G'Day Shane, definitely worth the extra effort to take the straightedge across the wall. You will get a GREAT finish. Keep up the good work and we look forward to part 2. Lock's on the doors are just around the corner.
+Sebastopolmark Yeah Mark, straightening the walls is a critical part of the job prior to the walls being clad. No one likes a wobbly wall. Cheers mate
G'day Skylight. The jamb is made from Meranti and at it's thickest part it's 30mm. You can buy the entire kit, with sill, from Bunnings. Just ask for an external door jamb. Cheers
G'day Shane, Would it be ok to install the aluminum flashing prior to installing the door jambs (fixing it flush up against the rough opening of the door studs? Cheers.
Na not really mate. The reason being that the door frame needs to be levelled and then the flashing fits snugly onto the levelled door. Installing the flashing before hand may be a bit tricky with the whole Levelling thing...if you know what l mean?? 👍
@@diyforknuckleheads Beauty thanks Shane, so I'm guessing it's better to prepare that small check out into the External door jamb prior to installing the jamb into the rough opening? Apologies for the million questions. Cheers.
G'day Shane, Another question: is it worthwhile cutting the sarking at 45 degrees to the window openings and folding it in and onto the sill and lintel (stapling it) or just cutting it as you've done and the flashing it with the plastic flashing (snake skin stuff)? Thanks for the vids. Always appreciate them.
I really appreciate these videos, with the wrap it is not clear to me why in another video you used sisalation paper with a reflective side on one wall and on these walls there was no requirement for that?
G'day. The reason for the difference is that the foil backed sarking (which is the correct term) was used on a wall that was brick veneer and the grey coloured sarking was a breathable product which goes behind cladding that is attached to the stud work like the weatherboard style cladding that l used. Hope that makes sense. Cheers 👍😁
@@diyforknuckleheads Thank you for that, I always have a nose around the buildings being put up around where we live in north Brisbane and almost without fail everything is covered in a sarking with some form of foil and every building here is either weatherboards or some sort of faux weatherboard. Thanks again.
hey man just wondering since you are doing this all yourself, have you not been working a full time job this whole process? im been thinking of building a house but i want to take only a couple months off to get it started. Overall how much money % wise are you saving doing all this yourself?
+komandrew G'day mate. Currently l'm working full time on the house. I'm very hands on and are doing everything except for those things that only a licensed person can do like anything electrical, plumbing or installing the roof.. My jobs a reasonable size reno (approx 330 square metres) and l've been going solid since June. I'd expect to be saving at least 30 % of the overall cost of the build. Cheers
+Barry Roberts Bazza, l'd love to be in by xmas but alas that's not to be, Xmas time is the worst time ever to get things done. Everyone is so busy! Yeah l forgot my cuppa….It must have been to hot :-) Cheers mate
Hope Gary is getting paid in the beer economy?? Nice job mate, the prep on those old studs is half the battle, how many planer blades did you go through?
Your cameraman must have got stuck into the site supplies early.. the focus is a little off :P Seriously though, was it just a cost thing goin with weatherboard vs brick for the house, Uncle Knackers? Love ya work, can't wait for Ep 27 part 2a section 3c paragraph 346q :P
+themaconeau Mate l do all the camera work myself and sometimes l have a little bit of trouble focusing. I'm pretty hopeless at it really. I should have someone behind the camera…oh well.. I went with the weatherboard for two reasons. Reason one is the l loike weatherboards and it keeps in with the surrounding homes. Secondly it was something that l could do so it was the cheaper option. Stay tuned mate it's coming up soon. Cheers :-)
i watch these videos everyday. for inspiration on building. i love making things and it was these videos that started me off. thanks Shane mate
+Rossi B No worries Rossi. I;m glad you like them. If you have any questions please feel free to shoot me a message. Cheers :-)
What a great neighbor.
+WoodRodent He's a top bloke mate.

+Sebastopolmark Yeah Mark, straightening the walls is a critical part of the job prior to the walls being clad. No one likes a wobbly wall. Cheers mate
Bloody beauty uncle ! You're an absolute master, looking forward to pt.2 mate, cheers Shane.
+James Blanton Good stuff James. Stick around for part 2. It turned out pretty good. Cheers mate
Looks like your coming along nicely, Shane. I like how you used the planner to bring the studs even.
+Steve Collins Pretty important step getting those studs straight Steve. Cheers mate
Hey there mate, its coming on a treat.See you on the next one.
+Woodworking Brewer Thanks mate.
Wow, you got the house all wrapped up weeks before Christmas :)
+woodturningjohn It's actually moved on very quickly from then John. We should be in around the end of Feb….fingers crossed. Cheers mate
Dam proud studs ! They should be humble, like the rest of us.
Love your videos. So helpful! Thankyou
No worries mate....glad you find them useful. Cheers 👍😁
2:28 what type of wood is that door jamb? the thick part with striker plate on it (not sure if you call that jamb or not)
G'day Skylight. The jamb is made from Meranti and at it's thickest part it's 30mm. You can buy the entire kit, with sill, from Bunnings. Just ask for an external door jamb. Cheers
Great job, mate. I suppose with Hardie breaks installed between your cladding and wall wraps, your walls are gonna be more long lasting and durable.
www.jameshardie.com.au/products/thermal-break/hardiebreak-thermal-strip/
G'day Max. The Hardie Breaks are a good idea but l think they're designed for steel framed homes. Cheers mate 👍
Do you have any episodes for fitting and flashing the windows?
+Michael Pascoe Unfortunately l don't Michael. During that process l had forgot to charge my camera battery :-(

Shane Great build coming along nicely .. PS Where are you going to put the barbie ?
Just like levelling frets on a guitar but on a waaaaaay bigger scale!

dumb question, isnt that wrap a fire transfer/spread hazard or is it specially treated?
It's fire proof mate 👍
@@diyforknuckleheads Thanks Shane :)
No insulation in the walls??
All the walls were insulated Errol....
How much longer do you think you have to go Shane?
+Frazer Green Mate we're looking at Febuary at this stage….fingers crossed :-)
how come that paper not the same as that green sheet you put on other side
+Womb Smasher The paper was different due to the different types of cladding. Very observant. Cheers
Are you still living in a part of that home during the reno? It seems like there are things going on absolutely everywhere!

Almost finished. It should be finished by XMAS.

Very reminiscent of Russel Quoit ha ha

Looks good Shane, do you think you will be done by Christmas?What happened to your cuppa? Take Care, Barry from England.
+Barry Roberts Bazza, l'd love to be in by xmas but alas that's not to be, Xmas time is the worst time ever to get things done. Everyone is so busy! Yeah l forgot my cuppa….It must have been to hot :-) Cheers mate
Hope Gary is getting paid in the beer economy?? Nice job mate, the prep on those old studs is half the battle, how many planer blades did you go through?
+Our Build Mate Gary has been a legend! Crownies are the currency around here :-) Planer blades…..two sets. Those old studs were like iron :-)
As always, great video Shane. still enjoing the process? ;)
+Martijn van Tooren Thanks mate. Yes l am even though l am getting a little weary. Cheers :-)
