Having a house is a prefect back to woodworking excuse. Thanks for watching!

Yah. I was not great with wearing a mask when I got in a rush

If only it would have lasted long enough to actually pour at least one tea or coffee

Glad you enjoyed it!

Hey, I cover it in the video at 1:10. Not all exterior walls are load bearing, it would depend on how the roof is framed. Because these are trusses, only the front and back walls where the trusses touch are load bearing.

I’m glad you found it helpful! It’s intimidating but not overly difficult.

When you say turf, do you mean fake grass (eg astroturf) or real? If you mean real turf, I don’t think it would work well. It has drainage holes, but not enough for something permeable like grass/real turf. Based on the installs I’ve seen with real grass, they don’t secure them. The dirt and turf form the grout between tiles.

@@MWHomeBuilds hello thank you for getting back to me. I’m thinking about fake grass turf. But I’m wondering how to secure diamond pavers on the panel? do I need like an edge restraint around each pavers?

@@Nnnqqq689 With fake turf, the way i've seen it done is edge restraint on just the outside edges, then filling in between the pavers with crushed stone which locks them together, then sand over that, to set the level required for the turf, then staking the turf into the sand/rock or gluing it to the mortar. Chris Loves Julia did what I think you want to do, and they have a blog about how the professional crew did it. Not hard to emulate I'd think. chrislovesjulia.com/all-about-our-diamond-pavers-and-artificial-grass/ They dont show how they set the stone, but If it were me, I'd put in a stringline to keep each row in line, lay everything, add the stone between (looks like 10mm crush) EVERYWHERE on the patio, compact manually using a mallet and board on edge. keeping it well below the finished height you need. At this point It'd be all locked together. Go back add sand and compact it down keeping it above finished level. then go back after with a T shaped block where the bottom of the T fits between the pavers and it as long as the required final depth. scrape the sand and then follow what they did. Sorry I didnt respond earlier, I didnt get a notification of this comment for some reason.

Thanks for watching! The pavers themselves have integral spaces cast into them that space them off adjacent pavers, so they weren’t needed.

Absolutely it can, but if you take a look at any of the discussions on Green Building Advisor or other similar forums talking about self adhering membrane, continuous foam insulation and the like, many people come out of the woodwork arguing that air sealing external walls causes moisture issues and rot as well.

Absolutely! I have a video coming up on it. It was too nice a stained glass window to get rid of

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks! Appreciate the support!

Thanks!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks! You can do it. It’s a perfect mixture of satisfaction and intense frustration haha!

Good tip. Not sure why I didn’t.

Thanks! I’m glad you’re enjoying it. I appreciate the comment!

The paver bases are designed to be a replacement for a sand bed. Ideally you wouldn’t want a paver patio to settle at all. The locking of a paver patio is the job of the jointing sand that’s applied last.

Thanks!

😂 All to not have to go to the store..

I am! Once this patio series is done, the rest of the exterior is next. If you subscribe, hopefully it’ll alert you!

Yep! I have three to do in the house.

@mikeaid6073 Hey Mike, thanks for watching. Im planning to release videos every week on Fridays. The project is complete just need to finish editing! If you subscribe, hopefully RUclips will let you know when it’s up!
