Hi Robin: It's refreshing watching a time served C&J but the majority of people in the USA don't understand or know what you're talking about. Yes I know Americans speak a kind of English. Most of the words they use are changed forever as you may know. Keep rolling out the vids it's been a while since I was on the tools in a full time capacity. I enjoyed the old ways of saw sharpening. I used to have a saw horse vice, but now the old ways are gone ( but not forgotten ). It's a throw away society these days.

Would you recommend plywood behind base/wall cabinets to increase air flow and prevent moisture/damp? Or can the cabinets get fitted onto plasterboard?

@SkillBuilder Жыл бұрын

It is a great idea to use OSB or ply on stud walls and then face it with plasterboard. That gives you all the fixing points you need. It is not required for damp because the walls are in the heated area but it makes a good solid wall.

@superstacker150 Жыл бұрын

@@SkillBuilder thanks really appreciate the response, what about solid/brick walls that have been plasterboarded (i.e without studs)? Is it OK to just fit the units without plywood for air circulation? It's something I heard and read people do so was wondering if my builder was missing a step

@ReedikTuuling 4 жыл бұрын

I would avoid swinging doors(shelving) below the countertop - you basically limit access to one side only. You can get sliding trash units for under the sink stuff. Added bonus is that you can use only handles then for that "clean look" - you can the go all knobs on the top level cabinets. Mixing knobs and handles on the same level looks weird - unless they match really well.

Would those adhesive work for skirtings if the walls are wonky? Im having a mare of a time with our renovation. Solvent adhesives have not got enough grab. Also surprised you didn't domino the frame for your cabinets, would of make alignment easy :D

@garethheathcote4988 4 жыл бұрын

I always use insta stick low expansion gun grade foam for fixing things like skirting a mate. It's extremely strong,very low expansion and goes off completely in ten to fifteen minutes so you can put some weight against any bits you may be trying to bend in to the wall or use a wedge and they only need to hold for fifteen minutes then it will have grabbed And you can remove them. It was originally developed for sticking plasterboard to the walls instead of dry wall adhesive but it sticks pretty much anything. Have a quick google of it-- insta stick gun grade low expansion foam.

@DonGerico 4 жыл бұрын

@@garethheathcote4988 Thanks for the suggestion. I've actually been recommended that by a few people now but I am trying one more product and if that fails, I will give this a go. How do the wedges work? I've tried to google around but I've not found any examples. I'm thinking about screwing a temporary piece of timber to my floor in front of the skirting and then making some wedges which I can bash in between to get things flush until it dries - am I on the right track?
