The Crazy Framer - UK Edition 👍👍👍

Really enjoying seeing raw materials , vision, skill , hard work and determination come together to produce something useful and valuable. Well done.

Good to see you using cem fixing correctly with studs, took a good few videos of using them wrong ☺️ but timbers looking great 👍

Loving this, really like timber framing.

Hi it a massive project, love it You must have a lot of confidence. Keep the videos coming 👍👍

It was helpful and enjoyable for me.

good master knows where to put a level..

Good for you a big pat on the back 👍

I’ve never had time to do my own stuff and never seen another chippy with the time either😂 lucky man

Enjoy your series of videos. These are good for trades and designers that don't get out to site much. As a self-employed architectural technician, I specify this type of construction on ALL of my extension jobs, this has been a method of construction in Scotland for as long as I can remember. I design things slightly differently, but there are several ways to construct, as timber frame details vary. I noticed you have double cripple studs but no full height stud at wider door opening. One thing I design differently, is the lintol over the side door, I put this at the top of the panel below the double header, simply in case the client changes dimensions of windows and doors changing the head height, easier to change infill timbers than to relocate lintol !!! I would also show noggins (dwangs in scotland) at edges of sheathing/flooring, spec of rigid insulation has to be high for U-Values to be acheivable to regs. We have calcs done for U-value and interstitial condensation. Good to see the progress, keep up the good work.

Timber frame buildings definitely the way to go I know not much cheaper in the long run but you can do a lot of the work yourself with a bit of research really liking the content

Abs brilliant mate . Your right ya don’t see many in uk done like yours . When are we going to catch up with the rest of the world . This is the best way , fastest way . Can put a ton of insulation in void . Weather doesn’t stop ya working either

Hi mate great video, If your attaching a kit to a brick wall you can cut a stick to the size of the kit, Staple dpc on back and level it and pack it to suit Bolt it on,. Then you can take an accurate size from stick to the edge of the building and your not trying to a hold a frame and level it.

Love the videos, interesting to see building of this size done in the UK timber framed! Always been interested in that idea so it's cool to see it being done 👌🏼 Where abouts in the UK is is this? Nice videos, subscribed 👌🏼

Loving your videos, did your planning cover the dormer and the wrap around all at once? I’ve just got similar approved on a bungalow , time to start building 😀

4:48 should there be noggins where the OSB sheet join?

Coming along nicely. Will you be using the new roof space for storage?

Lovely job, Looking to do my extension in timber how did you go getting through planning and building control

This is brilliant, watching as you go on. My only question is, why don't you remove the pebble dash render first? We're looking at starting our extension this year, I was going to do the same out of timber, building the majority myself but due to a new disability, I can no longer do this and have to get a builder in! Brick & block but hey ho.

Binge watchi g this now, but gonna have to have a break for tea or the wife will be very unhappy. But before I go, can't remember what it was, but something you said in this one made me wonder what size the timber is that has been used to frame out the walls. What is it?

question im looking at building my own timber frame extension. very similar to this. when putting your timber frame together do you just use a nail gun or timber lock? i understand why and where to use the chemical bolts. but unsure of when touse the nail gun and when to use the Timber lock. thanks

Have you done a cost video. I know it was 2 years ago but I want to build something very similar. Thanks

I'm building a timber frame and want to use external tiles on the outside can I use them tile backer boards with blue insulation inside fixed to the timber frame?

Look a nice bit of timber, where did you order it from mate?

9:52 is that insulation pushed to deep in the stud? I’m worried the gap you create when you put the vapour barrier on will condensate?

Why did your roofers pack up the birdsmouths with USB??

I’ve seen people with condensation problem with flat timber roofs, how will you avoid that with your walls?

Woods not cheap,it doesn’t grow on trees 🤗

A fine job, you put your noggin's in a straight line as they should be, 👍😁 Why didn't you sheet out the first floor before building the walls for the second floor?

Hi where are you based ? And how are you going to finish the exterior ?

Why did you choose timber frame and not block ?

Shouldn’t the electrician 1st fix before you insulate the stud walls?

wow... thats is not how you should be doing a timber frame at the rear. your upper frame should not be built directly off the top plate of frame below.building control should not be passing that let alone an engineer . and you have timber lintels without cripple studs either side. never one for bashing people doing things but when there are basic structural mistakes being made, felt the need for comment . sorry.
