Man Cave - She Shed - Garden Office
Building the Man Cave.
This is a video record of my Garden office / Shed project.
I started it in March 2015 and finally completed it 9 months later in December 2015. I build this in my spare time.

I managed to get a great deal of the materials second hand or recycled.
Other items I had to buy new, but shopped around on line for the best price.
Please check out my recent videos to see what it is like now and what it is used for.
This is a video of the plans and budget • The Man Cave Budget an...
The 4 x 2s were from a recycling timber yard in Peckham.
The other items such as the windows and doors and the front maple cladding were second hand from ebay. I had to travel to collect items from all over Surrey, Kent, Hampshire and Buckinghamshire.
Other items I had to buy new, but shopped around on line for the best price.
I did all the work myself apart from the final fix and certification of the electrics. The electrician was Billy Keppel from Keps Electrical.

Such a gorgeous book - each shed is unique and inspiring, and I love all the tiny details Kotite features to help readers imagine how to create their own She Sheds kzread.infoUgkxe9yi0sulKgsp0VJJCIrLWWkvVqcU7LFR . The feature on Dinah's Rustic Retreat is like something from a fairy tale. It's really inspiring to see how creative all these ordinary people are in making beautiful and useful spaces on a modest scale.

I used a one piece rubber roof for this roof. Check out my budget video for all the info on this.
Why so much negativity? This is commendable. The creator is nice enough to answer questions as well. Very helpful, if only to see someone else's results.
Now, this guy is seriously talented. I’m not letting my wife see this video, she’ll think I can give it a bash!

That's a clever 'she' trap. Option 1: find peace in a dirty old shed. Option 2: build a 'she shed'. Genius on all sorts of levels.
You are the man and why anyone would thumbs down this video is beyond me,great job sir
Great work, very jealous. That would make a perfect drum shed/studio. I can dream.
Better built than the new build houses going up these days
Super nice, a lot of people don’t understand the work that goes in behind the scenes. Some good skills and nice ideas, thanks
Great shed will be really good when you put the lights up properly

Well, it finally happened, Zachary! Somebody burned down my she shed!
My relationship with my dad just changed after watching this
Awesome! Building a shed is super fun!
This is exactly what I require for me yard, thank you for sharing the fruits of your labor with the world!
Jesus man well done. It's titled "oh yeah just a shed" but I could live in that thing. Very nice.
I’m looking into building my own studio when I’m older so this is just perfect and filled with ideas 💡
Bloody hell, you can rent the place out and make a few bob on the side. Look out for squatters!
Fabulous. I have a small summer house at the top of my garden and during September when it is starting to turn cool i can go and sit inside it and it is lovely and warm..
I like how this was done especially with mostly repurposed supplies. Beautiful job.
Really informative well put together video. I like the fact there's no talking. I also watched your plans and budget video. Really really helpful. Thanks. I don't think my project will be as ambitious but you've told me everything I need to know.

Great way to stay on task in whatever you use the space for while having the freedom of being “at home”
You’ve made a cracking job of that ‘shed’, very impressive workmanship, work rate and working to a tight budget!

I just have to say you make making a house in your backyard possible. Thank you so much for sharing this video. I will definitely be using this video for when I am ready to make my tiny house in my backyard. You are an inspiration!!! Thank you boss
Quite a lot of people watching the video awesome viewing with the great result and bet it was an excellent feeling for the fella when he was finally finished and sitting in the creation built with canny buying,, very inspiring I'm off to dig up the garden 😁😁😁👍👍🍀🍀🍀
Cheryl is gonna love this she shed
I want to build a small room in the back of my house but i think its too much work for myself. I really like this one though. My respects to you. I admire hardworking people 👏👏👏
Watched this a couple of times over the years for inspiration!! Great vid. Dublin, Ireland.
It’s beautiful!! Love the French doors and the radiator!
Thanks for making a complicated hobby seem easy!

How about just a slice-seeder. You don't need to till the ground so deep.
Absolutely amazing work
your solution to simply build on levelled blocks is practical and easy to implement 👍
Great build, good to see the old wood, recycled.
It looks great and nicely documented.
Great build must say looking fantastic
BRILLIANT from start to finish Angus, am I envious... you bet!
Fantastic job. You can see how much effort you put into this. Well done mate
Amazing man. Doing all that by yourself. Very good.
I always read the comments knowing full well that I'm going to be annoyed. Clearly, I am the nosiest sort of masochist lmao. I love this and would totally live in it.
Thanks for taking the time to video all your work! Looks Great!!!! Great Scottish Name too!!!
looks like a great place to chill
Nice job. The only thing I'm less thrilled about is the interior wiring with those wires crossing the interior space.
Beautiful! I love the front porch...always nice to have a place to chill outside.
Thanks for posting. I especially like the finish details.
I think it looks lovely.
Man.......just heaven on earth......
Wish I could be arsed to do a project like this.... Nice work dude!! Looks incredible. If you're ever bored...... Lol!!
I'm about to start a very similar project. I love the foundation, that's exactly what I want to do instead of mixing a massive amount of concrete. Looks great, cozy and comfortable. Congratulations!

Yes it was easier and cheaper to use concrete blocks. All the best with your build
Fantastic...although, when you want to be in your cave, you kind of don't want to come out for a while..but if you don't build a restroom...that means...you still need to be back and fort, in and out the house...mmmhh... I need one with a toilet build in :) Thanks for sharing your video, you did fantastic job !
Well when all you people on here that are so negative and concerned about how structurally sound his shed is, make sure when you build one and do a video for KZread you include how you made yours so structurally sound. I am a builder and I don't see a problem with the integrity of the shed.
It's amazing what we humans are capable of doing -- cool!
Excellent, looks beautiful.👍👍
Wow how beautiful work !!
You dont want to break your plywood sheets at the same joint all the way across.. start with two 8' pieces across, then cut 1 piece in half and start the next row with a 4' piece.. staggered joints make a stronger floor
Daaam that House is huge! I would live in this. Nice work!
Wow it’s beautiful! Fantastic work and for one person? So good
I would love to live there. Nice and cozy just perfect for me.
You did one hell of a job...
