I have to say! Lately the videos have been more digestible! GREAT balance of talk and "doing". Absolutely love it. Great progress! You look like a professional doing this.
I bet Tom is worth his weight in gold; adding another brain to problem-solve, bringing some industry knowledge and just a bit of company too. It’s looking great and such a great project to watch. Amazing work 🎉
Just want to say absolutely loving everything you’re putting out, can’t thank you enough for all the knowledge I’ve gained over the years from these videos. I know you give loads of info out on these videos but it’d be amazing at the end of each stage of the project and maybe one massive video at the end to put together a video breaking down every element of the decision making and process for all the bits of the build that could be replicated in a typical own build, materials, methods, insulation practices etc.. I know I would definitely be happy to pay for such a resource, I know the world is full of them but an online course type thing would go down well I think, you’ve got the audience right here waiting for it! Cheers!
Glad it helps. Unfortunately I only really share what I am learning myself so wouldn't want to put some sort of 'ask the expert' hat on! That said, always happy to talk through how and why we are doing things the way we are, just try to avoid the How to Do It type content! Likewise always happy to share bad decisions too.
Maybe some discussion videos just talking about what you’ve learned and justifying why you chose what you chose etc.? More just thinking of having everything like this in one place, I think it’d be a super helpful resource. I still go back and rewatch your garage conversion/loft insulation videos to refresh the theory haha
I've been following for a long time and really glad how things have grown for you and the family. The Barn Build is amazing and shows just how quickly things can develop. Only a suggestion, but might be worth while showing a pictorial plan view of where you are working soon as the space gets split into different areas? Keep up the amazing work and thank you for the entertainment.
Loving see the progress. We have watched you from the beginning of your channel. Cant recall a video about who Tom is and how he become involved. Or is that being nosey!!
Good to see rapid progress. Don't get to clever at it or you may get additional work to do. By the way am no buyin that excuse/reason for bringin in the table and chairs. That will be for the well deserved carry oot at end of shift. By the way the work ethic shown by the two of you and the unsung hero's in the background is to be admired. See you in the next one. 👍
Is it tempting to bring in some external help? I know it's tricky giving up control at times but would be nice having a chunk of progress in a week or so.
Really interesting way of building and am enjoying watching it all come together. QQ about the blown insulation. If they're cutting into your airtight OSB to blow into each cavity how do they seal those holes back up? Is it potentially introducing lots of points of failure for your air tightness layer? thx!
Very exciting stage. When it comes to the insulation being pumped through, out of interest, will they need to make a hole into every cavity in every wall? Looking forward to that process
Historically you always seem to have done well sourcing materials from auctions. Is it a local auctioneer to you, or do you use sites such as bidspotter etc? Keep up the good work.
Really seem to be getting the walls up for insulating with a good working system. Interested to see how the power cabling and other services will be installed as not seen any first fix in the walls. Is there another internal skin to go.
Just taking a guess here on the 625 CtC measurement: for stone or glasswool insulation rolls or matts 600 wide installed in between 25mm wide non-load-bearing studs or in between 25 mm wide battens screwed against studs or some system like that. Just to use most of the insulation that comes in 600 wide, which is actually only usefull for building 600 on center systems when installed in between steel C-studs (being hollow).
I'm still confused about the blown insulation. Each void looks like it is sealed. Do they need to drill a hole into each and every space? Recycled paper, how do they make that fire resistant? Really enjoying you build 👍
This was just a random lot in a farm auction but usually facebook tends to be good for building materials. Although better for smaller projects where you can make use of someone elses over ordering.
Great video as always but if this building doesn't cost 10 grand a year to heat, I'll be amazed. It's just so big. Maybe you can move some cattle in for some passive heat gains :)
With all the back & forth to get the plans approved, what inspections do you have to pass (open wall, electric, plumbing, etc.)? I seem to recall one for the foundation trenching.
I saw a nail spacer being used between 2 panels under a window but notice them used elsewhere. Is an expansion gap necessary between OSB panels? Really moving along now, Tim. looks great.
I believe there will be a service cavity installed. So some sort of batten installed on the airtight OSB which will give a gap to run wiring and plumbing, then plasterboard/finish material over the top of that. Tim did something similar in the cabin build if I remember correctly.
Do you do anything special between the concrete and the green boards? Are the Factory edges pre-sealed, do you have some dpc or is it perhaps not needed?
They are 5mm off so we will seal that gap when we done airtightness details. That said, the concrete is all above DPM/DPC so will all be dry, especially once heating pipes on.
Did you consider making the roof over the garden room glass or even electric shutters? It would enhance the psace in the summer months. Hanging vines from the steels maybe?
Our first plans had no roof over that and a balcony for upstairs. In the end we were only permitted 2 large velux but still need to be careful with overheating so will see how it does this summer.
Egger also have a plant in Hexham, Northumberland and another in Scotland. Perhaps your boards came from there. (I used to live near to it). I think Egger is Austrian, but I could be wrong :)
Have you had any visits from the planning authority? It would be good that after all the planning delays they could see what is being achieved and maybe learn something.
Assume you have designed a deflection head on the timber panels under the rafters and purlins for snow load, a portal frame that wide I would expect to deflect >50mm.
This "garden room" is technically an outside wall. It's under the roof but the walls are being built in the same way as the outer walls. After this, all the outside walls are complete. Any openings in perimeter of the building now, are for glazing (windows and doors). Correction: I believe there's still some work to be done in the pool room? But that's odd own issue? I might be wrong about that.
All these need to be done before we can tape up and start on first floor. The last wall needs some blockwork still so was waiting for weather to warm a little so starting next week.
Lots of concerns and questions in the comments so made a video to answer them. 👍 See it here ua-cam.com/video/Sj9cfvp6j90/v-deo.html
I have to say! Lately the videos have been more digestible! GREAT balance of talk and "doing". Absolutely love it. Great progress! You look like a professional doing this.
I appreciate that! Hard to get a balance. Don’t want to just show the build and no explanation, (that’s what Grand Designs is for.) 😂
I bet Tom is worth his weight in gold; adding another brain to problem-solve, bringing some industry knowledge and just a bit of company too. It’s looking great and such a great project to watch. Amazing work 🎉
Must feel great! I love reaching that stage of a project where it starts to feel more like what you're going for.

od patrzenia serce rośnie. Greetings 👍
So much done and so much to do but great progress and high quality build. 👏
Definitely moving in the right direction - amazing what some wall cladding does - almost looks like you could move in. Great teamwork.

Yes there will be more on floor plan in the future however you can always pause the intro to see the rooms in the graphics.👍
Looking good, progressing fast now you are inside
Woah, suddenly it looks like a house! Well done Tim & Tom
Loving see the progress. We have watched you from the beginning of your channel. Cant recall a video about who Tom is and how he become involved. Or is that being nosey!!
A local friend who also happens to be a chippy. Although he is a like minded DIYer so thankfully a swiss army knife of skills!
A very satisfying stage for the build, lovely to see your happiness at the progress. Well done Tim and Tom, masterbuilders!
Really happy for you!
its such an exciting build tim anyway but this stage that you're at just seems... ooooh soooo exciting... be well much love xxc
Really starting to take shape 👍 well done.👍
Wont be long before it becomes the family crash pad, bbq outside. Great progress, thankful your not working alone, well done Tom, safety in numbers.
Looks excellent. Tom must be a godsend!
It's coming along very nice mate....👍👍👍👍
Flying up now 👏
Amazing how a wide angle lens distorts at the edge. Great work guys.👍
Good to see rapid progress. Don't get to clever at it or you may get additional work to do. By the way am no buyin that excuse/reason for bringin in the table and chairs.

looking so good 😊
Thank you 😊
Looking great guys - lots of good progress. Keep up the good work.

I love the green board, very satisfying. You may have explained it before but what about 1st fix electrics - are they surface mounted.
Very exciting stage. When it comes to the insulation being pumped through, out of interest, will they need to make a hole into every cavity in every wall? Looking forward to that process
Looking amazing. It’s going up so fast.
Amazing 🎉
15:01 workshop starting to take shape 😁
Gasp. Another big transition among many! Roof. Floor. Framing. Brown board. Now green board.
Historically you always seem to have done well sourcing materials from auctions. Is it a local auctioneer to you, or do you use sites such as bidspotter etc?
Keep up the good work.
Really seem to be getting the walls up for insulating with a good working system. Interested to see how the power cabling and other services will be installed as not seen any first fix in the walls. Is there another internal skin to go.
Yes all internal like the cabin's service void. All will become clear soon I hope!
Just taking a guess here on the 625 CtC measurement: for stone or glasswool insulation rolls or matts 600 wide installed in between 25mm wide non-load-bearing studs or in between 25 mm wide battens screwed against studs or some system like that.
Just to use most of the insulation that comes in 600 wide, which is actually only usefull for building 600 on center systems when installed in between steel C-studs (being hollow).
Great progress - when’s first fix going in?
💯👍👏 Great progress. Wallpaper up by Easter weekend!? 🤔🤣😂
I'm still confused about the blown insulation. Each void looks like it is sealed. Do they need to drill a hole into each and every space? Recycled paper, how do they make that fire resistant? Really enjoying you build 👍
Probably easier to explain all in a separate video but a cellulose supplier like Warmcell's website would probably explain better. 👍
You will soon be in!
How are you keeping an air tight seal between the roof beams and side walls of the garden room?
Your attention to detail is great!
Details to follow... May be changing garden room to sit within the airtight envelope after all now.
I'm wondering: how are the electrics going to be done after the insulation? Cool series btw. Looking out for every episode. Thank you.
hya can you make your videos long its looking good
What auctions do you look for stuff on? I’ve not had much success
This was just a random lot in a farm auction but usually facebook tends to be good for building materials. Although better for smaller projects where you can make use of someone elses over ordering.
Looks good. Do your walls need a deflection detail at the head?
Stud walls have been designed to sit tight and strengthen roof/frame.
Great video as always but if this building doesn't cost 10 grand a year to heat, I'll be amazed. It's just so big. Maybe you can move some cattle in for some passive heat gains :)
It better not. 😬 The heat demand is pretty low now, main risk will be overheating in summer but taking steps to sort that.
With all the back & forth to get the plans approved, what inspections do you have to pass (open wall, electric, plumbing, etc.)? I seem to recall one for the foundation trenching.
Just regular building control checks at each stage.
I saw a nail spacer being used between 2 panels under a window but notice them used elsewhere. Is an expansion gap necessary between OSB panels? Really moving along now, Tim. looks great.
Just knock a 3mm nail in against the edge of each board and pulled out after. The boards are undersized to allow for 3mm both sides.
Tim, do you manage to switch off at night??
Having carried out projects myself it can be very over consuming
Surely with all of that green OSB/Medite you’ve got to take the opportunity to record some green-screen video?
Maybe a stupid question, but what about first-fix wiring and plumbing before panelling both sides of stud partitions?
I got a bit anxious watching it thinking of the first fix! Maybe surface mounted?
I believe there will be a service cavity installed. So some sort of batten installed on the airtight OSB which will give a gap to run wiring and plumbing, then plasterboard/finish material over the top of that. Tim did something similar in the cabin build if I remember correctly.
Yes, this. 👍
Do you do anything special between the concrete and the green boards? Are the Factory edges pre-sealed, do you have some dpc or is it perhaps not needed?
They are 5mm off so we will seal that gap when we done airtightness details. That said, the concrete is all above DPM/DPC so will all be dry, especially once heating pipes on.
Tim, you and Tom are the proper dream-team. So cool to see the great progress! Can't wait to see the polished floor vid!
Did you consider making the roof over the garden room glass or even electric shutters? It would enhance the psace in the summer months. Hanging vines from the steels maybe?
Our first plans had no roof over that and a balcony for upstairs. In the end we were only permitted 2 large velux but still need to be careful with overheating so will see how it does this summer.
@ that’s a shame the planners refused your original plans.
Will they be required to hole saw every void/stud void (ie. every 600mm)? How do they close the 60-70mm hole afterwards?
Airtight patch. Bonded like the tape we will do joins with.
Egger also have a plant in Hexham, Northumberland and another in Scotland. Perhaps your boards came from there. (I used to live near to it). I think Egger is Austrian, but I could be wrong :)
Yeah I think flooring is made here in UK. These particular boards had Made in Germany so perhaps different sites for different products.
Hi, what are your plans for the ceiling?
Have you had any visits from the planning authority? It would be good that after all the planning delays they could see what is being achieved and maybe learn something.
Will you eventually do a blower door test?
👊👍
I might have missed something in previous episodes but what about electrics
All within a battened service cavity on the inside of the OSB. Same as we did in the cabin build
Assume you have designed a deflection head on the timber panels under the rafters and purlins for snow load, a portal frame that wide I would expect to deflect >50mm.
Stud walls all designed to be load bearing so tight under steelwork. Hence why all internal walls line up with the frame.
hi guys
what auctions do you buy your materials from?
I bet when you relax in your temporary home at the end of the day you must feel so claustrophobic. 😅😅
Let’s just say it feels cluttered quickly especially this time of year with 5 pairs of boots by the door.
Maybe obvious but am I missing something? If all boards go up now, how will the wiring get put behind including all the insulation there.
Keep the green, its a great finish as it is
You will be in by Easter 🐣
Which year is the only question yet to answer 😊
Are you able to give us a cost so far? 👍
Electrics? Running cables in walls etc
All to be run inside of OSB.
@@TheRestorationCouple????????are you grooving the osb with router then put the plasterboard over the top
The whole perimeter wall will be battened off to create service cavity, same as we have done before.
Just wondering why you are working on the internal walls when some of the outer walls are still to be done.🤔
This "garden room" is technically an outside wall. It's under the roof but the walls are being built in the same way as the outer walls. After this, all the outside walls are complete. Any openings in perimeter of the building now, are for glazing (windows and doors).
Correction: I believe there's still some work to be done in the pool room? But that's odd own issue? I might be wrong about that.
All these need to be done before we can tape up and start on first floor. The last wall needs some blockwork still so was waiting for weather to warm a little so starting next week.
Great progress. Q… what’s the date on the project plan when the tools are all packed away and the ribbon is cut ?
No target at all, just doing what we can when we can. Hopefully finished externally this summer and then indefinite second fix marathon! 😂
Did you speak about wiring yet? Expected you to leave the walls one side closed the other open for “1st fix” 🤷🏼♂️🧐
Not yet, all to come. 👍
