You should be so bloody proud of yourself mate. Such a huge accomplishment. Now the hard part's over and you can enjoy the fruits of your labour. Keep it up legend.
Great content. I can remember as a kid (I’m 50) Dad straightening walls with a tomahawk by hand except back then framing was made with green hardwood so it made it extremely hard yakka I reckon he’d have loved an electric planer. Great house. Regards Duzzy
Exactly that's a dream to have a home just like some 90's cool movies with the cool main actor living in what was then called a old factory or warehouse converted as a drive in shed slash home....so great to be living your dream 👍👏👏
Great job, mate. Such a huge accomplishment. That's exactly what I've always wanted to do. I'm 64 now, and a bit past all the hard work it would take. But I honestly hope you and your family enjoy living there as much as I would have when I was younger. Cheers from Central Vic.
Congratulations mate and man I feel the same way about the trades they do a shabby job that’s why I had to force myself to try to do everything ,because I know I will do it right God bless and may you have many wonderful memories in your home
Great vids mate! Just for reference for next time you build 😉 Always place joinery on top of tiles! You don’t want to install joinery and then screed/bed around it as the moisture inside the bedding will cause the joinery to rot! It makes it very difficult to remove joinery when bedded and tiled around! Food for thought mate! All the best 🤙🏼
This is 100% correct. that tile screed will be full of water in 2 months and that joinery will be buggered. Joinery is always installed after the tiling
@@AusAdventure Tilers are generally only good at one thing. Tiling. dont take building or joinery advice from a tiler... Just tiling and screeding advice.
Mate great job, well done. You've literally just completed my dream. I live in the UK and dream of doing this in Aus. Missing your fishing videos. Thanks for sharing and all the best in your new place.
Congratulations mate! You have your own slice of paradise and a great set up to enjoy! What a mammoth effort to take on a lot of that work yourself in order to save $. Inspiring stuff mate. 👏 🎉🤙
I ended up spending a lot more than I thought so unfortunately I still ended up with a mortgage but only a small one so hopefully won’t be long and that mortgage will be gone. More money for toys then. 😁
Ive done a few Ronno's. When the gyprock goes up you think you've broken its back, but thats when the real work starts. Well done to you. you should be proud of yourself. @@AusAdventure
Word of advice from a cabinetmaker……. Wait till everything in the bathroom is done. Tiles layed, grouted etc. not a great idea putting cabinets straight onto bedding. But your place still looks amazing! SHED LIFE DREAM !!
Thanks to everyone who has watched the build video. What it cost is something I get asked a lot so I have put a break down in the video description. Cheers.
Gold Coast and Good Tradies do not go together. I think almost all of the trade contacts i have are not local GC people, they have moved in from other cities. Currently going through a painful process of getting failed concrete stairs removed and refunded. Yay... This looks awesome also mate, amazing work!
Thanks mate. Yeah it’s hard to find tradies that take pride in their work. I found some real good one’s and some very average one’s during my build. That’s life I suppose. Thanks for watching the vid.
Well done mate , new subscriber to your channel but am watching keanly for whats next. The shed house costing would be very interesting too. Cheers from Melbourne.
Thanks mate. It cost more than I thought it would that’s for sure. I’m on a trip around OZ for 12 months and don’t have all those details but just for the slab, shed and fit out it was around 200k. Being to class 1a the prices go up. As for the shed builder I won’t be recommending them to anyone. If you follow me on instagram send me a private message and u will tell you more if you wish.
Hey mate just come across your channel, great work on the Shed house/Wild man cave 😀 Hard work and doing most of it yourself is so satisfying, even tho it can be a long journey, I wouldn’t worry about the Vanity to much, it can be done either way as long as it’s all waterproof ed correctly, the benefits leaving everything out and tiling first is if you ever need to replace the vanity you can do so without destroying the floor etc, great job tho mate well done 👍🍻🍻
Thanks mate, appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching the vid too. I’m hoping to turn the mezzanine into a real man cave with a bar and cinema at some point.
Great job mate, I have been thinking of something Shousy myself. It’s a credit to ya. Do consider some Solar & maybe a battery while the rebates are still ok as it can make a huge difference & also helps cool ur roof area with shading as an extra bonus, we noticed a huge difference in cooling over summer as it covers our main kitchen/living/lounge area which has an insulated Skillion roof over it. I have 10 kw of grid tied solar in Hervey Bay area + 30kWh battery and another 5kwh Hybrid inverter I set up that could run the house for 3-4 days. 320ltr HWS on timer 3hrs/day with the original instant gas system used as a backup, 3 x split Aircon’s, 4 x TV’s, 4 x fridges/freezers, lights, water pump & Microwave use about 20%-30% of battery each day/night. I charge the battery 100% from excess solar daily & get about $50/month back from power company, definitely worth considering, I got the cheapest on market at the time, they did a good job of installation & have not had an issue with it since installation 3.5 yrs ago. Solar & installers can be dodgy, but just because you pay more, it doesn’t guarantee a better system or installer unfortunately. Havta check out ur other vids. Sub n like. Cheers
Top Job Sir, After watching all your video, and reading your replies here you have excelled yourself ! You looked bloody tired towards the end, videos never show the sweat and tears. It's scenarios like yours and your families that deserve a FirstHomeBuildersGrant i reckon. 50K on completion of works and/or council fees/certs abolished to give you a pat on the back. ( no im not running for parliament lol ).. cheers From Sunny coast

Nice work can you come to New Zealand and build one for my mum she has land needs something like that cheers how much good surfing and 10 walk to beach
There are so many factors that determine the cost. On my site which was a difficult one it was $137k for the pad to be cut, slab and shed built. I guarantee it would be more now.
Awesome ! your family must be so proud of you. Do you have more videos of your build from earthwork, foundation, and Kit framing steelwork. I am still going through the planning phase. Currently, getting engineers planning approval through Shire. Please give me your link.Once again congratulation on your momentous achievements I humbly salute you. We Done!
Any chance you have a cost breakdown for this build? We are looking into building a barndominium style home. Trying to work out the best shed style to use and what some of the things to look out for and requirements that need to be taken into account. Would probably go a little bigger, but the definitely want the whole second mezzanine style floor space. Cheers.
You should be so bloody proud of yourself mate. Such a huge accomplishment. Now the hard part's over and you can enjoy the fruits of your labour. Keep it up legend.
Thanks a lot mate. Comments like yours definitely make me feel good about what I have done. 🍻
Aaahhh that reassuring statement: “That ain’t going anywhere!” ❤
Especially seems none of them are load bearing. 👍
Man what a legend you are I did floor adhesive tiles in 3 rooms so I appreciate your effort in doing the whole house
Cheers mate. Yeah bloody knees were killing me by the time I finished laying it.
Mate, what a video. I think this is the first of your videos I've watched. You've done an absolute amazing job. This is my dream. Well done to you
Thank you very much. It’s great to get good feedback after how much stress it put me through.
Great content. I can remember as a kid (I’m 50) Dad straightening walls with a tomahawk by hand except back then framing was made with green hardwood so it made it extremely hard yakka I reckon he’d have loved an electric planer.
Great house.

Thanks Duzzy. Yep the electric planner made it easy.
mate this was really impressive to watch, you should be really proud of yourself... 10/10
Cheers Scott. 🍻

Mate that was awesome and very inspiring you should be very proud
Thanks mate. Very stoked I did it.
An alternative to string line to holding up the insulation is blue packaging strapping, stapled to the timber frame. Works a treat.
Thanks for the tip. 🍻
Well done, mate. Stressful no doubt but I’m sure your family appreciates what you built for them.
It was very stressful but we are all happy now. Thanks for checking it out.
Top effort mate, came up mint. Can be a stressful process but its all worth it in the end.
It was very stressful but that is starting to fade now. Cheers 🍻
absolutley brillaint great job mate.
Thanks Gary. 🍻
Credit to you for such a mammoth achievement and doing so much of it yourself.
Thanks mate. At times it felt like it was too big of a job but I got there in the end.
Thanks for the video! Great job here I think you have done a great job. Beautiful area and beautiful home
Thank you very much!
Great job , ya cant go wrong with Rob , luddy and Isaac
Yep. The boys did a great job.

Couldn't agree more! Thanks mate.
Well done. Great job. Been there myself, so I know it can be stressful, but you can be proud of the results.

Awesome just what I want to build on the farm
Thanks mate. 🍻
That was epic, thank you for sharing. Amazing and thought provoking build.
Glad you enjoyed it. 🍻

Thanks mate. Hope you enjoy some of the other vids. 🍻
Nice work mate, came up great!

Cheers mate. It is great to have it done so I can get back to fishing on my days off.
I want to do the same thing one day. Go mortgage free. Love your work.
I ended up spending a lot more than I thought so unfortunately I still ended up with a mortgage but only a small one so hopefully won’t be long and that mortgage will be gone. More money for toys then. 😁

Word of advice from a cabinetmaker……. Wait till everything in the bathroom is done. Tiles layed, grouted etc. not a great idea putting cabinets straight onto bedding. But your place still looks amazing! SHED LIFE DREAM !!
Yeah thanks mate. I just didn’t get the right advice at the time. Risk of being an owner builder with stuff all experience.
im a tiler i agree its easier the replace a cabinet on top of tiles same for kitchen
Done well.
Thanks. 🍻
congrats you you legend 👏👏
Thanks mate.
Inspirational build 🎉
Thanks Ryan. 🍻
Good job buddy 👏 now we can fish up my way soon . Keep up the good work mate 👍

FANTASTIC EFFORT, Top of the class.!;-)

No sure what’s next. I’m on a trip around Australia so it’s all fishing and surfing for now.
Love the shed and videos. Could you please do a video with break down of costs? Who did you go with for shed kit? I am keen to do this one day!

Great job mate, I have been thinking of something Shousy myself. It’s a credit to ya.
Do consider some Solar & maybe a battery while the rebates are still ok as it can make a huge difference & also helps cool ur roof area with shading as an extra bonus, we noticed a huge difference in cooling over summer as it covers our main kitchen/living/lounge area which has an insulated Skillion roof over it.
I have 10 kw of grid tied solar in Hervey Bay area + 30kWh battery and another 5kwh Hybrid inverter I set up that could run the house for 3-4 days. 320ltr HWS on timer 3hrs/day with the original instant gas system used as a backup, 3 x split Aircon’s, 4 x TV’s, 4 x fridges/freezers, lights, water pump & Microwave use about 20%-30% of battery each day/night.

Solar & installers can be dodgy, but just because you pay more, it doesn’t guarantee a better system or installer unfortunately. Havta check out ur other vids. Sub n like. Cheers

Love it, my sort of place...

Top Job Sir, After watching all your video, and reading your replies here you have excelled yourself ! You looked bloody tired towards the end, videos never show the sweat and tears. It's scenarios like yours and your families that deserve a FirstHomeBuildersGrant i reckon. 50K on completion of works and/or council fees/certs abolished to give you a pat on the back. ( no im not running for parliament lol ).. cheers From Sunny coast
Thanks mate. I was bloody tired by the end of it. I lost weight from the stress of it all too. But I’m happy with the end result. 🍻
So good man
Thanks mate. Really appreciated your help.
@@AusAdventure all good. Imagine the videos you can make when we build your house 😄
No doubt all in hand, but just a few things to be mindful of.
As a habitable space you’d need:
Smoke alarm on the upper floor area
Maximum 125mm sphere to pass through any stair components and balustrade
Minimum -50mm step down to external paved surfaces from the main floor
Appears to be in a bushfire prone area so compliance with AS3959
Thanks for the tips. All that stuff is sorted. The bush fire compliance was a pain in the arse. Had to have extra flashings around the whole place so there were no gaps.
@@AusAdventure
Good luck with it all mate! 👍
nice job. fibreglass does not stop breaking down. I prefer wool bats.
Thanks. The batts were called earth wool. So not sure what the difference is.
@@AusAdventure ok sounds good.
Wonderfully thankyou
You are very welcome
Great job and outcome.
May I ask how you got with your building permit and the process required. Thanks
Thanks mate. It is the same process as any other house. I gave the shed engineering plans to a building designer and they then did all the floor plans and elevations. Once all that was done I engaged a building certifier who issued the building permit.
Coolest place...toy haven
Cheers mate.
Awesome job man, I feel your pain regarding poor quality trade work and just having to do it yourself 😅
Thanks Warren
Wow, that is inspiring! can I ask about the budget for such a project? we are building a 14 x 8 shed house with garage underneath.
Hi. All the info is in the video description. 👍
Nice work can you come to New Zealand and build one for my mum she has land needs something like that cheers how much good surfing and 10 walk to beach
Pretty sure I’m not doing it again. Too stressful. Thanks for watching.
top notch!
Thanks mate 🍻.
Hey mate, hopefully going to do a similar shed home. If it's ok to ask what would the same size shed cost fully installed. Love your work.
There are so many factors that determine the cost. On my site which was a difficult one it was $137k for the pad to be cut, slab and shed built. I guarantee it would be more now.

Thanks Pedro. Yes there are a couple of other videos on my channel which shows those other parts of the build.
This is my first vid, Living my dream mate...Shed over house priority......
Thanks for watching it mate. Shed is the priority 👍
I want that!
👍 thanks for watching the Vid Paul.
Great video!, what are the dimensions of the shed and room sizes and who suppliedtheshed
? Great job
Thanks mate. You don’t want to know who supplied it as I’m not recommending them. Shed is 19x9. With 4x7 patio. Liveable area is 7x9. 🍻
Sorry bud, do you mean livable area? And is that 7x9 added to the 19x9 shed or is 19x9 in total? 👌👌

Cheers mate. Mostly storage but do have a tv area and maybe a bar one day.
