A Day In Our Life Vlog #1

In this video I thought i'd share a typical day in our lives. Sometimes things don't go to plan and things pop up and we end up going in a different direction. All good fun though working from home.

Great video Martin, you have lots of things going on throughout your day, fixing the power supply to the compressor, and that exercise machine i was worn out just watching you lol. hope to see more reliants videos Martin. Cheers, Jeff.

[@retrorestore]

Yes Jeff, I hope to be back on it very soon. Cheers Martin

[@antonywilde8496]

Nice to see behind the scenes Martin. I'm on holiday in caister on sea "Great Yarmouth" and the weather is not great lol stuck in a caravan but at least I can watch your vids :)

[@retrorestore]

Not good here either Antony, rain all day here too.

[@bendover9862]

Nice to see a young fella like your Jimmy out grafting for themselves and making their own way in the world.

[@retrorestore]

Yes, it's refreshing to see in today's world. Cheers Martin

[@shankill178]

Great video again Martin. I have 3 daughters and 3 grandchildren and I can sympathise with you. When you have family your time is not your own. We wouldn't be without them though.

[@retrorestore]

You got it Sam, I love my lifestyle. Beat's working for someone else.

[@stebenit]

enjoyed the vid Martin, nice to see Jimmy is still busy.cheers Steve

[@retrorestore]

Yes he is, He keeps me bust as well lol

[@LacyK]

Good call on the compressor power outlet. As you say, a 3HP motor is about as much as you can run off a 13A socket and, if it's used a fair bit it's likely that the plug would get very hot. Those 16A plugs/sockets are the proper job.

[@retrorestore]

Yes, I wasn't happy with the plug although they say it can run from a plug, it's not the proper job.

[@GregsMowing]

Very good video Martin. Looking forward to the trotter van like everyone else is 😀👍

[@retrorestore]

Yes Greg, so am I when I find the time lol

[@RiversideProductionz]

Just subscribed to your channel Martin. Keep up the good work and thanks a million for your help with the Transit videos

[@retrorestore]

Thanks for the sub bud. Glad you are enjoying the vids. Cheers Martin

[@RiversideProductionz]

retrorestore Yes the videos are very useful. If you could do one about colour restoration on a Ford transit that would be great :)

[@steve61098]

Hi Martin - just watched this latest vlog ... Loved it!. I have watched a lot of your videos and was particularly impressed with the Corsa Head Gasket and Timing Chain removal vids. It's even more impressive that most of what you do is self taught. Having watched so much of you it feels like I know you although we're total strangers!!..... WEIRD!! 😄. You're filming and editing technique make your vids all the more watchable.. Keep it up Martin!...... Steve Bowles

[@retrorestore]

Thanks Steve, Yes, All self taught on cars but always enjoyed working on them all my life. Thanks for watching bud. Cheers Martin

[@davidlough2182]

great video m8. your a very busy guy . i am amazed you get any time to do any videos lol looking forward to the next one.

[@retrorestore]

that's right Dave, It does take up a lot of time as you can see. Cheers Martin

[@TK42138]

Great vlog for several reasons; firstly because you're a natural in front of the camera and your vlogs are more entertaining than any reality tv show on mainstream tv. Secondly, the fact that you managed to escape the 9 to 5 rat race and spend more time with the family is a plus. Family is everything.

[@retrorestore]

Thanks bud, yes, I had to make the changes in my life to get what I want. I'm glad I did.

[@scottbikerdude4337]

Hi Martin, as the comment below said, watching you in hi speed on the cross trainer had my whole family screaming with laughter lol good vid mate keep up the good work. Scott

[@retrorestore]

That was normal speed Scott lol

[@stevenwatson3963]

Enjoyed that Martin!

[@retrorestore]

Thanks Steve

[@Menditman2014]

Good Vlog, your life reminds me of my dads when we were young, he worked on cars from home wheeled and dealer, but ran about after me and my brothers and his mum and dad. I'd say I'm half way out of the programmed work life, as you probably know, I have a gardening business but everything is flexible so if I want to go and get a bite to eat, or have a day off, or go on holiday I can do it without answering to anyone. My only issue is the strict rules for taking my daughter out of school for a holiday, if your kids were still at school that would be a good rant video lol, the biggest issue now is common sense less and less people have it. Anyway take care👍.

[@retrorestore]

Yes, that would get on my nerves being told that I couldn't take my kids out of school for holidays. I won't rant on that one though, i'll leave it to you lol

[@vdubs6068]

Great vid Martin.The Burisch 3hp air compressors are great for the price i use one at home had it 4 years gave it some right hammer and its still going strong i run mine off a 16amp breaker aswell. Cheers Jamie

[@retrorestore]

Yes, I have no complaints and it gets plenty of use as well. Great compressor for the money.

[@paulwright4765]

Great video Martin. I live a similar online sort of life with my wife making and selling online. I dread people asking "and what do you do?" I can never think of a short answer! 😀

[@retrorestore]

Haha yes, same here, always a tricky question that one Paul lol

[@vwcol..7719]

Getting nothing done I know that feeling and it normally boils down to your kids the older they get the more you do .. unbelievable😂😂

[@retrorestore]

That sounds familiar Col lol

[@DAVEEYEINTHESKY]

awesome video Martin, great to see your day to day life. looks like your always in demand hehe and it made my day when you mentioned my comment. I enjoyed this video very much and look forward to the next video. as always it's a thumbs up from me

[@retrorestore]

Thanks Dave, You are now famous as well lol

[@Arounadabout]

It made my day when he mentioned my comment as well, it really made me feel good, thanks Martin !

[@retrorestore]

No problem, I may do a monthly Q&A if there's enough interest.

[@chriscampbell8309]

martin seeing u running on speed up got me in fits off luaghter lol

[@retrorestore]

That was normal speed lol

[@chriscampbell8309]

i but u seed the video up lol

[@markbowles8847]

Hey Martin, not left a comment in a while but still been watching all the vids.. glad to see you looking well.. wore me out just watching you on that running machine.. love these sorts of videos letting us in your home and become proper virtual friends, as always look forward to the next video. 'untill then, bye for now' :) - Mark

[@retrorestore]

Thanks Mark. Good to see you are still enjoying the vids. Cheers Martin

[@ladyjanee]

Same ethics as you re earning an income.Had a few small businesses all online. Same attitude received from others who stay ' in the system '. Good to hear your points of view😊

[@jaggass]

Love to work from home but ive got to find the right thing to do. Sometimes We are someones slave when we work for somebody, hardly get paid anything and get treated like crap which has happened to me too many times. When you work from home you can do something you really like and see your family more often.

[@retrorestore]

That's what it's all about. I'm no longer a wage slave but I had to make it happen.

[@pauldoyle1128]

Fair play Martin 20 mins a day is spot on .

[@blackvanandrobin6413]

keep living the dream Martin

[@zedman442]

Nice to get an insight in your life mate. Would love to work for myself. Maybe one day! Also that son of yours Jimmy doesn't seem to like the camera much lol

[@retrorestore]

No he's like Sharon there lol

[@69Phuket]

Only Fools And Horses Work... The Butler outfit is a well oiled machine.....! I save the 'Bell' Notification for Mustie1 videos.. Yours are just a nice surprise! ;)

[@retrorestore]

Haha, didn't think of it like that lol

[@scotlandfromabove]

Love the video's

[@andycousins5016]

Lovely

[@leonlavelle7692]

Great vid Martin I would love to c another day in the life?

[@retrorestore]

Yes Leon, I may do a series of them.

[@jeffg8sei]

20 amp supply is definitely the way forward. The cross trainer!! not so sure 😁😁😂😂

[@retrorestore]

Haha, at my age you have to keep things moving Jeff lol

[@paulyh4531]

Great vlog as usual , your dog wagging tail at the end if you noticed lol 👍👍

[@retrorestore]

Yes he's a happy little dog lol

[@nick2203]

I'm not surprised you worked sweat on exercise machine given the speed you were running lol. Good video Martin you should do more daily vlogs, perhaps then people will see there is more to your life than restoring the Reliant.

[@retrorestore]

Yes, i'm going to do more Nick as i've had good feedback to them. Cheers Martin

[@petefroud5308]

Great video Martin . I thought you where going to give Jimmy some grief down the dog and bone lol. I sent you a small email earlier that might be of interest. Cheers Pete.

[@retrorestore]

Not seen it yet Pete, i'll look out for it.

[@petefroud5308]

Hopefully not gone to the junk filter .

[@kylefraser5490]

great video Martin keep up the good work 😎

[@retrorestore]

Thanks Kyle.

[@Arounadabout]

Brilliant video once again, keep up the good work and videos !

[@retrorestore]

Thanks Mark. Cheers Martin

[@scottwilliams1215]

Hi Martin, having just been made redundant myself, I would love to work from home but not sure doing what. Any ideas lol?

[@retrorestore]

Buying and selling is good fun.

[@irwinmcevoy]

lovin the rant shirt

[@retrorestore]

Everybody of a certain age should have one Irwin lol.

[@brianpercival1829]

Busy day. I like what you said about working at home and people stayed at work calling you a nutter. They are still doing the same thing day in and day out. You have something different each day and that makes life more interesting. Yesterday was something out of the ordinary here. I broke my coffee caraf and need to get a replacement. Happened before, $8 at Walmart. So I get there, no carafs of any kind. 0. What's this? They always have replacements. Ask a sales lady, they stopped carrying them. Better for the store to sell a new one. Hummph....I went next door to Canadian Tire. Looked around for carafs there, none. I did find the Black and Decker maker that has my caraf I needed but had to buy the whole unit, not as good as the one I have, wasn't programmable. Still was $20. I now have to spend more than twice just to replace a broken glass caraf. This is Bullshit. Another example of big corporations sticking it to the consumer. One day there will be a revolt! I'm getting sick and tired of it. Oh, sorry, I love to RANT!

[@retrorestore]

Sounds like my sort of rant Bri lol, That just sums up how crazy this world is now. Cheers Martin

[@brianpercival1829]

The Canadian Tire sales lady liked my shirt. "My husband loves to Rant"

[@retrorestore]

Haha, nice one Bri. You old ranter lol

[@kute940]

Awesome upload, this is wonderfull♥

[@reviewthat]

Thanks a lot. Cheers

[@balbie29]

Hi, you've probably had a bunch of comments saying so already but is jimmys compressor connected to a time delay mcb? It may need one. Type d I think.

[@retrorestore]

I's got a type C motor rated breaker now with it's own dedicated 20A supply. Cheers Martin

[@karentoynton8948]

Crumbs seeing this vlogg Martin you can really see how much weight you have lost .

[@ashboy225]
