Ah sorry for that! I will say it's worth watching my later videos as I missed some crucial steps installing these that I wasn't made aware of before finishing!

That's correct yeah 😁 It's a while back now but I think I mentioned in the video it was pointless to do it all, but he was happy everything was in the right place, ready to be sleeved and labelled with no hassle. Glad this helped you! I really wanted Aircon but didn't have the budget.

Minimum cutback was recommended to me, I think it was 20mm. The base isn't overhanging the drip edge, but there's a bucket of sealant between the panel bottoms and the drip sill. I had to retroactively take the screws out and pump butyl between the panels once I discovered it was leaky. No one told me about any of these things when I was looking into it. No mentions of butyl tapes etc.

​@@CanOfRabbitHoles there's no mention of butyl tape in any of the documentation I've seen. Where is that mentioned? It does say to double tape and premseal the head plate and ensure the panel is at least flush with the external wall. Preferably overlapping. The minimum cutback is 25mm, however I thought that was for steep, overlapped pitches. I was sure 50mm+ was required for 4 degree... Can't find where I read that now. It looks like butyl at the cutback end, on the underside of the upper metal layer is causing water trackback. Are you saying that was added after the leaks started?

@@peterlambert691 yes mate. I'm glad you have found more resources than I did. No more leaks now, and I've since pressure washed the roof to test it :) I have no idea where any of the stuff specifically mentioning butyl is, but it's basically the only correct option as far as I can tell.

@@CanOfRabbitHoles Awesome news, well done. So, it looks like there's two versions, depending on where you get it. The Kingspan domestic supply, appears to have "factory applied weather seal", however the commercial panels do not and therefore have differing instructions. Where did you get yours from?

@@peterlambert691 AJW supplied them to me. Bet the went for industrial

Hmm that's a really clever idea. I do like the peace of mind given my expensive computer gear that everything shuts down no matter what, just so as to be sure, but I might look into that more. Thanks John!

Thanks John! After this point the earth's were all fitted with green and yellow sleeves. The neutral on that grade of SWA cable is actually not supposed/required to be marked blue. Hope this helped :)

Thanks John! No leaks so far so fingers crossed I'll be able to patch up the inside in the new year! Happy new year to you too, thanks for watching!

Here's hoping Johnzo! Merry the thing and happy etc to you too :D

I know for certain I did. The problem arises when you don't use butyl tape between the joints and when you install them in the wrong direction. The REASON I made these mistakes? They are present only in the manufacturers specification, they aren't there in the installation guide from the supplier! These are for commercial use and it shows, there are just too many assumptions made that an amateur just wouldn't know about. Totally unsuitable.

@@CanOfRabbitHoles Live snd learn...

Hey ADP! Good to hear from you again! Hope your build is going well! My advice on the softwood is that if you do go for it, the you MUST stain it all over, even in the grooves, and don't use owatrol, since all the shades dyed mine orange, and no, 6 months didn't calm it down. If you remember I stained the backs of mine with bostic bitumen paint and it's a nightmare. The boards cupped and the bitumen got everywhere. Next year when I extend the front into a shed and decking, the first cladding will be removed and we're going to upgrade it. Turned into a false economy for ours sadly

@@CanOfRabbitHoles sorry to hear that. A friend of mine recommended 'thermowood' as a reasonably priced cladding material. It does look a good option except none of the suppliers are anywhere close and have a hefty delivery charge!

@@AnomalousDataPoint yeah exactly the same here. Think I'm just going to have to save up for the delivery fees. I spaffed away my whole remortgage on the main build

2.5mm I believe. If you're in any doubt though, best to check with online resources or an electrician :)

Earth wire from gland fitted with proper crimp same size as your wire armour live and neutral

Hi there. I'm doing the same as you in my shed. I was just wandering with the 2.5mm and 1mm cables coming out of the consumer unit going to the circuits do the glands have to be water tight or snug? It's confusing me because they aren't round so how do you seal them?

Just the one. So the 20mm cutback I had is just on the gutter edge, this allows water to drip off, for peace of mind next time I might go for 40mm. Get a quote from panelsell, they will help you immensely and give helpful diagrams!

appreciate the reply, thanks @@CanOfRabbitHoles

It's personal preference for the build you want. I had no overhang and regretted it With hindsight I would probably go for a good 10mm overhang minimum.

@@CanOfRabbitHolesactually at least 100 mm

Come October I think it's a year since then hahaha

Well hopefully I'll be back to make the shed and decking in not too long. After that I want to build a huge pergola and patio, there's work to be done inside the home too, like custom units and things.

There will be! :D

No, sadly it keeps saying it's not installed ;)

Hahaha, it's a curtain holdback

Thanks James! It's comments like this that make doing the videos worth it! We're absolutely buzzing, one of those ones where it doesn't quite feel real, like, did I really do this?

Thanks a lot Paul! Chuffed!

Can't wait :D

Thanks. First time doing it haha

Haha, like I said when you dropped it, these things happen. It's how we overcome them which defines us :D Thank you for the help though. As it turns out it was a little easier on my own cause I could stand in the middle and rotate. Who'd have thunk it?

@@CanOfRabbitHoles To be fair, I don't think I was really doing much in the first place haha

Thanks my dude! Yeah she's unreal TBF. She's put up with a LOT of nights and weekends managing 2 lil tikes and a home on her own.

Boiling! Haha, unfortunately we can't afford AC, so it's just got to be a fan

Me too lol!

I know right!? Can't believe how close we are to completion. Feels like yesterday it was just some holes in the ground 😂

Good point, I don't think I showed it well on screen, but there's around an inch of clearance:)
