    Loving the guy with the chainsaw trimming the ends off, with his mate underneath holding onto the offcut while he's cutting and with no edge protection. I can see how you get these things built so quickly now. Hope your employees appreciate your commitment to health and safety in the workplace.

      I wouldn't consider what he's doing to be anymore dangerous than just simply working in the trade itself. A good worker knows how to support the offcut material without binding the cutters blade.

      @@johncoppock3823 wax face of osb is more water resistant then ply over time, but the cut edge of osb swells up as soon as it gets wet, so for a roof that might be exposed for a week or two max ply is probably better, especially for any roof that isnt felt, where you want a totally flat surface

    I thought there always some kind of steel beam need to be used for building regulations. Quite surprised by how two initial wooden posts took all that weight.

      Hi, there is a steel ridge beam as designed by structural engineer. Head beam above dormer windows is supported by 3x double posts during construction.

    Looks like you went above existing roof height(ok if client knows) and missed cross ventilation between flat roof rafters ( long term issue ,,condensation’’ ) but video nice cut

    • @resmond

      Can't x-ventilate when they're tight to the dormer next door, usually would use mushrooms, but that's probably why they've sat on the ridge

    For all the people bitching about the chain saw don’t knock it until you tried it . The idea of reaching over with a skillsaw works but sucks. The ability to stand up and reach with a chain saw is way better and probably safer.

    I’m thinking they Should have raised the ceiling joist and then nailed the untreated sleepers on the bottom of the joist instead of the top. Any moisture or sweating will happen between the plywood and the joist at the top that way they treated part would be the only part wet .The plywood decking dose look superior in Quality nice job .
