I don’t do birds mouths! A big screw is superior, better than a few poorly done toenails…

Big thanks to you sir ,done subscribing!

Can you make a video for cut on site roof?

What would it be called if there were no windows?

Thank you for showing the ceiling frame components. You explain yourself clearly. Thanks again. Cheers Chris

Better than what I was taught at an RTO, 90% of these schools need to be shut down. Great video 👍

Well two things come to mind. 1 if the birds mouth is not cut out of rafters. The rafter will want to not Stay put. Even with the metal bracket I can see potential for movement. At least till the collar ties are installed. As well it puts all the load on the outside edge of top plate. Also when you are installing the rake blocks. I’m feeling that wood be made easier. Do to the rafter and block being the same height. Also having the rafter not having a notch in it. Wood make it a bit stronger. I will say it appears nailing the rafter to the plate won’t be as secure do to only being able to put the nails on outside edge from rafter to plate. Myself I will stick with what works and conuinue useing a birds mouth cut.

Im very surprised that theres very little to no videos surrounding this topic. Ive always wondered how they connected the beams to make it longer. Ive been searching videos on how to join two ridge beams and finally Ive found one. Thanks

Sound is muffled video is good if the client can't hear clear words from the auditor then the level of communication is bro kers

So interesting and useful details

I always get confused between datum and benchmark because they are so similar, or seem to be the same thing. Obviously they aren’t but I can’t get my head around it

Great job. What do you do if the jamb is out of square?

thanks mate

Hi mate. When they say "Up to 20% of common studs, including those in bracing walls, may be crippled" does that mean 20% of the studs in a wall?

Cut in flooring is also for solid masonry builds - like my grandmother's house that was double brick all the way through. You can't have a timber platform when the wall above it is solid brick. Every room has brick walls on all four sides, and every room's floor is cut in separately to all the rest. This goes for modern mud brick and straw bale builds too. Some wall systems have to be continuous all the way down.

Covering the edge of the concrete with soil .. if it's only a narrow margin it won't matter much, but if a homeowner is trying to build a garden bed there, they won't be happy about concrete hidden under the soil around their house. Any plant they try to grow over the concrete is just going to die.

The next challenge: You have a concrete suspended floor poured between four walls. Over the years as the suspended floor is subjected to various stresses, it develops lots of tiny cracks - but they're not a structural problem because it's correctly reinforced with steel. Then you realise that all these tiny cracks represent a significant enlargement of the wall-to-wall dimensions of your floor, and it's distorting the outside walls holding it up. Then what?

Thank you Sir

Hey mate when laying flooring parrellel to a big slider set up to be flush with floor, how do you deal with expansion gap? Recommended 10mm is obviously way too big for attractive caulking bead. Thanks mate legend

Thanks m8! ❤Best I could find, the rest were out there! One even recomended AGAINST ag- pipe, and pushed skinny rigid pvc pipe, dirt backfilled🤣 no sight of gravel or fabric...what the heck!? Thanks for your sanity and simple to understand vid xx

Teşekkürler faydalı oldu

Thanks for the great videos. When packing out the gable end for sheeting, do you need to leave a gap between the battens and end wall? So that the truss can deflect without putting load on the wall?

Will be making this soon great video!

What's that software you using?

Man your good.

Is it possible to create foam expansion joint in existing floor concrete having expansion joint with the wall?

What software do you use please. Thanks.

Cheers John very helpful

Can i ask if this scenario acceptable: i have 2440 finished flooring to ceiling.10mm ceiling and 20mm floor tiles and adhesive.can i just use standard 2.4 stud and 45mm top and bottom plate. So i can save some labour to cut down stud to match 2440 finish Thanks

Excellent explanation. Great work.

Can you use triple grips instead of using a birds mouth?

guarantee I'd learn more watching all of your videos rather than doing my 'education' cert III

Thank you😀 amazing content, very detailed and helpful.👏🏽

Attendance from Nova institute , Melbourne

my college is learning from you sir

@buildsum The video first showed a control joint between two already poured slabs, which made sense. However, it then transitioned to a beveled construction joint, with the control joint still present. This seemed confusing, as a control joint wouldn’t exist when creating a construction joint with the first slab-the second slab hasn’t been poured yet. So, my understanding is that when pouring the first slab, there's no need for a control joint. And when the second slab is poured, a control joint still isn’t necessary because the construction joint already creates a full-depth gap. Is this correct? I would see a need for a control joint in the center if either slab is very long (which was stated in the video).

Heh, erection

Nice clear vid, but you're showing one front corner of the block as being the downhill corner, and then the drainage on the street gutter is running the other way. It's kind of confusing to watch that.

First time learning about hanging beams, but this video is great. If the hanging beam isn’t meant to support any roof load, does the hanging beam have to be resting on walls on both ends of it? If you wanted to remove one of the walls at the end of a hanging beam, can the continuous ceiling joists themselves support the hanging beam?

Interested

Fantastic video. Clear, well explained and to the point. Thank you for your work here.

You always have amazing educational videos. Keep up the great work.

For the top plate cut why do we divide by 2?

Mate, loved this video on the skillion roof. Can you point me to a video that covers installation of metal roofing sheets and gutters onto the skillion roof?

more of these please this was great

good tutorial except for at 3:00

well done mate, Its lot to take away from your videos , Very simple and clear to understand too .. Thanks very much
