I totally agree. Karen’s filming, camera angles, lighting, editing, now-and-then talk over, and constant support to Curtis to explain, are all at the highest level. It often takes a second genius to explain/show/make plain the work of a genius. I think this is the pair we have with Curtis and Karen. Karen, thank you so much for bringing Curtis’ multi-dimensional expertise out to the world. It clearly is requiring your own tremendous multi-dimensional expertise.

Kurtis and Karen, thank you for being who you are and sharing this with us. They two of you are so so good at what you do and we really appreciate everything that you put into your work and bringing us this kind of remarkable brain food and stimulating content. While it is a good laugh, the outakes show us the additional dedication and effort that you have and make for all of us. It's an absolute pleasure seeing Kurtis work and Karen bringing his work to KZread and supporting him in all that he does. You, including the Safety Officer deserve all the success and great things in this world. Thank you so much.

I always watch the outtakes first then laugh when I see them in the "professional" video, I really appreciate how straight-talking true engineers are in AU, worked with a few in the UK and had some of the best banter and worst hangovers in my life, scratched my head for a while before I realised what "grab a couple of tins of frothy from the esky before we get back to yakka will ya blue" meant, no telling me twice now tho.

I've said it before but I'm constantly fascinated in how your mind works with mechanical issues and problem solving.

OMG absolutely wonderful with your narration, Karen. Thank You. Hope to hear you more from now on. With the boy at times 2 speed. Made for an interesting video.

I have 6 of these at my place. On my second year with them. So far I have been happy. Piece of advice: The brackets That attach to the containers need to be welded to the containers or at a minimum the Allen keys checked monthly. They do back out and slip off. Had 2 shelters fail on the same day where they slipped off the square tubing on the top of the container. Bent up the frame a bit and I had to remove all my junk to get them repaired. Also everything underneath does still get wet in the rain because they are so tall with or without the wall up. Good luck. Love my extra shade.
