She's A Hazard... Demo With My New Apprentice

[@DexBunny]

Don't worry, Scott, we're here for you and your antics, not just carpentry!

[@ThomasA250]

'Why does Scott get all the free sh*t?!' - Can't wait to see Gaston show up soon with loads of stuff for Jess and Scott gets to look on with envy as she gets her own tools 😂

[@snowcarver]

Your videos are always such a vibe. I love sitting back and watching y'alls progress and please... don't apologize about coffee 😉

[@StaceWah]

Big vibe!!

[@damod321]

“Why does Scott get all the free stuff?!” Gold Jess, Gold 😂😂

[@dacob100]

Scott You have to use your moisture reader with the grain of the timber for it to give you accurate readings not across the grain. The device is measureing the resistance between the pins so for a stud, have the pins vertical to each other and for a nog/dwang have it horizontal.

[@AshHalls]

Makes sense

[@josephalexander3884]

This is one of my favorite videos thus far. The music was incredible. Happy birthday Scott. My hats off to Eva and her husband. Cudos to her for providing the tools for Jess to use. Nice work Jess. As to the coffee, I believe it is carpentry related. Show me one contractor that does not drink coffee and I’ll show them drinking tea. Cheers.

[@LoredanaKeks]

It’s great! My shed has been completed and it turned out nice looking and sturdy and it is way better than the sheds that many of my neighbors had put up. Of course, I'm pleased with the outcome and this Ryan’s kzbin.infoUgkxGZedDTcDfgD7fG_uU4esfx_EgxzlY2_1 Plans was extremely useful to me as a guide.

[@davidgreen424]

We watch not for just the building skills but the vibe you and just have , it's all the shots of flowers, weather , coffee and tool opinion that set your videos apart . Oh and Happy Birthday Scott .

[@scottspropertyservices6877]

That was awesome of Eva to supply Jess with tools & equipment! Always exciting to get new stuff even if it is for someone else.

[@michaelfrogley4295]

We got our attic professionally cleared of that old insul-fluff 100m2 house for $600 here in Auckland, totally worth it Scott. The team arrived with a truck vacuum and did the job in a day.

[@ktulu193]

Happy birthday Scott! Removing the insul-fluff is definitely a winter job. Good to tackle it now!

[@rickdringoli9444]

HAVE A GLORIOUS BIRTHDAY SCOTT BROWN....YOU ARE WELL ON YOUR WAY.....

[@markwagner4909]

We are lucky We had a dumpster at our house renovation and kept it. Friends would also use it and if there was anything they felt we might be interested in they would leave it outside the dumpster. Also just watching you doing the insulation, I’ve got the itch all over and I feel like I’m the one needing a shower Very good video

[@Erik_The_Viking]

Hammer time! Jess was having some fun there. Happy birthday Scott! You got some nice birthday gifts that are very appropriate for a coffee person. Nothing better than fresh ground coffee beans.

[@alanf1582]

Hi Scott, Jess, ref your ceiling insulation insulation issue. As you have pointed out you dont want to block the ventilation while getting the insulation right onto the interal leaf of the external wall. Our construction here in the UK is cavity block or brick wall. 100mm or greater cavity. I put 1m long sections of Rockwool flexy the thicknes of the rafter around the perimiter of the roof and then fill the rest of the roof space with fiberglass insulation as required by the building regs. This means there are no cold spots at the perimiter of any of the rooms preventing mould growth. Hope the project is going well.

[@joelchogan]

Great to see you guys working on the house together . My wife and I have renovated out 1950s queenslander together and had a great time doing it.

[@terrytopliss9506]

Hi Scott,so pleased you’ve been able to make a start on your home. It’s really nice to see people reaching out to you with different things to help with the renovation of your home. Jess is coming on well with the demo. Thanks for the latest exciting episode.👍👍

[@more.power.]

Hi Scotty & Jess another great episode. Nice to have a righthand apprentice you are wonderful Jess. Happy birthday Scotty have a great weekend. I love that you guys are building your home an lives together. My wife and I been together 45 years you guys will have such a wonderful lives together also. Scotty thank you for sharing it with us.

[@jackknows6509]

Our daughters birthday is July 22 as well. Happy Birthday... Jess, if he doesn't get out of the way, that is wat the cat claws are for!!! Great teamwork.

[@johnschiltz6440]

Happy Birthday, Scott! Lovely new apprentice! I kept coughing watching you take up the insulation.

[@Daniel-fo2qf]

Hi Scott, I am currently demolishing a 90 square meter house which had insulfluff and you definitely did yours the tidiest way. I tried both ways and sucking it out while the ceiling is still intact is still hard work but it did create a lot less mess. I spent several months of weekends last year sucking it all out with a leaf blower that I modified with a fitting and some aluminum ducting. Used the leaf blower in the ceiling and and ran the ducting down into the floor into old duvet covers which were tied around the ducting. The leaf blower sucks all the insulfluff into the duvet cover like a giant vacuum bag. Then once full tie the end up drag the cover outside and dispose. You should be safe with the asbestos as I believe it is made from old newspapers with a fire retardant added, it is still horrible stuff to be breathing in though, full face respirator is the way to go.

[@StaceWah]

On top of a loooong list of things that make you and this channel great is ... how simply and effectively you make compelling points. The Gib/ProRoc stuff wasn't the focus of the video but reminded me of how well you convey your insights. It's why your storytelling is sahhh güüd ^.^

[@rogerbayzand4455]

Why not leave the insulation and put new plasterboard over the existing ceiling? We did this with an 1870 house with a lathe and plaster ceiling, after seeing the mess some friends made when they ripped down their ceiling we said "Stuff that!", worked a treat and is still there 40 + years later. Happy Birthday Scott.

[@nickcrider4309]

I always saw Scotts Stagg kettle and wondered if he had the Ode grinder. Coming from someone who's main profession is coffee and for whom carpentry is just the hobby, those are some quality tools there my man!

[@l2andom]

I'm not even a builder or know the first things about building but always happy when you have a new episode up. Happy Birthday Scott.

[@matgbx]

I love that your videos are about more than carpentry. Keep the coffee montages coming. Always good to see people happy and passionate about things :)

[@Oieboie1]

That proroc brand is a european brand, they make building materials ranging from plaster boards to actual plaster to facade renders. Here (in the netherlands) the brand is called gyproc (probably derivedfrom gypsum rock) and part of the bigger concern saint gobain.

[@allanm2601]

Happy Birthday Scott. Look forward to another episode each weekend. Jess does a great job and your views of the countryside and snacks provides a nice touch. You've developed the program perfectly to a bit of carpentry, the occasional guest, new tools and other bits and pieces to make exciting viewing and a bit of extra income to cover expenses and the house reno's - well done.

[@taakahiborell7037]

What I did get out of that whole ceiling tidy up was how good a battery powered vacuum is IF you ever had to do that kind of thing again!

[@Brik-in-the-sticks]

1960 houses were build with Douglas fir. Looks like pine but is stronger, and it has a slight orange tint to it.

[@jethrot.fruits5722]

Watching from Las Vegas, so jealous of that beautiful rain you guys get! Happy birthday, thanks for your awesome content!

[@paintball130]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SCOTT!

[@katrinabell7684]

Wow that ceiling was a lot of work.. looked amazing though after you had cleaned it!! Welll done Jess. Happy birthday Scott 🎈🎉🎈🎉

[@blackballroastery36]

Happy Birthday Scott - glad you enjoyed the coffee.

[@tippo5341]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SCOTT!!!!!!! There'll be more moisture in that gyprock than the timber after that run from the shed to the house 🤣🤣🤣🤣 N could always have a worse apprentice...I reckon with some learning Jess would make a good offsider 😁😁😁😁

[@user-uu6tx6zt7q]

I am also a constructionworker And sometimes have my own projects in my workplace So good of you Scot you do carpentery with your wife Good luck for you two Greetz from Netherlands

[@davidmadill9268]

Happy birthday Scott! Awesome demo montage with Jess. Good on you for posting these videos. Quality content!

[@paulfriedman4767]

When alll you've got is a hammer, everything looks like a nail! Nelson looks beautiful. Happy Birthday Scott.

[@erinmichelle6313]

Totally addicted to your show.. You guys are gorgeous together.. Happy Birthday, Scott! ✌️from Aus

[@kaine904]

Happy Birthday! Agreed with Twitchy, we dig the antics as much as the carpentry!

[@perrybrown4985]

Working inside roofs is the absolute worst - I feel your pain. As a 14yo kid, "helping" my electrician dad in the middle of the Australian summer, I always got the job of working inside the roof... It was awful and I felt like I would die up there (it was hard to see or hold stuff, with the sweat runnin down). Compared to that, I used to look forward to being sent under the floor. And we didn't have any of that fancy breathing gear or protective clothing - so I would come out caked in muck and coughing up dirt and dust. 50 years later, I am somehow still going, so I guess it mustn't have been the bad dust... (there was plenty of asbestos around then)

[@Apex180]

Happy Birthday Scott. Interesting to see the company I work for products in another part of the world.

[@jefersonbrito_16]

The most hazard apprentice in New Zealand...😂 Eva was so kind to give that tools to Jess. Happy birthday Scott.

[@Paul-jz1lv]

Happy Birthday, Scott! Mine was yesterday, so have a cup of coffee for both of us.

[@rossmckenzie2283]

Time for candles and cake Scott. Hope you have a great birthday... you deserve it. Cheers from Melbourne.

[@TheSanzca]

For the drywall, just make sure it is not similar to the Chinese manufactured drywall that was used in Florida a few years ago when they had a shortage. That drywall emitted some kind of sulfur gas that caused all metal, pipes, door knobs etc to start corroding causing all kinds of issues, not to mention I am sure it is not great for your health. Good luck with the renovation.

[@kiwigrunt330]

Wow, that's the kind of stuff that we (everywhere) find out when it is too late...

[@krayonss]

happy birthday scott! your videos are always such a relaxing 1/4 hour or so. Can’t wait to see the house develop

[@marpa0]

Happy wonderful birthday Scott! All the best to you! Thanks for your videos!

[@carlgreen2721]

Happy Birthday Scott...great to see the progress you 2 are making and even better to see a youtuber being honest and saying I try things and it doesnt always go right but ill learn for next time!

[@deadlyxenomorph3505]

Happy Birthday. Another good tip for dealing with insulation is to put baby talc powder over your skin, blocks your pores and you don't get itchy, back or the neck, arms, legs etc

[@plumbobmillionaire6246]

Hey Scott. Love the channel. You should look into getting a Makita dsd180z drywall saw. Has a vac port and you can set the blade depth so never have to worry about nicking cables or pipes. So good for reno work. Cheers from the Sunshine Coast Canada

[@petermorgan8336]

Love that drywall saw.

[@amuongosia624]

Hey Scott, My bro work at the Gib factory, they’re 5 months behind lol it’s a 50year old building with old machines, they can’t keep up! Does not help when Covid lock down and it’s not essential work, and on going off workers off due to Covid, their operation running 24hrs, 4 on 4 off… new factory in Tauranga will bring better operations, but start next year lol we need like yesterday! Happy Birthday Scott , what date? Im on July too lol

[@Joseph-jx8bl]

I’m sick with Covid, so I guess I’ll catch up on my favorite New Zealand Carpenter! I did get the Makita track saw after watching your channel…love it!

[@robertunderwood6788]

Happy birthday. Your apprentice is having way too much fun. Haha.

[@hamderole]

Congratulations on your birthday. I absolutely love my Fellow Ode grinder. A great hack for avoiding static is to spray a tiny bit of water on the beans before grinding.

[@oscarsearle2205]

Happy Birthday Scott

How satisfying is it working on your own pad! Loving the vids, keep them coming.

Happy Birthday Scott . In Sydney where getting lots of rain as well

[@jeffgolden2301]

Happy Birthday Scott and glad to hear you are adding an apprentice to help.

[@kennethcampbell2323]

Great opportunity to talk about tools you use on the renovation. Some new renovators would like to hear about the origin of some of the tools, especially the electric and cordless models. The small pry bars and their Japanese cousins would be great starting points. Happy Birthday

[@darrenpaulgreen]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SCOTT! Hope you and Jess get to chill 😀

[@goodfella4493]

Happy birthday Scott!! Yeah

[@MikeTheMass]

I couldn’t help but think of your stories about jib/plasterboard, this summer (in Scandinavia) when I did my guest house. I think I payed like 14 NZD för 13x1200x2400mm sheets, and thousands in stock all around where I live. I started thinking about loading and shipping containers south.

[@stevec5192]

Hey Scott. I seen you go into the roof and clean it up… not worth it in my opinion. It will waste so much time especially on a clients house. Just make sure the room is sectioned off. And you’ve got a lackey. Haha. Seen you since you started. Good to see you made the move down Nelson out of Auckland. We are potentially about to do the same but from tauranga to either kaikoura or paihia. Keep up the good work on the reno. Cheers.

[@whatthehellimbored]

That rain is beautiful we're in the middle of a draught where live.

[@paulfblackburn]

Happy Birthday, good luck for the rest of the reno

[@TheBeaker59]

Great move cleaning out before bringing down the ceiling I once very nearly killed myself using the pull down and deal with the mess after method. So I didn't wear a dust mask at the beginning (in defence that was in the H&S second days 20yrs ago) anyway I got Pneumonia which hospitalised me it was touch and go there for a while. Similar era house with many layers of old insulation and signs of past rodents etc.

[@mohedaicebear]

happy birthday Scott. the fellow ode is so nice James Hoffman would be proud.

[@batmansdad3195]

If it wasn't pro Roc I slung it was CGC drywall for us here in Manitoba. Happy birthday Scott! Best month of the year to have a bday

[@timwillmot4941]

Hey Scotty, Not sure if that ceiling board is asbestos or not but I my old place I ripped down the first room full of insulfluf and after that I said no way so I screwed the fibrous at 200mm centers then glued and used 41mm screws with 10mm Gib over the top. Saved heaps of time and money.

[@DiscoFang]

You could have saved even more of both. You could have skipped the gib. Once you screw the crap out of the pinex you can just skim coat it. You can not tell the difference once painted and it's solid-as.

[@adamsanders89]

straight grain light pine looking wood could be Kahikatea? I have a load of salvage floor boards that are Kahikatea and they are similar looking, as its NZ tallest tree I was told by father in law that they used them a lot for long run floorboards back in the day

[@flightographist]

Today, I had to cut a bunch of branches off a fir and a sugar maple with a pole saw to clear up my TLE broadband reception: as I commenced cutting the first branch ( 25 feet up), my mind said Scott Brown Here! true story!

Smooth transition for the square space plug dude! Very Nice!!

[@iplayzthegames6968]

wish id i invested in a sawzall. i ripped out an entire barn conversion by hand and it was a pain in the ass, they did it properly for the time and then later added a dropped roof and a cupboard and toilet to convert it to an office space, bricked up the door into the house. i used handtools to take out all the plasterboard then all the studs. i had to use a manual impact driver to remove screws bolting studwork to the wall, never even seen one before that but it was all i had access to. Took me about 2 weeks in my evenings to get it all apart so i could salvage as much of the wood as possible before the builders came in and did the works, i was still in college training to be a carpenter so didnt have any skill to do what was planned

[@rick2bees]

Happy birthday from Belgium, Scott !!!!

[@RoryF93]

Happy Birthday Scott! Best wishes from Australia

[@MrLukeChandler]

Happy birthday Scott! Have you considered running cat6 to each room to future proof?

[@fecnde]

Yes ! This! Sure wifi is easy but a hardwire connection is so much better. I’d suggest cat6 in all rooms that you reline. On a few sides of the room if it’s possible.

[@MrLukeChandler]

@@fecnde absolutely! Mesh Wifi is even better when you have both units connected to Ethernet too. 2 Ethernet per bedroom and 3-4 in the lounge (smart TV, game consoles, chromecast ultra, smart hub for lights, hub for security cameras). It’s endless. Of course all wired back to a central location (like a cabinet or in wall unit).

[@TheOneWhoMightBe]

@@MrLukeChandler Even with 2 eth ports I'd still run four cables and just leave the two spares in the wall unterminated for redundancy or for futureproofing (my office could really do with another two ports but I can't actually get any more cables in without pulling gyp off and feeding them through a couple of s-bends). Cheaper and easier to do it now than later.

[@theablanca17]

@@MrLukeChandler yeah, and be prepared for PoE etc. Makes things much easier. Esp for mesh, but perhaps with jacks placed close to ap etc. i would love to go all out on such a thing.

[@theablanca17]

@@cmmartti yeah, that house and perhaps their needs. IoT needs at times different things. Often you need to bring out ethernet for mesh etc anyways. I would do a mix of both, but wouldn't rely only on wifi as that can be a MESS when there's 10-20 IoT things all wanting to connect, and then everything else. Wired ethernet speced high will ALWAYS give you advantages. Like, nicely placed mesh APs with PoE so you gets rid of power supplies etc. But. to each their own.

[@dcr00k]

In the States we have some really good thin prybars designed exclusively for removing trim without denting the underlying wood. Sharkbite is my preferred brand. Can you get these in New Zealand? They can get behind anything. The edge will actually cut you. I generally prepare mine by dulling the edge a tiny bit and filing the corners a little bit round. I keep one of these prybars in my every day bag. Maybe have a look.

[@androcus]

Wow again the transition completely caught me by surprise. Nice!!
