Day 10, solo garden room build, plaster boarding and fitting the back boxes

[@royhaffenden3228]

Liam for us non-trades this series has been cracking, unintentionally hiccups are even better as they show ways to overcome them. Thank you, your time is very much appreciated.

[@billmacgregor6797]

The honesty "warts and all" is the icing on the cake! Amazingly useful.

[@dolcevita280]

the knowledge this guy is sharing and how quick and skilled he is it's unbelievable, he raised this build in 10 days on his own and he will probably be complete within another 10, thank you

[@dr7027]

I love how Davy answers none of the questions 😅😅 well maybe 1 or 2... I watched from the start and as the vids went on... decided I can't build this thing so I will just keep the lawn! 😂😂

[@hth2333]

I loved the idea of one of these rooms but no way could I afford to have one built. I then had a silly idea of me building my own with no joinery experience whatsoever but since I have came across Liam and his videos I'm now fully confident that I can get this done with a build pack so thank you Liam and your team for giving me the inspiration and belief that I need. I can watch hours of your content and love the attention to detail and how good you explain the process. Thanks again

[@thegardenroomguru]

Thank you

[@hth2333]

I have emailed your website and got a reply from siobhan then I have asked about a build pack for a specific 6mtr x 5mtr room and currently waiting to hear back regarding that

[@sinin70]

Stunning. Need to binge watch again....

[@sinin70]

I do hope you revisit to show the final details though....

[@thegardenroomguru]

Back on Friday mate Doors finally incoming

[@georgeomalley6066]

The Macgyver of Garden office builds, waiting for you to whip out a packet of Wrigley's Gum, to add to your tool collection, " Never in the field of building, has so much been Accomplished with so few tools" 😂🤣😂 Appreciated the Blood Sweat and 😭 and hard earned Knowledge that you've shared on your Channel 👏👏👏

[@dbdino]

This has been a great series, I have all the gear including a dewalt nail gun, just need to see the bifold installation then that's me in the garden all summer! if I had a pound for every time you said " Davey" it would be a cheap build, well done all...

[@leedavis8913]

I have quite a bit of experience in garden rooms etc and I can’t get enough of your videos. Brilliant 1st class work. Well done Liam.

[@daver9571]

Thank you for this amazing series Liam, it has been incredibly valuable to see the whole process with everyday tools. I can't stop looking curiously at the corner of the garden now :joy:

[@thegardenroomguru]

Thanks Dave, that’s really good to hear

[@phar874moochieter4]

This is incredible work, and to explain the steps of the build is very impressive.

[@wanderingwoodward]

Just reiterating what most people have said great for us non trade people and warts and all is just what is needed to show your human like us all well done bz

[@jasonhoward5226]

Liam just the best! learnt so much and for us able DIY'ers this has really inspired me to consider building one myself.

[@iangulliford8536]

Liam, I can't thank you enough for this series, has made a huge difference to how I will tackle the rest of my build and has been invaluable in fully finishing my insulation and other fiddly bits. Inspirational stuff and confidence inspiring.

[@johnthornton7996]

I planned to build an office space in the garden and came across your tube video's which i've become addicted to. I've recently purchased the build pack and intend to get cracking over the easter weekend. Superb

[@annaxmegan]

Hi Liam, Really enjoyed watching this series, I learned so much in the last few weeks, keep up the good work, Many Thanks, Rondog Edinburgh

[@gordonharrop7528]

These guys have already said it, except that I love watching this even though I'm not considering a build! Just enjoying watching the skills and banter. Wish you all every success.

[@Leonard_Smith]

Well done on lasting this long, your body language said you wanted to quit after day six... Personal injury aside I think you showed you are capable, and the process is robust. May your profits continue to increase during 2022.

[@deano6641]

Thanks again Liam. Invaluable insight and entertaining at times too 🤣👌

[@seancleary1985]

Just a class video series. Gonna share this my old man so we can build one when the weather gets a bit better! Nice 1

[@davidbradley4635]

Brilliant series of videos Liam, well done sir. I fully expect to see you on TV one day, I don't think you realise how entertaining you and Jen are.

[@lombard71]

Great series Liam....Good workmanship and peppered with practical tips for a sole builder! Keep them coming!

[@MadTitanGamer]

Top quality work, lots of tips and tricks plus work rounds for the odd hiccup. Building one this year and these videos have helped so much 👍🏻 liked the glasses quote, not on your own age catches up with you. Thanks for the uploads.

[@Stitchchannelfan]

What a great set of videos

[@PeteMulv]

Another great video, it's good to see the mistakes and how you got around them, there the time savers for anyone doing it the first time, thanks.

[@smellypunks]

Great videos. Would be interesting to see a bigger one with bathroom but I am thinking that is outside of permitted development.

[@daniel__clark]

Cheers for the series Liam, so much useful information and tips and tricks. Davey will eventually remember to bring a level to every job, I'm sure.😂

[@morpheus1138]

What a great series. I am several days into a lone build so absolutely perfect! I have learned so much from your videos following weeks of viewing and am getting on great with the project thanks to you and your team Liam. Really appreciate your work. Cheers.

[@jasonwright1753]

400 screws needed, 520 used to cover mismeasured cuts 😅😅 keep up the good content

Liam….. just to say mate , ya bloody good mate. Love all ya videos great in-depth content mate 👍👍👍👍👍

[@gazobee]

I am loving this series of videos. Watching this along with your other videos has given me everything I need to know to build for myself. You are a star for sharing this information. I would love to get you to build mine but I live miles away and could not afford to get your expert help. I can’t wait to get started. I hope the finger gets better soon!

[@michaelord8084]

Watched everyone so far, lot of graft gone in to both the build and filming so well done all. When is Day 11 coming :)

Another great video so gutted you had to stop waiitng parts this has beciome my daily watch,the amount o f times ive hit the NOG in! i used to cut the back of the clip off and put a screw through.

[@iantaylor5618]

well done and super build with lots of greats tips.

[@PaulM_aka_4c21]

Great video especially the work arounds !

[@robertdady7126]

I slide my bolster flat under plaster board and simply line up board and stand on end of bolster and it will lift spade end upwards closing gap,be gentle and it will help lift board if you cut to much of just put small lever point under handle to help you,

thanks for the series, looking forward to seeing finished product in the future, hope your finger improves !!

[@johnnewell3530]

You’re a top bloke Liam. When I get round to it I’ll be in touch for a build pack. You’ve been through the cost of the tools. Can you give a ball park for the building materials for that 3x3 including the windows. Hope what ever you need to sort out works out for you.

[@ade7163]

Great twist on the prize! 😂

[@thussain321]

Wish I had come across the tip about taping the screw holes for the back boxes as would've saved a lot of time!

[@chriskemm]

Fantastic series I’ve really enjoyed watching. I watch it on the living room TV, I’ve been annoying the whole family! I’ll definitely be ordering a build pack for the same size room. I just wondered if you have a rough guide on material costs? I’m sorry if you’ve answered this already. It didn’t come up in the videos and I know it will be very rough.

[@rebug5614]

Great watch as ever that Liam 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 maybe you should mark horizontal lines on the plasterboard for your noggins to save added hassle 👍🏻

[@thomascoyne157]

Nice work 👍

Great series! New subscriber

[@andymack9806]

Amazing content as always

[@judytaylor2213]

A brilliant and informative series Liam. I have already purchased your build pack and this series answer pretty much all my questions. I do have a couple though. 1. The build pack says to lay down breathable membrane on the floor underneath the flooring. You didn't do that in the series. Any reason? 2. The roof timbers run at an angle to give you the fall which means that the front and rear ends are not perpendicular to the ground. Do you cut them at the required angle to give you a perpendicular facia board? Thanks again. Colin

[@stewala3069]

Boss Liam lad 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@barrygill2213]

Loving it liam 👍👍

[@schietschijf]

Great video as always although I like this series more because it is more in line with my future project. With regards with the plasterboards in windows and doors, have you tried to use the saw on the short end for cutting but using the stanley knife to cut the paper back of the board? It is the same procedure as cutting your board to length. In this way, you have less dust to clean up.

[@gordongeary9843]

I’m hoping to start mine this year, Looking at 3.5m by 7m looking at adding an overhang, Can you edit a design pack? I like the 45degree ends also, can I borrow Jen lol, Such detail in your Vids, been watching for a couple of years, can’t wait to get Started. Keep up the good work Lads n Lassie

[@robbieroche6779]

is it possible to use foil back boards or would that sweat with vap barrier ? great job looking top job atm very well constructed for a one man band

[@TheNorthernmunky]

I watch them all, in sequence and 2 times, so I can harness my inner Liam and build summat for the missus to do Joe wickes in

[@TheWs25]

Great vids. Are you able to tell us the cost of this build (and the size), even if ballpark? Thanks.

[@mathewgallimore1484]

Loved the series and the insight into your methods. How far do you travel for work?

Just had a look at your self build packs and I'm after 6m x 5m which isn't available!

[@tauntonlad]

Where is the rest of this series please ? i can only get up to this episode them i can't seem to find the others after this

[@plamola]

Great series, very informative. A real pleasure to watch a professional at work. I was wondering, if you didn't have the height restriction in the UK, would you still opt for a hybrid roof, or chose the warm or cold roof variant instead?

[@thegardenroomguru]

Warm mate

[@Brian18741]

Nice, thanks for leaving the fuck up in and showing the fix, you know we're gonna need it! 😉🤣👍

[@carllamb6711]

Liam, how far would you travel mate….. would you come to chester ? With free accommodation ? For you and ya staff …………. Just asking 👍👍👍👍

[@jmom687]

A quick question 9 x 4 mt do you need extra strength half way in through the building ? Or would this be ok all the way down on the bigger scale building?

[@thegardenroomguru]

same scenario for walls (if thats what you mean) the roof ties them in

[@jmom687]

Perfect I thought with that length you might need extra support. Thanks so much 🙏

[@jamiechappell44]

What bit holder and pozi bits do you use for the impact driver please mate?

Thanks :)

Real question is where are you getting the H83 containers?

[@thegardenroomguru]

What the what, what?

[@nathanholmes4717]

Liam, spot on as always. Just out of interest (I know your not cedar cladding this build), but on a normal cedar clad build, what oil are you using and do you oil regardless of the forecasted weather? I have osmo which I will be waiting until August based on the temperature recommendations!!

@@thegardenroomguru nice! Thanks, has been a great series but still not sure I can attempt a build! Do you offer remote quotes? Got an odd shaped build off the back of a garage.

[@sebmills25]

Are the external sides weatherproof (breathable membrane) before you put the cladding up or would you need to cover if it started raining?

[@TL-uo9xk]

the membrane is waterproof, lets moisture pass from inside to out, but not outside in.

[@paulknox999]

I thought I was understanding your stud spacing until this video.. you were leaving 400 gaps to best use insulation and not 400 centres which I got but now when you are putting the plasterboard up your studs are now on 400 centres so I got a bit confused again

[@thegardenroomguru]

It can be a bit mate Here’s the answer Floor = 400 spacing as you get best use out of installation snd 22mm floor boards will span distance Walls, 400 centres as insulation isn’t a big issue, plaster boards are 1200 wide so 0, 400, 800, 1200 centres Roof same as floor , 400 spacing, maximum use of insulation snd only a few plasterboard to cut to make fit, roofing OSB will span 400 spacing

Hi Liam, another amazing video in this Solo build, it just shows everyone that it is doable (if thats a word 😆) by one or two people on their own without thousands of pounds worth of tools. Hoping to start a self build in the spring with my son helping me as I'm too long in the tooth for a lot of heavy work, I did have a question if thats O.K., can the floor joist "Shoes" be bought ready cut to size and drilled with a 25mm hole as i imagine the Evolution magnetic drill and bits are quite expensive ??. Thanks again for all your insight's, tips and tricks for building your own garden room.

[@thegardenroomguru]

Yes mate, lots just use the washers to support the timber, absolutely fine, but obviously I need to ensure it’ll last so we use the shoes, Bapps for bolts do it all

[@colindoesdiy]

@@thegardenroomguru Thanks Liam 😁 will take a look.

[@aerobar2551]

@@colindoesdiy any local fab shop or smiddy would cut the shoes and drill holes as required for you, wouldn’t take much with proper tooling. Worst case scenario you can buy hole saws for metal and they will cut through although a bit more work than mag base broach bits. 👍

Just about to set-out on my own build project. 6m x 4m workshop. had my slab poured last month whilst it was still mild so just waiting on materials.
