    I was literally laughing out loud when Philip was explaining the pipes to Anna. I find it all the funnier when you then say something completely pedestrian like doing a "dry fit". You guys are utterly hilarious and I love that you don't take yourselves too seriously, it is the only way to get jobs like this done.
    I also this it is so funny that Anna is so proud of her waste pipe but when Philip repaired the camera it was like yeah... well done.
    Good job, the pair of you! :)

Seeing the humour, the story telling, the work you all put in, the friendship, and the community building in this project, makes for such an uplifting journey to watch. We’ve all had a difficult turbulent, uncertain 2 and bit years. But speaking for myself, your channel provides not just a relief (humour is so important) but provides real positivity into the world in all the ways I mentioned above. Hats off to you all

    The humor was needed this week after so much sadness in the world. This vlog was one of your best between the humor, Putin references, electrocutions, waste pipes, dust, mess, accomplishments, bantering and plain old fun and laughter between the two of you. Anna, you always look so pretty when filmed outside. And Philipp you are concerned about wearing your safety gear yet you climb up an unbalanced ladder and saw a pipe on your leg, my goodness you crack me up. Lots of hugs, stay safe and well. xx

My husband had our lawn for many years when I decided to try, when I finished he said you missed a spot here and here and I’ll have to mow it all again. I said You’ve done it for years and expect me to be perfect the first time, it’s your job again and I haven’t done it again since. My husband isn’t as smart, lol. Can’t wait to see the kitchen done!

      I was thinking the same thing, you know you'll need to do something with the electrics, especially if you close them off completely. Consider an access door!! I did that where our dryer vent curved 180 degrees (after the builder finally checked my complaint of toooo much lint), and I'm glad I did, it makes vent cleaning simpler. Plus we had 4 years of lint in our ceiling that needed to be cleaned out!

    Thanks for ending on positive note.About to restart restoring 120 yr old house since I didn't die in last 2 yrs...realized my tolerance of chaos is very little as felt stress watching you. Must say I love a shelf just by the door to put stuff down when exhausted ( quite often) and can't hike things all over makes it easy to know where things are most likely. Had bright green/white swirl , edged in black plastic tiles all through the kitchen in first house that were put on with some ridiculously strong adhesive. Took forever to get them off and refinish the walls, wish had that tool then. Thanks for the glimpse of spring, nothing showing in Illinois yet.
