      Why did you just plop a new cover over the leaky boards instead of actually finding where the rain is getting in and fixing that first? Isn't the water doing damage above the covering? 🤔

    Sarah, do not run a power tool like a saw or drill with a loose scarf around your neck. It can get caught. Nice work though.

  • @lv_woodturner3899
    @lv_woodturner3899 23 часа назад +5

    The drill got stuck because keyless chuck loosen when reversed, hence when Nick tried to reverse the drill, the chuck loosened and so the drill was left in the wood. A keyed chuck would hold in forward or reverse.

    I love that the boys wait to have their feet cleaned before entering the van. So well trained. The winter in Spain, of how I miss it having been doing it before the pandemic for 10 years. I think i need Sarah to come and decorate our flat, it is so beautiful, well done.

    The cups and saucers are Hornsea Pottery which chips easily. I live just outside Hornsea, and remember when the pottery was in its infancy.

    • @theexPAWers
      @theexPAWers  20 часов назад +1

      Yes!! And they do chip easily 😅.. We broke one already, we had 4! Probably not suitable for us in the van tbh!!

    Merry Christmas to a very sweet couple. I haven't been able to garden for a number of years due to growing older but, it was my passion most of my life. You will do very well with your land because you love it, and when you love your land it will love you back. It can feel your caring and hard work, and reward you in abundance. Your home is lovely, a dream home for sure! Your Christmas tree and lights are so homey. Hoping your Christmas is the best ever!

    Glad you got back to the house and all was OK. It must be a bit of a worry leaving it so long. Memories flooded back when I saw the green Hornsea pottery mugs. They must be from mid 60s. I can remember going to the factory and outlet in Hornsea East Yorkshire. It was quite the thing to have Hornsea pottery, so Bohemian! Have a good mini trip and Happy Christmas.

    False ceiling in poss damp area? Option could be to cover the gaps in the timbers with wood coverstrips and show the lot as bare tinber, maybe oiled to bring out the grain and colour. Any further damp incursion would then have little effect and it would breath and dry out. Could always fix the roof even....

      No, they can save ££'s by sticking to 'proper' roads. Even if they'd had a lift kit, they'd still be using more fuel and putting unnecessary wear and tear on it by being up and down the gears and on the brakes.
