The old steps start at 5:24, first 5 minutes is a roof test patch and some chat. Thanks for watching folks!
Reminds me of a comment to I made, once, to an Ex stepping out of shower "Still not pretty but at lease you're clean." Lesson learned for sure! ;-)
the rof patched came out AMAZING! as for the steps - you got them clean but i think that due to the color of the bricks they didn't come out as sparkling as normal. that and it could've just been the age of the brickwork too. you did good man, and for it being free? it certainly looks a LOT better. ehck, i'd even do the pavement to show something was done - but you probably also did that. I had to stop watching when you showed off what you did becuase my computer is having audio issues - everything sounds staticy, so i've got to fix that. It's on my end, not yours. the vdieo is perfect bub. and hey, thanks for sharing this stuff with us. it is rather relaxing to watch and it's great on a rainy morning.
Never lower your standards to to make your satisfaction justified. I wished the world had more of this hard working gentleman's work ethics out there.
Definitely not a fail sid. Probably older than me and you put together. They look 100x better and safer now
The van looks wonderful Sid! That's definitely a proud accomplishment! You have really had a stellar year. Couldn't be happier for you. 👍
Cheers!!! 🥛🥂🍺 for more to come 💜
I don’t think this was a fail! The patch test on the roof looked very good. As for the old stone wall and steps - you learned what doesn’t work which in the long run is as important as knowing what Does work. And finally the van is Awesome! So pleased to see you reaping the benefits of your hard work and excellent work ethic, Sid. Wishing you & yours a blessed Holiday!
Don't ever consider it a loss... but a learning curve to expand your knowledge to help in the future like you did. You do wonderful work so just always remember that.
I thought the stairs looked great because you could tell they were clean but it left the antique look. I would have been well pleased with your results. You always do a fantastic job.
That roof clean test patch was amazing! Looking forward to see more. Beautiful van!
The reason why the bricks didn’t clean very well possibly because they are very early 1900 engineering bricks which are glazed.
So looking forward to next Wednesday when I finish for Christmas.
Using that steam pressure washer I would be always very conscious of the Fire Brigade turning up !! Lol
Yep, those suckas were used in septic tanks and all sorts. I once drilled some at college (they used us to do odd jobs) to install some wall mounted ash trays and the drill bit melted (the hard bit on the end came out), the college tutor told me to put my back into it lol.
I tend to agree. I'm not even from the UK and I can see that is very old stone/brick work. It'll be nearly impossible to get it looking "brand new." I think it looks great as it is, to be honest, that little bit of remaining patina isn't a bad thing. I'm always amazed at all of the decorative stonework y'all have over there. We just don't see that here in the US.
The thing I think floored me most is the stone roofing tiles. Haha, my house would probably collapse under the weight of a roof like that!
Every time I see a gnarly driveway...I think of you, Sid. 🤣
Excellent work as usual (it DOES look better!) and always a pleasure to have you in the notifications!
Happiest of the Holiday Season to you and the fam!!
Love your work ethic and can hear the honesty in your voice in what you do and don’t like.
Finally a video 😎😄. Everyday is a school day Sid - glad you share all of your experiences as it helps a lot of us 👍🏼
as a customer of tradespeople such as yourself, the condition of your van is important. If you turn up in a rustbucket, it gives the impression you dont care about the quality of your work. You sir, have a clean van :)
Perfectionist showing thru
Well done mate.
thanks bud!
I don't know how proficient you are at basic engineering, but you might consider making a cradle with two 6" wheels to mount the end of the pole, then you could just run the pole up and down the roof, in a waterfed pole window cleaning fashion. Would take a lot of strain off the back. Good luck with this new method.
That test patch was brilliant! Loving the new van Sid. So smart.
At least you are learning what the capabilities of the steam cleaner are. Those bricks have probably never been cleaned before. The van looks amazing.
The end result of the wall clean was very good. Those bricks are fired darker & won't brighten-up any more.
Van looks quality. Well deserved. You earned it. 2022 is going to make you!! Heard it here first
Always good - love how you keep going. The van looks fantastic.
Thank you for the video, it’s very satisfying as always☺️ Hi from Russia!🤚🏻
The van looks fab! 👏🏻
thank you kit kat!
Great looking van
omg the van looks amazing!!! and hot damn that cleans the roof tiles SO well!
and as bad as you think that stairway looks, i think it's a huuuuuuuge step up from where it was. it still keeps that aged aesthetic, but without the overcrowding green.
great work love it
Never a fail , just all weathered concrete which Thor and his fire hammers have hit by the looks of it 🤣 , Van looks so good Sid really happy for you hope you have a great Christmas too 👍
Truck looks gorgeous! Congratulations!
thank you!
I’m stoked for the video of when you go back to clean the steps.
Thank you for all you do!! Love the channel.🖤💖
I think you did a great job!
Holly hell, that van makes you look like a professional and gives an impression that you know what you're doing :D Just kidding. Jokes aside, I am very happy for your success. Respect for hard working people like you! You are everything I could never be, yet it inspires and even motivates me. Also: god damn satisfying to watch.
The van looks great!! Thank you for another cool video!
I’m sure wearing your glasses on a steam cleaning day made it even harder. Love your videos! Happy Christmas!
Top guy 👍 he does extremely good jobs, always does top class work, best exterior cleaner .. 👍
Your high standards are a testament to just how much you know what you're doing, Sid! Anyone would look at the difference, think it's great, and move on...but when you're in the business and really know your stuff that's when you see any downfalls. You should be proud of yourself for that :D Blessing and a curse, I know, but definitely a compliment and definitely agree that this isn't a fail!
Is there a brush attachment you can get for the steam wand? A light bit of scrubbing agitation with the steam and the stone might clean up better.
That is no failure! You offered it for free, you knew going in it was going to be a tough one, you did the best you could with what you had and it looks 100 x better than it did. It may not be a success, but it is no failure!
Nice grime line you had there Sid, definitely looking better than what it did, great van graphics, ought to get you noticed more, have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, James, from Susquehanna Pennsylvania USA
Hope you have a nice holiday too. I'm outside Baltimore.
@@geofffikar3417 you too, stay safe and warm
Nothing is ever a fail if it has a positive outcome. And you've done your best. Great van looks belting👍.
Your van graphics are outstanding! Love the color. Clean lines, easy to read and great to look at.
Its really lovely how you take pride in your work. Too many tradesmen and cleaners etc just dont care anymore and think a substandard finish is acceptable.
Oh man... how proud you are of your van just made my whole day. It probably seems like a small thing to lots of people... but when you've got your own business, something like that's like seeing your kids first steps. Congratulations, man. ❤️❤️❤️
Brilliant work and thanks for sharing this with us take care
Great video Sid. Van looks awesome. Thanks for sharing!!!
I'm getting snow today, good test of my winter driving skills! Van graphics look great Sid! Looks like steam cleaning the roof is the way to go! Any new videos before Christmas? Cheers!
Cheers buddy! Definitely 1 more before Christmas!
A big gain in knowledge for you and viewers! Thanks 🙏
That roof patch was a drastic difference! And the steps, they were in serious need of that cleaning and although you aren’t so happy I bet the person living there was impressed just with that. Looking forward to the next adventure!!
Hey that's surely not a fail! You did an amazing job, things can't always go the way u want them to be ahaha also your van's looking clean! Great video still love it
Don t be so hard on yourself. i think is really good that you experiment in the stairs and you can come to conclutiions and know what to do next time, you have to learn somhow i think is good that you try and learn , to be honest i think when a customer will ask you he will appreciate your expertise and you only achieve expert level by making mistakes and see what you can improve so ... for me not a bad day but a very succeful day . Dont be so hard on yourself, it was a learning experience and it looks better after than before that for sure !!! And the roof test with no chemicals... is amazing!!!!
The van is awesome have a wonderful day
Thank you Katie!
You did NOT fail, Sid; it's not your fault the bricks are stained and the mortar too fragile to withstand a proper high-pressure blast washing. The wall still looks LOADS better. The age gives it character, but you brightened it, and cheered it up wonderfully~
The van looks GREAT! Good for you. Hope you and your family have a
Merry Christmas. Try and find time for you and your family.
Van looks amazing! Great job Sid!
Congrats on the van--it looks awesome! Blessings of the season to you and your family!
The roof tiles came out looking new. As far as the steps, the definitely look safer. Maybe chemicals will make a huge difference, but if they don't, it certainly looks better.
Failing forward by keeping integrity
Today was highly valuable
The van looks fantastic!! Congratulations on your success. You are a wonderfully kindhearted person and deserve it!
The van looks great, you deserve it.
Thanks Laura!
U didn't fail. Did your best. Awesome video
Not a fail at all Sid! Great video as always. Love the paint job on the van, looks awesome!! 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Love the van!!! Enjoy your work & watching your business & equipment evolve🥰
It's not a failed job it looks a lot better then when you started out. Just over the years the build up takes time to get it cleaned. Don't kick yourself over the job. Keep going to get it down to make it 120%.
That van is pretty slick… more power to you! The V-Tuf is quite the space age looking unit and it appears to be extremely efficient.
I think it looks great. It's old, so it aged. That gives it character ❤
Wouldn't consider this a fail. You definitely learned somethings and it does looks so much better. But I also love that you work hard to achieve the best results possible for your customers.
Good work Sid. In terms of the sandstone copings, that black staining is Carbon. Only really strong acids (avoid at all costs) or media blasting will remove it. You could try wire brushing it, but you’ll likely do significant damage, or really uneven appearance when you’ve finished.
You did the best you could! Looks a lot better!
I think you're so hard on yourself. That came up beautifully compared to the other side!
And at least you're trying to improve someones day. For free. Not many people are as kind as you are.
Keep being you :)
Great job Sid! Have a happy and safe Christmas 🎄
Van looks absolutely top notch mate, matches your work too!
It does look better, don’t underestimate your work! The Van is fabulous, congrats on that. You’ve worked so hard for it and your equipment so enjoy 😊. Cheers 🍻
I would be really happy Sid if my old wall and stairs came up as clean as that! The van is looking great 👍 I find your vids to be quite therapeutic to watch and love the end results, All the best for the New Year, can’t wait to see what you bring us in 2022!
Wow 02:26 Yes I saw 🔥 come out the machine 👍😁
Love watching your videos I just close my eyes and listen to the music.
Thank you 😁👍
Your van looks great!
9:45…did you see that big bug??
damn i forgot to zoom in on the edit! i spotted it when editing, its a big old spider :D
Great cleanning job! Loved watching your videos!👍👍👍
The van is a thing of beauty Sid😍
I still think you did an amazing job with those stairs and wall, even though you didn't have the chemicals you needed
Love everything about your videos and your incredible work ethic!
Funny intro which was perfectly done! Your van looks amazing! The steam cleaner looks like a futuristic lunar transport, but its cleaning power is mind blowing! Wow! It did an amazing job on the yard statues, the roof and the ancient stone steps. The dirt, moss, and algae just blast away! Amazing to watch.
Best wishes for your continued success. Merry Christmas to you and yours from the USA!
Congratulations on your new truck ! It Looks awesome!
Van looks awesome !! The roof will great when you get it all done. Stairs look better, but i think they are so old even chemicals wont get it much cleaner.
The steps still look wonderful even though you don’t think it’s perfect. You do such good work.
Having use a steam cleaner a lot, I learned to keep Up wind of the tip of the wand. also, just like pressure washing start at the bottem and work your way up, then rinse it all off. love how steam cleans. And that Van is looking sharp. Happy holidays to you and your family.
I think it looks tons better. Not a fail. Good job for what it was.
Love your honesty and drive to do a good job. It’s great watching your videos and I’m learning as you learn, so a big thank you. Also been enjoying your statue cleaning - it’s really interesting. Hope your business goes from strength to strength, you put so much in and you’ve definitely earned it. Hope you and your family have a lovely Christmas. Stay say safe and stay well. Sand. P.S. Your van is the business! Nice one.
It's a great feeling to have something nice that reflects all your hard work!!! Cheers from across the pond in the USA. :)
Awesome job !!!!
Dude! The van looks amazing! Very professional!
New sign writing looks sick man
I've got the same extention cable reel as you! I think the stairs looked much better but thats just me. It's easy to critique yourself when you're such a perfectionist but you did a good job so you should be proud 😊
Never get the masterplug reverse reel - total pain in the arse to use.
It’s not a fail, it’s a learning experience! You have high standards and that’s what puts you above the others!
Roof test patch and ivy removal was quality
I've only just came across your channel within the last couple of days, so glad I did! Fantastic channel.. keep up the great work 🤘
Heya, Sid! Your van is looking tiptop 🙌🏾
I think you did a good job with what you had to work. It still looks better than before 😊
"It's a future win but today loss" great words man
I've learn something from your video too
The van is on point !!
That bug around ~@9:42. Just "whoops, getting TF out of here!" around all that cleaning. :D
Are you kidding me right now! That test patch is OUTSTANDING ... holy cow!
It looks so much better!!
It’s never a fail bud it’s always a school day
thats true!
What a difference on those steps ... seriously good job Sid🙂
Van looks class Sid merry Christmas friend to you and your family 🙏.
