    Rob I feel that Chris gets most of the complements and people don't really take in that you are as much good at what you do and I for one really appreciate your regular video and I don't know what I would do without them I have supported the channel from the beginning although I have had several accounts LOL 😂 you both are amazing and I really hope you always work together and don't go sepret and I would hate for yous both to leave RUclips hope you are well and keep the video coming Couse you are the best motor vehicle RUclips channel and I love your content keep up the brilliant work.

    Good choice to use recycled stuff and it's saving you guys alot of cash, I think that Chris is making excellent use of this land he has and the spray booth will be a valuable asset that will increase the amount of work you can do yourself thus paying for itself steadily, I always look forward to seeing what's next and I love you guys too... A pair of characters!.

    As a retired Civil Engineer I can see the quality of the work that Chris has done to the yard infrastructure. Volvo will be a nice project to see being fixed. Love the new Ramp/ jig, it will make life much easier for jig work and give you another ramp. Great content as usual, your excitement came through leith your new kit and yard re- modelling.👍🇬🇧😎

    Lots happening I just want to say how happy it makes me when Chris is talking about reusing things. I call it on purpose instead of repurposing. Because we need so badly to change our actions and minds about what trash is. Chris is a leader and visionary with his hands and his mind. The new jig is exciting. Thanks

    Chris seems a natural at fixing things and seems to really get a buzz out of it. A wise old philosopher once said: “when a man finds a job he truly loves, it ceases to be work” live long and prosper Rob & Chris ! 🙏

  • @paulcullen814
    @paulcullen814 Год назад

    Nice to see Chris again.
    You said about making the headlights easier to change bulbs. A friend of mine has a Renault Megane, the one with the ugly back end. She needed to change the dipped beam and sidelight bulbs. To do so, you have to jack up the car, remove the front wheel and a cover over a hole in the wheel arch liner. Then you can get to the back of the headlight to change the bulbs, put the cover back on then the front wheel, then do the same on the other side.

  • @johnmehaffey9953
    @johnmehaffey9953 Год назад

    Never a bad thing to put money into the business, nice to see Chris’s hard work on the yard is making progress,I’m retired now but I remember guy’s working on the gambons looking like the most bored person’s on the site just putting stones in and they had to keep the flat sides of the stone against the steel cage, I told them that they had it easy I’d to build the stone walls with only my builders line to keep things straight and level, happy days remembered, nice post guys, forgive the pun please

    A good job all around the gaff!
    The Volvo looks like a great project.
    The yard is something else! How the heck does Chris know how to do so much? Is he from another planet?
    And the new tool looks like a great idea.
    I’ve seen other people using the scissor lift as their main lift and they are great.
    To have the dozzer integrated as well is another level!

    Even though the yard is still a work in progress, you can see the potential there, just the fact that it will all integrate together with the extra space and access is going to be such an all round bonus for you guys. Love the Solar wall idea, that bank-top is a perfect spot for it. Keep up the great work.

  • @thefloorkiller
    @thefloorkiller Год назад

    Brilliant, Chris has been busy with the groundwork creating good use of the land, love how it's all coming together with the upcoming spray booth, great upcycling of the materials and design work, that ex rental land would make a great car lot. The new ramp and dozer unit is brilliant, can't wait to see that set up

  • @martin54123
    @martin54123 Год назад

    Guys, as you may know I live in the Alentejo, Portugal and have been trying to work out how to build a fence/wall to keep back a slowly deteriorating earth bank, your fence design has given me great ideas, many thanks and yours' look brill'. The new ramp/frame must have cost a few bob, but is awesome and will make your life easier so will pay for itself over time. As always, a great channel, compulsive viewing, thank you guys. 👍👍👍

  • @stephenricketts7764
    @stephenricketts7764 Год назад

    Well I miss read the thumb nail, I thought it said 'the Volvo design was cheap'!🙃 Now it all makes sense so my mistake! Although there seems to be quite a lot of damage most of it is superficial so a bit of relief there, as you say the end cap is designed to crumple. I am so pleased you have finally got your new jig it will be a real game changer. I think there is a lot less time for setting up as well. The old one has served you well but as we all get older we all want to make life easier for ourselves. I will be looking forward to the new one being put to use. Thank you to Chris for the yard update it all looks to be making good progress and 'Rome wasn't built in a day' as they say. Thanks for a great video and I didn't mind at all that it was a bit all over the place so to speak. Take care Rob and Chris, we will see you soon. 👍👍
