Day 2 - Framing and roofing of the conservatory

[@gracie2298]

Thank you, lovely garden. Looking forward to end result on this project. Enjoyed the fast forward, with detailed explanations.

[@Ladybug-uf7uh]

Thank you for this update on your progress. I think you are beginning to "catch on" with your subscribers and views. Congratulations. You do good work and explanations help us to understand why you do what you do. Your video quality is pretty good, too.

[@hannetang]

Thankyou ☺️

Just come across this. Looking to rebuild my knackered conservatory and this look like a great guide to follow. I have subscribed 👍🏻

[@UXPRENEUR]

Your video is the only video I could find that actually shows how to connect a conservatory to the dwarf wall. Now you use a membrane rather than pressure treated ground contact lumber like some others who attach wood to brick with concrete block screws. I’m not sure which to do, but don’t think it wise to do both. I guess it depends on the wood you get. Pressure treated here in So Cal is dark stained, and doesn’t look as good as natural wood. So, I’ll likely use your mortar and membrane technique to ensure that the wood doesn’t get rot from the brick moisture. Thank you.

It’s coming along nicely 👍🏻

Build and repair and restore I should have said ‘looking good future husband’ 😉

[@larryholland1466]

What did you use between the and the sill and mortar? Will the sill dry out

[@Bubbles-qm8lq]

you need to do more videos and for longer

[@harryf1ashman]

This was perfect for me. My mother has a somewhat similar but smaller conservatory which needs renovating. I would be interested to know about the window frames. Were they ones you made earlier?

[@reachcara]

Ine more thing, dis this require building control appro al at all with the new roof?

[@reachcara]

Hey. Nice video. Can i ask where you purchased the timber for this build and what it is? Thanks

[@AbdulHadi-jo6if]

Can I ask what holds the wood seal in place does it hold onto the cement and is that bond strong enough ?

[@IsraelitesUnited]

Did you use any other fixing than cement to fix the window seal to the base wall thanks

[@tigertruckerman]

Do you have to cement the damp proof membrane?

[@darrenthebuilder]

@@tigertruckerman yes

[@cathiwim]

Interesting that you do the rubber membrane then another mud bed, and lay the wood in THAT. It wouldnt pass code here. And the ledger board for the rafters has to be thru bolted to the upper floor rim joist.

[@darrenthebuilder]

Hi where do you live? All countries have different methods Cheers

[@IsraelitesUnited]

How did you fix the frame to the window seal base

[@stephenquinn3950]

Hi, great build. Can I ask how much it cost please and what degree of fall was used (if any?)

[@darrenthebuilder]

Hi it was the original fall which was about 30% or so. I think it cost around 6-7 K

[@Fightssss]

What size tibers did you use for the roof ?? Also we're they 400mm spaced out ??

[@PropPlanePat]

Im sorry to dig this video out of the past but Im about to do a similar (smaller) project and have found your videos super helpful. I had one question if you dont mind, I wasnt clear on the attachment of the sill to the wall. Is the sill just connected to the wall by the mortar you put between it and the membrane or was there anything else attaching it to the wall? Many thanks.

[@JohnDuffell]

gravity is what holds it in place. If you have concerns you could use bent strap similar to what's used on flat roofs and gable walls

[@TRPGpilot]

What is holding this down top the wall? Surel;y it cant be that little bit of mortar that was spread on top of the DPC?

[@mariodevercelli4674]

Great job!! Watched the whole series! 👌Would you be able to share where do you buy the external sill and what is the name of the product? Thank you!!

[@darrenthebuilder]

Hi Thankyou Mario. I purchased the hardwood cill from Champion Timber. I think the wood was called Meranti

[@josephwhite8752]

Loved this series as it’s something I’m looking to do so super helpful. Can I ask… would you let the mortar dry before building the frame on the sills and was there anything else attaching the sills to the brickwork? Thanks

[@martinmeasures6631]

What hard wood you use

[@darrenthebuilder]

Hi it’s called Meranti

[@martinmeasures6631]

Thanks

[@ballalsjad128]

Whhere do u get the window sill fro.

[@ballalsjad128]

Where did u get the window sill from or did you make it ? What size wood did u use for joices for the roof ? Brilliant video new subscriber cant wait to see next project

[@darrenthebuilder]

Hi Ballal thanks 😊 I purchased the sills from a timber store. I think the joists were 6” x 2”

[@SuperRJ80]

What did you charge for this?
