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!?!

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.

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! 🏰👍👍👍

1. I found and loved your channel based on the chateau, so looking forward to seeing more of it 2.

I’d focus on the convent apartments to get a steady cash flow and peace of mind 4. Thanks for the best daily vids!

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.
