I think the drone is a great addition to give your viewers a different view, but also, can be used to inspect roofing when quoting for jobs to see without getting ladders or scaffolding up. Love watching your videos from a DIY perspective and followed your channel for over few years now.

I would "REALLY" like to know, considering the quality and effort the team are showing on this build, what stage the work on the 'previous' job that you parted ways on, has gotten to, this vlog has shown that your work, ethics and quality is top notch IMHO, I just wish we had more to watch, waiting a week is like being back in the 80's waiting for the next thrilling installment of whatever to come :) Thanks for the uploads, the comedy and the quality, very much appreciated.

Like so many followers here I just love your attention to detail and quality of work. I’m busy with my own projects in our bungalow we moved into 8 weeks ago and you guys are an inspiration to me as when I hit an issue I think what would you guys do to ensure a good job! Your content is great. All the best to you all. Regards Mike. Love the drone shots

What a great series of videos. You really put yourselves in the firing line in making these. Warts and all. You have emerged having completed (except bells and whistles) a fairly complex and demanding job which from which an experienced self home builder has learned a lot and been reassured that what practices I have done over the years have been based on common sense and good basic principles. I have enjoyed watching the processes.

Really great job, you were blessed with nice dry weather not alone for the construction of the roof but for the critical part with the fibre glass work on the roof.

Great job , loved the way you showed how the GRP roof is fitted . As I have fitted the GRP roofs myself being a window and conservatory and flat roof fitter , well done lads 👍

Upping your game, with a drone now. Very nice. All looks fantastic lads, thanks for sharing.

Fantastic video as always, always look forward to Sundays! I'm not a builder but a cabinet maker and I would like to think a knowledgeable diyer. I recently took my plastic gutter down to clean (bungalow). My question is, would it be possible to take the gutter down on your flat roof, or just replace a fitting? I'm referring to the way the trim sits in the gutter. Sorry if this is a dumb question! Keep up the great work guys. You are true craftsman and I applaud you for passing on your skills in a very informative way, with comedy thrown in as well.

Top job as usual guys, when can you come down to Sussex I have a whole list of jobs to do!

Thanks for the knowledge and the entertainment! I have a question about drainage again... as it stands it looks like the gutter of roof 3 will have to deal with all the rain falling on roof 3, plus roof 1 and on top of that half the roof of the original house, is there not a high risk of overflowing in a downpour? I'm a fan of the Gate City Foundation Drainage channel and Sean is always saying "once water is in a pipe, keep it in a pipe", so maybe the water from roof 1 and the top of the house should somehow be kept in down pipes instead of flowing on top of roof 3? But I wouldn't know how to do that...

Quick question and sorry if I’ve missed it but you mentioned that the last builders put the roof onto the outer skin of brickwork and not the inner skin. Did you do the same (but on top of the ladder frame)?

It looked bone dry underneath so at least they did summt right I guess......

Could you please explain to me why your OSB sheeting is only 2 feet wide. Here in the states everything is 4 x 8. I am quite confused.

@mrabuilders6723

14 күн бұрын

Hi Robert. As you may have seen in this episode we talked about having two different types on this roof that didn’t fit together. This is because these OSB sheets are 8’ x 2’ tongue and groove which allows us to span between rafters and not have to go onto the centre of each flat roof rafter like standard OSB or other sheet materials. Hope this explains your question. Thanks for watching. 👍🏻

Hi Adam and lad's It's great t see what your doing your work videocontent is very good👍. A good friend is having a rubber roof. As like your main roof with the same roof lantern that you have i know yours glass fibre as I've watched all of your stuff.. My experience with fiberglass on boats is that it's far more durable harder, and has greater longevity so I told him I would have gone down the route of glass he said nop rubber it's much better , he's been told. Blaaa blaaaa have you a preference to rubber or glass. As I've said I think glass fibre. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍cheers dave
