Exactly my thought. I'll watch either way but it makes me more than nervous. hearing my mother's voice in my head "if he'd spend more time renovating what he has instead of shopping he'd be closer to fixing what they already have. With such a young family if you were bringing in a successful income from the chateau it'd make sense but it will require much more than popping over there the odd day a week to revive that building and a full time working crew to achieve it.
I have no words! You see opportunity and investment potential. I see a money pit and energy sucker. The world needs people of vision and the Petherick clan definitely have it. Good luck with your decision making. Thanks Billy🙏🏻❤️
So agree about the money pit / energy sucker aspect. A defunct, institutionalized convent (?) seems like a serious investment mistake waiting to happen.
@@robertdelaria3512 I'm guessing that's most likely what until recently it's been. Also guessing it's in a fairly remote spot - might work better business-wise if it were in a suburb of a big town.
@@johnvonundzu2170 true but it looked like an expensive assisted living my Mom lived in. Especially since it was a convent, the rooms are already set up
@@robertdelaria3512 The biggest headache would probably be getting it up to code, so many elements to deal with in an 18th century shell - and so much would probably need to be gutted.
WOW! This is your 3rd time viewing this property, good for you Billy! You and Gwen are smart people you will know if you can handle it or not. Good for YOU! "Happy Thanksgiving The Pethericks Family" LOVE from Chicago
Oh My, I am so excited to see how you will bring this amazing piece of history back to life. I've only recently discovered your channel and I am madly binge watching through all the previous episodes - you & you family are a pure joy to watch. I agree, there is a ton of work to be done but I have faith. You appear very smart, dedicated, hardworking so I have no doubt it will be done and most importantly, it will be done with great care & respect to save the history for coming generations!
Billy, if you go ahead with this, suggest getting a TV channel involved from the start. Not sure how this works but a US or UK company would probably snatch your hand off since Chateau DIY is so popular ! Chateau Rescue with the Pethericks. Good luck beautiful family 💚
WOW Billy! You (and the fam) don't make life easy for yourselves do you? but how exciting! Would make lovely apartments with communal areas - from what you have shown us - and a great investment (as long as you get builders in to do it for you!!) Thanks for taking us along with you 😀💜
It’s amazing how far you have come Billy in renovating this convent next year 2024, it will be the library. Kitchen is nearly finished ✅. Well done Billy & team of helpers.🥳👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼And still Cracking On.
That's a massive place with enormous work to do. I hope you will finish renovating your Chateau first before buying this place. Your Chateau is magnificent but needs to be done completely before doing other projects🙂 It's hard to start another projects while you are still trying to work on another, might ended up, not getting done. Good luck Billy! God bless you and your family 😍
Yay! Anna snd Ed got in your head! A passion project is a breath of fresh air! Just imagine all the things stashed you can use there! Plus ! More shopping! Looks like an old hospital. Can’t wait to see if you do it!💗
It is always nice to see beautiful historic building rescued from falling apart. Good luck in your possible new adventure. Hope we can go along with you if you choose to buy it.🇨🇦
I understand you loving beautiful homes. It is very rewarding when you look back and compare the before and the after. You have the right family for renovating. Your dad's experience in the building trade is an asset. Good luck you can never go wrong investing in property's
Magnificent property, Billy! I could see it as part of the Petherick’s legacy. Of what I could see, it looks GRAND. I believe I saw ancient paneling and it was beautiful! Labor intensive project but so REGAL and upscale. You may need to hire maintenance people to stay on the property when you cannot be there. I don’t know much about this property or of it’s historical significance. It looks amazing! Thank you for sharing! Super exciting just to see the ruins. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
How did I manage not to see this video before?! I first discovered the channel a few weeks into work on the Convent, and binge watched them all to catch up. This just came up in my Recommended. Great to see the whole family looking round
How exciting! It will be great fun to watch the restoration from the beginning if you choose to buy the property and (hopefully) film it. The stained glass and tall windows are very beautiful. Thank you, Petherick Family!
Hi Billy, great project here, one point to check, those lagged pipes in the basement, check them for asbestos buddy, can be an expensive removal, but saying that what a lovely building, hope you go for it, good luck
beautiful beautiful place I can see why you guys are drawn to it.not that it matters but I hope you get it cause I would love to watch it be brought back to life it deserves some love.
Wow!!! The exterior is magnificent.. looks like it was used as a boarding house of some sort… the chapel was beautiful!! A lot of work. Thanks for sharing 🥰
How exciting billy if u do buy another property. Reminds me a bit like la lande the shape of it. I wish u all,all the best xxx hope you show us more. Much love to all the family and boys. Your grandparents are adorably sweet xx ❤️
Hey Billy are you planning on having lots of children then open a private school? Just teasing , the place is massive and looks like it needs a lot of work but I am sure you have considered everything and we know you and all your family are not afraid of hard work
The property is elegant but the feeling I get is one of sadness. I am a sensitive. I can feel an environment even the health of others, who reside or have resided in the past. I can tell that your Chateau has a happy feeling within. Thank you for sharing.
Checked Wikipedia, a hôtel-Dieu (English: hostel of God) was originally a hospital for the poor and needy, run by the Catholic Church. So your intuition was spot on Cheryl. Some poor souls have resided within them walls I imagine.
Hi Billy I hope it works out for you. Such a massive project. Bravo for even considering taking on another one. You have such a Strong family and you’re all very tight it’s wonderful how you all band together on this 👍
I can see the potential but would suggest waiting a few years and enjoying this time with Gwen and the babies and finishing off your chateau as this time with them is precious. X
He can always buy now and only do the most necessary work now like the roof or replace anything rotten. Then take his time getting it actually renovated doing 1 part at a time.
Lovely old convent. What would you do with it if you do buy it? If you take the back part of the second floors you can convert into apartments and make the first floor facing the street into small shops. Add fix the apartment building on the corner into rentable apartments.
we’ve spend 5 years at the chateau, it’s our top priority and having done so much and gotten this far it would be mad to stop now 😂 the other project isn’t going to be a priority
I think I recall when you first saw this building in a vlog a long time ago and you were intrigued by it then. A convent I think? The church is lovely but the rest looks very institutional.
I Watch your videos because they are educational.. For your father and mother's work ethics, for your skills , for your sensibiltity in recognizing Nature and it's beauty. You show me beauty , that makes my heart beat, these places are magic. I have learnt many things seeing you work, and from France that I never would have immagined. Thankyou. ( Never been good in maths). Investment Is a foreign word for me.
Chateau life/ renovating old historic buildings in France/Portugal etc is hugely popular and this appeal is only growing. You would be wise to dig your heels in, get ready for some really hard work and go for it.
Wow Billy you and the family will def be busy with that building. I know you will look into all the issues and renovations of a building that size and am sure your dad will also have ideas ticking over in his head as well
I watched a couple of the newer videos (the playlist has exactly 308 videos right now) and I’m going to start at the beginning and binge this like a Netflix series to catch up to now! ☺️
Intriguing! Honestly, you'd be mad not to - that's a massive place, and, as we all come out of this pandemic over the next year or so - and it will take you a couple of years to make it liveable, why not... Good luck!
Billy, I think you should buy this convent...oh wait, you DID buy it! I need to get caught up on these videos! "Good morning, Sean! Good morning, Billy! Crack on!"
The property looked like it was an old hospital or a nursing home with the grab bars along the hallway. The building, specially the basement looks very solid. If that area has many tourists, you can actually make a boutiqur hotel out of the building. But I guess it would be more costly because of all the hospitality standards that you need to follow.
Take time to enjoy life too. You have plenty of work at your own chateau. Are you thinking of a cosmetic restoring and resale at a profit? Quick turn-around?
Once all fixed and decorated , the place would make a great hotel or venue for bigger wedding parties... The chapel looked like it could fit a decent amount of people as well. So much potential, and a big investment for sure... But what a nice place!
Hello Billy & Gwen Can not wait to see where this adventure leads you and your family! I wish you best of; wish I was along so to participating in the dream. I will be riding along via your vlogs savoring your accomplishments.
the interior looks very institutional and run down. Possibly an old convent or school? Not every day that you find a building with its own cathedral style church attached to it. The church part looked mostly untouched and like it was stunning at one time.
Oh this is absolutely about to become an obsession. Found you on tik Tok and wondered if there was a TH-cam I could watch more easily and good Lord imma just. Be here for a week or two watching them all 😮
Dreams aren’t worth killing your family over. The amount of work left at the current place will take years. TIME, is the most valuable thing you will ever own. Once it’s gone you can never get it back. We love your family. ❤️😍
What a difference between then and now. Whenever you feel a little despondent about progress and the rate thereof at the Convent Billy, take a look at this so that it may serve as an inspiration.
( Maureen ) what a amazing place Billy , you are both young and can do the renovations and if you have the money buy it , I am sure that it while make for some fantastic vlogs .
I think viewing other properties is fun, but I would not even consider another purchase until your current chateau has been completely renovated. That building looks familiar, I think I have seen it on one of the TH-cam channels that explore abandoned chateau.
Buy it! I would love to see it come back to life. Make it into a Hospital for the elderly or sell it for a school. Your all are so handy you can do it.
I've remarked that all the Brits and other 'foreign' buyers who buy and live in these chateaux do so as they did back when they were originally lived in, with lots of people passing through, dogs, lots of work going on, gardening and animals. I feel that since at least 100 years the French have seen these buildings as part of their past and not very practical and liveable and tended to ignore them to the point that many are beyond repair which is sad. Chateaux like yours, Lalande, Bordeaux life and of course our many other 'friends' are really doing so much good to the French culture despite not being French. Thank you, as a Brit living in France it's so good to see and know that now people will no longer look at these places and then walk on by, they can now see the potential.
Where are we going Qwen somewhere😍That chateau is soo grand I’m always in awe of the size of the interiors so lovely to see your grandparents and your lovely mum😍❤️Looking forward to what you decide you’re young and like my children thinking of the future and investment Thankyou for sharing😍❤️👌
An old convent could be split up into several micro-projects such as a couple of high end apartments/air bnb's, brocante, art sales & studio, destination weddings, wine tasting weekends. Place has alot of possibilities, but needs alot of manpower and money to make it happen! Good luck. Hope you will keep the current chateau, as you've worked so hard to make it your home.
Love your videos Billy, your knowledge of antiques is amazing. Love you, Gwen the children and all the extended family. Ernest gets more like you Billy every day. Good luck in the future whatever decision you make.xx
I saw a couple videos of some urban explorers exploring, videoing and talking about the history of the place…this will be a big task to undertake but gorgeous!!!
I could totally see it becoming multi use, brocante, cafe, air b&b. Great thing about renting it out as a brocante is that it only needs to be dry. A small part with heating, water, working plumbing... As an office for the brocante isn't that big of a project. A cafe would be a lot more work to get up and running.
@@ThePethericks there is a great brocante in our area in an old school building and it works great. Every room has a different theme, beds, books, toys, table wear.... One thing i learn from them is keep the books downstairs, the weight was affecting the building.
Dude! There's a ton of work still to be done in your chateau. I'm having a panic attack at the thought of taking on another project!! 😳
Exactly my thought. I'll watch either way but it makes me more than nervous. hearing my mother's voice in my head "if he'd spend more time renovating what he has instead of shopping he'd be closer to fixing what they already have. With such a young family if you were bringing in a successful income from the chateau it'd make sense but it will require much more than popping over there the odd day a week to revive that building and a full time working crew to achieve it.
LOL LOL
He has certainly dealt with it well!
I have no words! You see opportunity and investment potential. I see a money pit and energy sucker. The world needs people of vision and the Petherick clan definitely have it. Good luck with your decision making. Thanks Billy🙏🏻❤️
So agree about the money pit / energy sucker aspect. A defunct, institutionalized convent (?) seems like a serious investment mistake waiting to happen.
Actually makes a lot of sense as an upscale old age home

It looks haunted!!!😳
Place is no longer available so I'd say that they've already bought it or at least it's possibly under offer :)
Wow, I can see the potential the place has. Excited to see what you do next.
LOL "always good to have a side project". That's hilarious. OMG. Go for it! Chateau flipper?
Always interesting to see what you are doing. Looking forward to your next project!
I was excited more about this project than the Chateau..Bravo Gwen and Billy look how far this place has come.🙂 See you both soon
No end to the brocanting you’ll need to do to fill this place up! Very interesting building. Thanks for the tour!🇨🇦
it might become a brocante itself….. 🤫

Beautiful old building looks like that would be a big project.I think all these places need to be saved but don't take on more then you van chew.
I have been following you for a while. It is amazing what you accomplished. I never saw the convent before you started the restauration
WOW Billy! You (and the fam) don't make life easy for yourselves do you? but how exciting!
Would make lovely apartments with communal areas - from what you have shown us - and a great investment (as long as you get builders in to do it for you!!) Thanks for taking us along with you 😀💜

Since I’m watching in reverse, I know you’re doing an amazing job with this property ❣️
That's a massive place with enormous work to do.
I hope you will finish renovating your Chateau first before buying this place. Your Chateau is magnificent but needs to be done completely before doing other projects🙂
It's hard to start another projects while you are still trying to work on another, might ended up, not getting done.

Beautiful place! I admire your forward-looking attitude. I believe you can do it! Best of luck in all you and your family attempt! Keep us posted.
That chapel is absolutely stunning! I would imagine it being used for larger weddings and the reception or honeymoon being at the Chateau
Another video to add to convent playlist. It's nice finding these hidden gems. I'm still watching all your videos ... Long way to go thankfully 😁
I understand you loving beautiful homes. It is very rewarding when you look back and compare the before and the after. You have the right family for renovating. Your dad's experience in the building trade is an asset. Good luck you can never go wrong investing in property's
What a fantastic building, obviously a lot of work needed inside and out. 😊

Loved the walk around. Really took me back .. my mother used to clean for the local holiday cottages and estate buildings down in west Wales

Its very high! will be fun getting up there to repair it!

Hello Billy & Gwen

I do believe you kids are going to buy that place. Gwen looks pleased and, to me, that means full speed ahead... Best to you all.

I love your enterprising spirit while being decent
Feet planted firmly on the ground

Hope you buy it, looks like a very interesting project to me. 👀
It's some place Billy, I can see its potential for sure! 😊 ...mind & do the obligatory historical research on it, before you get a pen out..😉😘🤗💖
Anyone feel like Billy was telling us he bought this house but bleeped it when he accidently said it? Congrats[?]
