Adding Insulation, Patio Doors Fitted & 1st Fix Electrics

[@mozzer999]

Megastik, i buy a box of 12, and as I'm slow, i use it for whole boards and smaller bits. Absolutely solid. Great for skirtings too.

[@Ben-gm9lo]

You invested in a core drill - hurrah! Lovely stuff and beautifully explained.

[@Mr_A_Builders]

I did mate yep. 👍🏻

[@darrandonovan4605]

I’ve said before and I’ll say it say it again …… loving the channel . Great content , I love the way you explain what you’re about to do and then allow us to see you do it and highlighting any difficulties. learning a hell of a lot from your videos . Good banter and fun on the videos to which makes it even more enjoyable . Thanks Rich and Adam for the work putting these videos together. Keep them coming. What projects have you got lined up for after the extension and bungalow build ?

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Thanks Darren glad you’re liking our content. We have enough going on and all will be revealed soon enough 👍🏻

[@adamuk73]

I always look forward to my Sunday update. Nice work lads 👍

[@alanreeves459]

Another great video 👍 Hope Matt coped with your window reveal "feature" 😀

[@stevearthur4261]

Enjoyed this one (as always) 👌

[@samsungcrossland2036]

Looking good 👍

[@jimmy4952005]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍class work lads

[@paulf2529]

Great progress, im surprised Mat doesn't have a couple of cordless floodlights. I have a dewalt one , decent enough light for skimming or painting.

[@Mr_A_Builders]

He prefers the plug in ones they last all day 👍🏻

Felt roofing in 2024😮 very old school! That was just crying out for fibreglass or edpm? Anyhoo, on the music front I say it's fine but does come across quite loud on my phone causing vol adjustment during the time lapse sections. If I was uber picky I would say to be mindful of music vol in editing. Hope that is helpful. Great videos as always. 👍👍

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Hi Nigel. The music is turned down to 35% during the edit for that reason. It looks like I need to go another 10%. Thanks for letting us know. 👍🏻

[@townside_woodcraft]

@@Mr_A_Buildersi love the content but honestly have to say the music annoys the hell out of me lol , id rather watch someone work in silence lol

[@Mr_A_Builders]

We have changed the music multiple times to follow what our viewers want and we have run out of ideas. Keeping the whole episode in silence isn’t one of options we could try 😁👍🏻

[@iaintunmore2609]

The music is fine. Surely if people would prefer silence they can just hit the mute button for the time lapse segments. It seems a bizarre complaint to make to a building contractor. Generally the quality of the videos is excellent, and when it (very) occasionally isn’t, remember this is just video documentation of their projects, they aren’t professional videographers.

[@omen209]

Can you use a xps tile backer board, 6mm or higher on the window reveal, can be plastered or just plasterboard over it, completely waterproof

[@ke161co]

was the wall you insulated a solid wall (no cavity) if it is can insulation board be fitted right against it or does it need a air gap? im planning on doing a bedroom out of it in my victorian house but not sure weather needs a gap or not. house gets fkinnn cold. would have the boards directly against the brick have any negative side effects

[@thfc4745]

best to do some good research on insulating solid walls. Build with A&E recently mentioned it in a video.

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Fancy sending him to our competition Ha! Ha!

[@carltonrangemeister9610]

HI RICH, CAN YOU TELL ME WHICH PATIO DOOR COMPANY WAS USED PLEASE AS I WANT THE SAME! GREAT CHANNEL I'VE LEARNED SO MUCH FOR MY EXTENSION BUILD.

[@mauserkk98]

Should be done for Christmas then ?.

[@Mr_A_Builders]

We certainly hope so 👍🏻

[@peterandrewwilson976]

That's what they said in 1914 😂😂😂

[@clivelockwood3236]

that flat roof looked like it was holding water, allways comes back to haunt you

[@brianhannan2872]

When did OSB get renamed ply.?

[@Mr_A_Builders]

It didn’t Brian but I think you know what I mean

[@thfc4745]

If they say it enough they can charge the client extra 😆

[@Gaz_does_stuff1969]

why didnt you go for the GRP ?

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Not an ideal time to do it. We really struggled with the weather to get this done so we wouldn’t have been able to do GRP at all. You can’t have any wet weather at all that’s the problem.

[@richardsmith7547]

Quality best on KZbin lads

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Thank you Richard we appreciate that comment. 😁👍🏻

[@gr328]

Are the edges called "drops"?

[@s350mbz]

Ignorant question Do other countries not have rising damp or condensation like the UK? And what solutions do they use for plasterboard near the floor? I have a new build house n seat I have a breeze at floor level next to the wall. I'm convinced it's caused by the plaster board in the room not being air tight. Conversely, how do near passive houses manage moisture. I have heard that the issue is not keeping water vapour or condensation out if a building but letting it breathe and dry. Is that true?

[@ianbaker3281]

Why have you felted it and not epdm, it's the future. 🤷

[@Mr_A_Builders]

If you can suggest a reputable person that do it without ripping me off and do a good job I'd have done it in rubber. I haven't found one yet

[@theetheeyog9878]

Why didn't you fix the insulation to the wall first than screwed the g bracket to the wall on top of the insulation

[@Mr_A_Builders]

That’s not how it’s installed and also the idea is to take up as little space as possible.

[@dansweeting7899]

@@Mr_A_Builders its just such a weird technique, massive gaps in the insulation makes no sense whatsoever

[@Mr_A_Builders]

In this instance Dan the idea was to add more insulation than was already there which was zero. Ideally another sheet would go over the top or insulated plaster board but we are tight on space.

[@dansweeting7899]

@@Mr_A_Builders I do get it mate, but even sticking a load of foam behind the studs as you're pushing in the insulation boards would make a difference

[@bungleford]

​@@dansweeting7899That was my thought also. Spray foam for the win.

[@Rogerdodger-z7x]

Torching directly to timber deck?!? It’s because of this plonker why public liability insurance with the application of heat is so expensive. This is a recipe for serious fire! You’re supposed to tac down the first layer, or use cold apply methods with a self adhesive layer… Cowboy chancer I was quoted 8k this year for my renewal for public liability because of plonkers like this….

[@neilgardner2399]

Sorry but torching straight onto board is not best practice I always nail first layer of base then torch second layer of base followed by top layer of mineral Where I have come across felt being torched straight to boards there has always been problems with it not bonding fully

[@TheLemartes]

i will come out and say it, all nice work but it irks me when you call OSB board plywood :) just saying

[@paulf2529]

You are not alone!

[@cliff4wd]

Me too. It's OSB, not plywood!

[@irechopshop]

Was just going to ask same question

[@nigeats65]

Agreed. Me too. But thought I would be called pedantic. Not just me then....!

[@wayneevans2605]

Mate I feel for you well not you but your knees... Please get some knee pads mucker 🙏

[@Mr_A_Builders]

I do in the winter and have a knee pad in the summer or at least most of the time anyway. Thanks for your concern Wayne

[@woodlandtroll4976]

Great video hate the music😢

[@Mr_A_Builders]

That’s a shame. Are you a long time viewer or have you just joined us? Just wondered because we’ve tried to keep our music similar in every video. Not had a ‘hate’ the music before only

[@cliff4wd]

Agree. Music is hit and miss. The ukalali and whistling shite is the one that grates most.

[@tazmaniachill]

Jesus m8 you had a bad weekend… I ran out of wine….😂

[@Mr_A_Builders]

I hope you’ve got enough sorted now and enjoyed the video with a glass or two. 🍷👍🏻

[@tazmaniachill]

Always do… my Sunday night pleasure keep up the good work you do 🍺
