So you're a normal couple in this day and age, not rich, not poor, just happy and together making a life for yourself, budgeting for what you want, good to see. Keep at it, be safe.
You will own nothing and be happy. Embrace the liberal world order already. Comply, consume, obey.
I have done some woodworks in the past but this woodwork plan ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG helps me do much in a far lesser time than i used to do i have already built several projects with this plan and i intend to do many more soon. Thank you so much!
Jess so was eloquent and relatable in how she explained the modern day budgeting flow. I love how much more comfortable she's gotten in front of the camera! She's so pleasant and funny!
Thank you, that's a really encouraging thing to hear 😊

Between 'R' rolling and 'S' lisping this has been awesome! 😂
Cuttings are the best thing I remember 30 yrs ago my wife and I bought an old seaside batch with no gardens just 1/4 acre with a house and a few small sheds. Like every new mortgage holder we had no spare money so I dug garden beds and we went for walks around the neighbourhood taking cuttings before long we had a huge garden, some plants failed but enough lived to create what we wanted.
PFC, Parallel Flange Channel, also Beams. It comes from the "new" era of steel fabrication when all sections were tapered but now are all very close tolerance formed.😊
Oh dear. Now I have a serious case of home sickness. The scenery, the bird sounds, the lifestyle. All areas you show familiar to me and my Wife, even after 35yrs of living in a different country. Totally love Nelson Bay area. You have made a life changing choice in moving there. Thanks for the memories.
Kiwi expat for 25 year now. Plan to move back in 2025. Hopefully things get back to 'normal' by then.
So cool to see content creators on UA-cam from my home town! Instant sub.
Your architect looks to match your work personality perfectly. Excited for his work so you can get on with yours!
I'm suspicious that he is an architect at all. Seems too... practical.
I really enjoy these vlogs, it’s like the block but with down to earth people and no dramas. You guys are awesome and I’m here for it
I watch all videos just for the "Ska Baan hya" intro...
Is your hearing jacked up? Lol
I thought it was “got brown hair”
Hahahahahaha too funny
We purchased t-shirts and got a website. Thank you both for lots of good content. My wife and I watch every Saturday morning here in North Carolina.
Love the content since the beginning. I'm a structural engineer halfway around the world in the San Francisco metro area in California. It is busy out here and also supply chain issues are a plenty. I work on many projects similar to what you are trying to achieve with your house. I'm sure the engineer on your project will go through all of the options. But in addition to LVL or steel beams, there are glulam beam products, maybe a flitch beam comprised of wood and metal plates, and various steel shapes that hopefully some are more readily available. Good luck on your home renovation journey.
Building a 7 meter beam from smaller pieces is a good idea.
I've been watching Scott for years myself and do a lot of work in Sacramento and Bay Area! You mostly work in commercial market?
@@corlissmedia2.0 not an option, here in nz... it has to be fully engineer certified and welding small parts together would just cost more than an original single span of 7m beam (coz the engineer either has to weld it, or if you welded it the engineer has to test it... which is generally not what happens). As it is 7m in length, it may have to be a welded beam, as it is anyway which drives the cost up.
Square space! Coming in clutch, I will be making my website with square space because of Scott Brown Carpentry. Thanks for sponsoring creators.
Loving Jess's reactions to her growing plants. Soon enough she would be walking around with clippers :)
I always love meeting your contractors, engineers, inspectors, etc. That friendly competence is so refreshing.
Love seeing you out in your new area. Abel Tasman is a beauty spot. Supply constraints certainly are a problem everywhere. Shout out from Vancouver Island, BC
So glad you guys enjoying it there. Always relaxing watching your episodes. Keep up with the plants!
You two seem so genuine. Fair play to you keep the videos coming and your success will follow.
I was pretty pleased with myself seeing the talk of shortages and ordering the 10 sheets I needed for my current renovation job back in December. Arrived for pick up in mid Feb, about a week before I needed them!
I guess I'm helping you out Scott ,I started watching your channel to a while ago and kept watching cuz you're such a stand up guy! All the best.
Love watching what your up to!!!!
Renovations & gardening. Thank you very much!!!
Beautiful location! Congrats on the new house. I love watching your videos - they keep me calm in a chaotic world. Cheers
Amazing how you tell these stories so well ❤️
Love your work Scott! We took out a load bearing wall at our house in Australia last year. It was a 7 meter wall and we needed a steel beam so it would fit in the roof space. Needed additional hardwood studs supporting the beam and new stumps under the studs. We craned the beam in through the side of the weatherboards into the roof space. Was a very interesting process and has created a much more usable, larger space.
Well thought out video on your plans and constraints. Glad to see that you are taking your time because the hard part: Getting the house is over. Living in it awhile gives you time to figure out what you REALLY want rather than demoing and then regretting. I'm also glad to see that you two are taking some time to enjoy the reason you bought the house: to have a place to live and enjoy the surroundings. Oh yes, tell Jess that the plant she is unsure of is also a Philodendron but a variegated Philodendron. Cheers from Florida!!
Yep Nelson awesome place to live , luv the sounds of the native birds , like how you repurposed old cabinet shelf , & then turn it into an office desk . House is looking good to , good purchase . 👍🏾
Great insight into product shortages Scott. A nuisance , just when you are starting to renovate, however it will happen! As Jess said, ‘you live in a beautiful area of NZ’. Also good work Jess with your 🪴 plants.
To travel to the Able Tasman on a day trip is incredible.
Keep your budget going 👍😎.
Done a job almost identical to this late last year on an old 60'd house.
To achieve the point load on either end we stiched new bearer and joost to the existing ( making it larger ) and the other end added new joists with a new pile . Good fun in a small space . Simple bit dirty work.
Tell Jess the plant with the spotty leaves is a bamboo begonia. So cool to see you in the abel tasman I was born in motueka and it's a great place.
Abel Tasman national park is probably my favourite spot in the whole world. I've kayaked it twice. *Chef's kiss*
Hi Scott, I feel your pain, we have a 100 year old brick villa in Dunners, all the walls need lining with gib, the floor joists went rotten years ago so the floors all need replacing, we’ve got 3 rooms to go and because we are self funding it’s taken us 3 years so far! Good luck, be patient and keep going on the little jobs, it’s too easy to come home from work and put them all off till the weekend!
Top notch filming and production on this exciting episode 👌
Love your work guys, best of luck with getting your materials in some kind of timely fashion.
Just did a similar Renovation to my living/kitchen area on my house which is also similar age. I went with a LVL beam (3x 300x45) and had to increase the pile footings at each end of the beam (including under the ring foundation) and on the sides of a large opening that also has a secondary beam connected to the main beam. instead of a full Consent I had the renovation designed by an Engineer and have gone with a Consent Exemption.
Nice to see a little bit of your area, it's time for a tour of Nelson and places for smoko, on that note the Smoko Time mugs arrived last week thank you. I can see plants with Jess being a regular feature. We renovated a complete wreck as our first house, we just put the finishing touches to it just before we sold it, only took 30 years!
I really enjoy watching your videos Scott. you have taught me a lot in the past couple of years. Hoping to build my own small cabin here in the future, and your videos are so helpful. I also like that your wife is in more of the videos! She adds another dimension to your videos and makes it feel like we are in your circle! Keep it up bro.
Looking forward to seeing the build
Just finished a renovation with a span very similar to yours.
I used PFC over LVL with steel supports running down the walls and re-suppored under the floor with steel supports and a reinforced strip footing on one side, the span teachers the centre of the house, again the PFC was supported by a steel upright with steel supports under the floor between double joists to a reinforced footing (1m2, big foot in a 300mm crawl space all mixed by hand).
The best thing I had done was open up all main windows to sliding doors and bi-folds. I know I keep going on about it but trust me, it's worth it!
I love how you and Jess talked in front of the camera. You guys make a perfect balance of humor and business-wise talk. I am glad that you bought a house on the south island. We have a problem in America when the building materials are out and we have to order them to get them in in a few weeks. You are not the only one. I have to wait for backorder for materials before I can begin the job! I can't wait to see the finishing product of the house!
I am looking forward to seeing your long term project. It doesn’t matter to me how long it takes as much as it will mean to you.
But I do hope it doesn’t take too long for you guys.
I'm happy to see more of Jess in the videos. She offers a balance to your personality and makes the channel better.
Hi Scott , I’m a self employed joiner in Inverness not too far away from Kingussie where I believe you have roots , love your videos joined your channel during lock down back in 2020 , love the tool reviews as I’m a Makita man , even bought the hikoki nailer after watching you using it ,. Love the content you post keep it up , cheers first time I’ve commented. Such a chilled out channel to watch
Did a DIY LVL beam for a house in Ontario Canada in 2020. Span was around 13ft and our engineering letter specified that we needed to support the point load on either side with 3" high strength steel square posts with specs for plates bottom and top for the beam to rest on. For the exterior wall side we needed just one post sat on top of the foundation wall. For the interior side which landed roughly in the centre of the house we needed a post for the main level, then another post in the basement directly underneath, then we needed to cut a 22"x22" hole in the basement floor a pour an 8" footing for the basement post to rest on. Another detail was that we opted to rest the roof trusses on top of the beam and drywall around it rather than moving the beam up inside the ceiling, cutting the trusses and using brackets to attach the trusses direct tot he beam. That seemed like it would be a bit too much for us to handle. To put the beam in place we used two drywall hoists to lift the beam into rough position, then bottle jacked it up on either side to bear the weight and welded in underneath it. It was a bear of a project but did it all ourselves except for the welding. The annoying part is that the wall was probably not load bearing to begin with but the engineer couldn't conclusively determine that so we had to assume it was. Copying the exact details of the letter below in case you're interested.
A site visit was made to the above address on August 28, 2019 regarding the the opening up of the wall
within the residential bungalow on the property. The design is in accordance with the OBC 2012.
To facilitate the removal of the wall between the existing kitchen and the living area of the structure a 3 Ply
1-3/4” thick 3100 Fb-2.0E LVL or equal having a maximum clear span of 13'-0” is to be installed. The
beam is to be supported at either end by a 3”x3”x 1/4” HSS post having 8” x width of beam x1/4” thick top
plate and 8”x8”x1/4” bottom plates . The plates are to be fully welded to the posts with 1/4” fillet welds.
The posts are to be fastened to the beam with 2 of 3/8” A325 bolts, to the existing foundation wall below
with 2 of 3/8” anchors at one end and to the existing load bearing wall top plate at the other. Blocking is to
be provided as required for positive bearing. A 3”x3”x 1/4” HSS post having 8”x 8x1/4” thick top and
bottom plates is to be installed centrally below the bearing wall top plate at the bearing point of the newly
installed post above. The lower post is to be anchored to the bearing wall top plate using 2 of 3/8” lag
anchors and to a newly poured concrete (20 Mpa) 22”x22”x 8” footing with 2 of 3/8” anchors.

I've worked in this industry a while in NZ and honestly....this was always coming. People forget that NZ is an island...at the bottom of the Pacific ocean, importing is expensive! Making our own stuff is great, but we have a tiny population. Add a pandemic, then lockdowns and everything gets slowed even further. GIB have massive 24 hr factories but they are 4 months behind. We literally just have to wait it out. It's like a massive reset. I just hope the monopolies can be broken up, but I'm not optimistic because our market share is so small! It wouldn't be worth it to overseas companies

Had the privilege of visiting Abel Tasman in March 2020, shortly before the first lockdown. We too stopped on the track between the beaches waiting to record clips of that amazing birdsong in that beautiful forest. What a special place! Love being transported back to NZ through your videos Scott!
Hey Scott!
Exciting to see the progress of your workshop and renovation plans!
When are you planning to start working with your business again?
Keep it up you two!
We added a big steel beam into our 2 storey early 40’s house. One side fell onto the ring foundation so pretty straightforward but the other didn’t quite find a pile so we dug a new one. We ended up shifting the house and it all stayed in there (along with two others we put in) so must have done okay for a DIYer
And, thanks for showing your hiking paradise area. I have hiked the same area and lived in New Zealand, mostly the South Island, cycled it actually for 10 months. I fell in love with the safety of the country, the lightheartedness of the humour Kiwis I met on so many hikes and kayak trips, and cycling adventures. I have visited New Zealand 💛 3 times in my life. The funny thing is I was hoping to meet the man of my life down there as I fell in love with the South Island and the wonderful attitude of the people. Yes, you do live in paradise in the Nelson area and all of the South Island. I hiked for weeks on Stewart Island and did the complete main trail as well as a special permit trail in the South part of Stewart Island, in the outbacks more remote part. Again, all due to my adventurous attitude and the special people I ran into during my 10 month work and visit visa. So pleased of your success. Yes, here in Atlantic Canada, Eastern Canada, on the small provincial province Island called Prince Edward Island, I too have to postpone building the extension due to supply chain issues, and finding a contractor that is available and who has enough labourer working for him! This too shall pass! In the meantime I really appreciate how you mentioned that it is time to rethink things, focus on what one has, like your plants for example, and go day by day, saving up, then buying, then saving up, then buying, all the while trying to buy when the prices are not so crazy. Tough times for so many people, especially the suffering people in Ukraine. Stay safe, coronavirus BA2 is now circulating while restrictions lift. Less lethal of a virus than omicron but still, for certain people it can be quite unsafe if they get infected. 🇨🇦

We have to put a beam in next. So this was a great video to learn what to do first. I figured I needed a builder, but now I'll look for an architect
Scott! There are pencil marks on the budget block! Hahaha
I remember Abel Tasman quite well from when I moved to NZ back in 1988 for a job (I was the project manager for Hawkins on the Air New Zealand Domestic Terminal addition project) & took some time mountain biking the So. Island afterward.
I am currently a builder in California and have had to deal with point loads on various projects through the years. You obviously need to carry the load all the way to the ground, but what you don't mention is that the load from the posts will be eccentric if it lands on the existing foundation wall. we always have a structural engineer evaluate & design the solution. This typically requires pouring a pier footing centered on each post.
I feel for you on the material shortages, but can't imagine it being as bad as you have it there. About a year ago there were large shortages here & delays of about a month on lumber & drywall (what you call plasterboard). Most materials are available now, but the prices seem to move almost on a weekly basis. Currently the price on a sheet of 1/2" x 4' x12' drywall at the local Home Depot is ~$22(us) + sales tax (8.75%). At the beginning of the pandemic, the price was about $12/ sheet. Pricing volatility is still the problem though. A few weeks ago I bid a project that had $40,000 in lumber (probably half that price before the pandemic). The lumber yard that I received the quote from would only "hold its number" for 5 days unless I payed for the materials in full. I don't even have a contract from the owner yet so basically my bid is no longer "good".
When we renovated our last home, our contractor installed four- (4) LVL's in our attic - that were bolted together - to support our ceiling. He had to install additional timber beams in the walls in addition to pouring new concrete foundation to support the beams - due to weight issues.
Doing anything related to a home (buying, renting, renovating, repairing) was already a nerve racking experience...now it's down right frightening.
Not knowing if things will ever improve adds an unbearable weight. Good luck on your adventures! We all have to find our way🙂
Hi Scott, David here from the Netherlands. I bought a 1906 house 2 years ago and i am still finishing the fitst stage of our renovation plan. I recognise the struggle for materials and especially plaster board. Ended up buying some damaged board, while still paying full price. I was lucky to get most of my timber before the shortages started. We also budget as we go, since we are both freelancers. I work whenever i can to save some money and i work on the house when i have less work. It is taking a lot longer than i would like, but i still think this is the best way for us. I am sure your house will be looking great in no time and i will follow the process for inspiration and education.
We visited New Zealand 3 years ago. Traveled from North to South (just like you!) and i still think it is the most beautiful country i will ever see. Keep up the good work on the channel and in life and don't fortunate you are.
That's weird. Just hop the border to the next Hornbach in Germany. Plasterboard is in no short supply here and it did hardly rise in price the last years, still (almost) cheap as dirt.
This is because gypsum is still produced in large quantities in the flue gas desulfurization of coal-fired power plants and is therefore very cheap. Gypsum will only become scarce and expensive when we shut down coal-fired power plants due to the energy transition.
Living in Germany 600m next to the dutch boarder. Didn’t see shortages in plasterboards either in German construction markets or the Dutch ones (Hornbach Geleen, Gamma Echt).
But we have shortage in sunflower oil here :-D!
I never knew that Monarch butterflies were in New Zealand. Cool.
The Monarch here in New Zealand is considered native as it acts a bit different here.
When we ran out of board in the uk, on our site we ply boarded then used binding compound to plaster on with
Great content bro! Yes just renoed my house in Auckland. took out a 8m wall and built a box beam in the ceiling space. 900 high 7mm thick ply either side of the half truss king posts that were previously supported by the wall. banged it out in 3 days only 8mm sag after. I'm not a builder so pretty stoked with myself haha
Once again a great video bro! Hope your loving the South Island!
I was thinking about Mathew's accent right when you asked! I love how it sounds!
Scott thx for asking about the r and showing us all where it is etc helps alot brother from Canada 🇨🇦
Thanks for showing the Able Tasman.
Wife says the plant with the large verigated leaf and new shoot is a “devils ivy “.

Hey, Scott, Danilo here, from Brazil. I'm an aerospace engineer, professor, and aircraft builder. I've never had the curiosity about New Zealand but today a found myself searching for "aerospace jobs in New Zealand". Maybe the government should pay you for this service... international relations... I don't know... (kiding). Very good show, man. You guys are my kind of people.
I started studying architecture after I get out of the army and I have a little knowledge plus I've learned some things along the way
We put two steal beams in my brother's, former grandpa's, house. Not that long, more three to four meters and with brick walls. Thankfully we were mostly finished with all the renovations before the prices went through the roof in Germany. Over a year later, everything is so much more expensive or harder to get. Construction wood, wires, pipes. You name it.
Even other stuff like electronics or special parts are sometimes delayed for months. And now gasoline etc. If income would only increase like costs did the last couple of years.
However, I hope every thing works out for you.
@Der Traubengott Am Ball bleiben und auf Schnäppchen beim Material achten. Großhändler oder Hersteller mal direkt anrufen und fragen ob man etwas direkt bekommen kann. Schlimm ist es, wenn es bestimmtes Material gar nicht mehr gibt oder der Zulieferer pleite geht. Und aufpassen, dass nichts geklaut wird. Ist kein Spaß, wenn einem plötzlich die Kabel oder das Holz fehlt. Am besten versichern und wegschließen.
Alles Gute für den Ausbau.
Here in ireland, the prices of materials are though the roof and when you go into builder providers recently there always empty the staff are saying they can't afford materials for a job. I got some sheets of plasterboard yesterday and was 800 and a few months ago it would have been 450. Big jump
I appreciate you asking the question I was asking myself (that was some strong R rolling there from Matt!)
In AU there is only one timber I-Joist plant. The rest come from the Canada & the US. Last year we started using bridge truss floor joists. Not the ones made from 4x2. These have stamped steel bracing. LVL's & Glulams take awhile to get as well, which are all made in AU.
Drywall(Gyprock, Sheetrock, GIB, plasterboard) delivery has taken 4 months for our whole house build. Interestingly there was also a huge delay on insulation. I ended up driving from one Bunnings to the next to fill out the order.
I am so glad you asked about the accent because that is the most unique accent I have ever heard.
Also, I like plants as well. But I run a golf course. So I get most jacked by stopping my plants from growing. Growth regulation is an amazing and complex thing and doing it appropriately is how you maximize playing conditions. Different strokes for different folks, eh?
Here in Launceston, CSR stopped selling to public in October, then ran out in December and closed up and went home. They are only supplying subbies for large jobs. We were going to renovate, have given up, best to be grateful you bought a house and just save money.
I loved the model sailboats. Those exist only in old children's books where I live. Nelson is essentially a resort community right? What a lucky dog you are.
Resort community? Ha! No. Just nice-sized and sunny. Nobody there would call it a resort.
looking great! the beach, birds, and forest at the end were particularly lovely. agree that getting seedlings and cuttings to root and sprout is much more exciting after you've tried it in real life! can't you just 3d print a roof beam out of reclaimed beach plastic or something?
Got quite a stash of gib leftover from previous jobs so will throw on trademe and see how they go. Thanks guys 👍
Just found this channel, and am hopeful that your home gets the reno it needs! You two are an adorably honest couple. Never realised those boards are hard to get. Hmmm, maybe I shud go into plasterboard export business.. =D
Scott. Plaster board was first marketed as Gibralter Board. Its logo was a Naval warship with the Rock of Gibraltar in the background. Hence the abbreviation "Gib".
Love the vids. Cheers John.
Do lathe and lime plaster. Extremely good for the environment and a healthy option for the home.
Yup. what most kiwis don't realise is while we have no building quality gypsum mines, we've literally got mountains of lime. I can think of maybe 20 guys around the country that would be competent applying it. It's actually ridiculous.
We're doing a renovation that seems to be taking forever, but have Lime in the bathroom and clay elswhere, it really does make a difference, especially when we average 85% humidity year round.
Having 17 sheets of 4’x8’ green board and some plywood being delivered Sunday. Here in north east USA 1/2 in mold resistant drywall is running 15.36 a 4’x8’ sheet. In same renovating scenario as you guys.
Hi scott been a big follower of you on you tube since the beginning,you and Jess will look back on what you have achieved in years to come.I really felt for you both at my local builders merchant in Wales u.k. today plasterboard everywhere wish I could have sent you a load,catch you again a fellow carpentor/joiner.
Hi Scott, try Prolam, they're local and make Glulam beams. I got a ceiling beam specified by them the other day and they supplied it through Placemakers in about 3 weeks. I also prefer to use structural timber beams wherever I can without going to steel or a flitch beam as they're lighter, easier to handle and fix.
Cheers for the heads up! I'll look into it
My Mum's bach in Whitianga suffered a flooded bathroom on the third floor right before Christmas. This destroyed most of the gib on the second floor and all of it on the first floor. The rebuild is now stalled, partially because of a lack of gib.
Oh there is a good point load on the wall and sometimes a post is added in the wall if the roof truss or beam is carrying enough load... but often the typical wall foundation is enough , and spreads the point load sufficiently for the bearing capacity of the soil.
You two are perfect for each other. It's nice to see.
As a new construction home builder in canada its very crucial here the point loads as we got bunch of wind & snow. So we have to allow extra KPA for roof loads. Same goes for horizontal load as most houses have a full rougly 7' deep foundation anywhere from 6" wide to 12" wide (8" beeing the most common) and so latteral force is applied by the backfill or dirt. Applying horizontal loads to the foundation. we have to take into consideration the top of foundation beeing supported latteraly at top (usually with joist beeing connected to the top of it) other wise we need extra large footings with vertical reebar & tie-ins. Anyway, all that to say thats there's not only vertical load to think about but horizontal loads as well here.
We have horizontsl loads in NZ in the form of earthquake and wind share forces, notcto mention posible liquifaction of ground. Seens physics is a universal thing aye?
We removed half of the lounge wall and put a 3m beam in the opening. At the point where the beam landed on the remaining wall we added a pile directly beneath. Also the remaining wall required extra bracing.
So glad you're happy in Nelson area. What's next Scott Brown Bird Song? Lovin it.
Like you we are buying as we can
As we are building a home from scratch.
Love your show
Let's hear more about the free sink! :D
I appreciate the single t architect too as a single t-er myself. Keep it up Scott and Jess!
My family of 4 spent 5 years of my early life remodeling and adding 3,000 sq/ft on our house. Dither than the foundation we built it all so I learned about point load and the whole Shabang as a kid. I’m now 20 going into construction management and love it because of my young life. Absolutely love the videos, keep it up!
That wood chopping idea @0:12 was amazing!

Most of the time here, when doing what you want to do, we have to dig new holes for footings (inspection), install rebar (inspection), pour the footing (another inspection.)
UGH
Good on Matt for using Te Reo Maori 👍👍
I’ve got 3 sheets of plasterboard left over from a job from 3 years ago plus a bunch of off cuts. Perfect for anyone trying to finish a job and short on a few boards
Love the B-roll in your videos!
The NZ history lesson was cool.
A living reno sounds like a good way to go, all things considered.
I saw another NZ DIY building project and they came across Elephant Plasterboard in NZ and it can get delivered to the merchant. But they soon could be on back order with the word spreading.
Glad I got our babies bedroom renovation done a couple of months ago
Quite often called "Gyprock" in Australia too.
Sending you lot's of love and abundance guys. Hang in there!
