Hey mate! We are going to trim the damp course (the black plastic roll) and the termite protection (the blue plastic roll) and then leave as is. Eventually, we'll put a ground deck in to meet the house so the transition will line up with the slab. We've seen other ideas - garden beds, steps, ect - but we're going with a deck that joins the alfresco slab and finishes that outside area.

Hey! The cladding we used (primeline summit) doesn't need to join on a stud. But others may need to depending on style 👍

Thanks! Glad you're finding them useful :) V exciting starting your owner build in a month! Will your council need to see your plans?

@@TheHousethatMattBuilt .... I'm going to use The ShedCompanys kit called Country Estate, they have guarantied council approval for their plans:). I haven't found land I like yet, there's always some problem like too expensive,too small,dodgy neighborhood or no internet.

Hi! Congrats on being in the final stages 👌😊 so far, we've found that it doesn't matter 🤷‍♀️

Kool...ta…and loving your build by the way👍👍

@@lloyddodds8842 thanks!! 😁

That's a good point. We didn't consider this and have just continued with the measuring and cutting of the gyprock. We're almost finished with the gyprock, haha!

@@TheHousethatMattBuilt Never mind, progress is still progress!

@@daikiryoku So we went ahead and checked our construction manual after your comment - just to confirm what the order should be according to Paal - and we were following the book in the end. They recommend door jams go in first before gyprock 👌

@@TheHousethatMattBuilt I'd agree with you guys...if you put the gyprock in first you wouldn't be able to fix the rivets in the steel frame without scuffing up the plaster...

Yes, top tip! We are starting tiling in the near future so will def see if our current laser level is up to the job!

Wouldn't be anywhere in this project without friends or family! x

Can you imagine if we had take the rolls down and start again!! Glad it was just a tiny fix in the end :)

@@TheHousethatMattBuilt There would be one or two small expletives I'm sure!

Wait till you see the cladding go up 😉😊

Hey Ben :) This is a modified Tasman actually. Similar internal floor plan layout to the Elizabeth but slightly smaller. We've widened the front verandah to help with cooling. We've made the master room bigger. And we've flipped the rooms - so the master is on the RHS and the other rooms on the LHS now. I think we also modified the kitchen and gave ourselves a bigger walk in pantry. Yep, R2 wall insulation and R4 for the ceilings. Thanks for the feedback and glad the videos are useful. Are you owner building too?

The House that Matt Built My wife and I will be starting an Elizabeth build by the end of the year (hopefully) so we will be watching your build closely 🙂

@@benlangley1763 that's super exciting! Hope all goes well with the plans etc. We're hoping to be in our finished house by end of the year! 🤞😊

Where's ya termite install?

@@metinokur997 we have slab protection - went in as the slab was curing. We'll also get another treatment before we get occupancy certificate 👌

Thanks! It was tough going! Glad to have seen the back of it now ;) and good spying! But no, GP came to visit that day and helped with some verandah wood burning work that we didn't get on film.
