The depth of knowledge this individual possesses is the reason this renovation was only around €100,000. He isn’t a ‘handyman’; he is a master craftsmen.
P.S. The music choices were great.

I'm a qualified architectural technologist (now retired) with years of experience on big construction projects and i can see the quality of your work which looks excellent. I'm even more impressed by your evident tidyness during the progress of the works and in all those hidden places in floor voids etc. I reject any builder that treats my hidden voids as dustbins! Brilliant 👍

I have a huge amount of respect (and jealousy) for people who can do something like this. Amazing.

This is what we actually call a couple. Understanding each other and working together beautifully. Such a hard work. Amazing and very impressive.

I think you do yourself an injustice calling yourself a "handyman" your more like a construction superhero 😂. Looks absolutely mint 👌

I loved the help that the kitten was providing when the door was being painted!

I am 72 year old woman and I am exhausted watching you. LOL. Loved every minute. If only more people (including myself) and youngsters had skills like you. I'm sure we'd never be out of work. Fantastic quality work. Wonderful. I am moving onto the garden renovation, which is much more in my capabilities and talents. Thank you again.

I started watching renovation videos because they were so inspiring. I could only dream of owning a home and making it my own.
Now, after several of these, I watch thinking- thank god I rent. If I bought a house and realised the drainage systems didn't work I'd have to just resign myself to live like that permanently. I'm impressed with myself if I paint a wall with one patchy coat.
This amount of work and the skill involved is so impressive.

I must share a quote here. In the Immortal words of Ron Weasley ... "That was Bloody Brilliant !!"

@dondavardio8298 2 years ago

To see a skilled,true and honest builder at work gave me so much joy. The care and attention to detail is astonishing, I'm presuming your wife was assisting, what a team you two are. You reminded me of my brother,thanks for talking the time to film this video and sharing it with all of us around the world, warm regards .

@davidbramley7742 2 years ago

Your attention to detail and build quality exceeds so many of the projects you see online - very, very commendable.

@irenemcgrath7739 2 years ago

You sir could never ever be described as a ‘handyman’. One can only sit back and admire you and your lady for the effort and workmanship you put into that tired house! It’s so beautiful and you two thoroughly deserve to spend the happiest days in your stunning home. 🙌 ❤👏👏👏
