- Well? what a week and its only Wednesday!
I promised you a full detailed video of how it happens, the mistakes, the up's the downs, this could quite go down as the biggest mistakes of my life, or it will define my autumn and winter years😑
Everything has not gone to plan, but Griffin, being me, will endeavour to rise from this early disaster and I will not be beaten, someone has wished me bad luck on this build, and in the words of Liam Neeson, I have developed a set of skills, none of which are helping me 😭
Smash it tomorrow? we shall see.
This series is a breath of fresh air. I cannot stand the usual over-produced, perfect world, glorified corporate videos that're now the norm on UA-cam. I enjoy the resourcefulness, common sense and ingenuity in these videos. Unpolished communication is youtube at its best. And the outraged Karen comments are hilarious. Keep it up and good luck.
thanks mate
Feel your pain mate, nothing ever goes to plan. We don't get results by giving up though so tomorrow is a new day and go again, you've got the skills to smash it 💪👏
You see Liam, this is why folk love to watch your videos. You don't brush over the setbacks, you show those too and how you overcome them. I can totally relate to this setback. My back garden imediately slopes up away from my house on a gradient of about 1:6 . I got they guy who is going to do my drive to come in with an excavator last November to dig out an area 3.5 metres x the full 8m garden width so I could make a new patio. I had one but it was crap and too high in relation to the conservatory. 2 grab loads of clay dumped on my front garden later I had a nice flat area. Then the bloody rains came and I ended up with mini landslides during the winter months. Watched loads of youtube videos to work out how to fix it and I ended up digging out another grab full of clay, built retaining walls, hollow blocks with rebar through them and into the foundations and perforated drainage behind protected with membranes and granite chippings. Sub base for the patio went down and whacked and now paved. New garden furniture is ordered, just need some sunshine. I've still a bit of work to do on steps and another low retaining wall higher up but im proud of what ive achieved and its all thanks to watching guys like you on youtubewhich made me believe i could do it. Shame I can't share pictures on here.
Anyway, looking forward to seeing how you overcome your collapsing trenches. I know you will somehow. Compulsive viewing.
Cheers mate.
thanks mate, appreciate the time you've taken to write this, pumped it out this morning, back filled the trench so I could get the digger back in, dug it out again🤦🏻♂️shored up the trench, went to Selco, came back, fence was in the trench😭shuttering worked though, just got to get the concrete posts out now, big lump of concrete on the bottom too😬
Never knew a real job that didn't turn into a muck and bullets scenario!
Keeping it real
Chin up tomorrow is a new day always going to be set back you will get there you have what it takes
I’m not down yet 💪🏻tomorrow is mine
Liam , I’ve stepped every one of your steps on jobs working like a c,,t on my own been there done that and what your taking on now I can say is to much on your own ,I can only say that looking back on what I’ve done .
Good luck mate 12:02
Liam is a different breed mind mate lol
I have been working on a similar project. There's nothing worse than when everything seems to be against you. Chin up, Liam. You will soon be out of the ground . At least you are on the right side of the year better days ahead.
Thanks mate
What a t@*t of a job, especially on your own. Just think of a few weeks down the line when you're up out of the ground! This will all seem like a distant nightmare......
Keep going you're smashing it 🤜🏻🤛🏼
I felt so bad watching you mate, that sort of groundwork shit is the worst thing to have to deal with.
A good tip to stop trenches caving in if it rains is to lay polythene DPM over the ground and into the trench. It doesn’t stop the trench filling up but it stops the water getting into the ground around the trench which then causes the cave ins. An old brickie gave me the tip and it does work. Enjoying the series mate, warts and all.
genius! makes complete sense😎
I didn’t believe it when he told me but we do it every time now if it’s going to rain . Definitely works
@@nickhaley4663 ok, I’m going with this!
Just turned down 20 sheets of OSB for £280 over a roll of visqueen
I’ll find you if I’m hand digging it back out 💪🏻😂
You'll laugh about this day in a few weeks, keep it going liam 👍
your in the real world lad and yes you will still do it and get it sorted
Had double knee replacements on Thursday mate, no digging for 6 weeks 😂
Been there many times pal digging out one day inspector says ok crack on book concrete for next morning only to get there day after full of water i used to dig a sump in one corner easir to pump out good luck
What a nightmare, hope things improve for you Liam1 chin up fella
Feel so sorry for you Liam. Look on the bright side it can’t get worse..can it?
Sunshine is coming to that will help. Keep up the great work mate
surly it can't get worse mate🫣
@@thegardenroomguru wish I was near by to come and help. 🤦♂️
keep on keeping on Liam, you shall overcome 👍
Even the best laid plans go belly up liam, but just goes 2 show no matter how good a tradesman u are, u cant control mother nature, hopefully ur bad/unlucky start dont continue
fingers crossed mate
Keep going mate this is going to be an amazing series 👍👍👍
OMG, it can only get better mate!
Small set back mate. Dont let it grind you down, will be out of the muck soon enough.
Yeah, things always look worse when your in the s**t, it’ll be shining soon
Things can only get better mate. 👍
Thanks for sharing looks a kightmar cant wait to see progras of the build
You and me both!
When we did the house extension 4 years ago mate constantly raining all 3 neighbouring fences caved in omg nightmare, hopefully it will dry up for you mate
I know what it’s like been there done that pain in the arse you’ll get there the trouble is mate the money and the hard work is in the ground. Work I hope things get better for you mate and the weather changes.👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️🍺🍺🍺
Nearly back to how it was before the rain mate, mud is a problem today, got digger stuck more than once
Well rain and maybe more too come, and I thought it’s was only me when I done a bedding wash it always raining, does the inspector think you’re going to put up a block of flats there is no sign of roots in your trench i’ve got a tape measure out. Good luck do hope that they Weather fall’s in your favour 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🏴🏴🏴🏴
honestly🤣
Building inspectors just like ticking boxes. They're not paying for it. Also there's the environmental impact ( I'm no tree hugger) digging deeper, means more carbon used, same with the concrete or footings, one or both will use more materials, therefore more carbon.
What ever happened to common sense approach to things, I know, lawsuits and covering their arses
1.4m depth for essentially a large shed is a joke. Really enjoying the videos 👍
it's a joke im finding difficult to see the funny side of mate😭
Once that messy groundwork is done, it’ll be plain sailing for ya 👌🏼
yeah, im longing the day when its trainer footwear day🥳hope your good mate
Just subscribed to your channel mate , I’m a Joiner/ Builder myself, really enjoy your content,good stuff 👍
Thanks for the subscribe mate, having the week of my life !😂 but you’ll know the script 🤔🤦🏻♂️😂
Keep going pal 👊🏻💪🏻
Well not much else can go wrong mate, things can only get better.
Oh my god loving the clay and the rain Liam. Is that an old air rade shelter you dug up?
That’s exactly what I’m thinking, there should be nothing there at all , area was fields before 1800
One of those days, fresh start tomorrow 💪👍
Yeah I'd be worried about that fence
Could you, with permission from the neighbours, use the building as the boundary division? I.e. do away with that section of fence and build right up to the boundary line? Hope your luck changes soon!!
you can't just change plans to that extent once granted. you would have to submit again and it's doubtful with roof overhang. it rare the external wall is the finished external measurement with roof and gutters so he would be technically in the neighbours garden
Is that a jar of red diesel behind you on the desk.....a little memento 😂
😆 scented candle, supposed to be good for stress🤣
Doing good 👍
Always enjoy your videos but i've not seen you digging on the Somme before 😂😂
😭😭
Abandon the Annex - try an Ark instead! 😂 Seriously though, chin up, I'm sure things will get better!
wow what a start🤣 will the videos become longer and more detailed along the way or are you going to do a weekly long detailed video?
I kinda thought there’s not a lot to see when your digging🙄😂
Yes mate, I’ll be looking at an hour vid on a Friday
Liam, I Didn’t know you could buy RED DIESEL from the filling station ⛽️
Only certain ones 👀😂
Brown hare garage lol
thats the one
How come you didn’t remove the sleepers to make it easier to get dumper through without building a ramp?
Ramp was better option at the time, the pod is the biggest hurdle atm
I think you should drive through the neighbors garden opposite, just take the fence down.
He’s extended out on the side, it’s shoulder width 😬
Some days you get the bear and some days the bear gets you…… feeling it mate…… get a cuppa and tomorrow is another day…….
Only way is up mate
Is the video on the black mould coming soon?
yes mate, didn't want to do it if the lift was unsuccessful and waste my time, but should be good for next week, need to sort this hole 1st😬but the Owtarol stuff didn't work, so save your money
@@thegardenroomguru ok cheers
Annoying thing is a different inspector on a different day would have said 1m is fine all them problems because some jobs worth having a bad day 😢
I did think that when he left 😑🤷♂️
Are you work in Bradford.. ??
no mate, refuse to pay the clean air charge, they got me twice in the van, both times a fine because I didn't realise.
@thegardenroomguru ahhhh thats bad . So how can we get your service then . Because i need garden room soon
U cud av used mini piles
look at the weather forecast first?
I think we both know, that’s not a thing, weather was mild last weeks forecast Karen
@@thegardenroomguru soft lad
Do you need planning and building regs?
Yes mate, planning approval and building regs
Will your council tax bill go up?
Blimey. That looks awful. Shame man, I feel your misery. You are taking it better than I would
Got the most irritating voice I think I’ve ever heard
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Don’t watch mate, there’s loads of other stuff to watch, I won’t miss you, honest 😎
Most annoying voice I have ever heard 🙄
so don't watch mate, simple😉I doubt you'll be missed
@@thegardenroomguru ok mate 😂😂😂
