    How many people have watched this video and then thought “that’s a piece of piss - I could do that!” and then realised you’ve made it look so easy with your hard graft? That summer house is done to a better standard than most of the new build houses and conversions where I live!!! 👏👏👏

    an excellent book if you are considering building a shed. While you may not choose to build one exactly as shown in this book ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxT9ExVpR-3A-9rpRqx8vzXKZ3BMMTg_KH , the information found in here would be useful in any shed building project. The information is well presented, with color photos throughout. As was noted in a previous review, though some dimensions are given, the complete plans must be ordered elsewhere. I ordered the plans for the gambrel shed and did notice a few discrepancies between the book and plans however.

    These are great tutorials, you explain not only how you go about doing things on the build, but just as importantly why you do what you do, this assists people greatly. You also seem multitalented, plastering is not easy, I can never get it right. I'm from New Zealand, and we probably wouldn't go to the trouble of skimming the entire walls and entire ceiling down here. Looking good.

    I am ashamed to say this but I have only just come across your You Tube Channel, I wish I had known about your channel when you started 3 year ago, what a great channel, I have watched so many videos of builders etc, but its always rushed and you never get all the little details that makes all the difference when building, but how good is this video, not only explained what your process of building is, but also why you build the way you do, which is something you hardly get from other channels. I have got to go through your other videos, I know how much work it takes to film, edit and upload videos I don't think people that watch videos know what's involved, but if you can to make other 2 hr videos showing start to finish in such detail that would be amazing.
    I got to praise you on your channel my friend, its going to help me with my own projects on my own house, keep up the great work and the videos and wishing you all the success for the future.

    Best 2 hours I have spent on UA-cam in a great while. Lots of grand things learned and I am mighty impressed. For what it is worth, I have built a lot of wooden constructions, many M2 of buildings on our small farm and constructed a roof on a Brick House built by a builder for us as well as constructed all the interior walls, ceilings and front deck and flat roof prior to paying a guy to do a sandwich board roof. All of this in Portugal without any previous experience. Did Ceiling Plastering in a previous house from scratch. I also did all of the electrical wiring, switches and lights... pretty easy stuff. You know the score, "Learn as you go". HOWEVER Groovy Dudes, I have learned a great deal from YOUR video and think that you blokes have done a smashing job. So thank you kindly. I am, much obliged. Kind regards, Kevin
