I can confirm it was great!

I hope so too!

Thanks 😊

Glad it helped :)

Thank you

Very handy for a quick fill. Saves waiting for filler to dry

We get a lovely 3 days of summer every year!

Thanks 🙌🏼 it’s around 1 meter tall

It really makes the bench pop doesn’t it! 😁

They’re safety sliders 😅

Thanks 😁

Thanks 🙂🙂🙂

Thank you 😊

Thank you 😊

The IBC has a drain valve built in. After this video I added a hose pipe adapter to it, to enable filling and draining through a hose pipe

I hope she does 😁

Thank you. I had to make it special for her 😊

Thanks Auntie Danielle 😊

I hope so! 😍

It’s just showing what I paid rather than a guide.

I’ve heard a lot of people (including lime suppliers) say that the sodium in bleach reacts with the lime in lime mortar causing damage. Cement mortar would be fine though.

@@Renovation-Dan I've heard that you can get salting when used on lime mortar, I think this is more cosmetic than affecting anything structural. But most mortar nowadays is just made with sand and cement and doesn't contain lime.

@@caparn100 a lot of the stuff I’ve seen doesn’t really specify the damage, so it may just be cosmetic. The mortar on our house is mostly original lime mortar, other than the various patches that have been repointed over the years with sand and cement. The patio always gets cleaned with sodium hypo bleach and it works a treat!

@@Renovation-Dan For my patio, a couple of times a year I use a bucket of water with about 1/4 of a bottle of bleach and just brush it over and leave it to dry. It does a good job , and every couple of years I jet wash it. It's quite dilute so doubt you will get much salting, you could try it on an inconspicuous part of your house and see how it goes, maybe make a video of it. I found that jet washing does the most damage particularly if you have the pavers that are concrete with a coating to make the look like sandstone. The jet wash wears away the surface and exposes the concrete paver if used too much.

@@caparn100 there’s a video on the channel cleaning our patio, it’s sandstone so pretty tough but I know a lot of people make a right mess trying to jet wash stuff. I’ve seen a few decks people have tried to jet wash and made them look 10 times worse!

Yes it shouldn’t be a problem

I’m not sure what you want me to do with that comment… It’s a bit late to take send it back and swap it now 😂

@@Renovation-Dan I’m fairly certain I’m not the only person who reads comments on videos like this, I might save someone some cash if they decide to go down the vinegar route. There’s plenty of other uses for it aswell…

@@cjsutcliffe I would say I’d stick to just putting it on fish and chips but I don’t even like it 🤣

I didn’t until a couple of years ago. I wasn’t sure how well the paint would hold up, but the windows have been done for about 3 years without any issues.

The difference is amazing. New Grey PVC is so expensive and this makes your white doors and windows like new again. Great job and thanks for sharing the info 👍

Thank you. When I initially painted the unpainted door I keyed it up with a scotch pad to get into all of the tight areas. I think I also used some sandpaper too. It doesn’t want to be too scuffed or it will show through the paint. 400 grit or above sandpaper would be fine.

Thanks 😊

The water stays cold a lot of the year here in the uk. If it gets too warm I use ice packs to cool it (frozen water bottles that can get frozen again for reuse). I did look into chiller systems but they seem to be very expensive!

£1600 per bottle, 280 bottles from the barrel. The barrel cost me £40… £448,040 had less of a ring to it.

It looks a bit like cedar but it’s really dense and hard. I still have no idea what it is but I’m leaning towards an Asian hardwood but I have no firm idea!

Cheers gaffa, top design

I’ll get straight on with that now, sorry for my disappointing life choices, I’ll try not to let you down in future 🥲

@@Renovation-Dan excellent 👌🏻

They could at least have left me a bit in the bottom 😅

Love it, wouldn’t mind a wee dram from that barrel !! Really like the glass top, a fab job. 😊

Thank you 😊

We use non bio pods, so would have had to have bought bio. Maybe next year I’ll do a comparison of all the suggested options in the comments

Thank you 😊

I’d say the killrock solution was quite a bit better than the vinegar.

Thank you, good luck with your build 😃

Unsure if that’s a serious comment or not but there’s no way I’m rendering over original Victorian brickwork, that would be sacrilege!

Thanks 😊

Thanks 😊

Whichever you’d be more impressed by 🤣. It’s a dimmable fitting

Good answer 😂😂 nice touch! They look really smart 👌🏼

Thanks mate 😄

Thank you 😊
