Brilliant job done there guys. The attention to detail is fantastic and I bet your neighbour is made up to get the rotten chimney removed and such a neat repair their side too.

Thank you Mike, I hope she is, I still need to give her the chimney pots as she’s very elderly and she asked for us to keep them for her because her farther used to be a chimney sweeper. Appreciate your kind words! 😊

Brilliant work

Thank you Peter , and thank for your constant support 👍

Hi both it looks fantastic and so neat , and 8 weeks is to be honest pretty good going . And I doubt you would get the same attention to detail from some professionals , not all I hasten to add but you know what I mean . As for work gear we always used Snicker stuff , it’s expensive but it takes some beating. Also they do a pretty comprehensive catalog, as regards sizing , funnily enough I recently sent some hardly used trousers to charity , the type that had a top bit that went over your shoulders . Just out of curiosity I had look to see how much they cost now , ironically they still sell them at £138 pounds 😂 . But you being the hardy type shorts should be a lot cheaper , and now of course they do work gear for ladies to . And you would have to have your channel name on them obviously , I can see both all resplendent as you tackle the next phase of this fascinating project .👍. Kind regards as ever.

No problem you are becoming my go to channel , and yes I do follow quite a few . But I wish in the early 80s I had the chance of being able to interact with people like you , but of course in those times it was the local library that was the fountain of all knowledge . I’m sure you probably know there will be a plenty of people out there that will be keen to see and absorb the content you provide . Knowledge is always king , and our duty as custodians is to impart as much as we can , to our fellow compradores . OTT probably but many of my former apprentices still will say I helped them on their journey , even though I might have given them a hard time at some point . Kind regards as always from an old curmudgeon 😂
