- Building the Man Cave.
This is a video record of my Garden office / Shed project.
I started it in March 2015 and finally completed it 9 months later in December 2015. I build this in my spare time.

I managed to get a great deal of the materials second hand or recycled.
Other items I had to buy new, but shopped around on line for the best price.
Please check out my recent videos to see what it is like now and what it is used for.
This is a video of the plans and budget • The Man Cave Budget an...
The 4 x 2s were from a recycling timber yard in Peckham.
The other items such as the windows and doors and the front maple cladding were second hand from ebay. I had to travel to collect items from all over Surrey, Kent, Hampshire and Buckinghamshire.
Other items I had to buy new, but shopped around on line for the best price.
I did all the work myself apart from the final fix and certification of the electrics. The electrician was Billy Keppel from Keps Electrical.

Can we give this man the recognition he deserves?! He published this video 5 years ago, and still responds to the questions about it to this very day. Thank you sir.
Agree 100%!
I mean 5 years aint that long ago ofcourse he still alive ….
💯
@@yairmartinez2251 I don't think the comment means that way, he probapbly means most people plublished something over 1-2 years, they would have ignored the comments about their videos but the guy did not. So he is just appreciate the passion, efforts and kidness of this creator. That's it.
I second this ❤️❤️❤️ love this
Such a gorgeous book - each shed is unique and inspiring, and I love all the tiny details Kotite features to help readers imagine how to create their own She Sheds th-cam.com/users/postUgkxe9yi0sulKgsp0VJJCIrLWWkvVqcU7LFR . The feature on Dinah's Rustic Retreat is like something from a fairy tale. It's really inspiring to see how creative all these ordinary people are in making beautiful and useful spaces on a modest scale.
I used a one piece rubber roof for this roof. Check out my budget video for all the info on this.
Why so much negativity? This is commendable. The creator is nice enough to answer questions as well. Very helpful, if only to see someone else's results.
Now, this guy is seriously talented. I’m not letting my wife see this video, she’ll think I can give it a bash!
You can!
Amazing buddy, your a clever guy!
Mike Bradley you're not
Yes but Mike Bradley plays the guitar just like ringing a bell.
Angus McGregor alas, he doesn't know the correct use of "you're"
You're a tit! hahaha
Mike Bradley lol well said
Wow that's a real man. I can't believe you did that by yourself.
Better built than the new build houses going up these days
Has anyone mentioned how this looks exactly like the garden from Shaun if the Dead?
I was thinking that!!! It’s my favorite go to movie I can watch over and over 🤍🤗
Miss Kelly sameeeeee I love that movie lol

You are the man and why anyone would thumbs down this video is beyond me,great job sir
Great work, very jealous. That would make a perfect drum shed/studio. I can dream.
That's a clever 'she' trap.
Option 1: find peace in a dirty old shed.
Option 2: build a 'she shed'.
Genius on all sorts of levels.
This is exactly what I require for me yard, thank you for sharing the fruits of your labor with the world!
Great shed will be really good when you put the lights up properly
I believe they're meant to hang like that.
I thought that, total loss of headroom and overall 'size feel' inside. I would have gone as low profile as possible. Each to their own though.
It's Eoleh
Bloody hell, you can rent the place out and make a few bob on the side. Look out for squatters!
This looks like home to me. And you made it by yourself. Wow. It’s magnificent. 👍
It’s beautiful!! Love the French doors and the radiator!
Your wife is lucky to have you.
I’m looking into building my own studio when I’m older so this is just perfect and filled with ideas 💡
You’ve made a cracking job of that ‘shed’, very impressive workmanship, work rate and working to a tight budget!
Quite a lot of people watching the video awesome viewing with the great result and bet it was an excellent feeling for the fella when he was finally finished and sitting in the creation built with canny buying,, very inspiring I'm off to dig up the garden 😁😁😁👍👍🍀🍀🍀
Really informative well put together video. I like the fact there's no talking. I also watched your plans and budget video. Really really helpful. Thanks. I don't think my project will be as ambitious but you've told me everything I need to know.
All the best with your build. It would be great to see a video of it.

Angus McGregor damn bro are you a construction worker/architect or something
Super nice, a lot of people don’t understand the work that goes in behind the scenes. Some good skills and nice ideas, thanks
I just have to say you make making a house in your backyard possible. Thank you so much for sharing this video. I will definitely be using this video for when I am ready to make my tiny house in my backyard. You are an inspiration!!! Thank you boss
I like how this was done especially with mostly repurposed supplies. Beautiful job.
My relationship with my dad just changed after watching this
If the grass doesn't grow back rent a small rotatiller and tear up the ground and seed it
How about just a slice-seeder. You don't need to till the ground so deep.
Fabulous. I have a small summer house at the top of my garden and during September when it is starting to turn cool i can go and sit inside it and it is lovely and warm..
Outstanding, excellent job Sir. You show off.
Looks well good job
It looks great and nicely documented.
Watched this a couple of times over the years for inspiration!! Great vid. Dublin, Ireland.
Lovely man cave! Some one could live in there! 🏠 I’m glad the squirrels like it!🐿
Well, it finally happened, Zachary! Somebody burned down my she shed!
Great build must say looking fantastic
BRILLIANT from start to finish Angus, am I envious... you bet!
Thank you for sharing, this was one of the videos that inspired me to build a guest house. I will be sharing soon.
Absolutely amazing work
Watched this vid because I want to build my own really enjoyed it and it looks awesome
Thanks, All the best with your build.
ItsWatson really nice
Angus McGregor u I r44
Fantastic job. You can see how much effort you put into this. Well done mate
Great build, good to see the old wood, recycled.
Thanks for making a complicated hobby seem easy!
Amazing man. Doing all that by yourself. Very good.
I love this room. I paint so this would be perfect for a studio. Thanks for sharing your talent
Thanks for taking the time to video all your work! Looks Great!!!! Great Scottish Name too!!!
Tremendous job, well done.
Awesome! Building a shed is super fun!
Thanks for posting. I especially like the finish details.
Excellent, looks beautiful.👍👍
Daaam that House is huge! I would live in this. Nice work!
Beautiful! I love the front porch...always nice to have a place to chill outside.
What a transformation brilliant work 👍
Wow it’s beautiful! Fantastic work and for one person? So good
Cheryl is gonna love this she shed
Awesome job, the Room looks great good for you.
what a great job you have done! Congratulations!
OMG! such beautiful work. I just saw one video and I'm already hooked I'm getting ready to watch all your videos. I wanna build a low cost shack and I got so many ideas from just this one video. Thanks
Awesome man cave man! 👏
You did one hell of a job...
Wow how beautiful work !!
That is a fine job.!! Looks fantastic & so useful..!!!
congratulations from France , nice job.
This must be the most cozy and warm shed ever made. Well done man.
Seems good so far! Was easy to talk to about his My Shed Plans [Go Here=> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. Guided me in the right direction & helped me understand everything & in the end it was what I wanted
your solution to simply build on levelled blocks is practical and easy to implement 👍
Thanks Angus - inspirational. Nice looking practical design s/he shed and recycled approach
You dont want to break your plywood sheets at the same joint all the way across.. start with two 8' pieces across, then cut 1 piece in half and start the next row with a 4' piece.. staggered joints make a stronger floor
I love this, you should be proud, looks great and nice place to relax!
This looks really nice and rustic, fantastic job
Great space, brilliant job 👍
really enjoyed this, thanks..all your hard work showed in the results!! the shed looks terrific!!!
Thanks
I want to build a small room in the back of my house but i think its too much work for myself. I really like this one though. My respects to you. I admire hardworking people 👏👏👏
This is great I've watched this like 6 times since it came out I've been wanting to build something like this. Keep up the good work
Look absolutely amazing! Great job👏🏼
Throw a projector in there and that’s the perfect mini cinema room awesome stuff mate
Thank you for posting this, I'm about to start a smaller version and this is the best video I've seen (and I've seen A LOT !!)
Stella Chrisanthou All the best with your build. Would be good to see what you are doing.
@@AngusMcGregor I'm taking pix to do a TH-cam video!!
Wow thank you so much for the idea,Sir...very nice
Fantastic Job - top standard - great video and thank you for sharing
Nice job. The only thing I'm less thrilled about is the interior wiring with those wires crossing the interior space.
If my husband builds a shed like that. It’s gonna be love shack. Very nice 👍
woman not allowed in man cave exept to clean... if you want a love shack build yourself one?
loadi2 hmm so misogynistic. If my husband had a man cave that’s nice I know when to give him his space. Yes I’m interested In building one myself but I like the idea of a getaway with the added bonus of sex.(Romantic getaway for 2)Too bad you’re so small minded your partner don’t have to be just your slave.
@@loadi2865 couldn't tell if this was a joke or not, but I still laughed my ass off
I dont really know what misogynistic means but yes Sashalee i was joking..i love my wife very much ...and yes i even do my share of the housecleaning...but if you want i will build you your getaway for 2 for the added bonus of sex?
Jesus man well done. It's titled "oh yeah just a shed" but I could live in that thing.
Very nice.
looks like a great place to chill
I always read the comments knowing full well that I'm going to be annoyed. Clearly, I am the nosiest sort of masochist lmao.
I love this and would totally live in it.
very cool, very impressive work
Great way to stay on task in whatever you use the space for while having the freedom of being “at home”
Bro!! You came with the heat!! Super sweet!
Great work nice shed
That’s great .....an awful lot of peace and quiet for your money😀
How nice!! Good job Gentleman!
Well done, love the no nonsense video, straight forward and will use this to help me on my project! Good work.
Looks straight up nice in the backyard. Well done
great job! I'm inspired
Great job, it’s also a excellent job of showing great carpentry. 👌
I think it looks lovely.
Damn Man, u did a bad ass job👍👍
Nice , mad props bro
Just seeing this... shared on FACEBOOK.
SOooo COOL 👍🏿
That's excellent, I'm very impressed with your work. I hope to do something very similar myself in the spring.
Wish I could be arsed to do a project like this.... Nice work dude!! Looks incredible.
If you're ever bored...... Lol!!
I love how he titled it. Most people in the building industry would just say "man cave" and get super weird with it possibly being feminine and vise versa. This one is title the masculine feminine and neutral version. It feels way more welcoming and not as intimidating.
The dogs danglies that, love it 👍
Great project and nice result
