It is always a joy to see that people love their job especially this roofer guy laying the ridge tiles. He probably did it a thousand times and still paying attention to detail although nobody will notice
The care taken on the ridge tiles! A pleasure to watch. Home stretch is always a dangerous time for me - don’t rush your fences is hard to remember as the finish line gets closer.
Hope you start to feel better soon, James. That's been a big project (I think!) and you really deserve a good rest. The indefatigable Roger will keep you going!
Sorry to hear your not well James and I hope your back to your normal smiley self soon. The job seems to be going well mate and fair played to what you said about finishing one project before starting your next, that's the sign of a good loyal and honest person and builder! We will all be looking forward to it you've set a high mark to beat with this one. 👏👏👏
Wish I had such great tradesmen on my extension that was completed last year. 12 week schedule only took 9 months! Had to redo every piece of second fix woodwork myself such was the bodging, all their plumbing leaked, not a straight wall in the place. 120k for a 4 meter extension! Those roofers are incredible with the cowboys my builder employed every bit of mortar on the roof caps, hips and valleys has cracked from arseholes to breakfast time and is falling out, I ended up going around with tubes of clear silicone trying to seal it. Finished up kicking them off site in the end when they tried to change my VAT for a porch that was quoted for in writing including VAT. Get well soon James you have many admirers of the quality of your work 👍
@@Tommy-on6sl it certainly wasn’t the cheapest quote and the builder was recommended by the architect. Who was recommended by a relative. Should probably also mention that this was for a single story extension on a bungalow!
Poor old James, hope it's not after-effects of the Jab! ... I was well dodgey after mine way back in February, and still not right .... My daughter, (about James age) also been suffering since hers several months ago..... Seems to hit people differently, as other members of the family perfectly fine .... Keep on keepin on James :-)
Yeah on second look it is black dye sorry. I bet that roofer has got some stories would love to see more of him. Must be bedding those ridges by eye to match in with the existing wayneyness of the reclaimed tiles for effect from ground level.. If not roger needs to buy him a string and level.
Here in France I would like find a place to working like you!! As a carpenter we must go faster everyday and sometimes without the nicer quality of working!! But I'm serching and hope to find it!! :-)
Think everyone has had that thing James had. I was the same for weeks. Think these supply issues are gonna last for a long time. Less choice not necessarily a bad thing
Get well soon James. If you're not already doing so get a supply of Vitamin D3 to bring your immune system up to scratch in the absence of usable sunlight during the winter months. 25 microgrammes a day should help every grown UK adult defeat all kinds of viruses and bacteria. Maybe Roger will do some research and report back on the value of Vitamin D3 to the construction industry.
Ah, poor old James, he looks proper washed out😢There's a pretty nasty bug going round at the moment and I was out for 8 days with it recently so I know how he feels🤗Take it easy James🤩Jobs looking great😎
@@SkillBuilder Throat tightened up Thursday evening, then Friday felt really tired then as the days progressed, headache a little tight chested and the oddest taste/sensation in my mouth and tongue. All the time really tired, and by day 5 or 6 developed a bit of a cough, and came out of it on day seven, almost immediately but still have a weird taste/tongue thing a little😬 No where near as bad as flu but twice as bad as a proper cold but without the flehm. I've heard of loads of people who've had it as well.
I binge-watched all episodes over 2 days and thoroughly enjoyed them. But what a pity the series ended on a low note with James looking ill and defeated. I understand he has recently found himself a job with another company. I think an explanation of how you can be very skilled and have plenty of work in hand, but still be stuffed by economic conditions would be an informative video.
Hi James You have let the cat out of the bag. We are due to do this video on Friday and you are right, it is a story that needs telling. We couldn't release the information ahead of him changing jobs.
@@SkillBuilder Oops, sorry, I got so entranced by the videos and full of admiration for James and his participating tradesmen. My heart sank when I didn't get the chance to see their fantastic workmanship. Now I must subscribe!
That’s a beautiful job! I take it the client wasn’t living there during the build? How long did this take you? Did you only take this job on last year? I find it impossible to earn enough money on big jobs like this as they take a long time.
@@SkillBuilder I took a similar sized job on which we are in the final stages of completing now and I have lost money. In order to earn a profit the cost of the build to the client is so so high now, it actually scares me
james is a thoroughly decent guy hope he gets better soon been working himself to the bone on this build

Man! those roofers as so good! It’s a pleasure working alongside them. They have forgotten more than I know about the building trade. Legends!
I wouldn’t think twice about picking your brain Ian there’s plenty in there mate✊
@@lynnegiles2293 there is loads in there! Just no use to anyone, or me for that matter 🙃
@@iantarncarpentry4285 😂😂
All the best, James. You deserve it for your very positive attitude.
What an amazing professional bunch of tradesmen. Absolutely first class. Hope you improve soon James. Best wishes.

cracking roofers, lovely to see it done old school.
get well James iv just gone through the same something in the air mate.

Superb job James, and that roof looks like it grew there!
Be well James! Enjoyed the video. Thanks. 👍🥰
Love these vids. Great guys with huge amounts of experience & skills. They make it look easy.
I love traditional classical builders. The day is never boaring
Boring
@@SkillBuilder I really enjoy your videos. But what is borring?
I just realised I made a spelling mistake. As in boaring a hole lol. Thank you for correcting me
And hope you get better soon James 👍👍love seeing you pop up on skill builder
Hope you feel better soon James💪Great work to date 👏
Get well soon James buddy 🤒🧱👍🏼
James looked fit to drop! Hard going this time of year on site. Hope he pulls himself together soon and is back on top form.
James not feeling well but still smiling 🙂 hope you feel better soon 👍🏽
Another useful video guys. Get well soon James. I do like the where's james intro !!
Hate to see you not well James hope you get well soon.
get well soon james
Wish I had a building firm like yours round my way, unreliability is second nature to them.
PS, hope you get well James, 👍👍
Look after yourself James 👊

That’s what you get when you go for the cheapest quote

These weren’t builders. They were taking their time, measuring things and using tools other than a hammer.
Get well soon James.

Mortar for the ridges looked a bit strong but what an oldschool mint roofer. Wish there was a series just about that guy.
Looks like black dye in the mix to me buh

Used black sand it goes off like concrete costs a bit more but lasts tried and tested trust me. Always trust a roofers eye!!
Get well soon, James.
Hope James feels better soon! Whole teams doing a pukka job as usual

@@thetallcarpenter too bad Del, glad that you had been active again this week, hopefully James is happier next week. Good weekend y'all
@@TomsTimmervan So do I, as he really looked out of sorts 😪
Chin up James!
Take some Metatone Tonic with a protein drink James (morning break or lunch)...that should help keep your strength up. :)
have they got the same heating as my car on that scaffold? one half in Honolulu & the other in Iceland!!!
Can you do a video on what to do when a customer refuses to pay for work done even though the work is good?
th-cam.com/video/5yOkfcK3UU8/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/EWD33iLzGCk/w-d-xo.html

1st comment whoop! Nice job James and crew
Anybody else think "no don't stand on them" at 1.30🤣🤣
Hang in there james bad juju on the airwaves.
👍
Doubt I'll even get a box of ring shank nails now you've mentioned Champion on Skillbuilder!! 🤫😂 You clearly need a bit of R+R James! 👍😵

Hi James
You have let the cat out of the bag. We are due to do this video on Friday and you are right, it is a story that needs telling. We couldn't release the information ahead of him changing jobs.
@@SkillBuilder Oops, sorry, I got so entranced by the videos and full of admiration for James and his participating tradesmen. My heart sank when I didn't get the chance to see their fantastic workmanship. Now I must subscribe!
That’s a beautiful job!
I take it the client wasn’t living there during the build? How long did this take you?
Did you only take this job on last year?
I find it impossible to earn enough money on big jobs like this as they take a long time.
Jack You are a prophetic. James has lost money on this one.
@@SkillBuilder I took a similar sized job on which we are in the final stages of completing now and I have lost money.
In order to earn a profit the cost of the build to the client is so so high now, it actually scares me
Why can't I find builders like this!
Look down the back of your sofa
@@SkillBuilder what ?
your looking in the wrong place, the only problem is that they are not a lot of use to you as they are all in the churchyard!
James needs a couple of hot toddies with some brandy 🥃 and a good rest!
Is this the extension above the garage? This channel is so confusing to find the next video, there not in order, just random?
Bit late to this video. Hope James is fully recovered, he didn’t look well , looked like he’s lost a bit of weight .
Is that best practice?
I don’t get it, I’ll pick up a sheet of mdf and turn it into what ever moulding you need, come on you to you made window sashes with a domino jointer
What a juxtaposition one guy using something you know will last 50 years minimum , the other guy using something you hope will last 6 months🤔
James needs to chill out, much too much quality workmanship has been produced recently. Rest required.
That "Wheres James" looks awfully fake. :(
yes it is. We had to get his stunt double in becuase he wasn't feeling well
All these new builds are shit prison builds. I bow to Tartarian style. Extra ordinary
