  • @sigmanoir
    @sigmanoir Месяц назад +2

    Great to watch the build except for the plaster board in the bathroom. Plasterboard (drywall) isn't suitable for use behind tiles in a shower because it is not water-resistant, you should use a material designed to withstand prolonged water exposure, such as: Cement Board (e.g., HardieBacker or Durock), Foam Backer Boards (e.g., Kerdi Board or Wedi Board), and Waterproof Membranes for extra protection, especially if using cement board, a waterproof membrane (like Kerdi or RedGard) can be applied over the surface to ensure that no water can penetrate the wall, and ensure that your shower remains durable and resistant to water damage for many years.
    Secondly, on the outside where the holes are drilled in the wood, field mice can get in the gaps between the pipes and the siding, so those too need to be sealed. Mice can squeeze through incredibly small spaces-as small as 6 mm (1/4 inch), which is about the size of a pencil. To prevent mice from entering, you can pack around the pipe with:Steel Wool: Mice are unable to chew through steel wool effectively, making it a great barrier, especially in combination with other materials. After packing with steel wool, you can apply a layer of expanding foam that is designed to be pest-resistant. This helps seal the gap completely and provides an added layer of protection. Lastly, for a more permanent solution, especially for masonry walls, using cement-based mortar or high-quality silicone caulk after packing with steel wool provides an effective and long-lasting seal. Caulk can be applied around smaller gaps, while mortar is better for larger spaces in brick or concrete walls.
    I love the green roof, it sure is amazing to watch this build. Thanks for taking us along.

    All good boys, but your fitted soffit wrong way around vents are supposed to be at far end and 45° cut soffit on the corners would give much nicer look. Apart of that all good. 👍

      Thanks 😊 There is a reason for the way we install soffit as the ring beam would have blocked 50% of the air flow
