    Loved this Dan! Exactly what I am looking to do, so thanks for posting.
    The video is very much in the style of John Wilson, which I loved, very true to life.

    Pls can you confirm this conversion into a habitable room does not require planning permission.

      Hi my council advised me that it doesn't need planning and i had them send me a written letter confirming this.

    Amazing stuff Dan! Really enjoyable watch. Just about to start on my own garage conversion, much smaller scale however. Would you recommend starting with the flooring first or should are the stud walls always the best starting step?

      Thank you... Interesting question, im a diy master and everything i do is researched first as im not a professional. Maybe ypu could start with the flooring, i wanted to get my flooring to the hight of my door opening so i waited till the opening was knocked through before raising the floor

      ⁠​⁠@@diydan1394fellow DIYer here also! I appreciate your thoughts. I think I’ll start with walls as there’s a concrete slab below for me to secure a wall plate onto. Did you consider installing a vapour barrier after the insulation went up or do you have a warm roof?

    No drainage or cill on the bifolds. Threshold screws not siliconed in. Lintel screws not siliconed In. Be lucky if you don't get a leak.

      Hi anyone fitting a bifold... Do the above 😬... Although we have had some of the worse rain over the last 6 months and iv had no leaks at all, i thought if water entered the threshold it ran through drain holes out the bottom onto the plastic membrane iv installed under the whole door? This membrane is siliconed all the way across on the inside so any water drains away into the ground away from the bricks. There's no need to silicone the jams and Intel screws as this is all sealed from the weather with a bead of silicon arround the door exterior. All water tight 😊

      Should be fine then but a few tips-
      Depending what silicone you have used, most of it is not designed to he submerged in water. (If water is constantly sat on silicone then it will eventually break down)
      You have basically created a cill with the membrane.
      Won't pass building regs but the officer probably won't even know himself 😂
      Lintel and bricks above the lintel- bricks and mortar are porous, any water that gets in will drip down the back face of the bricks and on to the lintel and back out, so the fixing holes in the lintel will also act as a water outlet into your room, unless sealed (we usually dip the screw into the silicone nozzle before driving it home)
      Nothing to do with the perimeter.
      Jambs don't need sealing, correct.
