Welcome to my DIY channel. Why pay someone to carry out the work when you can have some fun doing it yourself. Capturing my journey along the way on how I bought my property and renovating it, while we live on site. Carrying out large and small refurbishment projects, to improve and increase it's appeal. I'm trying to complete lots of do it yourself jobs, hopefully saving some money along the way and keeping control of my budget.

Hi mate how long did it take?
Thanks for watching, it took me about 4 weeks to complete.
Hello Mark, hope all is going well in your new place. Did you get Building Control? Did you go for a council one or private? Many thanks
Hi, Thank you... it's a bloody nightmare lol🤣... biggest refurb I've ever done! Because I was selling that property you need a sign off cert from your local Building control, so that's what I done and it was fine no issues if you work with them.
@@mjsimo1 thank you Mark, much obliged. one last question please, did you need to dig out the concrete where the door was to put in a foundation, were the services under there (gas/electricity) was it difficult to avoid them? Cheers
Wondering what was the reason you secured joists to wall, could you have just shimmed joists off the floor? Thanks!
It seemed to me the easiest way to level up the floor and I was also matching the height of the hallway to have one continuous same level floor. Your right wouldn't have been an issue off the concrete floor. Thanks for watching 👍
You didnt need to dig the floor out for proper insulation, did you get building regs approval?
Hi, no because my floor was raised which allowed insulation and DPC on top. Yes fully inspected and signed off by local building control, thanks for watching.
You're getting there Mark, good to see your progress.... I've heard a lot of good things about DIY kitchens, might use them next year
Thanks for watching 👍 DIY Kitchens are not too bad and third time we have used them, no complaints so far and really well made for the money.
@@mjsimo1 thanks Mark, appreciate your recommendation mate 👍
Did you need planning to change the door into a wall, as it changes the appearance? Nice job .
I did ask but planning was not required no, thank you for watching.
Should of painted the wall and cut out the Skirting out. But great build 👍
Thanks for the tip.
Did your garage floor have a slope? If so how did you get the battens level?
No my garage floor was level. Battens? do you mean floor joists, I had a raised floor to match the rest of the house and I had a bout 10/12 inches of space to work with to level up the 5" joists I used, not battens. Thanks for watching.
Is the insulation you have used loft insulation, if it is, is it fine to use for walls. Does your room feel warm. Just about to start my garage and rockwool is a cheaper option than other materials at the moment Thanks
If costs are a factor like myself 100mm knauf roll insulation is fine to use in walls and roofs, building regs approved. Good luck with your build and thanks for watching 👍
Great video Mark, I've been looking for one of these but can't really justify spending £600 on a Dewalt or Makita (as much as I'd like to!) I've had Scheppach tools before and not had any problems so it looks like a no brainer to me, my next purchase I think! I hope you're still happy with it a few months on?
Thanks for watching and glad it helped out a bit. They hover around £300 mark, so not to bad a price. Like yourself I didn't want to spend too much, it's a great useful little machine, a tad on the noisy side so get some good ear defenders.
You mentioned rollers on the top? What function do they serve?
When you're planning timber you pass the wood back over the top of the machine and rollers aid that process.
fantastic job
Thank you! Cheers!
Excellent 👍👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
i would have liked to see how the extraction hood fitted. see a few negative reports about the suction but of course they dont say what suction device they are using
Hi, thanks for watching. It's a plastic hood screwed to the rear with two thumb turns, easy on & off. Extraction wise I have one of these type www.screwfix.com/p/scheppach-dc100-215m-hr-electric-l-class-dust-extractor-230v/432xg it does the job for small jobs most of the time. But it can get full quickly if planning a lot of timber and if shaving are large yes rear outlet can get clogged, so I just leave it off and sweep mess up afterwards, use a good mask?
Hello, Would you still recommend this brushcutter?
Hi, yes cost wise for what it is, I like it and does the job well. It's a bit of a beast, it's my first petrol strimmer so can't really compare to others sorry. Thanks for watching 👍
I have two of these machines one is about 5 years old still going strong and had a lot of hard work plastic's is cheap and fuel tank top if you don't put on properly it will leak fuel out and strimmers head cheap plastic so will brack avengely I put Oregon head on my one and great and only other thing had to change was fuel line when not in yeas empty tank of fuel and run machine to empty carb and it should start every time you need it and I run my machine fuel mix 25:1 but up to you
I thought you was matching your house bricks not adding cladding ..😢
I wish, my brick laying skills are good enough 🤣
Could have just painted or rendered.
Your right might have been easier, didn't really think of it at the time.
Non treated wood outside well done this is why if you dont know what you doing dont do it
Wood was all treated with a timber preserver, wood is not outside, vapour barrier used and was covered over. All signed off by local building control. What video did you watch?
shouldn't the vapour barrier go under the floor joists and above the concrete?
Yes, your correct it does and there was a second DMP sheeting under the joist, to difficult to video that bit. It was all signed off by building control.
@@mjsimo1 cool thanks. im doing a similar thing soon and i'm trying to make sure i'm doing it right
Hello do you still use this and would you recommend it now?
Yes, great little low cost machine. I use it at least twice a week. Downside is, it's a bit noisy.
@@mjsimo1 I believe all thickness planers are noisie. I've been looking at this one and one of the dewalt ones. Thank you for getting back to me.
I would have gone a little deeper....
Standard regs depth 800mm for water mains
I'll comment because you have none👍
Thank your so kind....
Looking to do a similar thing, do you need to put DPM behind the insulating wool?
DPM would go on top of the insulation and under the plasterboard warm side for walls and under/behind for floors. Vapour barrier that allows airflow is best used behind if needed cold side on external walls. Damp or condensation flash point is created when the cold & heat meet. I mostly had internal walls, so not needed.
Where did you buy it
eBay a trader bought a batch of 10 from china
Totally bad will sweat. Well done with the fake wood lol.
Thank you for taking the time to comment. I'm not sure why you think it will sweat? your welcome to explain to us all the physics behind that theory, cladding is fitted with the suppliers recommended vapour barrier which I'm told has millions of tiny holes in the sheeting to allow air and keep out water. 60 plus years ago when built, behind plastic white cladding above that window, house builders used old plastic bags and it didn't cause any issues and not one bit of rot.
Um beim nächsten Mal alles richtig zu machen gehört die OSB Platte auf die Innenseite. Aussen tyvek Folie und die bauphysik ist gerettet. Nicht alles was Amerika vormacht ist auch richtig. Augen auf beim Schuppenbau!!👍🇩🇪
Thank you, but I only speak English.
Love it, keep up the good work
Thanks dude, your going sleep in it 🤣🤣
The handlebar is wrong mounting. But great video
Thanks, I realised afterwards 🤣
Very impressive 👍👌
Thanks a lot 😊
Hi thank you for this video, really helpful! (Also ignore the comments about the bad music, I am not sure those people know that there is a mute button they can use 😂). Could you please tell me what the name of the metal brackets that hold up the joists is? You use them right the the beginning on either side when prepping the floor. Thank you!
And sorry one more thing, what is the second membrane (lighter green) that you put down before the insulation called (8:00)?
Hi Veronica, thank you for saying😊 there seems to be no pleasing some people and it's hard than it looks editing video's, I have a lot of respect for KZreadrs that are good at it. Metal brackets are called, joist hangers and are very similar www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-100mm-Galvanised-Light-Duty-Hanger---Pack-of-10/p/263711
It's called vapour barrier similar to this light gauge one www.screwfix.com/p/capital-valley-plastics-ltd-vapour-barrier-green-300ga-20m-x-2-5m/12869 it was used just to keep the insulation off the concrete floor.
Great job here mate this video helped me a lot! Thanks!!
Thank you, your very kind. If it just helps out one person it makes me very happy 👍
Vapour barrier on the inside of the stud, breather membrane on the outside. That will sweat
60 plus years ago when built, they lined the old cladding above with used plastic bags? never caused any issues.
That will sweat like a gypsy with a mortgage.
Pointless to do that. Time and money could have been spent on something better than that im sure. Though good job ive done that cladding a few times
It's fair comment, cheapest and easiest way to match in all the windows.
Looks worse, sorry
It's fair comment, the new buyer loved it...
Breathable membrane Plastic sheet will sweat the insulation and rot the timber GREAT😢
Thank you for your comment. It's hard to tell, but it is a breathable membrane with millions of tiny pin holes 😂
Can you make another short showing how it looks with the rest of the house
Watch my full video and you will see what the full affect of the house looks like, cheers kzread.info/dash/bejne/hI15yM2xcra9lso.html
You replaced a non-rotting material with something that will rot within years. You know how mad I would be if I knew you did that and I bought that house. I would be pissed.
Thank you for the comment, I guess the look worked cement boarding made to like timber will last 100 years 😂
for the money, these are cheaper to get then a tent, and better, to live in,
Your not far wrong 🤣 the only down side is the big flappy section at the bottom.
Cracking work Mark. I really enjoy this style of video, short intro and then timelapse. So fun to watch.
Awesome, thank you! and kind of you to say cheers.
As a woman, I bought one as well. I have so much old wood laying around I could make walls, art etc.❤
That is awesome! and really good to hear it's not only men that have interest in wood working. I would recommend getting a little handheld metal detector if your going to use old wood just in case of that hidden nail or screw.
@@mjsimo1 good advice! Thank You. I will look for that small thing. There will be nails somewhere on the way for sure, extra pair of cutting blades are needed.
great job Mark, when my workshop is built, hopefully this year, i'll move my gear out of the garage and do this to our garage... must be a Mark thing! perfect work and thanks for sharing
Excellent, good luck on your build, I'm sure it will be really good and look amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Can I ask what the size of your garden room is and what are you using for external and internal cladding please
Hi, the building is 7 meters long by 3.5 meters deep. Cladding is a combination of 11mm OSB for strength, house wrap and steel box profile sheet cladding www.cladco.co.uk/ externally, 12.5 plasterboard internally.
congratulations Mark, serious wind to contend with! could you answer a couple of questions please? how big is the building and how many days did it take to get to this stage? many thanks for sharing and i'm looking forward to starting mine when i've cleared the groud.
Hi, thank you. The building it's self is 7 meters wide by 3.5 meters deep, if you add in the decking it's 5 meters and it's 3 meters at the highest point. It's taken about 10 weeks so far (4/5 days per week) working on your own and the weather is a big factor. Hope it helps, good luck with your build.
@@mjsimo1 thanks Mark 👍
Well done! 👍👌
Thank you! Cheers!
Great work and great video. Can I ask what pitch you have on the roof? I was going to go for metal but google is telling me 3/12 pitch. This put me off
Thank you and kind of you to say. I worked out my pitch is 10 degrees overall and minimum pitch required for box profile sheeting is 4 degrees. Suppliers www.cladco.co.uk/ have lots of useful info on there website to help.
Did you need planning for this build or was it under PD?
Great question, I applied under permitted development yes, easy form to fill out form online.
@@mjsimo1Thanks. Can I ask what was your permitted max build size given the distance from the boundary and materials used. I ask because I have a similar project to do myself.
@@RC-oi1gg If 2 meters away from boundary fence line, maximum height 3 meters from highest ground point and max 30 square meters floor area. My build is 25sqm, always the best advise is to check with your local council.
Awesome job man, cracking on with that, I’ve just started building mine. Got the base done, but rain in Scotland has put me off a few days, I was thinking rubber for the roof, but what was your thinking of using the metal cladding?
Excellent and thank you. We have had a really bad year for wet weather and doesn't make it easy to build. I think a lot of my decisions are financial based lol. I did look into rubber roofing but it worked out more expensive, I also just like the idea of something well fixed down with big screws and it was very easy to install. Good luck with your build.
Thorough job, great stuff. Where are you based, are you in the London area?
Thank you and kind of you to take the time to comment. Lincolnshire area.
Hi Mark, thanks for sharing, really great job to accomplish this on your own, very impressive indeed. just a point... i always thought roofing panels should be fixed through the peaks rather than the valleys, can you advise please? the metal roofing looks really good, was thinking about using rubber but the sheets could be a good way to go.
Hi, thanks for watching. Your not wrong in thinking that way as I always believed that when working with corrugated sheeting you fix on the peaks. Check out the suppliers www.cladco.co.uk/ fitting info for this type of box roofing you fix in the valley with self sealing screws. I did think about fitting the rubber type roofing.
@@mjsimo1 Thanks for your reply Mark, i'm glad i didn't upset you in being (potentially) negative, it wasn't meant to be. i made the mistake of fitting some plastic roofing once in the valley so always assumed you had to fit roofing at the peaks, glad i was wrong in my point. you're doing a great job of the build looking forward to seeing more. all my best
