Thanks, Suzy. We're starting to see the end of the project. Just hope that it will all be worth it in the end 😂

Well done guys. Great job would of liked an hour episode as all that's on the TV is propaganda and you guys are so positive and fun to watch and good problem solvers. Thanks for sharing your projects for us to watch

Madness. I started watching your videos when you first started the repairs as I am currently doing the same. But entire rear end for me, shower tray and laminate flooring. I *should* be finished this Sunday. So I hope your close to it also. Good luck. Can't wait to see your latest video update.

I think most mattresses need some ventilation underneath , eg the slats on a wooden bed, that help to prevent moisture build up and mildew. I reckon you could do with some holes in the bed base board to allow a bit of air flow.

Hi Dave, We're replicating a Divan bed design with this one. We'll ofcourse make regular observations to ensure that moisture build up isn't causing a problem. Thanks for your comment!

Only thing I’d say is that bed wants to be slats not a solid piece, reason every bed ever is slats. As gross as this sounds they sweat horribly and that’s go mouldy under there in no time. Solid effort though, I’ve just replaced a wall in mine!

@TheMcNeillsonWheels

Divan beds don't have slats. They do have a wicking fabric layer, which may be required or else we'll drill holes. Ways and means.

Looking good! I’ve jus started the floor in mine how you done yours 😎 but I’ve got to go all the way to the door. Mission! But at the door the floor under the foam is rotten 😢 I’ve now cut it out but have a hole right in front of the door and struggling to think of a way to put in new piece and fix it in place 🤔 as no supporting beams in the door way. Any ideas 💡 I was thinking cut out a bigger hole and build a frame of some kind 🤷‍♂️

Hi Shaun, Tricky place, that one. If it's of a similar design to mine, I know that there is little there to brace from. Without having a look, it's difficult to suggest something. Is there anyone way that you could place timbers going crossways, jointed into the lengthways timbers? Good luck! J

I had same trouble getting the middle window back in. Either side would pop in nicely but centre one was a swine(3times I've had it out). Also, do you think some vertical baton might be advisable halfway along your underbed rectangle pieces. Long span there👍

@TheMcNeillsonWheels

Hello! Glad to hear that we're not alone in the window fitting issues. The battens are 45mm square and have supported 100kg in the middles, so should be okay without. We decided to go for bigger timbers as although heavier, should last longer. Thanks!

Have you thought of nose weight having solid board for bed base and you mentioned under bed storage But you may be going well over your nose weight

Thanks! We use a GoPro Hero 7. The wide angle makes filming inside easier and the stabilisation is also very good. There's a few drawbacks with the GoPro - poor audio, short battery life and unreliability. But, in all, it's a great camera.

Brilliant I've been watching and you have helped me out so much! thank you quick question I've had the same problem with my floor and have been told to over board it? is there a reason you chose not to just overboard ? thanks

@TheMcNeillsonWheels

3 жыл бұрын

It came down to making it strong enough, to be fair, especially as the corner steadies went through the section of floor that was rotten. Additionally, the sides of the floor that joined to the walls were also missing due to the rot. Overboarding covers up the problem but doesn't put strength back in.
