THREAD [1/10]

This is Nick Knowles. ( @MrNickKnowles) He’s a rugged, happy-chappy, heart of gold, presenter of DIY make-over shows in the UK.

Including a show called DIY SOS.

Look at him!
Now DIY SOS is a show where Nick and his team recruit friends, family, local traders and companies to help transform a home of an unfortunate family in Britain.

The houses they build on need a lot of work sometimes due to a sudden life-changing incident to someone living there.
Watching the show, you can barely get through an episode without crying.

Like this family...whose house was rebuilt with a conditioned clean air system, downstairs bathrooms, etc as the the little boy, Arlo, has a lung condition so rare it's never been seen before in the UK.
What makes this show so amazing is that these transformations are done in crazy short time frames. Weekends sometimes.

And these quick turnaround times are only possible because of two reasons - money and personnel.

Both of which are 100% volunteered to the project. Good eh?
Local Construction companies selfishly give :
materials
staff
money
equipment

But also their:
knowledge
dedication
experience
expertise

...just to turn these people’s lives, which have been unfairly destroyed and disturbed, back to normality again.

God love you, DIY SOS
Surely it’s not safe to build a house that quick? I hear you say.
The won’t know what materials they’ve used?
It might fall down!!

It won’t. The same stringent regulations and testing is done - just on a mass mass MASS scale.
This amazing show, which brings light Into the dark for so many, builds the impossible, safely, in such incredible timeframes

- is the reason that every one of you should have the COVID vaccine when you can.
Yep it might have been built quicker than any other vaccine - but it’s only because of a mass collective effort never been seen before.

Just like DIY SOS.

Also, they do know how it’s built
They do know it’s safe
They do know it’s going to improve your life

Just like DIY SOS.
Incredible professors, scientists, technicians and medical professionals have worked above and beyond and given their

knowledge
dedication
experience
expertise

to produce something that could save your life, your love-ones life, little Arlo’s life, and even Nick Knowles life.
Your life has been unfair this year, so demolish it, and let kind, clever, reliable, hard working people rebuild it for you.

You’ll never know how lucky we are.

If Nick says it’s ok, it’s ok.
If the scientists say it’s ok, it’s ok.

Thank you Nick Knowles.
Thank you.
