There's nothing wrong with wanting to make your dad happy. Excellent work.
To use a metaphor from the dog/pet world: Love goes both ways on the leash; clearly here, father-son-father-son-...love was at work.
Thank you for sharing.
Nice brother. I grew up in a commercial
Cabinet manufacturing plant/business and got into sustainable design. Sometimes not compromising involves compromise. I used to throw around the term uncompromising ecological architecture. It’s about balance perspective and the journey. Thx for sharing. Enjoying your your style. Keep it up
Very nice build and it was what the customer (your dad) wanted. I especially liked your color coding of the building parts as you were describing their assembly and function. Really easy to follow.
I envy you for living in such a green place, in a good way!
Great project - we were assembling a similar kit at around the same time - luckily the concrete was already done for us. You've made a great job of it and I'm sure your Dad is touched by your skills and efforts.
Really great job. Your dad is probably most proud of you!
“…you can see Sam vibrating in the background…” I am sorry but that was my favourite, thinking of my field of electronics where we like pieces of crystal vibrating along in a stable way 😎
You are alright in my book. All corral busy a side. You all did one heck of a job. Congratulations!
😊👍🏻
The lesson learned you did it with Dad it’s more important than the building itself.
It's beautiful.
A bit of advice, appreciate your dad all day, and every day you have left with him.
Good advice!
Well said, I would love to have the opportunity just to speak with my father again. Do not hesitate to spend every moment you can with them while they are living.
Every Dad deserves a fine shed/workshop, nicely done!
Beautiful workshop in a beautiful setting. Great job, gentlemen!
Thanks for all the effort you have put in to making this film! Your dad is lucky to have you all help him like this, job well done! When the wall rots, that foundation can be used to build a house, it will last for centuries.
Advice for your Dad;
You may find a weather wall made of elm or oak (or brick), would extend the life of the garage. That system works ok in the dry inland of Norway, but will have quite limited life in your area of UK without the now illegal creosote stuffed with poison covering it. Boxing in the exposed end grain might help a bit too. Have a look at some of the films on my channel (antiquarian wooden house restoration in Norway). Sadly the exterior treatment will not likely help much in the longevity of the building, since it keeps moisture inn as well as out. I suppose it is quite windy where you are, that may help keep it dry.
Congratulations on you new Shed!
Hey Lucas, thanks for the advice and kind words - very encouraging!
Dad’s shed is beautiful.
Haha! "A kit of parts that theoretically fit together" - reminds me of my dear departed Hubby, who was a certified Harley Davidson mechanic and used to say much the same about a Sportster motorcycle - that "a Sportster is a pile of parts that *almost* fit together." Thanks for the pleasant memory. Lovely cabin, nicely done video. Thumbs up!
Oh wow, thanks for sharing rbud, appreciate that.
You post quality content no matter the type of content. Great video mister! Thumbs up for Dad projects!
Appreciate that Gary, thanks for watching and for the algorithm appeasement ;)
What a surprise Flowering Elbow. I have been absent from the tube and you build a building Real nice work Bongo. What I like best is the thick 4 inch insulation in the floor. The cost is overlooked with years of comfort and enjoyment in the workshop. I have scored foot thick industrial fiberglass insulation for my house which will work well when I place the stuff under the roof. You know most of the heat is lost in the ceiling of any building. The construction you did really worked out well. The number of workers involved including your neighbor really worked out well. Look forward to great projects in the new fathers shop. Good day fella too. VF
Hey VF, great to hear from you :D
Yeah, this shed is taking taking a beating ATM from storms here in the UK, but just about surviving. We still need to insulate the inside walls and roof... But that's a job my dad can do at his leisure ;) Hope all's well with you, peace, Bongo.
@@FloweringElbow FE So nice to hear from you fella. Am wondering what the cost was of this construction project ??? Hope you have a Happy Holidays for you and the family. Peace VF
@@victoryfirst2878 Not 100% sure in terms of $$ as it was my dad's purchase - he bought the shed before COVID times so it was significantly cheaper. Though the company didn't deliver it till well into Covid...
It was a lot of work, I know that much ;)
@@FloweringElbow What is your email FE ?? Thanks VF
Really glad you shared this! Excellent job. I know it's not your style, but still interesting to see your approach and nice to know everyone has to compromise some times! X
Appreciate that, thanks James :)
So glad you included this. It’s all good. Brilliant! I look forward to your next adventure.
I just like your narrative and insight through the hurdles that come with each and every project good job on video
Impressive job. Extended my own small workshop with this kind of kit (just much smaller), really really easy to assemble and all the corners interlocked….1/2 day.
Fantastic product, build and video. Thanks for sharing. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
That is a shop anyone would be proud to have. Nice job!
Thanks 👍
Well done! Thank you for sharing this project with us…my dad helped me build our log cabin almost 20 years ago here in Montana…he passed away a few months ago…cherish the time with family! Cheers, from the US!
Good morning Carlos. Really appreciate that friend. Peace n love from Wales.
IN DEFENSE OF CONCRETE
I politely object to your remark "the concrete base certainly isn't what you'd call environmentally friendly" [12:52].
Let me explain:
1. When measuring environmental impact, if one is serious about it, the lifespan of the product needs to be taken into consideration. Concrete's lifespan is so long that when you spread its environmental impact across its useful life, you get the greenest material of all. This is especially true of a quality pour like the one you've accomplished here, which will require zero maintenance for perhaps centuries, and as Lucas Richard Stephens brilliantly pointed out, "when the wall rots, that foundation can be used to build a house, it will last for centuries".
2. For the reasons explained above, I propose that the wooden structure is the one that's certainly not environmentally friendly, given the amount of continuous maintenance it will require throughout its short lifespan, before it needs to be replaced altogether. When you add up the environmental cost of continuous maintenance and untimely replacement, you will realize that the most environmentally friendly option would have been to build the entire structure out of reinforced concrete, including the roof.
I grew up in Italy where it's common to live in buildings constructed 800 years ago with concrete and rock. Those buildings have little or no maintenance requirements and they will still be standing and providing utility long after all of us are gone. Zero environmental impact.
I was shocked when I moved to the United States and observed the way homes are built here, as temporary structures, destined to be torn down and replaced after just a couple of decades. Doesn't matter if you build it out of hemp or any of the other trendy materials now being pushed. If you have to keep building it over and over again, you are not doing anything good for the environment, nor your wallet.
Paul, I have a good amount of sympathy with this line of thought, thanks for sharing.
Glad you shared the build. Interesting hearing the rational for choices you made. I don't think that everything has to be up cycled and the peak of sustainability, that's not really possible when plans meet teams of different people with different motivations and goals. Life is all about compromise and doing the best you can with what you've got. I respect that you have the integrity to share this project which you may not of 100% agreed with all the aspects of.
Thanks for that Leo, appreciated 🙏
Beautiful workshop!
You should make more videos with this project.
You have taken it this far, I would really like to see
it get finish.
Thanks
Thanks DMc, I'm just not sure this is the kind of thing that ever gets 'finished'... the backhoe is in use, and I just don't have the time to bring it to perfect, with all the paint and everything else done... One day maybe.
That finish really pops! Great work.
Nice clean build and a beautiful location.
Just found you!!! That’s a beautiful barn!!!
Hey Glimmer, thanks and welcome aboard.
Beautiful video, and a nice gesture. Nice one.
Good choice of slab.
Well done looks great 👍
Oh man, such Gorgeous place you live in!!
A Great looking shed
a great job! I am building a 5 x 3 and thought that was big until I saw yours!!
Wow. That came out really nice.
Thanks Bill.
Looks great
nice build. i like the design
Terrific building.....many thanks for sharing....
Thank you too Robert ;)
Great looking shed!!
Thanks!
Nice one, you make me feel a bit less guilty. Can't have money and time for all projects. I poured two concretes slab this year and found out the laser reference is great for leveling. For stretching I made something like a straight edge with two handles. Works great but requires more energy than the vibrating one. Keep up the good work and the good inspiration. Cheers from France
Hey LouTouze. Thanks for that. As you say never enough money and time for all projects. I also used a laser to level up the ply shuttering, as well as the sand blinding layer. Makes leveling such a large area easier for sure - still takes ages, went I do it anyway ;)
Peace, Bongo.
Interesting shed kit. I've never had the opportunity to put one together. Most of the structures I build are stick framed. Looks like a fun build. Glad you shared it.
Hey Justin, thanks man appreciate that :)
One Aunt and Uncle had their beach front home built of similar methods, tongue and groove logs to be specific. Despite the advertised insulating of logs, this model is not thermally sealed. Their home had creaks and groans and drafts galore and was always a little cooler than desired.
For a garage / workshop I don't think it will be an issue, but I wouldn't use it as a home.
@@jaquigreenlees 44 mm isn't exactly a lot of timber in terms of insulation and the tongue and groove probably isn't enough to keep the wind out. Old Scandinavian homes were built from 100 to 120 mm logs with a proper air seal on the outside (roofing felt under the exterior cladding) and they're supposed to be OK by today's standard of living, although maybe not great.
Heck! A chap who addresses me correctly - in the singular. Thank you very much for that. only a minute in so far, but it looks good. Thank you.
Good day Ian. Appreciate you watching and leaving a comment. Greetings from Wales.
Was a great video as always
We appreciate that Lance! :)
I really like this video
Having built a smaller log cabin it's worth keeping on eye on the exposed lap joints as they can trap water and rot.
Good to know, thanks David.
@@FloweringElbow My one had 45mm logs, double tongue and groove. I didn't keep up with the maintenance e.g. painting (it was at a remote site - Anglesey) and it lasted about 15 years before the corners and rotted out and the caban starting to collapse.
Great video.
Thanks!
Very nice!
Thanks for the visit
Darn fine job working the Concrete. Intense labour using wheelbarrow.
Thanks for watching. Sam says, 'yeah, tell me about it'!
first time viewing your channel, nice video...you have a very soothing voice😃
Hey Ricky. Thanks for that man. My voice has been compared to Chubacker before but never described as soothing - that really made me smile. Thanks again, and welcome :)
With my Aunt and Uncle's beachfront home being built of tongue and groove logs I know well they are structurally sound and thermally lacking.
Your dad will have a lot of drafts seeping through the walls.
On a slightly different note, you might enjoy a long running series of videos I collated into a playlist:

The Outsider's Log Cabin on a budget series.
He selectively logs cedars to build a log cabin in Northern Ontario while trying to spend as little as possible.
The most recent ( after 2 + years of videos ) they finally have the cabin enclosed and can start finishing details inside.
salad finger is what I was thinking about
Right on, I can't get that off my mind either.
I've recently been constructing a 9x7m shed, very similar (but timber frame) - very easy to underestimate the amount of work in the groundwork. And quite technical.
Good morning Highland Malt, very true - especially on a slope and where you need to make access. We actually spent at least as long working on the drive. Good luck.
This was a well-done, concise, presentation of the layout and construction of the project, and I enjoyed it. One cannot possibly, however, reasonably call it a log cabin. There was nary a log in sight the entire time. Notching boards at the corners to interlock them does not cause them to revert from boards to logs. Nevertheless, it was an interesting look at a kit build.
Hey Craig. I kinda agree with you. I guess I have been going with the flow and calling it that because the manufacturers/marketers / sellers call it that and it's got lodged in my brain. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. Bongo.
Hi I hope you read this, I bought and had installed a 5m by 5m log cabin and finished it in a similar way with a ronsil shed and fence preserver 3 coats.
The building at this point is not WATERPROOF. Every heavy rain alot of water comes in in the corners and weather facing sides.
Every joint vertical and horizontal has to be siliconed. After 1 year I did this and painted it.
Now it doesnt look as good but its waterproof.
Hi Sbi32, thanks for sharing, appreciate that.
Very informative video for anyone considering assembling this type of kit. I agree that the insulated concrete is a sensible compromise. It will stabilise the temperature for this and future building for more than a century. I like the single pouring of foundations and floor. Did you consider laying PEX pipe in the concrete for under floor heating? 🤔 Clearly not cost effective if the workshop is just used occasionally but might be worthwhile at some time in future if the workshop is used daily.
Hey there, thanks for getting in touch. To be honest we didn't really consider underfloor heating (mainly because, as novices doing the project, there's already just so much to think about) though if we were to do-over...
Thanks for sharing. Good family relations aren't a waste at any time. Might not be the 'best' but it could be much worse for the environment. ... Take care.
The roof should have been counter battened to allow air flow between the roof paper and the roof material
You upcycled the shorn flowers from your father's elbows 😉
I hate buying concrete. It’s the one thing that when it’s delivered, YOU work for them on their schedule. Not a customer friendly industry.
Haha so true :')
This was a very nice project with great helpers too. Great preparation of the land leveling the site, etc. How will it be powered: wired electric; solar; other? Thanks for sharing.
Hi Patrick, thanks for getting in touch. It has an armoured cable coming in, that we dug a deep trench for with the old backhoe...
Thanks for posting it. While it might not be your usual fare it's still an interesting project, both for what it is and philosophically 😅 (Nearly) Everyone who cares about sustainability has to struggle with compromises, so if nothing else it's important for your audience to know you don't escape them entirely. And what better way to express some of the problems than with a good example.
Good morning Geoff. Thanks for this. true indeed.
the term is overused propaganda to funnel your money and lifestyle by guvs/corps.

a good son
I would guess the kit was made in the baltics and not in scandinavia despite what you were told? Most kits like this I have seen here in Norway and Sweden have come from the baltics so it would seem a bit strange if we exported them. Besides, it would definately be very expensive :-)
My mum have a shed made with the same materials and technique. The outside corners are very suspectible to rot due to water getting into them. There have also been water ingress between each plank and rot have started there as well in a couple of places. I do not know about your climate so just a tip for what to watch out for as time passes. Myself, I would cover all the outside corners and perhaps even the walls themselves. Especially on the weather side if you have that phenomenon.
We spent last winter felling and chainsaw milling spruce for a combined workshop/garage at a friends cabin. We will start fitting it together this fall once the permits are in place. I write "fitting" as it is a traditional building called "Grindbygg". I guess it translates to "trestle frame building" or similar. That might be a building technique you have interest in for future building projects as it is feasible to mill the timbers for the structure by yourself and you dont need a level surface to put them up (for a workshop I would want a level surface myself :-) ) Here is a nice animation on how it comes together after making the cuts for the fitting.
ruclips.net/video/G7wyqv_aPlc/видео.html
Compromice is a necessity.. Thanks for a fun video. Shame about the concrete delivery driver.
Good day Rolf, really appreciate that comment, thanks! I highly suspect you're right about where the timber comes from...
Great advice / warning about the corners. Did your mum's one get coated in any preservative?
Watched the 'Grindbygg' vide animation. Yeah that's the ticket. Would like to make something more like that... Might even be able to mill a lot of joint on the CNC once it's working...
Thanks again, Bongo.
@@FloweringElbow Much of the fun of building a treastle frame building is making those cuts :-) We do them all with a small electric chainsaw. A steady hand and a plan for the cut does the trick. Let me know if you get serious about it and I'll send you some written documentation on how it is done.
My mum have painted the shed very carefully over the years. No other preservatives has been used there unfortunately. The second to best might have been to paint or treat the joints as the building came up. The best to cover it from the outside. As long as water is able to get in there I guess there might be problems. Both my mum and I live on coasts facing west, so every low pressure system passing over you hits us as well.
I guess I have created enough trouble and sleepless nights for you now. Sorry about that :-)
@@rolfnilsen6385 Hello Rolf, I've also watched the animation and that's something I would love to try too. Would you be so kind and share with me the written documentation you mentioned above?
Thanks in advance.
Great project with great helpers. I'd like to know the make model of the cabin kit.
Thanks for sharing!
Hey thanks Nick, the helpers were awesome! As for the make: it's a big one in the UK... I hesitate to affiliate / advertise for them... You'll find it easily with google. Or if you push me I'll say... Peace Bongo.
@@FloweringElbow I've had great fun helping / organising / sorting / building 2 Dunster House W6.5m x D3.5m cabins.

Nice build. Did I miss the link to the actual kit?
Dad can have a nice shed if he wants one. Wheres the water harvesting tank?
lol... gutters and anything like that yet to be added.
NOW THE PAD TODRIVE INTO THE SHED ;)
My stepson, when he was about 4, always wanted to read the "constructions" when any assembly was required. His mom still tells him that he must mentally make himself "read the constructions". (He is 22 years old.)
отличный сарай у папы. древесина как выглядит спустя год?
Сам лес в порядке. Покрытия, которые выбрал мой папа, работают хорошо.
У нас были некоторые проблемы с утечкой воды - я не уверен, что конструкция ложи соответствует валлийским уровням проливного дождя ... Если делать это снова, у меня возникнет соблазн проложить силиконовый шарик между каждым «бревном» во время его сборки.
Good job ! Is your house locate in rural village or near a town beautiful and calm environment ❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹🌹🌳🌳🌳
What stain did you use? Please!
Are you going to show the inside on your next video?
Good question, nope.
I would have found another concrete supplier, one that actually delivered to the site ....
Mate, forgive me if someone else has asked this but what did you use to finish the garage in, it looks lovely. We just had one built last week and we're looking at how to protect it, I like the look of the stuff you used.... could you tell me what it is?
Hey Pete, thanks man.
The finish my dad chose was a 'Antique Pine' 10 year woodstain (Ronseal)... Before that though the structure got two coats of Everbuild Triple Action Wood Treatment which is clear and water-based, and claims to be deeply penetrating. It protects against wood boring insects as well as both wet and dry rot and hopefully any other kind of mould or fungus... Unfortunately, this pre-treatment washes off in the rain, so needs the stain on top asap and...
You should leave 24 hours between coats, so this can be a tall order when the weather is so unreliable. Lesson learnt: Preserve and then stain small defined manageable sections at a time. The stuff is too expensive to have washed off!
A note about the pre-treatment safety: For such a large shed it's much quicker to spray. Dad used a hand pumped garden sprayer that measured pressure up to 2 bar. He started thinking this was the best pressure but actually half a bar was much better because it caused less 'atomisation' or misting but still enabled good coverage. To begin he wore a chainsaw safety helmet with polycarb visor plus disposable dusk mask - it was inadequate! He was getting symptoms from inhaling the mist and stinging eyes -. I gave him my 3M 6800 full-face equivalent which means it's a cheaper import (only about $30 here: goo.gl/kVGmyk ), but I use it with the genuine 3m 6001 vapour filters. (ebay link: goo.gl/PNXNEq ). Plus he wore a waterproof anorak with the hood up, waterproof overtrousers and rubber gloves with long cuffs. You really have to take account of the wind and make sure it doesn't blow back at you....
Applying the Stain:
The 10 year woodstain was not sprayable so it had to be hand-painted. We found a good quality synthetic fibre 4 inch brush best for most of the wood. You need to allow at least 4 hours between coats and must paint on a warm day when it's not too humid
Lessons Learned: i) Instructions state you should rub down the wood first and after the second coat (you need 3 coats for the 10 year warranty). We did not do the sanding - even with an electric sander it was just taking forever and getting nowhere on a shed this size. It didn't seem to make much difference on our pine anyway. Seems to have still worked.
ii) Keep that wet edge going - we did find that for this stain the reaction to produce the 'reaction mass' in the applied stain happened really quickly. It is easy to overpaint it out. It is better to move quickly. We started at the top painting 1 board at a time, in sections. Painting from the top does help us to catch and paint out any runs, drips etc.
iii) Pay special attention to end grain, for obvious reasons, and I have already heard from commenters here, they had problems with rot here...
Pre-stain Knotting: we have found resin leaking from knots quite a problem, especially on sides facing the sun. The knotting solution we used suggested you might need 2 coats. For bad knots, even 3 coats have still leaked. Lessons learned: Don't try to treat all knots - there are too many. Just treat dry ones that look like they may shrink and fall out and the ones that are leaking resin. We found that the elongated longer knots (where a small branch was growing out at an angle to the grain direction) seemed to be the worst. Treat them several times. We had to wait 15 minutes between coats for our make.
Ok, ha - I suspect that was more than you bargained for! Hope some of that helps.
Bongo.
@@FloweringElbow that's great. 100% what I needed. Thank you bud, I would much rather go on recommendation if I'm honest. And your building does look BRILLIANT. Thank bud, brilliant video too, really engaging. Just what RUclips is all about I think :)))
The view.......
Did the design of the interlocking logs give you any ideas how to make something similar from felled trees? 🤔 They do look easy to store, transport and assemble.
Yes! lots of ideas for lightly machining larch logs top and bottom, with some kind of tongue and grove... so many possibilities..
@@FloweringElbow logosol have chainsaw mill log moulders, although they're not exactly cheap, but maybe not too bad if making plenty of boards
just a spread footing perimeter foundation with crawl space keeping the existing slope may have been easier, but then you'd have that wood subfloor with i guess heavy stuff, and the foot print seems to be what?? 3.5m x 6m? oh 6 x9m. your perimeter beams seems way over kill in depth if the rebar is thick enough as the walls are very light. sorry about your idiot concrete driver. depending on the slump of the concrete, but it seems the vibrating guy was overdoing it a bit. strong backs! 1 3/4" of solid wood wall and roof deck (of course waterproofed) with leaking joints gives you about R3 insulation and a lot of air leakage. typical wall R value for a wall is R13 for a moderate climate, and attic R30, but the big thing is the air leakage. straw bales are R30 and much better heat lag. but you have a 16" thick wall. if you have a source for them, probably much cheaper than the wood kit. both have to be finished is some fashion. nice esthetic, but it's basically a nice smelling tent with a super insulated floor. you'll (or your dad lol) will be restaining the ext every 3 yrs. probably with clear. if you uses a "stain" with pigment, it will look alike a bad opaque paint job.
'Phenomena' is plural; you meant to say "There is a phenomenon...", I hope.
Good morning Craig, I am sorry you had to hear that horrible blunder, please accept my unreserved apology.
@@FloweringElbow Well, no apology is needed; that's a frequent slip. I think the way those beams fit together is pretty nifty.

@@FloweringElbow hi, I am considering a workshop build myself and hadn’t really considered a kit. Given the expected cost I am always reluctant to fork out for an unknown. A knowledgable, ‘trusted’ recommendation would of course be ideal but in this sort of situation I suppose I’m just trying to get a ‘feeling’ before deciding to pursue more information. Please excuse the vagueness of it all 🤓.
@@H2Dwoat Understood my friend. I'm sure a kit like this will suit some people just right... I guess the trick is working out it you are one! Good luck.
@@FloweringElbow cheers.
@@FloweringElbow At least you aren't whistling a very bad 'tune'. - Just don't go there folks - bent and broken logs galore and massive gaps between the so-called interlocking walls once built. The logs don't stay interlocked if there is the slightest bend or twist in them. You get offered support telling you, 'well, it's obvious' to know what to do, and Hell mend you if you received damaged logs, because they will be very reluctant to send out replacement logs. We spent so much money on that lot for so little in the end, we won't recommend them to anyone. A key flaw with their kits means our building has a massive gap right through the wall of about 2cm. Just be careful who you go with. The clue is in the whistling sentence ...

How much did this project cost?
My dad paid for the kit and things so I'm not sure sorry Justin. I can say it was about half as much as it would currently cost...
I thought "Logs" were round ??
Lol. I guess not flat ones ;)
Not sure why you call it a log cabin. That just T&G lumber.
Different... but definitely worthy of inclusion on your channel! :o)
Hey John, glad you think so :)
I worry that this sort of video actually works against the sensible and in fact encourages the stupid
to think that this is in any way a good idea and that is reasonabe to pay unskilled labour £600 a day to copy the hard work that this did take.
It certainly was a lot of work!
