NEW CEILING WITH OLD TIMBERS. - Exposed BEAMS or not?

It's time to start putting stuff back after all that demolition, today I use old joists to frame out a new ceiling and there is a big design change to make!

[@shaun30-3-mg9zs]

It's looking good,you are doing a brilliant job. I do love out buildings ,and that is going to be amazing when it's finished ,keep up the good work👍

[@sheenawillshee3992]

It’s made such a difference, very nice 😊

[@sreval]

Coming along nicely.....keep up the great work 👍👍

[@mandyleeson1]

Looking good Tim 👍🏼

[@54mgtf22]

Hi Tim. Love your work 👍

[@troyboy4345]

That is turning out really nice, very pleasing to the eye, the ceiling not you .... 🤣🤣🤣

[@andyc972]

Looking good, right decision to go over rather than under IMO, what a shame about the wall plates, another job another day but annoying to not have it done before embarking on this project I guess - time and funds = compromise !

[@dougf94912]

@ 6:50 LOL! 😊

[@pumpkinhead456]

Looks lovely! Ice cream earned. Might have used screws instead of nails if you're taking the wood down too!

[@DebsHill1]

you need one of those panel carriers

[@robertevans6229]

If you fix the the ceiling timbers 200mm higher you can use akros to support roof when yo change wallplate without taking roof off

[@philcrockford5534]

Looking positive. Are you going to put some insect mesh over the airbrick? Ripe for new wasps nests up there otherwise

[@Gazmaz]

Spider webs in the corners ;)

[@turnbull321]

You tried your best to do a simple one day job 😂

[@justwannaridemabike]

Exposed, it gives character and will make ‘product’ pictures look more natural.

wey hey!

A quick question Tim, seeing as you've done some loft insulation on this video. I recently topped up my Rock wool Insulation but had the centre loft boarded with a thin layer of rock wool underneath it. I would like to insulate over the chipboard with rock wool or Kingspan as you have done but I am worried about condensation. your advice, please.

[@christianwithers7335]

Ensure 2" airflow , no problem

[@edfannon1119]

@@christianwithers7335 thanks but 2" airflow above or below the insulation.

I was thinking that this project would make a good playlist during the last video. I'm still thinking that spraying a bleach solution over the areas that you removed the rat droppings would be good to do pre-painting and post painting a couple of times to avoid devaluing your expensive pig related products...if you have anything heavy to go up in the loft space there's a chance that you could get a shelf up which could take a lot more weight than the roof. You could end up losing space because of this. Also with anything food related up there, spraying the end walls with a bleach solution may not be a bad idea even if nothing comes into contact with it. There's also a chance you could drop some 4x2 down from the main beam on the roof to strengthen the loft floor.

Fortunately no really big hygiene demands as this room will only be for packaged frozen produce. A separate room will be created for any food production if/.when we need it. That said, we gave it a through wash down before freezers moved in. 👍

Mr speedy higher should be lending you some taller steps , obviously your young fit and handsome but if you did come a cropper who would run the farm . I’m Only thinking of your good self , and I know everyone who watches this channel think a lot about you and your family . regards as always 😀👍👍👍

[@carlnewton1126]

Always go for an open ceiling with exposed beams, at least you can see what’s going on in the roof and the last thing you want is a new infestation of rats?
