I wanted to pair this with an updated book on local codes to start planning a post-retirement dream shop. I think I have just about everything I need between the two. The extra plans available for purchase towards the end are priced almost as much as full home plans, not little sheds however.

Love the show.... I’m a professional plaster board install and finisher in the states...”drywaller” one tip on hanging your plaster board on a cabinet wall. Your longest sheets of plaster board, rip it in half.... start with that on the floor... then stack the sheets... by doing that, you’ll have no visible seams. They will be hidden behind the cabinets. And your counter tops will not be hindered by any plaster mud :-) I’m buying a shirt

Plus they pay you to do everything. Even it would save you a bunch of time, not finishing it would be dishonest...I prefer my customers to tell their friends good things about me and my work... like most big learning curves in life...I learned that one, hard way! I bet the bugs that get in through the kitchen, it would be through a penetration in wall... like a drain pipe. And the hole in the plaster board that was made for the pipe was cut too big, And then it wasn’t sealed up before the fixtures were set.

@jareid82 3 жыл бұрын

Not going to argue code in a different country but it is definitely different than how we achieve the same effect in Canada. Mind you wildly different climates and raw resources lead to solving similar problems in different ways. Your structural drywall is serving the same sheer strength we usually achieve with osb (oriented strand board) exterior sheathing. Although I remember a brief period where we used fire rated drywall instead of osb on exterior walls which was a nightmare to try and stand walls stick framing and gave me no confidence in the sheer strength then or now. Now we use fire rated osb on walls within a minimum distance to a neighboring building and add fire rated fiberglass drywall if it encroaches even further into the minimum lot setbacks (usually just on the fireplace stack unless the engineer/architect gets fancy). Your interior drywall and anchors reminds me more of commercial builds like hotels with interior engineered sheer walls that have to be sheeted with specific staple/nail patterns to provide rigidity to the structure. But still those use osb or plywood here. The closest to interior structural drywall I usually see is double layered 5/8s fire rated on partition walls on adjoining units in a duplex, or condo complex. My past anecdotal experience relying on plaster board for sheer strength makes me leery when I see it used as a structural component but like I said different climates and resource pipelines make for different approaches. I enjoy your channel specifically because my own small contracting company works on virtually identical scale and scope projects as you do. Also you approach things from a different enough perspective that I've picked up a lot of useful tidbits watching your project videos.

Plasterboard as a structural element would be laughed at in US seismic areas. Need structural plywood with hellacious amounts of nails and hardware, with all sorts of internal sheer walls and structural connectors. A few added crappy/brittle drywall screws at the corners of plasterboard are effectively a joke. Sadly, New Zealand will learn the hard way that they need to significantly increase their building code seismic requirements. Christchurch was a bit of a wake-up call, but if plasterboard is accepted practice, they've got a long road ahead. California has seen multiple code revisions as they learn more with every major quake. As a builder, I finally think they've got seismic requirements where they need to be. We did a lot of freeway seismic upgrades - many older structures had seen multiple upgrades that failed. Some of the bridge foundations from the 50s/60s/early 70s that we retrofitted were shockingly underdesigned - I sometimes feared working under them while we did upgrades. Now-a-days, new designs are robust and finally look 'skookum', but it took 50 years and multiple earthquake failures/hundreds of billions in damages to boost design standards high enough.

Sealing is a sore point here in New Zealand. From the late 1980s to the mid 2000s builders put up houses that leaked and rotted. Flashing was replaced with silicon beading. The reason Scott is doing so much on old houses is because buyers are reluctant to build new homes. We know the old ones didn't leak and rot so we pay a premium for houses built before 1986. Modern sheathing systems will be ignored here for another 20 years and then authorities will suddenly 'discover' them as a new innovation.

Inner walls, I rarely see any sort of cross-bracing that I seem to see overseas on walls. I do see it on outer walls, but rarely inner walls. Generally just an aluminium frame, one at the bottom, one at the top and straight beams with a gap between 450 distance, centre to centre. So... I guess in my country, they brace walls less and focus more on the support weight to the roof on certain points and care null about what happens in-between.

Hey Scot i have noticed that every time u work with gyp/plaster u dont have a table but use the floor as a table? Why dont u make a table so u have a better work station ?

I've always wondered, and can't find a straight forward answer on Google, where does plasterboard get started? I've seen it started at the bottom and the top of the wall and in the middle or the left/right of the wall too. Which is best? Cheers

Scott u ran yr plasterboard to the floor?? Damp mate and floor movement?? Not an issue?

Interesting how you brace the walls in New Zealand. In Aus it’s just 6mm ply then gyprock. But your method seems more efficient.

Plywood is stronger than plasterboard, NZ homes are poorly braced. I design homes with Pryda wall truss brace's and sometimes (not very often) I design timber homes with a car shock absorber attached to the end of a diagonal brace (to absorb some of the earthquake energy). Shock absorbers or viscous dampers are a lot better than wall truss bracing or plywood bracing, but more expensive.
