The AI has definitely given you a British accent. And after hearing the original voice over or so long I think I prefer the original. The human just has a lot more range in emotions and tones. If it is not prohibitively expensive or tough I would not mind waiting for the human to do it.

A lot of times in North America people just butt the deck boards up to each other, seeing as they are the most damp and moisture holding they will ever be at installation, then when they inevitibly shrink from drying out you get your gap in between the boards for water and snow ice to melt through. Bit of a controversial point though when deck building, I've also used my speed square to get the gap between boards. Different strokes for different folks! (or climates) Cheers

I will admit that it is odd to hear your voice but I thank you for getting the translation software that lets us hear your voice. I don’t understand the nail question if you are seen getting all the nails from the same box without looking. I guess people don’t always see what they see. IMHO I think you are a great carpenter and the people of your city who get you on their build or other work for their home really appreciate your work skills and ability as that is something that’s fading out of a lot of cultures, highly skilled workers like you.
