Please get rid of the music. You can barely hear them talking.

If you must have the music overpowering the voices, at least provide closed captioning.

I love this series, but the previous commenters are correct. The sound mixing is really poor with the music track being so loud that it is sometimes hard to discern the dialog. There is a need to "go back to the drawing board" on that. I finally just gave up on this episode not too far into it.

[HereYears]

I'd love to finish watching this, except I can't hear anything they're saying. Tone down the music!

[kjwhitty]

Love these shows, however, the music is so loud and overwhelming I'm watching with the sound muted.

[ffoeg]

yes. unwatchable with the music track so loud.

[mourningdove]

Music is way to loud it covers up main vocals 😪

[larryarmer]

I agree with everyone else. The sound mix needs to be adjusted so that the “background” music doesn’t overpower the commentary. Really hard to concentrate, and the story is definitely more important.

I'd of kept the windows until after it was restored and replaced them as I had the money for better windows.

I love that they were able to cut the stone to be installed back onto the floors

Music is very unnecessary but the finished home was amazing

[bg]

Just started but I would keep it one floor. It would be grand. It could be a huge open area with a living room, dining room, kitchen, rec room, bathroom, etc. The beams are rather low on the 2nd floor, but they are lovely.

How could they possibly think 60, 000 pounds was enough for the restoration of this HUGE building?

[marypearling]

:I absolutely loved this episode. Even with the lengthy decision on window design, I think this couple hit the jackpot. Excellent !!!

[Dayesleeper]

Its a beautiful building and I do agree with the editing of the video: music is way too loud. Couple of concerns with the design: 1. Everyone can see you sitting on the toilet through the window or shower 2. the shower that was shown, would allow water to run right down one of those window & floor openings causing water damage in the future 3. no safety measures in girls room to prevent them from falling down the gap between window and floor.

[jimcooksey]

I get that the windows are not a period match!
But they are in and energy Leave them alone till they have the money to replace them!

[tauceti]

The music is lovely but it's just a bit too loud on this one. The Reel Truth History Documentaries are really great and I enjoy watching them!

[SuperTROOPER]

Am I the only one concerned for the children's safety when it comes to that gap between the windows and the second floor??? Is there anything stopping them from falling through or getting stuck between floors in those gaps?

[apeaceablekingdom]

I thought it was just my own system that sometimes distorts the sound, but it appears that others are complaining about not being able to hear the narration over the music. It would be so nice if you could correct this and release it again! Thank you for such an interesting program, but such a shame that the words are often lost when there is music... What an incredible transformation! How amazing that they kept their vision, and tenacity to see it through. It is just exquisite!

[llijable]

The loud 'music' is ridiculous. Can't hear a word.
