It’s Been Hanging There for 2 YEARS… Until Now

- For the past two years, our ceiling light has been a constant reminder of the small DIY jobs that never seem to get done. With Christmas around the corner, I decided it was time to finally fix it-but not just with a quick repair. My partner has always dreamed of a chandelier, so I took a chance and found one on Facebook Marketplace. It was free, surprisingly grand, and, in my opinion, perfect for the space (even if it’s a bit over the top). In this video, I’ll take you through the journey of turning a long-forgotten task into a holiday surprise. Will it brighten up the room-and her day-or leave me wishing I’d stuck to my original plan? Watch to see how this last-minute DIY project turns out and let me know if you'd have done things differently!

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.

Why was expecting this to end up like that episode of only fools and horses 😂
😂
Thanks for the 'light' entertainment Aiden.
Moral of the story is.....procrastination is the delay of disappointment.
Have a great one mate.
Moral of the story, free chandler proves you were right, does not go in the room!
You old romantic Aiden. Well done and at least you tried. Merry Christmas to you both👍
The other one looks exactly the flippin same! Change the bulbs to more fancy looking ones and you've got a winner there. She's so ungrateful.
But yeah it's way too big for that space, you were absolutely right.
Merry Christmas to you and yours too. Only question I would ask is what's next on the build?
10/10 for effort Aiden.
i like your headlight
Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes.
Merry Christmas Aiden
Merry Christmas to you Arthur and lou! What's the biggest achievement you want from 2025?
Two years is nothing! lol Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Q&A - Your love for the Barn was infectious what’s gone wrong?
Question... what did you used to do before working on your house?
Merry Christmas mate. My question would be. Have you had any more problems with rats and mice in the van? A weird question probably, but I'm curious.
Merry Christmas!
I feel this is the equivalent of:
Person 1: What do you want for tea?
Person 2: I don't know, anything
Person 1: Chinese?
Person 2: No not Chinese
Person 1: Indian?
Person 2: No not Indian
Person 1: ..........
Another great video 👍 Having had fancy light fittings in the past, I can guarantee that was the first and last time it will be cleaned 😂
One for the Q&A, you've explained about creating content for revenue (which I understand) but do you still progress the house off camera?
You’re either very foolish or very brave treading on unpredictable territory there Aiden.
Happy Christmas and New Year (if you live through them) to you both!!! 😂
Merry Christmas to you both and I hope 2025 brings you all that you desire - one question I do have now is; how many times have you hit your head on that light? 😂 Thanks for sharing your journey.
My dad’s a spark and there is still a grey cable with insulating tape on the end hanging out the ceiling in the spare room from when they moved in…15 years ago. Still trying to find the right sky hook for the fitting or something?
Merry Christmas to you both and I hope 2025 brings you all that you desire - one question I do have now is; how many times have you hit your head on that light? 😂 Thanks for sharing your journey. Oh and what happened to the knives? 2questions then 😅
I know your pain. My other half deems quality via price.
My question is, what are your future plans after the house is finished or do you not look that far ahead yet. Hope you're feeling better you mentioned being unwell recently 👍
Suppose you will get to taking it down in a couple of years 😂😂😂😂😂
It does look cheap, maybe if you at least put some posh candle led bulbs
Question: knowing what you know now, would you choose to do another self build?
Ha... I'd leave that there for another 2 years and see if it grows on her 😂
I have two not very exciting questions , firstly what camera do you use and what editing software? Second question, how are the cats and has there been any sight of rats since the cats arrived?
That’s 4 not very exciting questions. 😂
I was looking forward to see her expression, I thought her little face would light up. Alas it could only be described as ‘pixelated’.
How ungrateful and materialistic of her!
I personally don't see much difference between the one you got and the £1.5k one you showed on the website?!
Those wago connectors are shit and always fail….
You walked into that....winging it just a bit maybe??....when are you getting back to the selfbuild details Aiden....
Be Honest, what was the first thing that come to mind? Grandad you can hit it now,lol
chandeliers look tacky most of the time
Not a total disaster. It hasn't cost much, apart from petrol and time. It will give you some idea of what sort of light will work in that space.....I bet you end up spending a fortune on some overpriced Italian hand blown glass and brass job....for what is in truth an office space or guests bedroom.
Funny how we are so brand conscious, when you said it was Laura Ashley for a fraction of a second Lou seemed to think it was OK.....then she realised you're a lying barsteward and it was ghastly.
Remind her, it's the thought that counts.....and size isn't everything!!!!
Too big for the room and such a low ceiling.
me after looking at the two chandeliers, the one that is free and the other one 1.5k pounds =
THEY ARE THE SAME PICTURE
