In this video, I continue working on my 3rd bedroom remodel by sistering up the 2x6 ceiling joists, filling in some missing strapping and drywall nailers.

I'll probably never need to know all these details you give, but I love to watch your channel anyway. I find it fascinating how site built homes are put together and all the ways you solve problems you come across. I can't help but think how much easier it would be to just all have houses like you showed us they have in Iceland, though. 😅

Another fantastic job. Trust me. Get yourself a palm nailer! They are great for nailing in tight spaces. I installed a bunch of joist hangers on a job once and couldn’t pick up a hammer for two weeks. Wrecked a tendon in my wrist.

I just want to say how incredibly helpful I have found your videos. I have an old 1930's brick built house in the UK that is not straight or square, that we are renovating slowly room by room, Your videos have given us so much confidence to tackle everything. We love the way you "split the difference" when things are not square and that is just what we needed to know when we were tackling our very wonky walls. Thank you so much for all the entertainment and encouragement to get in there and have a go 😀

Question about UK construction for you: Why do drywall installers coat the entire sheet in mud rather than just the seams and nail holes? It seems so excessive.

@KikiniBamalam Жыл бұрын

@@Heymrk I have no idea to be honest. I think plasterboard is quite a "recent" (past 20 or 30 years?) thing over here. I have always lived in houses with brick construction with brick or block interior walls that are plastered with a bonding coat then skim finished. My ceilings are plaster and lath, no boards at all, but my house is a mid 1930's construction.

I really enjoy your videos because of the following - you explain things in layman fashion. Your attention to detail, i.e. cleaning, sorting and discarding the mess, open to suggestions on how to do things - you are not married to thinking your way is the best, the sequential and chronological evolution of your personal house rebuild is so satisfying and complete, and your use of time lapse and real time is spot on. I find it medicinal and therapeutic. And you seem to enjoy doing it not only for yourself, but for your audience as well. Bravo.

I was looking through my grandfather's text books, and I saw that strange joint for the rafter ends, a 2x4 in a bird mouth supporting the rafter on the sill plate. The book was published in 1902 by Frederick J. Drake and Co. "Modern Carpentry, a Practical Manual" by Fred T. Hodgson.

Probably just me, but I would have connected the joists to the rafters with long RSS structural screws. Two of them each would have been more than enough. Another great job on this.

You know what you're doing, clearly, but just a note on nomenclature. The "cross bracing" is actually called bridging. Like solid blocking, its purpose is to prevent the joists from rolling over.

2:50 that cross bracing is doing nothing but making insulating more difficult later... your strapping is performing the same function, plus you will be adding floor boards in the attic.

@Kopsu87 Жыл бұрын

I don't like that way of cross bracing. Seems like a hassle to insulate. Wouldn't a single board that is mounted flush with the top edge of the joists do the same job as you already have the bottom of the joists nailed with the strapping (or whatever they are called). This way you could slide the insulation in the bay for the whole way without interruptions. Love your content.

@1styoudummy Жыл бұрын

Maybe strap the rafter over the top and fasten them to the top plate. Mainly for up lift. Here in South Florida, a steel strap is embedded in the poured tie-beam and strapped to the truss. You actually have to have a tie-beam inspection that includes the strap.
