Submitted by Keith on Monday 05/10/2026

In 2019, we moved out of the city and into a countryside bungalow that turned out to need WAY more work than we originally thought. 7 years and £51,000 later, here is the full breakdown of everything we’ve done to turn this place into our home. In this video, I walk through room by room covering the full transformation, how much we spent, how much we saved by doing the work ourselves, our biggest DIY regrets, and the jobs we still have left to do.

The Tambour Door Experiment

Submitted by Keith on Wednesday 08/07/2026

I recently acquired a salvaged toddler bed so I will repurpose the timber from that. But I jumped straight in to building this project without planning it first. Will that come back to bite me? Let's find out!
