Many years ago a bloke I was working with was asked to dig two holes for a large sign. He dug one hole and he started the other when the boss turned up. The boss took a look at how he was digging the hole and then said "That's not how you dig a hole" and then proceeded to fill the first and the half finished hole back in! Meanwhile the guy looked on in disbelief!

My Son and his wife have just announced they are expecting their second child and as a result he needs to move out of his bedroom office and the only space left to go to is into his Garden. We are planning to build his Garden Office ourselves, I've been an avid DIY'er all my life and done lots of building work as well over the years but a bit long in the tooth now for heavy grafting these days, that's hopefully where my son will come in 😁. I came across your channel on you tube and have to say after watching only two videos so far, I'm completely hooked on watching you work and being able to explain and guide people through all they need to know at the same time, amazing. I'll be checking out more of your videos soon and also your website to take a look at the build packs, to see what they are all about. Fantastic videos and keep up this amazing channel. 👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Good to see a build from the start using basic tools. Always a great watch regardless. Can’t believe those holes took you less than an hour. Did my fence and took me over an hour per hole sometimes longer. I found bits of a Morris minor, an old metal window, rocks , glass and then Clay. That’s London for ya

I really enjoy watching your videos, and I learn a lot from them, so thank you for sharing. I am installing a 3m octagonal summerhouse in the garden and considering options for the base. I will be working on it on my own. I also want the option to remove it and restore the garden. A concrete base involves a lot of labor, rebar, and having the concrete mix delivered. The thought wore me out before starting. I then considered concrete pillars using 300mm cardboard tubing with metal brackets inserted. It is easier to do, but the height of the piles will vary after drying depending on the water content. The option I thought I would try, which can be completed in a few hours, is using ground screws at £27/screw, along with a T-bar to install them at £50 or hiring a driver for £330/week. For me, this is the fastest and most affordable solution that can later be removed. You mentioned ground screws but dismissed them because of the cost of having someone do it for you. For your business, would it not be cost-effective if you installed them yourself and purchased a driver? This is the most expensive part, but with plenty of work, you would recover the cost. I am interested in your view.
