    This channel has a lot of potential! Please narrate the process and find someone who will help you with the video editing process. (Some background music, text editing etc). You don't have to speak in English in your narration. Once again congratulations for the great content.

      Well he does have to speak in English if his targeted audience is not just the Sotho-Tswana group, if it's the entire South Africa or even beyond then he should accommodate everyone

      Yeah I get what you’re saying.. but I think that’s what makes this channel, this channel.. that’s it’s unique selling point. Otherwise it would be just another DIY UA-cam channel amongst the lot.. For me, the “raw” editing makes me feel as though I was a part of the building process.. it makes the whole process feel relatable, to a certain extent 🤷🏽‍♀️ and as time goes by, we as the audience may have our favourite builders as we can hear the conversations so that leaves room for people to come back and see if their “favourite guy” is back on site and what he has to say in the new video .. LOL! You get what I mean? Adding text could cause a lot of distraction from the content and somethings could be hard to explain via text. Also, having the “wrong music” playing whilst watching the video could turn some people off..

    Very impressed with the materials and methods used, just one question/concern, why didn't you build the perimeter walls with a cavity instead of 9inch? That's a recipe for rising damp, I've seen the same on many Northern South African builds, not only yours, hence my question.
