Hey Guys,
Welcome back to our channel!
In today's video we take you through the last few weeks of our DIY extension self build! We are finally watertight... well we hope. Our aluminium doors, aluminium capping and render has been complete and it's starting to look less like a building site and more like a home!
What our channel is about:
We bought this semi-detached bungalow in August 2022 and given ourselves 3years to flip the property and sell on. We have a target budget of £70,000! Natasha is the editor and video maker, while Rhys is the builder (a carpenter by trade). We plan on doing 95% of the work ourselves to keep costs down.
This channel is for documenting our experiences - Good or Bad. This is our first time doing anything like this with full times jobs! Can we stick within our budget? Will the building inspector pass each stage? and the biggest question...will we still be married at the end of the project? Subscribe to find out...

    It really seems like it's coming together now, well done. I would do the render white to show off how sharp everything is and the contrast between the window frames, aluminium capping, roof tiles and rainwater plastics. I would do the cladding vertical so you don't get water sitting and rotting on the horizontals.

    Because of all the sun we get we don’t want brilliant white as it’s blinding, we will definitely do some sort of off white tint of cream/grey maybe. I wanted vertical cladding but the wife and instagram out voted me 😂

    Hi both. Really impressed with the quality of the render , as for colour maybe mid grey could look well with the windows and form a contrast with the cladding . Kind regards as always
