About me:
I'm Aiden and I'm documenting what was supposed to be my barn conversion, which has now ended up being a new build. I don't have a trade, I just have a go and I'll be doing lots of work myself. This is the boring bit in grand designs that you don't get to see. Subscribe and follow along to find out how our future home turns out.

What's in my hand?
5 fingers?
You didn't do a Russel Brand did you? It was so small I must have missed it.....only joking, would have required a wide angle lens of course! 👍
The pasta strainer cracked me up
Bottle of 🍺
Nose bug at the tip of your fingers.
Keep it up Gary!! Aiden, we appreciate all your efforts. Cheers
you are appreciated and thank you for you help and content
I had to watch the intro sequence twice because Ria pointed out to me you were holding a different item in each clip. I had literally seen you with a sieve and a fire extinguisher when I watched it for the first time, and yet I didn't even question it... WTF is wrong with my brain??? 😂 🤦♂️ I reckon you're right though: if your channel has started in 2015, same content, same period of time, your channel would have seen far more success... it's a much harder grind now. I'd be gutted if your videos stopped coming!
Really liked this video, it's great to see someone being so honest (second half of the video) with their metrics. Its really hard to find out this information for the smaller channels, the big guys do it but its great to see how it translates down the chain.
Thanks mate, the metric stuff was still an overview though really, it's hard to do these things without it being a bore fest 😁
I thought it was really interesting@@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT
This man should have the world at his feet he's so real and just love watching him
There will be unforseen amazing consequences, wait and see. You work with integrity and have insight about what people need (but may not know it yet) - the boring bits from grand designs. Focus on the process and the results will take care of themselves. Thank you Aiden 😊
Ah thanks mate 😊
So weird seeing you without a hat! Supposedly the first 10k subs are the hardest but you've cracked that, so hopefully that snowball will start to pick up some speed. Keep at it fella, always enjoy your stuff and it's inspired me to do more on my own house than I might have, including the one day courses I did on lime in building and plastering, so your videos have had a small ripple effect to other businesses.
It's always easier to chuck on a hat to do DIY hey 😂 I'm due a hair cut though
Weirdly I have not seen this although I follow the channel……
The weird big is I am sat in the south of France with a very similar view
@@dougsaunders8109 nice 🌞🍹
@@THE-AIDEN-PROJECTbloody oath. All the best to you and your good lady. 🍷
YES GAZZA
Thanks
Cheers mate 😀
Top stuff mate
To be honest, think most your content is better than many* of the DIYers, it annoys me they market themselves as amazing and on occasion do mediocre jobs. Whereas you are honest in where your skills sit and in general over achieve 😂 need to get some bigger context going, cart lodge, bathroom etc. Was good 👍🏼 (*caveat: not all other DIY channels but several)
Thanks mate 👍 yeah that's a good idea about the context thing, spinning plates makes it all abit difficult 😅
Nice part of the world to holiday in. We lived for almost 12 years down there until family decision and some brexit thing put the mockers on it.
Nice pool view BTW
Are you fluent in French? Lou does like the idea of living abroad, I said I would if she learnt the language and was fluent first 😁
less than minimum wage for the hours we put in Gary ;)
Maybe it'll be worth it one day 😬
What do I win 😂😂😂
Ah thanks dude 😎 you win a picture of a sloth 🦥
Aaah, magic
I wont lie the best part of this video was your girlfriend in the pool, but even that was interupted by a fecking advert. Theres no justice.
You're kidding, Arthur is the star of the show!👍
There's a spike in the retention graph for watch time on that part 😂 bunch of pervs haha
onlyfans 😅😂
Thanks Aidan, you might not have many supporters but the ones you do have are pretty loyal. Keep going mate.
Thanks Eddy, appreciate it 😊
Love it Gary! Nutter... 😂👍
Do you get paid when viewers of your videos use ad-blockers?
Unfortunately not 🙈
☹@@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT
What a wonderfully honest video, a rare quality these day, well done 🙏
I really enjoy all of the types of video you create. Love the vlog style ones especially. Keep going mate, appreciate everything you do
I like the Vlog side of thing. But I suppose it is difficult for new viewers to dive in.....they might have to watch lots of past videos to understand what is going on. Not gonna happen with most people.
Discrete projects spread over max 2 or 3 videos is better. But I like seeing the project grow incrementally.
Glad you like them!
There’s a a lot of ‘fake it til you make it’ crap on RUclips… I reckon there’s a lot of people doing exactly what you did for your spoof at the start.
Man just keep it up, from "little acorns mighty Oaks grow" the colab with Rag 'n' Bone Brown was great, got me over here. Look at what is being done on the DIY channels and do something different, see if there is something no one is doing on the DIY channels. Proper DIY youtube channel does different things about his property, a mate of Keith as well. Never BS about anything, just say I don't know about this but----- let's see what we can learn together. Never worry about the keyboard warriors telling you your crap and know nothing, ignore them. if they were any good they would have their own YT channel. Hope all goes well for you.
Thanks buddy 👍 good suggestions there 😉
What is wrong with Patreon?
I would never do it myself - I'm too mean - but a lot of people like to support a channel and watch it grow. 👍
I don't really like the subscription business model, it just feels wrong
Sieve!...nice vid, always a good watch👍
A great honest insight. I've referred to your videos on wet verge tiling and undercloaking etc. Very useful, well explained and filmed.
You have a very personable manner - "I don't have a trade, I have a go"... but clearly you are very focused. You deserve to do well. 👍
Thanks Paul 😁 hopefully your roof turned out great then 😉
Keep up the good work Aiden! Loved your collaboration with Keith Brown. I'd like to see more of those with the RUclips gang you're part of (Proper DIY, The Restoration Couple etc.)
Maybe one day 😉
Respect for honesty don’t change the content love it
what was it with a fire extiquisher, bottle of water, flour siv being carried about..... product placement and sponsorship?
A spin on pope in the pool 😆 I had something different in my hand for each scene
@@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT you've lost me now. I saw no Pope in the pool just a babe :)
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator haha I'll send you a video to show you what it means. Not exclusively for that though, it was also a subtle way to indicate I wasn't being serious
Yeah, we aren't that far apart. I have a bit more subs and a bit less views I believe... And all I got until now was 2.9k Reais. Something around 600 dollars at the time, I guess.
But, well... It's just my hobby, so... 😬
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I liked Gary. Be more like Gary
I for one do care about you and what you are doing mate. My wife and I are in a very similar situation to you and are about to embark on a similar project. The realities of a project like this is great to learn from.
What is the number one bit of advice you would give?
Cheers.
Minus the RUclips bit. Not doing that 😂
Thanks
Ah thanks buddy 🙌 appreciate it
An honest upfront RUclips content creator 💙
Love your vlogs Aiden, glad you kept going. You are very engaing and amusing, and explain things so that an idiot like me can understand it. I think your are very brave in what you have taken on. I can only admire your determination to see it through. Wish i'd discovered your channel earlier but im catching up with everything now, so hopefully your views will go up a bit. Keep them coming!
Thanks Duncan ☺️
I hope they don't find any bodies or coke in your mansion, or your empire will collapse Don Gary, Cosa Nostra😂
Haha when Lou watched it she said it's like something from that film Sexy Beast
Nooo, please don't pack it in. Or if you do, let Garry take the channel over, be nicer weather on most of the vids that way at least 😂
Haha I might have to if I have to get a rubbish job 😂 Lou would probably love to live abroad
Awesome video Aiden. You had me for the first few minutes.
Great content on how little this journey pays. But you never know- you may win the RUclips lottery.
Gotta be in it to win it 😁
Okay, only another 2 years til we earn 🤣 I was hoping we'd get contributions towards the renovation as we went along, not at the end - guess I better work on my editing lol! Well done though, the last few months you've gone up pretty quick!
Thanks 👍 it's definitely a hard game to play hey 😅
The acting was really good! 👍😁
keep trying love the content
The only way is up! Looking forward to the only fans mate 😂
Haha i wonder how many people would like to see my big tool 😂
Brilliant mate, all the best 👍
You're riding the avalanche, so now your income should snowball.
Collaboration with other RUclipsrs is a good idea. Their subscribers get to meet you. Gosforth Handyman has given you a shout out before. He's a good guy too.
That villa was spectacular.....but Acer View is gonna be great too.
You should change your name to Gary, easier for me to spell 👍
Haha I wish it was an avalanche
I am a DIY enthusiast, currently building a woodworking shop. I came here from seeing you work with another YTer. Not many people want to talk about YT earnings which is no surprise. I actually enjoyed this, you come across as a nice guy enjoying his own journey, but making time to share it with those who may be interested. Down to earth, straight talking and honest. That has earned you one more subscriber to get that snowball rolling. Best of luck Aiden.
Ah thanks mate 👍 hope your shop build is going well
Keep the vlog style Gary, it’s very informative, interesting and good to pick certain things up.
If you do snippets on how to do things it’ll end up like a lot of the rest.
I’m on with my second and final renovation/conversion and I’ve picked up some great points you’ve covered ie, the laser, which I got just after the discount ended, it has been invaluable and robust (took a direct hit from a piece of 4x2 and is still going), drainage and how to test, expansion joints etc etc
Keep doing what your doing, also you could do a sideline as comedian, this was a brilliant one, had me also at the start!
Thanks mate 😁 I probably will stick to vlog style as it's just easier to get on with it and film as I go 😉
🤣🤣
Thanks 'Not a Gary' for this insight to RUclips and how it works. Although, I've seen a few Tubers getting ready to quit as the rules are changing and the content producers are on the short end of the stick. Take care & stay safe.
I've seen this too but also there's an influx of guru's saying you can make a tonne of money in other ways from RUclips 🤷 I can't get my head round it though 😂
Gary!! Lol 😂😂😂 I love your channel! Keep being you!
Thank you! Will do!
You've not done bad at all mate! Will be gutted if you gave it up
Cheers dude. Hopefully I won't have to give up, I do like doing it. We shall see
really interesting to see how it all works. keep it up gary
Cheers dude 👍
Top video mate
Cheers dude
Thanks for the information
My pleasure
My pleasure
Good to hear some more honesty about RUclips dude, not the lies most punt!
