FORGET THE WORKSHOP, I'M FOLLOWING FOR THE GRASS PROGRESS!
😂😂 glad to hear it!!
Great video and lots of good info!
Thanks so much! 🙏
Loving this series, Jack! 12:20 had me chuckling away 🤣🤣
Yeah I’m so glad I got that on film! Haha Glad you’re enjoying the series!!
Nice video! Love the content!
Appreciate it! Thanks 🙏
great progress Jack. Really well explained and thought out. Where were you 12 months ago when I was making bad choices lol.
🙏 Thanks so much! It's never to late to expand yours! :P
1:15 marked out 100metres more? just how big is ya garden :D
Nice video series so far though, am liking it, big thumbs up
😂 I meant millimetres! How did I miss that one?
Thanks 🙏 I appreciate it
Great video. Just one thing though (as a former civil engineer) is that I don’t recommend leaving out the mesh on a slab that big. Concrete shrinks as it dries and the mesh is there to stop the cracks from getting too wide.
Thanks for pointing that out. It’s good to know I’m on the right track from someone who’s actually qualified 😂

could you build this workshop on the plastic grid / pea gravel system you used under your shed?
Yes, but you would need to build a timber frame on top of the grids 😃
Hi , really cool footage and tips. So base is perfectly level everywhere ? I've heard base should have some fall for rain otherwise water may stay in one place and make moisture?
Thanks 🙏 yes it’s perfectly level because I’m using it as the floor to the workshop. If you’re building a timber floor on top then I think you should have a slight fall on it to let water run off.
I’m digging my garden over the last 2 weeks I’m at the 3ed skip to fill with soil which brings my cost to £720 already…
Yeah I was very lucky to have the option to use the soil I removed, glad it was mostly topsoil too! It'll be worth it once you're done!
did you measure the diagonals, good series
Yes I did and it was 5mm longer on one vs the other, which I was pretty happy with!
Good video, but I wonder what the hard way is? What happens to the DPM around the sides?
Haha that’s a fair point! I used the DPM under the timber frame too. I cover it on the next episode (timber walls)
@@sumeraybuilds Okay, thanks, makes sense.
Weed fabric for your soak away ? ... Non woven geo textile ideally ... Keep up the videos matey, good job !
Every days a school day 😂 thanks 🙏
