jrs uk... ive been on fitting a kitchen lately... what a nightmare. part old kitchen part new. been head nipped into doing it. never ever ever again haha. week and a bit job. wasted so much time messing on with old stuff. watching some of dels vids makes me propper gutted im not doing that sorta job
Love your Time Lapse dance Del well funny ... and glad you like that chipboard flooring. Hate the stuff to be honest, give me good old fashion floorboards any day. 👍

If only you’d done my floor at my house - New Build. Unsupported floating joints between boards. Builder and warranty company refusing to sort out. Great video and informative. Thanks for your videos you post 🥊
Hi Ryan🖐Doesn't sound good bud, and I only had one joint on this floor that wasn't over a joist, and even that I put a noggin under afterwards👊 I don't find it difficult to set a floor out to work the right centres so that the end of EVERY board is supported🤔Have a nice weekend😎Cheers Del
Time lapse or not. I always enjoy watching a fellow tradesman, or should that be tradesperson, going about their work. Especially when they know what they're doing. Great job mate
Sweet job as usual Del. Back in about 2000 I used to make those Posi joists at the truss plant I worked at. We didn't make a lot they just never seemed to take off here. Haven't seen them on a job now in many years. All I beams. I reckon those things are better than I beams but that is what most of the engineers specify. Love that flooring too. With the built in waterproofing and the size. Our floor sheets are like a sponge. Just chipboard like the old Weyroc. The other problem is the size. 3.6 x 0.9M. They are so heavy and awkward you can barely lift them on your own. I use a genie lift to get them to second storey and then two handed job to lay. By the time I retire we may have something like your sheets here. But I won't hold my breath.
Hi Dave🖐It's cool that you've got/had so much experience with all aspects of the job, and, like me, you've seen so much change in our industry🤔You also have cool experiences of how things are done in other countries, and I appreciate you sharing them with us/me🤗Cheers Del
Evening Del. Another lovely job under your belt. Your very those joists are a nightmare ive never seen them come anywhere near right. That flooring is a handy job and if memory serves is good for 11 or 12 months weather ? I havent fitted either in about 4 years and i dont miss the joists especially 🤣. Over here 🇮🇪 they make us tape each joint too aswell as the edge. I like you nailed the board aswell as the pu glue to be sure. I dont miss that system. Only benefit i seen was the plumbers could run a 4 inch sewer ! And the sparks could run cables ! N E how looking forward to the rest of the series. Geez
Hi Geez🖐Yeah, the flooring is great for weather resistance and makes a lovely platform to work off and continue the construction👊You're right about the plumbers and sparkies, they love 1st fixing through these joists🤗Thanks for your comment and for watching😎Cheers Del
You did your joists quick and floor. I Remember hand nailing 9x2 bridging on joists 🙄💪, I've never done posi joists they look a great job. As you said in the video Del the plummers and sparks would want their first fix in right , good luck with pulling that floor up 🤣🤣. Great work you should be teaching a young chippy with your knowledge 👍
Hi Paul🖐Like you bud, I've also had PLENTY of experience cutting and nailing, traditional, 9x2 joists, and these Posi type joists are a giant leap forward in so many ways👊I only started my channel as a way of trying to pass on a bit of what I know, and I've had a few apprentices contact me to say how much some of my videos have helped them better understand certain tasks👍Thanks for your comment 😎 Cheers Del
Hi MoT🖐I'm really careful around this glue, cause, as you know, you can get in a right mess otherwise😵💫Thanks for your comment and for watching 😎 Cheers Del
Top job as always, I have never used pozi joist before but I like the look of those rather than the i - beam Osb ones and bet the plumber and electrician prefer them as well as they don't need to drill any holes.😂
The posi joists look good. I think some of the floor lifting in the future will be off set by the space and relative ease of space in the floor voids. I do wonder about the noise travelling through the build with those voids?
Good point Doug, and I know, in relation to sound transfer, that a sound block type roll insulation must be used in the floor void, and properly pushed into the webs of each joist🤔Thanks for your comment 😎 Cheers Del
Hi Del. I never have a butt joint running the length of the floor I know it’s D4 glued but I always start in the centre and put the perpendicular boards feather in to the long groove and cut the butt on the 600c. What you think. Plus I never glue the zip clipped dwang as they can squeak with the rise and fall of the floor. Nothing in our trade is right or wrong it’s just the way you have learned. Much respect mate. Dez.
Hi Dez🖐It's always difficult to know which is the best way to join the boards when the joists change diection🤔I could have started on the other side but these joists are pre planned and the boards wouldn't have caught the 600 centres, and I've not had any call backs for squeaking with the noggin clips so I just lash the glue all over😆Thanks for watching and your comment 😎 Cheers Del
Smashing job Del. I just worry about your edge protection. Nothing for you there. Just thinking of you and everyone around You. Great scaffold for the bricks.not for you tho. Keep up the great work. Have a lovely weekend.
Hi Robert🖐I appreciate your comment bud, and, of course, the edge protection is non existent on jobs like this😬 Many smaller builders seem to operate this way, and I should just walk away if the job is unsafe. Trouble is, I prefer working on smaller sites, as the bigger ones, where safety is a very high priority, are absolutely awful to work to work on for loads of other reasons😖I'm pretty steady and concentrate on what I'm doing, but, as you point out, there's always a risk. Have a great weekend too😎Cheers Del
I keep seeing comments online people commenting about these joists having a bounce and creek noises in them compared to solid wood joists.. does anyone have any experience on this?
Hi there🖐Best way to get access to the floor void is to cut through the board, but keep within the joists so you don't have to de-bond it from any joists, and then you can fix battens to the side of the joists, and re-lay the bit you cut out👊Hope this helps😎Cheers Del
Saw a video from the old American framer Larry haun ( couldn't recommend enough) if you haven't seen his videos check them out. And they use a sledgehammer and a scrap of 4x2 for getting TNG sheets together, tried it once. Never going back so easy.
Bizarrely Christopher, you can actually shunt the joists over if you go to hard with a sledgehammer whilst trying to close up the floor boards😬 Gets the job done though👊Cheers Del
Who were the lads working with you? Besides having the odd apprentice on site, it's rare to see more than three chippies (normally an older hand overseeing two young lads just out of their time) on a plot rolling joists or erecting roof trusses. On sitework chippies almost always do their own labouring even on day rate.
Hi Lawrence🖐The guys helping are the two builders and their labourer👍 You'll notice they only helped for the first bit of the joists, then I was on m y own as they started back on the block work. Thanks for your comment and for watching😎Cheers Del
Whatever happened to good old 8x2s and T&G boarding 😂 when I was an apprentice the joiner would say for every hammer mark you leave on a floorboard I’m going to clout you 😂good job I could duck them where the days and not forgetting herringbone strutting don’t see that now it seems metal straps and solid noggins
@@thetallcarpenter we’ve just recently converted an old bank into apartment and when we removed the old ceilings we could see the workmanship that had gone into where the joists had been housed in to the trimmers around the staircase all still as good as the day they’d been fitted I said to the joiners on site imagine having to do that now instead of just nailing a joist hanger on 😂but as you say progress I suppose but in some instances not for the best 👍
@@Hackett1066 Great comment Matt👊And I've seen joisting done as you describe, and it's cool to think about the guys that did them all those years ago🤗No one will uncover a posi joists floor in 75 years time and admire the craftsmanship that went into fitting it😪Cheers Del
@@thetallcarpenter exactly sadly as a site manager now I see a lot of tradesman who know only the basics for example recently had a joiner probably 23/24 couldn’t scribe I had to show him which I don’t mind I was shown it makes me wonder what they learn at college
Another good video as always. So with the floor, i take it its not fixed down on the block wall? Is it just the weight and strapping that holds it until the walls are built up?
Hi Bud🖐Yes, that right, it sits there under its own weight until the ends are built into the block walls. There are metal straps that are built into the ends that run parallel with the joists that tie the wall to the floor👊Thanks for watching 😎 Cheers Del
2 weeks ago I was left alone on a plot with some drawings and a bundle of I joists. The first thing I did was UA-cam "The tall carpenter, I joists". Now I've done 5 plots this video shows up. Can't make it up! Some really good tips here👍🏼
I couldn’t see in the Timelapse but did you use a stringline for the first row of boards?. Or did you just pull the boards together and measure off the blockwork?.
Haha i lash it on too and end up with a load left! I can't believe how well you and your labourers did on the first day not stepping In any of the foamy glue on the joints! The time lapse was great seeing it expand and i was waiting for 'any minute now someone's gonna stand in it🙈' but it never came 👌 When I get my mate in to labour on me when I'm flooring he's terrible,I end up having to go down some of the joints again at the end to make sure they're sealed and I have a load of his size 11 foot prints all over the decking! 🤦♂️😂 Great job Del as usual 👌
@@dannyo1279 You'll notice in the video, that I was the only person doing the glueing, despite my buddies offering many times. They see it as a challenge to try and get me, my clothes and my tools covered in it😵so I told to F off and let me do it😆Thanks for watching and your comment 😎 Cheers Del
Can i ask what kind of floor board these are? I am from Czech Republic and working with posi-joist all the time. For floor we are using common OSB 25mm but always on our builds. Thank you
Hi Sue🖐 You need to cut the floor out away from where it is glued down to the joists and then refit it on battens fixed to the side of the joists👍Finding where the joists are is more tricky as there is not usually many nails to guide you, but stud detector is pretty good at finding them👊Cheers Del
I haven’t finished the video yet. Got to have my dinner. At the joisting stage, not a nail gun in sight. Looking good and will be back after my fish and chips 🍟. Now the guns are out and no cowboys anywhere.
Hi Del - you may already know thIs. But this is a private members bill, that is currently being introduced to Parliament. 3. Greg Smith: Equipment Theft (Prevention) Bill The Conservative MP for Buckingham said: “When equipment is stolen from a farm, a builders van, a construction site, people suffer and their businesses are set back, often by days and sometimes weeks. "My bill will bring in measures that seek to prevent the resale of such stolen equipment, cutting off routes - especially online - for thieves to monetise their ill gotten gains. There is no magic bullet here, but this bill is about upping the stakes when it comes to beating rural crime and wider thefts from businesses.”
Hi Steve🖐I didnt know any of that, and it's definitely a move in the right direction, as tool theft really IS a big issue, and terribly affects its victims. Thanks for putting this up👍Cheers Del
Hi Kevin🖐We actually put an extra row of noggins in where the two floors met so we could get lots of glue and a few nails in. Yes, they were just butted together, but we're well stuck👊Thanks for your comment 😎 Cheers Del
i noticed that you used your nail gun to put the boards down. robin clevett screws his boards. what are the pros and cons when using nails or screws. many thanks.
Hi there🖐The pro's of nails is they are quicker and cheaper, and the only con is there is the potential for them to cause squeaking when the joist shrinks, but this does not happen on this joist system for a few reasons. Firstly, the joists suffer very little shrinkage, secondly, the boards are 100% glued down with an expansive glue eliminating any voids and thirdly, there are very few nails used👍Cheers Del
These posi joists seem to be the in thing...told they are far more stable than solid wooden beams and also lighter to work with...thankfully you had some help there..that would have been hard going doing that yourself
Hi Arthur🖐Yes, they are much lighter to handle and make a very stable floor with little bounce and shrinkage👍Thanks for watching and your comment 😎 Cheers Del
No black hands here bud👊because I am the only one handling the glue, (and I'm very careful), I don't get any on my hands, tools or clothes👊Thanks for watching and your comment😎Cheers Del
Interesting how they recommend not nailing the floor. Less squeaking on the nails I suppose and if it's all glued then no need its all one piece. Too many new builds with dogshit floors that move everywhere. Glueing the top of the joists and joints for sure is the way forward
Hi Elliot🖐These floor systems eliminate squeaking, noisy floors by using a manufactured joist that doesn't shrink, and as you say, a floor deck that is glued all round and glued down👊Thanks for your comment and for watching 😎 Cheers Del
I have this "no nails" crap floor in my house that was built in 2006 and I am so devastated by the noise the floor boards produce while walking on them. Absolute rubbish idea. It has to be screwed down otherwise they will move as the joists start bending.
Hi there🖐I would bet your floor was either not put down properly or not part of the joist 'system' and hence the noise😬This type of system should be, virtually silent if installed correctly👍Cheers Del
@The Tall Carpenter could I possibly ask your email or phone number please? I'd like to ask a couple of more questions. Our house was built in 2006. We wsnt to spend some money and eliminate the floor noise. We want to take the plaster board ceilings off downstairs to gain access to all the i-joists in order to somehow reinforce them. Would you be able to give us some advise. I'm happy to pay for your advisory. Please 🙏 thank you
No Jimmy😬I find them very uncomfortable, and I just use a foam pad when I'm doing lots of kneeling👍 (if I did kneel without it in this video, its very rare😉) Thanks for your comment and for watching😎Cheers Del

@@Hackett1066 It's not great for the future Matt😬
Hi Del, great informative video, it was too fast to see but how many nails do you put in each board?
Hi there🖐I only put the odd nail here or there, and usually no more than 4 per board👍Cheers Del
Another good video as always. So with the floor, i take it its not fixed down on the block wall? Is it just the weight and strapping that holds it until the walls are built up?
Hi Bud🖐Yes, that right, it sits there under its own weight until the ends are built into the block walls. There are metal straps that are built into the ends that run parallel with the joists that tie the wall to the floor👊Thanks for watching 😎 Cheers Del
2 weeks ago I was left alone on a plot with some drawings and a bundle of I joists. The first thing I did was UA-cam "The tall carpenter, I joists". Now I've done 5 plots this video shows up. Can't make it up! Some really good tips here👍🏼
Its all about timing bud🤔and mines rubbish😮At least you've had some good weather for doing your joists🤩Thanks for your comment😎Cheers Del
I couldn’t see in the Timelapse but did you use a stringline for the first row of boards?. Or did you just pull the boards together and measure off the blockwork?.
Hi there🖐I just pulled a chalk line set in about 630mm from the inside face the block work👍Cheers Del
I used Pozi joists on my own extension 7m long, will never use standard timber for joists again 👍
I believe you Alex🤟Solid 9x2 joists are from the stone age now😲Thanks for watching 😎 Cheers Del
Love it Dell your a clever lad you make it look so bloody easy mate but when I come to do it nooooooo😊 🪚
Hi Carl🖐I'm lucky to love what I do, which probably helps😎Thanks for your comment🤗Cheers Del
Great vid mate, you need a go pro on You.👌
Hi Steve🖐I've actually got a GoPro but my lad has lost the case so I cant use it at the moment😢Kids eh😜Thanks for watching😎Cheers Del
How many bottles of PU glue did you go through. Hate that sticky stuff. Love it when its cured.
Hi there🖐Not enough judging by the fact there was some left😬(I absolutely lash it on as well👊) Thanks for watching😎Cheers Del
Haha i lash it on too and end up with a load left! I can't believe how well you and your labourers did on the first day not stepping In any of the foamy glue on the joints! The time lapse was great seeing it expand and i was waiting for 'any minute now someone's gonna stand in it🙈' but it never came 👌
When I get my mate in to labour on me when I'm flooring he's terrible,I end up having to go down some of the joints again at the end to make sure they're sealed and I have a load of his size 11 foot prints all over the decking! 🤦♂️😂 Great job Del as usual 👌
@@dannyo1279 You'll notice in the video, that I was the only person doing the glueing, despite my buddies offering many times. They see it as a challenge to try and get me, my clothes and my tools covered in it😵so I told to F off and let me do it😆Thanks for watching and your comment 😎 Cheers Del
Can i ask what kind of floor board these are? I am from Czech Republic and working with posi-joist all the time. For floor we are using common OSB 25mm but always on our builds. Thank you
Hi there🖐These boards are EGGER PROTECT and are great to fit and last well out in the weather👍Cheers Del
Hi. What type of glue you use on top of posi joist and edge betwene two playwoods? This same glue you use at around 18:50 of video??
Hi there🖐I used all the same PU glue on this floor👍Cheers
How do you go on in the future if you have to access the void in the floor?
Hi Sue🖐 You need to cut the floor out away from where it is glued down to the joists and then refit it on battens fixed to the side of the joists👍Finding where the joists are is more tricky as there is not usually many nails to guide you, but stud detector is pretty good at finding them👊Cheers Del
I haven’t finished the video yet. Got to have my dinner. At the joisting stage, not a nail gun in sight. Looking good and will be back after my fish and chips 🍟. Now the guns are out and no cowboys anywhere.
Great comment Jerry😆and hope you had a nice tea🤩Cheers Del
@@thetallcarpenter ha. It was nice even though I cooked it. 😬
Hi Del - you may already know thIs. But this is a private members bill, that is currently being introduced to Parliament. 3. Greg Smith: Equipment Theft (Prevention) Bill
The Conservative MP for Buckingham said: “When equipment is stolen from a farm, a builders van, a construction site, people suffer and their businesses are set back, often by days and sometimes weeks.
"My bill will bring in measures that seek to prevent the resale of such stolen equipment, cutting off routes - especially online - for thieves to monetise their ill gotten gains. There is no magic bullet here, but this bill is about upping the stakes when it comes to beating rural crime and wider thefts from businesses.”
Hi Steve🖐I didnt know any of that, and it's definitely a move in the right direction, as tool theft really IS a big issue, and terribly affects its victims. Thanks for putting this up👍Cheers Del
Nooice!
Cheers Garviel 😎
Was the 2nd floor you boarded just butted up against the one shown in the start, or was it tongued in ?
Hi Kevin🖐We actually put an extra row of noggins in where the two floors met so we could get lots of glue and a few nails in. Yes, they were just butted together, but we're well stuck👊Thanks for your comment 😎 Cheers Del
@@thetallcarpenter Look forward to more to come 😎😎
@@amazing451 That's good Kevin, cause I've got loads coming up👊
i noticed that you used your nail gun to put the boards down. robin clevett screws his boards. what are the pros and cons when using nails or screws. many thanks.
Hi there🖐The pro's of nails is they are quicker and cheaper, and the only con is there is the potential for them to cause squeaking when the joist shrinks, but this does not happen on this joist system for a few reasons. Firstly, the joists suffer very little shrinkage, secondly, the boards are 100% glued down with an expansive glue eliminating any voids and thirdly, there are very few nails used👍Cheers Del
paslode nails are plenty good enough....RC overcooks things.
These posi joists seem to be the in thing...told they are far more stable than solid wooden beams and also lighter to work with...thankfully you had some help there..that would have been hard going doing that yourself
Hi Arthur🖐Yes, they are much lighter to handle and make a very stable floor with little bounce and shrinkage👍Thanks for watching and your comment 😎 Cheers Del
Do you also glue the groove of each board?
Hi Josh🖐Not usually bud as the the bond is super strong just on the top of the tongue👊Cheers Del
If we don't use a tub of glue for every 4 to 5 boards we get told we're not putting enough on! 😅
@@joshyoung1411 I splash it all over the place, but have rarely double beaded the tongue and the groove. The floor will never come apart👊

Sorry, love the vid, clearly being thick, what was the glue?
Hi there🖐Its a polyurethane D4 glue that's expands a little to accommodate any gaps and is SUPER strong💪Cheers Del
@@thetallcarpenter cheers Del do you have a supplier\part number?
@@idstewart1964 Most D4, polyurethane glue is the same, and this is labelled as 'floor adhesive'👍
@@thetallcarpenter cool thanks. I do quite a few Fibreglass roof repairs and think this will fit the bill. I'll let you know
black hands for the next few days then? 🤣
Great stuff Poly glue, but I always get it over my hands. should wear gloves really 🙃
No black hands here bud👊because I am the only one handling the glue, (and I'm very careful), I don't get any on my hands, tools or clothes👊Thanks for watching and your comment😎Cheers Del
Interesting how they recommend not nailing the floor. Less squeaking on the nails I suppose and if it's all glued then no need its all one piece. Too many new builds with dogshit floors that move everywhere. Glueing the top of the joists and joints for sure is the way forward
Hi Elliot🖐These floor systems eliminate squeaking, noisy floors by using a manufactured joist that doesn't shrink, and as you say, a floor deck that is glued all round and glued down👊Thanks for your comment and for watching 😎 Cheers Del
I have this "no nails" crap floor in my house that was built in 2006 and I am so devastated by the noise the floor boards produce while walking on them. Absolute rubbish idea. It has to be screwed down otherwise they will move as the joists start bending.
Hi there🖐I would bet your floor was either not put down properly or not part of the joist 'system' and hence the noise😬This type of system should be, virtually silent if installed correctly👍Cheers Del
@The Tall Carpenter could I possibly ask your email or phone number please? I'd like to ask a couple of more questions. Our house was built in 2006. We wsnt to spend some money and eliminate the floor noise. We want to take the plaster board ceilings off downstairs to gain access to all the i-joists in order to somehow reinforce them. Would you be able to give us some advise. I'm happy to pay for your advisory. Please 🙏 thank you
Don’t you ever where knee pads mate??
