Join us in this exciting behind-the-scenes adventure as we team up to tackle a crucial home improvement project! In collaboration with the renowned YouTuber, Keith from @RagnBoneBrown , we took on the challenge of building a brand new soakaway for his rainwater runoff issues.
With limited access, we used a JCB micro digger to excavate a sizeable hole for the soakaway crates. The process involved careful pipework installation, stabilizing the dig with metal ramps and structural ply, and layering the soakaway crates with pea shingle and geotextile fabric. Keith's main video provides an in-depth look at the project, while our video offers a unique perspective on the teamwork and DIY approach that went into making it happen.

About me:
I'm Aiden and I'm documenting what was supposed to be my barn conversion, which has now ended up being a new build. I don't have a trade, I just have a go and I'll be doing lots of work myself. This is the boring bit in grand designs that you don't get to see. Subscribe and follow along to find out how our future home turns out.
