Brilliant job lads. Pity the camera overheated but still get the idea from the pre-built woodwork. 👌

It's unbelievable how you are able to coordinate all this works. I'm watching how you do this project for second time already and I enjoy it like a good movie 😄

It helps that I was Butlins Summer Season Plate Spinning Champion 2011! University of life!!! Thank you for your support Daniel, we really appreciate it.

I like how you built the front of the dormer. There's some good tips in this series for everyone 👍

Morning mate, hope you're well. It's a great way of not working on a cramped scaffolding and carting all the materials up there. Have a great weekend mate.

Haha! Excellent! Another little milestone reached! Thank you EcoMan 2000, we really appreciate it. Have a great day.

Looks like good work! Interesting order of doing things but I can see why you did it. One small critique is that the corners will probably be a bit tricky to insulate, look up California corners for the future.

Will do mate, cheers.

Any reason why the dormer is able to rest on the existing wall? I’ve seen some engineers ask to put in a steel to rest on top of the wall.

Did you chem fix bolt the sole plate into the sloped bricks?

Brilliant, shame the footage of the build bit was lost, but the video was still good

Cheers Logan. Guess what though...I managed to salvage the footage in the end! Not sure whether I can edit it in without deleting the video though??? Are you really bingeing on all the videos? That's ace if you are! Thank you!

At point 0.30 on the video Rich said that the steel was 75mm down from the ridge is that to allow for the furling strips ?

@mrabuilders6723

Yes that’s to allow the total height of roof coverings inc. Furrings strips, plywood, rubber membrane and also so as not to run straight into the ridge and make it difficult to fit ridge tiles later. Thanks for commenting Kevin 👍🏻

How waterproof is that Tyvek. Ok to use instead of a tarp over the top of my roof? Ta

Tyvek is waterproof and breathable so all good. It’s what it’s designed for. 👍🏻

Would I be correct if I guessed Twenty grand as cost for scaffolding (Hired).

I see your point, but that would massively comprise the head height of the window. If we did what you suggest then the top of the window would be below everyone's head! You'd have to stoop down to look through them! Add the fact that this has been passed by building control, I don't think that there's an issue here at all.

Another interesting video guys. If you ever take on an apprentice, he/she is going to be one lucky person working and learning from you lads. Ps: the half naked guy really does need to cover himself up🫣🫣🫣
