TOTAL COST TO BUILD OUR HOME - It might surprise you! 

It has been inspirational watching you both build your little home. So looking forward to seeing your new home come together

Windows and blinds: I'm sure they're not cheap but have you looked at the type of windows and blinds in German homes? I'm from Canada but after visiting some friends in Germany several times... If I was ever building my own home I'd she'll out for German windows with the shutters/blinds built in between the glazing. I know one thing for sure, I'm not a fan of blinds. They get so dusty and are not easy to clean. It's tedious and never that thorough. Another plus on the German windows. Easy to clean.

Hit the nail in the head, all the money saved on rent alone makes it worth it. We are also doing a barn conversion and whilst we spent 10k on a static caravan I can confidently say it's already paid for itself 2.5 times over and we still have a caravan so win win as far as we are concerned.

Are those baby scan pics on the fridge!?!

Inspirational & admirable. Thoroughly enjoyed watching each stage 🙌

These videos must be an unbelievable aid when trying to sell your properties. To have the full build documented, to know it's been built the right way, that's value added.

That's a real bargain - although the "sweat equity" is massive - having seen the outside of the cabin, the location and the potential with the big house build, the whole project is stunning.

Well done to the pair of you! Thank you for breaking it down. That seems incredibly cheap. Extensions usually cost more and you’ve built an entire house! Brilliant!

Congratulations on keeping the cost so low, I just finished a rear extension for a customer and that was 50k

👌👍👏 But have you finished cladding the outside yet? 🤣🤣

Magnificent effort. Just goes to show how much you can save IYC DIY!

It has been a wonderful series guys, personally I think your finances should be your own affair and not anyone else's business. I would much prefer a video not on your finances but instead how much you think the main house will cost to build plus how long do you estimate that will take, that would be great thanks.

Thanks for the breakdown very interesting. One thought one question. Thought - on your blinds good after sales is priceless. Any company can deliver it is way issues are dealt with if something goes wrong that counts Question, how much did you have to tidy up to do whole house run around 😁.

Hi guys, I'd be very interested to know how much you earned from the youtube videos of the cabin build

Brilliant well done guys your hard work is paying off as ever 👏 👍 you definitely are inspirational 👍

Well done ! Personally, I just don't understand how kitchens are so expensive ( ex white goods ). It's just wooden boxes with doors on them

Amazing sq metre cost. Thanks for sharing. Will you bring doing a vid on your cabin house water treatment/black waste setup?

Could you go into running cost as well? Your honesty is admirable regarding the build and fit-out.

Thanks guys, a further video on funding would be good because I watch your videos with envy and disbelief as it feels so far away from where my family are financially at the moment. Wishing you all the best!

Really impressive build, well done, its been great to follow along. Do however keep in mind the 63k is a little misleading as labour should be around 1/2 to 2/3 of the cost to build.

Not considering the cabin as a holiday let or a AirBnB?

THE ROOF 😂😂

Very interesting and the future video on the stages to where you are now would be great 👍

Does the £617/m take into account your time

It all looks great! Great to see. Any chance you know the make/model of that kitchen tap? Couldn’t find the info in any old videos/posts (unless I’m being blind, which is v possible!). I like the look of it, and guessing it works well…and we need new taps in our kitchen & utility room!

Love the outtakes ! You two are a pair of grafters.

Weirdly, I had exactly the same issue with Blinds2Go. Bought two taped blinds and both were the wrong size. I had a large scale argument with them after they insisted they measure the recess-fit blinds without the end caps on (it was still larger than my measurements without them). I ended up getting a full refund and reordered blinds using the exact same measurements through 24/7 blinds and had no issues. Quality was better too!

Don't think you can complain about that at all... 50k is pretty standard for a 3 berth static ex trade where the finish is naff. Yours is closer to lodge level finish so don't think you'll have a problem selling it after the fact. Maybe with transport but sure you can sort that with the right buyer. If you start thinking of rent saving, 1k pm easy? If you sell it for 30k after 3 years that's a steal and you've broken even.

Really interesting guys - great value. What was the cost to complete the cladding? Surely that forms part of it 😂

Does that include having to pay for the chassis twice.. still very impressive

whilst you went over your budget building a house for £63k is a bargain. have you had it appraised for selling to see what you may get if you sold it?

Brilliant and all very well deserved to both of you and the extra child labour 😊

What is the length and width of your “cabin” (inside dimensions) in feet?

That is amazing value, well done to you both and friends who helped

Who's playing the uke?

Why not use it as a farm stay accommodation?

Great being dept free ....

Apologies if you covered this and I missed it, but was that inc or ex VAT? I’m wondering if you were able to reclaim it? Even if that figure is ex, and even accounting for the lack if a lot of labour costs, £600 p sq. m is really impressive. 👏🏻

Extra deep overhang on your roof on the south side will help with energy efficiency. In the summer when the sun is high in the sky the overhang keeps your house cool, but in the winter the sun is low in the horizon so the sun streams right in and keeps the house warmer.

Good value 👍

👊🫡

Love the break down but I have to ask how much did you make from RU-vid? Given it must take ages to film & edit it all whilst building plus how many freebies did you get because of it? sponsors etc as I hope people really could build something as beautiful as your cabin for 62k but they wouldn’t have the sponsors or any extra help, freebie tools etc.

How much have you made from RU-vid ??

Kitchen sounds dear! Did a similar kitchen for £1200 from B&Q including basic floor tiles. In case you feel like building another cabin 😂🙈

As nice as it is, me being tight would have bought a static caravan fitted a log burner in and made do for a few year. And put the money saved into you house build.
