I'm always impressed by your filming style. The interludes of nature and what's surrounding you, like kayaks or water, followed by the action of building. It's so relaxing. I really appreciate your videos.
Classic SBC video! Great content, amazing editing, with catchy mellow music of a build in front of beautiful scenery. It's got it all. Good fun to see the collaboration as well. Thanks guys!
I’m a chippe from Syd on our resi builds we lay yellow tounge similar to what you were but we stagger all the joints we can’t have boards with joints running in the same line has to be staggered so we start the full board off each end to land on a joist and then when getting to the end of the building the off cut will land over a little to be cut back but the size generally will stay the same the hole time if the building is square and allowing for wet areas stair voids etc also we also use fibro cement sheet for the wet areas generally kitchen laundry and bathrooms but bathrooms with a framed step down off the joist and we generally double up the joist for the joins of the sheeting and try land the load bearing walls on them. Really cool to see the differences in building definitely more craftsmanship in what you guys are doing then the kit homes going up here another cool video n maybe you missed your calling as a skater could of been nz gold medalist this yr haha
Flooring sheets are staggered in nz too. I think scott forgot to mention that. But its on the strandfloor specifications that sheets need to be staggered.
Your approach to embracing simplicity and efficiency, without relying on lasers, speaks volumes about your resourcefulness and practical wisdom. It's refreshing to see how you make the most out of traditional methods and direct hands-on work. This kind of authenticity and ingenuity truly shines through, making your journey all the more captivating. And I am Floating Village Life, Hit follow and let's explore together!
Yeah, but I'm not sure the owner wants to see dents in his new floor where Scott landed. Sure, the underlay and carpet will hide it, but I wouldn't want to see contractors doing this to my new home.
So good to see you on a build SBC!! It does look cold and sunny equals a beautiful environment!☀️shouldn’t you be in Paris for Skateboarding finale!!🏄😎
Funny how what you call whacking, is called "persuading" here in France (word for word). We have a huge wooden mallet for that. I guess persuasion is just about finding the right argument, huh? Good video, thank you.
G,day Scott Brown Carpentry from Sydney Australia. I'm now a 'convert.' Instead of LVL or solid lumbar floor joists, I would select steel C purlins @125 and screw down. (Leather gloves). Then use metal self drilling screws for floor sheets as specified in the manufacturer technical and installation brochure. 🌏🇦🇺
Then you have to buzz the bearers to get everything square, plus how exactly do you square it up at the end - unscrew and move the purlin? Timber is renewable, not sure exactly what problem steel purlins are solving.
are those stainless screws holding the osb down? Is this representative of the averaqe build in NZ - the care taken, the attention to detail? If so, it shows why houses in Australia are so sub par!
Wondering if you put an air barrier on the underside of the floor. We don’t build like this in Canada but I really love seeing how things are done from all over. Super interesting!
Love your videos Scott! I was a framing contractor for years so I'm very surprised someone would use a track saw to cut subflooring. What is your reasoning on that? Thank you
I wear rugby shorts all year round. So long as I've got warm feet - good woollen socks - my legs don't get cold. Or, maybe my knees don't have any temp sensors. 🤷♂🤔
Question. If a wet area is tanked and tiled, that floods from a sink for example, then the waters exit point would be out the door into the adjacent room or hallway. Are those areas included with treated strand floor? Thank you
Full marks for the olly... theres ife in them old knees yet! Q : is that chipboard flooring okay in the rain and the damp over night etc? what happens over the rest of the build?
thats how i do a floor with stringing the joists as they arent always the same measurement in height, i noticed when watching yt vids on the yanks in america, they dont give a f, an just nail the joists straight to the bearer. good to see u doing it the right way
In regards to laying the flooring, it was standard to use just nails, aka squeaky floors later in life. Now we use screws.. Do we use "glue and screw" as seen on some Canadian "Make It Right Shows" for builds here in New Zealand?
I wonder if the price difference between the treated and untreated boards is worth the time taken to verify and sort them? Presumably! (Currently building a deck, so same logic applies - good timing!)
I had to leave the building industry due to the Economic downfall. Had to settle for a Warehousing role. Long story short, it's refreshing to see this video & remind me how awesome the building industry can be.
What about all the other sections of the joist? You're only running string line at certain points of the joists? i.e the middle section or a bit further in could be wrong
Don't like to be a kiss a** but that's some fine work and a great site atmosphere 👍 Just wondering though, you building the external walls of the floor sheet? Cheers from the UK
You establish square and parallel points on your joist system, then snap a line between your corners and cut them off in place. Larry Haun did it in his videos with the rafter tails
If you can guarantee your end joists are parallel, it's quite simple. Just mark two reference points on one end that are your final dimension along that joist. Then guestimate two similar points on the far joist. Then you just need to move those second two points until the diagonal lengths between opposite corners are the same. Then you can just snap a line across the joists to each corner and cut off the ends.
I honestly feel like the string is better. I always opt for straight over level. Laser your string setup points, then if there's any variation it's gradual to a string and not abrupt like a laser set up 5mm+/- out.
I theory I understand the treated vs non treated flooring in a finished house…but isn’t the entire thing subject to the elements for a while until the walls & roof go up?
Because the wall needs to be supported on the ends of the joists, not on a big lump of wood tacked to the end of the joists. I don't see the point of the blocks here.
When they setout the frame, they had to leave 400mm clearance under the floor, this is to allow sufficient ventilation of the sub floor, allowing the insulation to dry out.
With the title I thought I was gonna see the water level trick demoed. Wev used that a few times esp when you can see round corners. I couldn't believe how easy it was accurate to about 1mm
Such good vibes on that site. No wankers or hero’s. Everyone’s there to build a good quality home. Love it. 👌🏻
That's because there are no electricians on site yet 😂😂
Rare
That's how it's meant to be. The crowd I work for is like that. But there's no shortage of cowboys and fuckwits out there
Depends on the "wankers". If you mean lazy buggers or one who love to banter while they do their job.
It’s sad that it’s unusual

I like this new tech of 'square', 'flat', 'plumb', and 'level. I wish these ideas were around in the 70's when my house was built.

full stops are overrated 😂
Punctuation is not the enemy.
You can see the stagger when he stands on it pointing out the slight colour differences between treatment levels and in the shot were the pipes are
Dang. 15mm out of square and I was fully expecting you to say "Yep, that's good enough!" but you went further. Respect!
Love the tracks you use Scott.... Shazamed soooo many👍
I love it, building on piles then leveling the floor to the half millimeter.
With a stringline for horizontals.
WorkSafe getting all sweaty seeing that skateboard on site
And the sledge hammer….😂
Acc too lol 😅
After clocking off it's no longer a site :P
I’m seeing this, used to seeing videos from the U.S., and amazed at all the safety gear present. (Americans are nutty.)
So happy you skated it at the end 😊
How much fun is that Scott, it's looks like fun. Love the video, can't wait to see the framing go up.
String will have some sag. Would have been prudent to laser check the centre too and compensate for it if appreciable
Yep, string is for straight not for level.
Love to see the South African contribution ❤👍
1:42 I've leant a new way to do floor joists, thank you @scott Brown Carpentry

Nice moves on the skateboard 👍👍🛹🛹
😂😂😂 really?
So good to see you on a build SBC!! It does look cold and sunny equals a beautiful environment!☀️shouldn’t you be in Paris for Skateboarding finale!!🏄😎
Taking a pause after 5 hrs driving, perfect timing!
Oh that’s just a stones throw from my old neighbourhood. Yep those Nelson winters are something eh. Crispy fresh
Such a good crew vibe!
I should have become a chippy! Or some trade... shorts, winter, camaraderie, views.... great times!
Funny how what you call whacking, is called "persuading" here in France (word for word). We have a huge wooden mallet for that.
I guess persuasion is just about finding the right argument, huh?
Good video, thank you.
My old boss used to call the Sledgehammer the persuader
In some English dialects, the huge wooden mallet is called a 'Commander'.
When in doubt, give it a clout
5:11 to 5:24 is editing and pacing masterclass
G,day Scott Brown Carpentry from Sydney Australia.

Then use metal self drilling screws for floor sheets as specified in the manufacturer technical and installation brochure.
🌏🇦🇺
What's the price comparison to LVL? Easier to work with also I bet.
Then you have to buzz the bearers to get everything square, plus how exactly do you square it up at the end - unscrew and move the purlin? Timber is renewable, not sure exactly what problem steel purlins are solving.
@@Erelyes Straight and level.

I suspect NZ has its fair share of shitty builders too. Good ones like these do seem really hard to find in Australia though.
its best practice to use stainless in treated wood, so you may as well just use it for everything.
GOOD JOB SCOTT!!!
No glue on the subfloor?
Classic Scott Brown. I loved this video!!
What will guys do underneath side of the floor to keep critters, drafts, and moisture away?
And eventual sag and dropping of the insul.
Nicely done. Thanks for the latest exciting episode.👍👍
Wondering if you put an air barrier on the underside of the floor. We don’t build like this in Canada but I really love seeing how things are done from all over. Super interesting!
Swap out those clips for carabiners, easy to swap out when work. Climbing ones
been laying chipboard floor all week and now i watch you do the same! thanks for uploading scott
I'm grateful for the reminder that you don't need to laser absolutely everything! Social media should take note. 😉
Great vibes in this video Scott! Reminds me of the OG vids
Good work Scott
Keep up the good work.
A builder from Vancouver Canada
Love your videos Scott! I was a framing contractor for years so I'm very surprised someone would use a track saw to cut subflooring. What is your reasoning on that?
Thank you
Looked like those boats were dancing and bobbing to the groovy jazz music. 🎵 ⛵
I wear rugby shorts all year round. So long as I've got warm feet - good woollen socks - my legs don't get cold. Or, maybe my knees don't have any temp sensors. 🤷♂🤔
14:30 in my youth I used to frame houses as a summer job. All nails and on knees to secure the flooring. You guys have it too easy.
A great job Guys love the video thanks for posting
Question. If a wet area is tanked and tiled, that floods from a sink for example, then the waters exit point would be out the door into the adjacent room or hallway. Are those areas included with treated strand floor? Thank you
Rarely comment but love this mini series Scott. Enjoy the home Reno a lot but this is next level SBC ❤
Full marks for the olly... theres ife in them old knees yet!
Q : is that chipboard flooring okay in the rain and the damp over night etc? what happens over the rest of the build?
Did you need to use a different type of screw for the treated boards?
Well done, lucky you didn't skate off the end of the floor LOL. cant wait to see the finished house.
well done on the weather for the day
thats how i do a floor with stringing the joists as they arent always the same measurement in height, i noticed when watching yt vids on the yanks in america, they dont give a f, an just nail the joists straight to the bearer. good to see u doing it the right way
Oh please. I'm a once upon a time "yank" framer and our crew built excellent houses.
They don't use garbage NZ radiata with up to 9 or 10 mm gauging differences.
I love decking 💯
Hey Scott I saw a cheeky ollie down the gap at the end of the video. Maybe a video on building a half pipe is in order? nothing under 6ft of course 🙏🤙
In regards to laying the flooring, it was standard to use just nails, aka squeaky floors later in life. Now we use screws.. Do we use "glue and screw" as seen on some Canadian "Make It Right Shows" for builds here in New Zealand?
Yes
Is there an easy trick to project that pipe onto the sheet at 14:38 so precisely?
Nicely done 👊🏻😎🙏
I like that drill screwgun adapter
Scott, that board was as crooked as a US politician. Great Job thanks for the content and for Sharing.
I wonder if the price difference between the treated and untreated boards is worth the time taken to verify and sort them? Presumably! (Currently building a deck, so same logic applies - good timing!)

are the floor sheeting joints waterproof to stop the insulation getting wet before the roof goes on?
What about the sag of the string line?
It is not really a sag. It just shows the curvature of the earth...
What about all the other sections of the joist? You're only running string line at certain points of the joists? i.e the middle section or a bit further in could be wrong
Yes. I think a laser in the middle would have been better.
Do you not use sub-floor adhesive under the sheeting? Seems like you'd get a lot of floor squeaks even with the screws you used.
They did glue it. A very brief shot of them doing it in the time lapse.
@@dezstepz2427 i must have missed that part. Thanks for letting me know
ua-cam.com/video/lU3RSvSa7Kg/v-deo.html she's laying a bead of glue here.
Don't like to be a kiss a** but that's some fine work and a great site atmosphere 👍 Just wondering though, you building the external walls of the floor sheet? Cheers from the UK
What was the saw you were using at 10:14 to do that reverse angle cut
That's a Makita circular saw.
What went under the insulation to keep it up between the joists?
Nice Ollie brah!
How cime you dont glue the floor?
Do you guys put sikaflex before putting the boards down?
Everyone in shorts and T, you sure it's winter? Good effort guys
Great ollie!
are you using SS screws for the floors or not? If not SS screws, I guess the screws will be rotted if it rains during the construction?
String line is probably the most underrated tool.
I was wondering if Scott & Jess are enjoying their weekends more, now that Scott is working off site during the week & Jess can do her own thing?
@scottbrowncarpentry - not sure i got it -> how did you make it square AND keep the measurements if you just cut off the rafters?
@@mikeinmaryland I guess that would work only if the sizing was bigger than final dimensions to begin with..
You establish square and parallel points on your joist system, then snap a line between your corners and cut them off in place. Larry Haun did it in his videos with the rafter tails
If you can guarantee your end joists are parallel, it's quite simple. Just mark two reference points on one end that are your final dimension along that joist. Then guestimate two similar points on the far joist. Then you just need to move those second two points until the diagonal lengths between opposite corners are the same. Then you can just snap a line across the joists to each corner and cut off the ends.
Wouldn’t the joists then be not perpendicular to the perimeter?
Correct but by a relatively small margin assuming you also squared up during previous stages. It's the outside that really matters
Hey bro, is pressure testing common in NZ?
I noticed Joe's Vivo Barefoots. Respect
10:50 the C10FSH Japanese made Hitachi miter saw…Frank approved 😎
I honestly feel like the string is better. I always opt for straight over level. Laser your string setup points, then if there's any variation it's gradual to a string and not abrupt like a laser set up 5mm+/- out.
Well with a floor "level" is pretty important.
I theory I understand the treated vs non treated flooring in a finished house…but isn’t the entire thing subject to the elements for a while until the walls & roof go up?
6:24 Why not just chuck on 2 rim joists rather than blocking and a single rim joist?
Because the wall needs to be supported on the ends of the joists, not on a big lump of wood tacked to the end of the joists. I don't see the point of the blocks here.
I’ve often wondered what all those skid marks were on the floors of my new house! Not to mention the pools of blood sweat and tears.
How are you going to seal the underside of that floor? Thank you and have a great week.
It doesn’t get sealed.
@@drjanitor3747 Why not?

@@alanwood82 Thank you.
How do your friends like that Hikoki 262mm mitre saw?
What you can do with a few extra workers 33:00 mark for some flooring.

Do you glue the flooring ?

Two questions. Where is Jess?and how do I build a website easily?
*Dwangs not nogs - you're in the South Island now!
Although when it's in the floor I just call it blocking.
It's blocking. It's a floor.
What vest is that Scott?
I want to know too - warm and hard wearing. Doesnt look like the Swanndri Foxton
You create so many square spaces that to us SBC junkies you are advertising even when you aren't
At 6:50 I constructed that protective netting structure
Wouldn't plywood be better for flooring?
Scott love your videos. Where do I get that red shirt?
Should try a diamondback rig for a replacement
no glue in newzealand?
They were glueing it. just hard to see in the time lapse
13:30
The sticker on the strand floor will say h3.1 on the green sheets
I really like seeing Scott on a new build, the home renovation kind off brings back horrible memories of past times
I'm surprised you don't use glue on the subfloor to prevent squeaks?
