Building A Wall & Installing A PVC Door - NEW WORKSHOP EPISODE 5

In this video I build an insulated stud wall in front of my roller garage door and install a secondhand PVC door. This wall will do three things: 1) it will limit the amount of sound coming in to the workshop from the nearby busy road and improve things thermally too 2) it will add an extra level of security to the workshop and 3) it will create a space at the front for timber storage accessible via the roller door. I used CLS timber to create a frame for the wall with studs and noggins and used plasterboard and MDF to clad the wall, plus a splash of white paint.

Isn't the aluminium profile that you cut off part of the lower doors isolation? Sure its in the way when rolling stuff in but there's a big gap now... Nevertheless: nice wall. I wonder how .any times you said “wall“ though... ;)

[@jmakes3745]

I did wonder about that although if it becomes an issue he can always attach a draft excluder to the bottom of the doors thsemselves

[@leighdurrant9116]

I'd screw it to the floor and just unscrew it when you need to

[@RagnBoneBrown]

I've added a rubber seal to the bottom of both doors

[@janicefrancis5045]

@@RagnBoneBrown That was going to be my suggestion, Keith. The men in my family have been carpenters for several generations. I know my dad would have enjoyed following your projects. Thanks.

[@Yet1moreUtuber]

Ok, out to my Garage to do basically the same, but with a *wider* door . hahaha poking fun ay ya!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

😂

Hello my friend. Great idea. informative beautiful video. I watched curiously. congratulations. Thank you for sharing.....

[@David-xu3yk]

5:38 really satisfying sound tapping the spacer out Haha. I agree with you on the door size too!

[@1959ticktock]

Your videos are great Keith. If that's what a teleprompter does for you, more KZbinrs should use them. It gives you authority and confidence, as well as a relaxed style which is easy on the ear. Oh, and the new garage is shaping up nicely. Coincidence that you and Jay Bates are both doing the same thing at the moment. Revealing the difference between the US and UK methods!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you! I would be lost without the teleprompter now. 😁

[@jimfriday3568]

Sorry Dude that wall isn't going to last you the winter. Sorry I dont want to sound like a troll I not but you have made some bad choices there with you materials. Painted plasterboard isn't going to last, at any tiny week point its going to absorb moisture which will sprend and infect your stud work, the damp will move fast because you choose to build yor studs to the size of you insulation and not the plaster board 300mm centres any less and the wall is paper mache. Do yourself a favour take down the plasterboard and get some exterior grade plywood yes it more pricey but will last. Also while mdf is a good sound proofer its crap if not treated. Prime it an get at least 2 coats of paint on there if you want it to last👍😊🍻

[@jimporter]

Think it will be fine behind a steel roller garage door.

[@mikedeman5351]

Great to see it coming together. Your thoughts about the door width make sense:). When I insulated my (much smaller) workshop I didn't notice a much of a difference in sound transmission (after I insulated the walls and ceiling) until I put insulated shutters on the windows, insulated 'plugs' in the air-vents , and draft-stripping around the door. Then it suddenly became 'quiet' . . . . .

[@jamesscaddon4369]

Great job, I'd of kept plasterboard 1/2" clear of floor, with skirting boards to stop damp rising 👍

[@chemcody5119]

That came out well Keith. I was thinking about future equipment when I saw the size of your new door, not the furniture you will be building/refinishing. All that would mean is you might have to disassemble a new tool down to it's basic parts if needed. No big deal really. Have you thought about filling in that inspection trench and pouring cement? Keep up the good work Keith!

[@ianmackney3089]

Pro tip, always leave the plasterboards about 25mm from the floor, as plastboards are gypsum based and porous and will suck up moisture and make the walls and timeber studs damp. Yes I see you've put it on DPC but you should elevate the plasterboard regardless.

[@Chumley360]

Seriously, I have got to start using the word "noggens". Love the progress on your shop!

[@NathanHolle]

Nice job👍 Few things I would have done differently, but Cracking job and looks great

[@tombarrett1487]

Nice work! I like hammer fixings for attaching wood to concrete/block work as you can drill through the wood, block and then smash the fixing home!

[@jmakes3745]

Great video mate, really enjoying watching the space come together and I look forward to seeing the things you make in it!

[@SeanEvelegh]

Nice video Keith, I was just wondering. If in the future you wanted to get some bigger machinery, how would you get it in having blocked the big entrance?

[@Dragonited]

Anything that will fit on a normal palet can get through the door lengthwise. So I think he will be alright.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Hi Sean, I don't plan on getting any large/industrial sized machines, I can't imagine wanting anything that wouldn't fit through a 1m wide opening

[@offlinecity4055]

When you don't have a plumb bob a heavy screwdriver with a hole in the handle works great.

[@pmzmdf]

Thank you for the video. Nothing make-shift at all about the plumb bob. Over an appreciable distance it is more accurate than a spirit level and a straight edge. Just as a tube with water in can transfer a horizontal level over large distances better than a horizontal spirit level. How did you brace the plasterboard sliver filler pieces between the bigger sheets that butted up to the wall and door frame? It looked like there was no vertical wood to screw into? Thank you again.

[@АлексейДолганин]

Открываешь гараж, а там вентилятор включен....Кто здесь?!

[@dalerichardsonrichardson4235]

Why dint you put the plaster boards on side ways like the mdf would of been less messing about

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Different sized sheets, MDF 8x4, plasterboard was 6x3

[@simonlunt353]

The screws you were using l have never seen anyone use with a brown plug and I know the stud work you would put at 400 centre would use more cls but as you say you were putting msg on the other side in all nice job 👍👏👏

[@arthurballs2754]

[@manbuysdog]

I've only just started watching your channel in the last few months, as a novice diyer, not only are they very entertaining but I also jot down any handy hints you provide, thanks for that very simple but brilliant advice on how to extend the length of your spirit level using a longer piece of wood, that's going to come in really handy, cheers.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Glad you like them!

[@usernamempk]

You might want some weather stripping to keep winter out.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

I've put a seal on the bottom of the doors, the rest of the seals are all good

[@GM-dc8vr]

Nice job overall. I would've gone for heavier/thicker plasterboard and mdf. I think this would go a lot further in eliminating noise than any insulation. Mass and density beats anything for sound.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Results will be revealed next week 👍

[@frankslittleworkshop]

Nicely done Keith 😁👍. Looking forward to some sound insulation comparisons. I'm still looking for a solution for my "Little workshop".. all of my videos have next doors dog barking in the background.. and I guess the whole street can hear my planer when it's running 🤔. Keep up the great vids 😁👍.

[@BischBaschBosch]

Kieth, good work on the studs mate. I'm so reliant on lasers these days but I liked the way you worked with what you had to get a result. People are making some valid points in the comments bud about the plaster board. At very least, I would suggest taking 20mm or so off the bottom of the boards to lift it off contact with the floor. Moisture issues with the board other than that will largely depend on how good a seal your garage door provides. It looks a nice one. Does it have a rubber seal/lipping on the bottom? You'll probably be alright if it does. If not, you'll want to keep an eye on the plaster boards. If it looks after a winter or two that damp is setting in, just remove it. Particularly as you're using it for wood storage. Totally agree with you on the door size. Plus, liking the plant pot!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Cheers. Yeah it does have a rubber seal at the bottom. I'll leave it as it is but keep an eye on it, I could always run an oscillating tool down the bottom of the plasterboard if necessary to get a bit more clearance but I think it's sitting on the dpc anyway

[@MrZOMBIE170]

i would of done pre fab any day build the frame flat on the concrete slab

[@roderashe]

[@glenntownsin9519]

Quick comment, French doors seem to be manufactured to be installed the other way round.. security, rain drainage, glazing etc! Although Not to much of a problem as you’ve got the roller garage doors👍

[@robmcmahon6782]

How come you had to use rawl plugs on the vertical beam? I thought it would be just the same as the horizontal beams? Love the garage though, the shop is gonna look amazing 👍🏻🤘🏻

[@RagnBoneBrown]

I don't know to be honest, I took advice from a builder who I met through the KZbin comment section! I guess it might be because the blocks are a less solid/more powdery than concrete perhaps

[@robmcmahon6782]

@@RagnBoneBrown ohhh, happy days, I'll keep that in mind for when I'm attempting my DIY

[@alasdairmackenzie515]

Know what you mean about the door. I'm swithering about the 900 wide door I have or getting a 1500 French Door. What, I think, will sway me towards the wider one is the thought of wanting a bit of kit further on down the line and struggling to get it through the bloody door. Knowing the occasional hassle of manoeuvring furniture, etc, into houses makes me want to avoid any such hassles again. I'm NOT going to build another workshop - might as well future-proof this one as far as possible...!

with that huge gap under the door i doubt you will see (hear) much improvement

Building the wall! Donald Trump wants to know your location!

[@tomcorbitt1242]

When I was finishing my basement I decided to go with a concrete floor stain but per the stain manufacturer I first had to check the dampness level to ensure it would successfully adhere and stay down. The manufacturer had you test by taping down a square of plastic to the floor for at least 48 hours. You then pull up the plastic and if you have a moisture problem you'll see the dampness in the gray outline where the plastic was on the floor (or in extreme cases the plastic will be wet) Here in my region of America housing slabs are usually 4 inches thick (100mm), unsure how things are over there but it's a simple test that might give you some peace of mind. I used a garbage bag and some gaffers tape to make removal easy when I did my test.

[@ΚΑΤΕΡΙΝΑΠΙΤΣΙΟΥ]

You told us the reason for installing a second door in your garage , but i wish there was no garage door because now in compare your wall and the glass door looks amazing (i think you can build a house now ) . At least when you can dont use the garage door is very ungly !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@emm_arr]

Good vid. You using the damp proof plastic reminds me of my recent use of it - to separate metal shelving supports from my cellar wall. I suspect it won't stop rusting, but I think it'll slow it a lot.

I have been looking forward to this video, as I plan on putting a wall in my garage to seperate the wet / dry areas. Thank you for detailing the process, fortunately I won't have to put in a door! You the man Keith!

[@Spetsnaz0o1]

Instead of the improv plumbbob you should've just eye'd in the head plate above the sole plate, screwed it on, then fixed your studs at either end to the head and sole and then just unscrewed the head plate, and plumbed the end studs up and refix the head. Good video though man

[@cjhification]

I've got some rubber black strip which has a raised round section in the middle of the profile that sticks down with glue to the floor and forms a really good weather seal, might be worth considering for under the doors. Loving your work

[@3dmazter]

What you need son is a cross line laser. That thing would have made this job so much more easy. You can use it for lots of jobs. Give it a try. And you forgot to add vapor bariers in your insulated wall. Now your drywall on the outside will get wet and fail. Great video nevertheless.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

I don't really do this kind of work often enough to warrant buying one

[@RagnBoneBrown]

The wall is inside the roller door so it won't get wet

[@3dmazter]

@@RagnBoneBrown the roller is thin steel I asume. And not air sealed so the temperature and moisture behind the roll will be the same as outside the roll. You could have at least used moisture resistand drywall.

[@3dmazter]

@@RagnBoneBrown about the laser level I dont use it every day neither but man does it make life easyer. think hanging wall cabinet level. level kitchen installs. level picture frames paintings and mirrors. leveling internal walls sloping drainage. meaasuring holesfor drilling and aligning built in sealing spots Its way more versatile than you think.

[@gavlewis]

Would have been easier to frame out the wall on the ground and then stand it up. Less mucking around that way.

[@ianpickin9141]

Make sure to apply some sds grease to your drill bits each time you use your sds drill. It'll save you alot of pain down the road 👍

[@simonlunt353]

Sorry mdf not msg 😔

[@debraprice7451]

Drywall (plasterboard) should be cut to end on center of studs to prevent any flexing or cracks in joints later on and you should leave a gap at the base so it will not absorb moisture from the cement. You also forgot to skim coat.

[@SteifWood]

Nice job. I was just asking myself when you started with the level on the wall, "Where is his plumb?" hahah Anyways, my take on the door: why a glass door when a crucial reason for installing (after storage space) is sound proofing? If it doesn't work, rip out the glass and install plaster sheets with insulation between. I sound proofed my own house using 2 layers of 12 mm plaster on a 2x2 frame that was mounted to the existing ceiling with metal springs. Works great.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

The double glazed pvc doors actually do a really good job. For info, I have two small and one large single glazed window in the workshop plus an old glazed door, all of which are letting in a lot more noise, but next week I will publish the full noise results, before and after 👍

[@garagemonkeysan]

Great job on the video. The wall looks great too. Can't wait to see the shop all finished. Mahalo for sharing! : )

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

Looks great and will keep out all the road noise as well as keeping in the tool noise that you make. I think it will suit you and the type of work you do.

[@DrLoveQc]

I usualy love your craftman but this wall isnt what I expected. Im not working in construction but drywall facing outdoor, woof framing with 2x3 facing an outdoor wall with roxul and not vapor barrier, spacing over 16’’ center, install door before doing the entire wall.. no headers over the door, and mdf that will swell from humidity... Dont expect great noise isolation from such a narrow wall. This garage door will probably stay open all days for light snd convenience so it should be made for ourdoor! otherwise I like your wood restoration!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

You might want to tune in next week for the noise results, you'll be surprised. By the way I am not a builder, nor did I ever say I was, this isn't the kind of work I do usually, I'm learning. And you're wrong about your assumptions as to how I will use the roller door - the only time I will ever open it is when I need to access the timber

[@ALWhiteAuthor]

When you're using a speed or rafter square to guide your circular saw cuts, put the point towards you and grasp from the far edge. This does two things in that you'll have a longer straight edge to guide the start of the cut as well as a better grip to push back against the blade as you make the cut.

@@RagnBoneBrown I don't think you'd get it out Keith, I'm a framer and one of our contacts for a year was installing these doors in New builds. Because the axle of the door is wider than the opening the door has to go in and out at an angle, and with yours having the motor it will be longer on the one side aswell and they're very hard to maneuver at around 100kg in weight.
