Just wanted to say how lovely it is to see a farther and son team working together, Awwwww Bless! My eldest son is nearly five so a bit young to follow in my foot steps. I don't work in construction but have always found how builders build to be of interest. The bits you can not see behind the plaster board, foundations and service entries into buildings ect. Love your videos and the bond you have with your son. I remember working with my dad on painting and decorating jobs, times i will never forget. I hope to have a close bond like you have with your son with my two sons, I've got one five and the other two and a half. Keep up the great videos and i bet your a proud farther and well deserved too.

Excellent craftsmanship as always gents. Looking really nice. Glad you didn't tie in the the neighbors wall, by the looks of it that won't last much longer. Will be interesting to see if after you have completed the job the neighbor see's your fantastic work and asks for you to do them a new garden wall, weather it falls down or not. You would think they would of wanted it replaced as it's failing plus your all ready there. But I heard you say the neighbors didn't want it replacing. Good jobs gents 👍👍🍺👌

Nice job lads, I just finished a similar job, but only the customer supplied their own stone that they'd ordered online, it was all supposed to be coursed at 75 x 300 x 100, but the depth of it varied from between 50mm and 85mm, which made it a bit of a nightmare to gauge, and apart from that they'd paid top dollar for it, £192 M2, but given the choice I'd prefer to lay the stone effect walling you're using in the video, I find some of it can look just as good as the natural product, and all at a fraction of the cost
