Thank you for your amazing efforts. I always seem to be recommended your vids and rewatch them. I find them perfect with info..and cut out the BS..and relaxing 👍top job. Look forward to what's next!
Glad you like them! Nearly there on the next one
It's a brilliant series, but I think Ali should get an award for the longest build series. I've moved house twice, build about 3 workshops and sheds and finished my education and now work full time.
Haha sounds like you’re smashing life Oliver, congrats. To be fair to me though, I’ve also changed jobs twice, moved house, got engaged. Been a weird transition time in life from carefree late 20s to more responsible 30s. Do need to get to the end ASAP though! 👍
@@AliDymock take your time, I'll still be here😅
Another great video.. looks great! Looking forward to the outside 👍🏻
Great to see another video from you Ali...I've been working on my own build today...should be finished in the next couple of weeks !!
Congrats!
Such great videos, really helpful and inspirational mate. Nearly finished the floor of mine now, bloody rain was a nightmare for the foundations. Building a workshop first then an office + sauna. Without your videos I really doubt I’d ever be doing this, such great fun, so satisfying.
Great stuff Martin! It really is, I think it’s the state of work flow you get in plus the progress you see plus the exercise plus mastering a craft which makes it so satisfying, at least to me.
Great video Ally. Nice to see of the ideas I've accumulated for my own appearing your build. Hopefully I'm on the right tracks. Planning on breaking ground in the spring.
Good stuff Robbie! I know you’ve been busy with other projects to date.
Thanks for sharing Ali, really appreciate your attention to detail both in your DIY and editing, all the best for the remaining jobs, subscribed and looking forward to seeing future vids
Thanks so much 😊
You are a great tradesman!!!!
Awesome video content again and great editing skills 👌
Thanks man, I’m slowly improving on the editing. Long way to go before I can create like I want to but I try something new each time 🤓
It looks great.
Great video thanks for sharing.
The SELCO 8mm V Groove Laminate is very good, I fitted it in my hall about 6 years ago and it still looks as good a new.
Good to know!
Thats my local Wickes! Fantastic series pal!
Hi Ali, Living in our cabin now, built to your design/methods, 48' x 18'. Just finishing the last of the cladding on the back. Installed a 12kw woodstove as we have quite high ceilings, 5kw would have done the job lol! We've always lived in Victorian or pre 1800 houses before, had no idea how brilliant modern insulation/building methods are. Many thanks.
Wow that’s an amazing achievement. Big congratulations! Send me a pic!
Great series. Just on the sealant tool; I found the rubber wore away quickly (akin to an eraser atop a pencil) and as you couldn’t buy replacements, spent a little more and bought the Fugi. I’ve used that set loads and it doesn’t wear away. Great if you’ve lots to do or use the kit often.
Ah, good tip. I've not had the rubber/silicon thing wear away yet but it's had light use so far. We'll see as I have a bathroom job coming up
Final walkthrough looking forward to seeing it all complete ?
Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great to have your insights! Just about to start my shower room too! Going for a greywater/urine diverter into the greenhouse where it will be stored as nutrient-rich fertilizer for the garden -excess will diver to a soakaway!
FYI - also practically completed the build internally and externally now! Including a green roof with two skylights (all done myself - well chuffed!)!
Thanks for everything so far Aly!

Wow that it awesome. I’d love to see it if you fancy emailing pics sometime 👍
Enjoy your winter project in your new house..be safe..;-)
Cheers! Getting a good plumber has proven difficult!
Great uploads, I always learn some new trick from them!
Will you do a series on your new house refurb?
Yeh it’s been tough getting a plumber and sorting stuff out. It won’t be a series as such more of a room by room type thing. Got some other series ideas though 👍😁
All up to date with this series now and looking to plan my own build. Great job so far!
We've all made that pine vs MDF mistake!
Hey 👋. Sometimes I get the urge to write some short thought pieces but never know where to put them. This one vaguely relates to this video so I thought I’d post it here. Let me know what you think 🙂
*Spend on the inconveniences, not the luxuries*
Home renovation requires a multitude of choices: paint colours, taps, light fixtures but how do you sort between where should you go all out and where the savings should be made?
---
At 25 years old my best friend and I arrived at LAX, California after two months in South East Asia with just a backpack and some dwindling savings. After sleeping off the jet lag and being shouted at by the motel management in a welcome-to-America moment we made our way over to the car rental pickup. My friend, gifted in the art of persuasion, managed to land us a triple-tier upgrade by generously offering to take their Louisiana plated Dodge Charger* most of the way back to its home state.
And oh it was glorious! Tiptronic gear changes, leather seats and more gizmos than I know the name of. We were riding in style.
After a month of taking in the sights of the American Southwest, we dropped the car off at Dallas, Texas and something curious had happened. The joy we had experienced those few short weeks ago had subsided, the gizmos went mostly unused and the car, while a very comfortable ride, had fallen in our graces to something that merely got us from point A to point B.
Roll forward a few years and my vehicle of choice was an old Ford Focus. It too got me from A to B but the air-con had failed and stuck in London traffic on a hot day was a nightmare. Re-gassing the air-con would have cost more than the car was worth so I put up with it. When I was finally able to upgrade, it was absolute bliss to no longer drive around in a greenhouse on wheels, and that pleasure hasn't gone away until this day.

See the trend? It's the same with home renovation.
Those designer taps? Probably not worth it. Howdens' will do just fine.
Bright LED downlighters that don't need to replaced for a decade - totally worth it. Multi-coloured, flashing LED strips on your garden room soffits? Once you've shown them off to your mates that one time, they're unlikely to be used again.
An Amazon Alexa synced home set-up that controls your lights, heating, tv and curtains, with the complication of apps, set-up and updates every few months, and if it goes wrong you're left in the dark or perhaps everything goes Home-Alone on you? Well you get the picture, no one ever complained about the light switch before.
---
It's a tricky line to tread but if you focus on removing the inconveniences from your life rather than the 'that's cool' stuff, you'll generally make the right choice. Of course, if you happen to geek out over cars, home automation or garden rooms, then that’s different 😉

This is something I've learned over the last few years, too. During our (admittedly slow) house renovations, my initial plans were to automate a load of stuff, have fancy things dotted around the place, etc. Renovating slowly, though sometimes tedious, has brought with it not only a deep-seated admiration for well-skilled tradespeople, but it's softened my desire for the latest and greatest or the fashionable. I've fallen in love with our home's tradition and heritage. Instead of splashing out on modern things like home automation etc., we've instead spent money on things that will sometimes remain unseen, but will give our home another 100 or more years of life. It feels like we should give this house the love it deserves after being neglected for quite a while. Original plans like wanting the walls to be true and plumb have been replaced with new plans to embrace their oddities (they tell stories, you know!). I now buy fittings and fixtures based on build quality rather than whether they're "designer" or fashionable. It'll just save money in the long run, and, most importantly, we'll end up with a house full of things that we actually use and will last.
Oh, while I'm here, a huge thank you for the videos, they've been incredibly useful!
A great philosophy and one that I share completely. Another great video, thank you.
Where did you get the 3 way pir switch? I love it can you give us a link? Thank you
I’ll update the electrics section the the description with everything I can. I think the brand was Knightsbridge, it’s purple and white box 👍
Love the approach Luke. It sounds to me like you’ve embraced an element of stoicism in your life, something I’m trying at too. Plus your house sounds lovely.
Great video as always!! Just a note regarding your dimmer switches, assuming they are LED bulbs... always try to use a trailing edge dimmer switch instead of a leading edge. If you notice your dimmer switch making a “humming” noise you’ll need to change the dimmer module... easy mistake to make (which I did myself...)
Hmmm I’m going to have to google that, electrics are my weak point. Hopefully my electrician knew what he was doing
Looks like Wickes @ Hanger Lane.
Fantastic series. Thank you. I still have a couple of questions: how long did it take you in terms of total days? And what was the total cost all in?
Looks great, I’m currently using your video’s to build my own garden room. Just finished doing the 1st fix, do you know when you’ll have the cladding video up?
I think the cladding is going to be broken up into a few vids but will start from Part 20 🎉
Hey Ali - Great job as always. Sent you an a email with pics while back now that mine is done. Did it with grey cladding.
Hey Sag, I don’t think I’ve got it?
@@AliDymock I will resend it now. May goto junk/spam.
I might have missed it but which cladding did you use to achieve class 0 fire requirement? Thanks
Ali, what model and make is the digital wall heater please for main room. Another great video, you are an inspiration to us all.
Dimplex QRAD 2kw x2. Go check out Part 14, I talk through how to work out power required for heating the room.
Appreciate the inspiration comment! That’s motivating for me 😊
Thanks Ali... another great video. All the garden room videos I have seen have laminate over real/engineered wood for the flooring. What’s the rationale behind that do you think, is it cost, design preference or is there a functional element too (e.g. risk of moisture)?
Cost I’d say. Check out the ‘Your Builds’ on my website, there’s tile, real oak flooring etc that people have used. For me it came down to cost, there’s no reason other that not to go for something fancier.
HI Ali
Really enjoying your series, inspired to do my own. Currently installing the piers knee deep in mud!!!
One question:- how far out does your roof protrude out from the walls; front, side and back?
Sound like you're really getting stuck in! (sorry). Um at the front 60cm, back I think was 15cm and maybe 20cm at the sides. This changes a bit with cladding, fascias etc
@@AliDymock Thanks, much appreciated - the advice (not the t joke!!)
I live 2mins away from that Wickes! I also got the same laminate throughout my house, good choice lol
Fancy crossing the road and doing my garden house? 😂
Buy me a Macky Ds and I'm in! 😆
@@AliDymock if that's all it takes I'll book you in for a site survey haha
On a serious note, have you considered making a business out of it? I find London has way too many cowboy builders and finding someone who puts as much thought and diligence into their work is a rarity. I'd certainly pay for your services if you considered doing so
Love the garden room. Well done! Would it not have been cheaper and simpler to build one out of concrete blocks? 400 (approx) blocks x £1.30.
Maybe but the downside is the amount of space you lose as the wall ends up being significantly wider especially if you go with a 100mm cavity as per new build regs. That's 300mm before adding any kind of finish inside or out. Certainly an option though, I wouldn't rule it out and depends on your comfort with different materials (I like timber) and you space.
Can I ask what type o heating you put in. Sorry just seen it. Duh !
I might have missed this but is there a corner or area to prepare a cup of tea/coffee or heat some food/wash hands etc;
I may put in a tea/microwave area but sink in the bathroom will have to for filling the kettle.
In the US they put Red Guard over cement board to make it waterproof
Ah yeh I’ve come across that stuff before, looks good.
Hi Ali, Great videos, How much has it cost you to build the shed, materials only not things like electrics/plastering.. Cheers
Hi Daniel, I'm going to do a video on this but i expect around £20k. It can be done for much less or much more depending on your choices of materials (cladding is a big one), the size of the building, whether you have a shower room or how much your electrician charges.
@@AliDymock Hi Ali. Firstly, merry Christmas! Ok great thanks, I suspected it would be around that figure. I’m starting mine early part of the new year, I will try keep you updated on progress! All the best. Dan
😊👍
Want to be cheeky and ask how much did this cost in the end? As I'm looking to get one and have £30000 to use and was looking use a pro firm. Would I save thousands doing it myself which I'm capable of
Almost certainly will save a ton doing it yourself. I haven't worked it out but I suspect around the £20k mark for mine. To get it done professionally with the shower room that I have etc would have been £45-70k where I live I'm sure
@@AliDymock cheers for the info 👍🏻
Hardie board isn't waterproof...... to make it waterproof you need to add a tanking membrane. Hardie is a great product.
You only need 6mm for the floor and porcelain tiles will not adversely affect the weight, for the foundations, with such a small area covered.
Has it really took 2 years to finish this?
The series, yeh. The build, no, I just took long breaks between tasks!
