Awesome!!! I've always wanted to build my own shed, and it's great to see an English person building one, so I can hear the UK regulations and get the local info. Great job on the first weekend!!👍👍

Nice work. Having been in the same situation twice in the last year, I think the choice you made over.the base were sound. My floorboards were 15mm give a little bounce, in hindsight 19 would have been better with tools on wheels. Regarding permitted development it's worth saying that it runs out in year or two and renewal is subject to the government deciding to do so. Looking forward to the next video

Interesting. I suspect it might be viewed with some suspicion given the slabs just being laid on the floor etc. But given the budget, time and other aspects I’m sure it’ll be more than adequate. Also the wonky cut on the jigsaw is very average. Good stuff though. Interesting to see how it comes along. I think it’ll be a high view count regardless.

Hi Matt great job so far , apart from friction what stops the insulation from getting pushed down when you tape it and would the wild west animals eat away at the bottom of the insulation or does the foil protect it ,keep up the good work , G

@iancoxsey1321 4 жыл бұрын

That would be my concern. We live in rural location and we've even had mice eat through plastic pipe fittings in the loft, so they would make short work of that Kingspan. I would have to board the underneath as well, which would also make fitting the insulation easier. I'm about to start my build in a few weeks time, which will be basically your shepherds hut design, but without the wheeled chasis. Good work!
