I'm guessing that the damaged arch in the kitchen, behind the living room fireplace, is where the stove/range/cooker originally was and could be again. The space next to that, with the shelf ghost marks, was the pantry. I don't know what the other recess was, but it could be a good place for a fridge. That would open up floor space and make room for modern conveniences.

Yes, great idea! I would need an outdoor space, somewhere to get outside like you say for coffee in morning or glass of wine in evening!
The roof could be raised a few feet as well. That entire addition is a bit suspect... Of course, the Marie would have a say in anything like that. An outdoor lounge on the roof bordering the town square in an old village may not be quite the look they're going for.
Roofed with opening roof windows with rain sensors, a private indoor outdoor space, still have the washer and dryer and covered tub, a table and chairs, hanging plants . . . And still access the mail box!
The three stooges have arrived! I can see much fun and merriment over the next few weeks, just don’t let Billy loose with anything larger than a pin hammer. I am looking forward to seeing what can be accomplished. Take care and be safe
Thats great that Nick will be joining you in this adventure Ryan. And very sensible to do 1 vid per week so you actually have time to focus on the reno work.
What wonderful news that Nick is going to be helping out. Perhaps Mummy Moon will make you a little mascot like Pip, if we ask nicely. 😊❤🐨
Maybe it will be called Pop!
🙂
I love that Billy likes to touch, rattle, shake, punch everything with such confidence that most of us cringe at while yelling at the screen “don’t do that” 😂😂
*The full length tunnel is not a root cellar, it's a byproduct of the French resistance in WW2. This house has more secrets to tell.*
Adventure. Laughs and giggles. The best 22 minutes of my day!
What a great episode!! Great to see Ryan again, & extra wonderful to see the 2 experienced friends right there! EVERYONE! If you aren't already subscribed, subscribe & like this video. And of course, same for The Petherick's & The Moons (always magical). Blessings to all.
Oh boy so relieved to see Billy giving his valued guidance to Ryan.😊 Things can only get better. Come on Ryan crack on and start the renovations 😂. Thank you for sharing. Good luck 🤞. Love from Rosie O from Devon England 🏴
Billy’s face lit up like a kid at Christmas when he found that hollow wall in the kitchen 😊 I love the passion you all share for what you’re doing ❤
I thought it was funny Ryan talking to Billy like he is a 2 Year old at a toy store ...... for good reason too!!!!
That was the funniest video. The three of you playoff each other so well. I was giggling at Billy’s anticipation of knocking a hole in that wall. 😂
I got a belly ache from laughing, seeing Billy with a hammer eager to demolish a wall.
Love the idea of Mooning Forward! Can't wait for the progress of the renovation of this French House.
Lovely to see you happy Ryan I know how much it means to you to have such good friends with you sending lots of hugs ❤
Happy New Year Ryan. I am so pleased that you reached out to Billy and Nick to get some guidance. I am in my 60’s and learning to do new things. All I need is some time with friends to get encouragement and guidance and I am on my way. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Looking forward to your weekly chapters with Nick. Should be some great videos, and so much better to do with two of you.
Glad to hear Nick Moon is gonna be helping you out.😊
"One take..." for no particular reason, this episode wa hilarious. Thank you both, Nick & Billy😂👍
I'm guessing that the damaged arch in the kitchen, behind the living room fireplace, is where the stove/range/cooker originally was and could be again. The space next to that, with the shelf ghost marks, was the pantry. I don't know what the other recess was, but it could be a good place for a fridge. That would open up floor space and make room for modern conveniences.
Could have been a back door at some point I guess.
That arch you discovered will be a really nice feature plus the room will be a little bigger. I love the fireplace as well.
Hi Ryan, you have some really wonderful friends! It’s lovely to see them share in your excitement - you all get along so well 😀.
Good one, Ryan. A big adventure and a lot of work ahead. Your buddies have given a big boost to your project. It was fun to watch.
What about the void upstairs? I wanna know now 😊 knew it wouldn't take long for billy to pop round. Happy with the hammer 😂
Oh WOW! Happy Days. Simon back at the Convent. And now Nick helping Ryan. Those bricks you can incorporate into your future kitchen. This is definitely going to be another wonderful renovation adventure.
Having Nick as your mentor will be amazing. You will learn so much as you work together bringing the house back to life. I love watching your vlogs Ryan!!!
Wow! That's exciting news! I can't wait to see the progression of the renovation. And I am happy to hear that Nick will be joining you on your weekly videos. He is a very clever man.
You are one great personality and then to get Bill as your foil you are a star!
Well done Ryan to reach out and have some great friends willing to lend a helping hand. You are all marvellous people and a pleasure to see such a wonderful group of friends helping each other out. Well done to Nick to be there to provide his knowledge and assistance. Sad that your videos will only be once a week, but good to see that you are moving forward on the renovations.
And Nick will be a great asset in your renovations!
You guys are so cute and funny together. It will be fun to watch progress on Ryan's $15k house.
It was such a pleasure to see Billy and Nick with you. I haven't smiled, and chuckled this much in awhile. The three of you together are great. This video perked up my spirits. Thank you.
loved the camaraderie between you guys. Bring on Yanis he will have the place demolished and ready for renovation i no time
Nice to see the Three Musketeers again
I do like willie's idea making that area with the arch into like a pantry. But I also think it'd be beautiful to have your stove under the arch. Don't know if this is feasible but if you do, put the oven on that wall where the void is. Could you put shelving like for spices and other things you cook with there. These are just ideas make sure they would work and are Legal.
Love the arched opening. Could make a built in bookcase. Now I really want to see what’s behind the doors in the upper level future bath rooms.
You dont really want, or need, a bookcase in a kitchen.
It could have glazed doors for china
@@johnje4285 For me, maybe, but I don’t see Ryan as having a set of Limoges or Baccarat he is waiting to display. Maybe. A cabinet/bar for entertaining.
Omg I chocked a few times 😂😂 bet u haven’t heard that before lol . Great video! Made me snot and chortle somewhat . Like how Billy was trying to destroy things 😂
Snort not snot 😂
Yay! So, so glad Nick'll be there with you. Whatta team.
Open both sides of fireplace to kitchen, back oven to fireplace, sink into cove so you can have shallower counter top. End wall: try a little deeper counter with cabinets with an under counter freezer and an under counter refrigerator. A nice hanging chef pan and utensil rack above sink and stove.
Fun to see the three of them together, what a riot😂So happy for Ryan that he has such wonderful friends to help.
Wahoo! Next time can you pound a hole in the seeming void in that thick wall upstairs? This is going to be great!
there's a tiny room inside, maybe a small bedroom.
Glad to see Ryan getting help from his friends !
So happy Nick is going to be helping you Ryan. He’s such a good man and friend 🙌🏽
For the fireplace, mix some bicarb of soda with a small amount of bleach and water and mix to a paste, Apply it with a brush, wait for minimum 1 hour the brush off with a stiff brush. Worked really well with all the pained granite in our château. Good luck with the renovations
I enjoyed this video a lot. Now you are not "home alone" any more. I love the sense of humor of all the members of the team. You found the best advisors. With such crew you can navigate overseas in the improvement of your 15 000 house. I am glad. They made you feel engaged to the French house. Congrats and Happy New Year!
Love seeing Billy and Nick at your place. Love Billy and his “Bull In a China shop” attitude. I hope you’re getting your plan in place…. You got this. We love your videos….Consistency can up your game. Rooting for you Ryan!
Glad Nick will be helping you. It is great seeing friends helping each other to better each other's lives.
I am so happy Nick will be helping you out Ryan. He is so calm and knowledgeable. It was nice to see Billy at your door and smashing his way through finding nooks and crannies and possibilities. Crack on team!
Good to see the band together again, just need Michael and you're all set!
Michael Angelo will be busy painting the Chapel ceiling!
How exciting to have Nick AND Billy there with you! I hope Nick won't be away from his family too long. I know they missed him terribly when he was restoring the organ.
Billy is such a wealth of knowledge!!! What a blessing to have him as a friend to help you through this!
1:07 So happy to see Billy and Nick have come over to help you. You have good friends. Make sure you stay on task with the plan you and Nick make so this house will be completed in a short time. You can do this Ryan!!! Looking forward to seeing the transformation.
Best move you made bringing billy and nick.in that will bring your watchers up to full
Fantastic, this is exactly why I fell in love with you all. First through Billies channel, then Ryan's picking up more channels simply because of the family and then the friends. You all show how life used to be, everyone helping each other until money and greed got in the way. Showing everyone the way back thank you all.
This was an EXciting video. From the guest hosts to the hidden gem discoveries. More space and historical space at that!?$? Sign me up. With love from…not nearly as cold as rural France, Southern California, USA!
You had me laughing before bed time😅 you all are funny when together. Can’t wait to see where you begin this new project.xx
The 3 Musketeers. You are very lucky to have Nick to help you Ryan - he gets stuck in. You will make a lot of progress together - and Billy can ‘pop in’
This renovation will be really interesting, with Nick and Ryan together, it should be serious fun! I will be looking out for for the next episodes!
So happy for you Ryan! Nick is a very positive force in this renovation project you have purchased. 👌💪💚
Happy new year Ryan! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. You have two excellent sources of help in Billy and Nick, I’m sure they can build and fix anything. And they’re very capable of outlining a plan of attack and instructing you on how to start. I am looking forward to seeing you getting into your renovation with a good plan to go on. Thanks Ryan, Billy and Nick!
Billy is such a different character on Ryan’s videos than he is on his own. Hilarious.
Ryan, you are lucky to have Nick helping you. Listen to him. It was fun seeing you three together. Billy is the King of putting holes in walls, ceilings, floors..... LOL
Hi guys, you three are wonderful. This video brought a smile to my face. Looking forward to your videos Ryan. Joyce❤️🙏🇺🇸
Are you, in France, allowed to have tankless water heaters? Big time space savers and you never run out of hot water. Thank you Nick, for helping Ryan out!! 👏👏
This episode was Epic getting some advice is awesome 😎
Missed you.x
Wow , Brilliant Video, You Have Amazing Expertise in Nick & Billy , Wow, Your Lucky to Have Amazing Friends to Help You
Loved the demolition boy's 🤗👍🤗👍🤗👍 Loverly to see Billy & Nick see you & Nick in the next one can't wait 🤗 Love Sue❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
So good to see Nick back. An awesome man. Hopefully one day a week will work well for his family, and not be too tiring for Nick. What an immense support he will be for you Ryan.
So excited for the weeklies !
I had to laugh out loud so much during this video. The 3 of you are hysterical together. So happy for you that you can get some help. I can imagine that the renovation can be quite overwhelming on your own. Looking forward to more renovation videos 👍
So happy to see you again!
You guys "crapped" me up on the toilet and post office box comments🤣 Really nice to see Billy and Mr. Moon hanging out with you. Always helps when in this type of reno to have experienced opinions and ideas.
So good to see you back at it, Ryan. Three of my favorite lads.
Brilliant video Billy was funny ,good job noithing was behind there to grab him 😅 ❤❤❤
Ryan, if the kitchen niche goes to the floor put your stove/oven there. If it only goes to counter height put your sink there and mirror the back of the niche to reflect the sunlight from the window. You could even put glass shelves for items if needed.
A mirror and glass selves wouldn’t really fit the style of house. I’d just tile the arch
@@jourdainjardin846 I know it wouldn’t be expected, but it would make that narrow room appear larger. It would also reflect the paint or wall coverings colors, and he could add a plant etc. it’s just a thought.
How good to have Nick helping you out...he's a very smart handy man! Was really nice to see Billy & Nick both, your in good hands Ryan. Good luck with the renovations! Take care! Kathy x
So glad that you’ve got expert help with the house renovation. I felt at times that you were overwhelmed by the work ahead and bewildered as to where to start. Now you have Nick to advise and guide you…a wonderful friend, with the demolition expert Billy, to pop in and check that the Reno is going to plan. Can’t wait for future videos Ryan and may you not encounter any major setbacks, but for the project to run smoothly without hitches. Well done, you deserve a bit of luck.
Aaaaw this made me so happy to see! Happy you have some help now, Ryan 🤩🙏💪 Great friends ❤️
Welcome back 👏👏👏👏
I actually really Love 💗 your new property has so much potential and character
We lived in a converted olive mill in Italy many years ago. It incorporated a very robust arch between the living room and the kitchen. They also had a large heavy wood counter between the two rooms. It was a super tiny space but seemed much larger because of the semi- open plan. You might consider something similar for your space.
I’m so glad you’ve called in the cavalry Ryan to give you some much needed help. Nick is an invaluable friend and an incredibly wise and knowledgeable person who has the know how to help and guide you in your journey.💗🇬🇧
Ryan put your hot water unit in the utility room and the large space can be where your fridge goes with a cupboard above in the arch area. the other indent can be your coffee kettle toaster area with the kitchen bench going as Billy stated. Lovely seeing the guys there to help and give advice. Billy is so excited to start to demo 😂 and discovered a wonderful surprise.
Lovely to see you again Ryan 😁
Such a fun video, Ryan. And having Nick help you with the renovations is brilliant. Billy’s smile when he knocked at the door was so delightful. He looked so happy to be there. Quite a cool find in the kitchen. xx
Im happy to continue seeing Nick's presence in everyone's videos.
This is good news to see Billy and Nick giving you good advice. Nick's help will be invaluable too. You have some serious structural work to do, so having 2 of you there will be so much safer. Really pleased to hear you will be doing weekly videos. Dailies would stop the progress needed. Good luck Ryan, things are looking good! 🍀
nice to see you back! Ryan. i've missed you and your videos xxxx
Loved seeing the three of you together!! Can't wait to see this project progress. You deserve a lovely space!
That was hilarious 😁 looking forward to more of the same. What a find in the new kitchen. Can't wait to see what else you find 👍😊
What a hoot! I wish I was proper friends with you all 🥰 So happy to hear Nick will be with you. Will help give you direction and confidence. 🎉
Good choice! Nick will be a great help in getting on with your new place with all his expertise.
I love the front door, it would be fun to restore it back to its original state. You have good friends, cherish them! I’m excited about your new adventure, and the plans you have for this TLC needed house! Crack on Ryan!! 😂❤
Love how your energy and banter elevates and bounces off each other when you are together! Your house is going to be amazing & enjoying the journey.
