Oh Billy, you have my heartfelt understanding about bridezillas. I’ve been decorating wedding and other events for twelve years, and I’m about done. I don’t know what’s worse, bride/momzillas or fund raisers with too many chiefs and non of them paying the bill. The room is coming along nicely! Excellent work gentleman!

I bought my tool belt at a car boot sale for £0•50. They wanted a £1 but the stitching was coming undone so I cheekily negotiated.... knowing that I had a curved sewing needle and fine fishing line with which to repair it at home. 😂😂😂 I use it for gardening all the time - I look like Builder Barbie.😜🤪😅 Saves losing tools in amongst the triffids.

Yanis, what a guy. It's amazing how quickly he's picked up his trade skills. If you go back to the first posts when Simon first came on board, he had to talk him through every step. Now, he is telling Simon what he needs. Testament to Simon's skills in passing on his skills. And all this with a language barrier. Just shows that if you have the correct temperament, anything can be achieved. ❤

I remember in the early 70s working at the former home of Clark Gable in California and seeing the drywall crew bending sheet rock for the curving stairway walls. They would lay the sheet ( 4 ft x 8 ft) over a 55 gal barrell lieing on side on ground, and gently mist with a garden hose until both 4 ft ends touched the ground. While still damp, carry into house and install. Then it would dry in place making a beautiful curve.

The simplicity of having a round folding table is Genius and possibly discovered by someone who used to have to “ carry in and out” the triangular rectangular tables from the storage to the place where they were gonna be used too many times ! (( as the round tables can be easily moved around by rolling them on their edge, and almost anyone can help to bring them into place where 21:59 they there are to go. A simple matter, but as you see in the video, very crucial to saving your back / time and effort !!
