    Having restored a Victorian house, mostly on my own, I totally understand the overwhelm of one huge job after another. Don’t burn out, there are plenty of smaller jobs to do, pace yourself. The progress you’ve made to date is extraordinary, take time to enjoy your achievements x

      Cher Daniel,
      Quand vous deciderez-vous à porter un casque de chantier pour marcher sur vos solives et grimper à l'échelle.
      N'oubliez pas que nous tenons à vous et que vos fils ont besoin de leur Daddy...
      Bravo pour votre courage !

They know each other from when Dan worked as a gardener at Château de Lalande and she was a volunteer. And no, he can't attach a drill to his lifter because it has a safety mechanism that locks if it goes too fast. And lastly, if safety is of utmost importance to you, you're on the wrong channel 😂

    Kat, Dan was not annoyed at having to explain. He was annoyed you didn't understand ;-) Dan and Nick are so in sync, I imagine it is a challenge having to slow down and communicate. You did a GREAT JOB.

      @westmus Месяц назад +15

      If someone don't understand, It's simply not explained "correct". We do all have different brains. The success of trying to teach something, is highly based in understanding how you best explain something to the exact person you try to teach. You need to be slower,, much more specific and detailed to some than others. Give Kat an month working with Dan and they will suddenly start talking the same language.
