Building an Extension for a House

I'm helping out with a new job today, to make a start on framing for this houses extension.
The slab has been poured and we're ready to demo the old eave, and start framing the walls for this extension.

Hey Dave, you should look into the air valve on your aeg framer as they need to be topped up with an air compressor occasionally. It is mentioned in the manual along with how to find the air valve. Usually when it starts to lose some power, it just means it needs a top up.
Love the videos keep it up mate! Chasing my apprenticeship in WA and inspired by your vids.

Hey mate, I take my hat off to you. I’m a chippy and I know it wouldn’t be easy moving the camera around all the time, not wanting it to be a nuisance for the other tradies, then editing all the footage after a hard days work. I really enjoyed the video and look forward to the next one. Keep it up.

I need to mention the cement sheet for others watching. (Many reno in Australia without knowing the dangers and then freak out) House looks at an age where it probably didn't have asbestos, but you treat it the same because silicosis is no better.

Great video- More interesting than some new builds. 😊

Bought a Milwaukee framer/brad combo a few months ago and can’t fault it.
Awesome power and quick.
I like this video, you guys are efficient and fast which is rare in tradies these days.
All the best fella

The owner is a good sport that gives a slab a night to the building boys 👦

The aeg framer has a recall on a the refill valve. I got mine replaced with the new valve (new gun with new valve) and haven't had any problem since.

Awesome video considering doing this myself

At milwaukees pipeline this year, they are realeasing 2 new saws. Heaps slimmer design.

The aeg makes a battery compressor. You have to refill the canister in the aeg gun

The hikoki is easy to fix the magazine slide. Just need some cleaning spray and silicone spray. The non branded nails seem to clog it faster. Also you can play around with the spring tension on the hikoki. Seems that Milwaukee have been looking at what everyone else is doing and there new 165mm looks like a good copy of the another brands long time saw and there new 174mm which is about to be released in USA looks an absolute weapon with a forge battery, also less weight and bulk I believe.

You get a like from a lockup chippy for buzzing the beams down before shooting 100 nails into them. If it could be a love it would be.

[gregthomson]

Nice work mate. Surely that existing slab won't have a membrane under it to stop rising damp. How are you getting sround that?

[simondelaney]

Yeah that’s it, by the time you put the gyprock on due to that 1-2mm gap from the grprock glue you wouldn’t need to rebate out for the strapping

Why do they look along the wall studs before putting them down and laying out the wall on the ground? are they checking if they are straight? and do you throw them out if they are not straight? Thanks!
