The Ytong stones are made here in Germany, 20km away from me. 😅

Nice to see some youngsters going at this kind of work. Please please just think a little more about safety first as you are working through it. Put your foot down, be boring, stop and take a moment if in doubt. Seen a couple of sketchy as you like moments just in this video alone.

Should of built a scaffold to get the digger down would of been done in a hour

Why didn’t you just take the roll cage off of the digger?

Why didn't you guys build a temporary wood scaffolding/ramp to drive the digger down instead of using gravel ?

Your man looks like hes on drugs

I think I would have added a concrete path down the side. Even if it was temporary.

Notching the underside of the garage joists is a really bad idea because it will weaken the joist substantially. If you didn’t support it then you risk collapse.

Your lack of head protection is worrying. For the love of god buy yourself a some hard hats. They don’t cost much and a bash on the head from something falling on you could be fatal or at best life changing.

You could have gotten 2 luxurious homes in Texas for that price

Hats off to you guys sweets! Happy New Year……

With crane over the house ?

Good video, I enjoyed 98%……sticking your face right into the camera was not the best idea 😏

You can remove the cab of the digger then put it back on when through the garage.
I have done this many times have had that same digger inside house and barns.

I've used scaffolding to make a ramp for a digger that size a few times. Saves a little time and some back ache 👍

why you don`t slide yourworkshop to another place? upd: ah! i see… concrete floor

You could of unbolted the canopy on the first digger

450 k bargain

Merry Christmas!

Why didn't you just take the shed apart? Much quicker, much easier, much tidier. Six panels to stack neatly and reuse if required!

Excellent vid but please do stop and think more about some health and safety aspects before you start work. Make the use of PPE (eye protection, masks, gloves, hard hat etc) the rule on any job, no matter how small or quick it will be. You are both working so hard that it increaes the chance of an accident so want to ensure you've taken precautions.

knock the garage down get the digger in

why wouldn't you use the digger to scrape all that stuff out?

Would have been a lot easier to get a winch to carry digger over house and land in garden no? Ive had multiple RSJ's casually lifted over my house. No issues. Just a thought

Sorry to be negative but you could of drove that mini 3/4 tonne digger that you ended up with through the pathway in between the house and the garage as the tracks retract. But it was a good video nonetheless!

I have loved watching your updates. I got twitchy seeing that digger wobble, but well done guys!

We got the keys to our reno last Friday. And my gosh its been a whirlwind and lots of hard work so far! 😅

Thanks for sharing! Love this!! 👏👏

Mann!! love the OG Afrobeat soundtrack

I think you should knock down the garage and make a permanent access around the back of the house where the ramp is.

Having proper permanent access to the land behind your house will be worth it.

You don’t need a digger?
Fella’s on shovels. Boom

You are so lucky having all those mates to help you good luck digging until. Next week just take care 👍👍👍🤞

What width is that machine? ..would it not of gone threw the alley between the house and the garage

I thought you could temporarily undo the roll cage from the digger. Am sure I've seen other YouTubers do this.

Do you know what, this female, especially round the eye's forehead and nose, as quite a striking resemblance to Marilyn Monroe

Sheds are basically a roof covering over 2 roof panels, 4 wall panels and a floor .The panels are pre made and are just screwed together on site and take less than an hour to dismantle. Just saying!

well done team. Always put that rollover bar back up as soon as possible on a slope. That slope will be helpful for bringing in/out anything else you like. Happy Christmas if i don't see you again before.

I’m sure you know better than I do about the width of your passageway down the side of the house. You have an expanding track digger / doorway digger usually you can drive them through a standard doorway with the tracks retracted. Hence through the alleyway. I personally would have had the wall batons that you screwed and plugged to the wall on the outside of the sleepers. Pressure of your fill pushing against the side of them instead of trying to just rip your screws out. Can’t knock you for your drive and hard work though. Great couple and top set of friends to come and help too.

When young people casually have half a million to spend; very different my day.

The ryobi special

What width is your alleyway? The diggers tracks and blade retract in to make it about 650-700mm wide (depending on digger) could you have gone down there? Might be worth checking for when you want to get the digger out.

Alfie is an absolute legend. No roll hoop, no hard hat, not even his safety sliders. And a one-handed digger wiggle at the bottom. I hope you're getting Alfie Digger t shirts printed.

oh no .. twood've been better to put the roll bar back once through the garage .

Firstly, is it just me or is Nicky right fit! 😜secondly, hearing English language spoken like this is so strange, the words you use! 😂an I am Australian! Finally, in all seriousness, good on you both for having a go, great to see and I am really looking forward to the future videos! ❤
