Building my own house has been the biggest challenge of my life… and today I’m showing you where things really stand. From reinforcing the block and beam floor for the bath I want, to replacing blown glass, to re-digging trenches for home battery storage — there’s been a lot going on behind the scenes.
✅ The problems I’ve had to solve
✅ The progress you haven’t seen
✅ What has to happen next before the build can continue
Thanks for sticking with The Aiden Project — I’m not giving up on this build any time soon!

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.
