She’s a star isn’t she 😻

Thanks for watching. I’m sure you’ll find the right solution for your project.

The geotextile has a 50 year lifespan. Not sure what you mean by distance holders? Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching!

Yeh, I would agree with that if it were possible. Unfortunately, our soil is full of flint, pebbles and clay, so I could only dig so far. It was a short wall and the fact the surrounding 'soil' around the posts was rock solid I decided they would be ok. Thanks for watching.

Sorry, family life got in the way. I have all the recordings, just struggling to find any time to edit. Sorry

@@OurHomeProjects don’t apologise, the videos are amazing. Im starting something similar myself. Your videos are so good and informative

Ours were galfan coated to prevent early corrosion. They were advertised as suitable for waterways. Hope you manage to find something and good luck with your project.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.

Yes, the gabions need to be placed on firm solid ground. As the digger removed soil from the bank for us, he compacted the earth for us going back and forth across the site. The geotextile underneath also helps stabilise things.

Thanks for watching. I’m not a builder myself but pieced this all together from some other videos I watched at the time. This process seemed to make sense to be scientifically! Good luck with your project 🙂

Thanks so much for leaving such a lovely comment 🙂

Thanks for watching. Good luck with your project!

Thanks for watching. Have you seen my second video? Has a lot more info and may help. ua-cam.com/video/zIwbbXTy25A/v-deo.htmlsi=XNIoqSDzhX6GwzFp

Lol, it did feel like that 😂 Now would be the perfect time to do yours before the soil dries up. I started in June iirc and it had been dry a good few weeks, so have a go soon whilst it’s still easy 😂💪

Thanks watching and leaving a comment!

Aww thank you! Good luck with your project!

It’s the dry screed that spreads the heat under the wood flooring. If you don’t add that then it will only be warm where the pipe is. HTH. Thanks for watching.

​@@OurHomeProjects Hi Karen, thank you for your kind answer.

I am not familiar with the PUG system but it looks very similar. We used a thin layer of a very dry mix. Good luck with your project!

Sorry Mark, I ended up getting a full time job and not much time to do video editing. I would like to finish the series at some point. Thanks for the comments and for watching 🙂

@@OurHomeProjects no worries, i'm just glad to hear that you're well. congratulations on your new job and all my best

It was a hard project but well worth the effort. So satisfying building something from scratch.

Sounds great! A suggestion would be to make sure whatever wire you use for the baskets doesn’t have a short lifespan and won’t corrode in a few years 👍

Thanks for watching and good luck with your project!

Thanks for watching!

What a great idea! I’ll do that. It’s almost 8 years now.. still looks good.

It was a hard decision, but they had not been looked after by the previous owner and blocked too much light and were making the bank unstable (hence the new retaining wall). Unfortunately you cannot prune fully grown evergreen trees as they just leave bald brown areas and do not refill. They were replaced with beech hedging which is growing well (many more than the 3 evergreen trees). Thank you for your concern.

Hi, unfortunately I don’t know the thickness of the chipboard. An anti-movement mesh was laid on top before the tiles. The tiles haven’t cracked, but the grout has in places.

@@OurHomeProjects what's the depth of your floor joists. Mine are 100mm and told not to use screed as joists are not that strong. Use spreader plates on top of insulation.

I believe ours are 200mm as they span quite a distance. The house was built in the 1930’s.

​@@OurHomeProjectsdid you use Pex pipe or Pert. And is it 12mm or 16mm? Do you feel you should have a radiator installed aswell as pipes only heat up the floor and not the room.

I can’t answer your first questions, but we do find the UFH provides an even comfortable heating of the room. The downside is it takes a few hours to get up to temperature as UFH uses a lower temp water than radiators. We enjoy having clear wall space free from radiators, but that is personal preference.

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.

Thanks so much for the amazing comment! Good luck with your project.

Yes, this was postcrete so fast drying. I did the cementing near the end of the day and secured the boards the following day 👍

Unfortunately I can’t remember the depth of the chipboard, but it lets enough heat through and the tiles are actually warmer than the engineered wood floor.

Thanks for watching!

Hi, once the wood floor went down we haven’t seen the screed since! I’m sure it probably has cracked in places, but we still get a constant even heat under foot, so appears to still be doing a good job. 👍

@@OurHomeProjects Right that's positive then! No cold spots at all? I might give it a go! How much support did you put under the joists in terms of how much timber to support the screed? In terms of the battens, how many did you need and far spaced were they?

@@OurHomeProjectsHi, can I ask, I'm very close to going for a joist, screed floor! But what type of timber did you use to hold the insulation boards up with and screed? I've bought a load of roofing lats.

Hi, our cages are galfan coated and show no signs of rust 8 years on 👍 Always best to do some research before ordering and buy good quality gabions.

@@OurHomeProjects Good to know, to you

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for watching!

Part 8 filmed, just finding it hard to find the time to edit it all. Sorry about that.

@@OurHomeProjects no worries..thanks for replying and have a nice day

Agree you have to buy from a reputable seller to get the longest lifespan

Thanks for watching!

Hi, sorry for the slow reply. If you add another layer of wood in between your finished floor and the underfloor heating pipe, you're blocking even more heat from coming up through the floor. The engineered wood floor was nailed into the joists at various locations. HTH

Hi, sorry for the late reply. It really depends on where you buy your gabions from. Ours are over 8 years old and no sign of corroding. HTH

Thank you for the thoughtful review! Happy New Year!

I bought mine from finemeshmetals in the UK. I give more info in this video - ua-cam.com/video/zIwbbXTy25A/v-deo.htmlsi=hR-aEP841dAuG1zl

So pleased it was useful! (She's really cute isn't she :) )

Sorry for the late reply. UFH runs at a lower temp to radiators and it takes a couple of hours for the room to get up to temperature, but stays at a constant temp for longer due to the insulation etc.

So pleased it was useful!

Hi, thanks for watching. Before plasterbiarding I put up a membrane around all 4 sides rather than taping everywhere. Though taping would do the same job. I really do need to get the next few videos out. I’m sorry about the long gap!

Thanks for watching!
