Good job Mark I have missed most of this build as working away building stone so will have to sit down with a big mug of tea and a cake and spend a few hours watching it from the start now I am home 👍
i always find making the old building meet the new extension is always where the problems arise and always a ball ache ....cracking job mate some graft in that 1 .....keep up the good work mark love the vids
Ha ha think it was my forty fith go 😂😂. Yere the pool table was at the other side of the wall. Had to move it to take old floor. Them bloody things are heavy will need a crain to get it out 😂😂😂👍👍👍
Making a cracking job of that extension, Mark.👍 I had the exact same job of building dwarf walls to support new joists recently.....what a pain in the arse of a job it was!😂😂 Hope you are keeping busy, I'm finding there are not enough hours in the day at the moment.....it's crazy!
😂😂They are a bit of a pain ant they lol. Yere got a fair bit booked in. Turned a few down I don't like weekend work lol. Got quite a few little jobs after this. Getting plans sent for another extension minght do a short vid showing them maybe a bit of how I price. Do you think it worth doing a short vid about it.👍
Hi Mark, another great video mate 👍. You could have used masonary hangers on that block wall mate & used your new grinder to slot them 😜😉. We always had to use chicken wire under ceiling joists to hold the insulation, that was so burning insulation wouldn't fall on firemen in event of a fire. Hope you have a great weekend mate 👍 Regards Tim
@@markhep Thats it mate wont take long now that most the heavy work is done I think once you have it skimmed out will be flying then whats going on outside flat render or dash
@@macplastering I didn't want that part of the job. Its a bit over my skills. We have some guys coming in to put a first coat render on with mesh then a colour top coat minght. Try and vid some of it if they let me 👍
Looking very good mark you’d turn your hand to anything I’d say . . That’s a nice lump hammer . I have a set of screw drivers of that brand ( b and q stuff ) and there decent stuff.
@@markhep I’m a decorator thats been on sites doing all sorts for years now and that’s sick of watching other people get rich lol. Bought my own property to develop myself.
@@ConstructionwithKieren Yere mate try and record everything now some are interested. And some not too much. But better than not putting a vid on lol👍👍👍
Hi Mark thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. what kind or size fixing did touuse to attach the board to the wall ( the one you drilled through) thank you
I used 100mm there are plenty of fixings to use. There are bolts too. The ones I used were concrete screws but you need to use plenty of these and put washers on. But really easy to use drill 6.5mm hole then they just screw in. 👍
Hi mate yes we put them telescopic vents in should have put that in vid I allways forget to video something lol. Yere i stopped buying the expensive grinders. Find the cheap ones as good👍👍👍
@@MrGlenfraser hi Glen I done a few before and put a wall plate on inner and outer skin. Then just put insulation and cladding over the wall plate to cover it. But you Could do with getting building control out. just say I want to do it like this would it be OK. I usley pick what's best for me and get them out and say I want to do it like this. And they minght say OK if not they usley tell me the best way to get round it. That's like the way I want to do it. Hope this helps a little some are OK but some inspectors moan about cold bridge👍if not I like the first drawing that looks the easiest and less expensive one
10.03 anyone else notice the joist trampoline he's building. Wow that's a bit bouncy. Least mum will save a some money when kids need one for the summer.
@@markhep thanks for the prompt reply.....really enjoying your videos. Also, is it cheaper to do it this way than putting in the concrete as wouldn't that be more long lasting?
Hi Mark what are your spacings between the joists? I’m building my extension and the drawings (which building control passed) state 600 centres with sleeper wall through the middle. But the joiner has come to fit the joists and says the centres should be 400. What do you think?
Hi mate I done mine at 450. But if your joiner wants to do them at 400. I would put them in at that. You will only probley need 2 or 3 more. So won't be that expensive and you know you won't have any problems later on. 600 does seem a big span 👍👍👍
Hi there if the house is joined to another one they normally run the length of the house. But it could run anyway the builder wanted to put them in . It's in possible to be sure with out looking under the carpet or flooring 👍
1. i only spotted what looked like a single air brick - a 9" x 3" on the back wall. Lack of air bricks means lack of through ventilation. 2. you blocked off ventilation at the break-thro cav wall with the solid blocking? 3. at the same place you dropped stubby posts from the joists down on to the oversite - what for? what were they supporting? 4. No need for packing up with some brickwork below the new joist tail at the cav wall - why? In fact doing that could give later problems with creaking. The old & the new joists only need supporting once as they cross over. 5. in that blockwork the ledger needed stronger fixings than you used. 6. you used the wrong kind of hangers - check the Simpson manual for the correct ones.
I mike we put 6 air bricks in the extension 3 at each side and left big gaps in original wall the posts were put in to hold it wile the cement went off we later removed these 👍
This is super interesting. If you were doing a new build that needed to have wet rooms screeded. Would you do the screeding before the floor joists (knowing how high the floor will end up being? Then would you plaster before laying the floor boards?

Another good bit of work mark, at what point are you done on this job? Or do you do all of it ie plasterboarding/plaster etc..?🔨
Hi mate. Yere I down for the boarding and plastering and skirtings on. Not down for the bathroom but you neather now lol👍👍👍

Good vids mate negative comments got lost.
Lol 😂😂👍 put a comment on the new pointing vid I doing small give away on a blade👍👍👍you minght win
Which sort of tradesman is best to call out to level a ceiling/floor?
I would call a joiner or handyman 👍
Good video mate. You can't beat a B and Q cheapie. How is the air flow maintained under the floor Mark. Are there air bricks in the extension.
Hi mate yes we put them telescopic vents in should have put that in vid I allways forget to video something lol. Yere i stopped buying the expensive grinders. Find the cheap ones as good👍👍👍
@@markhep Cheers Mark. I thought it would be the telescopic fellas. 👍👍
Great to see your work on this project, I'm going to drop you an email tomorrow.
Thanks fraser 👍👍👍
@@markhep Sent it late last night, might be something you can give me a steer on but might not. Thanks Glen

What bolts did you use to side side beam to concrete block
Hi Mark just put in a lot of concrete screws with washers on 👍
10.03 anyone else notice the joist trampoline he's building. Wow that's a bit bouncy. Least mum will save a some money when kids need one for the summer.
Lol you right mate the beam had a slight bow on it. Once the weight of the boards went on it settled down fine 👍
Hi, i want to put the same floor in my extension, do you have to concrete under it, can see you have?
Cheers
Hi mate yes we had to put at least 50mm concrete under it. They usley ask for 50mm to 100mm concrete under the joists 👍👍👍
@@markhep great thanks, love the videos learnt so much
Do you put the crown of the joist upwards??
Yes mate these ones were pritty flat 👍
Hi Mark, a naive question but why didn't you put concrete entirely instead of the joists?
Hi the old floor was joists so we did the same for the new. We could have done it eather way👍👍👍👍
@@markhep thanks for the prompt reply.....really enjoying your videos. Also, is it cheaper to do it this way than putting in the concrete as wouldn't that be more long lasting?

Hello, how would you identify floor joist direction on ground floor without lifting the carpet or laminate? Thank you.
Hi there if the house is joined to another one they normally run the length of the house. But it could run anyway the builder wanted to put them in . It's in possible to be sure with out looking under the carpet or flooring 👍
@@markhep thank you Mark. I want to buy a 6ft tank (6ft x 21 inches width x 2ft ) and unsure if the floor can hold it.
Yes you definitely need some good support for that lol👍👍👍
@@markhep could they be run diagonal?

Are you just planning on screening the wet room then timber the rest of it
You can have a wet room on a timber floor.you cut a tray into the joists then put a wet room membrane down and tile over
I would lay floor boards first 👍
