Lovely product mate one problem clients don’t want to pay £17 a length for 4x2 stubs because they struggle to understand the benefits of using better products unless it’s a kitchen or some fancy bi fold doors there’s no way any of my clients would pay for it Great work great channel keep it going robin top man 👍🏻

We fix our gib board horizontally nowadays, but we avoid having nogs behind the join to prevent cracking. We rely on tape and plaster for strength in the joins.

I used to build timber frame houses and we generally worked to your standards. Now, the bulk of timber frame is just cheap cheap cheap. Knock it up as fast as possible and worry about the problems after. How do you find the clients willing to pay for the extra attention to detail?

Those 4x2s work just fine in dry conditions. Put them outside in the rain and most of the gluejoints fail. Excellent for interior work, not for outside

If you watch enough of Robins videos, there’s plenty of hints along the way of how he developed previous properties he’s owned / flipped and of course there’s been the combination of property price growth and he does all the work himself so saves a fortune and fair play to him!

@kevocos2 жыл бұрын
As usual nice neat work you are doing there. Would an option have been to first lay the floor insulate, run your ufh pipework and screed before doing the studwork? I think if possible that is a better sequence. Allows continuous insulation layer, easier to achieve perfect screed and less faffing with the stud sole plates. None of the studwork is loadbearing, or doesn't appear to be transferred to footings at least, so having them laid on the screed ~= to laying them on the slab? Regardless, I'm nit picking it's a great job you've done and those Tru-stud looks like a great product.

We’re so far behind in the UK in comparison to our counterparts in Australia, Canada and the US in the availability of decent engineered timber products. Just a shame we don’t seem to get LVLs, LSLs or even TGI joists readily available at timber merchants, it would help avoid the massive amounts of steel we seem to be putting in roofs these days.
