Been watching alot of your videos want to build a 5m x 3m but on another note you should do a compilation video of completed diy builds by people that have bought the build packs. Surely alot of people would be proud to send you a lit bit of footage to put in the compilation. Plus it gives people more ideas for their own diy builds for different finishes and styles. Great work btw.

I built a garden room with your build pack. Turned out lovely. Good to see you are still putting great content out. My back hurts watching though.

Love this.. I’m not experienced in any sense, but could you build the frame square first and then add the rods through the frame so you know where to dig exactly. I feel like lining up the holes with the 4x3 would be difficult for someone with no experience. Probably just me though 😂

Can the overhangs be completely insulated and sealed up the same as the rest of the roof ?

Liam, aim more towards the 1:40 ratio. The last thing you want is it not being steep enough, to flush everything away with ease.

Liam, use an electric water heater. There’s no need for gas water heating.

I did my extension recently, and when I was making up the mark for the Bricky, he told me to use an old bin to keep water next to the mixer, much quicker than filling it up each time with a hosepipe

Was not expecting the deadpool ski mask when cutting the blocks. 🤣

So used to seeing you doing timber things, I had to take a double take to understand what was going on

£20k all in i reckon

Also a revolutionary new app that will help with any questions you have like this and calculate anything is CHATgbt honestly it calculates anything

sent you a WhatsApp message on the burner phone its a shallow fall drops about 10mm per meter

You remind me of me but I would have barrowed those blocks in lol

I would love to work with you for a week or so, been a roofer for 13 years and now since watching your videos you have inspired me to venture into the possibility of a career in garden rooms 😁 I love your channel sir 👍

You have a 1 in 93 chance of being right with that maths mate

Would you not risk flooding if you have your interior level the same as outside ground level?

Fantastic info, as always. I'm currently building my own garden office and just about to put PIR insulation boards into my walls. A friend (experienced DYIer I guess) said I need to have a gap between the board and external OSB for ventilation. Please could someone confirm / correct that, as I've not seen anyone (here nor on other channels) suggest similar? I followed the standard construction with C24 treated 4x2, OSB on the outside and EPDM membrane. Planning to put the 75mm PIR boards all the way in to touch the OSB, fill in gaps with expanding foam, leaving circa 20mm gap between PIR and plasterboard (wiring will go there). Does that sound right? Also, would anyone bother with a vapour barrier before plasterboard, if I have no plumbing, unlikely to have a kettle in there. I will do some exercise, but will then make sure the room is ventilated. Thanks in advance.

Why are you not splitting your seems on a 2x ?

Check out if you need to go to manhole to turn corners etc. You will drop 50mm but you can buy from OSMA very low drop inspection chambers.....also be careful for coming in a floor level and ground level, recommendation is two brick up from ground level....check out the nhbc standards. Great videos

But where is she now ?????

is your front and rear overhangs filled with insulation ? i'm at that stage now and can't tell from the video if you've treated it the same as the rest of the roof and jammed it full of insulation ?

Another brilliant video. Thank you.

Also internal floor level should be minimum 150 above external ground level

Waste drainage should really be 1:40, you’ll not get any blockage problems, that would be 700mm over th 28 m, you can use pencil lintels they are only 75mm height inc 10mm bed. You’d be better raising the internal floor level n putting in a ramp at the front if access is an issue for elderly or disabled, think your headed for problems with a 1:93 for soil waste

You remind me of the bad guy in commando with that black vest on "let of some steam Bennett" 😂 great job doing that in the heat.

On hot days add a few ice cubes to the mix

Keep going Liam, great content as always 👊

I’d add 2 courses of engineering bricks(blue) so your DPC is 2 bricks above what you said. This should match your house and is the correct way. A shallow 2brick to ground level ramp to get in the entrance. Personally I think it will look better too. It will certainly stop future damp problems and your annex will look better built. Probably ease drainage install too, but that’s not my forte 🫡

Hindsight is a wonderful thing Liam but if you do again or to others who are having a go . I said before get the biggest digger you can access, scrape everything away and stone the full site up before you even start digging . You then are digging on clean level ground . Keep the digger on hire for bit longer and use to level around footing and around slab plus you can use to bring your materials round and save you Time and back ache .Buliding is always time v money and weather . The less you handball the better . Enjoy watching you your one of the best on here .

Liam man yr videos are getting better and better. I’d really like to have a go at a build like this someday soon and your vids are giving me a lot of insight into what I will be able to (and won’t be able to) manage 👍👍👍

Love this guy. What makes him different is that he doesn't try and polish things up. He's honest with his abilities and limitations. He seeks genuine help from those in the know. It shouldn't be but his content is addictive. Keep it up Liam. Great work.

For someone who's not a bricky you ain't doing too bad mate. I'm a bit like you learn as you go little tip for you tho once you've laid brick if it's a warm sunny day get it covered the sun will dry it out too quick and that decent mix will go to dust

What was that sheet you are using to keep track of costings, excel?

Nice work Sir 👍🏻and yes I agree mate, granny definitely doesn't need to be lifting her leg anymore 😳

I built a log cabin a few years ago at the end of my garden and installed a toilet etc . I was concerned I didn’t have enough fall in the ground joining onto my sewer at rear of my house . The distance was similar to what your working to , I had a ratio of 1 in 80 and after using it for 3 years now and being able to watch the flow go through the first chamber I would certainly advise stronger than 1 in 80 . If you can get closer to 1 in 60 I’d really suggest that . Just saying from experience , don’t want any blockages . The 1 in 110 would never work .

😂😂 Your neighbours 100% look over the fence and see you talking to yourself… Then think you’re a lunatic.

Such a great watch and so inspiring mate. Keep up the amazing work and we are all behind you mate!!!

why not go up another course of blocks. and slope garden up towards entrance? this would deffo get your drain fall

maybe clamp either end and flip it over then you could have drilled the second timber more comfortably from the top

Can I suggest the SWA version of the EV ultra cable from Doncaster cables. I've just put up a new workshop, and I used it to run the power down to it. Not only does it contain the power cables but it also has an ethernet cable in. Can't recommend it enough. Makes life a lot easier only running one cable.

Nobody can ask anymore from you, your giving it a go and doing your research. Wish you the best mate

I cant further edit the post, you can do it without the drainage. Need to protect the threshold so that water cant penetrate. The slabs/ floor outside must fall away from the door, like a ramp. The secondary dpc is required, 150mm above threshold, extending at least a metre either side of the opening. Hope the helps mate.

I bought from gorillagazebos, I'm in the north west and its been up since September last year in my garden through heavy wind, snow, rain. Still going strong and not priced half bad. It is secured well with the guide ropes and feet are also secured down onto decking.

For your drainage iys cutting it real close. I would try and increase that fall as you risk blockages. Once you cast your floor your wont be able to change it later. You're loosing alot of height by trying to level the internal floor with the ground outside. Build your DPC up so you have 150mm up from the ground. your internal floor will be level will that so basically our internal floor will be 150mm above the garden ground level. this will also give you an additional 150mm for your waste flow as your toilet will be raised 150mm. If you try level with outside you will have dpc bridging issues. What you need to do is have a small sloped ramp up to your front door. As a new build this will be a requirement under part M regs. Just have a look at the front door detail of a nearby new build house. Need any guidance let us now and maybe can visit and collab on something. Hope this helps.

Great video again liam. Now ffs subscribe to this channel if you haven't already because there's more to come and its FREEEE

Everyone screaming use the fuckin barrow lad

Ur dpc will be the same internal and external! U can get away with doing a c damp internally but with a solid concete subfloor a level trhesh hold isnt advisable and ur asking for damp problems

I basically watch these now to see if the fence is fixed 😁

To work out the fall 1 divided by 80 x length of run. ( 1:80 is a ratio you need to change it to a fraction 1 / 80 = 0.125 x 28m = 0.35 m so 350mm from the bottom invert level where you are tying into to the bottom of the furthest point of the drain run.

Any update on the ONLYPLANS CLOTHEING??
