      @@drivewaylife he’s right mate - what an inspiration you are to your family and anyone watching. Your children seeing you graft is a great lesson to them and they should (and no doubt) will be incredibly proud of you. Your babbie is a little cracker (and your older daughter) as well btw congratulations

    You need to put a lean-to up so you can work in all weathers. Shouldn’t cost to much and you could put curtains around to protect you from the wind and cold. Also add lights so you can work when dark as well 👍

    You asked about polishers.... I can recommend the in2detailing forced rotation polisher. Won't stall, but does slightly pull your arms away from you. Not a problem once you've learned it on the rear left hand side door. Very good cut, depending on your pads.

    Just a personal criticism.
    I don't like TH-camrs that bang on about likes, subs, and comments within the first 5 minutes of an upload.
    Let me watch the upload. Then I'll decide whether i want to leave a comment or like the upload.
    I'm not knocking you. I just personally prefer if youtubers asked at the end of the tiles upload!!

    • @drivewaylife
      @drivewaylife  9 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      I get that and bigger youtubes can get away with that approach,
      Unfortunately If I don't ask I don't get and majority of people don't watch to the end,
      I know it's begging but it's only through people subscribing I can grow the channel to make it worth spending 15+ hours a week filming and editing,
      That said I do agree 👍

    • @5tevenH

      @drivewaylife maybe word it differently at the start of the upload then. Something like "if you watch until the end of the video and you like what you see, please consider a like, comment, and subscribe"
      It encourages people to watch until the end and it doesn't feel like begging
