    Just want to say thank you for last week, we’re obviously still really anxious to be sharing this video today but the support from this community has meant so much. The only people that have known the full story of what’s been going for so long has been our parents (hi mom and dad x 2, we know you’re reading this)…every text and conversation from them this week has been them updating us the comment section, as if we’re not as invested as they are 😂. Of course, it’s in a parent’s nature to protect their kids and they’re just so appreciative to each and every one of you for having our backs as this unfolds. This wasn’t the news we were hoping for this week, especially with fall feeling like it’s slipping away. We’re trying to make contingencies and figure out next steps to get the container home running NO MATTER WHAT this winter. Keep your fingers crossed and your thoughts positive for us…we’re going to need it!

If it were me, I'd sue their asses for the entire cost of the pool, the liner, the installation, not to mention the cost of time, labor, and energy having our beloved Dumpy fix all the shit that they should have taken care of in the first place. We love Dumpy naturally (I mean he has an American fan club), but he honestly needs to be elevated to sainthood for all he's done and redone for companies who clearly can't get their shit together and do the damn job right the first time.

      Because some people will not just fight a lawsuit, they will just pay the bill.And of course, this company thinks they haven't done anything wrong. And that company's mind, they fulfilled their part of the bargain, but for some reason, they don't realize what a shitty job they did. If the right people aren't sent to do the jobs and the information about their mistakes never makes it back to the main company, how is that mean company supposed to even know that their people are just no good. I don't know if one of the owners was there while the installation was going on so for what, but I don't think they have a leg to stand on.

The designer who neglected to pay attention to building standards, requiring the external staircase, the shoddy work on the staircase, the foundation not being properly attached to the container, the siding debacle, the pool fiasco, to name my favorite screw-up artists , all could have earned the wrath of a over a quarter million people. You are better than I am. Stay strong in the struggle!

The company must be stopped so that even more people don't get scammed. You both and Dumpy are all troopers for problem solving this mess every day.

Reading the comments I feel like this shitty situation has polarized this community beyond its previous supportive perspective. Team Tyler and Todd has shown so much support, those with legal knowledge, contractor/building knowledge are contributing such good advice! Love it. Tyler and Todd keep finding the silver linings, find the moments to walk in the woods and keep up your balanced resilient approach (which blows my mind every week)

Y'all have been through SO many mishaps, missteps etc. but the nice thing is You guys come out on top. Y'all work through the literal stages of grief & in the end you have each other & your fur family.

    Your characters are testament to the way you are coping with the terrible time you are having to endure. It’s obvious how frustrated you both are but you remain calm ( on screen at least ) and are supporting each other with love and determination to rectify the works previously done badly. With all the evidence we have all seen no one could make a judgement that the work was done to even the most basic of standards that would have even in some small way produced the pool as was requested by you. Keep striving to correct the problems , stay sane, keep cheerful and believe in KARMA it will see you through. Love to you Dumpy and your fur babies ❤🇬🇧

    I don't know if it would be helpful or not but when our 1940's era stone & concrete cistern on the farm developed leaks we had someone come out and spray a 2 part epoxy/polyeurathane liner. It adhered & created a water-tight seal & was fine for drinking water. I don't remember a company but something like that might help. Thanks for sharing and the wonderful videos!
