I feel like perhaps when you say you're "moving in", people think you mean "the house is finished". If the objective is to move in, he'll do this easily. I did this with my own project, focussed on getting 1 room "done" (the bedroom) and then just lived in the building site...at least the commute to work is quick :D
I’ve done rip out to the studs renovations on houses throughout my adult life and am no stranger to what it takes to get this type of thing done and then live in a renovation / camp out situation while finishing. I get what you’re doing and absolutely love your tub idea. That said…you may want to consider pausing everything else and pushing like crazy to get your plumbing roughed in so you can set the toilet and set up a temporary sink situation. Looks like you have electricity enough to manage until you get everything wired like you want it and can insulate. Love your can do attitude…don’t let the armchair quarterbacks who criticize get to you. I listened to so much of that and the when will you be done comments from people who couldn’t visualize or understand what I was doing. Once I finished the ooos and ahhhhs over how beautiful everything looked were nice to hear and the oh I wish I had a beautiful vintage home like that comments were satisfying…but what most people don’t understand is that it takes huge effort and sacrifice to get the end results. Your home will be a showplace once you’re done and you will have a wonderful situation of style, location, and financial security that those who just talk a good game can only dream of.
Agree - I love your energy, but by all means get the basic necessities like running water and toilet installed so you can move to your worksite in relative comfort. Happy Christmas!
Merry Christmas! Have you considered making the tiny house an extra long studio with a fold up murphy bed instead of framing out a small room for your bed?
If i didn't live in Manchester id come and help you for a few days, id sack the bathroom. get the floor insulation done, floor down, insulate the walls. and get a log burner in, you can then do all the rest no matter what the weather is
How high off the ground are you planning to have the bed? Your ceilings are high enough that it could be raised enough for storage below. I wouldn’t want a loft bed myself, but a raised frame with a mattress could still have significant space below.
Merry xmas. A couple of suggestions. 1 put the boiler outside to give yourself a little more room for the bathtub. 2- instead of building off the bedroom just get a fold out couch this way you will have more space . Have a bless holiday:)
@@LookingForLloyd trust me I do this for a living. If its going to have to have sleeping accommodation regardless of size it needs building control sign off. I think his got confused and kept it under 30m2 thinking he doesn't need building control sign off
Maybe he's not planning on getting it signed off & living in it regardless. How will the powers that shouldn't be know. Hopefully no one reports it. @@roscopeco2000
Merry Christmas Chris! Have you not considered having any windows/skylights that open? Surely in summer when I could get hot there will be no ventilation and this place will become an oven unless you’re putting air con in?
Mate, honestly even before you started struggling with the bath I already thought a shower would just look better and be more practical. Of course there are exceptions but most people would shower daily and only use the bath once every month (if that). Yet you still have to step down into that bath every day.
Love Martijn's woodstove/oven/stunning stonework but if your place is already fairly warmish without wall insulation, the extra radiant from stones created in your much smaller space would probably make it stiffling imho. But something like that would be pretty stunning as a feature of an outdoor covered patio/outdoor kitchen area for fall/winter Way more stylish than firepits or column heaters. Imho.

No, I think most of us would be shocked if he could even sleep here in 8 days
Nice tour but was really looking for another bath tub digging video

Merry Christmas! I don’t understand why this channel is so entertaining
Merry Christmas! Have you considered making the tiny house an extra long studio with a fold up murphy bed instead of framing out a small room for your bed?
Good idea
Great idea, murphy bed built into a Bookcase/shelf would utilize both space & accessibility.
Such a breath of fresh air to get a tour and a break from the digging!
Loved the shout-out to Martijn Doolard. One of the best channels on here IMO.
Absolutely
Any other recommendations pls ?
If i didn't live in Manchester id come and help you for a few days, id sack the bathroom. get the floor insulation done, floor down, insulate the walls. and get a log burner in, you can then do all the rest no matter what the weather is
Save space in your house by installing the boiler which is specific for external use..i did it on my apartment renovation .
Or make an insulated caddy for it to live in
Yes, then he can have a clothes closet/storage for a mop/bucket n stuff
Merry Christmas Chris!
Merry Christmas, well done mate with the house. Love your willpower. Keep it up
How high off the ground are you planning to have the bed? Your ceilings are high enough that it could be raised enough for storage below. I wouldn’t want a loft bed myself, but a raised frame with a mattress could still have significant space below.
Yes i too follow martijn doolard .his work is impeccable and precision at its finest.

Merry Christmas Chris❤
Chris is an absolute legend
Merry Christmas mate. The dugout bathtub idea is nice, just make sure that bathroom floor run water doesn't end up in the bathtub.
Can someone please answer how this is happening with our Building control inspections ? You cant make stuff on site, I don't get it
It might be under the size that requires that maybe.
Plus, I think if you're on your own land you should be able to live in a shack if you want. Hopefully it'll be better than a shack though 🙂

MerryCHRISmas
You’re doing an amazing job. 🎉🎉🎉
Merry Christmas !
Good job! Merry Christmas! X
Happy Christmas - enjoying the journey 😊 Sue
I hope you pointing at the bucket and saying its where the toilet is wont end up being an omen for Jan 1st xD. Good luck mate!
Merry Xmas! Hope you had some time off!
I assume there will be plenty of insulation around the bath ! Stay safe and warm !
Is there a reason for why the kitchen is not right next to the living room instead of between the bedroom and bathroom? Quite different layout.
Don't think that's how it is
Don't you need a window to be able to climb out of if there is a fire on the side where the stove will be? Just a thought.
Happy Christmas bro
Merry Christmas Chris! Have you not considered having any windows/skylights that open? Surely in summer when I could get hot there will be no ventilation and this place will become an oven unless you’re putting air con in?
Front door and bathroom window for vent he said mate
Are you able to open those windows?
They are fixed.
Mate, honestly even before you started struggling with the bath I already thought a shower would just look better and be more practical. Of course there are exceptions but most people would shower daily and only use the bath once every month (if that). Yet you still have to step down into that bath every day.
You will only need a very small log burner or you will fry . 2kw max
Yes! Exactly..
when mine is going strong i have to open front and back doors then get butt naked.@@cynthiabroockman1752
Sorry about your friend
