Best son ever. Handsome shaved face there ❤️
I remember helping my Dad build a garage and workshop in the early 1960's (I was 14) - one long side ( about 40ft) was brick built (the other three sides timber and T&G western red cedar) I learnt some very handy bricklaying skills which came in very handy when I was married. My Uncle Ron was a professional bricklayer (he helped) and it was amazing to watch him slap the courses down at the speed of light! Those were the days…..
Sounds like a very good skill to have
@@Badgerworkshop i wouldn't have like to have done it as a job, its too hard work!
If only those days were here 4 the younger lads instead of pressing buttons like some secretary
I used one of those bases for my shed 2 years ago. Super easy to install and has been perfect. Much easier than slabs or concrete, cheaper and can be reused somewhere else in the future. Looking forward to the next one Matt!
Yes it seems a really good system
I had to dig a 2 metre long trench at the weekend, I'm still getting over it. I'd be completely knackered after that!
Well done Matt. Glad to see you more perky in your videos! I couldn’t help thinking of Benny Hill at the end of your video 😂
That base looks super easy to use, thanks for sharing and thanks for including your son in the video too 🙃
Your great age! The beard free Matt looks 15 years younger.....
Looking forward to the Bosch unboxing 😁
Looking forward to this.
Thank you Pete
Great video Matt !! thank you
Thank you
Nice. The floor will last forever with that setup
Thank you. Let’s hope so
Those plastic grids are a real winner for speed. Thanks for the video on how to use them. Tony
Thank you Tony
Awesome work, Matt! Really nice! 😃
Looking forward to the next part!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you. They have lots to keep me busy
Can't wait to see how this turns out. Looking forward to follow along! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you
Great video. I've been deliberating over what base to use for a garden office and this looks like a great solution. I look forward to the next video.
Thank you. They work well
My workshop is on a similar plastic base. It certainly makes it easier. Great project, hope Mum is feeding you well!
Thank you. She definitely is
Excellent. I've been intrigued by these plastic grids ever since you mentioned them on your podcast!
They work great and are a cheap option
Really looking forward to this build 👍🏼
Lots more parts to come
Awesome! I’m planning a garden building myself, I’ve done lots of research but keen to see your approach 👍🏻
Damn good Michael Flatley impression @2.25. Interesting build. looking forward to see the rest of the build :)
Haha. Thank you
Good job Matt. I was a landscape gardener many moons ago and if you lay those turfs grass side down and make a heap in a couple of years they will break down and produce really excellent seed compost!
Busy days work Matt.👍👍
It certainty was
Very interesting base..
Thank you
Nice job Matt I really like those plastic grids I wish I'd known about them when I laid the shingle at the side of my house
They work well. I will use them again
I used those plastic grids for my shed too. Although I already had an existing concrete base, I wanted to lift it up off it to help stop any damp. They worked out great, and filling them with shingles gives a nice neat look too in my opinion
I bet that looked nice
A very interesting introduction to the build and an interesting way of laying the foundation. Can you please tell us: "how flat and level is the base?" On the video it does not look that flat, somewhat undulating... Also, "How is the underside of the OSB floor protected from moisture?" I am looking forward to the rest of the build.
it's flat enough for my needs
Enjoyed that….at the end, why did you put on ear defenders whilst you trampled the soil??
I know its a bit late now but Gosforth Handyman has a vid on turf lifting. Used the grids for a couple of shed bases. Its a manageable way of doing bases single-handed and avoids the need to mix loads of concrete or lift heavy utility slabs.
I will have to find that video
round my area I could done with your help my work shop roof leak in ps love your videos
I’m looking forward to this series.
Was there any talk about insulating under the OSB floor?
Get yourself a Kicka Digga mate. It makes digging so much quicker
I like the concept of that base, never seen that before. Thanks
Not sure if you did this or not but laying a "BURIED CABLE" warning tape in the trench would have been good practice and might be required by UK standards.
Thank you
Looking forward to seeing the rest of the project matt! I think your pieces to camera could be even better if you drop the word "so" when you are starting off.
🤔🤔🤔
I’ve just completed a Dunster house summer house using the grids and gravel 4.5m x 5m no problems at all just need to be totally level
Glad they worked well
Hi sir did you level the plastic base by lifting it to allow the gravel to fall underneath as you go round with a sprite level . Or did you rely on the sub frame by using wedges to get it perfectly level ? . Best wishes and kind regards 😀👍👍👍
Nooice!!

What a good lad ! Mum will be so proud. Hmmm...My mum kept telling my wife, " I must apologize dear, I didn't do a real good job on him, did I ?" My own old mum !!?? Oh well !! Good job Matt !
Haha thank you Brian
It's like watching a dude wake up from a hangover and told to do something, otherwise he won't get laid. The Emphasis of getting it done, is staggered upon a simple threat.
I recently laid a (much smaller) base of the same type - did you have problems levelling it off? we found when we started filling with pea gravel then the plastic grid started shifting - eventually the gravel seemed to level out but it was a couple more bags than anticipated!
Hi
I will be installing the ecobase 15ft x 10ft and i wanted to know how it held up with the weight of your garden room and if there has been any movement?
Thanks
is there any need to get rig of the turf if the grass is level ??
wat are the suspender belt your using on your trousers ? looks great keeps em up ????
Search for truckers braces
You should have used some Irish music for the stamping down of the ground.....lol.
Great start to the project, dont you scrub up well
Haha thank you.
Hi matt, was this 100mm c24? or did you use 150mm. thanks. great series 👍
Hi, I’m just about to start a similar project. I noticed there isn’t a gap between the base and floor. Is it not necessary to have a gap for airflow?
How much shingle did you use? Laying a 14 x 8ft base in my garden. Being a novice I’m not sure how much I’ll need. Thanks
This is excellent. Ive been looking at those grids for my own workshop.
I have a quick Q: do you think theres any risk of damp (or lack of ventilation) under the joists if theres insulation down under the OSB? I note you havnt got any insulation in this build...
You could raise them up so there is air flow if worried
I would raise to ensure ventilation..
If so hire a compactor plate and definitely let it have some ventilation on the floor joists
Im not far from there im 8n Daventry
Nice job but where is the beard gone?.😃
It will be back
Matt be honest you only had a shave because your mum gave you an ear bashing about looking scruffy didn't she?
As for the summer house doesn't your mum want to use it all year round? If so it would have been better to insulate the floor overwise she's definitely going to find it cold to be in. It's great to see that you're doing something for your mum as I was brought up with the same great attitude, I was brought up in the day's when the most important person in your life is your mum as she is the one person that basically you owe your life too and as such should alway's be willing to help out in anyway shape or form possible. I have four adult children who my wife and I brought up in very much the same mindset but unfortunately if you ask the younger generation for anything nowadays they are alway's way too busy to help you, unless of course it's the girlfriends family that's asking them!. Anyhow well done and hats off to you for taking the time and making the effort to look out for your mum by building her the summerhouse she wants and for getting a shave for her 👏 👍 😉. As always buddy 💯% 👍.
Thumbs up if you think his mum made him shave the beard.
She does not want to see my face
