Condolences on your father's passing. Having just finished a kitchen remodel that was a major struggle, yours make mine look like a walk in the park. Thanks for bringing us along

[@AlastairAppleton]

I'm sorry for your loss, Peter. My Dad passed away last year, and I know it can be difficult. Thank you for a very interesting video, though. I am considering having some major structural work done to my mid-terrace Edwardian property (and possibly doing some of the work myself, which will give me an excuse to buy new tools...) I have concerns about how on earth to get rid of all of the building rubble and waste, so this was a timely and useful video. It's also inspiring to see what your finished kitchen looks like.

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Thank you Alastair, my condolences to you too. Yes, having come through the other side of the build were very happy with the outcome, but there were times when we’d be sitting in our little rental wondering what on earth we’d got ourselves into. Hope yours goes well. 👍

[@PaulBakewell]

[@negotiableaffections]

Condolences, Peter, both of my parents are gone and I've know, the terrible mish-mash of emotions, memories and the day-to-day world trying to go on all around you. I just hope all the positive times, memories etc rise to the surface and put the [sadly] inevitable loss into perspective so you may achieve peace in heart and mind. Btw it must have been nice to see the last brush stroke dry on that renovation, what an upheaval! Take care Peter, and all the best.

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Thank you very much. And yes, we’re thoroughly enjoying the space now it’s finished!

Thanks Shaun. 👍

[@JurassicJungle]

So sorry to hear about your loss Peter. Great to see your build moving forward, we have a similar project ourselves where I was due to do second fix but fell out with the builder so have had to do way more than I ever intended. I was an IT consultant that enjoyed a bit of DIY but learning from people like you and Robin Clevett I have managed to tackle most task getting the best from my tools and even 3D printing jigs. We are in the final few months of work and how learnt a great deal, the most important would be to never do it myself again!

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Thank you. Wow, what a nightmare. We were let down by the kitchen fitter and I had to finish off a few things, but nothing too intimidating - thankfully! Glad to hear the. Videos have helped - Robin’s an amazing resource! 👍

[@johnthresher259]

I think I'm right in saying that old type lime mortar resists the movement of foundations in clay soil much better that modern cement based mortar - correct me if I'm wrong. My self build conservatory has a deeper foundation for the low brick walls than the house has (built in 1960!). Fantastic looking kitchen there Peter.

[@paulhume8083]

Wow! What a big job Peter. Great to see your wife aka Mrs 10 minutes in the video. Hope you don't call her that at home lol. We love our Hello Fresh. Been having it for years and wife can adapt it to suit her food allergies and has found stuff she can eat through them. Looking forward to the next installment of the build

Those costs for the parking slot are crazy!! Sincere condolences for your father Peter.

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

It is a special form of madness here in London. And thank you.

[@gingerelvis]

Staggering skip permit prices in London! When I looked into it down here in Devon it was £60 and parking round me is probably just as limited. Been there and done that too with taking down lathe and plaster ceilings and walls not pleasant. Unelievable how much rubble comes from above our heads, scary really. Looks like it has been worth the upheaval though!

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

I know right - mental! My first lath & plaster ceiling was in a friends bathroom and I came out looking like a 1920s coalminer. Never again. 🤷‍♂️👍

[@worstuserever]

Sorry for the loss of your father, Peter, particularly without warning. We were fortunate to all be with ours at the end, so sad when people are denied the chance. Relatives advise (nag) me to hire in for some jobs because DIY progress can be glacial at times, but here is the reality. You still have to commit time that we can't really spare, meeting someone else's schedule to boot, and costs are blood-curdling. In particular I keep hearing "just get a skip" when there's a lot to dispose of but, also living in London, the permit alone costs hundreds! A van, even with a driver, is a fraction of the price and more flexible.

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Thank you. And yes, the cost of the actual waste management is relatively modest compared to the cost of the permits! Crazy! 🤷‍♂️

[@dougsaunders8109]

I lost my dad a few years back, again unexpectedly. It is bloody hard. The London terrace build is a specialist job for sure, the access, stress and neighbours all adding to the fun. I don’t live in that type of London street. Some family friends live about 2 miles from you. They investigated having a helicopter lift the waist away, yes it is that mad!

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Yep, crazy the things you have to seriously consider!

[@zaxmaxlax]

I hope to see more of those videos

[@priestland1]

Watching your building works makes me again appreciate the fact my little Georgian terrace house has rear vehicular access.

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Nice! End terrace, or rear access?

[@YaaLFH]

Sorry for your loss. I kind of expected to see a micro digger in action here. A friend had one that went through 72(!) cm door - was a bit tight but made digging up their garden for a similar project a much quicker job.

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Thanks! It wasn’t the width of the door, just the tight bend in the entrance hallway. 👍

[@YaaLFH]

@@10MinuteWorkshop Oh, I see. In their house the stairs seem to be a bit further back, just enough to make it possible to get the digger through.

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Thanks Bill! I wear that one just to mess with people’s moiré aversion! 😂😂👍

[@nialstewart8263]

Is that a Quooker tap at the start? Best thing since sliced bread IMHO, properly boiling for tea and you can get veg steaming in 1 minute. We have a steam oven that's never used.

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Similar thing - a boil tap, yes. Great bit of kit, haven't used a kettle since it was connected! 👍

[@annakramar5088]

Is that dirt under the utility room floor? and did you need to pour a concrete slab down?

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Yes, that’s earth/dirt under the floor, and no, no slab - all suspended floor. Big slab for the steels to bear against of course. 👍

[@fritz4345]

Nice shirt!

Sorry for your loss Peter. Some great progress on site though.

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

[@ronboe6325]

Oh my gawd! I'm back to thinking it would have been cheaper to move! :^D OK, a bit like closing the barn door after the horses have fled but a youtuber "Matt Risinger", a Texas construction contractor, has some great video's on home building. In latest one, he and another youtuber contractor visit a site in Norway. Lot's of great ideas (probably in conflict with mine and yours building codes) and at our age we can't really look forward to "the next time we remodel" but I find them interesting anyway. Looks like your local contractors have those very thorny problems with your old homes fairly sorted. At least you're not pulling a colinfurze project. LOL (I'm starting to think surviving your remodel was a minor miracle on your part)

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Thanks! Yeah, looking back at this made us realise it made perfect sense to move out, lol! 👍

[@PaulWoodJatobaFilms]

Sorry to hear about your father, Peter, but I’m can now see why you and Mrs 10 minutes are enjoying your “new” house! Well done!

[@frankblack1481]

My condolences for your loss. You spoke about your dad before and I am sure he was very proud of you. That being said, the King himself must be informed about the short time that elapsed between adding the water to the teapot and the pouring of the tea. Shamefully swift.

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Thank you. Re the tea, that’s known as ‘editing’. 👍

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

Hi, I was horrified to find out the price of skips in my area until I watched your latest video on your house build. I felt as if I had been ripped off when I was charged £160 per skip. As I have a front garden, I got the skips on my land and did not have to give the council any money at all (that would have been very irritating for me). I live in the north of England and have always liked it here but now I have another reason to like living here.

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

I’ve actually seen garden walls being demolished just to get a skip off the road - and tbh with ~£12K saved over the cost of an ordinary build, then rebuilding a front garden wall is trivial! What really bugs me is the assumption by the local authority that parking space will be 100% occupied over the period - and not by my car, that parks for ‘only’ £200/ year. 🤷‍♂️👍

[@npet6842]

Do I see two smoke detectors on the kitchen ceiling Peter ? Factoring in the money spent ( and therefore your selling price has gone up ) would the build undertaken shorten the time necessary to sell your home now that it's been enlargened and refreshed ? I ask as such , as it is hit and miss here depending upon whether there's land available for new builds or one has to renovate a house where there's no land available .

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

One’s a standard smoke, and one’s a CO2, and they’re all interlinked throughout the house. It’ll be a while before we get to find out, but yes, we expect the work we’ve had done to make the house easier to move on, when the time comes - though it’s always a roll of the dice as to wether buyers want something complete and ready to move into or a fixer-upper. 🤷‍♂️👍

[@66meikou]

Condolence to you Peter. Last Thursday, I went to Mum's apartment to make sure she took her meds only to find her dead on the floor of the bathroom. As an architect, I can follow all that's being done with your extension. The skip parking rate was ridiculous.

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

What a shock that must have been; please accept my condolences. And thank you, it was a long project, but worthwhile. Very best wishes. Peter

Sorry re your father Peter. Often there are communal sewers going across the back gardens with your type of house, did you have to get a 'build over agreement' from the Water co atall?

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Thank you. 👍 There was a branch of the sewer that went back into the garden but it had been decommissioned at some point so we were able to terminate it at the new soakaway/manhole. And no, thankfully no build-over required from the water company - hate to think what Thames Water would have charged, lol! 🤦‍♂️
