    Returning to finish your home seems a logical choice. Following your heart to take care of your family first is a great thing.

      Bonjour ! je comprends parfaitement votre résolution, et je l'approuve entièrement. A votre âge, on ne peut concevoir qu'une période désagréable peut parfaitement arriver, telle qu'un souci de santé pour soi ou d'autres. J'ai mis un an à peu près pour y faire face, quant à moi, et croyez-moi, on ne s'y attend pas. Bonne continuation ! A mes yeux, vous êtes les bonnes personnes, au bon endroit, sur la bonne route. Ciao !

      I don't think Billy regards the Convent strictly as "work" on hearing his video, but he needs to address his time allocation for working in the Chateau on some pressing projects from working in the convent, obviously this will mean that he is closer to his family also, both buildings are huge and require a fair amount of upkeep, although the chateau is far more advanced than the convent at present, but I dare say that the work will throw up surprises which might make things a little longer!?!

    As a cancer survivor and dad of a young family I can tell you, you are doing the right thing, I often wondered what time you had left for your kids and the Mrs after so much time at the convent, you have your whole life to get the convent up to scratch but your kids will only be young once my friend, enjoy them and Gwen as much as you can. 👍💪

    Billy, you are 100% right, spend time with the family. Your sons are young now, enjoy that time with them and Gwen.. That's one thing my dad said as he got older, worked a lot, and wished he spent more time with us when we were growing up. The Convent will be there when you get time, bravo!

    You are absolutely doing the right thing. I have 5 kids, and have missed a lot of their childhoods by working. Luckily, Dad was home with them most of their childhoods, but I did miss a lot. Build the relationships with those boys. Show them they're the priority. They may not recognize it now, but they will when they're older. You do you, and we'll come along for the ride! As someone who only discovered your channel fairly recently, and who went back and watched ALL of the convent videos, this will be a nice chance to learn more about the Chateau, which I've not had the chance to go watch the videos from yet.

  • @alecs1196

    Billy! I'm certain that I speak for many of your happy followers to learn you're returning to work on your home again!. At 10:53 of this vid, you mentioned that it's only "superficial work" left to do at the chateau?!? I might respectfully point out that, to YOU such tasks may be superficial by your standard, but to your viewers, watching you so skillfully restore each intricate minute detail of that sleeping beauty with such finesse, and to such a professional standard of excellence IS why we tune in to your channel !!
    Anyone can bash a hole in a wall, but there are few who can do what You do SO very well, hence don't be too surprised to discover an up-surge of new subscribers to this channel! 🏰👍👍👍

    You and your family and many trusted craftsman have really worked tireless hours bringing this place back from ruin. The clearing of all the thickets and trees and trash took so much out of all of you and your just starting to see what is actually there under all that over growth. And that's just the outside. The inside is hundreds of years of modifications and changes and you have brought that kitchen to looking like a master piece. I'm looking forward to seeing how you progress inside and outside for this year.

    Gwen is such a beautiful Mother and Wife. It is so right of you to appreciate her and make her happy. The Boys are only young for so long so they too will be happy to see Daddy more!. The Chateau is so fabulous and you were saying in the past that you wanted to redo the Kitchen in the basement. The Kitchen in the Convent came out gorgeous, so you can make that fabulous as well. The Ladies retreats Gwen is having look wonderful! I wish her much success in that venture. Feeding the soul is necessary for all! Crack on Billy and thanks for sharing 👏

    I truly wish I could come and help you with the convent. I'm not a professional or anything, and I'm healing from a very extensive surgery to repair my right rotator cuff and bicep that was completely obliterated.
    I pray for you, your family to be close and have great relationships with one another, and for the renovations to be completely finished in all your properties in God's time.
    I think it's amazing you have the understanding to take a sabbatical so to speak, to be with your wife and children. I literally just found your channel today and have been going through the videos as possible. I live in Oklahoma and absolutely adore the architecture of the convent and what you have and you are doing to it in the future.
    If I had the money to get there, my husband, 3 son's and I, I'd love to be of service. But I'm cheering you on from my home in Oklahoma.
    Praying for you Mr. Billy, sir!

    2. Seemed like the channel really flourished when you had a videographer and at least one other person working. Things go by faster when there’s a team working together
    3. Once the chateau is complete. I’d focus on the convent apartments to get a steady cash flow and peace of mind
    4. Thanks for the best daily vids!

    I admire you, Billy, for having the courage to take the time to look at the bigger picture and decide what is most important to you in your life and make whatever changes are necessary. In my humble opinion, the best thing you can do is what is best for YOU and YOUR FAMILY. Thanks for taking us along on your journey! You are such an amazing inspiration to us ALL!

    I would really like to see the improvements at the Chateau, especially the downstairs kitchen. You might have someone send updates from the convent occasionally

    A very wise decision Billy, I missed seeing my children growing up, because I was always working, running 3 businesses, one of which was a shipping company. and never getting home till the kids were in bed. The convent will always be there, with others doing the work.
    I'm sure Gwen will be happy too.

    Well done Billy. I can see how much you have achieved and the ENORMOUS amount of work you and the team have put in BUT I can see and feel it is time to spend more time with the boys, your beautiful wife, your Chateau and your family there too. I am looking forward to all of your coming posts. I am interested in everything you are doing. Love from us in Brisbane Australia xxg

    Proud of you Billy! I can only imagine what and how you are feeling. You are only one man and you took on a huge challenge, What you have done is remarkable even with the amazing helpers you have had. I am excited to see the chateau getting what it will need for the future. Most of all I am so very happy Gwen and the kids will have your attention and cuddles more often. All of this with the world watching and some of them not so friendly. However you know who your fans are, you know who loves you and everyone will be rooting for you while you "Crack on!"

    Thank you for all you do. Don't worry about it. Your family is so much more important. I enjoy watching your renovations and will support your work no matter what. It is said that sometimes we dont know the effect we have on others. I am one of those people you may not have realized you have helped. So, thank you.

    Its not the building or the renovation it's young your friends and family. I will watch regardless of what you are doing because you are always so positive and doing the right thing for others.

  • @christinebrown2765
    @christinebrown2765 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Agree with you Billy, the Chateau and estate should be a priority and the convent overseen whenever you have time but above all the projects family and friends are the most important in anyone's life. It sets an example when partners in life respect each other's dreams

    Billy, it's always wonderful to see a man speak his priorities. You do what you need to do, after all, you live at the chateau and if it needs maintenance, that takes priority over the convent, but your family definitely come first.
