Welcome back to Mark Fixes Stuff and Part 2 of the garden cabin build in sunny Hampshire. This episode is full of stuffing, sweat, and hopeful enthusiasm as we turn a pile of timber into a proper creative workshop and future home of the channel.
Seth from instagram.com/theryehandyman is doing the real work while I nobly “supervise” and occasionally hold something wrong. We’re insulating the walls, fitting plasterboard, battling the ceiling, sanding until everything looks like it's covered in budget muesli, and finishing it all with a fresh coat of brilliant white paint ready for filming.
This workshop build is a huge step forward (and massive financial risk) for the channel. Every frame of future retro tech videos, every repair, and every bit of nostalgia will come from this cabin once it’s done. If you would like to help make that happen, please consider supporting the build and helping pay for materials (and Seth’s donut addiction) here:
👉 gofund.me/d4df7af40
Even small donations make a massive difference and help keep the project alive.
Patrons already get early ad free access, behind the scenes updates and our exclusive Discord where I am lovingly bullied into answering questions. You can join them here:
👉 patreon.com/markfixesstuff
What you’ll see in this episode:
• Installing wall insulation and plasterboard panels
• Ceiling boarding, filling and sanding
• Painting with Brilliant White for a bright filming space
• Wiring prep for lighting and power circuits
• Windows and interior finishing as the cabin finally takes shape
Safety and standards: ⚡⚡⚡
All electrical work follows Part P and the 18th edition regulations. Please always use a qualified electrician for final connections. And no, Pritt Stick is still not an acceptable fixing method, however confidently I claim otherwise.
If you are new here, I restore and repair retro technology, consoles and computers from the 70s, 80s 90s and beyond. This cabin is the foundation for all the future Mark Fixes Stuff videos, so your support helps bring more nostalgia and repairs to life. Subscribe and join us for the next episode when we tackle the floor, cladding skirt and electrics and steps (5-6-7-8).
Thank you for watching, sharing and supporting. Every view, like and donation keeps this build and the channel moving forward.
