Don’t think you should be drilling so close to the bearing end of the joist, more work but better practice to bring the pipe work towards the old pipes parallel to a joist and then drill through joists towards the cent re of the span in the “safe area”. Maybe a video on how to lift floorboard gently to mitigate “mullering” them, and please don’t throw rubbish into the void.

you missed out how exactly to do the most important things though. how do you disconnec the radiator without getting water everywhere? how exactly do you refill the system? i'm probably going to be moving a radiator after taking away a pointless stud wall that was built the entire length of a wall just to hide a waste pipe at one end. so i only need to move it about 10 inches back, but i've no idea how to shut off the water, how to refill it...

This video is terrible. Starting from cutting floorboards. You could mention to cut them very carefully not going deeper with blade than thickness of the floorboards. There might be pipes running right underneath the floorboard where you cutting. Nobody want’s to flood the place. Drilling straight through the floorboard is another risk of hitting either pipes or electrical cables. You haven’t shown how to hang radiator and how to measure where brackets should be. I know it’s easy for you but whoever is watching this video is not having a clue how those things work and it might be the case that it’s holding drill for the first time anyway. Is socket underneath radiator ok with regs?

How would you have done it?
@karlmanderson86803 жыл бұрын
@@Richard-ij8ge With the client specifically telling you they were going to have the floor boards as the flooring, you should have ideally lifted them properly, and re laid them properly so there would have been no trace any work had been carried out at all. (Other than the radiator being moved obviously) This is the mark of a true professional and craftsman. The use of cutting tools is not required and simply laziness, do the job right to get the end results right. Understandable this takes more time but if customer not happy with extra cost for said time to do it right you could have at least 1) taken more care cutting to not cut into boards that would not need to be removed, 2) not cut 2 boards in a line, think of a running joint in brick work, they should always be staggered. Cut more up or down the board to give it a staggered effect and not draw as much attention to a big cut 3) The tool you used to lift the boards, and your technique resulted in boards being split. That was destructive and invasive to save time / effort. You went in at the corners and split the corners also. Pry tools that don't evenly distribute the force will just split pine. It's a soft wood not a hard wood you cannot simply handle it like that and expect it to be fine. What you done leaves the dreaded council workman style access panel by radiators, and what makes it worse is their T&G was in quite good nick and will now require repairs (replaced floorboards) if they are having it finished by sanding / stain as this will be very noticeable. You cannot reliably fill a gap in flooring due to movement, so the only fix for what you have done is board replacement. Think if you wanted to have your wooden floors finished, then the plumber comes in to move your radiator and leaves a big gash in the floor, I bet you wouldn't be too happy deciding if you wanted a big cut in the floor, or to pay for a joiner to come out and replace those split boards before getting the floor done
