I'm so happy for you. I have been watching for many months now. You guys have done a great job so far. I stumbled across your Chanel looking for someone building a steel kit barn as hubby and I are building one too. Only to find out you guys are building a PAAL kit home too. Mine is arriving in September. The Stanthorpe🙂 I keenly await to watch your progress. Thanks for posting

Hi there, it's 9500 wide x 10500 deep. If I went over 100sqm it would require a planning permit, so I kept it at 100sqm to cut down the red tape.

hi- just wondering, Is this an expensive thing to do[ concert slab insulation] ? Before I approch our builder, I'm trying to figure out a reasonable estimate for doing this to our a single-story home in Melbourne's south-east [22sqm- new build] . thank you for your time
@20acrestohome Ай бұрын
Hi there, It's not to expensive as an OB, if you're going through a building they'll ad their mark up. Pricewise Insulation is a good resource to get prices of Slabmate, I used 100mm but it's available in various sizes.

If you do this again, if you set a few height pads dotted around at the exact height you need (on the perimeters). Then you can use a timber to screed between the points. The process is just like concreting or putting in a sand bed for pavers. You end up with it perfect between those points. When screeding you pull the timber backwards and it pulls the excess material back with the timber. Good luck and thanks for the vid

Love your videos. They bring back memories. In WA, Electricians and Plumbers certify their own work. We can't do our own work like they do in USA. I did the trenching, ran the cable and the tell tale leaving the ends of the trench open. I just looked at my gable ends and I have an angle sitting over the ends of the roof purlins that is level with the girts on the wall. The wall fastens to this at the top. Just a warning; if you lay out your own leach drains, the earth mat will bio degrade in the sun so leave that to last.

@@20acrestohome My 2 bedroom cottage was $50,000 with free delivery because we didn't have an agent and dealt directly with Sydney. Bunnings, Bunbury supplied the materials, span truss in Perth, the wall frames and trusses and Jason, the windows. I built on stumps and they supplied a floor kit and lockup kit. They warned me at the end of the year that the prices were going up so I bought a container and got the fitout and finishing kits. I replaced the supplied hotplate and oven with Westinghouse and got money back with the variation. I got my brother to sign off the engineering on my stumps and had them made locally. They calculated the insulation levels according to NSW regs and I added under floor insulation.

Cheers! The platform ladder is a Gorilla brand, I got it from Sydney Tools, Total Tools also have them but were out of stock. The platform adjusts from 1.5 - 2.4m, it's rated to 180kg.

I wonder how the Kingspan will perform in terms of noise from the rain. This is why I am considering anticon 80 so it can cushion the noise as well as a thermal break. I am also considering putting kingspan down first, then anticon over the top to further bolster the efficiencies. What do you reckon ?
@20acrestohome 6 ай бұрын
These videos are a few weeks behind so the roof has been finished for a while, we've had some heavy rain and hotter days (around 34c) I'm so impressed with the sound and temp inside. I couldn't recommend it highly enough. It's really pleasant, the mornings can be a bit warmer because the roller door faces east. Have you thought about putting Foilboard between the roof battens for an extra layer? I'm not sure how the Anticon would go laying on the Kingspan as you should have an air gap over the Kingspan.

How are you finding the prices these days mate ? Everything has become dear as poison, especially concrete.

Great work so far mate. What was the thickness of the aluminium vermin proof ? I like the double sided tape hack too. Very good idea, especially when you're doing it yourself too. Glad to see that you're also insulating. Not many people bother and later come to regret it when it becomes a hot sweat box. I'm planning to do the walls and roof. Thinking about going double on the roof with Bradford style Anticon. I'm thinking to go across first then side to side down the gables. How much was the kingspan insulation ? I was curious to see how you terminated it at the top. I'm guessing in the coming video when you do the roof, you'll probably overlap the roof insulation into the wall insulation ? The gap at the bottom is also a very good idea to stop wicking up of moisture etc. I'm dreading my build because there is so much fiddling around and sometimes I wish we had 5 arms, preferably two of them being extendable to lol...
@20acrestohome 6 ай бұрын
The aluminium was 1.6mm, I can't post the drawing I did for it but the measurements are 40mm (the part nails to the slab) x 21mm drop x 17mm. The 17mm was a mistake, if i was doing it again I'd make it 25mm. The double sided tape was from Bunnings and specifically for insulation, the brand is Ametalin, $41 for a 50m roll. I got the Kingspan with the shed from Best Sheds, about $2000 from memory but I found Pricewise Insulation have awesome prices, that's who I got all my insulation for the house from. Hopefully the latest video explains how I terminate at the top, let me know if it doesn't. Don't dread it! It's good fun, strongly suggest getting about 6 quick release clamps (as those extra hands).

Hey mate, great effort. Looks like you're on your own there. You're a brave man working off a platform ladder that high up. I'm about to start construction of my own steel shed which is 4.5m to the peak, not American Barn Style, just a normal gable ended roof shed 15m x 9m x 3.6m I purchased a scaffold and a scissor lift pretty cheap to help me get the job done. I have no help, so I have to persevere and do it myself. This is humanity in the modern times... Wish me luck.

A scissor lift is a great idea for the centre peak, I was also looking at mobile scaff and will probably get one for the house build. The platform ladder is probably one of the best purchases I've made, so much better than the extension ladder I was using.

If you are thinking of getting any of the hand held tools buy them with the 2.5ah battery if you can because the 7.5ah battery will make the tools really heavy for prolonged use. Enjoy Ego.
