neem oil is great for fungus gnats! You mix it with water and a tiny bit of soap (to emulsify it), generously water your plants and it kills the gnats that are already there, as well as absorbing into your plant (it's non toxic and derived from a plant, doesn't cause issues for the plant) to make them naturally resistant to fungus gnats for up to a month so that any gnats that survive the soak but then eat the root are also killed. Also bottom watering can help, but that's quite a well known fix

It may take a few waterings but it will kill all flies, gnats, and their larvae so you get long term results. I water with this solution every month to keep persistent pressure on them.

Use a ROUTER TABLE! See Harry's comment below. Make your own if necessary. The old Trend T11 is excellent for that sort of thing - through-table height adjustment to around 0.2 mm means your T & G will always match up. I am also a bit suprised you didn't steal a piece of the old stuff from somewhere inside the house and match to it. Don't run the whole lot you've just made from your studs, only to find the T & G are not at the correct height to match into the old...!

It would be heaps of work, but wide plank flooring these days is kerf cut on the underside to prevent cupping and warping. Else, face nailing become necessary. We salvaged an enormous amount of beams from an old mill that was being torn down. Spent the time to mill the lumber into usable thicknesses, and then processed it all into wainscoting and floor boards. Tons of work, but the quality of wood and outcome is extraordinary. They simply don’t grow trees like that anymore! I’d encourage you to knock about Nelson at any Reno sites and see if there’s salvage wood available. With the shortages, prices and delays, you now know that with some work you can get “original” quality timber for your renovation.

Love your videos! For Jess’s fungus gnat issues - if it’s indoor plants, I highly recommend yellow sticky pads around the plants for 4-6 weeks (easily bought online), and also stop watering for longer periods to allow top couple of inches of soil to dry. The fungus gnats breed in the top soil whilst it’s moist, and their live cycle is 28 days or so, so limited watering (from the bottom as well - so you would sit the plant pot into some water, let it soak and then drain rather than watering from the top) and sticky traps for a couple of months should limit adults outside as well as larvae inside. I know some recommend adding cinnamon on top of the soil or even sand/grit, but I found bottom watering and only when needed really limits them a lot. I have a few hundred houseplants 😀 good luck and all the best in your renovations, we’re also remodelling some bits of our house in the UK so I can symphatise how hard it is to get materials and stuff. 👍 all the best!

Pyriproxyfen - if you can get it in New Zealand - will control fungus gnats. It's a growth inhibitor so the larvae will not grow to adulthood. Add some fipronil to kill the adults.

For Jess’s fungus gnat issues - for indoor plants, try covering the exposed soil. I used a fine, black sand (like for aquariums) to cover all the surface, about 1cm thick. This makes it impossible for the flies to hatch/ get out of the soil. Worked like a charm for me! 🙂

@Jess - urgh fungus gnats - my nemesis. Things I have found to work: #1 isolation of affected plant (they spread). I also isolate a new plant - just in case it's a culprit / after repotting - new soil seems to bring them sometimes. #2 let the soil dry out (only as dry as the plant likes it to be) also top tip buy a watermeter - really stopped me overwatering which is when I found they really set in. #3 at the next watering do a neem oil root soak - the only thing I have found to kill them. It's difficult in winter because you need the soil to dry out in between watering - so takes a while. soggy soil is their favourite home. I have found two rounds of Neem oil watering is enough to work. #4 sticky yellow tags - Bunnings sell them - they just collect any of the critters as they emerge - hopefully stopping them from spreading further. #5 if it's really bad - repot. They live in the soil - so shake off all the old soil from the roots and get rid of it. Repot with fresh soil - good idea to use vermiculite and perlite that you already have - to keep soil aerated. Then water in with the Neem oil mix. Good luck!

Is that a Yorkshire bloke I hear with the bionic knees? Wasn't expecting one of us on the South Island! Cheers from sunny Sheffield, South Yorkshire.

easiest way is to cut the groove first and then adjust the tongue bit to fit into the groove already cut. cut a few short test pieces for this so as not to waste wood. oh and as a retired furniture maker who used a lot of recycled rimu. it has become scarcer than hens teeth! my understanding is a certain company buys in huge bulk ships it to china.. makes it into crap furniture and sells it back to us at a huge profit.

Those bit holders from Freud are so damn tight for whatever reason. I bought a set of plywood bits and it took forever to get those damn things out. Had to use a drill bit to enlarge the opening so I could pull the bits out more easily without cutting myself.

For the plant pest you could try a oil soap water spray over the plants.

Great video as always! As for the fungus gnats, if you can buy a product called mosquito bits that'll do the trick. Sprinkle on top of soil or make a tea and pour it over. Might take 3+ weeks and a couple treatments for all the gnats to die off. Good luck!

Pull up an old piece of flooring from your house and use it to set the depth of the tongue and groove. Like run the router along the old piece to check that you have the depth correct.

Neem oil for fungus nats. They live and breed in the soil so they will come back every time you repot plants. Add it into the water before watering the plants.

Hi Scott, I'm currently slowly demolishing a 1930s house which has all Rimu framing, flooring, doors and trim. Only thing is I am in central North Island otherwise would be more than happy for you to use some of the timber. I am saving the best bits and the rest will be going to firewood

use all that router chip as a mulch over the gnat soil and water only from the bottom to have the top layer dry out

That yukka will grow back in no time - we used a paint on weed killer. Something like Cut’n’Paste bamboo buster. Killed the lot. Also, as a random aside, I’m massively allergic to rewarewa!

Hi Jess, try using Mozzie bits! You mix them into your soil or sprinkle them ontop. When you water your plants, the moisture allows the bits to release a natural chemical which kills the larvae in the soil :) You can get them from mitre 10 or bunnings

On my house extension with rimu floors, I got floorboards made from recycled timber from James Henry (their website is their name). They are in Lower Hutt, so still nearby, just over the water. Excellent team to work with.

If you’re in the lower North Island, there’s a great recycling place in Palmerston North called Rusty Nail. I made some gates from old rimu studs I got from there
