I agree with the labour vs desk job comparison but when you look at longevity, the ability to work geographically wherever you want the computer work is where it’s at for me
You’re supposed to put the floor down first, then it doesn’t matter where your non load bearing studwork goes. Also insulate the floor, cover it with dpm then it will stay clean. We build the walls on the dpm then cut it out once roof is on, keep’s everything dry.
I find this series fascinating, love the narration xxxx Really rooting for you !!! Wishing you good health and lots of good energy to follow through to the 1st and beyond..do what you love..the money will follow‼️People/ or rather children and teenagers need a passion to find their path in life....just money is not the answer
Just a thought, but some type of membrane may be good under the floor to reduce the moisture coming up from the ground and rotting the joists over time…?
What are the edges of your floor going to rest on round the perimeter, the floor will sag over time. Also the bath idea will creat massive cold bridging which will mean mildew and mould. The bath will also move over time, which will mean split silicone regularly. Please heed some of the advice in the comments, there’s lots of experience here
That's the sub floor. He mentioned in the last video he will be putting insulation on top of the sub floor then chipboard flooring something on the lines anyway.
Listning to you talk about keeping motivated and keep pushing twords ur goals is very helpful, while i doubt i will ever become a builder i do want to start my own business, ive been in a bit of a slump when it comes to product designing, seeing you keep pushing yourself to build this tiny house has inspired my creativity again. Thank you
I relate to what you said I'm a self employed plasterer/handyman 30years old and own 10 properties drive a 8year old van love doing properties. Some people I know went to university to be solicitors etc and have only just got a decent job/wage still live at home.
I love your anecdotes, I think the rest of us would have looked at that London property and backed away especially with the money involved and you went for it, fair play, love that the old money on the street doesn’t know what to make of it, good on you👍
I have lived almost 7 decades.Have done ok.Can tell you that I wish I had been a gardener and spent 8 hrs a day in nature and loving it so yes, I agree. The world is changing rapidly now and once you get your home done you need a spiritual practice because this world is done.Be brave because you need to be.
We just moved from a house with underfloor heating in the bathroom and we only used twice in 3 years and cost us in an indemnity policy when buying & selling
I hated my day job. I was working in a benefits office, my highest salary without overtime was around £24,000 I got out by buying a wreck of a house and renovating it slowly over about 7 or 8 years as I could never borrow the money to fund it and spent a fortune on credit cards. I was finished just before Covid hit but couldn’t sell until a year ago. I bought another wreck and now have no mortgage, packed in my full time job and am now working part time so I still have an income. Going to try for a BTL mortgage after new year so I can buy a house to rent out.
In my last house I put in a bath but took it out after a year and put in a shower, I only used it as a bath 3 times, all the hassle climbing in and out to get a shower. 😂
i bought it couple weeks back and was very disappointed. very low effort overall and not worth pushing like he does. the 1k a month wasnt matched betting but charging finders fees for informing developers of potential redevelopments. he doesnt go into any detail or anything like that and just says “ill explain this in a later newsletter” multiple times in every one. loads of typos and spelling mistakes as well, clearly rushed and not very helpful.
Here's a story about judging a book buy its cover, the ceo of rockstar games looks like an old school mosher, they share an office with a ftse 100 finance company. The ceo of the finance company didn't hold the door after him and let it slam shut on the ceo of rockstar games. What ensued was the greatest dressing down of the ceo of the finance company
Fair play on the 18 days of uploads….I’m hoping you can get it all done in 2 weeks I’d love to be proven wrong (Still think you should sacrifice a week to this project, I think it would steady your other ventures knowing this one is done!)
I did that when I was younger, I regret it now but I was able to catch up later, some of my friends didn’t. One friend is in his 50s, driving an Amazon van and paying a fortune in rent to a landlord - the thing is that he was able to buy a house years before me, he ended up losing it later because of too much boozing. 🙄
During my student years didn't get my first job until 2014 in Subway. It was tough because my CV was not up to scratch and no one gave me the opportunity to shine in any sector. Also, the interviewer owners preferred their own candidates regardless experience or inexperience. After graduating at University, I tried to focus my field in filmmaking and unsuccessfully career progress. I focussed as a filmmaker runner and still working in H&M. Before the living wage increased at H&M, I used to earn low money and difficult saving up money. It was more difficult finding a 2nd job to support my daily expenses. I had to wait Covid was over and apply for more jobs. Now I am working three jobs to save up more money and spend necessary means - food and growing my own organic herbs. Plan to grow my own fruit and vegetables. Through the years, I was no saint because I did waste money materialism especially on trainers, clothes and fragrances. My goal is to buy not rent someone's place. Another option, I would like to build a tiny house. It is my dream. I am an avid watching living big in a tiny house channel. Lots of inspirations and learning new methods to live self sufficient.
Matey…very few Doctors pursue that career to make money. Your 30 odd year old Doctor will have saved and changed many lives compared to your average bricklayer. Not belittling bricklayers but that is the reality.
Working my way through this series. Enjoying the build very much. But the 'improve your life' monologues are getting tiresome. Just because it's worked out nicely for you doesn't mean anyone can do it. We don't all have family and friends to fund a London reno, for example. Moan aside, really admire the determination and graft. Well done.
Clearly doesn’t know cause no floors before walls, no subfloor insulation and vermin barrier or vapour barrier, no first fix plumbing, no electrics laid out, skylights for windows.. the list goes on. It’s very unconventional but it’ll end up with myriad issues wanting to be rectified. Fun to watch though, not much progress in the last 10 days besides gluing in windows.
I have wondered the same thing since he started this uconventional build. It would NOT pass code EVER where I live and that's probably he's building in the dark and away from the public eye. it will fall down in less than 5 years. And he uses screws instead of nails which makes this tiny house unsafe in a wind storm. @@Marco-qc9yu

Have you thought about putting the boiler outside or building a mini lean-to plant room to save space inside?
love, LOVE the story about you interacting with the rich neighbour who didn't realize you were the owner of the London project :) amazing !!

Wrong.if anything you would have it on top of the joists
@@mc1703So how would putting plastic on top of the joists keep moisture from getting to the joists from underneith?
@@Noah-xo7ek moisture comes from respiration.

Not insulating the floor?
Especially with the floor heating
That's the sub floor. He mentioned in the last video he will be putting insulation on top of the sub floor then chipboard flooring something on the lines anyway.
I’m enjoying your “Mad Dash”. Looking forward to see you able to move in. Your London house is beautiful.

Bathroom? I'm surprised by your priority since you have 14 days. But I'm no builder 😊
Love your mind and craftmanship. Go for it!
I would say the weeds and grass growing under the house should offer ample support to your bathroom internal wall?
I love these videos! Rooting for you from the Isle of Man 🇮🇲
Loving the series so far mate 2 weeks to go, keep it up
In my last house I used copper pipe and Speedfit connectors, I only soldered the pipes that could be seen.
I hated my day job. I was working in a benefits office, my highest salary without overtime was around £24,000 I got out by buying a wreck of a house and renovating it slowly over about 7 or 8 years as I could never borrow the money to fund it and spent a fortune on credit cards.

This is great! Im so happy I found you.
In my last house I put in a bath but took it out after a year and put in a shower, I only used it as a bath 3 times, all the hassle climbing in and out to get a shower. 😂
Rhats why hes putting in a lowered bathtub- functions as both bath & shower
great work man.I just wanted to know is ur living space going to be open planned so that it makes the space bigger
He said in a previous video it is going to be an open layout :)
So true ❤
Hi from Forster NSW Australia, loving your outlook on life and your can do attitude. Have you looked at an external instantaneous hot water system?
I don’t know many brickies who own more than one house
Anyone bought the newsletter? Is the £1k a month matched betting? Seems too obvious!
It’s nothing to do with gambling.
i bought it couple weeks back and was very disappointed. very low effort overall and not worth pushing like he does. the 1k a month wasnt matched betting but charging finders fees for informing developers of potential redevelopments. he doesnt go into any detail or anything like that and just says “ill explain this in a later newsletter” multiple times in every one. loads of typos and spelling mistakes as well, clearly rushed and not very helpful.
copper pipes mate for where you are, wildlife can bite into Hep2O pipes.

If your side hustle isn’t betting, then I’m in?
Pub every week is a big waste of time and money I've never understood why people do that
Social interaction

Just as a comment, we had a jetted tub for decades and cleaned it by running the jets with a bit of bleach in the water after a bath.

Loved the story about the tosser neighbour 😂😂😂
I watch with no volume. Sorry but I have to stop my ears bleeding somehow 😮😂

Please explain how you know all this about building and you know nothing about building as you say
