Just tipped it over the 2k mark for you Eden! Well done 🙂

May sound odd, but I didn’t quite get the scale of the building til the 8x4 flooring sheets went down - makes the 6 sheets used for our new kitchen seem minuscule 😂! Great progress guys, you’re looking energised at the prospect of working with timber again 😊

My heart broke for the dog at the end there 15:22 - she was desperate for a fuss. Keep trying Maggie 💪

Very precise. Even kept the splinter guard on! Great work as ever 👍

Cracking video.


I'll get my hat....

That osb reminds me of the zip system I see used in American builds, mainly Perkins Builder Brothers

I am sure you have already taken this into consideration but how slick will the polished floor be? Our garage wasn’t broomed so the concrete is pretty smooth. When it’s wet it is as slick as ice and we have to have old rugs down to prevent serious falls . It’s an outside space so that is in shoes, not as bad in bare feet.

Another great video 👍 I bet progress will feel a lot better now that you're finished with the base work

[williamwales]

never a dull moment. Phase 1 Completed? Phase 2 starts. Phew! no rest for the wicked eh. Many hands Light work. So they say. 😂. Onwards

Hi Tim I’m planning a similar barn and really interested in how your timber frame meets the insulated roof panels.
Great channel

Can't pay attention to what you're saying at all while the pup is looking at you so sweetly just longing for a pat. 15:03 Oh, come on, pat the dog!

Good luck to you Eden (and the family!) for the big walk! And ... Well Done!

I know the underfloor heating is deeper than 40mm but my heart would still have been going making those cuts 😂

Well done going the Smartply Airtight and Vent combination. We use it on all our builds (and the Durelis Vapourblock/Panelvent equivelant).

You will know this but trades can fix directly to the internal airtight board and there not be any request of leakage. We let our sparkies and plumbers run everything against it.

Expensive but worth it for an airtight but breathable building.

Good job. I'm sure you have thought of this, but be carful with only sheeting 1 gable end. If a storm comes and there is a way in for the wind but no way out it could lead to disaster. Good work though.

Interesting option on MDF what’s the VOCs and off gassing like by using that compared to “natural” wood? Not worried about the glues/ resins you’ll be breathing in over the years? Friend left a piece submerged for 12 months. Didn’t well a single MM 🧐👍🏼👍🏼

[darrengower]

Hi Tim, maybe you can help? I have been searching for masonry blades to fit my TS55, what ones are you using? 🙏

[jonesconrad]

Is that OSB a bit like huber zip they use in the states ?

[paulb]

Tim, as you’ve not laid a concrete floor before I believe, who told you about cutting lines in it and where best to ?
Was it the guys who pumped it in and polished it or someone else ?
Cutting into it wouldn’t be something I’d want to do without supervision ! lol

[ianbeck]

I'm not sure I'd want to let my TS-55 near concrete !
