- In this episode I will fit the new timber ceiling in the kitchen area to give us a flat and level area to reboard and skim. I will also go through some dos and don'ts if you are doing this job for yourself.
The Electrician's Guide to the building Regulations (from The IET) is a great reference as regards making holes in joists. From memory it also discusses pipes and ducts.
That will look great when plastered Richard. Rather an elegant solution to an uneven ceiling 👍👍👍
Job is coming on nicely Rich. Still no bridging in the floor joists for additional structural support ?? Rock on, keep the vids coming pls, it's a pleasure to watch a professional being so proud of work that is going to be covered up !!
Lighting wise I like to fit ultra slim led tube lights behind the hanging cupboard plinth. That way I have continuous, even, light directly over the work surface and I'm not so worried about casting a shadow on the work top.
Love the work lads ❤
You could drive a car on that mate its only holding a bit of plasterboard 😉 nice job if not a little over kill 👍
💯 🤣
Its a pleasure watching you guys setting out your work and watching everything come together well done !
For the bolts that dont grip into brick work chemical fixing works a treat . Nice work 👏 👌 👍
Another work of professionalism Rich….great stuff.
Lovin it lads! Keep em comin, hope all well and happy new year Rich, Adam and team
Great video. Always educational 👍🏼
Great video
First in with a comment great work and good advice on the joist.
I know you didn’t put the floor joists in but they should have had herringbone noggins midspan.
They would have stiffened the floor quite considerably.
Proper plumbers notch on the top. Only way to get copper in
Really? Proper plumbers you say ok then
i have not got my heupar laser as yet but im going to get one many thanks guys
Love watching each of your videos, just wish every tradesman took the same care and attention as you and your team do. Some of the notching in those old joists look to be about half the depth. Did you patch any of those by sistering them?
I did patch some of them yes but didn’t show cos I did it before the insulation went in and the 1st fix sparky had finished. 👍🏻
Great video and very nice work. Can I get the model number of the Heupar laser please? Ta
Another great video! Would it not have created more floor space not having a cupboard under the stairs? Although practical to have, how many tins of soup do you really need?! If you get my drift.
Can’t wait for the next video!!
Well Don, things have changed and I’m about to start fitting the kitchen so you’ll have to see what’s happened with the design since this episode was filmed. 😁👍🏻
Looking forward to that!
I have the same laser level and the reciever is annoying at times as you need it absolutely bang on to register it in the centre
Hi Tom. Yes mate you’re right it is a great laser but it’s almost too precise. However, like I said in the video if it’s bouncing between up and down it can’t be far off at all. Thanks for the comment mate enjoy the rest of your day. 👍🏻
@@mrabuilders6723I should also say that I have also used shadow foam in a packout organiser to house the level, receiver and it's accessories.......I know I know I'm sad but at least it's safe 😂
Do you cover the Aston area of Birmingham?
We do mate yep. Drop us an email found in the bio and we can have a chat with you 👍🏻
Hope Adam gave you a nice Brucie Bonus for landing this job 😅
Hi lived in my house for number of years and we found a lot problems . And in the kitchen one day the ceiling started coming away from the timber above who had our house before us had put a new ceiling in just screwed through the old ceiling and where not fixed into nothing that why it came down and why it last so long .
I'm in my fifties (who cares) and I still have nightmares with expanding bolts. They hate me. I'm going to use resin in future. Good job gents.
The thought did cross my mind but because of the legs I dropped onto the new ceiling joists off the old ones I decided that would be more than adequate for this plus I’d got the timber and no chemical resin. Thanks for the comment mate 👍🏻
Spot on video Rich, so much better than Ads presenting, 😂 dint tell him I said that. 😅 out of interest what was the digital measurer you use and how accurate is it buddy.
Thanks for the comment mate it is a Hilti measurer but not sure of the model number. It is very accurate and I’d definitely recommend it but I think you have to get them calibrated very so often so I may have to look into that 👍🏻
Dr. Frankenstein, I presume !
Why didn’t you guys use the Mf ceiling system easy installation space saving and cheap as chips
Only one reason really Karlo it’s metal and I love messing with wood but there’s an episode coming where it’s all metal. 👍🏻😁
What make of nail bag/tool belt does he use in this video
Would it not been cheaper and quicker doin it in m/f metal
Possibly but where is the fun in that for a Chippy 😁👍🏻
Why couldn't you cross baton joists with 6M length metal laths size 50mm @ 400 centres screwed in, to a line, then plaster board?
what about the cabling for the downlights?
It all went in mate before the insulation and me patching the big holes in the existing joists 👍🏻
as you say belt and braces is the key would not settle for less
Well over engineered….🙂
Think I've told you probably million times now STOP WAVING YOUR PHONE AROUND WHEN EXPLAINING STUFF otherwise enjoy the Brommie partnership
Shame bout that wonky house however you have missed a speeding bullet
Malc's in Perth WA ♥️
Sorry Malcs I thought id got better but I’ll try harder 😂👍🏻
I thought you were going to stop so much gassing and just get on with it most people that watch this know what you're doing can tell by the comments
There has to be a certain amount of ‘gassing’ to explain to people that know absolutely nothing the reason why I do things. If you’d prefer to watch someone that doesn’t talk at all then head over to CAV joinery channel you may enjoy his videos more. All the best
