Stone House Renovation - Part 7: New wooden beams for the first floor

[@tiogoala7654]

Love the honesty of your video. Mistakes do happen, and that scaffolding in-between the beams was extra, lol. Good work.

I don't know if it's too late, but if not, you should put some electrical insulating material between the steel beam and copper pipe. Otherwise, the dissimilar metals will touch and cause galvanic corrosion.

[@vale.do.salgueiro]

Thanks for the suggestion, did not think of that. Will try to do that.

[@e.m.3815]

OMG ! So good you have given that advice ...we learned that the hard way when 6 Month later blackish water ran down our allready painted bedroom wall 😱🤦‍♀

[@lorraineelderhurst4199]

In Australia we don't use copper as a rule but use pex pipe

[@toddincabo]

@@vale.do.salgueiro Better do more than try, not a matter of if, but when.

[@tiogoala7654]

@@lorraineelderhurst4199 pex will not be practical. Forest fires will melt that quick, copper is a better way to go.

[@heatherarthur6232]

That was so funny at the end…great thinking Einstein.😂

[@rodricbr]

yeah haha. I would've done the same thing

[@qatsi00]

As an Australian, this place looks exactly like where I grew up, ferns, road side and all. The only two giveaways is the licence plates, and the fact no one makes beautiful things like this anymore.

[@9Antonian]

Great channel, this is a going to be a beautiful house on a beautiful property, you may want to install rubber or pvc between the copper and the steel you will have an issue with electrolysis down the road. Thank you for sharing your project.Haha……was wondering about the scaffolding.

[@HermannCortez]

100%

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

The scaffolding thing could have happened to almost anyone (and definitely to me)! 😁 ;-) 2) Please consider to isolate the copper pipes from the steel beam properly (to avoid contact corrosion between different types of metal). Best regards, luck and especially health to all involved.

*Great job guys!* _This stone house must look beautiful with blindex glass doors and windows!😍_

[@VFRSTREETFIGHTER]

Amazing work, I love seeing the progress. Great video as always, thanks for sharing it.

[@BreakingBarriers2DIY]

Superbly filmed and commented. Some of the best content of this style.

[@HappyvanVWt4]

Fantastic! It looks more and more beautiful!

[@Harryset1]

Well, that is DIY on another level! Excellent work - and a sprinkler system seems to be a very good idea!

[@henkgertlenten]

Very nice job with these ginormous beams!

The problem with Eycyptus is that it splits and twists as it dries... but maybe the rock will hold it in place well enough so it won't matter.

[@berone1642]

Great work!! it takes a lot to do such job almost on your own!! fantastic videos to watch! keep it on

[@GoGentlier]

Love the engineering!

[@09conrado]

It's amazing with that eucalyptus wood, that such a fast growing tree can have such hard, dense and heavy wood. It checks easily though, I noticed. But those beams will easily last for generations

[@originalsusser]

Eucalyptus' fast growth comes at a price. If it's not cut, then properly dried into straight beams, it will warp, twist & split like crazy. We Australians know this as fact

[@invest48]

Hard and fast - I have some doubts. For the same specie, modern wood is often weaker, one can see less streaks with modern wood - required productivity. Insects love this tree, rarely dense tree.

[@franepleadin623]

Bravo!

[@HannaZiadeh]

Most original building project on utube🎉

[@keithmason5584]

Fantastic progress in such a small amount of time , fabulous 👍❤

[@BreakingBarriers2DIY]

OMG the ending. Lol so awesome. I’ll say it again…the very best content.

[@AlvinNieforth]

You are ONE SMART MAN!!!!

[@warrenmusselman9173]

It would've been a great idea to prime and paint the steel before installing it. A 2K etching primer and a 2K epoxy type paint. The scaffolding is utterly hysterically funny. I laughed the whole time until the end when you cut it up and welded it back together.

[@save9624]

I was waiting for the little mistake realization at the end!😅 Amazing work nonetheless!!

[@maartzusjes5293]

haha well done! nice way to practice your welding! But you did a very great job!!

[@paulm.8554]

Great job! The ending was quite funny!!

[@juliansudano4453]

Eucalyptus was widely planted in California in the 1900s to be used as rail road ties.... however they soon realized it warped, twisted and split all too readily.

[@luccadukka]

Really enjoying this.

[@nnrrgg2011]

Un trabajo fabuloso, admirable. Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷

[@Kwazulujabul]

Can’t believe the Scaffoulding could carry the weight of those massive wooden beams. 😮

[@goglebert]

Do you believe these beams won't get distorted too much with time to not to get in trouble? As you mentioned they were cut wet and they are quite fissured already on the ends. I am worried

[@SurekhaNM-k1y]

exactly what I was thinking, they are already cracking up.

[@originalsusser]

Australian woodworker here. You are 100% right! Eucalyptus requires cutting into desired sizes, then locked kiln drying or similar aged air drying to preserve straightness & grain integrity. Its propensity to warp and split is well known here. One of the best timbers in the world when prepared properly. One of the worst when used wet

[@timshaw8187]

No music just skill and hard work love it

[@goglebert]

@@originalsusser here he had cut it into desired pieces. Do you think there was done a mistake? What kind of?

[@ghut487]

I like the work you do, but I think the steel H profile is not positioned in the most effective way , i needs to be turned 90 degrees

[@5sequoia]

Best of luck and adventure to you. 🙂

important thing is to pass inspection it'll all come good in the end, one way or another stay strong 🤠😎

[@misternobody321]

So these cracks in the beams aren’t a concern? Really like the progress!

[@KuopassaTv]

Now the only fix for those eucalyptus pieces is metal bands like when building a wine barrel.

[@frankmeleshko]

good job

[@Rubbernecker]

Very nice!!!

[@CeeTee64]

Great vid!!!

[@nelsonabreu7754]

Penso que as frestas nestas madeiras deveriam ser preenchidas com algum tipo de resina para prevenir que se transformem em abrigos de insetos predadores, tais como cupins, e com o tempo, venham a inutiluzá-las.

[@VictorRochaGaming]

Great ending. Totally unexpected.

[@andysgarage233]

Tolle Arbeit macht ihr da

C'est cool!!!! Bravo!!!!!! 🎉🎉

[@ricardoabsalao7434]

Um trabalho muito inspirador

[@MHetherington59]

I kept watching to see if you were going to remove the scaffolding before setting beams.

[@LuisSantos-bu4cg]

Brutal. O caminho é dificil, mas a chegada vai ser incrível. 😢

[@Melicoy]

Thanks

[@TheBob5ter]

Mistake with the scaffolding, plus...the RSJ's have been put in incorrectly!

[@CrazyMagicHomelesGuy]

Should've applied an anti termite solution to the beams. It repells thrm so the beams stay intact

[@pery247]

No insect goes near eucalyptus... One of the best properties of that wood

[@jakobeilrich8205]

​@@pery247that's not true. They love eucalyptus.

[@Iamspartacus1]

That’s a Russel Coight mistake with the scaff! 😂

[@invest48]

Where did you buy the aluminium connectors ? Clever model. Perplexity with this fissured softwood, attractive to insects (chesnut is tannic repellent either hard oak). Hopefully with well positionned intermediate wooden pieces to build the floor. Chesnut is already a problem in comparison with oak. Oak is overexploited and so expensive. I would have tried to glue this eucalyptus with strong clamp to make kind of plywood, but it takes time and material.

[@vale.do.salgueiro]

You can search for sherpa connectors. Depending where you are, you will find them in specialized online shops. Yes we will put some intermediate pieces to build the floor, otherwhise the spacing is too big between the beams.

[@whitby910]

Amazing stuff, little confused. Sprinkler system above windows and exposed beams?

[@ATold]

^Compliments

[@marcoarnoldi9292]

Io non avrei mai usato quelle travi crepate per fare un lavoro così importante

fantastico !

[@yummboy2]

It is very often difficult to be expert at everything.

[@si_vis_amari_ama]

wrench = winch

[@eugemoses3883]

Isn't the beam laying on top of the wall supposed to be sitting up right so the eye is up instead of on its side? Wouldn't that be weaker the way you have it

[@silviagaleano3594]

🤩

[@Argrouk]

I'm confused. The horizontal I beam looks to be oriented incorrectly, so it is not operating structurally for vertical load, more for preventing the wall from bowing? The new wooden beams are mounted in the centre of the windows, rather than transferring load directly to the ground. You are concerned about wildfires, yet you use aluminium connectors which has a much lower melting point than steel, and therefore will lose integrity at lower fire temps. The smaller beam is unsupported, transferring load to the centre of the longer beam, which you notched. You then connect more beams to this floating beam? I give it a thousand years before it starts to crumble.

[@Stan22ish]

heard what you said abt the wood , but not going to lie .....mmmm

[@nunoaquiles81]

Not sure eucalyptus was the right choice of wood. With time it tends to bend and crack.

[@willc854]

Why aluminum instead of steel connectors? Are the relative strengths not an issue? Not a carpenter, a laser nurse who’s curious…

[@vale.do.salgueiro]

Good question, to be honest I dont know either. We used these because they are invisible later in the wood and are quite strong. Ours hold 35kN and there are larger sizes that are much more resistant.

[@hughshovlin]

Hello. I have been enjoying your videos since the 1st one. However I feel the constant text on screen takes away from the overall enjoyment of just watching your work and is quite jarring. Could you have the text in the CC so it can be toggled on/off? Also I refer you to KZbinr "Simonfordman" videos for some inspiration on how you can improve your videos with minor changes. Kind regards and keep up the good work.

[@ianbamsey3849]

the orientation of the steel beams looks odd. What's the purpose?

[@vale.do.salgueiro]

You will see in one of our next videos that we are going to make a large arch-shaped window opening above the beams and the steel was necessary so the wall does not open over time with the weight of the roof.

[@ianbamsey3849]

@@vale.do.salgueiro so the horizontal steel will be in tension?

[@insAneTunA]

👍

[@xw6968]

what is the reason they are so big and not half the size?
