Doing a great job, you amongst other channels have given me and my family the confidence to offer on a 22 acre smallholding in wales- hopefully we’ll be in by April next year! Before you order the triple glazing check out vacuum glazing… far superior product and doesn’t condensate. Triple glazing isn’t as good as people say and the fact that every morning they fog up and you can’t see out of them until they warm up. Thought I’d share this with you in case you didn’t know👍
Tim, “ask me how I know moment” take off your wedding ring or any finger rings on site. I forget all the time but I got caught recently on a screw on a door frame a few weeks back and nearly did some damage. NO GLOVES WITH POWER SAWS AND NO RINGS ON FINGERS! BTW gloves with a table saw can pull your hand into the saw so not good.
Just listening to you talking about your triple glazing & thought I would mention what I have found since having my new windows fitted, they condensate on the outside & you can’t see out!!. I was going to have triple glazing but was advised it was a waste of time!, I was thinking of you & your lovely view being lost with all that glass, my mums has just experienced the same thing. Hope this may help!, projects looking great.👍
Must admit that was my thought too, surely it's inherently stronger to have the horizontal beam sat on top of the column beams rather than relying on the welds and bolts to take all the weight.
Must be a reason but yes it does often make me think twice. Look at every big steel framed building or warehouse and all steel members bolt between columns so must be stronger. 🤷♂️
The bolts are plenty strong enough and it stops tortion on the beam. If it is placed on top you still have to plate the end to stop tortion making more work overall
I can to ask the same thing - messed with my head and still don’t fully understand the physics behind it but nice to know I wasn’t alone in my thought process 😂
Just screw nailed top and bottom but then all the boards will be nailed over joins plus battens both side etc. it’s really only a filler piece between windows. 👍
Just struggling to understand why you have breathable board on the outside and vapor poof on inside? If I recall you are using MHVR so surely it would have better to have the vapor proof board on the outside and then there is no chance of getting the blown in insulation wet which would degrade the R Value. PLUS you would not have required the external barrier you installed making a saving on that cost too?? Matt Risinger talks about this style of house building as Monopoly framing as it looks like monopoly pieces.
Vapour barrier must always be on the warm side. (I’m a colder climate) It’s different than moisture from weather which needs to be dealt with differently. In this case the internal board is creating the controlled internal space by being airtight and also preventing vapour entering the wall. The outer side is completely breathable to ensure that the wall remains dry and no moisture can become locked up in there and lead to condensation.
@@TheRestorationCouple i'm in the UK too. My point is that I thought you were installing MVHR? That will deal with moisture internally (you will require a condensate drain for it). Installing the Green OSB (seems the same as ZIP board in the USA) externally provides you with both an Air and Vapor barrier in one (using tape on the joints). In the USA they also have a fluid applied sealant they put on nail penetrations this is similar to our polymer sealants. This also protects your blown in insulation from the risk of getting wet from the weather (which degrades the insulation factor) Outside of the Green OSB will be some sort of screening, usually installed with a gap to allow for air flow (the same method you used on the cabin). Internally everything then becomes part of the conditioned space. If you want to install a second internal layer of boarding for rigidity, fine, and then plasterboard or whatever you choose as an internal finish. So by flipping the Green OSB with the Insulating Board you would have increased your overall insulation, still retained your Air & Vapor barrier and would not have required the silver wrap you installed externally......saving money?
Controlling humidity in the building doesn't change the fact that warm air with moisture in it will condense if it travels to the cold side of the insulation. You're not going to have bone dry air, nor do you want it.
@@MagicianMan You raise some interesting points - no expert here but I once read MVHR does not deal with moisture totally as there is a lag effect on bringing the levels down. Think the bottom line is designs go with what has worked in the past, the silver wrap is needed to stop water reaching the OSB plus does boost the effectiveness of the cladding, it is also needed as protection before the cladding goes on.
i used to work out of them lifts many years ago also worked out of the biggest in the country 204 feet straight up on the back of a volvo truck roger our operator took us up full stick as we could not operate them great fun dont take you long when you set your mind to it really getting there great vid again fella
The Germans recently tried the same thing with BSP plumbing fittings, with fairly limited success. They picked a more sensible approach back when they went metric (1870s I think) by simply re-defining the pound as 500 g. People continued to use the old unit for over a 100 years but it fitted the new system quite nicely.
At what point do you tell the family that this is your new workshop and they’re going to continue to live in the “caravans”?
Haha!!
😂
Fantastic progress. Well done, I’m so enjoying watching this!
Thanks so much! 😊
Very impressive
That Forklift drive up for the beam fixing was masterful. 👏👏👏
WOW, such progress. You'll be in by Christmas!
Great job between two blokes.
Doing a great job above and beyond keep going
Brilliant progress being made!!
The Manor is born ,well done
Another great video 👍 Progress is looking great and always makes me eager for the next update
When welding, put dogo away, they can get arc eye burns just like us but you cannot tell them not to look! 👀

Looks like you're wrapping a huge Christmas present for Jo! 😁
That or a huge turkey!
Amazing so far , how quick it’s coming along , I actually find myself disappointed in the evenings when no video shows up . Keep them coming please ..
Starting to look potentially residential!

insta-click within 2 seconds of watching.
so so glad this place is clad now (or getting there) . ready for the naff weather
White tires on the lift are for concrete finished floors. Just so ya know..😊
I know nothing about steels. Interesting the cross beam goes between ‘posts’ rather than on top as the load is all downwards.
Great progress chaps
Yeah it’s a bit different from being used to timbers bearing on the posts.
Must admit that was my thought too, surely it's inherently stronger to have the horizontal beam sat on top of the column beams rather than relying on the welds and bolts to take all the weight.

Curious to know how you secured custard cream sandwiches to the cross beam. Great video!

Where is Jo in all of this? Not supervising?

Why are those boards green?
It’s an airtight vapour barrier coating.
@TheRestorationCouple thanks! Never seen that colour before.
What’s the product called?
Smartply passive I think. It’s made by Medite.

I love how the UK has gone metric. 254mm is so much easier than 10 inches.

Ye are sucking Diesel now lads..
@1:19 what were you thinking?! 😮 🪜
LOL - think picking a Werner was asking for trouble too mate.
