    As a young person with no mortgage, a dry roof over your head, just relax and be patient and all will happen in good time. Just think of all the money you are saving on interest on a mortgage, it will put things in better perspective. New subscriber.

We will be doing a lot of renovations, and repairs on our recently purchased mid-terraced house in Blackpool in the near future. If you know of any people in the trades that do good quality work, and are reasonable with costs please let me know.🙂

      @ thanks again. Sadly I don’t have any recommendations. The reason I try and do everything myself is because of multiple bad experiences. Even the builder I had here will not be coming back. Also I’m new to the area so I just don’t know. Best course I would say would be to ask friends and family who have had work done. I wouldn’t use any trade websites or Facebook.

    Really great channel. Your wife has a keen eye to design and it’s clear you both have your daughter’s heart in first place. It’s time to go back to your talent to fix and better what areas need attention. You might also take us to your workshop to see your welding jobs and perhaps more custom furniture to sell on marketplace. I think you have great content to include on your channel. Talk to us about what’s going on today verses the past. Show us your talent to build for others and not the story of how others failed to deliver. You needn’t apologize for anything. As your resources return you’ll be in a position to do things the way you always preferred. We don’t need to know the reasons you had to fall short of your ideal solutions. You’re a great guy and you will soar when this takes off.

    • @FromLeedsToWest

      Thank you for the kind comments. Eventually I hope to take you guys with me on jobs but sadly I do need to loose the workshop at some point. But I’m trying to hold onto it for as long as possible. Once I have some funds for materials we will definitely build some cool stuff. Just you wait. Thanks for watching. Dave

      I’m sure that time will come. I need to make them a permanent home. They are in the temporary accommodation at the moment. Nothing has happened with the stain glass window yet. But I have figured out that the image of the abbey in the top Center of the glass is fountains abbey. I wonder why?

    As a novice stained glass hobbyist, I loved the glimpses of your stained glass entryway and skylight.

    • @FromLeedsToWest
      @FromLeedsToWest  25 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Plenty of glimpses throughout the vlog. You might be able to advise me on how to repair a broken area. I was thinking of trying to fully remove it all and clean it up on a bench. It’s covered in years of paint. But also that sounds very risky to me.

      @@FromLeedsToWest Being fairly new to working with stained glass, I've never attempted repairing a panel before. However, there are repair videos on TH-cam I've watched which would show you how it's done and the tools needed. A couple of those artists are in the UK. Just search by "repairing stained glass". Love how you've fixed up your home.

      @FromLeedsToWest  2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      State of old boards. Not worth saving. Time and money. In a nutshell. Can always come back to them in a few years but if I honestly don’t see the point. 90% would need to be replaced.

      I have done many things with wood but never worked on houses. All the weird and wonderful. Should probably do a video on it really. The last few years I have worked on tv and film building scenery. I really enjoy making furniture out of steel and wood but I couldn’t drum up enough business to make it work.
      I just like making things. 😂
