A few things in this book are a barn (of course), detached garage, storage building, and coops.

What I appreciate about you and your channel is that you represent about 99% of what the DIYers and carpenters really have in terms of available tools to do a job. I just get tired of watching these woodworkers with $200,000 worth of high-end equipment in their workshop to manage every little task whereas you Make do with what you have, improvise, solve problems, and do a lot of work by hand. I find that much more inspiring than drooling over machinery that I will never own. And it's funny because I myself had just finished making the exact type of base with the 4 x 4's and the big notch outs pretty much doing the same steps you did.

I agree. I find it endlessly amusing how OTT some KZbinrs are. They're the sames one who title a video "Homemade XYZ", and have 250 grands worth of kit. One of the old boys, at a boatyard I contract at, quite literally uses: an old generic brand NiCad drill, and a 20 year old (green) Bosch circ. saw, electric planer & jigsaw, for everything - and I mean everything. I've actually had to rescue the planer from floating off down the slip! If you haven't heard of it before, I thoroughly recommend "Tips from a shipwright".

Hey Scott, I would highly recommend mechanical ventilation with heat recovery. Insulating is great but you need to ventilate. I live in Ireland which is not a dissimilar weather type to New Zealand (not as warm in the summer (I wish)) and installing MHRV changed our lives, no more vents in the walls blowing wind in and having to open windows to air all the time. You can do the installation yourself and you have a bungalow so you can run all your ducting in the attic! Looking forward to seeing the reno continue. All the best!!

@arvidjohansson31202 жыл бұрын
MHRVs have their time and place. For them to work as intended you need a house that has good airtightness. This house is probably not airtight enough to gain an improvement. To cite Joe Lstiburek, Ph.D. "Attics are even hotter than outside during the summer and as cold as the outside in the winter. Of all of the places to put ductwork in I can’t think of a worse place." He has some solutions if one is persistent on installing ducting in an unconditioned attic. Mainly being extremely careful with the airtightness of any connection. It is hard to get the ceiling vents to seal against the plasterboard. It is a detail that requires a lot of careful planning to get right. Then the ducts need to be covered in thick insulation. Not every roof can support the unintended weight of the insulation needed. It is hard to get the ductwork airtight. In the summer you will lose energy. In the winter you will put hot humid air into the attic that has great potential to lead to mould or moisture problems. If Scott would be able to make the house airtight enough to qualify for an MHRV then It would make a lot more sense to use a wall-mounted MHRV system like LUNOS e². It is a really smart system. For Scott to get the house airtight he needs to spray foam the floorboards from the underside. Then use the internal plasterboard as the air control layer. It's hard to tape and mud everything to the degree needed but has been done on multiple occasions prior with great success. Then when the walls are insulated and airtight, the drying potential for any moisture that makes it past the weatherboard is lower. Meaning there is a greater risk for mould and structural issues. Summary of my thoughts, don't do anything without the involvement of a good building scientist. Most professionals in the building industry don't know enough of the science to be qualified for constructing energy-efficient buildings. Uninsulated, leaky houses don't have a whole lot of things that can go wrong.

Those window pelmets are actually really good at their job - which is to make the curtains function properly as thermal insulators. Without them you get convection currents that cause hot air at the ceiling level to get sucked down beside the glass where it then cools and falls out the bottom of the curtain. Eventually it ends up by your heater, where it goes back up to the ceilling level and the cycle begins again. Houses built in the 50s and 60s in New Zealand have lots of pelmets but they're a forgotten art form these days. If you haven't got a pelmet the problem can be solved by making the curtains go all the way to the floor - although that might not be practical for every window, especially the one above the bath!

I get your thinking the pelmet is ugly but they do serve a purpose. Without one warm air will cycle down past cold glass continuously and gradually chill the room. The pelmet or a suitable replacement will break that cycle. Hotels (designing many rooms they pay to heat) do it well with a short beam running wall to wall with cornice on the rooms ideal and all curtain tracks behind very close to the roof line. Double glazing will make a huge improvement but consider the thermal cycle of air falling down past the glass. You often need to hide curtain tracks anyway. Worth making it a sealed conceal.

Insulation is a double edged sword in old houses. Since this house has such a poor thermal and air tightness you have great drying potential if any water would make it past the siding. The temperature in the cross-section of wall will be lower by adding insulation. You could get problem with moisture not drying properly, if alterations are made. Water problems allways lead to structural problems. But this might be common and well tried practice in the Nelson area and not be source for any concern.

Ah yes, the obnoxious pelmet. I too was much like you when I first started, I was going to rip them all out. I am obviously not as skilled as you, but for a lot of mine we have crown moulding (in Rotovegas) and it meant that taking it off was going to be way too much effort (regibbing would probably have been easier than stripping wallpaper and skim coating though). Having said that, the rooms where I have replastered/painted them they have come up really nicely and bonus is that it gives me somewhere to put led strip lighting. My last piece of advice though (just in case), make sure you finish everything you want to do to the house, just in case the stork drops off a present. Having a newborn in the house has tanked my hopes of ever finishing anything.

Nice work Scott, with a nice bench like that life should be easier, but I hope you made it the right height so it can be used as an outfeed for the table saw ;)

Maybe some many years in the future someone looks at the center rail of that stand and ponders if 2 pieces of wood were chosen for strength or design. The answer from the craftsman/builder: We used what was available at the time. Great build video and the two of you come across as so sincere. Much luck to you both on the progress. Maybe post a link to the saw you used to cut the tenons - looked to be a Japanese pull saw.
