@moulinroche You could've used 45mm (or wider) slats to fill the space and raise the joists to the t.o. the steel beams. Fitting the joist this way would still require notching them to suit the upper flange, so a lot of extra work that is avoided by placing the joists on top. If you've got the height to spare there's nothing against doing it this way. Another bonus is that it is far easier to put pipes and electrics etc. in the floor because the steel beams don't get in the way.
@@tuonratube All very true, we're planning on running the mhvr ducting through the voids between the joist. We have 3m of clearance from ffl to underside of steels and I'm also planning on using the steels to sling lifting equipment when the space is turned into a workshop.
I am not a carpenter and I know you know what your doing but I have never seen a floor built this way. I am used to the boards fitting into the steel beam with the noggins in between. It's cool to see different ways of doing things and I love to learn. That was a lot of work!
I'm so glad you made the switch to the garage--it really looks like an efficient use of your time and funds for now, and it also looks like it will be a great space! Your dad is amazing, and as always, it's just great to see the work in progress.
I really like the format you use with the time lapses and the explanations in between. It lets us see a lot of work being done and still understand what is happening. Great work!
Can you imagine not having that lift, it looks like it's been a really handy thing to have on a site as high as yours. I'm pretty sure you'll be able to make good use of it in the main house as well.👌
interesting, I would have been inclined to use the steel beams, then notched the floor joists to fit inside - then add noggins to hold them in place, it would give you several additional inches of headspace, i think ..... but doing it your way works just as well. cheers!
Hey thanks for watching, the undersides of the joists are almost in line with the tops of the windows so they couldn't be any lower. We still have 3 m clearance from finished floor level to the underside of the steels.
Been awhile since I i last commented, probably something about the self appointed RUclips H&SE commenters, but just wanted to say im glad you decided to carry on posting, and more importantly to develop your property, can't have been an easy decision. GL!
Love watching your videos and so nice when your dad's helping. One thing I don't get is why not buy a static or caravan to live in on site and put all the money your using converting the barn into putting a new roof of your house. Least then your money and time can be building your home. Not wasted on a barm that also needs a roof to be livable in. I don't get it 😕
Will you guys be building the stone wall back up after? Or will you be doing brick? I must admit I’m kinda of sad the stone is gone but I know it was probably not in a ver good state to begin with.
Oh! So you aren’t fitting the joists into the I beams? Any reason why this way is different to Dan and Escape to Rural France where he’s been slotting them into the I beam profile?
When you lay the ply boards perpendicular to the joists if the joists are not parallel to each other you end up having to cut the boards on an angle to land exactly on the middle of each joist. Plus there's always the good old fashioned professional pride in one's work to consider 😁
I saw Dan who's channel escape to rural France put the wooden beams inside the metal beams not resting on then noggings . I am not a builder at know nothing but noticed this 😮
There's two ways to do the joists, like we have done and like Dan. Our way was simply because the steel was taller than the joists. The one problem with Dan's way is that over time the timber will shrink and the OSB panels he uses will ride over the steels and create small humps in the floor.
@@jimcalver-oj4xfPut three builders into a room and you'll get three ways to do the same thing. There's not a right or a wrong way as long as it's structurally sound.
good job but why do you need so many of joist? looks like half of them would be sufficient
They are spaced at 300mm centres with a 5m clear span. The joist size and spacings are always dictated by structural engineers span tables.
Why you didn't put the floor joist in between the I beam, like the guy from Scape to Rural France did?
Our steels are taller than the joists.270mm vs 225mm

I was going to say the same. I’ve never seen it done this way in my many RUclips travels, that is. 😂
Great progress
Looking great will watch with avid interest John from Scotland 🏴
Great having father helping you what a great helper always wanting the best for his family. Another great video a Sunday night treat
Thats a lot of timber.. great work, that floor isn't going anywhere soon thats for sure, take care cheers

Wow, that floor is so beefy it won’t go anywhere for a hundred years, totally amazing!
It's starting to look like a house. 🏡 👍 Great video, thank you for sharing!
Thanks!

Excellent job Pops and Rich can't wait until next weekend.
Travail efficace, comme d'habitude. Bravo
Merci! 😁
Everything's a hammer!
Loved every minute, could watch the digger for hours. Great progress. ❤
Thanks Cindy 👍
We follow your built from the start and we wish you a lot of followers. I think you are right about the bumbs Dan will get. Cheers from Holland.
What a result, you must be feeling really happy with that.👌
What a result!
excellent !
Its all coming together nicely well done to you and your dad ❤
Nice, it is getting somewhere…
Level hammer!
gotta luv the machines
What a team you two are! Rich you handle that digger like it is an extension of you. Wow‼️‼️‼️
Come right along. Thank you for sharing.❤
See a lot of keyboard construction advisors on here. Just do it your way!

Remember that everything is a hammer.
As long as the walk to the real hammer is too great........
SO much progress ! Looking good!
Thank you
Have you seen Escape to Rural France where they cut the ends of the joists to fit inside the steels?
Aye but he is a cowboy

brill job dodgy with chain saw

Looking good!
Great work on the first floor! What's the plan for making the roof and windows weather tight?
👍
By using old fashioned story sticks ,measurements are always constant
Why didn't you let the wooden beams into the steel girders and put them on top instead? That way you lose a lot of space at the top!
Will you guys be building the stone wall back up after? Or will you be doing brick? I must admit I’m kinda of sad the stone is gone but I know it was probably not in a ver good state to begin with.

What will you use for a source of heat?
We're currently undecided between an air source heat pump and a wood fired pellet boiler.
@ i guess the pellet stove is ok unless you go away for an extended period of time and your water pipes freeze.
Soooo, what catastrofe would hit the world when the joists aren't exactly, precisely and superduper perfectly aligned?
When you lay the ply boards perpendicular to the joists if the joists are not parallel to each other you end up having to cut the boards on an angle to land exactly on the middle of each joist. Plus there's always the good old fashioned professional pride in one's work to consider 😁

@moulinrocheThanks for the info 👍
@moulinrocheAgreed, but am also thinking Dan is only using the OSB as a temporary answer to flooring during this phase of construction.
