- Completing the skirtings and architraves on the first floor of the loft conversion series. I'll go through how I do things and some little tips I use to help myself achieve the best results
There is always someone out there that will say something nasty, there so full of themselves! And such boring people, you can only do your best! I think you're all great!!!!!
great job. sometimes I run around with a starrett protractor and check angles on outside corners if I think they might be well off the 90. always write the angle on the wall. protractors are great around bay windows etc. Thanks for sharing. top stuff.
Those stud detectors look good, I have never found a good one yet great work BTW
Really fantastic video. Thank you. I am now scribbling squares and triangles when I walk into a room.
😁Thanks Andy glad you enjoyed the video Merry Christmas 🎄
Nice to see scribing by hand. It was how I was taught, we had pine skirting too! Top work. 👍
Hi Liam and thanks for commenting. I was the same mate I loved pine skirting but I need to get with the times apparently 😂. MDF never scribes as nice. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Also following Perkins Brothers. Also that bit magnet on their tool belt is gold !
Must admit that I caulk more because also along the whole top of the skirting.
Perkins is a great channel and I have just purchased their tool belt they designed and have been using it for a couple of weeks now. It is excellent the best one I’ve had. Thanks for commenting on our channel. 👍🏻
Good video mate, lots of top tips - keep them coming 👍
Thanks and glad you liked it , there’s plenty to come from us all👍🏻
Great tips!
Cheers Derek
That was a really informative video. I picked up lots from it.
Shame Mrs Giggles wasn’t on the camera when the frame nearly fell over🤣 I really miss that girl❤️
Cheers Billy as always for your kind comments to all of our videos. She’s gone into retirement now from camera person she’s gonna stick to her day job but who knows in the future she may pop up with no warning 👍🏻
Nicely done pal 👍
Thank you Chris Merry Christmas 🎄 👍🏻
@@mrabuilders6723 you too mate 👍
I noticed that the door frames to the bedrooms are rebated, I am aware it's a loft conversion but is this necessary for your BI to sign off. Worked on domestic houses with loft conversions before and the linings were always 28mm thick. What thickness timber are they made from ?
Hi Kevin. I have used planted stop fire door frames before but they are generally 1 hour frames which means the rebate would be 25mm. There is only 1/2 hour required in this scenario and if you buy fire door frames you will/should get a substantial frame. In this instance I can’t remember the exact size but they were the equivalent to having a machined 150mm x 50mm timber with a rebate in👍🏻
👌
Cheers Brian
I generally end up +1 or -1 * on each miter these days, I'm just doing it now out of habit and finding miters nice and tight rather than marking the back
Hi Gavin thanks for commenting. It’s habit for me now to do it that way and takes no extra time but if I just got on with it, fitted perfect mitres/scribes and said how good am I people wouldn’t watch or hurl abuse. 😁😁👍🏻
Rip the architrave down before u glue them together and hang your doors first then u can move the lining out if u need to.
Can’t disagree with you but if you missed it in the video I was plowing ahead and trying to film and the put the architrave together on the one I scribed by mistake and whenever we film anything we always show what went wrong as well. With regards to the doors on first again, I agree but the amount of time between the linings going in and the door hanging they may have got damaged or covered in plaster. They have had oak doors so didn’t want to risk the potential damage.
Thanks for commenting mate appreciate your time.
excellent work
Thanks Andy 👍🏻
I didn't see any external or outside miters being installed. Pin and glue? Or another method?
Sorry John can’t remember what I put in the video now but I always mitre bond and pin my mitres. Thanks for watching
I always scribe and mitre architrave where can’t get a full piece. For me least the profile follows all the way round. Other than that awesome job 👍🏼👍🏼
Hi Matthew thanks for commenting. As I said in the video It would have meant cutting into the moulding of the torus architrave and I don’t like it. Any other time I’d do the same and put a bastard mitre in the top architrave 👍🏻
@@mrabuilders6723 that’s fair enough mate still a smart job 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks you mate
What's the red pencil your using brand name
Hi Alan. It’s a Hultafors dry marker pencil. I’ve done a tool belt review on our channel that goes through everything I carry day to day if you wanted to know more. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Your work looks great the plastering is terrible
I agree with half of that statement and I know that the other half is complete unfounded nonsense, I'll leave you to have a rethink and work out which is which! Have a great day!
I think you need to take a good look at the room you did the skirting in
Send me the time on the video that you're referring to please, Lola.
Scribing architraves into the wall LOL what a fck up 😂 this is what happens when you don’t think ahead when putting door casings in! I’d make him move the door casing over
What the fuck are you going on about?
Well said Justin I couldn’t have put it better myself. There is only one person that appears to not no what he is talking about. 👍🏻
Not thinking ahead Joey would be the radiator specified for the size of the bathroom and the width of a bath going on the other side of the wall not fitting now that’s thinking ahead me old China . I tell my children don’t gob off until you know what your talking about and you have all the facts and this comment is a prime example. I hope you have a pleasant evening and thanks for taking the time to comment on our channel 👍🏻
Mate it’s a fck up lol if that was my house then I’d make you move it
Go ahead and keep commenting Joey it does wonders for our analytics but you have no impact at all on us cos we only listen to intelligent people 😂👍🏻
get yourself a fastcap scribe by far the best scribe on the market in my opinion
I’m a lover of tools and anything else that makes the job better so I’ll take a look at that and give you a shout out when I buy one and use it for the first time 👍🏻
