A HUGE Desk On A Tight Budget

My brother wanted a HUGE L-shaped dream desk on a tight budget - so let's see what we can do with some 2x2 timber and 18mm moisture resistant MDF.

We Made a HUGE MISTAKE Fixing A Shower Leak

In this one, we’re tackling a recurring shower leak that’s been haunting us for TWO YEARS! After ripping out the tiles, we found a nightmare of rotten plywood and black mold—but the real drama started when we unboxed the shower panels... We also learned what went wrong with the original installation.

We made a massive mistake storing our new shower panels, and they ended up "bent like a banana." Watch as Aiden and I scramble to save a £700 investment using some questionable DIY bracing and a lot of patience.

How To Build A Gate To Last DECADES

After years of building and repairing garden gates, I’ve seen exactly why they fail. Today, I’m at my aunt’s house to replace a rotting plywood disaster with a heavy-duty timber gate built to survive the British weather for decades. I’m sharing all my hints and tips in one video from moisture management, braces, what timber to use, rot-proofing and the specific joinery that prevents sagging.

Why We Were Told To STOP USING Our Log Burner

In the summer we received a letter from HETAS suggesting that our wood stove installation was potentially dangerous. This is the story of why HETAS shut down our log burner, why the original installer tried to convince us it was safe, and why the whole process was made far more stressful than it should have been.

No Cash, No Problem: DIY Shed Build

I needed somewhere to store my new pizza oven over the winter so I built a shed using salvaged materials and things I had laying around for under £150 - what a bargain! It's built strong and should last decades! This is the complete project from start to finish and it would make a great bike shed or general garden storage shed. You can build your own using the plans available below.

Turn Dead Space Into Storage!

My brother challenged me to create some extra storage space in his kitchen and help with renovating it - let's go!

DIY Flooring Goes Horribly Wrong

Flooring shouldn't be this difficult... But in our 1930s bungalow mad house we encounter burst pipes, incredibly wonky subfloors, two unexpected archaeological discoveries, numerous sabotage attempts by our pesky cats and then attempt to level the subfloors and lay some stone plastic composite (SPC) flooring!
