Keith, I think you did a fine job on closing up that window.
Thank you!
Ignore the trolls mate unfortunately some people find it easier to knock people than encourage. I think you did a great job with the tools and knowledge you had.
@@alfamad155 I love your thoughts, same here.
"Dogs barking, caravan moving."
...
Keith, you did a great job.
I have a humble 33 years of experience in allround carpentry and building, and only way to perfectly fix your window is to plastering whole wall, which is, in your case, completely unnecessary.
So, once again, great job 👍💪
@@alfamad155 thanks buddy!
@@keefykeef I can't believe that people would give you grief about doing jobs to your own house! You could wait 6 months for a builder to do it for you who would only work half days and charge you an exorbitant fee.😆
i don't honestly know how anyone could post a negative comment Keith. You are so friendly, honest, and awesome. I've enjoyed every one of your videos.
Thank you!
I can't for the life of me undestand why someone would leave nasty comments and critique of your window filling/bloking video. I certanly feel you did good job. I think some people just don't get anyting done and leave trollis commets to feel better about them selfs.
I dunno, all the cruel comments came from Facebook, to be honest people on CZcams are so so much nicer, I'm not sure why. I have a theory that all the Facebook commenters are professional plasterers or tradies who think that I'm trying to "take their job" or something, that's the kind of angriness that they are projecting 🤔
Those comments were horrible. I was very wowed by the results you got.
Ignore the nasty trolls.
I read a few and noticed it was all critique without suggestions/guidance on how to do it better.
@@RagnBoneBrownFacebook is a cesspool of tw@s. The only thing I slightly miss about it is marketplace - and maybe the Mafell group. As a forum more generally, it seems to bring out the absolute worst.
You're right though. Probably is all tradies. Wonder where all these quality masters of their craft are when folk need one?
Thanks for all the updates. Ignore the haters - they've probably never even tried to do something themselves.
If you hadn't told me there used to be a window in that wall I would have never noticed, you did an excellent job blending it in.
Good on you for not giving heed to the knuckleheads. Remember that there’s no law against stupid. You are appreciated.
I can’t put my finger on what it is I like about his channel but it’s great. Please keep up the good work! 👍 👍
I think Keith isn't boring & has a little charisma & his work is always top notch.
I hope you're able to ignore all the dumb hate Keith. As someone who does some DIY house work I appreciate your guts to tackle all these jobs and doing a great job at them. Keep up the good work.
9:06 I wouldn't be at all surprised if some of the people who left those comments trying to bring you down were projecting their own inadequacies. I thought you did a solid job on that video as well as sorting out the other issues that you were having, if there's one thing I've taken away from your videos its not rushing to find a professional to fix something that I could have a relatively good go at doing myself and be successful.
👍👍👍 It's hard to believe 5 years have passed since you moved into the property. Thanks Keith
Some people have sad lives you did a great job on the window
Keith’s Friday videos are so relaxing on a Friday evening. Top man 👍
there were plenty of critics in the comments keith but as far as i'm concerned, you did it all yourself and top marks to you for a fine job mate.
Admittedly I am just an illustrator with all knowledge on woodworking, tools etc coming from your channel over the years - but the wall looks great! It does what it needed to and I doubt any one who commented would even notice had there not been a video showing it!!:D
Nice to get an update on each of your recent projects. Thanks for sharing.
Love the small bucking stand. Electric chainsaw inside the garage is super nice on a day you don’t wanna go out.
Great repairs and property improvements. Lots of added value to your house I’d say.
Some people just look to be miserable sods. The window wouldn't be noticed by anyone who wasn't told about it. Looks fab. And if someone is annoyed at the quality of the jobs you do, I'd wander why they continue watching the rest of the channels content. Ignore them. The blocked drains on the road was a good find and fix 👌
Hi Keith, good work on your drainage, and removing the window and block work, don't listen to the haters, looks good from here. As always a great video take care
So kind of you to clean out the street drains for your neighbors. I’ve seen lots of comments in other UK videos about their “councils” and how it was easier to do something without going to them.
And I imagine most of the MDF comments are from the U.S. The MDF products you have in the UK/Europe put the U.S. to shame. I don’t know anything I would use it for here, and never anything outside. But I would dance in a circle to be able to walk into a store here and buy some valchromat!
Probably because the selection of lumber and plywood in the US puts the UK to shame 10x over. We might have MDF but you need a mortgage to buy any 'real' wood
@@joegoodsell ahhh! I get it; did not know that. 🤔😉
@@joegoodsellWatching Sedge make workshop cabinets using 18 mm birch ply nearly made me cry.
For blending in … at my skill level the alternative to a visible “shadow” is to refinish the whole wall. So good enough is good enough.
The comment-wall at 9:06 makes the render-wal totally worthwhile :)
Great fun seeing updates and fixes on previous work you done 👍
Hahaha, yes, leave it to cats to show you your mistakes 😂
Another fantastic video. I love keiths down to earth and humble style. Im genuinely pretty gutted to hear about the nastiness and negativity that keith receives, as anyone with any kind of sense can see that he doesn't deserve it. Thanks for sharing the things that didn't work out Keith. They're not mistakes, they're learning opportunities! On behalf of your genuine followers, keep up the great work. Your efforts are appreciated!
Just discovered the channel, binged all the videos, and this is the cherry on top!
Thanks for another great video. Glad Hazel didn't get into trouble after her jail break. Happy Anniversary and thanks for showing us all the fruits of your labors!
Hi Keith
I am a civil engineer and the 'bit of a bodge land drain' land drain that you installed at 4:40 is all good in my eyes. Its a bit of a diy solution but it would work sufficiently well as a combination retention and infiltration system. I would not regret not wrapping the system in a geotextile filter cloth, generally they do not extend the life of such a system by much over the expected 15-20 year life you should get out of such a design. I would however see if you could add some sort of easy to clean filter trap to the downpipe to catch all the stones off of the flat roof. Overall I would give it a score of 8/10, great job for someone who doesnt design drainage for a living.
Can't get over some people!!! Personally, I think you did a great job. I loved all your drainage videos - as I have to do a similar job on the shed at my parents home. I had no idea how to go about fixing it till I saw your fantastic work. Keep it up, you are a fantastic inspiration to all DIYers.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the updates on all those projects Keith, it's really helpful to revisit these and assess what worked and what was less successful. Glad that you managed to manage your drainage and damp issues,.Those road drains were shocking, there are some like that near us and they cause similar problems for the properties on the main road, and it's a nightmare for pedestrians as they get soaked by the passing traffic. Glad you liked the mesh clips and they worked well for you !
I wish all comments could be made in a positive manner, yourself (and many other channels I watch) make it abundantly clear that you've researched and made your best effort, but that you're not an expert in everything and so invite comment, at best this leads to a lot of really useful advice/debate on best practice or just shared personal experience, there's no reason for anyone to rubbish your content, so don't take it personally !
Keep up the good work - on a Saturday morning my wife says "Is it time to see what Keef from Norwich is up to ?" 😉
Thank you for this useful follow-up video, which catalogues the results of your previous efforts - something that's lacking in many similar presenters' videos. Even hearing about minor errors teaches us all to avoid these through careful planning and
I love the range of projects you've taken on. Keep up the good work!
I'm quite sure that all of the people who criticized your work are top skilled tradesmen and know hard physical work 😂
The window work is not perfect but it does the job and it can be seen only if someone is looking for it. I personally think you did very well and you did your best. That is what I always respect in people and that is the reason why I love your channel. I also learned a lot from you.
Thank you, Keith ❤
I wish you a wonderful day and greetings from Croatia 😊
Proving the haters wrong by trowing a soccer ball at it 😂 Awesome Keith 😂🙏🏻
Thanks Keith. Take care & stay safe.
Awesome work Mate. Great content always. Billy J..... Queensland, Australia.
Thanks for the updates. I personally think that you did a great job of that window.
your channel has helped me with some DIY projects for my first house and even those videos I haven’t tried i still enjoy watching. I dont understand peoples gain from slandering you for jobs they probably couldn’t do themself and hope you keep doing this
Love your videos. The only problem I have now is that when I do any DIY myself I start narrating it Keith Brown style in my head! Especially the bit where you go "...and that's when I realised I made my first mistake..."
🤣🤣🤣
goes without saying - most people on CZcams will criticise without really ever having done what they are criticising. I've been watching your stuff for years and your great - you've inspired me which (I'm thinking) is one of the reasons you started doing this in the first place
Keith, thank you for all the inspiration throughout the years, the realisation/ reminders that sometimes with a bit of thiught things can be done allbeit unconventianally. In as long as the job is "safe" where it matters, in the end, the end results is all that matters. That said, your DIY work (and video production level) is noticibally getting better and better. I have followed many youtubers some already established and some that started from sctratch like you. In a way I emulate you lot by DIYing whatever I can because it makes me happy, that said I have to admit that I am (affectionately and respectfully) jelous as some to whch I considered myself equal to, per skill have improved (skill level, and projects tackled) way beyond what I ever could do myself, you are definately one heading that direction or already there....... Kudos Keith
The road drainage issue: I did mention in the comments for that excellent video that the Road Authority (probably, but not necessarily the local council) has a Duty to control surface water on the public highway, and to prevent it entering onto adjacent land. Your new drive is a big improvement, but I wonder if simply addressing the root cause of the water ingress might have either avoided, or reduced, the effort of doing that work.
Same applies to any land that has been 'improved' i.e. altered in any way - level altered, hard surfacing etc. Any surface water then cannot run off into a neighbouring property.
Thought I was going to have to use this when a neighbour had a fence-to-fence terrace with no drainage done but the cowboys used did such a poor job with the pointing that so far it's not been an issue.
Loved the updates on past projects, thanks for em
Great to get the updates.
Crikey. 5 years in new home already, and ive been watching you several years before that... I've been ardent supporter of your chanel and enjoy your work. As its high quality. Twhat you dont already know, you investigate.... same as i used to do when i was more able. Before both our grey hairs !!
I appreciate that
Really appreciate the update videos Keith. Overall success, I think!😊
Nice recap !!! Glad to see all your projects have held up over time 👍🏽👍🏽
really nice to see updates, good idea
Brilliant updates 👌 its good to see how projects are getting on.
As the Americans would say; You the man! Great Channel Keith.
I love seeing update videos, Hope you're all keeping well!
I love these video of you taking care of your house. Makes me look forward to the day I will hopefully have my own place and make it neat.
F the haters, your infilled window looks great
How about a dust funnel under the log holder and connected to your shop vac? That would surely take care of some of the saw dust while cutting
Great update video.
Love these update videos. Future improvements based on experience are great to see and they help the rest of us. Many thanks.
Glad you like them!
Excellent video today, enjoy seeing follow up.
You have got to be kidding me? I thought the window job was one of your finest projects! At the time it was a new pinnacle of accomplishment for you. It was a great combination of rough, dirty work combined with fiddly detail work and then blending the new surface with the old for a very nice result. I guess time has proven you right on your approach to that job.
Wow, thank you!
You should be proud of your work. Watched you for quite a while and enjoying your progress
Ignore the critics Kieth. You do a great job and your willingness to come on here and talk about your mistakes, successes, things you’d do differently is admirable. I couldn’t agree more with your attitude on trades, I’d always rather tackle a job myself if I feel capable. Your videos make that easier for us all. ❤
Great video , thank you for sharing , loving the channel
Thanks for watching!
I love your videos and you do a great job, you also helped me understand what may cause our damp issue in our kitchen and drainage issues we have. Don't worry about the nasty comments
Great update - thanks!
Thanks Dan
It's looking great there, Keith! 😃
But yeah, there are trolls everywhere. 😕
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Nice job glad it worked and bet your neighbours gardens were not as flooded as you unblocked the road drains? Good neighbours make a good community 👍
You asking the local council to do something Keith? 🤣 You’d have better luck finding a straight piece of wood at B&Q.
It's a bodge 😂😂
That patched up window looks bob on mate, well done
Loving the channel buddy, recently just came across you when I needed some project ideas! I can see you’re from the Norwich area, I have a tree company in Newmarket so if I get some decent bits of wood I’ll let you to see if you wanted it. It usually goes as firewood anyway so it’s nice to see it being used for something 🙂
Great to see all the updates, thanks for sharing Keith. The troll comments were completely unjustified, you did a great job and showed that it’s relatively DIY-able. If you wanted it perfect it would have cost a lot more and that’s a choice everyone can make
Nice one Keith
6:01 the look on mickey's face 😂
Keith l can’t think why people leave nasty comments about your work you always say if you have done anything like this and you get advice we all have to learn what every age you are so you keep your videos coming l for one thing you always do your best 😊👍👏👏 l am a joiner by trade but I tell you I don’t know everything and I am 61 and still learning 😊
An screw the critics Keith, it’s your home. If you’re happy with how your house looks then everyone else can take a run and jump. I also think you’ve done a good job on all these little jobs.
excellent update Keith, and love your work. All I would say is i'd make the wood chainsaw bench a bit taller as bending over like that is bad for your back...i made mine at standing height and between you and me it's one of the best things I've made, perhaps I should have made it a folding one BUT it really does the job for me and my chainsaw.
Enjoying your video's every week Keith. Only 3 chanels I look forward to all week and yours is first on the list. Dont mention the nasty comments anymore, they dont matter, you are an insperation to us all!! Greetings from Holland!
Thanks for that
Regarding the negative comments, i think The Man in the Arena section of Teddy Roosevelt's Citizenship in a Republic applies
Keith like you today I decided I’m not putting up with trades letting me down time after time so I’m going it alone ignore the naysayers if it works and you have put care in so what if it’s not inch perfect the bloody trades never perfect either so we’ll done you’ve helped so many folk over the years with these videos.
the outdoor MDF is quite impressive stuff that gate still looks as good as new 6:47 And I thought you did a reasonable job getting the hole where the window was filled as Notvery noticeable
Thank you!
Those comments are pretty harsh considering you did a great job as when you said a window use to be here i didnt notice any seems or imperfections.. 👌🏻❄️
Looking smart keith 👌 and that window job looks great. Dont listen to the facebook keyboard warriors.
I have a theory that people who complain so much about diy jobs only do so because they didn't get paid to do it and it has nothing to do with the amazing job you did. If you think about it a lot of those types of jobs require a year minimum of being a grunt worker where they do the jobs the experienced people don't want to do. And seeing the awesome job you did the first time made them incredibly jealous. Happy anniversary!
If I were a cat I’d love living at your house!
Mickey is a great promoter of your sponsor!
Thanks for updates and why are people so nasty? I just caught a glimpse of some comments - they must be super experts in their field but with no manners! Glad you managed to cut off the escape route from the catio!
ignore the muppets who think they know better.....you give us some good ideas and we can pick and choose what we want to use or ignore...as you should them!
You do a better job and doing things yourself is cheaper. Some tradies are shocking they charge you an arm and a leg even then the job that do isn’t that crash hot. Some of them won’t even come out if the job isn’t big enough. Wish I had someone like you at home at least things would get fixed around the house Kudo’s to you.
Odd what people get bent out of shape about isn't it! That window in-fill job is decent. The only way you'd have gotten an even better finish was to re-render the whole wall, which just wasn't necessary.
lmao the people getting mad at your wall
Agree with comments below. Ignore the neigh Sayers. You have just proved the projects are holding up. And again from the comments below. How many of them have had similar problems and have actually 'Fixed' them.
What no half lap for your log jig? You call yourself a Diyer? Haha reading some of those comments was hilarious. All the bloody experts stuck in their ways love to jump on board with the hate. Your gate looks awesome.
You, sir, are one creative individual. I say that only because you like cats.🐱 😊
What window?
Great update
Now we need a second channel about drain cleaning xD
🤣👍
Nice
Regarding your window, I suspect that if you were showing me about your bungalow and all your various projects like you did in this video, the only way I would have noticed where the window was would be if you pointed it out. I don’t think there are many DIYers who do each project perfectly, and I think your projects are less bodgey than most.
Hi Ashley here I like your videos good video showing how long your project Last and how drains works and keeping tem clean but I no summer is here and that means gardening I notice you did video on your mawaki tools but you did not review your mawaki garden tools so if you don't fink off a video to do 1 week you sud do a review on mawaki garden tools like law and other stuff and maby some gardening all project to do with garden but wod be interesting and mawaki garden tools but just idea as .
I thought you did a great job on all those projects Keith, and i couldn't give a Monkeys Nuts what some people thought was a rubbish job on that small window opening fix, i would love to see some of these people do the exact same thing and see how hard a job it is to do. It's a pity you couldn't set up the top 5 worst comments about it to you, and see how they would do the same job (as long as they were not doing that same thing week in week out as a living) Take Care.
Barry (the Wirral)
Those ‘professionals’ are the ones who come around for a quote and can’t stop saying how bad the previous person did. Surely someone must have done a good job at some point? If I encounter any like this now I tell them “you don’t remember mate, it was you who did it years ago, that’s why I called you”😂
🤣
Jesus some of the comments you got were a disgrace. People with nothing better to do. Fair play for ignoring them and carrying on. Thank you
Good job Keith, quick question. Wouldn't the artificial grass be too warm for the cats?
No they love laying on it in the sun
It’s always amusing when you get a load of ‘professionals’ who think they’re Michelangelo just because they’ve learned how to throw some render or gravel on a wall. I suspect their anger isn’t because someone is taking work off them, it’s because they desperately need to believe that their special skill isn’t somethjng a DIYer with the wrong trowel and no experience can do just as well.
I suppose the blessing is that this is only the small percentage of them that know how to use a computer.
