If I’m doing a lot of stud work I always make myself a spacer as well as mark out my centres, just helps when working alone to put your spacer next to the upright and knock the next one up to it you know then that they’re all bang on the same spacing.
@@spendtimesavemoneydiy I can imagine buddy. That’s why for my house renovation I’m filming it all from start to finish then uploading in regular bouts 🤣
Quality videos mate. It'd be great to see a video on removing stud walls at some point. Haven't seen any videos on how to safely carry that out with electrics + tracing back cabling etc.
Great video, Im building a stud wall upstairs using 4x2. What length screws would you recommend to fix the base plate the the floor boards so I dont hit any services?
Try to screw into the floor joists and not the floor boards. It will be a lot stronger and I'd use 100mm but watch for pipes and wires. If the joists are running the same way as the new wall it is recommended to put in noggins in the floor to fix to
great video very well explained. What fixings would you recommend to use when fixing sole plate 4x2 to the concrete floor please. I will be starting on garage conversion soon. any advice would be appreciated. thanks.
Great video and channel. Nice to see you get the kids involved too. On the right hand side of the noggins, do you just do 1 centre screw as opposed to 2 screws on the left?
Excellent video as per usual. I always learn so much from all your videos and it’s a joy when you publish a a new one. I’m in the process of buying a new home, but god knows when I’ll get to move in. I’m considering getting an extension built on top of the exiting garage assuming the foundations can carry the load. I can see from your extension you got professional help to do the foundations, blocks and brick laying but completed the insulation and plasterboarding yourself. This is something along with plastering I could do myself. How much as a percentage does the foundations and block laying cost as I would like to know before getting quotes how much I could save by doing some jobs myself.
The professional help was from friends of mine so it was mates rates. But labour for a builder or bricklayer isn't cheap. Every part could be tackled by a competent diyer as long as it all meets building regs. A good draftsman will put specifications on the drawings. I didn't have the time or all the knowledge to do it all myself but I made sure I learned everything along the way. Now I have the knowledge to do most of it.
Thanks for the tips, I'm getting into using screws where I can, very handy. Looks like you've got a real monkey problem developing in that back room! And I think they're multiplying! :-) Cheers PP
Excellent. Clear and concise. Well done.

Would never have thought of the screw trick thanks Rob
Little tricks of the trade go a long way
Great video buddy. Glad to see you back with regular uploads!
Thanks, I'm trying my best to do a video a week but it's tough going.

Thanks, the screws aren't cheap but they are brilliant 👍🏼
Some great tips there, thanks👍

Thanks. Don't know if I'll be doing a video ripping out a wall. All I can say is safe isolation of electrics. 👍🏼
Great climbing frame! 😂
Great fun for all the family 😆
Thanks that was well explained
You're welcome!

Cheers for the quick reply, yeah luckily the joist go in the opposite direction so I'll do that! @@spendtimesavemoneydiy

Nice one. I was a slave to staggered noggins previously. Great vid though mate
Thanks. I know a lot of joiners who stagger noggins but the old fella who taught me insisted on straight noggins. It makes for a better job I think 👍🏼

😆 I need to stop having kids.
I tend to use screws a lot more than nails. Usually a better job 👍🏼
