Great to see jen back in the team 👏 😀

[@davidhill431]

Where'd she go then?

[@Carl-re6zb]

You guys are perpetual motion... Your leadership and motivational approach to your team hits the right balance between camaraderie and functionality.. I feel exhausted just watching your vids.. Keep up the excellent work and good luck with the nomination for the award.

[@jimjulien01]

Wow! I didn't expect to see these build videos again but I'm so glad you're all back. The advice you give is invaluable and appreciate the time you take to do these videos. I voted a couple of days ago for you all and wish you all the best. This is the exact size I'm intending to build in our garden so look forward to see how it goes. Welcome back Jen 👍🏾

[@bobshep1012]

Liam, because of videos that you an your team do it helped me build my own little space/ pub in the garden. And that's what the videos are done for, to help those who wanna self build. I didnt no a thing when I started but kept watching video after video and eventually trial and error I learnt what worked and what didn't for me. I went down the pallet route to start with and we had some awful weather so they ended up being no good. But eventually I got it built and its done its purpose for 2 years now and is still spot on, i have bits i wanna change and still have bits to finish. I took close to 500 pictures and videos of the work to look back on aswell or show people who asked about it. So your videos help the likes of people like myself who have no clue but wanna give somat a go. (Because of you I'm considering a camper conversion now 🤣) anyway keep up the good work. 👏 👍

[@jimhartley1421]

A brilliant video giving me loads of practical tips for my shed build. I cannot believe people give you hassle for explaining not just 'what' you do but more importantly 'why' you do it. Thanks for the all the advice. 👍

Hey Guys, just a word of encouragement from a viewer, you have inspired me to build my own garden office. So ignore any negative comments, people just love to moan and pick holes online. Keep up the good work, know how long these take to make!

Looking forward to this build, I’m in the process of insulating mine. I’ve been told not to put insulation direct onto the back of the board but to leave an air gap, before I board onto it.

[@craigthomson111]

Hello, I think I am addicted to watching your videos, no wait I am, and I am all caught up and was great to see another episode this morning. I am planning on doing a build at some point, just because I have to, not because I need a garden room. I find the videos are relaxing and valuable. One quick question looking at todays video, you start directly from the laying of the timber floor structure, can you do a video on setting out the rodding please? Are there specifications to where they need to be, what size of rods are required an what depth they go into the ground? What cement, post Crete is used etc? Can you show a rod install and they placement. :) Great material, great guy, you should offer a training camp, I might want to change profession or some franchise option , I could be building garden rooms in Scotland. Thanks again. Can you hurry up and get the next video up please ;)

[@chrisillingworth7967]

Fantastic little video Good to see the team on it and the speed you put it all together is fantastic. Where did Jen go? Extended holiday?

[@j444nsy4]

Liam that glue sets with moisture so by taping it there is no moisture getting to it so if your gonna tape it spray it with water first👍🏻 Great vid aswell mate I love the process.

[@thegardenroomguru]

was still wet this morning 😭, all sorted now, ill spray next time though!

[@antonygreenup]

she is BACK........ good to see ya girl 🙂

[@chrisgidley8946]

Where has Jen been Iv not been on here as much lately probs because like Liam said he’s not been doing as many videos etc.

[@joshddavies]

Brill as always. What about using a forstner drill bit to recess the nut holes on the 4x3 instead of chainsaw? Use the forsnter bit first then use the 25mm bit second.

[@chrisb2443]

I’m building a workshop for the first time to a similar spec…..I started off with the anal approach of making every detail perfect but quickly realised I was wasting my time. If it’s in the fabric of the building it just needs to serve it’s purpose. I’ll put more time and effort into the parts that can be seen on the outside like cladding. I’ll still be building it in 10 years otherwise. Great video guys 👍

[@danielcookeb90]

Jesus Christ fella, exhausted just listening to you! You are a legend fella! Never stop, its entertaining, instructive, knowledgeable, practical and above all achievable by us mere mortals! AND, your quips keep me smiling throughout! Any knobhead making disparaging remarks - send me a PM 'n I'll use a certain set of skills - to make em, like those tools lost under the insulation, disappear!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Brilliant!

[@kevinchamberlain7928]

No nonsense approach! As it should be. Carcassing is not a time to be precious and anal, ESPECIALLY when you have employees all around you. Finesse is for finishing. I have traditionally used blocks/mortar pillars but I'm gonna use the threaded rod method on my build!!! Been chippying 33 years but I'll always learn! TY!

Welcome back legends!

[@benjarvis2424]

Hi Liam, great to see your videos up and running again, have you though about using a router with a bearing guide to cut the notches/create the space for the nuts on the sill plate? Could be a touch quicker than the chainsaw!

[@thegardenroomguru]

Yeah, tried it mate, chainsaw rules 🤗

[@leewatson6706]

Great content and detail.crqcking job. With prices rising ,what are you looking at for total price of this particular build?

[@mickeyyoung9233]

To sit the nut into the floor plate use a 32mm spade bit 1st to the depth of the nut and then the 25mm spade to push the hole of the rod all the way through? Much faster and neater than hacking out the top of the plate ? An excellent method using the threaded rod instead of pad stone or slab - ill definitely be looking into this ...

[@arturricardozandron3469]

Hello Liam , Firstly i would like to say thanking you for all those videos and information how to build a Garden Room. My question to you is : If i would use this type of construction and install garage door , for the insurance propose this will class as a garage ? Reason im asking you is , i have heard Garage is when is build from concrete or brick walls this is maninly for motorcycle insurance. Or this still will be calass as a garage. Thank you for your reply.

Hi could you please advise what is tolerance on timber frame structure? I mean in height is it 5mm every 1m? Thanks in advance

[@Professional_Youtube_Commenter]

10:15 why dont you use a big spade bit that is the diameter of the nut up to a certain depth and then complete with the narrower spade bit for just to rod diameter.

[@ollie6512]

I'm going to be purchasing a build pack from you. As I'll be doing this project as a weekend warrior will it matter if the framing gets wet from rain occasionally? Or would you advise covering it up with something when I'm not working on it?

[@tilerman]

The materials will take a bit of rain no problem, but i think the issue would be the working area around the build will be wet and if it's a lawn for example it's going to get real messy and the lawn ruined. I work outside a lot in my job and wet ground just isn't nice to work on.. I know it's hard looking for a dry spell in the UK but i would wait for when you know the weather should be decent.

I built a garden room and i used ground screws. Amazing system. No digging holes, no concrete mixing. Had to hire the tool for putting screws in but well quick and no knowledge required just a bit of strength. Those things dont go anywhere.

[@jondenman9069]

Is there a reason you don't use a common top flange hanger without the extra long tails? A Simpson Strong-Tie HU36TF for instance? the flanges would probable not interfere with the opposing joist needing to offset the layout.

[@thegardenroomguru]

we use the hangers for multiple uses and the ones we use fit the bill and are cost effective.

Hi,,I’ve got a concrete base for a 12+9 buy want to build one similar to yours,,I’m wondering if you have and videos where you have built one on a base but bigger than a concrete base if that makes any sense,,I want a 15ft wide one but my base is only 9ft wide 👍👍👍👍

[@Ben-in6qh]

Cut all your threaded bars the same height with a laser, then use cups on your threaded bar locked down and screw from the side into the joists, no need to drill all those pesky holes and cutouts for nuts. Are the joist hangers a bit overkill? Nails have worked for hundreds of years

[@thegardenroomguru]

Too much movement mate, it’s timber framed and I’ve gotta give a warranty on it, I’d love to Paslode the hell out of them, but I know the floor would sound like a mouse choir in a month or two 🫣

[@adamallen8863]

If you just used a forstner drill bit for countersinking the nut first before the spade bit you’d be done in 5 seconds

[@thegardenroomguru]

I’m confused as to what people actually listen to when I do these videos, I’ve explained many times why we don’t use a forstner bit. It’s just another thing we don’t need to be buying or carrying around, also, the nut can’t be wound down if we don’t have the bar Ronnie made for us. I’m not being funny about this reply, I’ve just heard the comment too many times
