It's great to see how you work with your dad. I love working with my own dad now on my bigger projects but not sure I appreciated labouring to him when I was growing up.... but looking back I greatly appreciate the skills learned.
Absolutely nothing wrong with 22mm caberfloor. I’ve used it on literally 100’s of jobs and it goes down a dream (as does 18mm for upper floors). Yes, a long term leak can cause issues, but as you say, there’s more to worry about here than the floor! The caberfloor glue is really good, but is expensive so for my own house I’d probably go with pva too. Also works really well for floating floor structures where screws aren’t an option. Great vid as always, thanks for sharing 👍
I built a floor in a large shed with that type of green chipboard. The shed was in a pretty humid part of the garden, and I used it for 4 years before we moved and it didn't have any issues. I also used the same chipboard on the roofing. Again, no probs. I'd use it again without hesitation! Its cheap and tough. What more could you want? :)
Combi drill for screwing into timber rather than impact driver, it has more torque and less noise, an impact drill is a different thing though …. enjoying the vids, top banana !
ive been trying to choose a subfloor for my 2nd floor extension over a garage ive costed chipboard, plywood and pine floorboards. ive been put off chipboard but i reckon people who have squeaky floors is due to lack glue and screws. one thing im wondering is about a vapour barrier. if im going over a cold garage i was thinkin i need a vapor barrier on the warm side. but how would i glue the board to the joist with the polythene underneath?
I just glued board to board and screwed down. Most squeaking is nails or wood on wood so the vapour barrier would prevent boards squeaking on joists and screws should stop everything anyway. That’s just my theory anyway and all good to date.
Yeah that flooring pretty damn hardy, OSB3 on other hand totally overrated . Only became popular as used so much on new builds and it purely cost/easy supply that it used so much. Unless I on a job where price is sensitive I will be using decent ply over osb3, even osb4 not great and it same price as decent ply roughly . Screws way go on floor, pulls it tighte, resits warping better, less noise and easier tweak/strip up . Bit upset you didn't put foot through, I would of I think :-)
The Restoration Couple Ah, that explains it. I thought I saw another child (blurred out) during Eden’s car repair video but assumed it was the child of a visiting friend/relative/neighbor. (Unless that was the case and your foster child was not that one.) Very generous to open your home and heart to a child in need.
Tim, absolutely nothing wrong with that 22mm moisture resistant chipboard flooring, architects actually specify its use I would like to see someone apply glue to the joists before laying this kind of floor coz it would be rather messy and pointless as most of the time the boards are being dragged and moved over/across the joists so i cant imagine much glue being left on the joists

Tim you are a right tease with your three second stud montage at the end, you are going a bit Hollywood on us!
Little tip, don’t screw the edge where the next board goes until it’s in, then it will be easier to install the board and nip the join in tight :)
Great job and nothing wrong with spec using the 22mm moisture resistant chipboard, it’s good enough and often specked by architects 😎👍
I have used it in a workshop and build a boat on it over a suspended floor like yours..totally bombproof and so durable.

Floated it in the other room and it’s very solid. Nearly picked up the caber glue but had old glue to use up. 👍
Welcom to,I FROM ALGERIA
I like this job So much
I Work in plumer
Just discovered your channel, loving your vids. keep up the good work 👍
fantastic videos mate. i love the attention to detail. i dont know where you find the time with having kids to do everything you've done
Looking great!
I'm a couple of steps behind, just need to get the first fix plumbing in then insulate and get the subfloor back down!
Great job

Oh.... what make is that "instant bench" that looks great.. is it strong?.. fantastic videos by the way
Notification squad! Great progress, Tim. Keep it coming!
Good work! If you were to do the roof again, would you consider the chipboard over the OSB?
I would probably just buy a better brand osb.
Did you make a trapdoor for underfloor access or will you just break out the Sawzall if the need arises?
Access door from the other room. 👍
Sweet, you have the same hair cut 🤣
It’s taken years to perfect!
Only just found this . No sign of a building inspector! Will they sign it off without checking out construction methods?
Yep, visits at each stage. 👍
It should move pretty fast from now on!
Hope so!

Phonetic english, I gather?
yeah as found in the cambridge dictionary, used more in american english than british english ...
I was not trying to be bitchy. Sorry if you are offended.
No offense taken my friend ...
Still no resin floor video from your dads garage
'Little one asleep'??? Has your new addition arrived?
I suspect he means Faith since the third is not expected until late May.
No our little one is due in May however we are also fostering. 👍
