Thank you mate

There a good team! I don’t give them enough credit

It’s wood, and it weathers, it’s going to open up, best to minimize the damage. Cheers pal

Thank you

Thank you

Post a pic mate, I’d love to see it

william griffin time lapse of work done so far bud! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f9GjltZqntnFhn0.html

Big Elbow’s Emporium just watched and commented! 👌 perfect, hat off to you sir! You’ve taken it al in

generally get 8ft lengths, and trim to size

northern building plastics mate

Yeah, used to do single tbh,

I’d love that! , our Plasterer could probably give them some advice too! I’ve paid him 1030, this week for 3 jobs, there’s a lot of money in a perfect finish 👍🏼

william griffin I need to up my prices if that is what he is pulling down. 😂😂 In all seriousness I will be in touch and if you are keen would love to get you to speak with students, I think your honesty will strike a chord cause as much as I tell them it’s hard work I’ve been in education now for 12 years and I can’t speak from experience no longer. I had a fibrous plasterer from Wigan come to see me this year and did a workshop for me, the students loved it. Massive respect for you guys out there day in day out and willing to share knowledge and experience. We need more like yourself.

It’s a hard slog! But if you get it right the rewards will come. I’ve built this show on quality, I won’t compromise! It’s crazy now, but we generally go home at 3, work all day, then go home and enjoy your home life. Tell your students, I’ve gone from the recession and standing outside b@q with a sign saying , Joiner, will work for cash or food. I needed to feed my family. To being happy, and having a thriving business. It’s swings and roundabouts! Put the graft in, you’ll get it back 🙌

william griffin you’d be just the man to talk to them, in normal circumstances I’d have level 3 students with me in September but I am unsure how it is going to unfold as Wales is running things slightly differently to England. As long as I know you are up for it I will keep track of you via this you tube channel and once I know the plan would it be ok to contact you and set up an online session with my students? Obviously I would work around you and wouldn’t want to impact your working day too much. Just think it be really beneficial for young people to hear from someone like yourself on the experiences of being self employed and employing people etc. If you did come to wales then I’d take you for a breakfast but since this lockdown we been told to do everything online!

Mate, I love people who have a desire to progress I’m 100 % up for it! If I can be of assistance, let me know, I’m more than happy to tell

A guy on here used a plasterer bead fixed to the bottom last, genius idea, the one thats a mesh

deck want to be off the floor so would build frame work and concrete in posts to support separately

100% finish is priority

100%, it’s the face fixing of the 16g that looks like a bullet hole!

Not sure what you have read, but when you glue the t&g boards they become one big sheet. Expansion would be on the full sheet, but if you think about it, once you fix the board mechanically, it can not move any way. Always glue them

upvc soffit and fascia comes with corners so its a tidy finish, also the rubber roof comes with a corner piece too

Osmo oil is also very good UV 12x oil. £63 for 2.5L, great stuff!

Hi, we silicone around the windows, but can’t until the cedar oil is dry

Never heard tgat one mate, and being building these years, if it’s within 1mtr of the boundary, it’s gotta have a non combustible wall, but it’s never checked

floor joists 100mm 22mm flooring 1950 door height 15mm gap to allow for door fitting 160mm steel 125 roof joists 18mm osb3 roof board 1mm rubber roof 25mm rubber roof trim 2416mm

Airflow.

Hi, nailer will be ok as long as it’s got depth gauge, we sometimes use the 63mm d heads on the feather edge at the back. Rods are on the small side tbh, but a unit that big should be only around 3/4 tonne in total in my experience on the way we build them.

@@thegardenroomguru wow fast reply.. yeah if each M16 thread can support 1.5ton then 13 of the should be be ok under compressional forces. I suppose it's just the lateral forces and longevity which is gonna be the concern..

The T.G.V allows for movement.

never had an issue on any of mine, its not much smaller than 16g

The first (vertical) battens create an inch airspace to allow air to circulate and dry any any damp, and allows a free path down for any rain ingress. It is important to have a clear gap at the bottom to allow water out. (You can get perforated bottom edging for this.)

Yes I will, next time I get one with angles mate

william griffin I’d also be really interested in this - due to my rear neighbours fence suddenly turning into my garden half way across the back of my build I have to bend the back wall by 40 degrees. I’d be particularly keen to know how to then do the roof joists as the pitch for the joists on the right side of the front wall will be steeper than those on the left....

50mm mate

i'm not sure about the cedar, but it's a Paslode (IM50?) by the looks of it, amazing bits of kit

Cedar finishes at 18mm, nail gun is paslode 18g im50 , quality bit of kit

@@thegardenroomguru awesome, would it be any downsides if the cedar was 12mm thick as the 18mm is very expensive?? and would a 10% waste allowance be enough when ordering cedar?

I’ve used shadow gap profile. Looks stunning

@@pawsreena73 thank you for that, there are so many choices!

I am wondering the same, @liam?

Clear 🙌
