Just stumbled on ur channel, and I must say I am most grateful for the content, Please keep the Videos coming as it is going to assist me, ur video content is perfect, u have a natural flair on explaining things, channels like this really help everyday people tackle jobs the right way. Thanks again Matey 🙂
Really enjoyed this series from the very first episode.
I agree with your comments about the appearance of the staircase, bit more work but well worth the effort.
Glad you agree, but it really does make a difference. I'll only be doing it once so may as well make it look nice. Thanks for watching 👍
I enjoy your videos, you explain things very well. I agree with you about the stairs, better than just plain walls.
Yep another good video Pouse. I enjoy the way you explain everything in layman’s terms. Still bitterly disappointed with no tata farewell again tho 😢
Top work Pouse
Thank you 👍
Nice work
Thanks 👍
Thanks for sharing
No problem, thanks for watching 👍
2:46, an idea could have been to make a top plate and then while you were insulating you could have marked where the rafters where. Great job doing it all yourself, always hard to look so far ahead when you're under pressure with time and balancing a job!
If you look at my insulation videos I have been marking the rafters as I go along. Good idea though and thanks for watching 👍
I've used those downlighters. I found the springs to be very strong and almost impossible to remove without wrecking the plasterboard. Interested to know if you had any problems with them? That said, dead handy to wire up.
Thanks for this. Assuming you have finished the whole thing some time ago. What are the main things that you would you have done differently knowing what you know now?
I probably would have replaced the whole roof with new timbers and wall plates as a lot of time was spent trying to match old with new. But that said, it's a semi detached house so I have to consider blending in with next doors roof also. There's not a huge amount I could have done differently given I had limited help and was living in the house while the work took place. Thanks for watching 👍
Going through a similar build- had a pretty big argument about keeping the window split by the stairs- wife won in the end when I was told we’d need to switch it for a non opening window so it is bricked up now…
Glad you found a 'compromise'! Thanks for watching.
Lovely stuff pouse
Thanks 👍
At the top, along the ridge/rafters, are they fixed in place or free? I couldn't see what you were fixing them to because of the installation.
Sorry if I missed it, did you need a party wall agreement with your neighbour? Also if wouldn't mind sharing, how much did it cost for the building control inspections and the structural engineer works?
Can I ask a genuine question, how do you know you're conforming to building regs or constructing in the correct way - and is it all self-taught or do you have to be an apprentice to know what you're doing? I'm contemplating perhaps shadowing a tradesman to get better knowledge of DIY.
You apply to building control for a building notice for a loft conversion. The building officer will tell you what you need to comply with and they will inspect the work periodically. You'll need a structural engineer to work out calculations for any structural stuff like joists. Speak to your local building officer, mine was very happy to help. Plus it's all on line if you go to the .gov portal. Hope that helps 👍
Still doing that blinking loft conversion, Pouse?
What screws are suitable for this structural works? 🤔
I just used gold screw from screwfix. These walls aren't structural, just internal stud timber walls. Hope that helps.
That’s c16 cls not c24 structural by the looks of things and Where’s your top wall plate? Plasterboard will flex and plaster will 100% crack…. Couldn’t see any top plates? And why the double noggins walls that tiny nogs half way would suffice bro
Electrics are witchcraft 😂😂, certainly takes some forward planning.
It does indeed, thanks for watching 👍
