Hi Josh. I have a question about the continuous blocking. I noticed you got two rows of continuous blocking in the middle of joist. As I know NZ3604 describes to put mid-span continuous solid blocking if the joist span is over 2.5m, which I think it means just only add one row continuous blocking in the middle of joist span. So could you let me know the reason for two rows blocking? Thanks.
I’m a builder, Seems to me lintel studs should be doubled up nowadays with the timber being of lesser tensile strength than it used to be . working on a home recently constructed with european windows, the whole wall wobbles like jelly when you close the window . plaster will crack i feel , and the current timber is nowhere near as ridged as it was 20 years ago . it’s bordering on being rubbish in my opinion . perhaps douglas fir should be substituted for lintel and trimmer studs . trees grown are genetically changed every year now to produce more quicker . the resulting timber we have to work with has less ring count , less stability… just crap 💩 . I’m adding extra studs where i feel necessary now . having to spend more on planer blades to straighten shyte walls , replacing studs once dried out is the norm .
Fan here! So our builder used gib standard instead of gib aqualine on wet areas as per plans without letting us know... They promise it will be sealed properly. What are your thoughts on using GIB standard on wet areas?
this was good! very use ful for building my shed haha. do you have any videos of how to frame a corner thats not 90 degrees? if not could you make one? Lol
What you're calling "timber framing" is what we'd call "stick building" in America. "Timber framing" here refers to building with heavy timbers (usually at least 8x8 inch posts and beams) that are fastened with mortise and tenon joints, ether pegged or bolted.
We call it timber framing because it’s becoming more common to get steel frames aswell, depends on where you are and your budget, I’m not sure how popular it is overseas :)
I don’t see J frame , plywood studs as an asset . the glue will ultimately breakdown , the timber in between the glue will move whereas the glue does not resonate the same . much the same with glulam beams, the next leaky home disaster in the future. just my opinion. As we know timber moves . with heat pumps, radiator heated homes , issues are arising . i’ve witnessed matai floors expanding and contracting in A diesel radiator home , due to humidity changes . the home is kept at a constant temperature, and yet shyte keeps moving lol . very interesting stuff .
So many factors at play , hard to predict what will happen when multi product builds are put together. cracks , movement, it’s a minefield to guarantee

Please do someting on breezeways, especially akward retrofit ones connecting a new extension to an old house. How roofing gets done etc ta
I really love your terminology video. It helps me have more understanding of residential buildings. Please make some more. Thank you.

I'm from Brazil and I was looking foward a video like this because construction in NZ its very different from here. Thanks a lot!
Glad it was helpful!

some interesting points in here, hard to know what the solution is when our consumption of timber is outpacing our ability to produce it

1:11 in the USA, we'd call the short studs above and below the window 'cripples".
another top video, thank you
My pleasure!

Thanks bro. Moved home from Australia and some things have different names lol

yeah I have always wondered about this, I guess time will tell
What you're calling a "dwang", we'd call a "firebreak" or "blocking".
What you're calling a Lintel, we'd call a Header.

sounds pretty pessimistic
It's Nog.. just saying.
Dwang
🤣🤣🤣
they're called dwangs in NZS3604, so that's pretty much the last word. I still call them nogs though haha.
Did you mean Dwang :)
