Enjoyed listening to this - and you sound a bit manic like Lee Mack's 'furniture sale' character 🤩. Could you edit this great video to say marine ply (and not just ply) and use durable woodstain. It will last years then. Also suggest using an empty cola can cut to line the entrance hole to stop magpies and woodpeckers getting in. Otherwise you're just making a food cupboard for them.

@@diydan1394fellow DIYer here also! I appreciate your thoughts. I think I’ll start with walls as there’s a concrete slab below for me to secure a wall plate onto. Did you consider installing a vapour barrier after the insulation went up or do you have a warm roof?
@immortalgraphics 3 ай бұрын
No drainage or cill on the bifolds. Threshold screws not siliconed in. Lintel screws not siliconed In. Be lucky if you don't get a leak.
@diydan1394 3 ай бұрын
Hi anyone fitting a bifold... Do the above 😬... Although we have had some of the worse rain over the last 6 months and iv had no leaks at all, i thought if water entered the threshold it ran through drain holes out the bottom onto the plastic membrane iv installed under the whole door? This membrane is siliconed all the way across on the inside so any water drains away into the ground away from the bricks. There's no need to silicone the jams and Intel screws as this is all sealed from the weather with a bead of silicon arround the door exterior. All water tight 😊
@immortalgraphics 3 ай бұрын
Should be fine then but a few tips- Depending what silicone you have used, most of it is not designed to he submerged in water. (If water is constantly sat on silicone then it will eventually break down) You have basically created a cill with the membrane. Won't pass building regs but the officer probably won't even know himself 😂 Lintel and bricks above the lintel- bricks and mortar are porous, any water that gets in will drip down the back face of the bricks and on to the lintel and back out, so the fixing holes in the lintel will also act as a water outlet into your room, unless sealed (we usually dip the screw into the silicone nozzle before driving it home) Nothing to do with the perimeter. Jambs don't need sealing, correct.

For those wondering, this can also be done with a chop saw on the flimsier, older venetian style blinds as well as these faux wood ones. As Dan has mentioned, it's all in the prep. Binding the ends tightly with masking tape once they're as flush as you're able will improve your chances of success! Note: The blade I used was the 12 inch, 80 tooth.
