      @@amymck6558 I work with my competitors often and we all get along fine. I live in the US. Its a big country and how things are done vary depending on the location in the country. I also have little to no crime where I live. Often people make assumptions about the US but like I said its a large country upstate NY is nothing like NYC. Take care.

    Proper windows and doors for weatherboard with cheek boards so you can install them over the fitted weatherboard. NZ can do it, UK can do it, USA can do it. I have tried to get windows like that in Oz to no avail apparently one sort of window fits all which anyone who doesn't work for an Australian window company could work out is rubbish. We have to fit all the windows and doors and then the weatherboard goes over their flange. Crazy stupid idea that makes new installations hard and replacements a real pain. Much more logical and quality approach in NZ. Lock up for Christmas all good. Looking forward to the new year's exciting episodes. Good work guys.

    Got busy for a bit w work, but felt like something was amiss, then realized I hadn't watched your videos in a few weeks.
    It's truly a joy to watch (the camaraderie, the shots, the music, the transitions, the building, altogether it is so good) and reminds me to get back to building.
    When you have a job where you don't get to actually see your work completed it can leave a sense of unfulfillment.
    But building allows you to see your work, your progress, what you've accomplished. I think that's the reason I like to watch construction videos, and yours, to me, are the best around.

  • @andrewcarr2431
    @andrewcarr2431 3 роки тому +2

    Hey Parnea - comes from the Latin term "plumba" or "metal lead". Originally a soft metal weight (such as lead) on a string line that was used (with gravity) to measure or draw a vertical line, hence a plumb bob. We used to make them as an exercise in shop class on the lathes. The chemical symbol for Lead is "Pb" from this latin description.

    Those alan key screws are hard to reach but what you can try if something is that close to a surface is to put a long bitholder (300mm) or something like that on either your drill or bit screwdriver. Its a bit of an angle that way but 9 out of 10 times still able to rotate without damaging the head. Thanks for the great videos!

    Btw, French here, plumb comes from "Plomb" in French, which means lead, (the metal), we (and I imagine everyone but for some reason the french words tend to stick) used to use a heavy lead and a string to figure out if things were level vertically, hence... Plumb! I haven't researched that btw, this is just me being french and assuming everything has to have happened because of us hahaha Cool video as usual, thanks ;)
