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!

We paid for a professional homebuyer survey thinking it would protect us from hidden issues — but it ended up missing major problems that cost us nearly £30,000. In this video, I break down what the survey got wrong, what we discovered after moving in, and why I think these reports aren’t worth the money. If you’re buying a house in the UK, you need to watch this first.

This old pergola with corrugated plastic roof has to be the WORST wooden structure I've ever seen - built 20-25 years ago (we think) at my mother-in-law's house. I decided to demolish it and start again using quality building materials. I used pressure treated 4x4 posts, 6x2 c24 grade timber and 16mm triple wall polycarbonate sheets to complete the transformation!

I had lots of leftover offcuts of salvaged oak floorboards from when I built my garden room floor, and I needed a piece of furniture in the garden room - something with a cabinet, a drawer, and something we can perch drinks on!
