Planning to do a build in the next year or two. Researching starts early. :) Absolutely adore all these fantastic videos.
Cheers for taking the time to message that fella! You’ll love doing the build!!! They are such good fun!!!! 👍
Thanks Stevie….really liking the longer format and great to see how things are done by just one person. Enjoy your weekend 👍
Cheers buddy!! Yeah the longer videos I can cram more stuff in which I think people enjoy. And these things can easily be built solo. But the occasional spare pair of hands does come in handy lol
Man, your videos are awesome, super detailed and instructive. I'm planning to renew my shed myself and I can definitely use your videos to guide me, as this is a totally new journey for me.
Cheers for the lovely comments fella!! So so chuffed you find them useful!! If you get stuck with anything just ping me a message and I’ll try to help where I can 👍 Good luck 😉
@@TheHomeRenovationExperts thanks a lot, I'll definitely ping you 😉
Alright mate, enjoying your content. If you throw a bucket of water in the mixer first, then add your gear, it stops any of it sticking to the bottom of the drum 👍🏻
Hello Buddy!! I'm so gonna try this on the next one!! You get so used to doing stuff one way you just keep repeating until someone tells you otherwise! And I'm always up for learning new stuff!! ;D
@@TheHomeRenovationExperts enjoying your content mate. Keep it up
BRO! Thank you for this vid!!
Glad you had a good laugh on my last comment haha 😉 and again another great video. Microphone much better as well. 😊
Hello Lee!! Im soooo chuffed the mic worked as all I did was plug it in and didn't set anything up so figured it probably wouldn't work lol :)
Thanks for making these videos Steve - incredibly helpful and thorough. We’re planning our 4mx3.5m build this year. We currently have a concrete base that is 4.8mx2m. Instead of extending it or demolishing it, we were thinking of using the steel rod method in this video for the front 2m of the room, and putting the back wall on the quick jacks you used on a previous build. That way we can level everything and it would save us having to extend (doubling) the concrete base. Any reason why we shouldn’t do this?
This will work a treat!! Does the concrete base have rebar in it and at least 6” thick? If so you are good to go buddy!! And glad you like the videos! Cheers!
Great stuff 🙏👍🏻
Cheers fella!!! Glad its coming in helpful!! :)
Add a water and cement first, then add ballast and more water mixes far better and does not cause an unmixed lump at the back of the drum. Never put any tools in a moving mixer unless you want a broken thumb! Or worse
Watcha Gary!! Cheers for this fella! This is why I like doing these videos as you get so used to doing something one way until someone takers the time to say there may be a better way! I shall try this on my next build :D
I’ve seen so many different ratios for concrete mix but noticed early videos of Oakwood Garden Rooms and yourself using 3:1 ratio. Is this sufficient and strong enough for the rods as planning doing my own build in the summer. Loving all your videos by the way and noting down lots of advice.
Hello James! Yes matey 3:1 is spot on and never had a problem ever! It’s the poor guys who use post Crete I’m scared for lol 😂
Steve, slide some waste pipe over the rod before putting in the concrete. Then the thread stays clean.
Gary you are a start! I'll be giving this a top as well! You have to be in the trade as well?!
@@TheHomeRenovationExperts in my younger days Steve, I still get my hands dirty and do all my own work, inc friends and family between my real job ;) some lovely work you are turning out. Stay safe
Do you use 30nm or 40nm cement with the ballast?
Hello James! I use the normal blue circle stuff so whatever that is 👍😝
@@TheHomeRenovationExperts Yeah I know which one you mean. Thanks for getting back to us.
First off. Sound is much better well done. Can hear you wherever you are. Second off. Please don't ever try and film yourself with one hand putting the stick in the mixer. Yeah i know you should never put a stick in the mixer but we all do it. But please don't try filming yourself with one hand while doing it. It really can seriously injure you. I know I sound like an old granny but I saw a bloke do that on site and it snapped his arm. Keep up the great videos.
Hello Whippy!! You are off course 100% correct! I do know better but sometimes I just get carried away with the video lol I was just demonstrating how not to do it lol :D Hope your well fella!!
Hi mate,
Diameter of holes please?
Depth of holes please?
Size of threaded rod and where you purchased please?
And finally, what are the little square plates called that go into the concrete on the threaded rods please?
Sorry for the heap of questions (you could always say this stuff as your going along lol!!?)
And I'd find it really helpful if you filmed the bags of cement and ballast so we know exactly what you used.
(I think I'm going to get told off now!!)
Great, great channel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you watch the previous video, most of those questions are answered. Worth watching.
@@patrickloftus
You're right! Thanks for that 👍😊
As Patrick pointed out, you covered all my questions in your previous video! 👍😉
So I'm going to tell you off (again) for not numbering your videos!
(All written with a smile mate 👍 😊)
Hello Ursa!! lmao I have now begun making sure that the video thats playing has a link to the previous one. And don't apologise for the questions! I like questions! Hope your keeping well fella :)
@@TheHomeRenovationExperts
That's excellent mate. It goes without saying that we love all your free advice, and hope you always know that my questions are all written with a smile. Many thanks! 👍👍
