Probably the best Ryan’s ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxGZedDTcDfgD7fG_uU4esfx_EgxzlY2_1 Plans on building a shed is hardly ever found. And Ryan takes the mystery out of different types of foundation options, etc. He even shows how to build a shed with different designs. Very comprehensive, covering different roofing materials, siding, etc.
I love that bit for UA-cams auto generated subtitles alone. There is an amazing number of different variations on what it thought he says. My personal fave is "slot down here" 😂
I prefer that it's once a week. I like that I can watch it on Saturday mornings with breakfast and I think it's keeps the videos more interesting. Too many channels want to show EVERYTHING they do, and they soon get pretty stale & boring.
Shout out to Jess, you really appear to be in the 'hump' zone of your renovation where everything looks like chaos with no end in sight. It can be quite mentality taxing living in a renovator, especially for partners - Really looking forward to the progress to come
I love the Terra Lana product. We used it in our 1920s bungalow. Wool will absorb any moisture in the envelope, making it easier to dry. Also, we noticed it’s fantastic at sound insulation
The wood fiber insolation stuff is also very good if you have this in New Zealand. I tried it out recently and it has very good " clamping power " if that is a word and stays stable for a long time and it cant burn, in case of a fire it will instantly form a layer of coal on the outside that blocks of the heat from the fire. But This wool polyester mix insolates probably better so the layer does not have to be that thick.
The saying in Norway is "There is not bad weather, only bad clothes" (it's a bit more catchy in Norwegian, as it rhymes!). Which is why the easiest way to spot a Norwegian abroad is looking for the one invariably wearing an all weather jacket
Still getting my head around everything being opposite to us in England just warming up here for a very late spring/ summer 😎🌤️. Bungalow coming along nicely 🤩🧱👍🏼
You know you're a tradesman, when a live power box gets you excited..., Did a complete home reno re-wire 4 years ago from knob and tube. Hot stuff! Yea, a pun.
Have used Tera Lana since we started our reno's in about 2010 - great product! Wish I had known about the saw thought - its tricky to cut with scissors...
"Power board", eh? It's always interesting hearing the different slang or technical terms for different industry terms. I also am super interested about what the percentage of pro carpenters to just regular people. I mean if i wasnt a carpenter at all, I might watch strictly for Scotty's personality and banter. I don't know though if i would from the beginning. It's definitely entertaining being a pro carpenter that is in his same position, the one he was in before the move and the house purchase (project manager that still puts a tool belt on and works 50% of the day). I also love that he is just like me and wishes they could do labor 100% of the time and tell all the manager and business time to FRIG OFF! Love that type of person. I am waiting for Scott to finish the house and go back to working full time. Its much more interesting when i get to see more different styles of houses and types of work. I live and work on the east coast of the states. We're literally on opposite sides of the planet geographically and how we build. All that said, i would still watch you even if you just farted into the camera and labeled it CONTENT. Thanks for everything big dawg!
I do work for a bespoke shed builder in London, they use the sheep wool insulation. It works great but as a sparky I hate it when I have to drill through walls it binds to your drill bit I’ve literally spent an hour trying to put a 25mm hole through an external stud wall! Also if I ever have to modify anything after they’ve insulated I find it irritates my eyes and throat worse than any other type of insulation! But hey what’s my whining mean it works well and I believe it’s quite eco friendly so I’m all for it (almost)!
Do you micromanage Ray like this??? I laughed out loud. You guys are wonderful. Cheers from Canada where I have only just mowed my lawn for the first time this season. ~ulrich
there’s a special tool to take boards off you cut about 100mm at walls tool leavers up about 3 boards. also a demolition contractor said they flood floor so it sweels nails never reid that but have with tool that hired
Scott, thanks for explaining some details here and there as you move forward. Why things are done and what the product is all about and the planning, keeping that organized positive out look. Cool about the specialty saw for cutting insulation. We really enjoy Ray and his sense of humour as well....."Not Baaaaaaad!" and "You are way too eager to give me this cup of coffee." Good one Ray! Hang in there Jess.....patience to get this massive reno done...such detail and a lot of thought to make sure things are "built right." 💝🇨🇦👷♀🔨🪚
Maybe you can try to use some RockWool. Hard to Source and expensive in NZ. But overall, its the best insulation you can find. I'm using some of the Rockwool for my current construction.
Have not watched for a while, did not hear what happened with Paerau but was only thinking about him today whilst doing a paint job, he's a top bloke and I hope he's okay? great channel and great content as always...
Jess's comment about putting a wooly jumper on the house could be a thing! ANZAC soldiers used to wear wollen jumpers *under* their dress uniforms to keep warm & be protected from the rain, given they weren't allowed to wear jumpers over their uniforms & didn't have jacket's. The wool would absorb the water & would increase the insulating warmth - at least, that's what my dress Sargent told me in the airforce cadets when I was younger.
As a Dutch person with some experience in imperial measurement systems, yes, I'm happy I rarely have to deal with that. In a few situations inches are easier, but those are far outnumbered by the situations where it isn't...
I have seen some other guys using those saws for cutting spray foam over runs and polystyrene insulation. Think it was on the Perkins Brothers channel. Always thought if I ever need to do insulation, I would def get one - or remember just as I finished that there is a saw that I should have used 😀
You can tear poly with your hands if you, turn on the side, hold each side where you want to tear and hold your arms up shoulder level (chicken arms) and pull it will tear easily
In Germany we say „es gibt kein schlechtes wetter, nur die falsche kleidung“ which roughly translates to „there’s no bad weather, just bad clothing“. As always amazing video!
In Scotland there is no bad weather, just the wrong clothes. I was fascinated when Jess and Scott mentioned the other week that they listened to Neil Oliver’s podcast (Stirling). Neil is a very good broadcaster give him a try. I look forward to Saturday morning when I catch up on Jess and Scott’s progress on their home. All the best from Fife and keep up the good work
Any aussies here reckon its worth insulating their floor? My place gets quite cold downstairs but upstairs is fine. Thinking about mimmicking scotts approach with the black plastic too to stop moisture rising up but we dont have the more tropical environement here in sydney
In the Netherlands there’s a cycle race at the coast where they deliberately wait for a super windy day to hold it so that you have to ride into like 60mph winds! And people do it for fun!!!
We had “Green Sheep” (brand) wool insulation installed in the roof cavity in our house, which is the same age as yours. Best move we ever made. Get it blown in to whatever thickness you want, our house is as warm as toast in the Waikato now.
I was an Insulation. Contractor for more than 32 years an have to say that saw is just a waist of Good money. All my workers need was a sharp fillet knife and a straight edge to depress the insulation at the desired line. The saw is for tool geeks. When you are ready to cut it will never be never be in reach or someone will be trying hard to cut wood with it! I always likes “rock wool” as an alternative to what we call “glass” insulation. F’glas is very common in my park of the world and you would have a difficult time trying to cut a 6” thick batt with that saw. Definitely would work with the semi-ridged wool you have.
Stott my old mate love your work.. We are in a race if you didn't know ? My wife watches your videos she uses your progress to check how much I have completed on our place 😂 now I have untill the end of the yard to finsh the renovation 😅😅
That way to cut off the power feels so complicated. Here in Sweden the power line connects to a metal cabinett at the property line where they have the power meter and main fuses for each building on the property with one fuse for each phase. Then there is a cable going into the house where it connects to a distribution board. So you can basically cut all power to the property by unscrewing the three phases of the mains going into the meter or that's how we used to do it 3 weeks ago. Then they switched the meters and now we just have to hold a button for 6 seconds to break it. ALso good on not going fiberglas. That stuff is terrible. We mostly use rockwool here now. Much better then fiberglas and have just as good insulation value.
Here in New Zealand older houses with overhead power lines usually have pole fuses, or a fuse on the barge board beside where the lines are attached to the house. Not sure what they do on newer houses or houses that have been converted to underground power.
The wool insulation is very good but watches out for flies and maggots or caterpillar larval - they eat the wool etc esp when they land on the sheep as the wool is being cut off etc - if the wool has not been treated - A home that was shown on modern design had this happen and the insurance did not pay up so it cost the householder 20-40k to have it all fixed
Another great upload, thank you. Just thinking, you said the wool blend was about R2. Is that the same R values we use in the States? Maybe? I dunno 🤷♂️
If you're here in NZ google ThermaKraft - it would be a product like Covertek 403 wall and roof underlay which is also BRANZ appraised for the industry.
1:20 🤣At first glance I thought Jess had picked up painting and was very bad at it, but then I realized its just the weather forecast 😂🙊 In hindsight, if anything, Jess would be an awesome painter I'm sure, just to clear that up ;)
Thanks for sharing how you're putting the insulation in. How much bigger do you cut this type of insulation than the hold/gap you're putting it into? Can I use this type of insulation for my under floor joists?
I love this channel. It has 95% convinced me I do not have the energy, enthusiasm or positive attitude to tackle my own house renovations

Man, that subtle Sheep pun by Ray takes the crown of all puns 😂🫶
“Scott Brown here” appreciation society are getting withdrawal symptoms.
Had the exact same thought. Best intro on UA-cam. Come on Scott!
I know right! My and the mrs have to settle for saying it to each other instead lol
I love that bit for UA-cams auto generated subtitles alone. There is an amazing number of different variations on what it thought he says. My personal fave is "slot down here" 😂
He’s got brown hair
The European sidekick builder has a fair point when i think about it. No such thing as bad weather just bad preparation.
Scott is at his happiest when he's chopping timber. Just look at his tail wagging at 4:17!
😂😂
Also when talking about decks

God, how I wish he would post more than once a week... Honestly I fully relax watching these videos

It's amazing that when you hired Ray as a comedian he also happened to be a decent tradie. Not bahd, not bahd at all.
"There's no bad weather, there's just bad preparation" if I remember correctly was one of the basic tenants in the Finnish army.
Ray for the win!
Keep up the good work guys, ray seems to be keeping Scott on the right path

So entertaining to watch someone else's home reno. Being in the northern hemisphere and seeing your weather confuses my brain. Keep up the great work!
The Dutch or Northern European saying is "there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing!" Greetings from sunny Holland!

Same as in sweden
Gym teacher classic.
Same in cycling... now. Back in 1970s and earlier, before modern clothes (especially socks, shoes, and gloves), it was bad weather
Haglöfs once had an add saying; Always buy better clothes than you need 💪
Maybe that’s why so many Melbournians wear Canada Goose jackets 🤪🔫
In Germany we say it too
Very glad to hear Paerau is doing alright. Hope you manage to visit at some point, even if it's off-camera!

I put wool insulation in a garage in 1990. Had to do some repairs a couple years ago, and it looked like new.

Woolen long underwear is very common in the nordic countries. It stays warm even if wet.
2:20 As an American...quite jealous seeing plans in metric. Unfortunately USA society is too deeply invested in the impirical system to ever switch.

Why are you not using R2.7 Earthwool in the walls and use R6.3 in ceiling. Makes a huge difference.

In the Netherlands they would call it: Honde weer!
Or! "Het regent pijpestelen".
Weird to see the power meter in the same box. In my country they put the meter on the pole, that's how much they trust us.

Fantastic work! Love this channel!
Interesting how those bumble bees like marigolds. Noticed that in Wellie as well. They are so cool. Sorry no building context here :).
How come you didn’t board out the wall before installing the power board?
An electric kitchen knife works well with some rigid insulation boards.
And foam as used in upholstery. Been using one for years.
Not for human bones for emergency amputations or "reasons". Just an FYI.

Scott/Jess are you going to get any solar panels to put on the roofs you have?
Circular saw has worked well with every more natural insulation.
Thanks for sharing how you're putting the insulation in. How much bigger do you cut this type of insulation than the hold/gap you're putting it into? Can I use this type of insulation for my under floor joists?
10mm, and best to check with manufacturer for underfloor specs. It has to do with ground clearance etc.
so how do wool insulation compare to something like Rockwool .
