Excellent work! The vast amount of detail involved, hundreds of hours in planning and the huge amount of physical effort needed to keep going day after day on a one man project like this most people will not appreciate. I know what doing something like this takes and only a small percentage of people will be able to push through to the end - great work!
Thank you very much! The daily moving of tons of material was tough. Good to see the effort came over. Still got lots of landscaping to finish it all off. Cheers
Point taken. My background is TV so Its so hard for me to not add music its the norm and still is. The other issue is a lot of the footage is recorded as a time-lapse and is mute which is truly horrible to listen to or do I mean not listen too? Cheers for the comment I will try to make the music lighter, a more subtle in level perhaps?
Absolutely brilliant, thanks so much for this video as I’m about to embark on a similar, but much smaller project myself. the subjects you have covered so professionally will be of enormous help.. yes you can always get the professional’s in, but the satisfaction and learning by doing it yourself is as important to me as the finished project. Thanks again
Really great video, yep thats a lot of work. Cant wait to get things completed in my own garden workshop and stuff. Just sitting watching others for a couple of months atm while recovering from having a new hip. The joys of age and retirement lol.😂😂
Ha! I almost lost my thumb last sept using my table saw - will teach me a valuable lesson in trying not to be clever and cut corners! Great work and it is taking shape! Well done. Can't wait to see the workshop beginning to emerge.
Nicely done. Welcome to younger Mark world and occasional Mark world 😁 I smile when you talk about the plate compactor being heavy. I was running a 400kg plate compactor 40 years ago. Only moves when you have it running! Nicely done work. And thankfully you are not a civil engineer. They don't have a clue how to do this kind of work! Mark
Excellent build. A tremendous amount of planning went into you drainage and electrical ground works. For your next concrete project 😊 you can have concrete mixed on site. It’s called onsite mixed concrete. No waste and whatever mix and fibres you need. A very useful way of using fusion360 to calculate volume. 👍👍
Wow a lot more work than my 7M x 3M workshop, I dug the foundations by hand as we can't get any machinery in the back. My wife and daughter mixed concrete in a cement mixer and I an my daughter did the base in 3 sections as much as we could mix and tamp in one go. Mine was about 6" deep concrete over the whole area.
Yep that’s a lot of work. Thankfully my neighbours let me drive a digger through their driveway and through a fence panel we moved. Would have been really tough if they weren’t so nice! Cheers
I'll be interested to find out how the fiber reinforced concrete works out for you. I hope it stays nice and solid and you don't end up with a cracked mess!
I must admit to being a bit sceptical. The supplier and specialists I talked to said it would be fine. Having said that so far no cracks at all I did cut a relief in it halfway but even that has not cracked fully. I will be adding a screed as well so even if it does crack I probably wont even know. Cheers
@@CazualHaze My first experience with this system was in 1989. I frequent that building often and there are zero problems. Properly done it is a very solid way to lay a strong concrete floor. Mark

Jeez, I need a nap after just watching your video. Looks like a professional job.
Cheers it’s been a proper slog
That’s hell of a lot of grafting
Yep glad to put my feet up
Great job. Suggestion - you don't need backing music - the narration by itself and sound of work being done is fine. The music just distracts.

had no idea it was so complicated, good on ya. thanks for sharing
No problem 👍

Glad it was helpful! I learned a lot. I need to extend our house so this was a great training exercise.
Cheers

You can do it!
New hip new you!

Crikey! I I didn't realise making a man shed involved such hard work!! Top job , can't wait to see it finished 👍
You and me both!
Cheers

Excellent! Hang onto your thumbs it’s what Separates us from the animals.
Workshop coming along nearly done with construction.
Cheers
Amazing work and will look beautiful when completed. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much! Try the next video the workshop is mostly done.

Thanks! 😃 I find as I get older (no more experienced) stuff seems to be getting heavier.
@@CazualHaze I'm in my mid 50's after having some health issues. I hear you loud and clear. Slower, but still getting it done.
Looked a lot of very hard graft , well done .👍
Yes it was
Glad it’s done cheers

Thanks for the tips!
I did not know about this way to mix concrete!
Cheers
Looking great. I’m impressed. Keep up the excellent effort. Look forward to the next video.
Thanks, will do!
Lovely job 👏🏻
Thank you! Cheers!
Well Done on a great job!!!

Hi, great job. You didn’t use any dpm or are you not concerned?
I put in an epoxy dom in the finished workshop try my next video it’s towards the end.

@@CazualHaze In any event, your work is beautiful! I particularly love the stone retaining wall you have set up, such a nice touch.

I must admit I am struggling to see the downside. Cheaper and easier.
