  1. Thank you all guys! I really appreciate the love and compliments from you! Since a lot of you referenced on the negative comments: Actually it was not the biggest thing for me. I think Dave discribes there more the variaty of opinions and critics in general which you have to deal with as a YT video maker. You can read more about the main reasons why i gonna quit in the YT community post. Again, thank you all, was a pleasure to make these videos for you. Enjoy the rest of my work!

  2. Hi I teach English in Mexico. A ladder is what you had been using before your neighbor lent you the scaffolding. Stairs and Ladder are often confused as are borrow and lend. I hope you find this comment helpful, it's not intended to be any other way.

  3. If you are going to work with dstroying cement and other structural materials you need a better mask. The dust that comes off those is very hazardous for your health.

    edit: Shame the videomaker stopped. He was making some serious progress adjusting and learning and I felt that the last two were excellent quality.
    edit: the more I watch the more I think you guys need a building specialist in your group. You are working unsafe for both your health and your structure. Someone is getting hurt either directly or on the long run.

  4. this "rigging" is brilliant…brilliantly useless! with that amount of slack it doesn't secure anything. But then this wall is so unstable that a little bit of tension would topple it anyway. And there you got your answer, you try to put band aides on a wall which is not worth saving.

    Did you ever consult with an architect, structural engineer or anybody with any building experience? you are worried about a drip edge on your window frames, but are OK with all the structural problems of this "building".

    That steel structure is a nice touch but if you can just lift it in, it doesn't really take any load and when you remove the brick wall you create an overhang which might not be able to support the wall above…

  5. I was surprised to see you were not wearing a mask whilst using the angel grinder cutting the bricks around the window. Health and safety is important and you really don't want that kind of dust in your lungs. Remember some of your viewers may copy you, so make Health and Safety a feature please. 🙂
