Channel's worth it for the music... Keep it up!

[@christopherlynch4347]

This a great little series, nice to see the drawings and laminated ;)

[@EdithWeston]

Really nice to see the plans, and great explanations to help all followers. (good tip to laminate them, as they get ruined quickly onsite).

[@peterkwameosei-bonsu6135]

Darren, will a sheet of DPC be useful between the timber stud and the existing wall before you chemfix?

[@RS-ei3yt]

Good to see the plans, pls show on all ur projects if possible so the theory follows the practice. Pls also try n answer as many questions as u can. All helps to increase subscribers.

Interesting to see a timber frame construction for a change. Don't know why it's not used more in this country.

[@charliejeffs2546]

How did you fix your base plate to the foundations without damaging the dpc

[@shanicarter7637]

Excellent progress on the timber frame building those two walls.

[@marcwalters7541]

Great to see you having fun at work guys 😊😊😊

[@danw9295]

Love your videos, really helpful..what size timber did you use?

[@y.lelivelt2619]

I like it to see you as a carpenter.

[@winklewonka4733]

Was just wondering how do you fix the cement board and render the left hand side off exstention as it look like the neighbouring fence made up off concrete panels and posts and looks like it's a tiny gap ... was also wondering the walls look very high as you got to put rafters on top off the frame work does that not take you over the height off the need for local planning inspectors ... just wondering as thinking off doing same sort off build .. cheers great vids

[@goldenineke]

It must be exciting for the home owners when the wall frames start going up.

[@tonymoloney3223]

Hi Darren,good vid I'm thinking of the same construction on the side of our house could you give a ball park cost and what was the track you put to it?

hey Darren, love the work. Please explain why you use nails and not screws? thank you

[@peterkwameosei-bonsu6135]

Nails have the ability to twist and bend with shear/lateral forces without snapping whereas screws will bend a couple of times and then snap! So with timber frame construction, nails are specified. There are construction grade timber fixing screws that can be used but they’re more expensive than nails

[@sugarfury]

@@peterkwameosei-bonsu6135 aww thank you Peter for taking the time out to reply, truly appreciated :)

[@nachsonsantos5904]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge 🙏

[@mustakimbuilds]

is this build cheaper than traditional double block with cavity and render extension?

[@mustakimbuilds]

@@pkpropertysolutionsltd701 Overall, traditional still the cheapest then? Or labour cost considerably outweighs material therefore the alternatives cheaper?

[@sidperry7748]

Nails are stronger than screws, higher shear strength

[@peterleishman431]

What size of nails are you using

[@darrenthebuilder]

125mm

[@peterleishman431]

[@j4ck888]

shame the design shows a cold bridge :( the insulation should be linked between roof and walls.

[@darrenthebuilder]

It is linked? Where’s the bridge? The wall insulation go right up into the roof void.

[@j4ck888]

@@darrenthebuilder 3:16 - shows external wall build up, 20mm internal wall air gap links directly to the cross flow ventilation void (external air temp). The aim is for a continuous thermal envelope, the walls as designed will do little to retain heat. Tricky to build as it is, but I'm sure you can get over this on site - ask the Building Control surveyor or throw back to the designer.

Hope there 10mm

[@MegaProstreet1]

Nice work fella but i still think you need a nailgun much quicker

[@jonesconrad1]

100% , paslode or battery nice for portability, but if you don't mind the hose carrying a compressor air for ultimate reliability.

[@EdithWeston]

@@jonesconrad1 Nice first name fella.

[@peterkwameosei-bonsu6135]

Paslodes sell relatively cheaply second hand and they’re reasonably reliable. Milwaukee/Hikoki gasless are the bees knees

[@goldenineke]

Guess it all comes down to cost over use. Darren seems to build more block and brick buildings than timber framed ones.
