this video is excellent thanks for showing everything. A question if i may, when u use that hefty impact driver, do u think its totally neccesary to bolt the frame onto the slab, as ive seen people skipping that step and ive seen others bolting it like you , cheers
Doing nicely thank you. Just been given a porter cable framing nailer, sadly it leaks air, just waiting on a seal kit from the states to put it back into action.
Is it important to have an air gap underneath the base? I noticed you haven’t got one but I’ve read that it may be necessary to prevent damp . What is your experience of this
Great video, Mark! It's a pity you are in Dorset and I am in Edinburgh, otherwise I would have asked you to put down a new floor! Looking forward to the rest of the series.
This is an interesting build we are enjoying it. The weather is fantastic for being on holiday just a little warm for working hard in it. We finished early last week as we had site temperatures of mid 30s
Very interesting Mark ...did i notice that you sat the outside frame of the wooden base on top of the wooden surround of the concrete base, rather than on top of the concrete itself
Hi Simon I use a combination of 100mm screws both Carpenters hex which are really strong and 100mm x 5. Best place I’m finding to bulk buy is on Amazon. There are a number of brands. Make sure you use exterior for anything that could be exposed to the weather. Hope this helps
Great start to the garden room with a solid base.Did you actually concrete the base or did someone else do that.Looks a monster garden room.Looking forward to see the progress and seeing it all come together.
Hi Kevin this particular base was done by another builder. The next garden room I start in August I’m doing the concrete base as well. This is a big build lots to it.
Hello Mark. Love all the great videos you do, especially the ones on mental health, I have got a lot from them that I put into practice every day. But on a lighter note, I have a technical question if I may? I retire at the end of the year, and I am going to have a go at building a workshop in my backyard. With regard to the base, mine will be 2 x 2.4 square sections joined together to give me 2.4mtr x 4.8 MTR. Everywhere says 400 centres for the floor joists, but I have a lot of 100 mm insulation I can get for free, but it's the small size which is 1200x450. My question is would it make much odds if I spaced my floor joists at 450 apart so as I can fit the insulation sheets in without cutting them ? When it comes to laying the plywood floor, it's not going to matter if my joists are 400 or 450 apart (I think)as 4 sheets will cover the entire floor. I would be most interested in your thoughts, please. I am a complete novice only guided by RUclips videos....what could possibly go wrong 😆
Hi thanks for reaching out. The reason for either 400 centres or 16inch centres is to do with the 8x4 sheets of ply osb or plasterboard. OSB and plywood are 16inch while plasterboard is 400. Also it’s industry standard as everyone can work out where the studs are in a wall. As you are building it it wouldn’t make that much difference at 450mm but you would be cutting your board a lot more as the need to land on the ends on either a stud or a joist. Summarising you make your build more difficult by not keeping to industry standards. Hope this is helpful Mark
@@thesmallworkshopadventures7522 Thank you very much for the reply, Mark. I think it's best to stick to industry standards and save myself a potential headache.

Nice work Mark. You have been doing several of these big jobs lately. You might actually be able to make a living from this carpentry hobby! Cheers
Yes I have a more to come. 😃
These builds are what I look forward to, nice job Mark 👍
Thanks Jim I hope you’re well. 😃

Hi mate where are you based? Great work 👍
Loving this one Mark! Very interesting and well explained, nice to see you both working as a team. Looking forward to the next instalment 👍
Thanks Tony building a good team around me. Next instalment coming soon

Ahh yes. I love Edinburgh been a couple of times great city .
Excellent start to an interesting build Mark, the weather has been excellent for you for a few weeks now 🥵.

@@thesmallworkshopadventures7522 🥵 yes, too hot for working!

Hi Mark what screws do you use for the framing?. I want something that will obviously last without costing silly money.

Why did you screw the floor joists to the concrete base? Surely all that weight will stop it from moving.

Don't think Andy share's the same enthusiasm with the camera.
Andy is very happy just a different personality as we all are 👍
nice job though.
