I SOLD EVERYTHING… London Terraced House to Living in a Tent 

LOL You paid a youtuber? Mate you shouldn't be allowed to control your money.

I think the majority are irritated by the radio silence when it comes to abandoning his goals, combined with the "I never abandon a goal" type of mantra he's been pushing since the start. That combined with pushing his (paid) newsletter and "you can be just like me" attitude, a lot of people think he's a bit full of it.

Yeah, this is a lesson in how not to run a youtube channel. What a mess.

Is he still alive? His been missing for awhile without posting. Perhaps his passed away? Maybe..

​@@prodical666 Maybe, how to get subscribers but not keep them😂!

He decided to go skiing. Give him a break.

@@serpserpserpis he still skiing?

I'm watching a guy trying to sell me on his Patrion as he cuts through the cord on his circular saw😂!!! Yeah, that's the guy I want to take advice from😂!!!

Hmm, don't hold your breath.

I have a feeling he didn't own the terraced house

Owned with two others

He sold it in October 2022 for £1,530,000 (it took me 5 minutes to find this). i think his videos might be coming a year later but the months are still correct. Not sure. In any case he did own how else would he do the massive renovations project he shown in full. Everything he shown checks out with the data available online. I feel like he will make a video about this anyway.

@@zosiaz98 Hey mate, where did you find that info. Is there a video I missed?

listen to yourself! complaining about free content! So what if its therapy or self validation? Its his journey and he's sharing it with us. Do you want the moon on a stick?

@@toastingbread Are you telling me we shouldn't provide criticisms when criticisms are needed? So we just let the guy repeat, repeat, repeat the same words over the same content? The guy had promise, he showed it at the start of the channel. If he listens to his audience he might be able to get back on track... if he listens to you, he will become the same old parrot.

@@prodical666 if the boy is putting in the graft to make these vids, build a house, and then edit and upload these videos then listening to his story and hearing about his newsletter is a part of how hes funding this - Just ignore it if its not something you're willing to pay for or it doesn't resonate with you. I'm also renovating a house and doing a full time job, i know how much work this all is. The fact that you say 'I don't mind you taking a break.' that's the real problem. You're not his boss, this is free content - you're an addicted consumer of his good nature and time taken to provide this content. Of course his plug for substack is annoying but if it helps him to share building work details and his ideas with the community, then its no more annoying than ads on youtube or posters in the street. Think about the worth of his content to you. I've learnt more from Chris's videos than i have other builders channels and i hope he does get some money to continue for all this. The fact that you're willing to unsubscribe but check back in a few months! Why even write that, it says you want him to continue but with less support from you! His story is part of him, i love his passive editing, comical rambling VO's, and has a good mix of mistakes, he's driven, educated and helpful. If he disappears for a month then i know its a tough graft - hes probably burnt out. The repeating his story could be for new comers to his channel and is a big part of his inspirational hype. Nothing to freedom through being his own boss. Something we probably all aspire to and why we watch his content. Easy to hate, but its a better world to live in to appreciate things.

We've all done it. 😆

To be fair, he did say, close friend (maybe partner?) had to have a leg amputated, day before xmas.

I heard that and my enormous sympathies to that person. I'm sure there's a reason, and I'm not looking to judge why he missed a deadline (I do it every day) , I just want to know the good, bad and the ugly of this guy living my dream, while I fanny around at my desk job that I hate. You can still bring the rest of us on the journey, without sounding like a broken record, and still keep some of the more niche interest stuff for paid subscribers. I wanna see Chris & his channel succeed but damn if I'll be listening to the same motivational spiel repeatedly for much longer.

NOBODY LIKES A SNITCH

LOL!

So what ?

He hinted in the news letter that youtube was black listing him so he stopped posting and offered up a patreon for £10 a month or £55 month if you wanted the surprise that he's been working on in secret.

@@etypiccolo LOL

he moved to patreon and came back because nobody subscribed

@@thebox8924. I subscribed, I’m prepared to give it a go and see how it works out.

Sounds like it doesn't it. Can't believe he's paid £300 for a tent, a caravan would have been better imho, at least it has a bathroom & cooking area.

Because it was sold a year ago.

not a chance, you'd need to put away the better half of 9 months if you'd like to do it properly. I plan on making a tiny house myself, so i have nothing against you or the idea, but we need to be realistic

@@user-hw6ft9uu6w it’s something he said in a previous video, suggesting start to finish could be done in 30 days if working on it full time and he thinks for around £20k.

ive seen skilled youtubers build tiny houses in around that time, usually a little longer but if ur skilled and full time its definitely possible to build a water tight solid structure with foundations. everything else, electrics, plumbing, interior etc takes a lot longer. u can build a large wooden shed like chris has done very quickly, but building a legitimate tiny house is not quite as simple.

I think he only had 2hrs a day after his other job

​@@mrwickenz589it's not rocket science. 30 days if your organised + practical knowhow would easily achieveable although the work not. If you don't have the practical knowhow you can't be as organised and can't commit your time effectively. Would give 2 months for a hard worker to do the same job.

Mate I was beginning to think the same and commented as such and ran into your comment... Glad I'm not the only one who thought the dude was slightly on the spectrum.. there's something rather strange on how he's put up a vid being so non chalant and acting as though nothings happened.. even when admitting he didn't make the target he just skipped to his skiing trip without any sort of explanation or anything...

You'll get deleted!

Here before this comment gets deleted haha

@@mc1703 it's absolutely pathetic, just noticed he's deleted the community post where he tries to get people to pay to read why he left for ages, complete lack of respect for the fans who watch his videos

Absolute cowboy just using the channel to shill his substack and patreon, it's a shame I was enjoying the channel before

Glad someone called out the paywall

I wouldn’t bother watching him. He’s a con artist

What channel ?

@@samuelclarke5104 Check out @TheDIYguy1 and his workshop build series. Lots of other great stuff on his channel too!

What channel pls?

@@samuelclarke5104 looks like my reply got deleted. Check out @theDIYGuy1 and his workshop build

@@DemiABrown Check out @theDIYGuy1 and his workshop build

quit his ‘job in finance’ (spoiler: never happened) making high 6 figures a year to be a youtuber begging people to subscribe to his £5 newsletter… very believable. in reality his brother tim is the one who works in finance and chris is the rich kid who cant be bothered to make a proper living and wants to ski and sell shite in order to get by. not like hes struggling for cash but its not cash he made himself either…

Some people are new viewers, give him a break

@@mactutorials761nailed it man, he knows what makes people tick. Everyone’s been taken for a ride.

I’ve said it before, but he could be opening himself up to a fraud charge if he’s selling his newsletter off the back of false claims. Would people be willing to part with their cash, if they knew he was faking his backstory? Doubt it.

Rich kids don’t work 9-5s. He was born 3-0 up but thinks he scored a hatrick. Feel sorry for the mugs who bought his newsletter!
