The Builders that you have working on your second ( dog not Kevin )house are excellent. Not being in the building trade, I’ve been impressed and amazed at the amount of work and materials used in the complete building. I’m absolutely certain that a beer or two will be consumed once it’s inhabited by you and your gang!

Great to watch the build except for the plaster board in the bathroom. Plasterboard (drywall) isn't suitable for use behind tiles in a shower because it is not water-resistant, you should use a material designed to withstand prolonged water exposure, such as: Cement Board (e.g., HardieBacker or Durock), Foam Backer Boards (e.g., Kerdi Board or Wedi Board), and Waterproof Membranes for extra protection, especially if using cement board, a waterproof membrane (like Kerdi or RedGard) can be applied over the surface to ensure that no water can penetrate the wall, and ensure that your shower remains durable and resistant to water damage for many years. Secondly, on the outside where the holes are drilled in the wood, field mice can get in the gaps between the pipes and the siding, so those too need to be sealed. Mice can squeeze through incredibly small spaces-as small as 6 mm (1/4 inch), which is about the size of a pencil. To prevent mice from entering, you can pack around the pipe with:Steel Wool: Mice are unable to chew through steel wool effectively, making it a great barrier, especially in combination with other materials. After packing with steel wool, you can apply a layer of expanding foam that is designed to be pest-resistant. This helps seal the gap completely and provides an added layer of protection. Lastly, for a more permanent solution, especially for masonry walls, using cement-based mortar or high-quality silicone caulk after packing with steel wool provides an effective and long-lasting seal. Caulk can be applied around smaller gaps, while mortar is better for larger spaces in brick or concrete walls. I love the green roof, it sure is amazing to watch this build. Thanks for taking us along.

[@homeimprovements]

Thanks mate the plasterboard there good reason and itlll become clear on the next video and the hole on the pipe work again we have something lined up for that 😁😁

Life hack for the 50 mil cut around the edge of the rubber. We created a guide with a wood batten and plank. Nail the batten to the plank leaving 50 mil underneath so then the batten sits on top of the roof you can run a stanly knife along the bottom of the wood plank
