    Tip for seats. Use a garment steamer on the foam after you take the old cover off. Will puff the foam out to like new. Also plastic or silicone splay on the foam before you wrap the seat will help the fabric slide as you pull it. Love the videos, keep up the great work!!

    I.. freaking.. love.. your videos! The little details that you add here and there that you obviously would have had to do some research on is just one of the many things you do in your videos that you just don't see much of on UA-cam. Also love the little jokes and wise cracks slid into your videos. I truly consider this premium content and quality video making that leaves you with a tangible feeling you've gained something from watching.
    Keep up the good work :)

      @morstyrannis1951 4 роки тому +7

      @Badger0fDeath I realize that, but I was referring to something specifically Canadian. In Canada there's a law for broadcasters about Canadian content. I think it primarily applies to radio stations. They had to have a certain % of air time that was Canadian artists.
      It sounds Orwellian, but we're living next door to a cultural Goliath. It was an attempt to preserve Canadian artists.
      The program was quite successful; there are more Canadian musicians and bands than our comparative population would indicate we should have.
      Then of course there's the matter of US spelling which is quite different than the Queen's English. Some software is kind of cheeky offering dictionary choices of, "English or Simplified English (US)"
