      Hey thanks for watching. The metal bit is just a light metal C-section frame work used to attach the plaster board. Most new builds use it for stud walls rather than wood/timber 👍. It’s not load bearing or structural.

    • @InDadsGarage
      @InDadsGarage  3 дні тому

      Hey thanks for watching, I’m not a qualified expert so don’t pay any attention to me. But usually internal stud walls aren’t structural, hence being a stud wall. Basically a frame for the plaster board to be hung on. If it was structural / load bearing then it would be brick or block. If unsure though then best to get someone who knows about this to confirm before you attack it with a hammer. For new builds the stud wall underneath the stair I took out is highly unlikely to have any structural properties. BUT once again I’m no expert, nor qualified 😃.

    Great video, really basic question first timer question...how did you work out the angle of the cut which runs up?

    • @InDadsGarage
      @InDadsGarage  7 місяців тому +1

      Hey thanks for watching, and no such thing as a silly question in my eyes. So my stair case runs roughly at a 45o angle (some may vary). I just cut my end panel angle at 45o the glued and nailed it. Being honest it didn’t match the inside angle perfectly, however it was all covered with the trim so didn’t matter to much. The drawer fronts then line up to the true angle as shown with the laser lever. You could use a laser lever to start with and get it spot on, or a sliding bevel angle tool. Hope that helps

      This is something I was wondering as well. Although for the metal support, seeing as he could bang it out with a hammer I'm guessing this is mainly in place for the drywall to be secured to perhaps? No way it's strong enough to support the stairs.

    • @InDadsGarage
      @InDadsGarage  4 місяці тому +1

      Hey, I am no expert or qualified electrician or plumber, but my understanding is when it comes to moving Gas and Electric meters they have to be done by the actual Gas or Electric companies themselves as owner and they would usually charge ALOT, especially if it means digging up gas pipes or cables to re-route. It's not something a local plumber of electrical would be able to do.

    Hi very nice build, differently want to do something like this for our home. Question, the structure, you use 18mm, but for the cabinets, you used 12mm, did you find it strong enough to use? I have a ryobi nailer, do you find the nails to be strong enough to use or is screwing better. Also, if you do work with MDF, please wear a mask as MDF dust is really nasty to inhale. But other than that, this is a fantastic build for £200. If you had to get a Pro to do it, they would have charged over £600 and you did a great job.

    • @InDadsGarage
      @InDadsGarage  8 місяців тому +1

      Hi thanks for you comments and feedback. So far I have found the 12mm fine for the drawer construction however if I was to do it again I would use 18mm for the drawer fronts and account for that in the overall depth. The glue and nails have been plenty strong enough though for the construction and once in place and fitted under the stairs its solid but screw would work well too. Great point about the PPF and MDF dust, unfortunately as DIYers this kind of thing is often overlooked especially when only doing odd jobs here and there, rather than working with it everyday. Thanks for watching and good luck with your project :)
