How Much? And Other Renovation Questions - Q&A

[@robertcooper2427]

Please, please, please don't charge your presentation style it's what makes your chaîne stand out from all rest. ❤😂👍

[@L._S._DE]

I really liked the moment... "there is no rush"

[@synicyst9925]

If it is something you actually use and can speak about truthfully I would not think badly of you for taking sponsorship. I like your quiet introverted style and I want to see you successful with this. I know from personal experience how it is to build my home out of a ruin and live happily in it. A thoughtful person like you deserves that experience.

[@kennethwilliams7522]

I watch you because you're authentic. I've described you as the poet rehabber. Keep being you.

[@adamedk]

Cheers to that!

[@sharondilloncavalierland954]

I enjoy your presentation style. I'd rather see the work with a lovely voiceover than talking heads. You have a calming voice and good sense of humor. Thank you!

[@stevebarratt6648]

I started following your channel because I found your style of delivery much easier to watch than many of the 'instagramable-life-is-great-all-day-every-day' youtubers who are just exhausting to watch. Plus, I don't mind seeing sponsorship or product promotion that helps you fund the renovation, so don't feel the need to pass up an opportunity (so long as it's not overdone) - we can always hit fast-forward 😁

[@barbarakloise6790]

I love your channel, and I have no problem with you sponsoring products. You're trying to make money on KZbin. That's why you're doing it. And i'm all for as long as it's not three per episode. I totally understand why you would do it. So don't cut yourself short just because we won't like it.

[@nigeldibden9293]

Another brilliant video! " There's no rush" Oh, I love you Lewis. If you need the money why not go with a sposorship? It won't stop me from watching.😊

[@peterarmstrong4074]

"I'll cheer up when i want to cheer up, thanks" 😀

[@grahamhorne5060]

Take no notice of the negativity from some people…we love your channel and what you are doing😊 6:04

[@petesshed]

Don't change Lewis, your style of presentation is wonderful, along with a dry and very amusing humour to boot. I think what I've liked about this vid above all is the fact that you're very open and honest; traits that I find less nowadays in humans... well, in the UK anyway. I wish you well, both you and Marion. All the best 👍

[@janeshorsestuff]

I enjoy your laconic style, as well as seeing you renovation skills.

[@iansteer4803]

Please keep with the droll presentation. Your comments and philosophical observations on life are looked forward to each week. Leave "diving in" to those who like that of thing. Droll is good!!!

[@joachim.charleshogg4728]

Do not change anything, you are doing fine and it is your property, no one but you have to live in the house and it is your house/ home after all. Regards.

[@paterfiets]

Love the humor and style of the videos. You are the Dan Worral of renovations..

[@bradcrompton9055]

Lots of people like to get on there little keyboards and complain, You've stopped the building from falling down and started reversing the neglect that would have led to it falling down. Keep up the good work!

[@mireillederamburedutheil8827]

Bonjour les gens posent des questions qui ne les regarde pas vous faites comme vous voulez quand vous voulez avec ce que vous avez ce que vous avez entrepris c est le travail de longue haleine pas fait en deux mois personne ne vous a proposé de vous aidez...mais critique moi j'ai 83 ans et j aime beaucoup ce que vous faites merci

[@EarwaxSFB]

My suspicion that you have audio and video production experience is now validated. Thank you. Your videos are so well done and I think your narrations are wonderful and very unique. The pace is fine, don't speed it up. I really enjoyed the Q&A, Thanks again... ☕

[@69woodburner]

Don't sell your soul. We watch because we like your calm and relaxed delivery. Take no notice of those finding faults. If criticism is not constructive, it is worthless, in my opinion. Hope your good lady is feeling better.

[@petebartlett2229]

How rude are some folk!! Your videos are chill..don’t change

[@doneslick1362]

I like your idea for the terrace

[@davidbee3736]

I have to say you don’t need to change your presentation style. It’s great. As for the criticism of your approach to the renovation that is great too. I really like the measured and thoughtful approach to the work you’re doing. I’ve renovated quite a few properties all be it in the UK and I have to say I wouldn’t do anything differently to you. Keep up the good work and I look forward to viewing your progress.

[@medwsc123]

What you're doing works, thank you for sharing 👌

[@TheBookaroo]

For what it’s worth, I do like the presentation tone and pace, I find it relaxing and the content informative. The music is also good, and the humour has a nice British flavour. All the better for me.

[@gudrunasche9124]

I am german and i like your videos. Each person have his/her own style to make videos an that is great. Thank you for yours.

[@Chrisc-sn6uh]

I love that little door in the loft! Things like that really make a home interesting.

[@Sparks1Plumbers0]

Lewis mate. First off, carry on doing what you're doing at your pace and in your style. I for one appreciate your hard work and tbh it is just right and so me. So thanks for that. 👍 Re, the question. All I got from them is thoes asking most of them clearly have not been following you from the off, have they! Anyway just carry on as you are, as and when you and Marion can. I for one will be quietly watching and following. Respect 👊

[@eriksolie511]

As the saying goes,, just keep on keeping on. As for sponsorship, wasn't there a couple already? Laser level & sump pump? As long as you can say what you wanna say, what's the problem? More bucks for you = more video for us!

[@davidfennell5124]

Keep doing what your doing the way you want to do it man, you are being authentic! Personally, i really like it.....

[@huwtindall7096]

Nice episode mate! Hope the missus is on the improve soon. The variety of the videos is sensational. Some proper DIY stuff and then the story about the cat which was a genuine tear jerker.

[@LittleChena]

I love your narration! No need to change!

[@mimiso516]

I appreciate the calm, quiet, un-rushed cadence of your voice. Reminds me of my grandmother's (Isle of Man) tone, though her voice was growly with age. LOL

[@familiefossa2622]

I love your slow talking! 😊

[@jeffkeating8994]

Do the sponsorship because the more money you make the more progress we will see and 90sec isnt too bad Maybe do a Online Rave at the home renovation project

[@deirdreanderson7620]

I enjoy your videos and your style! Thank you!

[@marcoliebl3715]

I really love this channel and the way you make the videos. No matter how slow you speak, your videos are still very interesting. And maybe also because you speak slowly, your videos can be very relaxing and leave time to ponder your decisions. So please continue like that and I hope that Marion gets back on track. Greetings from Germany 🙂

[@Daytona2]

Oh that makes perfect sense, about your music and photography background, Lewis, given your cinematographic skills. I get the impression YT has been a release for so many stymied creatives, and it's wonderful to see. I like your style and I like surreal, that's why I'm here - the YT algorithm is that good at collecting like minded people 😉 It must be so comforting knowing that you bought well and that you've tackled the major issues

[@Camille-HugoFONTENELLE]

I wouldn't be worried by the cracks in the maçonnerie so far. When you think about it: you've changed the environment of this corner quite much. Of course, you've done right to the house, but within the 2 centuries life of it, adding gutters is a Révolution ! The maçonnerie needs to adjust, adapt, and settle to the changing environment. That's exactly what a 40 years old house can't do because it's too rigid. Like the videos 📹 greetings from la Manche

[@wyrdlg]

I love your calm way... Much needed!

[@kimrafferty7170]

Great video, I'm sorry you have both been under the weather, I hope you both feel better soon. I love your videos and I loved your answers to the questions, it does annoy me that people think they have the right to know the cost of everything, it seems to be a thing that if you make videos you have tell everyone the details. With sponsors, I feel if it is a product you use or trust in and it can help with your renovation then why shouldn't you take an offer. I hope you have a good week and thank you again for another great video x

[@thebelowaveragegamer9252]

I love the pace of the videos, also the tone and style of your speech. Very relaxing

[@john_ace]

The biggest lesson i have learned myself is: *"do it for yourself".* In the past i often thought to myself that i had helped others for their sake. But when i did not get back the positive reaction i was expecting, i was often sad and angry. This has led to some very ugly interactions where i realized that i had been taken advantage of and i did not enjoy the things i did in my free time anymore. I finally came to the conclusion that if i do everything predominately for myself, i would only have myself to blame if i was not happy about it. Therefore i would first think if a new project is fun or not and then decide if i want to do it. I will never again set myself back to seemingly help someone who might not really like or want my help in the first place. It is sometimes quite comical to find a reason why something is actually done for myself or for my entertainment but in the end, it helps since i can stop any time without having a a bad conscience.

[@jennichristie5264]

You be you! Re advertising, just maybe accept things that are useful to your project and be honest about their practicality, pros and cons. Then you shd satisfy your ethics and your pocket! It’s hard work what you do so may as well make the most of the opportunity, in my humble opinion. The ads are on most channels and we all deal with it!

[@gerryison7341]

I love this and the channel many thanks for it

[@molnargabor8689]

I like your videos and your old house. For me it is very relaxing to watch your videos. Thanks!

[@pichoux9743]

I ENJOY !

[@HannahMariaWhiteLight]

No rush ... 🤍🙏✨

[@thomasmcelhinney3696]

really like listening to your channel, have watched a lot of renovation videos on youtube and yours is my favourite. Its not so much the actual content as it is your style and delivery. now this further observation might seem strange but i suffer from tinnitus and your tone of voice and delivery always helps me to relax and reduces my tinnitus. you could use this talent to narrate short stories to help people relax and reduce stress. no offence intended but it works for me.

[@TheRenovationProject]

No offence taken. I too suffer from tinnitus and know how debilitating it can be. Glad to hear the videos help and are enjoyed.

[@John-k2t]

Love your style, please do not change, keep going you will get there in the end.

[@karem9605]

Hi, I found your channel a week ago and like your narration style, keep it up. Now, about having sponsors well If it's a product you would use you could do it.

[@paulaspinall919]

“Cheer up”. When you were doing the pointing I was thinking about putting my fingers in the socket (figuratively speaking) or seeking out the nearest railway line. You have stuck with the job and being yourself. Good for you. You being you is as important as the content.

[@raytheron]

I love your videos, your presentation, your sense of humour and your work. Please don't feel you need to change anything. (If the not-so-positive comments come from non-subscribers... well, they sort of don't count then, do they?)

[@normanboyes4983]

I think I will add to the ringing endorsement of your style and dry delivery. I certainly do get a bit hacked off with the YT gushing about how excited they are and how everything is awesome and how happy they are as they glug on a disgusting green liquid (AG1) and then go on how they improve their mental health by having access to an online ‘trick cyclist’. As for sponsorship on your channel - if you can find the right sponsor for ‘appropriate stuff’ that you also need for the project (including tools) - it has to be worth doing. You are doing all the right things (BTW I thing AG1 is an analogue of salad soup).😉

[@NL-001]

Well, yes, I also sometimes fall asleep while watching your video’s. On the other hand I do like the slow mode you are in. I watch several channels who are doing renovations and are adding advertisements now. Don’t really mind, I just fast forward that part. So just do what is most profitable for you to continue. Greeting you from The Netherlands.

[@Pete.Ty1]

👍👍👍. Thank you

[@soniawoolley366]

Love your videos - they're bit different. Stick with it ...

[@schneiderkardiologe]

Danke!

[@TheRenovationProject]

Thank you! :)

[@jimmy4952005]

stick in mate well done keep going

[@michaelmcclafferty3346]

Love your presentation style. Think again about sponsorship if it suits you and helps you buy stuff that otherwise would have to wait.

[@MarianneInmarsilia]

Covid is going around…just had it myself. I live in the Southeast.

[@andymccabe6712]

So ......not at all like Eeyore, then.......!!? My favourite Eeyore quote:- 'typical..that's exactly what WOULD happen......!!'

[@jefflaufer3205]

Your videos would undoubtedly suffer from sponsor presentation. If you do it, make it a relatable product or service, do it subtly, and for God's sake, no VPN. ❤ LOVE your story telling.

[@avisitorhere]

Let me share a shortcut with you on how to work the numbers for your project. This is a very useful equation for almost anything really. Here it is. Is your wife happy? Then the numbers work, because Happy wife = Happy life. And I just noticed on this video, is that aluminum flashing on the chimney? If it is, that's a bummer. Copper or lead with a patina on it is so much nicer on the eyes.

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

At 7 minutes, " There is no rush"................................... 😂👍🤣🤣💝

[@stephenprocter9424]

Please be aware that jardin d'hiver is a 'winter garden'. Make sure you are on the same page as it is not strictly speaking a conservatory.

[@robine916]

My personal opinion about sponsorships etc is that, if I watched a TV show, (and, yes even YT in general) I see ads that make $$ for the station. So, as far as I am concerned, there is no difference between the YT/TV ads, and you talking about your sponsor's items/services. You need to get paid, too, and YT barely gives creators much of a % from their ads. You could always run them at the end so people can click off if they don't wish to watch. FWIW, I like your presentation/attitude. No fluff or fakery.💕💕💕

[@bradb7342]

There's no Rush...... 😀

[@SLane249]

By all means take a paid promotion, would be good money and I fast forward those anyway ;)

[@chisamosa]

Well people are just incredibly rude. I wonder if they’d say some of these things to your face? When did manners disappear? I think you 2 are great! ‘I was trying to attract a cat, not the neighbour’😂😂

[@Reet64]

Don't change your style (unless YOU want to). People have the choice to follow or not. I find your dry British humour quite entertaining. As for sponsorship, you're entitled to make some money from your video if you chose to. To be honest, other KZbinrs I watch do it and if I'm interested in the product I follow along. If not, I skip past it. I would only say, if you accept a sponsorship, do it only because you would actually use the product and that it furthers your goals for the project. I don't need to see a luggage advert for a home reno project, for example. And finally, you can ignore my advice or any stupid comments you get here. It's the only way to stay sane in the digital world.

[@selkums3225]

Hats off to your commitment 👏

[@mondy-chan]

bro, take all the sponsors you can, if its not some shady betting site, then deffy go for it, atleast i would definitely not mind that, and if the sponsor makes sense to your work you are trying to do here (material supplier for example?), then all the better!

[@marikajohn6522]

😊😊

[@kt38138]

Regarding the "You Ruined It!" section: The only thing you ruined is the chance of being buried alive when it collapses.

[@StevenThorp-e1q]

No problem with sponsorship and product endorsements if you believe in the ‘product’ and you don’t over do them. You might as well make a bit more money towards the renovation

[@itziaralkain6193]

If they don't like you, they can go somewhere else!

[@pichoux9743]

And WhatsApp about Marion in your Project, is her e fan of thé big dj you was

[@rosaleezeier2559]

If you are so critical why on earth are you watching!!!
