Man, Yannis is getting a master class on drywall, plastering and masonry work. Pretty soon you guys won’t be able to afford his trade skills! So glad Simon and Billy are willing to put their time and money into teaching and not just focus on completing the project on time on budget.

Billy, I’m an archaeologist. Those beads are from the early 17 century and were most likely produced for the North America trade. These are small glass rods - blown like straws - with a hollow centre. Then they are cut into beads. Any archeologist in your area should be able to use those beads as an effective dating tool. Beads are very specific to manufacturers and time period. Wh

The last couple of minutes on the find made me think whether you had already considered for a space that was tricky to decide what to do with, whether you considered a convent history "museum room" or maybe a small display/s in each room of what was found there or just outside. Updateable if lots found and maybe how the convent served the community in the past if it may be used for community events in the future, which I think was mentioned in one of the videos this week. Maybe the last one

Hi: great content. Those nunbabes went to a lot of trouble and expense to raise that floor level and you’ve got to ask yourselves: why? Have you investigated water table levels and past flooding? If thee is an issue you might want to introduce a big perforated land drain pipe below your new ffl in the back garden. Also on your previous episode you proposed back-filing a trench with mixed demo material which included plaster. Not a good idea. It will contaminate the surface water drainage. Dispose of the cement based matter responsibly elsewhere: fill the trench along the back demise with clean stone rubble or gravel. Cheers!!❤
