    1 of my pet hates the hangers being over sized I always pack with 9mm ply either between the double or on the outside so it lines through when boarding. Then bead of resin in the top of the slot. Great work as always

    Love your content mate. I’m just a keen DIYer (most complex thing I’ve done is build my garden office) but love watching more complex building jobs. One observation if I may - I noticed you didn’t use washers on the coach bolts. when I doubled up the rafters on my garden room I also used coach bolts but found without big washers the heads were pulling through the timber! Probably just me overtightening the darn things….

    Solid and sturdy job you've done there Rich, can't see that floor going anywhere soon. The point you made about the minimum 2m headroom I thought that applied to all stairs wherever they are in the house ? By the way what has happened to the big job and Mick for that matter, have you given him his cards or are you keeping that job under wraps till next year ?

    Maybe those double hangars are oversized because you sometimes have to sandwich a piece of steel plate in between two joists for load bearing purposes? Just a guess really.

    great job rich. what do you think of that adjustable angle nail bar. i have been tempted a few times but never pulled the trigger. you should get a wider diamond blade for jobs like that. i have a 6 and an 8 . great for those metal lead clips. you know its fully clear then. the sds method is a pain to get that last stuburn bit out

    Hi Alan. I wouldn’t hesitate with your purchase of the nail bar it’s excellent and very versatile because of the adjusting head. I’ve got a couple of different blades but wanted a tight fit and to be honest the bricks were that soft on this occasion the drilling out method worked out great for me. Thanks for commenting on the video mate and your continuing support it’s very much appreciated. 👍🏻

    By the time I’d levelled the trimmers in there was hardly a gap. It looked more before I started messing with the acro props to level it in. I did put several packers and plenty adhesive under them and between the old and new. At least I know you were listening to what I was saying and not just watching what I was doting thanks for that 😁👍🏻

    Think I'd of chopped the double trimmer into the 9" solid wall by one skin depth then wrapped the end of the trimmers in DPC

  • @mrabuilders6723

    @mrabuilders6723

    7 ай бұрын

    This is a solid 9” wall and it’s not good practice to pocket joists into it in my opinion. It introduces the opportunity to pull more damp into the inner face. Also if you wrap it in DPC and moisture gets into the void where the joist sits it can then get trapped in between the DPC and the timber causing the joist to rot. Thanks for taking the time to comment Anthony and thanks for watching.

    I think the hangers out there always seem to comply with rough sawn sizes, so 2" is 2", 4" is 4" etc.. But timbers are rough sawn to those sizes and then planed down slightly, hence why they don't fit exactly.

    Can’t disagree with that but for many years now we find easy edge sections at our stockists which are regulated to the same size so a 2” timber will now be either 44mm or 47mm. I haven’t used rough sawn timber for over 10 years at a guess especially for joists and rafters etc. Thanks for taking the time to comment. 👍🏻
