    Absolutely feel the lethargy. I've just embarked on a restoration project which was supposed to be exciting. A little 2 bed cottage terrace in Devon. Lovely. I thought a few months of hard graft, bit of time spent collecting colour charts, bit of bants with the plumber. It'll be good for my mental health I thought, doing something my hands - it was either that or buy bike to join the other tragic, careering towards middle aged triathlon aspirationals . So I'm 8 skips in bucketing out 100 years of shit building work, spent more time talking to building control than my kids and dealing with a section of the population who think 'professional' means a sign written van and an account at screwfix. Just yesterday, before the windows go in, I found all the lintels are rotten and as it's a random stone building there is a high chance this will become a disastrous game of jenga. Today I am watching RUclips, watching some Bisby guy telling me I'm doing it wrong.

    Have become addicted to your channel whilst isolating with covid(very mild). Followed recommendation from Andy Mac. This is a great video! I've never tackled anything as big but I totally empathise with becoming a physical wreck with a bad back, lost sleep, and the stress. Still can't understand why nothing in the trade is the size it's sold as, and of course there's working out how to fit stuff and then working out how to fit it yourself with nobody to hold the other end! Time off is so important for motivation. My mantra became "it doesn't matter what you do, but just f**cking do something'. Keep up the great work.

Plus you're inspiring people: I've now booked myself in for an introductory course on the use of lime in buildings which will then lead on to a one day course on lime plastering and rendering which I'm hoping will give me enough to be able to do small lime plaster repair and replacement works in my own house (big jobs will still go to a proper pro!). I'd never have even thought of it if you hadn't mentioned it at some point.

    I have used the resin cement a couple of times for repairing broken stone window sills. It does clump up on tools, but I had some success with washing up liquid smeared on them to smooth it off. Sets hard and doesn’t crack and can be ground and sanded to blend (masonry painted afterwards). Useful stuff.

    • @THE-AIDEN-PROJECT

      @davidpestell7563 2 года назад

      @@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT no but I did expoxy a couple of steel pins (in drilled holes) in to the sill first and built it up around them, in case it got knocked again. Problem was each time I touched some I put on previously it stuck back to the new stuff on the trowel, so I ended up using two to scape off and shape. Personally I would have exactly what you did with the tray if I had that issue, most of the weight is central and not on the perimeter and would have been a shame to damage the studwork. Enjoy your break and glad to see your vids are starting to pay off….and yes I am 40 something :)

      I probably will buy things well in advance and measure them first but now I know there's trays out there that are designed to be cut! (without the reinforcing faff that I did) It just so happens that earlier today, I found a Spanish firm selling ones that can be custom cut, for quite a reasonable price. They actually look exactly the same as ones that are 3 times the price! 🤨

We got a plasterer and a roofer to do the felt but done everything else ourselves.

    Another great video mate. Loved the boogie on Saturday night and again on the shower tray, reminded me of me when I was working on my place alone and a TUNE would come on. We finally moved into our place at the weekend and I still have three showers to fit. I was thinking that I could just put the shower trays straight onto the 22mm Egger protect floor boards but now I'm second guessing myself. The trays I have come with leveling screws to allow for minor adjustments when placing them or to allow for raised legs to be screwed in so I'm hoping they'll be ok straight on the floor but would love to know what you think or what you would do?
