      I have a dude in my office job who took sick leave for 3 weeks because he had knee surgery and couldn't walk, even though we only have one office day per week and it's not mandatory. Could have easily just worked from home those three weeks.
      And then there's Andrew doing some welding and excavating with a broken foot, lol

      Like with all his videos (not criticism, they are good the way he does them) they are filmed over a long period of time. I'm pretty sure his foot has already been healed for quite a while. Was probably early summer or something that he broke it (just guessing).

    Andrew, I'm an x-ray tech so listen. If the fracture is at the bottom of the 5th metatarsal then there is an increased chance the blood supply can be cut off which creates its own problems. Be sure to follow your doctor's advice because of the reason mentioned. Still, I love your "can do" attitude! You're an inspiration!!!!

    At the end of the video, when your drone was flying high and pulling back, one can see a series of large lakes off in the distance and to the left of the middle on some of the hills out there. I think that it's an awkward place to see lakes of that size and grouping on the side of that hill, but I could be wrong. The question I have is "are they natural lakes or dug and manicured by some humans"? You have shown us some very interesting landmarks in the past with rocks and water and hills. This type of ending is one of your video trademarks, and it adds so much of a peaceful conclusion to them that it is nice to see it coming rather than the abrupt ending that so many other people have on their videos. This is one reason that you get so many compliments on the camera work you do.

      You know Lionel, I kind of like the way Andrew sees an opportunity and capitalises on it. I'm guessing he sees potential in something, (a tool, a part, a bucket, or a location etc) and develops a concept that works for him, does the mental logistics on it, weighs up the cost/benefit (is it worth it) and then goes for it.
      There is nothing wrong with that. In fact, it is probably the most efficient way to do things; no plans to draw up, and redraw and follow....
      Well done Andrew (and helpers).

If I have very specific plans, they change anyway. I do a lot of decks for family and friends and I have it in my head. Lumber list, everything. Eventually I will write the number and size of the lumber needed as well as concrete etc. then I mark it out and build it. Since I get very great responses to the product I build, I guess people that know me have come to trust me. I take their tastes and styles, budgets get expanded because it’s a hobby for me. I cover my costs plus about 10%. I don’t do any work for strangers or people that do not know me well. I only book one job at a time so my plans don’t get messed up!😂😂. They are floating free form up there!! Heh heh.

      I broke my right leg, ankle, and foot in several places many years ago, and once I got out of the hospital, just 3 weeks later was driving my cars again. First few times it's a little sketchy, but you quickly get the hang of it. Using your left foot to brake takes some getting used to. Even after my foot was considered "healed", I continued using my left foot to brake for a while, until I built up strength in my right foot and got the muscles in my right leg back up to par.
