Could really go down a rabbit hole with this kind of thing. It is so true, you will be less lucky siting on your sofa than you will be being out and about.

Thanks mate, very nice of you to say. Sometimes I probably sound chilled because I’m speaking so slowly trying not to mess up my words lol. I should hopefully document everything but I’m happy to discuss any part of the build 👍🏻

Thanks Mark, hopefully you’ll see some changes on site this week. How is your project coming on have you sorted the insulation?

@@StephenKnowlesProperty thanks Stephen. i have scaled back a little. We decided to just do the internal part of the garage rather than the whole and put a stud wall between the internal/external bits. that way we don't need a new roof/new garage door, it was looking too expensive. also looking a little cold to start the works at the moment so will probably start in spring... will be watching with interest how you resolve your insulation mate.

Thanks @benjaminfisher5809 appreciate that. The people that called me are people I know from work or friends in general lol and like I say its really nice they would call and say that but I think interaction on here is also good for the channel so thanks again!

@benjaminfisher5809 Have a look at some of the car tax increases for next April, you will be in shock!

I understood it was to prevent damp?

Hi @markdyballuk I will add links to the discerption re insulation. From what I've read there is 2 types: YBS Superquilt and YBS Superquilt trade, the website says "it should be noted that YBS SuperQuilt Trade is not certified for building control and is typically utilised for enhancing existing insulation or projects that do not require a specific U-value." You will need to understand if you are aiming for a U value for a conversion or a new build element because there are higher standards for new build elements over converted elements. I had a bit about it in last weeks video and I flashed up the tables but I will try to link them here too. If I said right to the floor in the video then I meant built down to the existing as apposed to being built from the finished floor level, but you are 100% right from everything I've read there should be gap to stop cracking from expansion and to stop water from being sucked up by the plasterboard. I hope you find the Superquilt info useful by all means message me on instagram to discuss.

@@benjaminfisher5809the plasterboard? Yes to stop damp / moisture from the ground being sucked up by the plasterboard.

@@StephenKnowlesProperty thanks very much for your reply Stephen, I appreciate it. Yes, I found the tables previously and the u-values seemed excellent and well within building control requirements for our floor which are .15... I haven't seen the "not certified" bit... Anyway I was going to contact Ecohome this week (hopefully) and see if it will work for us. I'll let you know if I hear anything. Thanks also for the info I shall have a look now. Hope you have a good week. all the best

Hi so building control is asking for you to hit 0.15? When you reply let me know exactly what your project is.

🤦🏻‍♂️😂

😂

I had never seen anything like it

Hoping for March, the contractor says a bit longer but 🤞🏻

🥳

Thanks really appreciate it, show have week 4 out today!

Hi Billy yes we will talk costs. I think I will talk about them as we go through the weeks and probably do a stand alone video to pull them all into 1 place. We have worked on 30% profit before finance costs. The reason we’ve done it like this is because there are a lot of variables in the finance costs, but overall you want min 20% profit.

Thanks Billy for now they will be called the big dog and the small dog.. maybe I will reveal their true identities later 😂

Thanks 👍🏻

My plan is to be a hippy.. when I have the money to live that life 😃

You comment well help me to better thanks 😃

😂😂

It looked worse in person!

No idea

Yh that will be the time!

That’s the one 😂

If Keir built a wall it would look like this for sure😂

Cheers Jon thanks for commenting 🎉

Congratulations @jondeadman5440 you were picked at random for the £100!

Thanks for taking the time to comment 👍🏻

Thanks for commenting 👍🏻

Thanks for the comment 💪🏻

How you toing?

Was in Croydon so very likely MBM. From where I was standing it honestly looked like they’d just stacked a load of blocks up. The finish on the houses wasn’t great either tbh.

Is this your preferred consistency?

They are used like it all the time otherwise why would they carry 30+ metres of hose as a standard? Often you’ll be booming up to high and then running hose or through a window etc. Tbf the customer orders the truck and then we just turn up some customers don’t want to pay the money for the longer boom or they just get the length wrong or expect you to setup somewhere you can’t. it’s also still easier to move around the site and it also means you are less likely to damage the plastic on the side of the footing.

I’m not sure what that means but I appreciate the comment 👍🏻

Thanks for the comment 👍🏻

😂 the customer is always right 😅

Yh it’s a W40 mix 😂😂

😂 I was paid to operate the pump the mix is controlled by the contractor, I’m not an engineer but look how much steel is in there!

Ground beams are full of water anyway chase the water to a point to pump out it’s concrete no cement

@@Micky-c9e100% mate. I would say 8 times out of 10 the contractor wants the concrete “too wet” but 8 out of 10 buildings are not falling down so it’s probably ok. I was going to mention the cement vs concrete point too 😂

You shouldn’t be commenting on something you have no idea about. Calling concrete cement is like calling a cake flour

That’s cause it ain’t cement dick weed

😮 hahaha didn’t see it till you pointed it out 🤦🏻‍♂️

@@StephenKnowlesProperty You need to to better ;p

⁠​⁠@@UKCBurnsyI most definitely to (do) 😂

I know right ! Like duh

Thank you so much!!
