This is a really special channel and special project. I wish you would upload more often.
Me too. Have said this from day one
It's my favorite channel.
@@lilbitofjoy6130thank you
@@mykuntstynx9463appreciate that! You need a badge for that
Yep, YT promotes more based on channel uploads and activity.
As a neighbor, you are putting our little town of Santa Fe on the world map. Maybe the town of Santa Fe should donate to your cause!!!
Yeah I love Lorenzo’s!
Have a bbq & invite interested locals to come help on a nice day. What a video that would be!
@@Dawctor I've risked my life running across highway 6 too many times for my cheese pizza lol
Do a gi fund me with the tourist board
I thought it was in NM.
Dude, you are the solution! Post, post, post, and they will come. As I read through the comments, the viewers love you and your wife! Instead of focusing on car shows, invite viewers to a DIY weekend. Provide camping spots, and they will come!
Great idea.
If he builds it, they will come!.
This this this
Thank you mate
Just like Brett, ghost town living
money ideas: 1) merch, 2) find a tea wholesaler and sell some castle teas, 3) one video each 2 weeks (I could watch so much more of this even if it isnt exciting), 4) build a sponsor wall somewhere that adds donors names to the 'history'
Love all those ideas. Thank you
@@MoneyPitCastle might check out Metropolitan Tea Company - they provide some delicious teas and support
I like that idea. We have bought bricks at places we support with same concept.
I was going to say you could sell bricks from the house (or something else)
@@MoneyPitCastle You can even do daily weekdays short videos like The Pethericks and Danny from escape to rural france.
I follow lots of restoration channel but none are quite like this. That's how youll pay for this.
But you need to stop going so long between uploading. You might not have any construction experience but your personalities bounce off each other so so well... the strange English man and the bossy American wife buying a castle in Texas.
Tell the story. We will watch until the end.
Agree. That "Escape to Rural France" guy does a short 10 minute video update every single day Monday to Friday. He's now got 500k subscribers so will be raking it in. We'd all watch updates here. Things they probably think would bore us. Cutting the grass. The contractors turning up. Demolition. Painting the gates. Anything. But all those views will bring in much needed $$$$$ (and sponsorship).
@TheGramophoneGirl he doesn't do so often at times. I agree though that regular uploads should be done...need to create a regular audience.❤ Put atleast weekly on air.
@@jeanwoodhouse8899 A weekly update would work - even if they think it's mundane content it will still be interesting to most of us. And above all, they'll be earning views and $$$$ for each video.
He had a visit from Brent fromGhost Town Living which is how I got here. Post more please!
The algorithms say: post more often! More frequent posts= more views, more, likes, more comments...all of these lead to UA-cam showing folks who follow similar channels, your channel!
Have a cup of tea, and post more often my friend.
I live in Santa Fe I see the castle every day it’s amazing to see someone finally do something with it ❤️
Thanks alot Darren. Always nice to hear from a neighbor on here
If you have not already, make a separate business account for sponsorships to contact you and post in the descriptions & channel pages. You get good views and sponsors will start reaching out. You can also reach out to sponsors.
I watched all your videos today and im excited for the next one. Much love to y'all from Dallas ❤
-Megan
Much thanks. I've worked out a way to get videos out every week or two now so that should make a big difference. Harbor Freights actually replied which I was surprised about 😅
I like the way you pronounce Dollar Tree.
Much thanks. Ian
@MoneyPitCastle I told my husband about y'all and he looked up old news articles mentioning the "Texas Castle". He also found a website claiming to be yall with a blog selling merch. If it is y'alls official page I would love to support you buy purchasing something, but I don't see the website linked from this YT channel. I just wanted to make sure it was really you.
Sorry, if I sound crazy. I have people impersonating me on other platforms all the time. Currently there is a 50k Facebook page claiming to be me that I can't get shut down. Just want to be extra safe before I purchase.
Much love to y'all ❤
-Megan
Mister, your commentary puts me into hysterics with every video. Thank you for the entertainment and good luck with all the work coming up this next week. DA
I agree!
Appreciate you Donald.
Yes! Stop going so long between uoloads. I get worried
I felt a little funny, but I was worried too!
I love your sense of humour. I hope yall are able to put out more frequent videos. I also love that Corey Feldman sent a video ❤ Look forward to your next video 😊
Thanks so much!
Yes that was nice of him and not expected to make such a long video for us too.
Lots coming up now!
You should keep the Lightbulb of Hope and make a small exhibit for it in the castle.
The lightbulb of hope is still in that lamp!
@@MoneyPitCastlelol what about the lightbulb at the end of the video then 😅
As someone that thought they had a money pit of a house that we purchased (think lipstick on the pig, but they did a great job of camouflaging the pig. It didn't show itself until about 6 months after we moved in) you make me grateful that I am only dealing with a 1900 sq ft "castle". Much luck! Love the channel. Oh by the way - we are now almost 20 years into working on the place. We just finished pumping the water out of our crawl space, putting in a sump pump and encapsulating it. Get a good plumber in to get sump pumps strategically placed your life will improve significantly and make sure they run the water discharge as far away from the house as possible.
This is so awesome! I love you guys! As a resident of North Texas it's so wonderful to see y'all restoring the Santa Fe castle. I used to drive by the old Witing castle in Lake Worth and it still makes me sad to see it crumbling too. THANK YOU for taking on the Santa Fe. Love your sense of humor and determination! Looking forward to seeing more. God bless you.
Hi Rosie! Yes I know that castle too.
It's our pleasure, thanks for watching the videos. Tons coming up!
I was just thinking this morning we should be getting a video from you soon and here it is.
Thanks for the update.
Thanks a lot! I'm working on the next one right now and not go so long in between
Geesh!....A lil more work than I thought!...This rebuild is almost on the same level as the "Escape to rural France" Chateau rebuild lol....Keep on Crack'in!
Thank you!
The big different is that he knows what he is doing 😅
This is worse than Dan’s place. His chateau was already gutted by the fire. He just had to remove the growth inside. He has great help!
@@TexasBluebonnets22 I think it was more that he had a level of experience then Amaury and others helped him hone skills needed to take on the Chateau and he had supporting friends who have created a team of support.
@@TexasBluebonnets22 Awesome you're a fan of that channel too!..
I'm 10 mi down the road... Well actually 7 1/2... I've been waiting for an update❤
Thanks alot. Hopefully see you one day when it's safe inside
Love your edited captioning. 😂👍
Lol I had complaints about the swearing last time
@@MoneyPitCastle I'd hate to make your wife angry. 😂🫢
Keep up the hard work man, y'all will get through it!
Thanks a lot! We are a bit ahead in reality but I got time for videos now
@@MoneyPitCastle That's good
Oh man! This makes all my problems disappear! You have a huge job ahead of you! I’m wishing you the best of luck!
Haha happy to help!
Appreciate you
I hope you make it through the entire thing. People don’t realize what it takes to save an old building. Usually you can get some kind of community support for a building that everyone grew up seeing,but you seem so alone. 😢I hope you’re at the turning point when you start building things back. Maybe that’ll give you weekly content to use 🙄which will also use more time. I’ll watch and comment as soon as I see it because I appreciate someone trying to do something positive in this world. Wishing you a good next brew☕️
Thanks a lot! We will, it'll just take a while. No idea how this will all end up but we hope for a good ending
I love you guys. Almost cried when the light bulb worked. 😊
Haha yes I was more happy than I really should have been. Over a light bulb. Glad I wasn't the only one
@@MoneyPitCastleIt isn't just a light bulb, it's the Light Bulb of Hope. When you both discovered the lone bulb in the ruins, you attached the success of the project to faith the bulb may still work. And it does. It's like God was right there with you saying KEEP IT UP YOU'RE DOING WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO!
I'd have fell to my knees and wept like a lottery winner. But I'm a wierdy.
I wish you would post videos more often. This is so interesting!
We will from now. Things are happening quick all of a sudden
I would recommend draining the floor and if possible, laying down a concrete slab to build up off of. Possibly add some form of roof cover structure to redirect the water away from the roof.
Thank you mate
either. need to put plastic moisture barrier under the open floors, while they are open.
We did the grading properly. Just waiting for some more rain to see if the grading worked fully. They will probably need to be encapsulated.
@@MoneyPitCastle Hey at least you got that right, grading is the answer, sump pumps are a last resort.
Just finished every episode and I’m bummed there were more! I’m loving it! What a quirky place. I hope you guys are able to breathe new life into it!
You're here at the right time! It all kicks off now. Welcome!
Really need that water intrusion to be fixed . 2 days is a long time to be pumping water. Need a faster pump or the same water you’re pumping out is making it back in
I NEED MORE!! I love this so so so much!! I love how it is an Englishman coming to America to buy a castle... the irony can't be lost on other's either!
Haha yes we realized this after buying it too. We did it the wrong way round.
There's lots coming now!
Putting on a car show is a very big project. Ask me how I know ......😑
You've come a long way....and made tremendous strides and progress!!! It'll all work out! One day at a time! And keep that British humor! I love it!
Thanks alot mate! Appreciate that. Yes we have zero intentions of doing a car show, we just have random ideas here and there
Good luck with the renovations from the UK.
Thanks alot Andy. Enjoying the euros?
A good omen and tea... that's more than hope, it's progress
Thanks a lot. We are getting somewhere
Love the progress. Hope you still love the old castle when you finish the restoration.
Thanks alot! Yes I hope we don't grow to hate it lol, but I doubt it no matter how it ends.
I lived in this Castle when my ex-husband Angelo and I first got married.
Franco and Amelia lived in the left hand side and Angelo and I lived in the right-hand side. When you are facing the castle.
If you want to find some pictures of what the castle originally looked like check with Santa Fe high School they used to take their Annual pictures there, of the King and Queens Court Santa Fe high School.
It was so wonderful telling people that we lived in the castle.
Our side was very basic and looked more like a 1970s apartment however the Pignataros "Franco and Amelia"side was very beautiful.
I always remember hearing opera music as Amelia was vacuuming next door to us in their house.
Hi there. Much thanks. I'll contact the school. We do have lots of photos of the inside before Franco bought it and his it looked when it was built. That's kind of the basis for the layout.
Man y'all really tore it out good 👍👍❤❤❤
Haha it tore itself up I think. Demolition was pretty easy.
@@MoneyPitCastle I can't wait for next video
So incredible, you courage, your humor, perseverance. Love you both! I finally figured out how to subscribe to your channel. Yeah!
Thanks a lot Tim ! 🏰💡🏰💡
Sounds like everything‘s going perfect! So glad to be back for another video!
See you soon ! ☕🏰☕🏰💡

You have to get a rebuild party all through the summer ! I’m positive that people will come.
@@annlyon.2040 good idea. I'd be happy just to make it through hurricane season. We got a rough one coming up I think
@@MoneyPitCastle I know ! They have all man made from our government. Fact.
New to you & paid up for the 1st year... bring it on. 🙌 Cheers from Pat/Yukon, Canada
@@girlnorthof60 We got you! Thanks a lot. Please send your mailing address to santafecastle@gmail.com - we have something to send you
She's right about the cars shows.
Bi weekly videos and multiple shorts linked to them will gets more people in here.
Thanks alot! New one coming up
Wow. That's a whole lot of rot going on. Amazing Armadillos. I had no idea they just wander round peoples crawl spaces. I am amazed at how much demo you've done. It's gonna be unique. Good for you for chasing your dream ❤❤
Yeah the whole thing! But at least we can make sure it's done right.
Thank you. Yes the armadillos just wondered around like pacman Lol. Very hard to catch them in traps cause bait doesn't work like it does with raccoons
October and November you could have hayrides around the property. Locals would love it. Startup would be small and shouldn't cut in to the construction time. Most rides can be given when the sun goes down. Could be easy to just ask for tips instead of charging for a flat fee is an option. I grew up around here and always wanted that property to be fixed up. I have worked on many houses down here and know you have your hands full. Good luck.
Thanks very much. Yes its a pain lol. Lots we can do just need to get the grounds sorted too, pool removed next.
Thank you
OMG, an armadillo! In Virginia, they don't have a shell and we call them opossums. 😛
They're really special looking animals. I'm sure this guy or girl is still wondering around
Haha and yes we have a few of them too
so it looks like it's a pier and beam foundation, so those holes are meant for ventilation to keep moisture out.. but it obviously isn't working.. might need to regrade the ground around the castle to divert water away. I also recently watched a japanese carpenter redoing his house and he suggested putting 3/4-inch crushed stone down with pier and beam to also help with the moisture problem, especially since it's sitting on that good ol' texas mud.
I love your story and you guys are astonishing. I've got hope for you to recreate something beautiful at the castle because you are willing to work so hard and against so many odds to do just that. I think your Harbor Freight idea is a good one and wish you success.
Thanks a lot! Very nice of you to say. Lots coming up now, trying to get the next one out asap 😊
Wow! It will be very interesting to see it go back!
I can't believe some of the video I've got, this is a bit behind reality. I can't wait to get those videos out.
Thanks for been here and watching
I've watched all your videos this evening and enjoyed them. Very well edited and put together with some very good camera work. Good music selection, that shifts and adds to what's on screen. Great bit of quirky British humor slathered on top of it all. I mean it's an old castle and landmark being saved so what's not to love about it?
With all that being said you've earned my sub and I look forward to even more people jumping on board to watch and support, hopefully you find some sponsors as well.
Num 6:24-26 for you, yours, all those involved and all watching...
Appreciate the kind words, thanks for watching them all. They take a while to do.
New video is coming up
Massive rebuild! I was praying it would have been easier for you both. I pray for you.❤
Thanks Belinda 💡☕❤️🏰 At least this mess makes the videos more interesting 😅
Brother- I absolutely love you guys - thank you for sharing this journey with us and keeping your positive attitude through it all. Can't wait for the next video- best of luck.
Yeehaw. Thank you mate. Lots and lots coming up. Interesting next few videos coming up.
So glad y’all are finally getting started on the reconstruction. You have a lot of people following you and hanging onto hope with you. I’m brewing up my pot of tea and saying a prayer for y’all! ❤️😊
With renovation remember: Things always LOOK WORSE before they GET BETTER. 🏰 ⚒️
True! They can't look any worse.
I think
Making great progress. So glad to see a new video. Keep it up. 😊
Thanks alot
Waiting for the next upload! Goodluck on your progress with the castle it looks amazing so far I wish you luck! We need more people like you
Thanks so much. Yes we love it, as hard as it gets. We love the place. New video coming up just finishing editing
Maybe you could sell future tickets to tour the inside of the completed castle along with presenting a picture of what it would look like when finished.
That's a great idea
And the stone one, I'm going to do that on the crennalations at the back
so glad we have another video, thank you
More to come!
It looks like you are in need of a French Drain all around the Castle. I'm looking forward to seeing what you have accomplished. It's not as bad as it looks, bit of paper towel and a cup tea all will be right with the world. I was just looking at your channel last week thinking, should I poke him to upload lol
That's right! We have done the grading and it made a huge difference
@@MoneyPitCastle people like watching installation of beams, joists and noggins, just ask a few of the Chateau guys they get a lot of views on those video's. Make sure you film a lot of that, it helps pay for the wood and steels. take a look at Dan's Channel & Billy's Channel and have a cup of tea - Dan (escape to France) just finished his last floor and Billy (The Petherick's) just started the floor in the Library. Dan will be starting on his roof soon, a complete ruin rebuild due to fire.
If those two can do it, you and your wife can too, don't be discouraged. I felt your frustration when you showed the main floor ripped up. One bite at a time. You have stopped the water coming in and that is amazing! Well Done!!
I've missed you!!! Need the laughs you provide ❤️
Happy to hear! It's showtime now
You guys are doing an amazing job. Keep going you’ll get there before you know it
Thanks very much for been here 🏰🏰
Wow you have come a long way since the start--just keep ploughing ahead--follow your dream.
Haha yes I just watched the first video this morning and yes it's a big change.
Appreciate you watching and supporting us🎉
I'm not only loving the process of restoration and finding of little treasures, but I'm also enjoying this being a little reminiscent of Karl Pilkingtons humor which is my favorite kind of humor! Good luck and many blessings with the house moving forward. Can't wait to see the next update!
Got to love Karl. The one where he had the colonoscopy is my goto video when I need a laugh.
Thanks for been here. Lots and lots coming up!!
WoW, the project is really coming along. Well done
Thanks! Next video big step forwards
Its coming along and the light bulb worked! Theres your sign! Good job guys!!
Thanks Kim 💡💡💡💡
You just came up in my feed and I watched everything so far! Love it! Please keep the hope!
That's very cool, you're all caught up! You're here at the perfect time 🏰🏰🏰 Welcome to the chaos ☕☕☕
Glad to see another video lad! Cheers!
Thanks Lass! New one coming up too
I wondered why those top blocks were removed and now ALL is clear. Yeah, we're watching the mess from Hitchcock down the road and bought our own mess on the waterway here
Thanks! Yes and also even if the wood wasn't rotted - it's would be impossible to put aa new roof on without removing them anyway as they sit on the roof for support.
Good luck with your mess!
Thanks ! We've been at it for 4years and still needs work. Lots of construction mistakes when it was built, kind of the Ponderosa look and everything is on angles and nothing squares up.
Always fix the water issues first. Foundation first to see if worth saving building. Get the water away from the house. Drainage to a pond etc.Then replace roof. Then strip walls to see all the problems. Fix structural issues then plumbing, then electrical. Then the finish work.
Half of a million dollars later
We needed to do it in reverse. Can't replace the roof until the structure is right. We need to do all that first and the replace the roof.
@@MoneyPitCastle Have you thought about a go fund me to cover some of the expenses? You can get a sump pump and dig a hole to get rid of the standing water. Goodluck with the place. It will take a lot of time and money but potentially it could be worth it. Airbnb you could even rent the place for weddings and events.
@@MoneyPitCastle Flat roof, even new is guaranteed to leak! Put some pitch on the new roof or you will be back with water problems in the future...
@timetravel6 yep. Lots of flat roofs on old homes 🤷♀️ Texas they're always a pain.
In Texas you gotta watch out for scorpions and snakes too when you're renovating. Be careful stay safe. I look forward to seeing it finished❤
Thanks! Not seen scorpions yet but snakes are everywhere
You probably need to regrade the dirt around the foundation. Make sure it slopes away from the structure so you won’t get any water coming in through the foundation.
Thanks alot. Exactly what we did. It's better but not perfect. There's a few other areas we are working on this week
@@MoneyPitCastle Another, unfortunately more expensive option, would be to install French drains to carry the water away from the structure. I don’t know what type of soil you have there so the best solution would be determined by the perk rate of the soil. Best of luck.
One of our cars is a Santa Fe...
Not that its relevant, but a comment is a comment if it helps this channel grow!
Keep up the great work mate, all the hope and tea to you guys from Australia 😊
G'Day mate! We are Honda people ourselves but whatever helps the algorithm. Thank you!
Your making progress thanks for sharing
No problem at all. These videos are therapy lol
The staircase is an absolute dream! The woodwork ❤ It’s comical how the Mrs. calls you husband like a nickname 😂
Ha ha yes it was a joke to begin with and just stuck
Thanks for watching
Yay! Money Pit Castle uploaded! Let me grab a tea and watch!😄
Subscribed. This is the type of renovation channel I didn’t know I needed. ❤ It’s therapeutic to watch, thank you so much! I’ll be buying a mug with my next paycheck 👍
Welcome! You couldn't have come at a better time.
Appreciate the mug buying but just watching a long is more than enough to help us too and commenting
Glad to see the teapot.
It's back! And much need.
Thank you
I have loved every vid you have put out out so far and can’t wait for the new series! Also, I love your British sense of humor and your wife’s beautiful teeth! I hope you are making lots of $$ to further the progress on the castle. I will come out to visit you to see it when it is finished!
Thanks a lot Susanne. We have enough to keep going for now. See how far we get!
We appreciate you watching and supporting.
Hope you guys get this house back to working order.... I've been here since the build started and I really want to see you guys really bring this house back to live
When we purchased our home 15 years ago, it needed everything done to it, so even though I'm no expert, I'll give you my best advice on how to tackle this...
Step 1: rubberize the roof to stop the water ingress there. You can install a more period-correct roofing at a later date.
Step 2: Locate and stop all other water ingress points, including windows and doors.
Step 3: Fix any foundational issues.
Step 4: Fix any framing issues, especially rotted timbers.
Step 5: The real work of rebuilding can begin, without fear of water leakage or collapse.
Having said all that, I had to go section-by-section because we were living in the home, but it looks like you've got most of the demotion done, and can just start cranking on renovating.
I wish you the best of luck and success in this project, and can't wait to see what you do!
AW I always love seeing your updates :) A good brew. always sorts you out :) I can't wait to see the rebuild begin :)
Thanks so much.
It's coming.
🏰🏰🏰🏰
Thank you guys for restoring this always wanted to see in inside of this place
Thanks a lot! This video was some months ago, we are doing good now. I'll get a new video out tomorrow
Armadillos! My favorite childhood animal that I had never seen in real life.
Same! They're very interesting looking and have a great demeanor. I think we had 2 of them
oooh congrats on the beginning of rebuild...alll the best
Thanks a lot 🏰🏰🏰
I am in awe of your passion and dedication. It’s so easy to get discouraged, but if you can stick it out, I know it will end up being amazing.
Thank you so much!
Looks like your doing a great job of getting rid of rot. Its going to be exciting to see things going back in now. Happy to see your post.....was just thinking you hadn't posted in a bit .😊
Thanks alot! Working on next video as we speak. And yes it might have looked like a mess here but it smelt so much better lol
Love your videos. Wish you updated more often!
I will try! Especially now things are moving quick
Beautiful Castle. I am enjoying the journey.
Thanks alot! It will be beautiful by the end 🎉🎉🎉
Just found you. Can't wait to see more.
Thanks a lot Claudia!
What an undertaking. Keep it up, you guys got this!
Thanks so much. We will keep going.
Wow what a mess. Hang in there ❤
Haha we are good! Just gotta get on with it! Appreciate you been here
you will get it done. Castle is in a better state now than when you got it
Thanks! Definitely is. Just getting rid of all that weight and crap is a big deal
I really hope there will be multiple seasons of this show! Really love it! Who knows......there may be Dragons next season. 😆
Appreciate you been interested. There's lots to come!
I bought a fixer upper last year and have been spending 2 hours a day and 14 hours on weekends turning it into our dream home. I always love coming to see the progress on Money Pit Castle, watching your videos keeps my fire burning to keep pushing through on my house even though it feels like its never gunna end
I know the feeling!
I'm glad we can help, always helps to see others in similar situations. Good luck with it
I love that you are renovating this amazing house ! I agree with the other comments that you should have a day where people can volunteer to come help. (Me included since I live not far away!) Enjoy your sense of humor, and the tea ending lol.
Hopefully your wife will look at things a little more humorously as well soon. Best of luck with this marvelous place!
I don't have a castle but I did have significant water damage in my house. Floors and walls were stripped and I lived in concrete construction dust and stud walls for a few months while things dried, then another few months of rebuilding (in the process my chimney fell off the house taking the porch with it). I felt a bit hopeless during the whole process. But the highlight of the disaster was getting to know the crews who helped rebuild my home. I got to bring them cases of water, Gatorade, and occasionally they let me buy them lunch. We'd chit chat, wave and smile throughout the days. In turn i got some laughter and a bit of hope. It genuinely helped a lot.
As for your money situation, perhaps posting more on YT or even posting tiktoks would help. Ive heard tiktok can be lucrative and renovation stuff seems to be pretty popular there. Have you tried looking into getting the castle deemed a historic site? Not sure what it takes but it might allow you some grant money for renovations.
Try not to get too discouraged. All will work out in the end. Sending hope and hugs from San Antonio, TX ❤
Hello there. Thanks so much.
Yes we are on the register so will get a percentage back from restoration cost.
How is your house now? Is it finished?
@@MoneyPitCastle hi! Yes, house is finished. It took nearly a year but I had one contractor who's two man crew quit on him mid summer. The contractor ended up working alone on much of the outside of the house until he picked up one other guy who was willing to work in the Texas heat, So a very small crew. But the house is finished and it's not only beautiful but it's safe, energy efficient, and up to code lol. I truly hope you guys get to enjoy your completed castle sooner rather than later. It's definitely worth the heartache and frustration. Hug your missus and together you'll get through it with a lighter heart ❤️
Progress is progress!!! Cheers
Thank alot for watching
@@MoneyPitCastle Looking forward to more!
You should hit up Lipton, Tetley or maybe even Adagio Teas for a sponsorship my friend. I binge watched all the episodes and now I'm drinking tea, so that I can have hope. You'd make a fortune. Also I truly love the progress I saw, and I hope y'all are successful. Tonight though, Beryl is off the coast and about to rain down on us, so I hope that you guys are ready for her and I hope the hope is staying alive.
Good idea! It'll have to be Yorkshire tea though
Keep up the good work, looking forward to your next video! 😊👍
appreciate that, its coming up!
You should do more videos! Luv your banter n watchin u re built it would be fab.. n revenue from it will help !!! Will be work the blood sweat n tears ! Luv from 🇬🇧
Thanks so much.
You're right! Editing the new one now. I'm aiming to get it out by Sunday.
"Hope" wonderful word, thank you for sharing 👍!
Thanks for watching 🏰🏰🏰
Maybe a spot of ICED tea is what you need for a bit of hope. 🥤
Keep the faith, anything is possible. 👍
Southern iced tea will send him back to England or lead to Future obesity LOL
Tea should never be cold. It's like coffee without caffeine
Gosh ! I drink about a half gallon of iced tea everyday !
@@annlyon.2040 Me too!
Yay!! A new video!!!
thank you for watching!
I would suggest taking a look at Matt carrickers abandoned mansion/resort series for ideas on how to make more money out of this channel and get sponsorship from various sources.
I genuinely wish you guys well and hope you get this wonderful piece history back to it's beautiful former self.
