I just realised that having Alex there gives Billy a buddy. Always feel like its so lonely for Billy behind the camera filming then editing when this is his project. Love seeing him in front of the camera working which he clearly enjoys 😊 But it's also the constant chatter with Alex, Billys thought process and explanations that I really enjoy. Well done everyone another productive day 👏👏

He mentioned in an earlier video that he was going to cover the windows on the inside to protect them from the sandblasting. At the same time workers were cutting up the wall panels being removed in the hallway. Why couldn't those panels have been used to cover the windows before being cut up?

Have you considered having the library doors open against the sidewalls of the mini void/passageway instead of into the middle of the library? This could be accomplished by flipping the doors around in their current position so they open out toward the dining room, or having them open into the library from the dining room wall.
