Basically to sit on my concrete garage base. I want to do the lot. Can you recommend a DIY book?

I was given the Collins Complete DIY Manual a few years ago. Generally lots of pretty good tips in it.

Same here, but haven’t opened it since YouTube!

I'd second the YouTube suggestion. There are some incredibly useful videos detailing almost any job you can think of in much more detail than a book could hope to cover.

Worth looking out for someone who has built something similar to what you're hoping to and made a series of videos detailing the build - again some are very well filmed and will cover almost everything you might need to know.

I would add youtube, the answer to learning everything these days.

I will also add invest in the correct tools for the job be it buying them or hiring them, it will make everything so much nicer to do.
