Mistakes are how most Diyers learn & thanks to people like you we stand a good chance of not making too many. I have a raised loft floor & increased insulation project coming up so I was interested in seeing this one for any tips. My raised loft floor is only for occasional access & storage so I won't be gluing any boards down in case I need to get them up again in the future to access the 1st floor wiring etc. However, the takeaway from this video for me is that the floor board layout is going to be important. I will be working with a mixture of existing & new T&G chipboard so I need to minimise waste & awkward edge fillers. Keep up the good work.. 👍

Great stuff as always , I’ve just recently had a concrete garage installed as a workshop/ store it’s 6mx5m . Our original two car garage was turned into a granny annex some 20 years ago . When we decided to get rid of three rotting shed’s we have , I did look into having a proper brick construction put in . Well the cost was absolutely staggering , at least three times the price of the concrete structure . Even the base would have to be done to a higher standard to meet building regs , which a concrete structure does not require not even planning was required . All this leads me to realise if you’re lucky to find a property with an existing building, just how valuable it is and often it doesn’t really reflect in the purchase price of the house . I know you have done lots to your garage , but I wonder if you’ve ever looked what it would cost to replicate it , it might be quite an eye opener . As a point of interest when we converted our garage into a granny flat , it cost £ 20, thousand all in . Just before I retired as an electrical contractor , I worked on a similar project to ours ie existing garage made into a granny annex . The project came in at just under £80 thousand and is actually smaller than ours . Now knowing you I recon when the time comes you will save some serious money Best wishes and kind regards as always . 😀👍👍👍

Great job, thanks for sharing. Along with your other subscribers, I appreciate the honesty in admitting your mistakes. Too much content on KZfaq gives people the false impression that everything just goes flawlessly first time around. In my opinion, this implied perfection would be rather off-putting for the novice DIYer. Glad you mentioned the funky looking Ryobi track: It was the first thing I wondered about. Evolution actually makes a standard circular saw that runs on Evolution - and, presumably, Makita or Festool tracks.👍

Nice work. I'm just finishing laying a structural plywood floor as part of a bungalow loft conversion. I've got to sister up rafters onto the ridge RSJ. Insulation is going to be with a product called Actis which I have managed to haggle down to less than Pir board. For a habitable space for part L of UK building regs its great as it expands slightly to fill in between the rafters. I am looking forwards to seeing your StairBox video as I intend to order one. Great content.

For the hatch, you could get a couple of handles which you attach via bolts going into threaded inserts. When you're done, you remove the handles and the inserts remain. If you recess the inserts and use shallow headed bolts, you could even leave the bolts in there. You could also just use some webbing screwed into the sides of the hatch which you are able to pull the hatch out with.

Hi Charlie, great honest video. You make a good point about which way up to lay the flooring, not least because some manufacturers put the print on the reverse side so you do have to read carefully and not lay on autopilot (don’t ask)! The floor also goes together easier when you lay it the right side up as it’s been engineered to be done that way. Great idea about leaving the hatch, to0 marks to your chippy 😀

Adding an expansion joint makes perfect sense, but does anyone know how this is meant to work when there are numerous screws holding down the rest of the floor? It seems the gap would only be able to accommodate expansion from the outermost sheet, leaving the rest without any expansion potential.

Indeed, it is confusing. Imagine if he had glued as well. Even more redundant

@HowardBurgess Жыл бұрын

@@MrWarfd001 btw wasn’t a criticism of the way Charlie did this. You see this method applied in lots of situations. Totally understand that a fully floating floor wouldn’t be appropriate. Maybe you can ignore expansion here because both materials are wood and would expand similarly.

Just a reminder that the ceiling ties are always in tension and so some way should be found to stop the roof from spreading when you cut one for your hatch. Screws into the end grain is not normally sufficient. Angle brackets each side of the cut joist, bolted through the trimmer should do. Regards Tom (Structural Engineer)

@CharlieDIYte Жыл бұрын

Re the loft hatch I’d be tempted to screw some magnetic material to the areas where you need to pull on and get a strong magnet to give you something to pull on. Think of the magnets that people go magnet fishing with. As you have the hoist means you could use that to pull the hatch up.

@handle1196 Жыл бұрын

Some great tips. Its made me seek answers to two issues i might face building a house. 1. How to support boards on a new house where some of the joists change direction by 90 degrees. 2. Gluing the T&G and the boards to the joists or using green glue tape on top of the joists instead because my floor decking needs installed during the build when no roof is on. I was advised to use minimal nails until the roofs on then screw it all up otherwise water sits in the screw heads and works into the chipboard past the 45 day weather protection. But with minimal screws the boards wont pull down well to the glue so maybe the green glue separation tape would be best.

@CharlieDIYte Жыл бұрын

Thanks. They do a version with polythene film on it for your type of situation - caberdek. That would be ideal. The screw holes are still an issue though. I guess you could tape over them as you say.

@handle1196 Жыл бұрын

@@CharlieDIYte taping over could be a good idea. The tape i referred to was 3mm foam tape by green glue which adheres to the top of the joists and acts as a sound decoupler between the joist and caberdeck.

@CharlieDIYte Жыл бұрын

Have you got the brushless HP saw? If so, it's probably worth getting but you won't be able to rip down a full sheet with it. It's ok but a bit more flimsy than the aluminium tracks. Plus you have to guess the entry point of the blade as it's a few mm from the edge of the track.
