Classic Vintage Dumper Trucks Tractors and My JCB All Still Going Strong
Machines do help to make light work of some jobs. Here we have my friends 1950 vintage dumper truck and still going strong. An old tractor still working its PTO to split logs and finally my JCB which I think is around 30 years old and still going strong. My JCB is a 3CX SiteMaster 4x4 turbo charged digger.

The window cill can now be varni...

Just found your channel looking forward to watching catch up , can i ask how much you paid , looks right up my street
Hello, pleased to see you are doing a renovation project, be honest and dont lie about the work you are doing like others on these sites, good luck with it,,
Lots of hard work and preparation but hope that’s air lime you sr3 using and not the dreaded NHL?
Wow
Mortar is your sacrificial layer
👍👍
How did you get on with the jcb loads of memory's of that model the best of that range and the best,Aidan in Ireland
That machine is smoking very heavily!!!!
How did you check the walls before buying the property? Any particular signs to look at for certain levels of water ingress?
Nonce is at it again with young girls , grooming them when they have had a drink , you don’t smoke don’t drink remember funny how you work
The walls and the tile work look amazing. Can't wait to see what you do with the rest of the room.
Nice pointing, you have a much more flexible back than mine 🤣
You're going to want to seal the other side up too it might make them cup if you don't 👍
Volume is off
Is the pipe your soldering 16 mm. The torch your you are using does not fit the gas bottles in France. I bought a converter to use the gas bottles. It was about £40. I have the code number for that Torch if you need it.
Thank you, it was useful to hear from someone with professional experience! Inexpert onlooker question - is it possible the additional nut on the tap is to allow tightening at the correct orientation, rather than just spinning up to the natural end of the thread or using plumbers tape?
Hello, having been in plumbing and also having worked in the USA, The Bahamas and lots of UK plumbing there is definitely no need for the additional nut as it really serves no purpose
As the vertical elbow only serves as an overflow, you would have made it easier for yourself if you left the joint dry. I would have used a flexible pipe connector instead of the slip joint but appreciate they are a lot more expensive in France than the UK and not always available in local DIY stores.
Bravo pour le travail !
Beautiful renovation! Where in France??????
I am in the Haute Vienne area of France
That roof looks a bit iffy.😮
Love your videos 😊. The volume on this one was kinda low 😐
Thanks for the. nice comments
Beautiful work, you are dedicated.
Thanks and I hope you enjoy my future videos too
22:30 Lovely cat, and great job btw.👍🏻
excelente
Do you have to grout the floor? What are you mixing up for the pointing on the walls?
Hello and yes I need to grout the tomette tiled floor and for the pointing I am using traditional lime mortar mixed at a ratio of 3 to 1 lime
The last few days I’ve watched all your videos. Well done you it’s looking amazing and I’m looking forwards to the next Keep smiling and sweat it out. Love the attitude
Hello and thank you for watching my videos and I hope you enjoy all the new videos to come in due course as things progress
🔥🔥🔥♥️😊🇧🇪
Durch die vielen Steine wirkt der Raum sehr unruhig. Mein Fall ist das nicht...muss es ja auch nicht!
Lovely houses
Thank you! 😊
Were are you ????
I live in the Haute Vienne area of France
Beautiful results ❤
Thank you and please keep watching
Mooi...echt prachtig👌👍...from Nederland 😊
É isso aí! Fantástico🤝🏻👍🏻
I have undertook the same process and it wasn’t an easy task. Listen pointing the bricks after showcasing the roughness Of the character of the bricks. Good job mister.
The Stonework is beautiful if you take the time to clean it and repoint all the joints with Lime Mortar. Removing the decayed moisture retentive old plaster and pointing makes the house drier and more beautiful filled with old character and well worth the effort
Beautiful ❤
Thank you and please keep watching
Excellent work. Ignore these back seat drivers
Thank you and I have been in construction too long to pay any attention to them and once again Thanks and keep watching
❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👍
Beautiful! The antique tiles look like they have been there for 200 years
Yeah that was the general idea to remove them from one part of the building and reclaim as many as possible to create another beautiful floor that didn’t look modern when completed
Worst done
Beautiful, but worried about your dog breathing in all that dust.
Dusty work
Wow. 20 minutes into the video and after incredibly repetitive stonework we really get to see the tiles….😂
Yeah it’s very repetitive especially working on your own and hard work. Thanks for the compliment and please keep watching
What a hell of a job, and what an awesome result!
it seems that you forgot to randomize the different colour tiles before you started. Rookie mistake.
Tou have no electricity in the room, why did you not put it in the floor first & come up between the stone, then put the cement between the stones & then put the floor down
Top job gratulation❤
Классно получилось! Красиво.
Por certo vai ficar com as pedras sem os rebocos,😮 então vai ficar muito bom.
Uma banheira muito bonita, por certo vai aproveitar 😍
Great job!!👍🙂
