Day 8 off a solo build, 1st fix lighting and some insulation, along with noggins

Day 8, we are structurally built and the roof is water tight.
Time to get some cables run so we can get the insulation fit and think about plaster boarding.
ELECTRICITY KILLS! ONLY COMPETENT INDIVIDUALS SHOULD CARRYT OUT ELECTRICAL WORK.
CONSULT A PROFFESIONAL!!
We use 50mm PIR in the walls and will be using 100mm in the roof.
1mm twin and earth is run for the lighting circuit
Build packs available @

Anyone else both eagerly waiting for the next episode each day but also never wanting this series to come to an end? Haha

[@Homeimprovement3]

Hey answer my question please

[@seanocarolan359]

As we say in Ireland. You're some boy for one boy. Love these and have learnt a lot.

[@thegardenroomguru]

Love that saying, never heard it before 🤣

[@Philster007]

Haha,you've inspired me to build my own garden room. Only downside is I can't get the rubber roof from anywhere in Ireland. Felt my cheaper option. Great videos

[@davesaxon7348]

That fingers looking sore, really enjoying these videos. Thanks 👍

[@markdyballuk]

great, as they all have been in this series, better than watching tv, sorry about your ailments, fantastic job

[@danielnorton9363]

Just ordered a 7mx4m build pack....I'm all in now! 😯

[@adamjoseph8123]

Very good videos very detailed.

[@graeme5342]

Another great video!!!! Thanks!!!👍

[@peterbeange640]

As someone about to set out on building a garden office (using Liam's build pack) on my own with no help, this series is invaluable. Thanks Liam, huge appreciation.

[@thomascoyne157]

Nice work 👍👍

[@muffchinthe3rd515]

Amazing tutorials so far, expertly done and it’s really appreciated thanks

[@barrygill2213]

Waited all day for this 😊😊

Really impressed with the build so far. I've shared this series to a Man Cave group on Facebook.

[@PeteMulv]

Cracking job Liam, really like this series. Good man.

[@leegunnerz1830]

Thank you very much for this helpful video and explaining every detail of each stage in depth, I really benefited from it as I'm a carpenter but also trying to learn the basics of electrics 👍👍

[@paulperrin2152]

Another quality video

[@MaC-sv5co]

Great job, well done. Really enjoying this series but don't push yourself too hard mate. Nothing wrong with taking a few days rest to recover.

[@Carl-re6zb]

Thank you so much for taking the time to film and share your extensive knowledge. Your passion, enthusiasm and professionalism is second to none. You are a true gent. Thank you once again👍🏾

[@stevewardle1028]

Fantastic set of videos Liam. Can't wait for the next one. Love the way you are growing your brand/businesses by giving a bit back. Your reputation and trust score is high. Happy to recommend you. Hope the finger gets better soon, looks damn painful

[@therealdojj]

first your finger, now a cold, just got to say that we all appreciate the work you put in and the encouragement you've given to so many people to start their own builds thanks

[@omerfar]

This is the best thing for making home office and shed

[@debbiewells202]

Watching these daily has replaced my binge watching box sets on TV 😂 much more educational. Felt for you today with you’re battered finger and cold. Hope you recover swiftly!

[@davescrim1]

Yet another great vedeo series. I found a PDF Version of the IET On-Site Guide online. Only 218 pages long!

[@deano6641]

Brilliant once again. Look forward to the next. Get plenty of vit c in you and wrap up warm 👍

[@darrenpaulgreen]

Respect to you for soldiering on Liam 👍! I work as a joiner/handyman and have been struggling with severe tendinitis in my right hand since Christmas and having to work with a wrist brace on is seriously doing my nut in, so feel for you with a non-working finger. Hope it’s on the mend as I know I’m a bit behind on these.

Day 7 - This is better than Line of Duty.... Really enjoying .. learning lots - Thanks Liam and team

[@Murdo132]

Think this is what everyone has been waiting for. Loving this series Liam. Start to finish. This customers getting the Royal treatment.

[@Leonard_Smith]

Get well soon.

[@stephenhunt9710]

Ordered a build pack (8 x 3.5) and currently getting prices but not going to start until spring and going to use power tools! Fair play to Liam for getting on with the solo build using minimal power tools ,an injured finger, and some very cold days. I've learnt some really useful work arounds though. I didn't realise how current this build was until day 8 last night. this series is seriously addictive.

[@Cablesmith]

Nice work mate, get yourself the Dewalt cable stapler it’s perfect for your work. Rapid 👏🏼

[@SecretSanta]

Ready for part 9 now :-) Fingers crossed (oops) that you don't have a cold tomoz 🙂

[@jamesjackson3930]

Fantastic video as always. Blaming the runny nose on a cold Ay 😂

[@bobturner3645]

Just a helpful tip for future jobs Liam, when pulling cable from the drums, make sure the cable comes off the top of the drum. It will pull off much easier 👍

[@richardferguson6891]

Liam - when I watch your videos, I always think you're at the top of your game, everything's been thought through. As you were drilling the noggins, I thought about cutting then first, then you're already doing it! Great videos, keep it up!

[@thegardenroomguru]

@theonetheonly4116 that’s why you’re watching me and I don’t know who you are 😉idiot

[@shizzleinthenizzle]

quick insulation tip. space your walls at 438 centres to give you a gap of 400mm. you get 3 rips out of a sheet with no waste. the dewalt battery table saw is a massive time saver for ripping 2.4 x 1.2 sheets down. Use the vac and no horrible stuff floating about. We do this for roof work and cut the whole stack outside in 15 mins then zero dust to breath in.

[@AndiePiercy]

surely you then have a nightmare with the plasterboards?

[@shizzleinthenizzle]

yes its a compromise but the cost of inuslation makers it worth it to cut a couple boards.

[@Gary-np3ec]

Good idea. I prefer to keep on 400 centres and rip the insulation sheet the other way, into 1.2m strips using the track saw. They are easier to fit than a 2.4m length. And not much waste off the full sheet.

[@siaddersl2936]

Another good one. Long nosed pliers to hold the nails on the clips saves your fingers...

[@camwinstone]

He couldn’t do it because of his injury.

[@bhema2001]

@oakwood garden rooms - great videos and thanks for sharing knowledge / information. Searching for someone to build a garden room for me. Am doing a thorough research as advised by you. Pls do shed some light on the back story of oakwood - when, where and how did it all start ?

[@bhema2001]

wonder why this is getting deleted..

[@KRShaw242]

We've got a "what I'm gonna do" drinking game going with this one. Never been sober for days lol. Cheers Liam. all good fun mate, I'm sure you would join us if you were here. Loving this series but also love it when the full team are there as well. Keep up the great work and Davy is bang on with the filming, nice one lad!

[@CulturalArchitect]

Giving me loads of confidence to solo build. When are we getting another live session, Liam?

[@thegardenroomguru]

Soon

[@jwd888]

cheers

[@michaeloverton3181]

Hello,what make of expanding foam do you use, thanks for your help

[@TheOldChappers]

Guru.

[@dibley1973]

How do you stop the expanding foam gun nozzle from blocking?

[@dibley1973]

Is there a reason to push the wall insulation to the outside keeping the airgap inboard, instead of pushing it until its flush with the inside, leaving the airgap outside?

[@johnhickey1369]

Slowdown you will have a heart attack but you do do a brilliant job wish I was young enough to do it good luck mate and to your gang it’s a pleasure watching you john

[@ronandaly96]

Have you guys ever used that superfoil insulation? If so, is it at all worthwhile or just go for pir? Loving the build videos, learning tons.

[@garethbritton3551]

Day in the life of Liam: Wake up... Finger = pain. Outside = freezing. Work = Doing it all myself (with minimal tools). Company = Davey. Get home = Video editing... Repeat. If it's any consolation, these videos are excellent. Keep going!

[@Wisewood100]

Thanks for this series Liam, it's come just at the right time as I'm finally starting my self build. I know it's essential to use treated timber for the base but wondered if you use treated for the rest of the build or switch to untreated c16?

[@thegardenroomguru]

treated for the base as this is still open to moisture from below. CLS for the walls as this is protected from the elements and like wise for the roof, C16

[@CanOfRabbitHoles]

Thanks for showing the max height measuring. Has anyone ever actually complained or gotten grief off the council from your builds and you had to shut them up?

[@_Miner]

Thanks for all the videos of you slaving away on this build. Where can we send stuff to you btw (postal address)?

What about First Fix sockets

[@Homeimprovement3]

I love you bro

[@KristianRoebuck]

Just noticed the "INSERT FINGER HERE" written on the circular saw 🤣

[@bigmac5217]

I’m sorry if this has been asked, is there any difference with having your air gap at the front of the wall rather than an air gap between your PIR board and outside wall?

[@paulmiller2073]

Put the sockets in

[@nuttersmcghee]

Liam where did you get the army jacket? Cheers

[@totaltouring829]

Two Words Liam “,Bless You “ Get yourself a lemsip ..

[@thainigthu]

See if you hung roofing battens from the roof joists, it would lower the ceiling by 22mm, but you could create voids for servicing such as cables or pipes and avoid drilling through joists

[@makg4655]

Should The cables not be min of 50mm below surface?? Eg tight to roof and also outside ?? Why not run between studs ?

[@thegardenroomguru]

They will be once it’s double batten, Also rcd protection

[@smellypunks]

Does the cable not degrade over time being outside of the insulated envelope?

[@thegardenroomguru]

No mate, only uv will deteriorate it, and it’s covered

[@georgeomalley6066]

Have you heard of Quinetic Wireless light switch system, Cuts down on running cable back to the light switch ( obviously on this job might not be economical, but on larger Projects/ Renovation etc) Look up N Bundy Electrical, KZbin. Internal low profile/wafer Led lighting, could save on cutting deep pockets out of ceiling insulation. Great video, learning something New every video.

[@jp6975]

There's actually another video where Liam and the team put in recessed LED strip lights in the ceiling and walls. That was a pretty nice build and look with those lights.

@@thegardenroomguru wishing you all the best Liam. Your videos are absolute gold dust. Thank you for doing them.

Thank you, I genuinely mean this. Things can be hard sometimes and amongst the random trolling and criticism I get messages like yours. There’s a whole community of support I never knew existed

[@K.s.k1]

@@thegardenroomguru I understand what you mean. when you have built something so good you are bound to get criticism and trolls. It’s obvious you are doing something right. Unfortunately you’re in the trade and what do all tradespeople like doing? Criticise. Your following, community, business and most importantly your work is unbelievably good. Well done to you and your team. You have given me the confidence to build my own. I’m in London and if money was no object I would have you building mine. 7x4 build pack will be purchased.
