Lovely product mate one problem clients don’t want to pay £17 a length for 4x2 stubs because they struggle to understand the benefits of using better products unless it’s a kitchen or some fancy bi fold doors there’s no way any of my clients would pay for it Great work great channel keep it going robin top man 👍🏻
Wouldn't it be great if all buildings were built with this much accuracy and care, alas we can dream, lol. Top work guys, thanks for sharing it with us. Cheers.
We fix our gib board horizontally nowadays, but we avoid having nogs behind the join to prevent cracking. We rely on tape and plaster for strength in the joins.
I used to build timber frame houses and we generally worked to your standards. Now, the bulk of timber frame is just cheap cheap cheap. Knock it up as fast as possible and worry about the problems after. How do you find the clients willing to pay for the extra attention to detail?
Another brill video but I've got to say you must have done very well for your self in your business to have a house like that plus all other bits. Nothing wrong with been successful I've not seen many people in the trades with a House like yours
If you watch enough of Robins videos, there’s plenty of hints along the way of how he developed previous properties he’s owned / flipped and of course there’s been the combination of property price growth and he does all the work himself so saves a fortune and fair play to him!
Those 4x2s work just fine in dry conditions. Put them outside in the rain and most of the gluejoints fail. Excellent for interior work, not for outside
😂 relaxation room! You’re never stop building because you love it. I bet after it’s all done you’re sit down for ten minutes before you’re off grabbing tools for the next project.
We’re so far behind in the UK in comparison to our counterparts in Australia, Canada and the US in the availability of decent engineered timber products. Just a shame we don’t seem to get LVLs, LSLs or even TGI joists readily available at timber merchants, it would help avoid the massive amounts of steel we seem to be putting in roofs these days.
As usual nice neat work you are doing there. Would an option have been to first lay the floor insulate, run your ufh pipework and screed before doing the studwork? I think if possible that is a better sequence. Allows continuous insulation layer, easier to achieve perfect screed and less faffing with the stud sole plates. None of the studwork is loadbearing, or doesn't appear to be transferred to footings at least, so having them laid on the screed ~= to laying them on the slab? Regardless, I'm nit picking it's a great job you've done and those Tru-stud looks like a great product.
I've been using Tru stud for years but the problem now is compared to "normal" 4x2 it's just to expensive, currently over twice the price. I love to use it but it's hard to justify the price.
Mate unbelievable building your creating there. Every item and detail top spec and done literally perfectly. Hats off to you. Can’t wait to see the finished product. Also what laser do you use?
Robin, What are the economics of using lightweight blockwork vs studding. I am a DIYer, but would have naturally gone for a lightweight blocks on a job like this
I'm not a builder, but enjoy the practical aspects of your videos. There is a spelling mistake on the opening page it says sraight rather than straight! Oops! Cheers from Brittany France
@@ukconstruction You're such a "straight" and unpretentious guy, your tips are absolute gold and I've so enjoyed watching you tackle so many tasks, trestles, decking etc. Admirable that you give the youngsters a chance. (I'm a teacher of young adults)
the insulated plasterboard i have dealt with have never been square, is it the same for you? they are always glued together out of square from my experience. its a nightmare!
There are far better prices for the material if you call a supplier of the product, and from my experience my customers given the choice pay the extra for the better result, it is the same deal as so many things in life.... some people are happy to by Mercedes cars others would only buy skoda....
Have you noticed Robin - The harder you work, the luckier you get !!!

thats going to be some fine build when its done.
Robin when this done i am going to invite myself up mate. What a place your building. Absolutely stunning
As a building inspector of 30 years standing, I'd be hard pressed recall timber framing as good as yours...smashing
Thank you Peter, I will take that compliment!! I bet you could tell some stories of what you see when it comes to being a Building inspector!!!!

Hey robin. How did you get the 1.130 and 1.142 measurements? . Thank you
You make it look too easy! Fantastic work there, keep the good stuff coming 💪
This timber will make hanging doors and door linings very easy.

Where are the plastic shims available from?
Was that your dear wife? Enjoying the garden room build!!
Inspiring work.
Another great video.
Do you level the lower plate that is fixed to the floor through the plastic spacers?

Would be great to hear more thoughts on this.
great work
Great work as usual Robin.. are your roofing squares out yet to purchase, can’t seem to find them anywhere? Cheers
Didn’t know tilbury had been relocated to London
Back in the day of the £10 Pom, Tilbury was the actual port of embarkation, whilst London appears on the ships itinerary.

What are your boots Robin?
How much more is that stuff going to cost than treated 2x4 per m?
the insulated plasterboard i have dealt with have never been square, is it the same for you? they are always glued together out of square from my experience. its a nightmare!
Hi Henry, the insulation is not always lined up with the attached board edge and we trim them flush and they are good then, it is annoying mate!!
robin's got good wood... yuk yuk
4th or 5th one in from the left on top don't look that straight to me
What's sraight timber mean?.
it means 'type-o' I would guess
What plastic is that, from which you cut the shims?
It's plastic plywood.
