Over the past year I built a work-from-home office in my backyard. With the exception of a couple months in 2012 doing roofing and a few months in 2014 testing concrete and soil, I had no experience in any of this!
I learned a ton and made a lot of mistakes, some bigger than others. It was all worth it. I'm loving working from my new office!

Managing to remember to set up a camera for every part of the action is an epic achievement in itself

I can’t believe that only took you 20 minutes to build. That’s incredible

Nice video! No annoying music, no volume changes, does not dwell on one process - gives enough attention to all the processes. One of the best videos i have seen on a out building. 👍Not to mention, it looks professionally done.

This is one of the best construction time lapse videos I've seen in a while. Just enough details to see which construction method you used in each step. There are so many ways to do things. Congrats on finishing too! The place looks awesome.

He also failed to dig below the frost line for his foundation. He’s going to have massive issues down the road and may need to tear the entire thing down and start over. If he’s in a cold state, he’ll definitely need to. He did a lot of things right! But that’s a pretty massive mistake to make. It’s why you generally shouldn’t be making tutorial videos like this unless you actually know what you’re doing; very easy to miss important details like that.

I nearly broke myself this very morning trying to replace my kitchen faucet, and then I log on to RU-vid to see you build a whole fricken office to work in!! Big props to people like you who can work with your hands like this. Must be so special to work in a structure you built yourself. BRB, have to fix a mystery leak under my kitchen sink now that somehow happened after I replaced the faucet... 😅

Excellent work, I wish we could see a bit more of how you did the electrical wiring and set up as well!

@nathanetech 7 месяцев назад

I wish I could show it. The electrical is the only part of the job I hired out. Where I live, you can't legally do electrical work if you aren't a licensed electrician. I most likely could've gotten away with it, but figured it wasn't worth the risk in case someone was ever checking for permits when I sell the house a few years from now.
