Thanks Alex 🙏 30 plugs should be plenty I hope 😂 I look forward to seeing your workshop build one day as that seems to be the typical RUclipsr journey 😂
I started watching this series more so for the concrete base how to as I was going to put a 15x10' pre-made shed on it for about £1500. Then I started watching from the beginning and thought this shed is much much better, pretty much just what I'd need. I was all geared up to follow it pretty much as is and do it myself as your videos are very clear and easy to follow, you've done a great job explaining everything. But then I started seeing all the price tags £££. It's all adding up and is probably out of my budget now, you think it'll be about £5k all up? I know if you were to get someone else to do it you'd be looking at double at least. I guess could save some money with the cladding and a felt roof, I'm not sure how much of a difference it would make. Still, subscribed and looking forward to your next vids in the series.
That's such a nice comment, thanks man! 🙏 I think I'm on track to spend £5/6k. If you went with wooden cladding it would be closer to £4/5k. I do plan to make a video on cost once all is said and done to speak about what you could do to make things cheaper. Pre-made sheds tend to be very cheaply made - even the more expensive ones. For some people that's all they need and that's fine. But don't think about hanging things off the walls, they won't have anywhere near the strength as something like this build. You're right about it costing double if you get someone to build it for you, at least. If you're willing to roll your sleeves up and give everything a go you'll save a fornute! Good luck with whatever option you go with!
@@sumeraybuilds Thanks for your reply bud. I could also save a bit more by using a metal skin on 2 of the sides that I won't see, as it's going in the corner of the block. I know what you're saying about the pre built sheds, eg the roofing was only 9mm I think, wouldn't want to stand on it! I might just need to punish the credit card, I think it would be worth it. 🙂
It's probably too late but if you are filming and planning on using led panel lights, sockets in the ceiling are really handy, though you can run the plug up the wall like I have on a few. You will definitely use the double in the ceiling, my 2 are full. Great job bud.
I work for a gardening company, one thing we always recommended when laying piping/cables under ground/soil, cover the top of whatever you are laying directly with a layer of 5mm pea shingle stones, eg say 5cm above the cable in this case, then cover the stones with the soil/grass etc. This way if someone down the road is digging in this area it will be obvious to them that there is something here and they should proceed with caution. Imo this is better long term as that half cut pipe will be made mincemeat of buy a digger bucket/ someone hand digging, whereas the stones will make them take notice
I always designed a darkroom’s power requirements as “think of all the powered devices you’ll ever need and then double it”. Never failed. Same applies to a workshop.
Not sure how deep you buried that cable but it should be a minimum of 600mm deep and be covered with a marker tape to warn that a cable is below to comply with wiring regs. Also you’ll probably get interference on that data cable as you’ve run it with power cables
This is a bad example - That cable wasn't buried anywhere deep enough: Only just a spade's depth deep, so could easily be damaged by someone digging a veg patch in that location in the future. (Minimum 500mm is recommended, I believe); It's supposed to be bedded on pea gravel or sand, and you're supposed to fit a warning tape in the trench ~150mm above it. Otherwise, I've been enjoying the series!
I personally wouldn't use spots in a workshop. They produce too harsh a light and will cast shadows. The workshop is looking great I bet you can't wait to get in there. 👍
I have positioned them so they’ll all fall above the counter tops so I believe it’ll be plenty bright enough. 🤞will see in the next episode if this works out as I intended. And thanks 🙏
Nice job jack a must say i have 1 double socket in my workshop and it's extension cable everywhere i need get more put in. Best it is the junction boxs are there. 🙄 Have you consodered sticking a socket on the floor be a good one for the table saw and say shop vac? Certianly ideal having more than not enough. Oh btw i oreered the track with your link the other day. Thanks for that 🏴👍
@@sumeraybuilds yea only 1 not my choice I plan on getting sparky in when I get back into shop properly once get rid the 🤬 kids from school holidays. 26 days and counting. Not that am counting 😬. No worries mate got me sommit free so can't complain and I've mentioned it to few professionals in the industry so think they'll be ordering to.👍🏴
Is there any flex in the cable mate?I need to power my workshop from my my main fuseboard which is at the front of the house but my shed is at the bottom of the back garden
You really do need armoured for it to pass regs/ get a electric cert. However, it is technically possible to put normal T&E cable in conduit and bury it, but it's not as strong and won't get signed off (This is my understanding would be handy if an electrian could confirm)
Incorrect. If it's fed from an rcd you can do whatever you like. I however would recommend twinwall ducting with swa. Belt and braces. Twinwall is pretty cheap, cover with electric barrier tape. Oh, GET A SPARK IN!! THEY HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE!! There's a reason it takes 5 years to become a spark.
Did you notify the council about the electrical cable in your back garden via architectural drawings I also see you didn't bury the SWA any where near deep enough why didn't you encase the SWA in a concrete culvert ?? Or concrete protection on top of the cable ?? And now electrical protection tape ?? Please take this video down and remove any reference to your crap electrical work your work is dangerous
Watching from the USA.🇺🇸 great job keep up the great work
Awesome! Thank you! 1 more episode to go before it’s done!
Looks awesome - can’t wait to see how it looks when it’s all finished. Agree about the “better to have too many then too few” sockets as well!
Thanks Alex 🙏 30 plugs should be plenty I hope 😂

Looking good dude, great video, thank you, stay lucky and keep 'em coming
Thanks, will do! Nearly done now!

love the space bud. Looks brilliant. 15 doubles is good. I have 12 and thought I had too many, Dont worry 15 is good.
Thanks for confirming! I can't wait for it to be done now!!
It's probably too late but if you are filming and planning on using led panel lights, sockets in the ceiling are really handy, though you can run the plug up the wall like I have on a few. You will definitely use the double in the ceiling, my 2 are full. Great job bud.
I only put that ceiling socket in because of your video - thanks for the tip!

Yeah that’s a good point to raise here, I wish I had done this too but too late now!
I always designed a darkroom’s power requirements as “think of all the powered devices you’ll ever need and then double it”. Never failed. Same applies to a workshop.
Great tip! I’m pretty confident in my 15 double sockets 😂

😅 thanks for the tips. It’s too late for me but hopefully others can benefit from this comment!

That's totally fair, a couple of folks have pointed that out now so hoping people pick up on it in the comments. Thanks!

Great videos , very inspiring.
How much has the workshop build cost in total up to this point ?
Thanks 🙏 im going to do a dedicated episode soon talking about costs and breaking down. But it’s about £7k all in all!
Not convinced you didn't leave Ollie buried in that trench since his sudden absence from the rest of the video. Did you remember to take him out?
😂 now I realise why the grass didn’t finish level…
Send help, running out of worms.

Only 1! And i did consider the floor but because it concrete I thought against it.
And thanks for using my link 🙏

Just a quick one to help people in the future. You was using a 12mm wood spade or flat bit. Not a 12mm drill bit.
Thanks 🙏
Spot lights or flood lights. For light dispersion?
I have 10 spotlights like this in my kitchen and they're incredibly bright so I'm fairly sure this will be plenty 🤞
nOOICE!
Thanks 🙏
When i built my workshop i didn't put in enough sockets so its definitely better to have too many rather than not enough
Thanks for confirming what I thought!
Did you notify the council about the electrical cable in your back garden via architectural drawings I also see you didn't bury the SWA any where near deep enough why didn't you encase the SWA in a concrete culvert ??
