Saving an ABANDONED Workshop Project Left by DODGY Builders!

After months of work restoring a 200-year-old oak barn, this project moves on to the garage and workshop next door.

Originally left unfinished and unsafe for more than two years by previous builders, this building quickly proves to be more than just a simple outbuilding. As work begins, it becomes clear that significant issues need addressing before it can become what it was always meant to be — a reliable, hard-working workshop, built to the same standards as the barn beside it.

This episode focuses on stripping back poor workmanship, correcting structural problems, and rebuilding with intent. From setting the foundations for long-term strength to introducing high-quality materials and traditional details, the aim is simple: to create a space that works day in, day out, and sits proudly as the barn’s “little brother.”

With winter conditions closing in and progress continuing despite the challenges, this chapter marks an important step in turning a compromised structure into something solid, functional, and built to last.

There’s plenty more to come as the workshop continues to take shape. If you’ve enjoyed this episode, make sure to check out the rest of the series and subscribe so you don’t miss what happens next.
