    Hello Andrew, I’ve just finished binge watching all you videos! I’ve been off work following hand surgery and your time lapse video of the abandoned house renovation landed just in time to keep me entertained. I just had to subscribe and see what other adventures you had to share and you have kept me well entertained over the last two weeks with great content. It looks like you have gained about 20,000 more subscribers in that time and I not surprised. Keep it up, I’m so looking forward to following the renovations on your house. Regards Andy T

    Holy Cow, what rain you had. I laughed out loud watching Will and Chris leaping through the air like springer spaniels. That was so much fun. I miss Burt too. He was a wonderful companion to you and then to Will. With that said, I look forward to the re-build of your own home. I won't miss an episode that is for sure Andy. Stay strong as you move forward and hopefully no mishaps, no broken anything, not now, not ever. Good weather all around too.

    Could you throw a couple ropes over the top of the tent, stake on either side to both reinforce the hold down and reduce the flapping of the sides? With maybe some foam pads between the rope and tent at the pressure points to avoid wear on the tent.

    • @SiApPeter
      @SiApPeter Рік тому +1

      You can also use rope inside the tent, tied in an X, corner to corner, along each side. I've found it really helps brace the tarp from buffeting by spreading the load in high winds. It especially works across doorways helping the strain on zips and fittings

    • @x56080
      @x56080 Рік тому +1

      I had a polyhouse here in India where it was windy too. I used black drip lines as rope to tie down to the ground and really helped. With that you don't need any padding under it and it's robust than a rope.

    Love seeing your dogs so happy jumping around 😊 preparation for the new journey on your own house. Iam so curious. Maybe you should secure the tent with a view steel cables in the ground! I experienced this also in the valley overhere many times. Now I use these cables with poles

      It’s doing well so far but I’ll probably add cables to be extra safe.

    We use black plastic lay flat tube, joins to the poly pipe and into the IBC, or runs it away on the ground
