    When people talk about renovating a building or chateau my mind doesn't go to wallpaper and chandeliers, it usually goes to concrete slabs, IPN's, beams, new roofs and zinc flashing and then of course much further down the line ,,,, wallpaper ,,,,,, chandeliers ! We are ALL rooting for you Dan and will follow you blindly into this renovation !

    What a result!! I instantly thought, what if you planted rododendron bushes, all along the driveway? They'll get the acidic soil, they love, and now, that the trees have been trimmed, some sunlight will reach them too! The dark, green leaves are nice - and when they bloom - what a sight, that could be 😍

    • @michellebyrom6551

    I remember in the early 80s how I was the signals officer for my Regt here in Canada. As part of my training I was sent to the signals school, while there I was taught to climb pole and trees to lay line. I still have my spurs and climbing gear, occasionally use them to trim trees at my cottage . Nothing as fancy as Nick, well done and thanks for the show.🇨🇦

    Dan please say to Nick “Ey up me duck” from me a Mansfield lass who lives right in Sherwood Forest. Bloody cold to be working in that weather, better not let that saw slip out your hands!😅
