Enjoy watching your videos, now retired after 51 years in the trades but miss doing this type of work, i was an advance craft city and guilds plumber and also had level 3in bricklaying and worked in a team with other trades doing this type of work so picked bits of other trades as well really enjoyed it

[@donoconnor4204]

Great as always! What a slog with all that preparation. As always will look superb when finished.

[@leehewitt9559]

Brilliant video as always. Thanks so much for going to the time and trouble to create these great videos. 👌👌

[@StankoGardasevic]

Great video's lads. Well done, thoroughly enjoy everyone

[@simoncarney9944]

Great work once again from Rich and Matt! Lots of tips and tricks to take away from this video! Have a fun week both of you.

[@paulf2529]

Im glad you consider where the facia board joints are. Im really conscious of this sort of detail . Something that doesn't take a massive amount of extra time but makes the job.

[@alanreeves459]

Another great video 👍 Good to see the internals starting. On the home straight now

[@PeteH.90]

Great job Rich & Matt!

Use an offcut of the fascia, lay it over the fascia to be pinned, mark a pair of pin spacings on the board and transfer to the offcut. Just nick the edge of the offcut at the required marks with a knife and you have a jig for all subsequent fascia jobs as well as this one. Gable knee for the tile corbels.

[@paulf2529]

For the stop tap, consider fitting a sure stop this way, you can have it in a convenient location. Personally, i always make sure there is a proper working traditional brass stop tap but like to then fit a surestop to allow more convenient isolation, especially for elderly clients.

[@michaelcottam2764]

Nice finish to fascia’s, but you didn’t mention putting expansion gaps where there’s joints and corners. Shouldn’t adhesive only be applied to one side of a joint and a small expansion gap left the other side ?

[@Mr_A_Builders]

It all came down to the edit Michael and I thought I could cut that bit out. People already say I talk too much so I didn’t want to fuel the fire so to speak. You are correct a gap should be left and only put glue on one side. I generally look at the side that’s seen the most to add the adhesive to. Thanks for the comment Michael.

[@paulf2529]

Were paint blisters on a soffit board, It's a sure sign it is asbestos, the blistering is due to the alkaline nature of the asbestos cement substrate.

HI, what blade are you using to cut the pvc with the angle grinder? Standard 1mm abrasive? Or anything fancy? Thanks.

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Yes mate a standard 1mm blade they are excellent for this kind of thing. I use it for many different applications. 👍🏻

Hello Richie, slightly off topic I know but can you recommend a decent fast setting wood glue - tackling squeaky staircase at home next week - am able to access the underside of the stairs so planning to fit some timbers between risers and treads - screwed and glued, regards Nick

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Hi Nick I’d recommend a D4 foaming wood glue which you can get in a tube as well. However we use illbruck foaming glue for a foam gun. Take a look at their site www.illbruck.com/en-gb/products-systems/product-overviews/foams/ 👍🏻

[@1tonyboat]

Just done mine a few weeks ago and i used Gorilla glue the polyurethane one ,,,brilliant stuff but don`t get it on your hands it`s a sod to remove,,

[@Brown969]

Flat downlights You can get 35mm deep downlights that are 7w and require a 75mm hole.

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Cheers mate. The sparky has come good and sorted it out 👍🏻

[@scottb20]

Great job, I wouldn't get in the habit of pre nailing the pins tho because if your on a big site alot of the time the scaffolding can get in the way of driving them home 😅

[@Mr_A_Builders]

I wouldn’t go on a big site for all the tea in China. Not interested at all in that environment. 👍🏻

[@scottb20]

@@Mr_A_Builders I wouldn't blame you 😅 wasn't a criticism to be fair, love the videos 👍

[@seanmerry8175]

How do you fix the starter channel to the brick wall/asbestos soffit. Would CT1 do the job? Looks like a neat install👍

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Yes Sean I used CT1 which I believe I mentioned in the video. Thanks for commenting 👍🏻

How old is the house, that 'utility' room looks very much like it was a coal hole originally!? When I started in the electrical trade in the 1970's extensions like that were our bread and butter jobs! Over the years it became apparent that during the hard times people had extensions and when things were better people moved house, I don't know if it's still like that now!?

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Hi Sarge. We believe that the utility was and old coal house and outside toilet. Thanks for commenting mate. 👍🏻

[@aethermech4585]

Hey Adam. Just wondering because I haven't seen a video about it. How'd the retaining wall that needed to be redone in the garden that was at the bottom of the hill get resolved? You mentioned you realized the mistake you had made due to the amount of water/moisture the area receives.

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Hi this is Rich not Adam. There was a part two to that did you see it?

[@aethermech4585]

@@Mr_A_Builders Yup, re-watched to make sure I didn't miss anything and found the part that caused my confusion. Adam mentioned going back during a hot dry week during the summer and redoing what he could with the wall, but I missed the part where he said he was going to do it quick'ish without trying to interrupt the other work you guys were doing. I imagine that he got that wrapped up asap and didn't do any recording, which is only proper running a business and all. I was just hoping to get to see some of the fiddly bits and how he solved some of the issues. Love watching the channel, you guys are true craftsmen. Keep up the great work

@@Mr_A_Builderswould a gable end of the facia be sealed? Or is it supposed to be on loose to allow air flow? Sandstone tenement. 1820.
