@@startmaking1 ive just found the video thanks just watched a couple. it really is fantastic. ive added the budget video to watch later playlist so i will get to watch that later tonight hopefully. thanks for the reply
Can’t beat watching a guy go ‘fuck it, I’m gonna build a cracking big structure’ and then just does it. Chuck a bit of rock audio over it and it’s enough to earn a new subscriber. Top work 👍🏻
What I like the most about this series is, that you kept your struggles and problems in the videos and explained yopur train of thoughts to find a solution. Also, just like I would, you went massivly overboard with how sturdy you build this workshop.
I dont seem to make anything without mistakes and difficulties, ITs annoying but satisfying at the same time. I definitely went belt and braces on the build. Probably cost £3k more than just doing it how I originally planned.
To complete all of the actual workshop build, on your own, in a little over three week, is a remarkable achievement, Mark. Really now looking forward to see how you kit it all out. Glad to hear you're putting up French cleats. Can't beat them. Are you keeping much of the old shed. Those drawers are a must keep. An upgrade on the workbench should be a priority. Anyway, have fun doing it. You deserve it.
Thank you James. Feels like a lifetime ago now looking back. I love French cleats, so far from the most efficient storage option but so much fun. I miss the old shed so much lol. I will keep the drawers and the jigs etc that I made but apart from that , oh, and the useful French cleat holders. But apart from that , I will be making the bench and some more drawers over the coming months. Going to be a lot of fun.
This is one of the best workshop/garden rooms I've ever seen on UA-cam, so detailed that I think anyone with a little confidence can definitely take this challenge on, really well done .
Wow, thank you. My theory is, if I can do it, most other people can. A lot of trial and error here. I will talk about the mistakes and possible savings on the video that I will release next week on costs.
Well done. That’s a fantastic job you done there. I’ve got a concrete base laid, I’m looking to build a shed. This one may be a bit out of my league though.
And now the fun of the interior work begins. If you put as much thought into this as you did the exterior build I'm sure you'll end up with a super organised workshop. Nothing like a clean slate to do such a thing. Looking forward to the next "series."
@@startmaking1Tell me about it. BTW Temu are great for stocking up on hardware, especially obscure stuff which is what I am concentrating on at present. Then, of course I have to find somewhere to put my latest acquisitions.
A cracking new workshop in less time than it takes for a cup of tea to go cold... can't be bad mate. I followed you all the way through on this build, awesome work and a fantastic result!👍👍
Nice one, Mark. It must be really satisfying to revisit the whole experience in one short video (but I bet the edit was a pain). You can be mighty proud of your work. I recommend the detailed build videos to any who haven’t seen them - especially if you think building something like this is beyond you. It’s probably not. Mark learns as he builds and shares that with you (but get someone to hold your ladder!! 😂) Looking forward to seeing some new projects coming out of that shed.
Hi Roger. I have finally started the backing for the French Cleat wall. It's been a really long time coming. You know, this edit was actually not too bad as I just cut from already edited videos. In truth, it would have been better if I had gone back to the original footage but that would have taken weeks. This is one of those videos that will never get a lot of views but will always give me pleasure to watch. I dont watch the others once posted but this is like a photo album of the build. I appreciate the recommend. And I am glad that the videos portray what was truly happening. I felt very much out of my depth, but you are right, knee pads and a helper next time.
Brilliant to watch the whole build in 1 video. I need to re watch part's or the series again as there are a number of tips and ideas I hope to use in my build. Well done, it looks so fantastic.
Editing the interior as we speak, so close to finishing the video. It will never be finished inside but it is already a lovely place. Makes the pain worthwhile. And thank you. Each comment you and others have made, has kept me going.
Looks a lot easier in hindsight doesn't it. It's a beautiful workspace, Mark. We're proud of you! You will enjoy it for years to come (or, until you want a bigger one). Can I nit pick? I will only if you allow it.
You should probably knit pick on the videos you have suggestions on. Watch the detailed videos and see if those suggestions get mentioned. Mark has already addressed some of the things he did and has said he would do some things a little differently if he had it to do again.
Oh I know that feeling. Water tight is the main aim right? I had to double down the motivation. after doing the roof. Im not that bothered by the look of the place but then, as I make videos I felt I had to finish it as best as I could. What I see of yours on inst, it looks really cool. A space perfectly made for creating.
Hi Mark, This has been a brilliant build project ,I have enjoyed watching workshop been put together each week threw the summer I do remember when you were fitting the rubber roof in that heat and applying the rubber glue and your roller failed ( Gutted ) I think you were ready to pass out. It's done now and you look back on what you have done ,you should be proud of your self, I'm happy for you, well done mate you have done an amazing job. Catch you soon Take care🔨🪛🪚😁👍
Hi Shaun. Funny how long ago all that stress feels. Amazing how we move on so quickly to the next thing. Im now elbow deep in sawdust again and very happy. Had to do a quick project with my hand tools as I was getting withdrawal symptoms lol.
great video, im thinking of a project like this myself, i like the how you did the concrete slabs with a frame, top idea, also showing how you used basic tools to assist when you need a pair of hands to hold things in place - great work
Wow, Mark! Very nice, well done! 😀There are a few things that I want to correct on my workshop and you gave me more than a few great ideas. Thanks for making and sharing this video!
I guess I know you probably have a video in the works which will go over the financial side of a build like this (Maybe not with 100% details), but am really intrigued to know the cost difference between this work and say a fully manufactured prefab building. I can't imagine to guess how proud of yourself you are for pushing through this build - you absolutely should be - this is something to be truly proud of - I'd be so excited every time I go in there..(apart from judging every thing I thought could have been better - believe me, it's not worth that - look at what your capable of!)!
Thank you so much. I plan to be as transparent as memory and the paperwork I have allows. hard to know exactly how much a prefab would have been as there are so many companies and I could never have gotten one into my garden but it will be an interesting excercise for sure. I really want to know how many screws I used.
That is a very nice looking workshop 🔥. Great job on the build 👍. This one will be more enjoyable to work in I’m sure. I’m happy to see you get this upgrade. Now onto shop layout and organization and new projects 😀. I will be tuning in. Congrats
Not missed it . Will be out in 2 weeks. I am just editing. Seem to have slipped behind the schedule, hence this video this week. Bit of a space filler. I was waiting on the electrician to finish before releasing the interior video but he has been delayed so I will just get out what I have.
Good Job. Some minor points: you got the flashing around the windows out of sequence. The header flashing should have been after the side flashing. Flash from bottom up. Need drip cap flashing at the window heads and doors. Would have used another flashing pan (self adhesive tape, full sill depth) at the window and door sills. Housewrap not adequate as window flashing. Use an insect screen at bottom starter row of the rain screen (in the gap. Not sure if you edited that step out.) ; caulk the corner where the siding butts into the corner trim. Nice touch to add the Rain Screen, as it adds insulation and sound attenuation, prolongs life of siding (if the flashing doesn't fail.)
Nice build, I built a 30sqm timber framed garage on my own during lockdown, I still wonder how the hell did I do that, this reminds me of so much of my build. Congrats you done a great job. Subbed.
Cracking montage m8 if only it had of gone up yhat quickly abd easily 😂 been fantastic build series youve done well with it u should be proud of it. 🏴👍
Hi Adam. Great question, I have been promising a cost video with a full review and I am starting to plan it this week. I had reasons like no garden access except through house that made making one the only choice but I hopefully will get the costs together so you can make an informed choice. One thing I will say is that this was fun despite how the videos make it look and I could really customise the size to suit.
Don't you wish construction went as fast as this video shows! Do you know about how much time you have in this project or like me, you probably didn't keep tract. You got a nicer, bigger shop than you had & you're to be congratulated for building it ground-up by yourself. It even looks professionally done in the videos. You'll enjoy working in that shop.
Wouldn't it be wonderful. Not exact time for the exterior but from the end of laying the pavers to finishing the outside cladding was 3 weeks 1 day. Wish I had counted the hours. There is one issue that has arisen since building and it is not huge. Just a bit of water leaking in around the doors. Apart from that, not bad.
@@startmaking1 cheers mate, much appreciated. I moved house over a year ago, so hoping to build a new workshop and get back to making content. Keep smashing it and look forward to seeing more of your stuff.
A second chance at the build. So soon after building this one I dread the idea of building a second but in a few years I think that a chance to do it with experience would be a good thing. Hard work though.
@@startmaking1100% agree. It’s definitely hard work, but after a nice long break I’m looking forward to making improvements and setting myself some new challenges. One challenge I’m hoping to do is a room within a room at some point, as I’m hoping to build one part for woodwork and the other for making and recording music. All a pipe dream at the moment, so might not happen.
Thank you for posting this recap! I was starting to have withdrawal symptoms from not seeing a new video from your channel! 😂😂 What was it? Like 6-8 weeks of hard labor? All reduced to 11 minutes. Amazing! Excited to see what you do with the inside! What I really want to know is, how many bottle of Ibuprofen did you budget into the build and how many did it actually take? Did you go over budget on the joint pain meds? 😂😂
From finishing the pavers to the last cladding going on was 3 weeks, 1 day. preparing the ground was longer but that was because I took my time as planning had not been accepted. I wish I had counted the hours. Seeing it in a short video is very strange. As for pain, uncountable pills. Though, now, a few months later, I have gained the weight I lost and lost the muscle build from lugging everything down the garden . Shame.
Especially impressive when you remember it was an done on your own. Great job mate. Are you planning on giving us the costs in a future video? I'd be interested
Boss mate well done would say add a little guttering at the back with the water pipe just going into the ground away from the wood. How much in total did this cost you? Want to do something like this myself to put a little gym in and golf equipment 💯
You are right, I actually just finished the gutter but still have nowhere to direct it. Need to get a butt next. Cost comes out next week. Plus some savings and lessons learnt as I went a fair bit over budget.
Hi! This is a great high quality build! I do have a question about rain/water removal. I've always been taught that you should use gutters to move water away from the foundation of your building to prevent erosion and related damage to your foundation. Obviously since you weren't using a single slab of concrete for your foundation I think that's less of a concern, but do you think gutters or a french drain around your foundation would help with that? (forgive my ignorance if this is a dumb question)
It catches my attention. How do they build?. Where are you from?. In Argentina, before building, the entire surface is dug about 30 cm or more deep, iron rods tied together are placed forming a large grid, it is filled with a mixture of cement, sand, water and broken stone and freshly When that subfloor has set, it continues with moisture-insulating layers and finally tiles and walls, etc. Question... Is their structure not deformed and do they not have humidity problems? Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina🇦🇷!!
Hi. Thank you for reaching out. I wish I could have dropped a concrete slab but as I explain in the next video about the costs of the project, I just couldn't because of lack of access. Shame really. But so far no issues.
Would be very interested in the build cost approx. I’m currently looking at something similar but an L shape. Tried wickes for materials and it was eye watering.
I am going to do a full breakdown, it was not cheap. Mainly because I went overboard on the materials a little and built it belt and braces but also the timber prices. I will outline areas of savings that can be made.
Just want to know what straight edge you use for cutting boards with your jigsaw/circular saw Make and model number would help plus where you can get it Found your UA-cam channel and now retired and need a hobby lol Great videos 👍🏻
Hi Dave, Thank you for reaching out. It really depends on whether I am cutting full length or not. For cross cutting, so across the ply board, I use a long ruler that I go cheap from amazon. Something like this amzn.to/493i04o where I separate the cross piece and use the longer one. But for full length I actually cut a length off the ply board and use the factory edge as a straight edge guide. Chances are it is straighter than anything I have that length
There is a full video on it but it came in around £11k. But there are loads of savings on the video you can make. Also check out Sumeray builds. He did one this summer that was better value.
lol, thank you. You know, I hate having music on videos now, this one I didn't know what to use. The choice is poor on YT for what music you can use and I am yet to figure out the free music providers. Shame as this video has just taken off out of nowhere with a load of new views. Appreciate the feedback.
@@startmaking1 So you know it was not a dig at you, I enjoyed it I am intrigued on how your going to fill it up and with what, so I have subscribed . Keep up the great work buddy. All the best. 👍
Dont worry, I honestly took it as constructive. I am still new to all this and need feedback. Any feedback that starts with 2 nice compliments is always taken the right way. Thank you for subbing. Appreciate it
I dont know if I did it right but the whole structure is raised on the rubber pads that I stapled under the floor frame, and then the insulation is sealed under the OSB that makes the floor. So the void under the insulation is all ventilated.
Roughly how much on materials to get to this stage? I did a smaller version a while ago on a concrete base and two courses of engineering bricks to start the walls. I scrounged most of the materials but have to buy now. TIA
Really enjoyed this series of videos - thanks Mark. WIll be using as the guide to building my own. Can I ask a stupid question. I'm thinking of using ground screws. when you put the insulation in the base do you need to put anything to cover the underside? thanks
Not a stupid question. And I am not an expert but I didn't. I guess how you do the underside depends on the area you are in. Im lucky, walled garden means no wildlife to climb under and eat out for their next. But I just made the frames based and then filled each void with foil lined foam and then taped it to make it as air tight as possible. Nothing under that but as much air flow as possible. I hope that this helps.
@@startmaking1 oh they have come down sure but still no where near what they were. I used to be able to buy a sheet of plywood for the cost of a freaking 2x4. A as in *SINGULER!* We built a fence that we did the calculation for before the rise and paid almost 5x the cost. But the dog needed a fence so it had to be done. We paid what a company quoted us at to have it built and that included supplies. Regretted not having them build it.
Liked and subscribed - great work and actually well filmed. One question I do have (as someone with little experience), not sure if I followed correctly but it felt like there was no pitch at all on the roof for run off. I assume this is fine?
Hi Frank. Thank you for watching, liking and subbing. Very much appreciated. It looks shallow to flat but there is a 10cm rise from front to back. It is gentle and I have no idea how it will ever deal with snow but that is next years issue it seems.
Hi. For the timber I dont. I was just buying it as and when I needed it from the supplier. All the smaller items should have links in the description. The rubber roof is from rubber4roofs . Any specific questions let me k now and I will do my best to answer,
Please consider subscribing if you enjoyed this video. Full costings video is on the way.
Turn it down then.
@@mikerichardson7038 I can't control the volume on your YT Mike.
how much in materials ?

@@startmaking1 ive just found the video thanks just watched a couple. it really is fantastic. ive added the budget video to watch later playlist so i will get to watch that later tonight hopefully. thanks for the reply
I can not stress how much I enjoyed the sheer level of over engineering which went into this. Doing it properly.
I have to be honest here. It is the only way I felt comfortable building.
@@startmaking1 Personally agree, always better to do more than less.
@@startmaking1 I agree. As an architect of 35 years, it's not "over engineering, nor over building", it's called quality and best practices building.
What about air flow underneath the deck. This will rot.
Can’t beat watching a guy go ‘fuck it, I’m gonna build a cracking big structure’ and then just does it. Chuck a bit of rock audio over it and it’s enough to earn a new subscriber. Top work 👍🏻

You got a nicer, bigger shop than you had & you're to be congratulated for building it ground-up by yourself. It even looks professionally done in the videos. You'll enjoy working in that shop.
Wouldn't it be wonderful. Not exact time for the exterior but from the end of laying the pavers to finishing the outside cladding was 3 weeks 1 day. Wish I had counted the hours. There is one issue that has arisen since building and it is not huge. Just a bit of water leaking in around the doors. Apart from that, not bad.
Awesome stuff!
Thank you. Just watched your build speed run. Looks like an amazing space too.
@@startmaking1 cheers mate, much appreciated. I moved house over a year ago, so hoping to build a new workshop and get back to making content. Keep smashing it and look forward to seeing more of your stuff.
A second chance at the build. So soon after building this one I dread the idea of building a second but in a few years I think that a chance to do it with experience would be a good thing. Hard work though.
@@startmaking1100% agree. It’s definitely hard work, but after a nice long break I’m looking forward to making improvements and setting myself some new challenges. One challenge I’m hoping to do is a room within a room at some point, as I’m hoping to build one part for woodwork and the other for making and recording music. All a pipe dream at the moment, so might not happen.
Dreaming is where it starts.
Never seen rubber roof on youtube before, that's interesting. I wonder if it last longtime ?
Its life is supposed to be 10 years more than asphalt but that's just what I'm told. The rest of the workshop will probably fall down first anyway lol
Oh no music 🤪💥 great job tho, well done 👍🏆🇬🇧
The music was a mistake. lol. Thank you for tolerating it.
@@startmaking1 cheers. The shed was great. Good work. 👍🏆
Awesome!!
Thank you
Thank you for posting this recap! I was starting to have withdrawal symptoms from not seeing a new video from your channel! 😂😂
What was it? Like 6-8 weeks of hard labor? All reduced to 11 minutes. Amazing! Excited to see what you do with the inside!
What I really want to know is, how many bottle of Ibuprofen did you budget into the build and how many did it actually take? Did you go over budget on the joint pain meds? 😂😂
From finishing the pavers to the last cladding going on was 3 weeks, 1 day. preparing the ground was longer but that was because I took my time as planning had not been accepted. I wish I had counted the hours. Seeing it in a short video is very strange.
As for pain, uncountable pills. Though, now, a few months later, I have gained the weight I lost and lost the muscle build from lugging everything down the garden . Shame.
Especially impressive when you remember it was an done on your own. Great job mate. Are you planning on giving us the costs in a future video? I'd be interested
Thank you Chris. The money video will come out but I want to get it right. Spoiler, I aimed for a £6k budget and went over.
@@startmaking1 ouch but looks like you've got your money's worth
Im not too unhappy. To be honest, some decisions to spend more were based around upgrading the strength of the build so that is fine.
Boss mate well done would say add a little guttering at the back with the water pipe just going into the ground away from the wood.
How much in total did this cost you? Want to do something like this myself to put a little gym in and golf equipment 💯
You are right, I actually just finished the gutter but still have nowhere to direct it. Need to get a butt next. Cost comes out next week. Plus some savings and lessons learnt as I went a fair bit over budget.
@@startmaking1 brilliant looking forward to the cost 👍🏻
Hi! This is a great high quality build! I do have a question about rain/water removal. I've always been taught that you should use gutters to move water away from the foundation of your building to prevent erosion and related damage to your foundation. Obviously since you weren't using a single slab of concrete for your foundation I think that's less of a concern, but do you think gutters or a french drain around your foundation would help with that? (forgive my ignorance if this is a dumb question)
Thank you. I have since fitted a gutter to the back of the building to remove water from the roof. And not a dumb question. I nearly didnt add it.
Looks really solid. Are you at all worried about the windows as the wood expands and contacts through the seasons though?
I am now lol. No, in truth I think it is OK. But I'm no expert.
It catches my attention. How do they build?. Where are you from?.
In Argentina, before building, the entire surface is dug about 30 cm or more deep, iron rods tied together are placed forming a large grid, it is filled with a mixture of cement, sand, water and broken stone and freshly When that subfloor has set, it continues with moisture-insulating layers and finally tiles and walls, etc. Question...
Is their structure not deformed and do they not have humidity problems?
Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina🇦🇷!!
Hi. Thank you for reaching out. I wish I could have dropped a concrete slab but as I explain in the next video about the costs of the project, I just couldn't because of lack of access. Shame really. But so far no issues.
so nice
Thats kind. Thank you.
Amazing job how big was it and how much did it cost to build the whole garden room?
there are accurate details in the costing video but around £11k and 16foot by 12 in size. And thank you.
Brilliant workshop build, cheeky question I know but roughly what was the material cost ?
Thank you Steve, you are in luck. I have just totted up and will put a video out in a couple of weeks.
Would be very interested in the build cost approx. I’m currently looking at something similar but an L shape. Tried wickes for materials and it was eye watering.
I am going to do a full breakdown, it was not cheap. Mainly because I went overboard on the materials a little and built it belt and braces but also the timber prices. I will outline areas of savings that can be made.
can i just say u r crazy
Feels that way looking back. At the time it felt ok as I was just doing a step at a time and not looking too far forward.
Just want to know what straight edge you use for cutting boards with your jigsaw/circular saw
Make and model number would help plus where you can get it
Found your UA-cam channel and now retired and need a hobby lol
Great videos 👍🏻
Hi Dave, Thank you for reaching out. It really depends on whether I am cutting full length or not. For cross cutting, so across the ply board, I use a long ruler that I go cheap from amazon. Something like this amzn.to/493i04o where I separate the cross piece and use the longer one. But for full length I actually cut a length off the ply board and use the factory edge as a straight edge guide. Chances are it is straighter than anything I have that length
How much did it cost you to build this ? Love it might consider to build one for myself.
There is a full video on it but it came in around £11k. But there are loads of savings on the video you can make. Also check out Sumeray builds. He did one this summer that was better value.
Wow!
Thank you
Hey Mark.Great Video, Awesome workshop build, Aweful music though. Drove me nuts, Had to turn the volume off and watch the video,
lol, thank you. You know, I hate having music on videos now, this one I didn't know what to use. The choice is poor on YT for what music you can use and I am yet to figure out the free music providers. Shame as this video has just taken off out of nowhere with a load of new views. Appreciate the feedback.
@@startmaking1 So you know it was not a dig at you, I enjoyed it I am intrigued on how your going to fill it up and with what, so I have subscribed . Keep up the great work buddy. All the best. 👍
Dont worry, I honestly took it as constructive. I am still new to all this and need feedback. Any feedback that starts with 2 nice compliments is always taken the right way. Thank you for subbing. Appreciate it
Hope you don’t mind this, but how much roughly did it cost to build that? Looks awesome btw 👍🏼😊
Not at all Robert. There is a video of broken down costs. came in at £11k. Savings are there if you know what you are doing unlike me.
How did you ventilate the underside of the floor? Or was there a DPM put down that I missed?
I dont know if I did it right but the whole structure is raised on the rubber pads that I stapled under the floor frame, and then the insulation is sealed under the OSB that makes the floor. So the void under the insulation is all ventilated.
Hope you don’t mind me asking but how much did the project cost? Thinking of making my own but don’t know wether to buy a pre made one or make my own
Hi Gareth. The follow up video is out with the full breakdown .
Full length videos of each stage are now up on the channel and in a playlist that I will link in the description.
Фф
Great job.
Material cost ?
Top off my head I cant remember but there is a follow up full cost break down video on the channel
Awesome job man👌🥂🍺 can you tel measurments please
Hi. Not a problem. The overall size is 4.8m by 3.6m by 2.4 high.
How long did it took you to build all that?
And money spent on building it?
Hi James. there is a video outlining it but top of my head £11k and 28 days.
@@startmaking1 oh ok good to know thanks
How much did it cost i to make shed including ALL materials . Would really like it on my yard !
Hi Brian. I will do a full break down video in the near future.
Roughly how much on materials to get to this stage? I did a smaller version a while ago on a concrete base and two courses of engineering bricks to start the walls. I scrounged most of the materials but have to buy now. TIA
I cant remember off hand but there is a costs video that I released a few months ago;
Really enjoyed this series of videos - thanks Mark. WIll be using as the guide to building my own. Can I ask a stupid question. I'm thinking of using ground screws. when you put the insulation in the base do you need to put anything to cover the underside?
thanks
Not a stupid question. And I am not an expert but I didn't. I guess how you do the underside depends on the area you are in. Im lucky, walled garden means no wildlife to climb under and eat out for their next. But I just made the frames based and then filled each void with foil lined foam and then taped it to make it as air tight as possible. Nothing under that but as much air flow as possible. I hope that this helps.
thanks Mark - really helpful - keep the videos coming - love them
@@startmaking1
thanks for getting bac k to me - really helpful and sorry for my delayed reply.
@@startmaking1
Before COVID cost : $1000-1500
After COVID cost : fuck that
Lol, I thought prices had come down a little but this was not a cheap build. Though some of that was my lack of skills.
@@startmaking1 oh they have come down sure but still no where near what they were. I used to be able to buy a sheet of plywood for the cost of a freaking 2x4. A as in *SINGULER!* We built a fence that we did the calculation for before the rise and paid almost 5x the cost. But the dog needed a fence so it had to be done. We paid what a company quoted us at to have it built and that included supplies. Regretted not having them build it.
Now then bud, I’m after building something similar. What’s the damage on that style build?
Mine was belt and braces so came in pricey . Circa 11k. But there is a full cost breakdown video on the channel. Hope that helps
Top man, only started watching last night so will binge watch 👌 looks spot on so far
Liked and subscribed - great work and actually well filmed.
One question I do have (as someone with little experience), not sure if I followed correctly but it felt like there was no pitch at all on the roof for run off. I assume this is fine?
Hi Frank. Thank you for watching, liking and subbing. Very much appreciated. It looks shallow to flat but there is a 10cm rise from front to back. It is gentle and I have no idea how it will ever deal with snow but that is next years issue it seems.
Great video. Terrible choice of music
Could not agree more, thank you.
Amazing! What are the dimensions? Thanks
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. The shed is 16 foot by 12 foot
How much $$ and time did this take?
Hi Carol. The next video in the series outlines cost. Timing wise it was around 28 days i think. Average 6 hours a day.
very helpfull wer building to your video. manyn thanks for your prodject on the net. any chance of a wood squair.
If you are in the UK bud pop me an email to startmaking2022@gmail.com with your address and I will see if I have a couple of spares.
Awesome music
Lol. Yes, sorry about that.
Do you have a supplies list?
Hi. For the timber I dont. I was just buying it as and when I needed it from the supplier. All the smaller items should have links in the description. The rubber roof is from rubber4roofs . Any specific questions let me k now and I will do my best to answer,
You don’t need the music for your videos. Nice shed though
Yeah, sorry, I cannot change it after it is uploaded. It is a watch on mute kind of video. And thank you.
Sorry mate but what's the need in the negative haha if you don't like the music mute the video it's that simple
How much were all the materials and how long did it take you to do
Was the cladding overlapping?? I just cant tell from the video.
Yes, it was feather board. There is a video just for that part on the channel.
Good video, music would burst your arse though.
could not agree more. thank you
