Sooo cool! Just when I thought you couldn’t beat the automatic car loading industry. This is amazing! If you can load and unload containers then you win. I’m flying to Australia just to shake your hand. And maybe swim in your pool. And operate some trains. And see a kangaroo.

Wow...This looks amazing... And you're doing all of this on your own! Could you tell me why you put grout all over the tile? Wouldn't the grout come off the surface as soon as you wash the tile with the sponge? I thought that kind of tile needed some sort of water repellent varnish... Sorry for my english, I am watching you from France 🤗
@csxmad3 ай бұрын
Thanks, and the reason i'm grouting all over the tile is because they have a lot of small holes in the tiles, and when i sponge the tiles the holes are filled in. Also i will be sealing the tiles as well cheers Robert
