    I don't think we all tune in to see "just tiling", although that is impressive, and definitely looks fantastic! I tune in to see your progress, the beautiful surroundings, your perseverance, and love of your dogs, and their unconditional love for you. Thank you for sharing! Take care of yourself, and enjoy your break.

I'm looking forward to you having a good rest at the end of it though. Btw youtubers do promotions - it's expected. You need money to advance the house the way you want it. We'll keep watching - promise!

You are just telling people how it worked for you. Whether it's good or bad, you know what the Hell with what people think. Everybody is so fickle.

    Hi Andy, well done with finishing that roof, it looks amazing! Thought I'll offer advice for your hands, dry skin, etc. Get yourself some Castor Oil and rub it into your skin after a bath or shower, it is absolutely a game changer. All the best with your project. Looking forward to see how you transform the place.

    Having retired to Portugal in January ‘24 and now working to build up my farm and its outhouses, I am learning to really respect the people who do construction work every day of their lives.
    I am realizing the toll it takes on the body, with new aches and pains daily 😂😂. I wouldn’t change it for the world, but it does show how soft I got after a career in an office behind a desk!

    Take pride of the roof and tiling so far, but take care of your health and rest your hand, pls!. Also, cement and grout dust are irritants of your breathing system. quite allergenic that cause lots of stuffiness and cough so wear a mask when pouring into the mixer. Admire your determination and guts to get the job done. Best wishes from Puerto Rico.

Looking forward to starting in the house. How is the new cistern filling up? You have had a bit of rain so the water level should be creeping up. We are heading into winter in Western Australia. Although you wouldn't know it at the moment. We are receiving record high temps for this time of the year around 30 degrees. Nights are quite cool though.

    Youve got to listen to your body. That was what I learnt after I hit 50. I used to think I was indestructible😂😂😂 Nope!
    As for paid promos. I don't mind if they are relevant to the channel and if the channel has tested it. You have been using that for months, it is very useful for what you are doing and it is relevant so no bother. Nothing worse than some product that is nothing to do with the channel or an over enthusiastic You tuber waxing lyrical about something they haven't tested but got for free.
    That is some area to tile. Well done.

    Andy, you did an amazing job on that roof ! I don't think James could have done any better.

    Andy, you sounded very sick with your allergies and cold. The tiles are looking great on the roof. Now the touch part of cutting tiles and laying them in, but it is going to be an awesome place to relax in the afternoon / early evening as it looks like the trees do a good job of shading it. The leaves are annoying 😊but without them that roof would always be hot during the spring and summer and not that enjoyable. Always glad to see the boys running around. As always great video (even just watching you lay tiles!).
