  There needs to be a late night Billy and Ryan basement exploration video.

  Sean, You can cut flagstones in height, to make sure they are all equal. Look for a stone mason around your area, they will definitely be glad to help and advice you in such matter. You can also do it DIY way with a saw and a diamond blade, YouTube will guide you in such matter as well.  Cheers.

  The intro song is quickly becoming a classic for this channel.

  By removing those cupboards, Billy, you have made a lovely open entrance space. New fancier doors will make the entrance even nicer. Armoires like those would have been common in convents as places where the nuns could keep shawls, coats, and scarves when going out. I agree that they will be of use elsewhere,perhaps as linen closets for the whole place. This is fascinating as you are going step by step! Enjoy your weekend, Billy, Sean, and Ryan!☘️👍🏻

  Hi Bill, What an adventure after adventure this is.  You’re always finding a new surprise and treasure. It’s such fun!  Best YouTube Channel out there  in my opinion. I hope the channel keeps growing. It’s a WINNER!  Thank you all so very much!!

  Now you can see if it goes to a crypt beneath the chapel without disturbing anything in the chapel!  With the age of the convent, any deceased might have been moved to the cemetery of the nun's motherhouse.  If there is an "occupied" crypt, it might be setup as a burial chapel and probably should be opened up to the public.  What an adventure!

  Love that hallway. It feels like it can now bring in fresh air to the building! It is now so light and airy!

  The hallway looks much better.  Makes a world of difference to have a spacious entry.  Space, itself, is precious.

  What an amazing progress! Love all little finds that you came across! It would be so lovely to put flagstones back in all it's characterful glory below the majestic beans. If you can't make it due to height needed for underfloor heating - perhaps you can skip the heating all together? I get it's much more cozy to enter the warm hallway during cold winter days, but hallways are not spaces people tend to stay long, they are quite 'walk through' in a lack of a better word. Besides, it will be situated in a sandwich between two large spaces which will be well heated, so some warmth will surely transfer to this space as well. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'd go for a flagstones rather than underfloor heating, if I have to choose one or another. Great work guys! XO

  It’s like a treasure hunt in that building! Something to keep you interested how they constructed this building and the modernized it trying to keep warmer. Now your getting back to basics and using all modern techniques and in 300 years someone else will say, “ Look what they did here-rip it out!”🥰😂
