Guy and friends in the garden.

DIY novice Guy Young is making up for his holiday to Spain being cancelled after turning his back garden into a mini-Mediterranean resort.

Guy, an optician, studied YouTube tutorials to help him build the incredible holiday complex behind his two bed semi-detached house.

The main feature of the garden paradise is a 12ft by 7ft by 5ft swimming pool Guy, 34, dug and built by hand using 38,000 blue mosaic tiles.

It took him 18 months to complete and cost him £3,000 in materials, a fraction of the £17,000 he would have paid to have it built professionally.
