Neil's painting studio and teaching space

Garden Studio

Artist Neil Burley moved into his new garden studio and immediately began planning small teaching groups in the space.


Neil's painting studio and teaching space

Neil Burley was thrilled with his newly completed garden studio, writing in to share the news as soon as he had moved in: “I’ve just finished moving into the studio, and I am writing to say how fantastic it is!”

He praised both the construction team and the designers, Alex and Brian, for the quality of the finished space.

With the studio complete, Neil was eager to start teaching small groups there — and there was already considerable interest in the classes he planned to run from his new dedicated creative space.

i'm here with neil and alex and uh neil's actually installed what do you call it a water well it's my waste management system um because i've got drainage issues and running it down was going to be too expensive so i solved it the hose is a hose lock ultimate hose which has a 30 year guarantee it's meant to be frost proof very flexible and perfect for the job it's almost food quality i'm not going to drink from it though um and then for the waste water i've run it into this waste carrier which is normally used for caravans so this is the waste part of it yes so it's a waste master or you could use an aqua roll uh they're about 50 pounds from caravan shops i got this on ebay for 25 quid right so what i was quoted 3 000 pounds to do i've done for 125 right okay that's fantastic is and how easy is that to empty and where do you empty it it's um this one's a 40 liter one so it's fairly heavy but we'll roll okay down the path i've got an outside drain and the combination of emptying i use this one to fill the caps go on start emptying it use the top one so that it doesn't glug uh so the air can go in at the top all right and then once it's um almost empty i can use this one right on the base right to fully empty it into the drain could you show us the inside unit is that what was that the inside unit yeah i can show you the the heating system i've set up so it's it's hot water as well then yes wow yeah i thought i presumed it was just a cold water supply no i've um plumbed it in so this is um a five liter storage heating unit um relatively inexpensive for uh i've got this through amazon i think um and um so i've got hot and cold running water how do you get your cold water here uh cold water's through the hose right now so it's just garden hose outside comes to here yeah comes to here and the only thing i've had to do because of the um fitting it all in the one cabinet is i used needed to get one of the expansion tanks fitted uh so that uh i don't have hot water expanding at the back that's right the grey unit there um all of that um slightly uh extra but if you look up the the storage units uh all the plumbing details uh on there yeah and you were quoted how much to do this with proper drainage so it was the whole drainage um and that wasn't trench digging i was quoted three thousand pounds plus that um so uh for my use um i've only needed to empty that waste carrier um sort of once a week once fortnight it's quite heavy uh but because of the wheels uh it's easy enough to manage and they do do 20 liter ones as well um so if you're not as fit yeah the smaller one smaller one will do the job well that's great thanks for that welcome
