    A great update. Despite Chris always demonstrating his phenomenal technical skills and all of us giving him hundreds of compliments all the time, let’s all put our hands together for Rob’s extraordinary gift of being able to find a regular supply of “sows ears” for Chris to do his magic on, creating endless numbers of “silk purses” hence jointly creating the profit that SRUK clearly makes. I really admire these two men. 👏

    Chris is a one man civil engineering project. If he’d have been in charge of building HS2 it would already be finished ! 🤣😂🤣😂

    I've been watching SRUK for a couple of years now, give or take. This was my favourite video - by far. Having witnessed Chris's mechanical genius from afar via UA-cam, and the way he is such a gentleman with it, he deserves all good things which come his way. The current and on-going changes are part of that. Love the pair of these lads and hopefully SRUK - and this UA-cam account - can go from strength to strength with all this progression.

    Lovely to see how far Chris has come in terms of being in front of the camera. Who knew the shy man was an absolute genius in everything he does.Robs none too shabby either you can tell everything has to be done properly. Quite the dream team. Keep it up fellas , this is one awesome channel. 🎉🎉🎉

    Lots of impatient people not realising how hard it is to update the facilities while still turning over cars and videos to keep the business going. Great work as always guys, definitely one of the best channels on YT.

    @grahamflemington5085 Рік тому +5

  • @SuperFredc
    @SuperFredc Рік тому +3

    Wonderful material and an impressive update, guys. I couldn't help but notice a minor matter, which I assume you're already addressing. Given that this is a functional space where the potential for falls from elevated surfaces, be it an excavation or a low parapet, exists, it's important to implement preventive measures. Installing fall protection mechanisms like guardrails or sturdy barriers to restrict access to such areas would be a prudent step to ensure safety and protect yourselves from the stupid. Please nobody jump on me I am not the safety police gone mad, just a suggestion.

    Rob you said that some people may not bother with this because it's not a car video. You and Chris have devoloped much more than just a car channel it's a people channel and a lot of the followers are here to see the interaction between you two not just the spannering. Impressive work once again and a great but somewhat fluid plan for the future. Well done.

    There's a spray foam to insulate that. We recently made a shop/cafe out of 2 40 footers. Then lined with aluminium bubble wrap and ply on a frame. Works really well. Left uninsulated, it will sweat.

    I know I threw in a silly comment but massive respect for this piece of civil engineering. May be a daft idea but a couple of solar panels on the roof could be great for keeping the batteries in the vehicles maintained. Bigger panels above the roof would also keep the sunlight off it a bit.

    Your channel has to be one of the most interesting and entertaining channels out there its always a pleasure to watch the videos and see what you two are up to.
    I have told you fellas once before that its a absolute delight to know that there are a couple of ordinary guys who takes so much pride in the work they do.
    As for that leg end Chris, well not only is he one of the best body men I have ever seen but his skill levells at almost anything he does is truly amazing and a pleasure to behold.
    My boss when I was an apprentice plumber always instilled in me that it don`t matter whether the pipework gets boxed in and never seen again, it must be bang on level or plumb.
    This dogma has served me well over the years but alas I have had to give up the job I love due to ill health.
    Anyway guys I`m at a loose end now so if you need a brewer up on a part time basis, I`m your man.
    Keep up the stirling work you guys make me proud to be British.

    Chris is a thinker, I am not saying you're not Rob but he has really thought it all through. I agree you need the right environment to bring someone into then there is more chance that they will stay. I am so glad that Chris's projects will be getting some attention once these upgrades are complete. Yes I would line the roof and sides if possible but bear in mind of course that lining the sides will slightly reduce the width so find something which is thin but does the job. You and we can now see the end of this upgrade is in sight. Thank you Rob and Chris for this update. 👍👍

    Hi Rob and Chris,
    I have been watching the channel from the very start, Chris has gone from a camera-shy Meister/Craftsman to a first-class reporter in front of the camera. I feel the overall theme of you channel is not only the cars but everything about what makes the job you and Chris do possible. I am in Germany, and I have a few my mates here infected with your program. And they never miss a show.
    Keep up the good work a I/we look forward to your 300,000 subscribers it not far away now!
    All the best Peter. Radevormwald Germany.

    great variation from the cars etc,one day how about a 5 minute story on how you both got together,just an idea, for those of us who only started watching in the last couple of years,think it would interest lots of viewers.

    What would the possibility be of some before and after pictures of this area..so we can get the full picture of just how much work has been done in that area?

    Got to say Chris is doing a fantastic job with the yard and love his attention to detail and ensuring it will last for years to come.
    Spray booth is going to streamline your process no end and from watching all your videos painting the vehicles is always your bottleneck so it's so logical to get it onsite.
    Rob you'll have get Chris do you a little detailing bay for cleaning the vehicles 😂

    Best of luck, Chris and Rob, I like the 'fluid plan' and hope that you go from strength to strength. Keen to see how this develops, definitely looking forward to seeing the paint shop open!
