You should get a cordless impact driver to use along with the drill. A secondhand one of the same brand that uses the same battery would do. You don't have to change bit twice for every screw; it affects workflow and will wear you out very fast physically and mentally. Just think of yourself being kicked out of the bedroom for "incompetency" =))
I hope you can see the massive progress that your hard work and dedication is having on the project. I know living in a house and working on it sometimes it’s hard to see the progress. Yours looks amazing 🙌🏼
Bonjour lorsque l'on bricole c est toujours plus long que prévu peu importe comment vous faites c est souvent le cas...bah c'est pas grave vous avez quand même fini alors 😅super
Well done Lewis! As others have suggested, an impact driver would make it all go easier. Another note is that it is generally considered best practice to use two screws (or nails) vertically offset to sister in a joist in order to prevent potential lateral tipping. Not likely, but it is best practice. That would also possibly involve shims when sistering to cockeyed older joists. Can't argue with your technique - laser level, consistent reference point and measurement. Well done!
Sistering the joists is a good idea! Don't forget, you are going to want a thick layer of insulation on top of the ceiling panels, behind the knee wall. So stop your subfloor where the knee wall begins. Set the bottom plate of the knee wall on the rafters, then you can slide mineral wool or fiberglass insulation beneath the bottom plate and subfloor. Result - No thermal break to leak heat.
I think all the weight transfer between joists and walls is still being taken on the old joists. All the new joist is there for is to level the floor, so weight is being transfered from new joist to old via screws then from old joists to walls if that makes sense?
I hope you can soon treat yourself to a driver so you don't have to keep swapping out the drill and driver bits from a single drill. It's definitely something I wish I had done sooner!
Maybe a simple jig for the joistheight might help? Just a 20cm+spacer high block of wood, you can put on top of the joists while finding the correct position? Thanks for the video!

If you didn't work in or around DJ/music industry in a previous life, I'll eat my hat!

You need an impact driver son. Life changer.
Two drills is pretty much similarly 'life enhancing'.....!

I'll bet you're REALLY annoyingly pedantic.......!!!

Er.....I expect he knows that....he's a smart guy....
.....not a two year old.....
.....actually my cat would know about the insulation.....!!!
👏
👍👍👍. Thank you
Does notching the sister joist reduce its strength? Should joist hangers be used to keep full height of the sister joist?

do it right the first time or you may regret it later.

And use Torx. Only Torx!
@@Ferruccio001 nah.....that's just nerdy ott-ness....!!
