sure! i was missing a bit of background - like is this tiny home next to the house of your parents? are you planning to plant something in front of yourwindow and how is your experiance using it so far? especially these days its quite warm - do you use an air conditioner?
Great job! Thanks for taking us along for the ride! And I appreciate you pointing out your mistakes! Those are the kinds of things that can really help people trying to do the same!! 👍❤️🔥
Hi Dan, Thank you for sharing the mistakes and what you did next. A lot of renovations will be edited to show a seamless process and I liked how you showed us the reality of the project. Had no idea that magnetic and whiteboard paint existed before watching this. I still have a huge whiteboard from my student days and I’m glad to have held onto it. The place looks great!
Thank you for showing your mistakes, this is the REALITY lacking when you hire professionals. For those who can't afford that, this is a great video. Well done! Love the gorgeous blue you chose.👍🏻😃🐾🌈☮️🇨🇦
It really looks great! Couple of suggestions... to fix the issue behind your countertop, you could install a tile, or even stick on back spash... that might make up your space. Also, if youre not keen on doing a backsplash, you could put a piece of trim along the crack to conceal it. Tip #2... when the drywall/paint started coming off on your roller, you shoukd have used a plastic scraper to remove all the loose plaster, then skim coated the area to get it smooth. The pealibg means there is moisture getting in their, and youre going to have to figure out what is causing it, bcs it will just keep pealing off if you dont take care of it... enjoy your new man cave! 😍
Excellent end result and thank you for not cutting out the mistakes! Super helpful to see. Not to mention you recorded this video throughout the whole process. Legend
We learn from what goes right and wrong. Thanks for including both. Is there a bed in your space? Next vid show us you waking up, getting out of bed and making coffee
Thanks! It's not large enough for a permanent bed (unless I pitched half of the roof and put a bed in the loft which I definitely did not have the time, money or skills for, but maybe one day) but I do have a sofa bed in there which I use 🙂
You're tiny house turned out very well. I was thinking, you know how you cut your counter too short? You could have used the cut off piece & applied construction adhesive to it & glued it to the wall & on top of the gap. The cut off could have been a backsplash. It would have totally matched. Nevertheless everything turned out awesome!
Hello from Southern California! What a fantastic job you did and doing it all by yourself the way you like it, is even a greater reward. Thank you for sharing! 😊😁
Loved the mistakes counter, it shows how important it is to plan ahead, but also that without the experience of failing, you will never learn how to do it properly.
You made a superb job with what looked like just a shed. In the end when you had finished any young person would be very happy with that. Well done you. 🥰🐾🐾🌺
I’m glad I came across this video, and enjoyed it. Going forward though, add “made the reveal too short and jumpy” to the mistakes list! There are elements in the space I would have liked to heard described, like the cook top, the dark glassy surface above which you used to do a fancy shot of the cooktop area (a video screen??), and the innovations at the door for shoe storage etc. I think a separate reveal video with description of the finished space may be warranted.
AHH thank you! I have a million things to improve, but I've put off starting to upload something for 10 years and I'm having so much fun! Really annoyed I waited so long to start!
I’m sorry but the hole in the pants sent me 😂😂 glad to know im not the only one that keeps old/torn clothing and wears them around the house or during messy projects 😅 ANYWAYS Love how this turned out. NEW SUBSCRIBER HERE !!!!
I still have some tracky dacks from probably 15 years ago that are ratty as all get out. Holes, threadbare, covered in paint. Used for bumming around my parents house and helping them out with messy jobs alike.
It's absolutely gorgeous; I'm very keen on having a tiny house built somewhere in the wildness where I grew up. I'm 63 and not as agile as I used to be, so I'll be doing the design yet will be hands on as much as I can be without being in the way.
Great re-model! Tip for practical bedding. Sew homemade quilts made from cotton fabric, designs can vary. Using thin batting or woven cotton blanket, double stitch for durability. Make two, maybe three, then use them as bottom and top sheets, alternate them and wash regularly. Keep them stacked neatly, which takes a quick minute, and living room area looks perfect. What bed. 😃
Well done, great job. I'd have gone for the pop-on blinds in the window seals and a blackout blind to reduce the cluttered feel curtains give. And hung the blackout at the ceiling rather than just above the window, less light creep, clutter and it's out of the way when not in use.
I think you might be the most incredible man I’ve seen on TH-cam. And you’re from the UK. Hooray! I’m insanely impressed by this and slightly envious of your talents I won’t lie!
I know it would be extra expense and hassle, but I would have made the window a glass pocket door or just have it open outwards on security hinges to have access to a small court or garden. A quick flash of a floor plan in the video would be nice also.
Translate to Spanish: Me siento muy identificada con este video porque también estoy intentando restaurar un espacio para convertirlo en mi apartamento pero, he enfrentado demasiados retos y que han obstaculizado que suceda. Al igual que tú, lo estoy haciendo (la mayoría) por mi propia cuenta y también cometo errores pero, gracias por enseñarnos que eso también es parte del proceso. Te quedó muy hermoso!
Thanks for sharing including the oopsies, so that everyone could learn from them. So many parameters to consider, determining the "dance" aka the order of all the interventions is probably the less fun aspect of that kind of work. Especially when bad surprises decide to pay a visit... ^^
My idea of a "granny flat"...brilliant .( am nearly 80). Love the colour too. My little house is in charcoal grey. Thanks for sharing, especially the "mistakes"...makes for a more realistic video.
I live in Canada, and here it gets to -20C often in the winter months, so I need a lot more insulation in the walls for a simple electric heater to be able to keep everything warm in February. Otherwise, this is a great idea for something that I would like to build for myself too. Thanks.
Hi Dan, I just stumbled across this video of yours. Well done for showing the mistakes which happened along the way. You also explained how you rectified them, which shows that you learnt from them and others will learn from you. You've done a great job, so take the plaudits on your lovely looking achievement. It looks a very nice job, so well done. 👏👍👍
First of all I love the video for what it is I think you did a great job. Secondly the two-by-fours weren't the only studs in the room and I bet at least half of your subscribers are there because so beautiful😊
Your perfect descriptions of the eff ups, are equal parts hilarious and educational..thank you for that 🥰 When I had to removate my house after 2 lots of shite tenants, the thing that took the most time was trying to work out the order of things, and how by doing one thing you made yourself 3 other THINGS
Very nice 💜. I was at first thinking that painting the inside a dark blue would make it look a lot smaller but with the accents of other colors, it turned out looking bigger. Great job you did
Maybe do some shorts? I like your voice it was relaxing and I enjoyed the satisfaction of seeing the transformation immensely! Looking forward to seeing what you do next!
Just found the video and love it! One suggestion. I don’t know how difficult they are to get in the UK but there are toilets with a sink built into the toilet tank lid. That way when you flush, the water used to wash your hands drains into the toilet tank to fill it. Since it is just going to be used in the toilet it is perfectly fine to use water that had previously been used. It also reduces water usage and saves you from having to use the kitchen sink to wash your hands after using the bathroom.
YS on the follow up video. Very brave to conquer this build. Have you considered leaving the ceiling open with exposed beams? It can be still be insulated in this design.
Wonderful transformation and great voiceover! you did such a good job! The music in the end was a little loud compared to your voiceover (at least in my headset) Just a thing to be aware of in the future :) Again super awesome job and nice concept with the "mistake count" :)
Nice! The mistakes in there will be very helpful for home DIY'ers. It's so busy when doing a project to just think "ah, it's no big deal" and BAM it's a huge mistake! Great video!
Very nice & congrats on the successful makeover 👌 Where is the door? A proper house tour for the next video. How did you acquire this home? What is your plan in the open space outside?
Use a damp sponge on small spackle jobs like that, makes virtually zero mess. I'd take the piece you ripped off the countertop, flip it on it's side and cover that gap with it. That came out real nice for such a tiny space, enjoy!
In hindsight, if it's your kind of thing, when the white flecks got all over your blue wall...you could have added more of varying hues of pale yellow, light purple, and white and it could have been a midnight sky kind of feel!
▼ CONGRATS @DAN Quirke! PS - I had to turn the audio off when that loud music crashed in for the reveal! 😲 Did a replay slomo for the reveal so i could actually see what had been completed. You must be so proud of what you accomplished! PPS is there a fridge?
Really that's a great result and you have FAR more patience than me! I probably would have put a piece of dowel along the gap in kitchen bench - cut to fit flush with countertop and wall instead of silicone. Good job!
Brilliant!! The narration, the editing and best of all, you didn't do what SO MANY TH-camrs do by showing the end result BEFORE the time lapse; you saved it for the end it makes for better entertainment. #AlwaysLeaveThemWantingMore
Not only did you do a great first time construction job, you decorated it quite well, too! It looked like a magazine photo at the end! Hopefully you can find a bed that fits you lengthwise! PS not many others have mentioned this so maybe this is just me: I found the music to be a bit loud - especially at the reveal. But 99.9% I enjoyed your video and have watched both, subscribed and given likes!
Loved the video and your showing the mistakes you made was very refreshing. Really would like to see more videos especially a full take your time tour. Fab job Dan😀👍👏👏👏🏚🏠
From the opening shot I was hooked. But, I didn't need to see how it was done, but would have liked a slow tour of the finished product with a floor plan.
One thing you could do to cover the countertop gap in the back is some sort of backsplash! Even a thinner tile would cover most if not all of that gap left!
Good job. One request: The reveal needs a couple steady shots to give us a good long look of each area, esp. the kitchen. Too jumpy.
Definitely agree with you on this, thanks! 😄
Press pause 😅
this!!
Yeah, I had to slow down the video speed for the reveal.
Yes!
EDIT: You can now watch the full tour here: th-cam.com/video/d5zw57fMP_E/w-d-xo.html
I'm down for a full tour.
Yes please!
sure! i was missing a bit of background - like is this tiny home next to the house of your parents? are you planning to plant something in front of yourwindow and how is your experiance using it so far? especially these days its quite warm - do you use an air conditioner?
I did not see any tour ! 😂😂Full tour nx video please
& total cost breakdown. Thx
I would love to see a full tour but please slow down and don’t move from space to space so quickly. I’m still dizzy 😂.
Great job! Thanks for taking us along for the ride! And I appreciate you pointing out your mistakes! Those are the kinds of things that can really help people trying to do the same!! 👍❤️🔥
Great job? it was appalling!

Or just use part of the piece he count of as an up-stand (I think they look better anyway)! Simples!
Without mistakes there is no learning so they aren't really mistakes are they, they are learning points 😁 Job well done.
Great job. I love that you point out mistakes to help folks avoid them if they try something similar.
I liked how you shared your mistakes and how you rectified or adapted to them.
Excellent end result and thank you for not cutting out the mistakes! Super helpful to see. Not to mention you recorded this video throughout the whole process. Legend
Thank you 🙂
I appreciate how willing you are to let it be known that you made mistakes.

Yep! A watersplash...great idea! ( You must be morning at Ikea, right?! Or made the same mistake once?!🤪) Thx for the tip!!👍🏼
*working....
There might still be time for that to be done to cover the gap! Nice idea.
Hello from Southern California! What a fantastic job you did and doing it all by yourself the way you like it, is even a greater reward. Thank you for sharing! 😊😁
An absolute beauty of a renovation. The aspect of adding reality to the mix definitely elevated the video. Great one! Definitely subscribing now.
Thank you!
Loved the mistakes counter, it shows how important it is to plan ahead, but also that without the experience of failing, you will never learn how to do it properly.
You made a superb job with what looked like just a shed. In the end when you had finished any young person would be very happy with that. Well done you. 🥰🐾🐾🌺
It is a shed.
I’m glad I came across this video, and enjoyed it. Going forward though, add “made the reveal too short and jumpy” to the mistakes list!

Great job. Appreciate u showing all of the mistakes. Yeah, we need a slower video of the final look. ❤
The white sports om the blue wall was actually kind of Cool, it looked like stars!
Love that blue you chose! So many people shy away from dark colours in small areas. It really makes it pop.
I don’t know how this doses not haver more views this video is pure perfection keep uploading videos like this and I will sure u will be famous
AHH thank you! I have a million things to improve, but I've put off starting to upload something for 10 years and I'm having so much fun! Really annoyed I waited so long to start!
@@DanQuirkeI loved the pacing and energy in this video, really fun to watch.
Never seen time lapse plaster before - great idea!
Dan that piece you cut off the worktop will make a perfect upstand! (Derrrr,)
I’m sorry but the hole in the pants sent me 😂😂 glad to know im not the only one that keeps old/torn clothing and wears them around the house or during messy projects 😅 ANYWAYS Love how this turned out. NEW SUBSCRIBER HERE !!!!

Looks amazing! In small spaces it's usually recommended to use very light colors. Dark colors make the space feel small.
Looks great, would love to see a floor plan and why you placed everything where it is
End result is great. Mistakes are always made. Thank you for sharing yours honestly.
Great re-model! Tip for practical bedding. Sew homemade quilts made from cotton fabric, designs can vary. Using thin batting or woven cotton blanket, double stitch for durability. Make two, maybe three, then use them as bottom and top sheets, alternate them and wash regularly. Keep them stacked neatly, which takes a quick minute, and living room area looks perfect. What bed. 😃
You're getting loads of new subscribers - we're suckers for this kind of thing! Looking forward to your next project! 😎👍
Wow, you designed and decorated it too? Talented guy you are !! Fabulous!
It’s amazing what can be done with 100 SFT! Hope you plan a lovely entry patio/garden for the front.
The importance of building level.... can never be underestimated. Thanks for telling it like it was.
Watched it more than 10 times now. So satisfying and give us so many ideas for our little project
Well done, great job. I'd have gone for the pop-on blinds in the window seals and a blackout blind to reduce the cluttered feel curtains give. And hung the blackout at the ceiling rather than just above the window, less light creep, clutter and it's out of the way when not in use.
Congratulations. You should be proud & pleased with this accomplishment.
I think you might be the most incredible man I’ve seen on TH-cam. And you’re from the UK. Hooray! I’m insanely impressed by this and slightly envious of your talents I won’t lie!
Oh wow this is the finest TH I've seen. You're a design master.
I love that you show your mistakes. What a great job!!
I know it would be extra expense and hassle, but I would have made the window a glass pocket door or just have it open outwards on security hinges to have access to a small court or garden. A quick flash of a floor plan in the video would be nice also.

Absolutely LOVE the transformation!! I'd definitely live in there full time!!
Great work mate. I've fitted a kitchen having never done it before and it's definitely a steep learning curve.

Great transformation! Yes, on the follow up.
Love the video especially you being honest with your mistakes. This will help other people in the future.
It's gorgeous! What style! Thanks for the journey and tour!

I love watching such transformation videos...i find it very inspiring.. love and blessings from 🇮🇳
All I can say is goodness,omg it's so sweet looking. I want it.
Well done!! Thank you for sharing the mistakes. They are so instructive and interesting.
Next challenge: I’d love to see what set up you can do in an suv or van. btw, love your tiny house. ❤
YS on the follow up video. Very brave to conquer this build. Have you considered leaving the ceiling open with exposed beams? It can be still be insulated in this design.
Wonderful transformation and great voiceover! you did such a good job!

That's awesome! I wet sand the wall plaster though, keeps dust out of the air!
Very nice & congrats on the successful makeover 👌
Where is the door?
A proper house tour for the next video.
How did you acquire this home?
What is your plan in the open space outside?
Dan Love all the work you did. Thank you for posting.
Super gemacht. Wünsche Dir eine schöne Zeit in deinem neuen Zuhause🎉👍🍀☀

You did an amazing job. I would love a (slow) tour to see the house and see what you did with the garden.
Its nice to see someone include their mistakes for once! Good job
Amazing dedication and skill. Congratulations!

Nice to see pump friendly cabinet handles.
Yes! The extra things we have to think about 😅

Loved the video and your showing the mistakes you made was very refreshing. Really would like to see more videos especially a full take your time tour. Fab job Dan😀👍👏👏👏🏚🏠
Very cool idea.
Great use of space.
Enjoy your new home.
It was hard work. 7:21

Holy S… 😮
What a transformation 😃
Great job Daniel! And an awesome video. Very inspiring.😀 looking forward to the next project!
Everyone starts somewhere, I hope things go better on your next project.
Yep would defo like to see a full tour
Love it and the darker color. ❤
Phenomenal! You really pulled that together!
Awesome work. Unlike most youtubers you make me feel like I could do this too. Thank you for the motivation.
To be fair its not rocket science
Everyone can do it. You just need the right motivation.
How cool is watching how things come together on your first video. I hope more are coming! 💙
Great video and colour!
Dex life too!! You're awesome 😊
Fantastic! That's an amazing REALLY tiny space. Thanks for sharing your mistakes😘.
You did a great job. Congratulations. 👍🏽👍🏽
Wow 😍 please make a full video and a house tour
One thing you could do to cover the countertop gap in the back is some sort of backsplash! Even a thinner tile would cover most if not all of that gap left!
A Diamond in the rough, now shines!❣️
this was an awesome transformation of a small space. Awesome work. Keep it coming, i've subscribed just to see what you're going to transform next.
