Lovely work Charlie, but please look after yourself. Shortness of breath like you described is a classic sign of stress, which can manifest in serious conditions like heart attacks and mental breakdowns. Don't push yourself too hard!

I really look up to you, Charlie!<br><br>My girlfriend and I bought our first home last year, and we've been renovating since move in date. We're making good progress, and I genuinely put a lot of the meticulousness in my work down to watching your videos. You never cut corners and always go the extra mile, which has really influenced the way I approach DIY.<br><br>It's great to watch someone who's so enthusiastic about what they do. Your passion is infectious, and has inspired me to take pride in every job. Thank you for all the videos they've taught me a lot.

As someone who is single handedly renovating a 3 bed end of terraced wreck, I can empathise with all your efforts to do jobs that are really a 2 man job all alone. Rest assured you’re doing a sterling job chap and you’re an inspiration to what I’m doing too.<br><br>Keep up the great work chap but look after yourself too 👍

Brilliant, Charlie! That threshold looks fantastic, and great to reuse the original wood

I hope the owner of the bay window company sees this and tries to make good for all the unnecessary corrections you had to do. Great job!

I love how you keep it real and share the bad with the good. That way, we all learn right along with you.

All the way through this I was asking myself if this is still DIY? I know a lot of the film is speeded up, but the way you solve problems and complete complex tasks is way over most DIYers, even advanced ones. I know I couldn't come close to doing what was in this video alone. Respect Charlie.

Charlie, your work ethic, optimism, knowledge and resilience are inspirational. Do you ever see your family? What is your full time job?
