I wish* I could have hung my Vitodens on the wall… :) But as I was replacing it in the middle of a -40 winter, and didn’t have time to address all the plumbing and pumps on the wall, we welded up a quick frame to “hang” it on so as to most easily and rapidly plumb it in and get it working, without having to move the gas supply from the previous freestanding boiler that had a rather large footprint.
I'm in the proses of buying a house and love what you are doing. Would maybe do the same by lifting the floor and drying everything out. As the survey said there is loads of damp. But when do one get building regs involved. And how.?.
Would have cut concrete pour footing then cement block then backfill and pour concrete floor level of house. Use a finished concrete . Use a foot of insulation in floor. A slab on grade and block can create proper structural walls.
are there any experts on flooring here? I live in the UK's coldest house, and i need to insulate some of our concrete floors. I am looking at 20mm PIR and then 18mm ply. - How much heat will we protect? - We need ply for the furniture weight and longevity. The house is 12c in Summer and 12c in Winter, would the wood floor still suffer from expansion, should i leave gaps? Small amount of damp but shouldn't be a problem as i have put Sika two part down. Use square edge ply or T n G ply? The thickest underlay and wool carpet is going on top, eventually.... as i need chimney fixed !! So we will live with rugs and ply for a while, to avoid dust. Why are there no trusted tradesmen?? Been waiting three years with a leaking cold chimney!! Floor is also nasty thin and bumpy. I need advice please aghh
Interesting indeed! Here in Oz, we call them 'noggings' or the old blokes call them 'dwangs'. And 'noggin' is a head or 'bonce', same as you. I think that maybe 'noggin' instead of 'nogginG' is a mispronunciation brought about by people who don't read or misheard it ... ?
noggin is a drink, nogging is infill between structural members. It can be brick or timber. I have a house with brick noggings between studs (complete infil), an old technique I never seen in modern text books.
Hi - are you connecting the 40/50mm into the 110mm? I need to do this for a small downstairs toilet I'm converting from an understairs cupboard. As I understand you should only connect into vertical 110mm and not horizontal or at an angle, unless it comes in from the top. Is this what you've found too? I'm very interested to see how this timely video evolves. Thanks.
Great videos, will be doing a similar job soon. Bit worried though as I am only raising a garage floor by 120mm, suspect I may be running the joist on some DPC and a mortar bed below. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Haha! Really should be able to work in both anyway. Globally both units are used. Usually its the younger Europeans who can`t do imperial units. Then again I suppose if you are from the U.S. you won`t ever do metric either.
American over here. Perfectly fluent in both metric and what we call SAE (Standard American English), which you refer to as Imperial. In the video just previous to this one he did refer to his floor joists as 2x6. I think he said his span was 4.2 meters. If I’m remembering that correctly, there’s no way I would trust 2x6s as a floor joist for that span without a mid-span reinforcement structure. That’s just me. I’ve been known to ‘overbuild’...but my builds don’t fail.
Just a tip that you might find helpful use your large roofing square as a saw guide for your circular,saves following a pencil line
Not bad ,, kip up the good work.. and thanks to get the info to others....
Your videos are great, very informative and always gives me ideas of what I can do !! Thanks.
Bilbo Noggins is my favourite Lord of the Rings character.
Rate ya for doing the work yourself and not relying on tradesmen who for the most part take no pride in their work

Concrete slabs are horrible, cold and hard on the back. Suspended timber floors all the way, warm and nice to stand on, 👍🔨🎄🇮🇪
nice work mate well done
Was the plumbing for the original toilet underground and you raised the floor and relocated it?

Do the work yourself, you're never going to find a trustworthy tradesman in the UK in my experience. Dodgy lazy bastards 90% percent of em
Great video bud
Here in Scotland what you call noggins we call dwangs, 😋 I’ve never liked the word noggin, here in Scotland it means “head”.

Bridgers or noggin's in Ireland, 👍🔨🎄🇮🇪

Good work.
Shouldn’t the 90 bend be a sweeping bend?
Why is my shed leaking?

Don't forget to vent the subfloor....
Yes, vents going back and side. 👍
Hi Tim, did you get the results back from the lab on the roof?
Yeah all regular asbestos panels as I thought. Should have them gone next week though and new roof started. 👍
The Restoration Couple nice, another job well done so far! Best of luck with the rest of it.
Hey Tim at 4.40 on the old masonry wall (where the spirit level is pointing) what are the two cut ins for ? fireplace?
90 elbow would be better to use 2x45
Nice woodwork

Floating floor or insulation with screed perhaps. No need for joists at that height.
seems like you are doing things the long way round or doing them twice :/
How's a good time to bury any bodies!
minor: don't like the music
Hey man can't you talk inch cause I don't understand you're measure
It’s quite complicate to refer to other type of units of measurement if you are familiar with just one..
Haha! Really should be able to work in both anyway. Globally both units are used. Usually its the younger Europeans who can`t do imperial units. Then again I suppose if you are from the U.S. you won`t ever do metric either.
Metric all the way baby.
American over here. Perfectly fluent in both metric and what we call SAE (Standard American English), which you refer to as Imperial.

Joseph Erwin It’s Imperial because that’s what it is!
