I particularly enjoyed watching you moving tiles between wheelbarrows ;)
Haha one didn't have a wheel on it 😆
@@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT haha, I guessed as much, but couldn't resist :)
I find these sorts of things therapeutic. They’re helpful to relax in bed :)
You do your videos however you want. It’s your channel.
I’m looking forward to starting my own, and have endless footage, but I want to get so far in the process before putting vids out.
But things are slow when you work full time nights and rely on having energy after work to crack on, and the weather when doing external work!
Btw, 38 now and noticed a change in energy, even though I’ve never drank or smoked. But sadly I did lose most of my hair by 24, so don’t have to worry about that any more 😅
It's great to see this channel growing, Aiden.
I’m on the driveways and patio landscaping Facebook group, and it’s full of grumpy old experts with nothing better to do than critique and mock other peoples work.
With regards to the acer, it looks like it’s dried out for a spell, hence the die back. I would mulch the soil with compost and feed liquid seaweed to help the roots along but go easy on the feed for the rest of the year. Find a more shady sheltered spot for it too. It will come back fine and you will be able to take cuttings or air layerings to make loads of them.
I'll have to look up how to take cuttings, good idea 👍🏻
I want to see it all. Like the old days. I think you need a few more skips though mate 😂 This video was great.
I mostly watch your stuff because of you, not always for what you're doing mate
Thanks buddy 🙂
if I'm watching you doing it I don't have to think about the DIY I'm not doing :)
Currently doing a full Reno by myself on a Bungalow in Polegate area where a 6 yard skip is £360 :( Bit of a captive audience around that area as Bungalow OAP central so all prices are inflated including Council TAX @ around 2.5K for 2 bedroom yet in suburbs of London a 3 bed house around 1.5K. Fantastic Channel Aiden, don't worry about what video you post it humanises you and the process which I can relate to.
Ouch! 😳
Thanks mate 👍
What is that blurred diamond on the bottom right? - I thought you had rain on your camera, but it's got straight sides...
Ah balls, that's a mask thing I somehow managed to put on accidentally whilst editing 🙈 too late now 🤦🏻♀️
Came here to ask the same 😂
Hey Aiden, I’m a professional skip loader and just needed to say you’re loading it wrong and should leave it to the professionals!!! 😂😂 joking, not been on for a while so just catching up on your progress. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
I won't listen to you unless you've been doing it for 30 years 😆
@@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT 45 years!!! Been loading skips since I was 2 🤣
Always entertainment with your videos. 18 months...........i wish you luck
Aiden you will get it done. It’s hard doing it yourself 👏👏👍👍
Thanks Aiden, I needed this today.
Watching you clear up has inspired me to to do mine too, have so much stuff that just needs chucking or putting back in the right place. There is always something to chuckle about on your videos so keep them coming.
Hope you're having fun 😅
Love your videos…. Honesty and entertainment, keep up the great work mate. 👍
Much appreciated 👍🏻
Can't wait for more videos. Bring it on aiden.
😁
Go on Aiden, you can do it 😁 I have joy for you to see some of that shit cleared out of the way 🤣
Like the variety of content and also your approach to dealing with the haters 👍
I enjoy the vlogs as well man, interesting to see the other side of what a project like this entails, plus it’s entertaining
love it, just love it.
I appreciate the skip info. Never hired a skip before. A full run down on it is great. A full hour on a waste management plan I’d happily watch. I could talk for hours about the different ways of handling waste at a minimum cost, in fact with some thought I have managed to recover £800 of value from waste and avoided heavy waste expenses.
I like your videos, it takes real grit to stick at a project like yours so don’t worry about it going slowly.
I hope the shitty comments don’t bother you too much. Critique is always easier than creation.
That's very true 👍🏻
Tidying up is an important step.....it opens the mind to new possibilities. And to a perfectionist it makes you feel good inside.
Aim for video's like FARMCRAFT101 but first concentrate on getting the house habitable.....or else your missus is gonna leave you.
I wonder if the Acer would have been better in the ground. Having rootball exposed to the wind might be an issue. But what the fuck do I know....I ain't no Alan Titchmarsh
41 is young. You can do anything at that age. And you're old enough to not give a shit!! 👍
You should leave filling skips to the professionals
🤣😂🤣🙌
The wheelbarrow shot XD
Bought an adjustable lockable wrench, used it the day after I got it, best purchase ever!
Awesome 😎
I honestly think you could have the place done - or close - in 18 months if you really start cracking on with the main build and prioritise it. Get yourself a whiteboard, get the jobs listed in an order and start crossing them off!
I bet you felt so much better after all that tidying, there’s something very satisfying about just having a massive tidy/clear-out.
I wouldn’t worry about the insulation / mouse situation, I had a load of sips panels sat out for a year or so, I think I had one or two panels with a little nibble off an edge, that was it.
Keep at it! 👍
I'm pretty sure I haven't finished the jobs that I last put on the white board from months ago 🤣
@@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT you’ll get there mate… sometimes it’s worth taking a second to remind yourself of all the stuff you HAVE done.. rather than focusing on the stuff you haven’t.
Hey Aiden, keep going mate, don't take any notice of these 'experts' we all come across them in life, they know how to do everything better than everyone else, but generally never do anything constructive. I think like you say they are just unhappy and want to bring everyone down to their level. I personally like to hear what is going on in your life as well as the build. More Arthur please.
Acers don't like being exposed so nice sheltered spots are appreciated, they should be okay in pots with maybe the occasional liquid feed. Try ending your videos with a short clip of the dog/cats doing stuff, that might help with the retention 😉 Good luck with your efforts 😊👍
Having watched you for ages there is no way you'll get to 18 months completion. Id say 2.5 years
How about 18months but with the landscaping left to do? 😅
@@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT I'll take that 😂
@@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT I reckon you could probably take 18 months to clear up all the stuff you've hoarded 😂. Thanks for the videos, trades are always gonna hate, people doing stuff themselves (good or bad) just eats into their business.
did i hear you right that they wont let u put plasterboard in skip never heard that in my life and most important thing with skips is get doors if not something similar to pack out the sides to maximise the skip and 1.6 years no way maybe 3 years
@@hewoguys2506 plasterboard and general waste cause toxic hydrogen sulphide over time as it breaks down
I remember when £100 was a lot for a 8cu yd skip, and not so long ago. The environmental charges are a killer. No wonder there's so much fly tipping.
If it makes you feel any better I built my shed back in 2021, plasterboard the entire room, and built some timber framework for some cupboards but here I am 3 years later and I still haven’t gotten round to finishing it. I need to finish building some cupboard doors and lining the interiors, and the walls need to be mist coated (I only did the ceiling) 🫣
😆 sounds like a weekends worth of work right? 😅
Don’t get disheartened with the acer. Ours got windburn and knackered all the leaves in previous years but it has come back again this year, although there were a few dead bits. Ours is in a sheltered spot now and as a result seems to be doing better (at the moment anyway). Also wondering if the pot is a little on the small side given the size of your acer. I’m no expert but just a thought.
Also.. don’t rely on weed membrane holding nature back completely - weeds will still get through eventually! And once they do you’ll probably be cursing the bloody stuff when all the plastic strands are tangled up. Have fun 😄
mate i know how you feel I have done a lot of work to our house and got home after work and the mrs had the estate agent around to sell it now taking it easy new house will be a long haul
Cheapest I found in my area is £66 for a grab bag (1 tonne bag), £245 6yard skip. Grab truck for hardcore can be as low as £110 for 11yards.
I paid for a 4 yard skip in Scotland £216, some companies quoted me £290
😱
Interesting to hear how such a small thing can affect how UA-cam messes with you. Mental note, never click off early 👍
Hi Aiden, a good tidy up will help with you not falling A over T.... think how stir crazy you would go if you hurt yourself!! 😉
Good to hear you sounding positive and motivated pal. And there was me thinking that I had a load of sh!t 🤣🤣👏👌👍
Are you collecting it too? 😆
@@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT Yeap…. And happy birthday too 👍
@@THE-AIDEN-PROJECTI’m into the lost art of collecting things to do…..
Brilliant
Do not get rid of your acer it's not dead, it can recover.
Don't feed it and don't lop it, wait to see what branches have died off, acers are amazing, feel free to reply if you want some advice on them, it's the killer cold winds that kil the leaves..
Wait till you are 60 standing up hurts ;)
Oh noooo I’ve just told him to cut off the dead bits! I think it’s a good idea isn’t it so that the plant doesn’t waste its energy on those dead parts? X
@@evieeighteen6780 Yes of course, but if they are dead it can't waste it's energy, the thing is no point cutting them off yet as he has no idea how much will die off, better off just waiting to the end of Autumn and then trimming everything during the winter.
It looks like a nice sized acer, so looking at that pot it might be under sized, but now isn''t the time to be repotting it,
I would be very careful about feed. Just put it in a shaddy place out of any harsh wind and sun and wait to see, watering is the key make sure it is moist acers aren't great with over watering and then going dry.
Patience is a virtue for this :)
One of your best 😂
I remember skip wars in the 80s when all the companies were price fixing😂😂😂😂😂
Maybe that is still happening 🙈
Happy birthday!
Also just turned 41…
Also still fighting thistles!
Also feeling it!
Happy belated birthday 🎉
I've notice of late more videos are just ending abruptly. Thanks for explaining why. Them algorithms are a bitch. 😳
It's cause people are desperate to get their next fix 🙈 the precious 20 seconds are needed to watch another video 😬 😆
Skips are expensive! I really should get one, but the local dump is only 5 minutes away... even so I can rarely be arsed to go there!
Aiden, you should watch The Real Algarve Project, give you some inspiration.
Good to see the plan mate.
I reckon you'll get it done on target.
Don't feed the cats to much, keep them hungry for the mice!
They only get fed once a day but that's just cause they prefer it like that 🤷
Don’t put the metal in the skip. Take it to a scrap metal place and get some money back. Also look at grab lorry. Much cheaper, can take more and the grab does the hard work. Got rid of about four + ton of rubble for £180.
Yeah grabs are useful if you've got alot of one thing that isn't mixed
Watching a skip lorry trying to pick up an 8 year skip full of rubble is amusing 😅
Geeezzzz Aiden...................you need a plan mate. You might want to make a list and finish one job at a time. I love to watch your vids. You sure love life.
Graham-Orlando
That's the plan!
I like these general updates as much as the job/skill-specific ones, but can see how "the algo" can absolutely hammer you for them.
18 months seems very doable - have you got a plan to work to in that time?
i like listening to the talking bollocks! keep it up. and do a few silicone vids just to get a rise out of the numpties!
I love Acer's but the 2 small ones i've had died. I think they are quite fussy.
After tidying I realised i had chucked away stuff from my garden thinking i wouldn't need it, got to buy new one now cos i need it.
Try livestreaming the cats, I bet lots of people would donate towards their upkeep
I think it will cost more getting all the cameras set up 😅
You need to build a very large Keith-Shed™ and put all the rubbish in it. ♻😁
Yup fill the skips. They look a bit pricy never paid more than 200 for a skip...
Is that recently? Cash deal? I used to get 8 yards for 200ish about 7 years ago but everything seems to be 50%+ these days
@@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT £190 for a 8 yard skip where I live as well (west suffolk) - but it was last summer. Not a cash deal, reputable company with receipt and everything
@@AlexGnok what firm was that? Was it mixed waste
@@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT Company called Freedom Recycling Ltd. Yeah mixed waste mate
You're allowed days of contemplation. Good for the soul. But please do the silicon vids. Need to redo the bathroom coz the mold got it!
Some UA-camrs have a little intro section. A video montage set to music. I'm not sure if they work, they annoy me sometimes. But some sort of branding is important. Music can be important I think.
I watch 'Bricklaying with Steve & Alex' and they have a clever selection of music. I think the dad Steve does the editing.
Apparently intros are a cardinal sin. I used to have one but loads of people would click off the video according to my analytics. I used to spend hours on music, both finding it and editing to the beat but that was in the first couple of years. Ultimately because I didn't get many views I decided it was a waste of my time but maybe it's something I'll add back in the future
To give your acer the best chance, prune it back to the correct growth points. You can "just lop it off" and it'd probably be fine, but you're stacking the numbers against you. I'd make a video about your specific tree, but you're about 350 miles south. If you wanted, drop me a line and we figure something out. If the name doesn't give it away, I am a tree person, I do videos on trees. I think I meet your criteria of money where mouth is :)
Acer needs to be in the ground and out of the wind.
Get yer skips out for the lads
Sounds longer if you call it 548 days🙂 I reckon you can easily do it
Mate, loved this video just as much as the others. I get your point about doing more silicone videos though, it's all about the views. Oh and if you'd offered for me to do a video and you promote it it'd have snapped your hand off. I made a start trying to do some videos but just found it too time consuming and with finally moving into our new place time is just something that I don't have, maybe in the future. Keep up the good work!
What's with the fuzzy diamond on screen? Take care & stay safe.
An editing mishap 🙈
Serious question though mate, have you ever considered one of those WorkX schemes to get backpackers to help you with the labour in exchange for board? I saw it on Grand Designs and it really helped the self-builders, freeing them up to progress. I appreciate this is your thing at your pace, but if the real manual uninteresting labour stuff was out of your hands, it would allow you to focus on documenting the bits you do want to do, rather than the boring 'crap', as you put it 😁
Think you might need 20 of those skips fella 😆
I worked in the building trade, and I've seen professional workers doing right shit work at expensive prices. Diy builds are usually more time-consuming due to the fact they put far more time into perfecting the job. As for your time scale, best work is when you're up for it, lol.....
When you think what your doing is boring and not worth watching just keep going...... people's lives are shit they want cheering up or to see your lifes shiter than there's lol honest keep it real enjoy what you do and do it when you want. Sorry its a long message lol
Your place needs a massive clean out! Lol
Yeah f## em you crack on I love what your doing and I learn or at least get a kick up the arse to try. And I clear loads but always think 🤔 I might use that for blah blah blah blah 🙄🙄🙄🙄😂
The makings of a hoarder 😅
won’t you need to render that wall before the ASHP is installed!?
Changed my mind on that end of the building, I'm going to fully clad it
I think you forget that we just wanna see you and we don’t really care what you do! 😂 even if you’ve done something before it doesn’t matter cos something else will happen that didn’t happen the 1st time you did it!!
And the acer …. Re bloody pot it Aiden! It needs a bigger pot! Poor thing! And cut off the dead bits even if it looks bare-you may be lucky and it may “come back to life”-it’s happened to me before. And take out the plants that are at its base …oh and water the bloody thing!!! P.s. missed the cats! Xx
Repotting was on my list but I just didn't get round to it 🙈 I think I should wait until winter now maybe
You sure about the cats Aiden! There are countless of channels that took off only after pets started to appear regularly. Some creators even say it openly that's their cats paying the bills :P Maybe don't show them at the very end, you could do what Rag'n'Bone Keith does, short clips across the video. In regards to what work and what doesn't work on youtube. There are millions of people that watch other people cut grass (like lawn makeovers) and even millions that watch....... cows getting pedicure. I kid you not. I guess it's because it's a little gross but satisfying to see cows walking away happy. Internet is weird. You just need to find your audience! I like your videos: they are very relaxing. I enjoy the random DIY guide as much as the relaxing in the sun bits. Only suggestion I have as a viewer is that I really struggle sometimes to watch 20' long videos. Not because I find them uninteresting but because I've got limited time with all the TV series and youtube channels out there. Also very long videos surely contribute to the low retention. 5 to 10 minute videos would be perfect. Sorry for the long comment and happy belated birthday! You are older than me but you look waaay younger :P
Will u get the place finished before you turn 60?!
Hopefully 🤞🏻😂
Do the siliconing videos Dude. The whole world has either / and tried to silicon something, had a silicon failure that caused a water stain on a ceiling and had to redecorate, had a go at siliconing because it’s easy but they got poor result. Think of the new siliconing series as a steady income in your retirement.
Great to see you back, mate. In fantasy land, we'd all be employing professionals whilst we sip cocktails on the beach. In this fecked up reality, none of us can afford to pay someone their going rate when we can have a decent stab at doing it ourselves. Keep on it, fella!
The pros are always going to tell you you should leave it to them, so they can be paid. I take my time and do plenty of research and generally end up with a better job, save a lot of money, and don't have the pro's dirtbag employees all over my house. I got tired of hiring a pro, and having a bunch of yahoos show up to do the actual work.
I reckon it'll take at least 10 years to sort that lot out.....🍺
Don't jinx me 😅
Why don’t you give Gary a call to give you a hand?
He's on holiday 🙄😆
You ever thought of getting a caravan and doing free working holidays ? You get free Labour they get a bad back and 3 meals a day 😂👍
Haha I have a caravan already. That sounds like a challenge though, even I don't eat 3 meals a day 😆
17,500 people subscribe. They must like something about Aiden.......or perhaps they idolise Arfur?!
But only 3000ish regularly watch 😆
@@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT Yeah, but if 3,000 people turned up at 'Acer View' that would be quite a crowd. However I expect you would like to add at least one or two zero's on the end of that number.
The people I really look forward to often have a story to tell, they have interesting things to work on and they do it in a fun way. You have most of those (imo).
People I always watch (if they have a new video):
- Farmcraft101
- Watch Wes Work
- CuriousMarc
- Monkey Wrench Mike
- Bricklaying with Steve & Alex
- Some bloke called Aiden
You have even had 'The Gosforth Handyman' give you a shout out....he couldn't understand why you weren't more popular (if I remember correctly).
PS I used to follow Gosforth Handyman on a regular basis too. He's very similar to you.....but bald & talks with a strange accent.
This video is wonderful. My previous favourite was the rats eating the van wiring. The way you just carried on amazed me. Keep up the work mate, live your best life and f#ck the nay sayers.
Your posts always brighten up the day.
Glad you enjoyed it 😄
Salford Skip Hire, Manchester £220 plus vat 8 yd - now I live in Devon £450 plus vat same skip :(
The Manchester lot are called FL Ytippers Ltd.
Christ 🤯
With the heatpump will you qualify for the £7.5k grant?
Yep 👍🏻
Who invented the skip?
Edwin did 😉
Let’s get real most real blokes like talking bollocks.👍 As to your critic on the silicone - FFS can you imagine claiming you had been doing siliconing for 25 years and were therefore a ‘professional’ - a life well lived - not.
Keep making plans - a plan is an instrument of change.😉👍
Sounds like a plan 😁
That was a lot of sh1t 🤣
Mostly plastic 😯 I'm sure I'll have a tonne more by the time I'm finished
Most of the tradesman that are criticising you, are probably no hopers, still living in a shitty tower block and are just envious of you without having the gonads to admit it.
Haha maybe
not sure that 1 skip will be enough...
You're as bad as I am for having a million jobs and materials everywhere. 😮💨
and every tool for pretty much any job.
For views, retention and income it is far better to have shorter videos 2-6 mins, time is precious for all of us. Don't deviate from the main topic too much, cut out all of the fluff unless it is something truly worth knowing or funny. If you speak a second language create a second channel with the same content in your second language. I get three times more views on my Spanish channel compared to the English one. Good luck!
Totally agree but I'm thinking that long term a relationship based channel may be better than a transactional one. I'll throw in shorter videos every now and then but alot of my regular audience tends to like longer chatty stuff
