There were no new uploads this week. Instead, "The Only Thing Holding Up The Roof Was DIRT..." remains the archive's busiest attraction, having reached roughly 112,000 views. Its description reports that the roof shifted an inch during the work, turning vegetation removal into something considerably more consequential than tidying a wall.
The episode also finds room for smaller discoveries. Among the ivy is a ceramic insulator stamped GPO, a trace of the building's utility connections. Newly accessible scaffolding lets Zac tackle the chimney growth, before a safety harness comes out for work on the damaged roof. The vlog includes a sponsored heater segment.
Viewing across the channel is slower than usual, and subscribers stayed unchanged over the week. Nearby in the home-and-DIY group, Reserve Home - Mallory Fletchall had a particularly busy week, while Kurt's Pressure Washing also recorded no subscriber increase.
Behind the roof episode, the workshop renovation and council-update upload is drawing the next-largest daily audience. The workshop may be finished, but the school above it leaves plenty of work on the list.
