Thank you very much! Dan the Man coming in to help with the roof in the next one.

Another fantastic instalment, sit back with a cup of tea and just watch….. 👍🏽

Great videos,kp m coming,🇨🇮🇨🇮

Always nice to see quality work.😊

Really enjoying this series. 👍🏼

Nice to see quality work being done, what a great team.

Looking forward to seeing Dan the man.👍

Nice job! Love watching people working their trade

These guys know what there doing

Love it!

Nice job sam! Wouldnt like to be the person who has to come and rod that drain if need be. Hope youve put some grease round that cover to make life a bit easier if it ever has to be removed, helps make a nice seal too. 😉

Quality build for sure

A pleasure to watch a professional at work. Every eventuality anticipated. Every once in a while a specialized term sneaks in. Perhaps a caption to clarify?

Brilliant Sam, it's great to watch british tradesmen and lady at work , I see you put cement and bricks to support the floor joists from moving , just a thought could you have used 4 x4 wood block on its end with dpc on the bottom to support joist ? loved the soft porn music 🙂 all the best 👍

Care and attention to detail evident. Only thing is continuing the cavity with the existing house, or vertical dpc?

Some modern methods I question if they will prove to be better in the future. It's good to see the bricklayer laying the bricks the correct way and using all the off cuts on your block work . All help to be a little bit more environmentally friendly on building sites that generally are know for wasting so much good material. Nice job on the whole though but, ditch the Marshall Town jointer as there are much better tools on the market giving you a much better finish.

Starting to take shape Sam. 😉

I'm glad I saw you chamfering the edge of the waste pipe. I'll be replacing ours soon and that's probably something I would have overlooked. I assume the champfer is there to ensure a good seal with the rubber ring?

It is to stop the cut end from damagint the O'Ring. You also need silicone lube for an easy fit

What’s with the white blocks are they any good ?

At the wall starter, shouldn’t the internal corner have foam strip and mastic to allow for movement?

@SkillBuilder

That is done on the new work side of the wall starter.

One question I always wanted to ask was about the wall ties and insulation - does one not block the other? Do you start with a line of ties at DPC level, then put in a board of insulation yay high then another line of ties above it? It's something I've never heard on any of the videos I've seen.

It's a very good build n clear, logical commentary. Thames water in SE England don't allow for double seal manholes n I thought it was similar ax England...? I'm trying to do something similar to u, but build a side infill extension however i have an end of sewer run next-door which is just over 2m deep. Thames water in their literature state the foundations hv to b 1m away. In ur experience what can b done to build to my neighbours boundary but not 1m away as it wd not b worth building the extension. Comments appreciated. Take care.

@SkillBuilder

10 ай бұрын

That is not the case. Thames Water are not responsible for a private drain and Sam did say this is a private drain. They don't allow them on sewers when there is a build over agreement but you can leave them in place and provide external access outside the building. I have seen them buried beneath a concrete floor slab in the past and it is has been passed.

@@SkillBuilder thx v much for the clarification, very much appreciated. How wd I build closer to my boundary if the foundations wd need to b 1metre away. Is there some sort of bridging that can b used. Wht hv u seen in ur experiences. If I hv to build a metre away, it means my side extension will only b 1/2 m wide so not worth it. Value your comments. . Thx

@SkillBuilder

@@RS-ei3yt It is tricky. We find that Thames Water don't even come out, they just take your money and trust you. I think if you put some polystyrene in between the foundations and the drain it is possible to build closer and I have done it. Bridging is always possible. You need a couple of concrete blocks in the ground 1 cubic metre and then bridge over to them and run a couple of ground beams above the drain. If you renew the drain run and surround it with pea shingle the can alwasy get at it and that is all they need.

In the UK, do you instulate the "crawl space" under the floor joists? If so, how? Between joist insulation? Insulation applied to the walls around the space? If not, why not? There are air vents, so there is the potential for a lot of very cold air flowing constantly under the floor. Insulating that floor space in some way typically saves in heating costs. Just curious.

the joist hangers are actually one course above dpc and had to be painted with a water proof membrane or wrapped in Dpm

I mean the manhole under the floor is not ideal, i would of expected that to be raised and joists around it with a air tight cover, then it sit just below but not touching floor boards. This would allow for access at at later date, you don’t currently have access as it sits below the floor which is my problem. No reason it would be lifted or even diverted if it wasn’t t9 be lifted.
