Amazing tradesmen. Great channel. Great guys

[@alanreeves459]

Coming along nicely 😁 Another great video 👍

NIce one Rich, and you Matt for putting up with Richards onsite errors !! Joking aside, you make this look like straightforward work but it's so so easy to make an expensive cock up if you don't know what you're doing. Good job gents.

[@michaelbolt4530]

Nice one, I do envy your carpentry/joinery skills, whenever I’m trying to do even basic joinery wood always ends up 5mm bigger or smaller than what I want

[@DICEGEORGE]

at 11:00 i'm planning to put alutrix up the sides as i think naughty water vapour could sneak in through the cut edges of the PIR

[@poddy1957]

compelling Sunday night KZbin viewing....👍

[@keithstarr8213]

Frozen me and my granddaughter love it.

[@warnerpaul]

I look forward to your posts like top gear on a Sunday!

[@donoconnor4204]

Lots of preparation to cover this roof but it certainly looks solid and weather proof. I agree with the other comments about sitting down to watch Top Gear. My heart sank when I didn’t see the video at the usual 16.40hrs. Thank god it came through later!!

[@Mr_A_Builders]

We try our best to set it at 1630hrs every week but if the football is on the video takes a knock and we don’t get the initial uptake on the video that KZbin looks for to keep suggesting it. If you put the notifications on your subscription I put a post out either Saturday or Sunday morning to tell you what time it’s on. I’m glad you look forward to our videos 👍🏻

[@robertmorris5214]

Great work guy's

[@KeithAubrey-v6p]

Great video guys as usual, beats everything on the box on a Sunday night. Can i suggest that if you had made the skylight upstand sides with tapered, you wouldn't need the firring strips! Maybe I'm missing something ?

[@Mr_A_Builders]

It takes longer to do it that way Keith I’ve been there tried that. You can’t pattern cut anything and it didn’t take long to do it this way. 👍🏻

[@JimGreen-ts1ul]

Thanks!

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Thanks very much Jim. It’ll soon be time to start getting a total together and buying the presents for the kids. 🎅👍🏻

[@JimGreen-ts1ul]

@@Mr_A_Builders Been great watching your channel this year, really enjoyed it. Keep the projects coming. Look forward to seeing what the totals at!!

[@couldabin]

For some reason, I have carried with me a memory from my school woodworking days that said that screwing into end grain was not a good idea. Did I mis-remember Boris it true? I ask because I see joiners doing this frequently!

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Depends on what your are screwing into and also with screw technology nowadays there’s a lot less chance to split the timber otherwise I’d have to pilot hole them all. You also have to take into account what your doing it for and how deep you go into the end for structure 👍🏻

[@jimcatford]

Great video as always. Rich what is the make of tool belt you use

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Don’t know if you are familiar with them but it’s designed and made by KZbinrs called Perkins Builder Brothers. One of my favourite channels to watch 👍🏻

[@jimcatford]

Yes, I have heard of them. Thank you for letting me know.

[@raymondmcguire1250]

Great vid as usual. I think your 3 degree fall calculation over 2m is wrong! Tan of 3 is 0.524. Multiply by 2000 gives a value of 105mm. Your 70mm gives a fall of only 2 degrees.😮

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Oh well what’s a degree between friends. They did say 2-3 degrees so I’m covered. 👍🏻

[@simoncarney9944]

Nice one Rich and Matt! Really good progress in this video! Great tip with cutting the diminishing battens, I might have to use that soon. More progress next week. By the way, we’ve not heard from Adam lately, I hope he’s ok?

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Thanks Simon loads more to come yet. He’ll be on Wednesday with more progress from the Bungalow build. 👍🏻

[@hammy228]

Could you have just put the new insulation and roof above the concrete and bitumen one ?

[@Mr_A_Builders]

I considered that but that would leave a cold zone in between the insulation and the warm room therefore making it a cold/hybrid roof which wouldn’t work right because it’s not ventilated . 👍🏻

[@michaelevans2975]

Ah, very good, I was wondering how you cut the furring👍

[@Mr_A_Builders]

If you go back on the channel a couple of years there’s a video all about cutting furring strips. 👍🏻

[@amazing451]

At 10 minutes on the video did I understand you right in that you are going to now form a rebate 28mm deep and 25mm wide for your glass to sit in to ? If this is the case would it not have been easier to form the rebate when you were machining the timber as you'll have to remove all the screws in the top timber now. Are we going to see the sky light being fitted as I think I am misinterpreting that drawing ? When you guys screwed the top sheet of OSB down with the thermal fixings you always try to avoid penetrating the bottom layer of OSB is that to avoid some form of thermal bridging ?

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Lots of questions there I formed a rebate with a piece of timber glued and screwed onto the top of the completed structure. Yes it’s best practice to not got through the bottom of the base 18mm OSB to stop thermal bridging Yes you will see it installed I did it today so it’ll be a few weeks yet 👍🏻

[@amazing451]

@@Mr_A_Builders Looking forward to watching it. Thanks for the reply 👍👍

[@mauserkk98]

Hope the roofing made it down before the weather turned ?.

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Yep all good and just in time 👍🏻

Dust extraction required please

[@jonathansmith31]

Bit of an odd question but what was the piece of music around the 9 minute mark? Was classical style, thanks in advance. Great video.

[@DICEGEORGE]

I plan to do mine on top of the deck so it's already sloping

[@Mr_A_Builders]

You’ll need to check the angle required of the roof deck compared to the angle required for the roof window. There’s as minimum for a roof slope but a maximum for a roof window hence doing it this way. Plus it’ll be a pain in the arse having to cut over the angled deck at the back of the roof light 👍🏻

[@theonlysbf]

what table saw do you use

[@Mr_A_Builders]

This one is an m18 Milwaukee

[@DICEGEORGE]

What could go wrong if instead of expensive rooflights I glue a piece of triple glazed glass on top and glue EPDM round the edges ?

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Who knows 🤷👍🏻

[@DICEGEORGE]

i'm thinking of the edges - hopefully somebody will gave tried it or know a reason why not to ... wouldnt be able to open them but can ventilate elsewhere

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Joking aside it’s not something I’d try because it’s not been designed for that. The make up of the glass might be different because it lays flat but again who knows. There wouldn’t be any drip designed into it either

[@Giant.Iain171]

A mate tried this on his extension, because, like you said, it seems reasonable right? 3 years of trying to locate a pin hole leak and trying all kinds of additional sealing later, he’s admitted defeat and is going to have to remove and redo it.

[@DICEGEORGE]

oops

[@steadfastandyx4947]

Christ mate please keep your hand (the one not on the push stick) away from that saw blade - please.

[@Llamberg.Railway]

God it made my arse twitch seeing how close your hands get to that blade and standing behind the work. I would never free hand cut with a table saw.

[@paulf2529]

There is nothing wrong with freehand cutting, but to do it safely, you should use a push stick. Easy enough to make one from a bit of batten.

[@Llamberg.Railway]

@@paulf2529 the risk of kick back is greatly increased, even using a push stick because it’s far to easy to push across the cutting line.

[@ryan2387]

Get rid of them soil stacks and whack a valve on it….they look horrible coming through roofs and can be shitty to stop water ingress

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Unfortunately it goes up to and into the loft conversion and also is the stack for the bathroom which is the other side of the wall so it can’t be valved or removed. 👍🏻
