    I don't know why I got emotional watching this one. But as you were chipping away at the concrete, and exposing the original floor, I starting thinking abt the fact that your convent is as old as the country, America, I live in. Seeing you bring it back to its original beauty is beautiful. Thank you Billy Petherick.

    I generally hate demolitions. In program after program they attack some beautiful old house or chateau and instead of saving them, they turn them into bare shells filled with modern... Not so here. .
    Other than your charming selves, I really love how you reveal her true bones and reinstate this magnificent building! A pleasure from day one! ❤❤❤

    Wow! Just wow. I can’t help wondering what the nuns were feeling when they stepped through the door and ascended the staircase for the first time, 250 years ago. They would have seen the beamed ceiling, and possibly the granite floor. The scent of new wood and plaster….and we are getting this little glimpse of their past as you take the convent into the future. Thank you, Billy, and team, for this journey full of past echoes and new dreams.

    I was watching one of those years long renovations condensed into 30 min. Yes they did a tremendous amount of work, and yes it was pretty, BUT they made it look modern with a few nick knacks scattered around. It didn't move me. The stone floor in front of the staircase and in the hallway in the convent brought tears to my eyes. My family move to America in the 1600's. There was a family house that was probably built a little later with those wide plank floors, a large walkin fireplace and big slabs of granite for the front steps. I loved that house.
