 💕 to all from an auld lady in Southern California, USA.
I enjoyed watching this, it was a bit of everything. The Cinvent kitchen is looking good, I hope you find the missing cat. Lovely to see the children again, Ernest is growing up so quickly. Great find now you and Michael have another thing to add to your summer 'To do' list. Well done everyone 💕🇦🇺
Loved seeing your boys. Ernest so cute saying hes not big enough to drive your new toy😂 I really liked this vlog with the various subjects and locations although I do miss the daily ones too. Im not sure you found "the" tunnel but you did find something...like a drain off.
I love the intro where you take a slow glide through that infamous haunting hallway! 😂 Sorry you weren't able to catch the cat but with all the pigeons there it must think it's found the mother load!!! 😆
I miss seeing you and Shaun noodling about. Always some little nugget, no matter how small. It was like being there during the construction. But glad this gives you more time to dedicate to other things.
Fun vlog! Thanks! The Progress Sean And Steve have made is fantastic! Can’t wait to see the tunnel adventures! We’ve caught a few cats that have escaped or needed to be homed, so As for Dear Prince Kitty there. Try the trap again but cover it with a box, cats love boxes or dens even with the sent of his human like a blanket. Then try to make it smell less new, rubbing it in the dirt. As for bait try a nice smelly can of sardines they work best or some fresh chicken considering he’s loving fresh squab. I wish you much luck getting kitty. It sounds as though he’s being a bit wild and will be a handful when he’s back home.
I do miss the daily video's but the content that you have shared with us is brilliant. The kitchen is coming along quite quickly now. Hope you find the cat. Have a good week. 😊
Sure enjoyed the vlog. Love seeing Ernest's joy in working with his Dad! Can't wait to see the vlog where the tunnel is accessible. Great idea with the metal detector.
This was exciting to watch. It will be awesome to see the finish and to know the stories of both properties. I am still hoping I can come and volunteer for you.
That tunnel. Like you said, it was possibly the 'sewage' tunnel from back in the day they had no flushing toilets and no septic tanks. Would be interesting to see where it starts from and where it goes to.
Wow how much Ernest looks like his father and uncle Michael, and Ernest he is just so cute, you are a great family to follow and you always put me in a good mood, Thank you for your great effort with all those videos and you are incredibly hardworking and talented, I take my hat off to your wonderful mood and all that you get from the hand, Many hugs Maria Denmark,❤
Hey Billy, you don’t want a recirculating vent hood , you need one that will vent putside, especially above that range cooker..it has very high BTUs coming off it, and the recirc hood will not take care of smoke , smells and grease extraction..don’t install it exchange it for a outside vented version.
Pump it out so you can see inside. The kitchen is looking so modern but nice and clean. Miss the daily video's. I know they take alot of time to do. God bless.
Missing the daily’s, always watching you guys working hard when the Mrs was watching the her soaps, but loving how much more the kitchen is coming along, keep up the brilliant work chaps
Thankyou for another brilliant video, Those two boys of yours are gorgeous, Love the way Ernest said he's not big enough yet ,Definitely lots going on. Hey Billy could you have struck oil 🤔🙂, Hope prince Harfy is found soon , preferably alive 😃
hello everyone, (lovely children included) what an varied and interesting video, very enjoyable too - looking forwards to the next instalment. Best wishes from Lincolnshire.
If you do find the water level has dropped in the tunnel in the summer before going down there get yourself a gas detector, the mud at the bottom can hold all lsorts of nastiness and when disturbed can off gas
Earnest has grown now. Well done Sean and Steve for the help of the renovation. What a find I wonder if it will dry out by summer as like you said the previous owner did some pipe works, Fingers crossed that it does. Billy you have a another new toy again to add to your collection😂. Crack On see next Sunday
So happy for another episode! I loved the daily uploads, but I’m more than happy for a longer video and more progress! Love the content, amazing hard work! Crack on!
Good luck and Prayers sent on catching Prince Harry. I know what it's like to lose a fur baby. I finally trapped my cat after she survived in 2 hard Canadian winters and was living in the bush for 19 months. Use a can of tuna for bait. Nice elevator lift for the chateau. Ernest will be driving that in no time. He has really grown into a very bright Lad. The tunnel will be interesting once it dries up a bit. Good job on the Convent as well.
Billy- I hope Prince Harry is back home soon with his Pet mom. Also be sure to secure a barrier so the horses won't fall and break a leg. Your Convent project is making progress. Way to go !
Keep us updated on the cat. Hopefully she either goes home or someone catches him. The tunnel, oh, there are so many things it could be! Another Chateau mystery! It would be cool if you actually found a dry tunnel that was actually use to walk in, leading to a wine cellar or something really cool.
Well worth the wait. I understand the need to make 1 video a week although I miss seeing you guys. Lots got done. Any movement yet on Rubble Mountain? You should be able to have the water tested for fecal matter.
I've decided that in my next life I want to come back as Billy Petherick. Good friends to work with all week, a beautiful chateau to live in, a wonderful family, a little brother to explore tunnels with, and amazing tools & toys (saws, diggers, power tools) to play with!
Hey Billy, tell Gwen to have her friend but prince Harry's litter box outside, they can smell it up to a mile away, so if he hasn't, gone too far he will come home. The kitchen is getting there. Hi to Michael, and good luck going forward on the tunnel.
Don't forget that when it comes to those tunnels under the chateaux if it comes down to using a pump, you might also want to get a sewerage tank pumps, to be extra careful with gases and such down there when going down to explore.
I know it's common knowledge, but it amazes me that people get excited and reckless and climb down into those places, and end up unconscious and dead before they even realise something was ever wrong.
Oak Island kids going down to save their father and dying too is a tragic example

It's probably sleeping off the pigeon somewhere 🤣
What I would give to be a kid again sitting on my dad’s lap on the tractor. I will never forget the joy I got from those experiences.
Ernest was so serious when Billy asked him 'if he could drive the vehicle?' and he says 'no I am not big enough', how cute was that. Was so nice to see Billy and Ernest having a daddy and son time together. That was exciting finding the man hole cover to the Tunnel .

Have a great week Billy and family.
Oh it is so lovely to see you again. Have missed you SO much!
You’re not weird with no life.
Been waiting patiently all week for this, super excited
Ernest is getting so big, the convent is looking wonderful !
After all the digging Michael and Florian did, they must be annoyed that you located it so quickly! The beauty of technology can be a great help! Exciting regardless. As you said, it will be something you can investigate during drier times👍🏻
Michael and Florian had just found the places it was not, therefore finding the way!
My Ernest has grown so much, he was so serious about the tractor 😊😊😊
The horse was curious loved this have a great week petherick crew ❤.
105 k in 24 hrs..You are still killing it Billy
Regarding the cat. Have the owner bring something with her scent on it like a blanket, pillowcase etc. the cat’s litter box anything the cat will recognize. Don’t give up on the trap, you just have to have patience and it takes time. Cover the trap with something like the blanket from the owner making sure the cat can enter. Wishing you the best of luck.
Lovely to see the boys. They are growing up so quickly. That tunnel is intriguing
The week was very long Billy..yes for Sunday nights at the convent!❤😊
Oh this finding of the tunnel could make things very interesting. It looked very smelly. You are sensible to check where the sewer goes. You could have another issue. I wouldn’t just pump it out until you know what the watery fluid is. Great find though. Good luck with the catching. That new machine is massive and it looks as if Phil did a great job on it.

Always a new discovery at the chateau and convent to uncover. Look forward to next week.

Although, calling up a septic truck to pump it all out might help them out more.
I agree, get pumping! If it’s a septic receptacle now, maybe it wouldn’t hurt! Or if you have any kind of slope maybe you can get some gravity flow syphoning happening. The nitrogen could be good for the grass 😅

I'm also glad you are getting better quality time with your lovely family 💕
Love it!! Toys, cats, work, metal detecting and eureka, a tunnel! The little boys were an added bonus!❤️❤️
Because it’s your vlog, Billy, it’s well worth the wait for your weekly treat!
Very full vlog, so many good parts. Gotta love Ernest saying he's not big enough to drive the tele handler.
Good episode. I felt like a junkie finally getting a fix. Never realized how much I missed everyone.😃
Gday from Australia! WOW the time taken on editing is really showing mate I love the intro! Sad not to have daily vlogs but understand its necessary to step it up a gear and get things done around the Convent! Love the results!
I'd missed your beautiful drone shots of the countryside. Lovely to have those back in long form videos again.
I do miss the daily videos but this is better for seeing the progress you are making at the convent. Interesting about the tunnel but it would be great if you found one that was open and could be explored. Who knows whats around to be found! Thanks for sharing and hope you have a great week.

Good progress in the kitchen and now you can reach the top of both building now we need to wait to see the tunnel
I ve missed your updates since Monday Billy, but enjoyed todays vlog thank you, see ya next Sunday
This video wandered all about. Miss the focused videos.
You're insulating the kitchen so well that you could almost heat it with a couple of candles!
Soon candles will be the only heat source people can afford. 😄
I MISSED YOU ALL, DURING THE WEEK! And I've only just started watching but had to tell you that I have unexpected, actual tears of PURE JOY, hearing Billy's voice doing the intro, with the beautiful intro part of the video. 💕 to all from an auld lady in Southern California, USA.
You’re not weird at all.
@@hughgibson9913 But you are.
Geez.
Too funny !!!! When you were using the metal detector my phone buzzed with a notification 😂 !!!
I enjoyed watching this, it was a bit of everything. The Cinvent kitchen is looking good, I hope you find the missing cat. Lovely to see the children again, Ernest is growing up so quickly. Great find now you and Michael have another thing to add to your summer 'To do' list. Well done everyone 💕🇦🇺
Love the long format video. Miss seeing the dailies but a longer video with all the updates is worth the wait.
I hope everyone has an excellent week.
Great content Billy good to see Michael.😊
Loved seeing your boys. Ernest so cute saying hes not big enough to drive your new toy😂 I really liked this vlog with the various subjects and locations although I do miss the daily ones too. Im not sure you found "the" tunnel but you did find something...like a drain off.
I adore your sons! They are precious!
I love the intro where you take a slow glide through that infamous haunting hallway! 😂 Sorry you weren't able to catch the cat but with all the pigeons there it must think it's found the mother load!!! 😆
I miss seeing you and Shaun noodling about. Always some little nugget, no matter how small. It was like being there during the construction. But glad this gives you more time to dedicate to other things.
Such wonderful life experiences your beautiful kids are getting to experience.
I like this fresh weekly video style.
Fun vlog! Thanks! The Progress Sean And Steve have made is fantastic! Can’t wait to see the tunnel adventures!

And the adventures continue. Billy, you are so much fun to watch-adventuresome, clever, and playful! Thanks for sharing!!
Love seeing Archie and Ernest xxx💕💕
Very cool video! Good to see you, Sean, Carl, and Michael. 😊
Sure enjoyed the vlog. Love seeing Ernest's joy in working with his Dad! Can't wait to see the vlog where the tunnel is accessible. Great idea with the metal detector.
It’s nice that there is more time for family and the chateau. Back in focus.
You had me at the cat bit and wanted poster 🤣
Lol! Loved the wanted poster of the cat! Also love the discoveries made at the Chateau! Very interesting indeed.
Awe your baby boys are adorable Billy. We waited and here we are cant wait for the final walls of t
This was exciting to watch. It will be awesome to see the finish and to know the stories of both properties. I am still hoping I can come and volunteer for you.
Awesome video! Great finds, lots of crazy banter and loved seeing your little kiddos! Have a good week!
That tunnel. Like you said, it was possibly the 'sewage' tunnel from back in the day they had no flushing toilets and no septic tanks. Would be interesting to see where it starts from and where it goes to.
Fascinating clouds. Moving opposite directions aloft and near the surface. Approaching front?
Fantastic video Billy… a bit of everything in your life.
It’s wonderful to see your children as well..😊
Wow how much Ernest looks like his father and uncle Michael, and Ernest he is just so cute, you are a great family to follow and you always put me in a good mood, Thank you for your great effort with all those videos and you are incredibly hardworking and talented, I take my hat off to your wonderful mood and all that you get from the hand, Many hugs Maria Denmark,❤
Love watching you and your extended family explore and restore these wonderful old structures. Please keep filming!
Hey Billy, you don’t want a recirculating vent hood , you need one that will vent putside, especially above that range cooker..it has very high BTUs coming off it, and the recirc hood will not take care of smoke , smells and grease extraction..don’t install it exchange it for a outside vented version.
Great varied vlog and congrats on finding the lid over ✅✅✅✅✅✅
Pump it out so you can see inside. The kitchen is looking so modern but nice and clean. Miss the daily video's. I know they take alot of time to do. God bless.
Great you found the tunnel. Perhaps you could pump it out and investigate them now. Love seeing Billy with Ernest. Getting along well at the convent.
The approach to your chateau is still one of the most exciting views!
Missing the daily’s, always watching you guys working hard when the Mrs was watching the her soaps, but loving how much more the kitchen is coming along, keep up the brilliant work chaps
You gave me smiles just when I needed them today, thank you.
Cherrio, see you next week!
Thankyou for another brilliant video, Those two boys of yours are gorgeous, Love the way Ernest said he's not big enough yet ,Definitely lots going on. Hey Billy could you have struck oil 🤔🙂, Hope prince Harfy is found soon , preferably alive 😃
I love your long videos, but I miss seeing you all every day!!
Now I'm very curious about the tunnels, great video,as usual. Thank you for taking us along.
I do miss your dailies. Having said that, it was good to see you and the progress made this week. I think I want one of your hats.
Super video Billy loved the mix of family and convent well worth the wait X 💜
hello everyone, (lovely children included) what an varied and interesting video, very enjoyable too - looking forwards to the next instalment. Best wishes from Lincolnshire.
Wow new toy! 🎉 The boys are such fun to watch 🎉
Your neat and organized work sites are a pleasure to see. Good for Prince Harry, keeping to things organic! 😊
If you do find the water level has dropped in the tunnel in the summer before going down there get yourself a gas detector, the mud at the bottom can hold all lsorts of nastiness and when disturbed can off gas

Loved the video .missed you all this week but it’s so good to see you on Sunday .great to see the boys x.
You have two beautiful boys and they are growing so fast.
I love these longer videos and visits to the chateau and get to see your boys. The convent sure is coming along.
Earnest is adorable. 😍 I've missed the daily updates, but this weekly update is great 👍.
So happy for another episode! I loved the daily uploads, but I’m more than happy for a longer video and more progress! Love the content, amazing hard work! Crack on!

Hi Y'all !!! Missed my daily fix but I'm getting over it. Do like all this catch up.
Keep us updated on the cat. Hopefully she either goes home or someone catches him. The tunnel, oh, there are so many things it could be! Another Chateau mystery! It would be cool if you actually found a dry tunnel that was actually use to walk in, leading to a wine cellar or something really cool.

Way to go Ernest! Learn young!❤
Love the preview Billy! ❤
Well worth the wait. I understand the need to make 1 video a week although I miss seeing you guys. Lots got done. Any movement yet on Rubble Mountain? You should be able to have the water tested for fecal matter.
