Nice one Pouse. Wack on some proper footwear my old son. Being a full time tradesmen I learned the hard way! Watched you putting all those screws in; get yourself a Dewalt first fix nail gun (if you do lots of framing and ply/osb boarding), you will wonder how you ever managed 👏🏻. Good to see you vacuuming out all the shit in the eaves with a trusty Henry, good tradesman there.
It's probably not worth the drive! Yes, we had a great summer but the build has slowed up a lot over winter as I've been working alone. Still not finished but getting there. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching.
Way back in part 1 or two you described the wall plates as on being on the inner leaf sitting level and the one on the outer leaf being angled to meet the rafters - I am no expert but I thought it odd, At 2:30 you can clearly see the birdmouth cuts on the rafters to sit on a flat wall plate...which has rolled outwards as the roof sank !
Richard Benjamin: Must admit, I thought it looked odd myself and structurally weak. Having gone back to that part of the video you mention, you are absolutely right and I had missed that.
@@steves1460 I saw it and thought it extremely odd. Richard is correct, that plate has rolled over. Oh, I wonder whether the occupants heard a noise and a judder. I only built a garage - but my top plates each had 2 steel L- brackets holding them to the wall (in case a strong wind lifted the roof).
@@vinm300 They’ll get another chance in the near-future, as that is a major weakness at a key structural point. Wouldn’t feel safe sleeping under that roof!
Well spotted Sir. The end of that hip looked rotten, plus a few of the hip jacks near the wall plate looked a bit dodgy as well. I would have repaired the end of that hip and replaced a few of those hip jacks. Then slapped a load of protim on with a brush. I'd say they were pushed for time and money, 🔨🇮🇪
Thanks again for watching. I know what I've spent so far but I haven't accounted for labour. But it will cost me about about quarter of the cost to have it done by a company, but as a said this is materials only. Labour would be a big cost of a project like this. I've also sought out bargains where possible and shopped around. A builder is likely to use they're usual suppliers and pass the cost on, but they get it done in 2 months instead of 2 years!
With this slate the recommended on a normal pitch roof is 25cm from centre to centre. Mine varied a bit as I had to tie in with next door's but if you look on manufactures website they will tell you. More shallow your roof pitch, the less you batten gauge (distance between them).
I couldnt go much bigger due to the valley in the roof. My other option would have been hip to gable conversion with one large flat roof dormer but there were reasons I didn't do this which I will summarise in a video when all loft vids have been uploaded. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
Its coming on nicely pouse, fair play lad. 👷♂️👍. Hurry up n edit these vids quicker would ya , itl be next august by the time we see the finished result lol..( jokes) keep em comin. Look forward to the next vid.
Hi Pouse, I'm gripped mate! This is something I am undertaking myself next year. Works done by myself. But did u get plans drawn up by architect? I'm in two minds? Also did u require planning permission or permitted development? It's so hard to find out which is relevant??? All the Best, Paul. Onto part 13 now 👍🏻
Permitted development. Most will come under this unless you are in a conservation area. No plans, just structural engineer calculations to submit to building control for joists and rafters etc. I did my own drawings with dimensions but have changed it a bit as I go along. I submitted a building notice to building control which means you don't have to submit plans, they just inspect different stages of the project. Best of luck with it and thanks for watching!
It's out now, but with a full time job, family, the loft, video editing, uploading etc......it's not an easy task! I'd love to do them more frequently but it's unlikely at the moment. Thanks for sticking with it and thanks for watching!
@@CantE8tCheese yep u seems like a clever chap.Its about the video editing its either to loud or the opposite.Try it on the 5.1 surround and then be clever..
When I edit the videos on my basic software, I have made efforts to keep the music down, but maybe my software plays it differently. It maybe your surround sound is more for real movies and doesn't align the sound. If you play it through your phone for example you should find it all sounds ok. The music itself is original and not taken from the youtube library. I like it to be a bit different. Anyway, thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching.
Love how the pouses stick together, both old and young. Enjoying the vids, thanks for making them.

Nice job. Can't wait to see it finished.
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching.
Nice one can't believe this was August. Tempted to drive by (from Scotland) to see the results.

coming together nicely looking forward to the next video
Thanks for the feedback!
job's coming along nicely, enjoying the vids m8.
Thanks for the feedback Nick.
Cracking on well! A great, productive day! :)
Indeed, thanks for the feedback!

Great stuff ,
Thanks for watching!
You are just like my father in these matters around the house, except a lot more skilled 😂😂😂
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching.
This is going to look the business, can you give an idea of cost for something of this sort of size, looking forward to seeing it finished 👍

POUSE around the HOUSE thanks, that’s what I normally do, hunt everywhere for best price and preferably bargains 👍
Can I ask why you didn't do a simple hip to gable to maximise room?
That was the week you had your money's worth out of me! Horrendous day. Got home after 10. Sent me away with a packet of quavers and a crunchie!
Ha ha love it.. big pouse feelin the pinch.
And you're not even worth that much. Count yourself lucky!
hi mate nice job can i ask a simple question what its the distance from each battens from the botom to the top tanks a lot mate
With this slate the recommended on a normal pitch roof is 25cm from centre to centre. Mine varied a bit as I had to tie in with next door's but if you look on manufactures website they will tell you. More shallow your roof pitch, the less you batten gauge (distance between them).
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE thanks so much have a lovley time
Nice work guys,will you be doing vids on the internals as well??
Yes, I'l be showing the project right through. Thanks for watching.
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE brilliant i'll be there.
looking good! why no plywood on he roof? just tyvec
In retrospect would you have made the dormer larger? I like it but think it would have looked even better if it were larger
I couldnt go much bigger due to the valley in the roof. My other option would have been hip to gable conversion with one large flat roof dormer but there were reasons I didn't do this which I will summarise in a video when all loft vids have been uploaded. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
How many days did the small dormer take as I’ve got something very similar on my house full strip and thinking of doing this ?

They haven't visited for years, they have a better holiday resort now!

I've never had a nail come up thru my none safety boots. Don't leave those nails where you walk, pro tip.
If I was doing it it would piss down!
It did, a few times!
Freaking finally.Love the content but dont enjoy the loud music ://
Turn your speakers down then. I actually really like the music and it makes a change from the usual crap that people put on videos.
