    As I watch each episode Louis personality comes across more and more. What a great guy he is. He’s not a natural,on camera like Milly but when he’s on his expertise explaining stuff he’s amazing. Not given to giving bouquets but all the hard work these two put in they deserve applauding. 👏🏽👏🏽

    I love watching you guys, it’s fascinating and you, Milly, are absolutely hilarious. The bit when Louis tells you not to touch the resin, but you’ve already done it, then watching you look around for somewhere to wipe it whilst he carries on oblivious, literally made me laugh out loud. I look forward to each and every episode, you’re a delight the pair of you. I thoroughly approve of all the works you’ve done so far. Xx

    You have charming personalities, how nicely you interact with one another, how you narrate what you are doing, and of course your skills in renovating.

    Wow, now I understand why this work doesn't get done on some buildings that need it. It's intense and expensive unless you can do it yourself, and even then it's not cheap! Having to pay tenants for displacement in apartment blocks is also an issue. We've had several older buildings "collapse" in the last few years in the US, where the fascia bricks came away. Scary!

    Incredible series, stone construction is such a different world to what I know of lumber builds! I’ve been curious since you started to address the sagging wall facade, do the anchors and fixes you are doing pull the facade back to the wall or do they simply stop it from slumping more?? Also to echo many others, the dynamic you two have is so good and comes across really well on camera, wishing you all the success from Canada 😄😄
