This is so so much more refreshing than seeing copy and paste new builds being slapped everywhere. We have a disabled son, so an extension may be needed in the future for more ground floor space to avoid stairs and this has gave me some amazing ideas! Absolutely love it!
Hi Andre mate 🙏 Thank you so, so, so much for your lovely kind comment about our house extension and our home. TBH mate I think your right "Keyboard warriors" trying to project their negativity onto our happiness.... Access denied 🙅😂 Thanks again mate its real nice of you to take the time out to support me mate 🙏 Cheers
I don’t usually watch house renovations, but an interesting watch. You loving it is the most important thing and you sound chuffed with the outcome, so enjoy your new home!
Wow, thank you so much mate. We loved the extension and I really appreciate your comments pal it was a step out of my comfortzone talking over the videos,. 100% buzzing with our dream home pal. Thank you so much pal
As a new owner (not new build) with big plans to build an extension in the future, this video was perfect and so detailed. Thank you so much for sharing the process. And you have a beautiful home. I hope to one day follow in your footsteps
What an amazing comment mate, glad it was helpful. Extending your house is an amazing experiece mate, really really enjoyable but stressful at the same time pal. I wish you all the best with yours mate and thanks for the lovely comments 🙏
Wow, this looks lovely. Credit to your builders. Love that feature length window, that just looks the business from both indoors and outside. Looks nothing like an oversized garage 🙄 but a beautifully designed forever family home. Credit to the Mrs on her choice of interior design too. Job well done, wishing you many many years of happiness in your home pal, enjoy! 👍🏽🏠
Nice one Dwayne mate 🙏, so many great points there that I really appreciate & yep family home for life making many happy memories #blessed The "oversized garage" comment by someone else made me laugh, probably typing it from his bedroom, and trying to make himself happy by attempting to poor his negativity onto someone elses positivity. Honestly buzzing of this comment mate, just read it to the wife and she is like "awwwwww there is nice people out there" 👍 I wish you all the best at whatever you do pal, take care and stay positive 🙏
Lovely renovation mate. I love how spacious the kitchen is and how it seamlessly connected to other areas in the house. It looks like a lovely beach home and the plants is a nice touch. All the best
Personally im not a fan of extensions, i love the challenge of changing a floorplan (fully understand not as cost effective for resale) but this caught my eye, intrigued.
Wow, you wouldn’t think you’d fit that on your existing plot to begin with. It’s bloody massive, fantastic builders, great videos, love how chuffed you are with it. Oh and if you had a pound for every time you said the “wife” 😂 , nice one , enjoy your lovely home 👍🏻
Hi Adele 👋 Thank you so, so, so much for your lovely comment about our house extension 🏡 When we bought the house we had the vision of extending it due to the unusual end plot, its worked out better than we could imagine and we are very lucky to call this place home ❤️ Maybe some tinkering with interior walls for a better layout but all in all super happy and an experience of a lifetime. PS I say "wife" a lot but what I really mean is "the boss" 🤣 I'm a lucky man. Take care Adele and thank you for watching.
As an architect, I'm also glad you didn't get that extra metre done on the side, it was definitely a happy mistake. Otherwise, it definitely would have looked too big and out of proportion with the existing house! the scale definitely works really well as it is.
Yeah I know, we didnt know either it was at the rear of the house, then boooooom it came right into our attention 😂 All good now just shizzle you don't need and 100% can be avoided
Its great you guys love it so much. The kitchen looks like it hasnt been done yet though. Hiding appliances and adding trim to top and bottom of wall cabinets and a cohesive design go a long way. With really good design the kitchen could easily have had an island with seating and even more storage but would have looked less clutered and more stylish at the same time. But who cares, you guys love it and its exactly how you want it !!!
Sorry to hear that mate, I know its a bit hit and miss with builders etc. I was defo luky with mine. Yep driveway will be sometime soon, not sure but not in a mad rush yet. I may do a video on things to come in the next couple of years. Take care mate and stay safe thanks for watching
Thank you so, so, so much for your lovely comment. We absolutely love our house extension. Thank you gain for the lovely message and watching too, take care 🙏
Love watching make over videos like this one. This is amazing job looks really nice, and your right with that type of marble pictures and videos of don't do it justice, I know because I have this myself in my property, It is really gorgeous in person. Did you say you painted the windows? if so wont the paint fade over time?
Thank tyou mate we love the house extension TBH. Windows: Yeah we sprayed them, more of a temporary measure really but TBH 3 years down the line and zero issue. We will replace them if/ when they fade
I love your extension and can see you're si thrilled with it. However the only small change I would make is the upstairs full length window should be able to open. You'd appreciate it during the hot summer months getting some airflow, through, but it's a small design point. I can't get over how grand it looks
Thank you mate 🙏 We love our house extension TBH so thank you. Your attention to detail is awesome and your right, it is something I would change. Would love the top 2 panels to open 🏡
Great build mate, will add a lot of value. I’d have been tempted to go that extra meter wider, give yaself more room in bedroom and kitchen for an island. But that’s personal preference 😊
Cheers mate super appreciate it, we love it. TBH that metre did my head in for a long time. If I could go back I would have fought harder in a legal way to get it. But TBH its all good and now it as the bins there, my ice bath and a little shed (for when I have been naughty 😏 Oh and we are going to add a little home made island too Cheer mate
Hi Johnny. Congratulations for transforming your house to beautiful spacious home. Is it possible to share the details of the builder, so people can benefit from the tried and trusted builder. Thank you for putting extreme efforts to record and share every stage of the building work. Kind regards 😊
Cheers mate thank you so much for the lovely comments and we love it. Builder wants nothing to do with this mate. He is super happy with his work flow mate. If he changes his mind I’d 💯 pop him in. He is just a happy fella doing what he loves and has a bloody waiting list can you believe haha

Great video, I am currently 2months in to a 6month triple storey extension and remodel. I’d be very interested to know costs of your extension, I saw another comment that you wouldn’t post as costs change, but I do think its content many would be interested in (particularly me!) but it’s your personal finances so your choice to disclose or not 😊. It looks great, I’ve moved out of the property, so congrats to you for doing it while living there! Thank you for the video 👍🏽
Cheers mate thank you so much and good luck with your house extension mate. Take a lot of pics and videos. I’m not sharing how much it cost due to it potentially being misleading due to location, build, time, materials etc etc. there is so much to it mate
Cheers for comment on our house extension mate. 💯 kitchen location could be better. Stair case is on external wall so hard mate, but I would loveeeee a wider staircase. Thanks for the great comment on our little dream house 🏡 take care
HI Gina, thank you so much 🙏 It has got a down stairs toilet just behind the front door on the right (part of existing build area). Couldnt live without it. Yep I agree would love a tiny room somewhere to stick the dryer and washer, ideas loading but very slowly hahah. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so mcuh we loved the extension and the video was a step out of my comfort zone so nice comments like this are massive to me thank you.
Hi Johnny thanks for an amazing video and congrats on the house! Quick question - did you paint your upvc windows on the original part of the house black or did you buy new windows?
Hi pal thanks we love our house extension so thank you. We sprayed them as a temp measure with vision of updating them in few years, but tBH they are doing fine
Omg it's beautiful it's a dream home to have it just one suggestion change those 2 doors in the entrance and put the latest designs those are old designs same witj handles hope you don't mind is just i think doesn't suit with modern house God bless your home 😊
The construction of your home is truly remarkable, and its aesthetic appeal is absolutely stunning. Your commentary throughout the video was impeccable, and the comment "Monster in law" had me in stitches 😂 😂
Cheers Martin mate, we love the extension it really made the house. And yep the garden is next on the list mate. Some decking, garden office etc but funds and time dependant. Thanks pal
@@osmankhan8985 💯 knock through and dust mate. When the builders come into your living environment the game changes. Fortunately I loved my builders so it was like an extended family but if I didn’t like them it would be a different story mate
Looks amazing mate love the double glass front. You mentioned the carpet man was a nugget but I didn’t catch why as you said you had already said, what happened?
Hi pal and thank you for the kind comment on our house extension. It’s more that everyone working on the build was top quality. Carpet fitter wasn’t a big issue he was just a plant pot talking about how tough he is, how he is the best carpet fitter in the north and how he should be tipped for his work. Nothing massive just a straight up nugget
Awesome build mate, jealous comments to be expected, and have these people completed their own extensions, the plans the problems, the costs, the neighbours etc, just at the end of my own double extension and open plan kitchen, the entrance is into the utility, my washing machine looks great too, this is where the kids, dogs etc enter the house, would I have them enter straight into my new kitchen, hell no 😂 And love the pond, also have a koi pond myself 👌
Amen to that brother 🙏 I have to expect the haters but TBH they do amuse me sometimes. LIke you say they wont have done their own house extension and they are missing the point. Glad I have a fellow washing machine lover on here 🤣 PS That definitely reads so wrong but made me laugh. Glad your at the end mate, hope all went welll and it takes time to come down after all the work and learn to relax after such a huge home development like that. Take care mate and thanks for the great comment
💬YOU GOT US THINKING 🧐Some of the feedback has made us think about the bottom floor layout (as seen 00:44 into the video). It could be better, especially as the boys get older and more noisier 🤫 We have an idea of what to do to make better use of it, but we think some of you guys may have better ideas. Therefore if you fancy a challenge, have any idea please feel free to draw them up using the outline from 00:44 into the video and pop them across to us. Either on instagram @koifishjohnny or my email koifishjohnny@outlook.com, If the email is removed it is avaliable by clicking on my channel- expand the about using the > below my name, subs, etc- then select email. I only check my emails occasionally so please be patient. Enjoy. PS this update wont be completed any time soon as we will need to save up AGAIN 😬
Thank you so much pal, really really really appreciate that. It was one hell of a journey doing the extensions but buzzing with the house now. Thanks again and take care 🙏
Thanks Liz 🙏 never really had a utility room in my life (small council houses) but now I have room for one it’s defo on the cards. Going to rework the ground layout
Looks really nice mate honestly the overall design and build looks great. There’s only two things I would’ve changed in the design phase; would’ve been for the extension to be in line with the existing property, only because it would’ve made the entrance bigger instead of being hit with that wall as you open the front door (wall on left). The other thing is a utility room, personal preference but laundry in a kitchen always irritated me, probably growing up and having cooking smells clinging to your clothes.
Hi mate thanks for your nice comment about our house extension. I love your comments and agree but one first point, part of the planning permission stated this " The extension needs to be submissive to the existing build and be 1m back from the front wall" I was gutted and tried to fight it. 2nd point 100% right we defo should have created a utility room, your bang on mate. Thanks for watching and hope you enjoyed it
@@koifishjohnny Really enjoyed it mate, I’ve been watching that BBC series of Your Home Made Perfect. This video really was no different except it isn’t made for tv via production. Funny enough, I felt that might have been the case with the planning, I’m assuming part of it is how close the property is to the public boundary, honestly at least you made it as comfortable as you could! As for the utility room, it can always be added at a later date by clever configuration. Main thing is you and your family enjoy it, sometimes as humans our biggest downside is we’re never 100% satisfied with anything haha
@@JackDaniels-up5wn amen to that brother. Appreciate the support and kind comments. Your home made perfect is brilliant 🤩 we are going try and reconfigure ground floor layout at some point. Take care pal
Great video, but it's completely pointless not tell to us the cost and the building company you used. We are all aware that there are different costs across the country but this key bit of info will help many.
Like you're saying thanks for the helpful video but it hasn't helped me enough 🥹😭👶 I think you actually mean "Pointless to YOU" 🫵 At no point do I say I will share costs, it's a video to share an insight into the process of doing a house extension as a newbie, and help people understand what may lie ahead if considering a home extension in the UK 🏡 🇬🇧 Not to calculate prices, otherwise the title would say "How much it cost to build my my extension in the UK" 💸
@@marcelwallace6679 WOW man you must be a mega rockstar cool dude or maybe just a keyboard warrior loaded full of insecurities and trying to project your negativity on to me 🤔 I'm happy with my house, happy with my pond, happy with my life and I hope your happy with your keyboard and your monopoly money 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 PS I was having a bland day but your messages and replies have really made me lol a lot, you're funny
Great extension jonny, the roof tile on the porch are they the same as the main roof. Looking at your neighbours they looked different so was that part of planning application. Please could you dm you builders details as planning for extension myself in Manchester.
Hi mate no issue changing the roof slates mate. They were different to what we have. The neighbour is the only one in the neighbourhood with similar tiles pal. Sorry builder wants nothing to do with this pal, he is super happy and settled with his work flow mate. Sorry about that
HI pal, it was discussed with planning TBH and I cant quite remember but there was a adjustment we had to do, because i didnt want the door as it ruined the flow. I cant remember if it was the heat detectors or not.
Looks fantastic mate ! overall how big was the floor area of the extension? Is it about as big as a garage? I'm thinking of knocking through an attached garage.
Hi pal thanks for your kind comments about our home extension. If you loook on the video you can see where the garage was in relation to width. The width from the external wall is 4m out. So just a bit larger than the inside of a garage I think. Length wise it is longer about 8m long from the back of the extension side to the front window. Cheers pal and good look with extending your home.
Thank you very much, no we didn't but we should have considered a utility room. We did it over 2 years but had a break between the single storey and double storey.
@@koifishjohnny thats such a long time living on site with construction going on - especially with young family. Well done! Definately looks worth it (and makes sense financially). Wish i had what it requires to pull the trigger in my extention thats sitting in my head.
Cheers Sharpey mate it was one hell of a journey mate, but TBH I absolutely loved it, mainly caused I had huge trust and belief in my builder mate. That step is so imprtant in your extension, trust your gut. We have paused the en suite mate and probably going to do it this year TBH as the wife keeps moaning at me and it too far to walk for me in the middle of the night for a pee (Too much info but hope it made you laugh 🤭
@koifishjohnny can I ask , the two rooms joined on to the new bedroom, what size are they? This is how we doing ours with one being an en suite the other a wardrobe
Great build, loved the video👍👍👍 Did you ever consider building out the right hand side just to give it a bit more symmetry (obviously this may have been a budgetary issue)…
Hey, Thank you so much we love our house extension it has made it a home for life now. We extended out 4m to the side set back by 1m from existing to ensure the house extension side was "submissive" to the existing house. Thanks 🙏
Something I think about everyday mate but no because it doesn’t matter, it’s our family home for life so only matters that we can afford it pal. Thanks for watching us build our little dream house and being nice mate 🙏
@@darrenmackenzie1892 sex mainly 😂😂😂😂😂 Honestly I would just say if you are doing the extension as a husband and wife, stay on the same team and keep communication high. And no1 thing is get a Good builder 👷 💯
Cheers pal and yeah I tried to make it as smooth as possible but walking round the building site was hard. Tried to smooth it out and stabilise it, get the steps out and it went funny. Glad you enjoyed our house extension though mate
Ok but can you tell us how much your cost i just got single story with attch bathroom amd shower and font porge don wiht bathroom roon every think cost me around 100k.
Hi pal, thanks for your kind comments on our house extension in the uk Warrington area. I don’t share costs mate as it can be misleading. Due to area, plots, covid costs, other random variables 👍
Hi mate, I wouldn't like to say and thats why I left it out the video. Reason being it depends on so many things like location, covid/ no covid (this affected us), specifics of job, type of ground, etc etc so I feel if I shared my cost it has the potential to mislead people. My advice is to follow the "find a good builder video I did" (link below) then work out the average based on your job pal. czcams.com/video/XwCsJun_0C4/video.html
Hi mate thank you so much. It was an experience and we are very happy with it. We did it in stages but if I was to combine it I’d say 10 months ish in total
Hi Pal, I do not share the cost of the extension due to having so many variables that affect pricing mate, like location, covid hikes in prices, etc etc. Get 5 quotes is my advise
Johnny this is probably, if not the best, documented vid on an extention. Love what you have done with the whole thing and you should be bery proud mate. I laugh my male chicken off at the parasites who use their time to express their jealousy out on you..... Sad sad people...... Well don mate and keep the great work 👍
Mate I love this comment about our hosue extension its made my day. I love the way you got your point over and I 100% agree mate, thank you so so so much for the supportive, funny asnd great comment. Made my day 🙏
Looks like an oversized garage. Horrible design. Enter the house, and you're faced with a washing machine. U should have invested in a good designer, and if you did, then you should sue him/her.
Thanks for telling me what I should have done in such a lovely way 😂 Your useless negative opinion is beyond funny, which quite frankly made me laugh my head off 😂 PS I absolutely love my washing machine and spend many a night gazing at its beauty, so I wanted it to be celebrated and Im over the moon you noticed 🌙

Absolutely agree, kitchen is in wrong place. Should be at the back close to the table . Long way to walk with plates and food to/from the kitchen . Shame because it costs lots of many to do a extension should be right . I would asue the arquitect.

Cheers mate thank you so much and good luck with your house extension mate. Take a lot of pics and videos. I’m not sharing how much it cost due to it potentially being misleading due to location, build, time, materials etc etc. there is so much to it mate
Very awesome, I would have widened the staircase. I'm not so sure about the kitchen location, but whatever. Still great, good videoing
Cheers for comment on our house extension mate. 💯 kitchen location could be better. Stair case is on external wall so hard mate, but I would loveeeee a wider staircase. Thanks for the great comment on our little dream house 🏡 take care
Nice the only thing I would of done is put in a downstairs toilet and utility room....really like the outside....!
HI Gina, thank you so much 🙏 It has got a down stairs toilet just behind the front door on the right (part of existing build area). Couldnt live without it.
Yep I agree would love a tiny room somewhere to stick the dryer and washer, ideas loading but very slowly hahah. Thank you
Enjoyed watching that. Amazing!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so mcuh we loved the extension and the video was a step out of my comfort zone so nice comments like this are massive to me thank you.
Hi Johnny thanks for an amazing video and congrats on the house! Quick question - did you paint your upvc windows on the original part of the house black or did you buy new windows?
Hi pal thanks we love our house extension so thank you. We sprayed them as a temp measure with vision of updating them in few years, but tBH they are doing fine
Omg it's beautiful it's a dream home to have it just one suggestion change those 2 doors in the entrance and put the latest designs those are old designs same witj handles hope you don't mind is just i think doesn't suit with modern house God bless your home 😊
Great idea!! TBH we are thinking of reworking the bottom floor in the future. Thanks for your lovely comment mate 🙏
The construction of your home is truly remarkable, and its aesthetic appeal is absolutely stunning. Your commentary throughout the video was impeccable, and the comment "Monster in law" had me in stitches 😂 😂
Mate thank you so so so much. Buzzing with this comment mate and she is indeed a monster 👿 in law 😂 love her though 😜
Take care and thanks 🙏
Great job well done looking the bees knees Johnny. Garden next then? 😂
Cheers Martin mate, we love the extension it really made the house. And yep the garden is next on the list mate. Some decking, garden office etc but funds and time dependant. Thanks pal
Beautiful home mate, well done.
Thank you! Cheers mate we love our little dream house extension. Thanks for the lovely comment
Very Very Impressed with that mate.. 😉👍
Cheers mate much appreciated 😁 it was one hell of a journey TBH and we absolutely love it ❤️
New sub! The outside looks amazing and you’ve made huge transformation congrats!
Thanks for subbing mate and thanks for your great comments on the house pal. We absolutely love it . Thank you pal and take care 🙏
@@koifishjohnny Also what was the hardest part of the renovation?
@@osmankhan8985 💯 knock through and dust mate. When the builders come into your living environment the game changes. Fortunately I loved my builders so it was like an extended family but if I didn’t like them it would be a different story mate
@@koifishjohnny Wow, thanks for telling me!
Great job here so much space
Cheers mate and yeah loads of it haha 😜 thanks for watching pal
Looks amazing mate love the double glass front. You mentioned the carpet man was a nugget but I didn’t catch why as you said you had already said, what happened?
Hi pal and thank you for the kind comment on our house extension.
It’s more that everyone working on the build was top quality. Carpet fitter wasn’t a big issue he was just a plant pot talking about how tough he is, how he is the best carpet fitter in the north and how he should be tipped for his work. Nothing massive just a straight up nugget
@@koifishjohnny he sounds like a right 🔔 end lol but thanks for the reply, hope all is well
Awesome build mate, jealous comments to be expected, and have these people completed their own extensions, the plans the problems, the costs, the neighbours etc, just at the end of my own double extension and open plan kitchen, the entrance is into the utility, my washing machine looks great too, this is where the kids, dogs etc enter the house, would I have them enter straight into my new kitchen, hell no 😂
And love the pond, also have a koi pond myself 👌
Amen to that brother 🙏 I have to expect the haters but TBH they do amuse me sometimes. LIke you say they wont have done their own house extension and they are missing the point.
Glad I have a fellow washing machine lover on here 🤣 PS That definitely reads so wrong but made me laugh.
Glad your at the end mate, hope all went welll and it takes time to come down after all the work and learn to relax after such a huge home development like that. Take care mate and thanks for the great comment
💬YOU GOT US THINKING 🧐Some of the feedback has made us think about the bottom floor layout (as seen 00:44 into the video). It could be better, especially as the boys get older and more noisier 🤫 We have an idea of what to do to make better use of it, but we think some of you guys may have better ideas.
Therefore if you fancy a challenge, have any idea please feel free to draw them up using the outline from 00:44 into the video and pop them across to us.
Either on instagram @koifishjohnny or my email koifishjohnny@outlook.com,
If the email is removed it is avaliable by clicking on my channel- expand the about using the > below my name, subs, etc- then select email.
I only check my emails occasionally so please be patient.
Enjoy.
PS this update wont be completed any time soon as we will need to save up AGAIN 😬
Wow looks amazing…. Well done 👏 great video btw very detailed
Thank you so much pal, really really really appreciate that. It was one hell of a journey doing the extensions but buzzing with the house now. Thanks again and take care 🙏
I love this transformation BUT No separate utility room?!! You got to be kidding! 😮
Thanks Liz 🙏 never really had a utility room in my life (small council houses) but now I have room for one it’s defo on the cards. Going to rework the ground layout
@@koifishjohnny trust me! Once you have a utility room you’ll never regret it! X
@@lizswakeupwithmakeup98 thanks Liz it’s on the list 🙏
Looks really nice mate honestly the overall design and build looks great.
There’s only two things I would’ve changed in the design phase; would’ve been for the extension to be in line with the existing property, only because it would’ve made the entrance bigger instead of being hit with that wall as you open the front door (wall on left).
The other thing is a utility room, personal preference but laundry in a kitchen always irritated me, probably growing up and having cooking smells clinging to your clothes.
Hi mate thanks for your nice comment about our house extension. I love your comments and agree but one first point, part of the planning permission stated this " The extension needs to be submissive to the existing build and be 1m back from the front wall" I was gutted and tried to fight it.
2nd point 100% right we defo should have created a utility room, your bang on mate. Thanks for watching and hope you enjoyed it
@@koifishjohnny Really enjoyed it mate, I’ve been watching that BBC series of Your Home Made Perfect.
This video really was no different except it isn’t made for tv via production.
Funny enough, I felt that might have been the case with the planning, I’m assuming part of it is how close the property is to the public boundary, honestly at least you made it as comfortable as you could!
As for the utility room, it can always be added at a later date by clever configuration.
Main thing is you and your family enjoy it, sometimes as humans our biggest downside is we’re never 100% satisfied with anything haha
@@JackDaniels-up5wn amen to that brother. Appreciate the support and kind comments. Your home made perfect is brilliant 🤩 we are going try and reconfigure ground floor layout at some point. Take care pal
Great work, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching and thank you for your great comment on our house extension. Take care mate and have a great day
Here from the Chatabix podcast
That’s nice mate but what does it have to do with my house extension video? 👀
@koifishjohnny David Earl gave you a shout out because he watched your video and enjoyed it 🤷♀️
@@PureAndShrimple wowwwww thats mega mate, I love that thanks for letting me know your a star ⭐
nice video and it's a really good job the house is gorgeous
Thank you so so so much, it was an amazing journey extending our house into our little dream home 🏡 Thank you for your lovely comment
Great video, but it's completely pointless not tell to us the cost and the building company you used.
We are all aware that there are different costs across the country but this key bit of info will help many.
Like you're saying thanks for the helpful video but it hasn't helped me enough 🥹😭👶
I think you actually mean "Pointless to YOU" 🫵
At no point do I say I will share costs, it's a video to share an insight into the process of doing a house extension as a newbie, and help people understand what may lie ahead if considering a home extension in the UK 🏡 🇬🇧
Not to calculate prices, otherwise the title would say "How much it cost to build my my extension in the UK" 💸
@koifishjohnny go play with your fish 🐟 , instead of editing a reply to me, little man
@@marcelwallace6679 editing for punctuation. Good luck extending your mums house bedroom 😂😂😂😂😂
@@koifishjohnny fish boy, with your cheap ass new build. I could buy 4 of yours with mine as it is 😎
@@marcelwallace6679 WOW man you must be a mega rockstar cool dude or maybe just a keyboard warrior loaded full of insecurities and trying to project your negativity on to me 🤔

PS I was having a bland day but your messages and replies have really made me lol a lot, you're funny
Well done mate
Cheers pal we love the house extension so thank you
Looks unreal!
Cheers mate, it was an amazing journey extending our house. Thank you so much pal
Great extension jonny, the roof tile on the porch are they the same as the main roof. Looking at your neighbours they looked different so was that part of planning application. Please could you dm you builders details as planning for extension myself in Manchester.
Hi mate no issue changing the roof slates mate. They were different to what we have. The neighbour is the only one in the neighbourhood with similar tiles pal. Sorry builder wants nothing to do with this pal, he is super happy and settled with his work flow mate. Sorry about that
Looks good, Did you not need a door on the kitchen? We had the same and building regs made us put one on!!
HI pal, it was discussed with planning TBH and I cant quite remember but there was a adjustment we had to do, because i didnt want the door as it ruined the flow. I cant remember if it was the heat detectors or not.
@@koifishjohnny thanks, yeah we are in the same position, looks much better without.
Looks fantastic mate ! overall how big was the floor area of the extension? Is it about as big as a garage? I'm thinking of knocking through an attached garage.
Hi pal thanks for your kind comments about our home extension.
If you loook on the video you can see where the garage was in relation to width. The width from the external wall is 4m out. So just a bit larger than the inside of a garage I think. Length wise it is longer about 8m long from the back of the extension side to the front window.
Cheers pal and good look with extending your home.
Looks amazing enjoy your new home
Thank you Carol ❤️ We love it the extension really changed the house. Thank you ☺️
Looks fab! Thats such a big space added!
Did you consider a utility room?
How long did the build take start to finish?
Thank you very much, no we didn't but we should have considered a utility room. We did it over 2 years but had a break between the single storey and double storey.
@@koifishjohnny thats such a long time living on site with construction going on - especially with young family. Well done! Definately looks worth it (and makes sense financially). Wish i had what it requires to pull the trigger in my extention thats sitting in my head.
@@rinakaur7245 my advice is get it started and take it step by step it’s a journey and a half 🙏
Great man !
Thanks mate 👍👍👍👍👍
Looks amazing 🎉 . I bet it costs a lot .
Thanks for your kind comment on our dream house extension. It did cost quite a lot yes, but we will probably live here forever mate
nice mate. massive transformation. i cant wait until mine is underway . did you have en suite put in upstairs next to new bedroom?
Cheers Sharpey mate it was one hell of a journey mate, but TBH I absolutely loved it, mainly caused I had huge trust and belief in my builder mate. That step is so imprtant in your extension, trust your gut.
We have paused the en suite mate and probably going to do it this year TBH as the wife keeps moaning at me and it too far to walk for me in the middle of the night for a pee (Too much info but hope it made you laugh 🤭
@koifishjohnny can I ask , the two rooms joined on to the new bedroom, what size are they? This is how we doing ours with one being an en suite the other a wardrobe
That was exactly what ours was/ is going to be mate, except mine ois an office ATM. About 2m wide by 3m long mate
I’m buying a very similar house. Can I ask what the width footage the bedroom is? Thanks 😊
Hi thanks we love our extension. No idea really on the footage of the new bedroom but the room is 4m wide by about 6m, hope this helps
I understand that washing mach comment.
What that I love them, I joke I do too tbh and looking to re jiggle things around in future nate
Great build, loved the video👍👍👍 Did you ever consider building out the right hand side just to give it a bit more symmetry (obviously this may have been a budgetary issue)…
Hi pal no I like it how it is but may have encountered planning issues if double sided both sides. 🙏
Great work. Would you be willing to share the details of your builders? Give them a shout out or something?
No mate he doesn't want the exposure and super happy with work flow, if that ever changes I will have his details in description
Absolutely stunning! Congratulations😍 How far did you extend out for the double storey?
Hey, Thank you so much we love our house extension it has made it a home for life now. We extended out 4m to the side set back by 1m from existing to ensure the house extension side was "submissive" to the existing house. Thanks 🙏
@@koifishjohnny thank you for answering! I’ve screenshotted for inspo😍 I don’t blame you, its amazing!
@@ItsMyshh thanks 👌 good luck with everything and take care 🙏
Awesome project. Have you had a valuation ?
Something I think about everyday mate but no because it doesn’t matter, it’s our family home for life so only matters that we can afford it pal. Thanks for watching us build our little dream house and being nice mate 🙏
The outside is beautiful. Inside is designed like a hmo though.
Thanks we love our house extension tbh the inside layout could be better and we are looking at changing this in future
Any tips to low the stress levels when this was happening
@@darrenmackenzie1892 sex mainly 😂😂😂😂😂
Honestly I would just say if you are doing the extension as a husband and wife, stay on the same team and keep communication high. And no1 thing is get a Good builder 👷 💯
you are a man in love!
I am indeed my friend. Thank you for noticing 🙏❤️
Got some motion sickness from watching this lol great extension nevertheless
Cheers pal and yeah I tried to make it as smooth as possible but walking round the building site was hard. Tried to smooth it out and stabilise it, get the steps out and it went funny. Glad you enjoyed our house extension though mate
It look nice just want to know how much the full house extensions cost.
Thanks, I dont share pricing due to it changing a lot depeending on location, cost rises, build specific costs and I just dont want to mislead anyone.
Ok but can you tell us how much your cost i just got single story with attch bathroom amd shower and font porge don wiht bathroom roon every think cost me around 100k.
Looking great . How much did it cost and which city are you located in
Hi pal, thanks for your kind comments on our house extension in the uk Warrington area.
I don’t share costs mate as it can be misleading. Due to area, plots, covid costs, other random variables 👍
@koifishjohnny how much did yours cost,of course every extension is different.
Looking 👍
How much did this extension cost ? We are in the process of doing something similar
Hi mate, I wouldn't like to say and thats why I left it out the video.
Reason being it depends on so many things like location, covid/ no covid (this affected us), specifics of job, type of ground, etc etc so I feel if I shared my cost it has the potential to mislead people.
My advice is to follow the "find a good builder video I did" (link below) then work out the average based on your job pal.
czcams.com/video/XwCsJun_0C4/video.html
Amazing job, you both must be very thrilled with the end result. Not sure if you said in the video, but how long did this take from start to finish?
Hi mate thank you so much. It was an experience and we are very happy with it. We did it in stages but if I was to combine it I’d say 10 months ish in total
what was the rough cost of this please?
Hi sorry I forgot to not share the cost of my house extension in the uk 🇬🇧
@koifishjohnny how much did this cost I’m planning on doing something similar in the near future
Hi Pal, I do not share the cost of the extension due to having so many variables that affect pricing mate, like location, covid hikes in prices, etc etc. Get 5 quotes is my advise
Looks good apart from the McDonald's entry way
Mate that’s belting 👍🙏 I se to work at McDonald’s and I’m trying to relive my teenage years. Brilliant mate, I’m loving it 🥰
It looks nice however, one final observation where do you park car number 2 now?! Don’t tell me on the pavement!
Good point mate, we only have one car as that’s all we need. Current drive can squeeze 2 on. But plan is to take the drive across the front eventually
Cok güzel
Thank you 🇹🇷
How much did it cost 😮
I dont share the cost of the house extension sorry
Johnny this is probably, if not the best, documented vid on an extention. Love what you have done with the whole thing and you should be bery proud mate. I laugh my male chicken off at the parasites who use their time to express their jealousy out on you..... Sad sad people...... Well don mate and keep the great work 👍
Mate I love this comment about our hosue extension its made my day. I love the way you got your point over and I 100% agree mate, thank you so so so much for the supportive, funny asnd great comment. Made my day 🙏
No way you will make your money bk on the amount you would of spend in doing that.. great video and big family home
Cheers mate, it’s a fair point but tbh we ain’t interested in losses or gains. More focused on home for life if you know what I mean. Thanks pal
How much did it cost in total and time spent?
I don’t share cost, 9 months
Wouldn't it have been easier to move?!
😂😂😂😂 💯 it would have been mate. Easier isn’t always better though and we really love our house extension now mate
Nice extension etc but seems a lot of wasted spaces.
Cheers mate, I agree we love the house extension but down stairs layout could be better 100%
Did you film this with jelly?
?
The footage is all wobbly like it was filmed underwater. Made me feel sick 😂 had to switch it off.
@@LaraAmelia7 awwwwe well I hope you have recovered 🌊
👍
Cheer pal 👍
Why is the camera so crap!
Because it was recorded on my old phone. We didn’t intend on sharing the house extension, we just filmed as we went
@@koifishjohnny ah fair enough, good video either way!
Glad you like it but it’s an awful layout and design. How the hell do you afford to fund it? Must be up to your eyes it debt 😳
Love the design, layout could be better. Funding from hard work and planning but thanks for the concern 🙏
Not much of a kitchen for the size of the house x
It’s actually bigger than it looks 😂 plus we adding an island 🏝️ at some point. But I know what you mean, keep an eye out for the video on Friday 🙏
Looks like an oversized garage. Horrible design. Enter the house, and you're faced with a washing machine. U should have invested in a good designer, and if you did, then you should sue him/her.
Thanks for telling me what I should have done in such a lovely way 😂 Your useless negative opinion is beyond funny, which quite frankly made me laugh my head off 😂
