A FAMILY was quoted £24,000 for a garden transformation so they did it themselves – and even built a log cabin.
A TikTok user called Jo, who is renovating a 1920s detached house in Cheshire, shared a video showing the conversion.
The footage read: "We wanted to transform this wasted space and needed more storage."
The family was given a figure of £24,000, so decided to do it themselves for just £5,000.
They used railway sleepers to put a border around the trees before building a sturdy timber frame base.
It took just two days to construct the log cabin, which arrived on the back of a lorry.
