Fuck me.... I can't imagine how you folks felt as more and more of that wall came away but I was feeling pretty sick to my stomach watching it but I suppose it needs dug out and rebuilt for your safety. It's great to see that even after all that you still managed to mess around and get a laugh in between Mick's strops 😉🤣🤣

@@techmarine83 I'm afraid the music is royalty free, this video was just a recap of our first year in France so the music is a little more dominant. In our following 30+ videos we document things a little more closely so the music is only there when there is no talking, or if we have had to speed up footage. Honestly sometimes the music is better than the sound of the drum mixer or hammer drill! Thanks for the feedback!
