let's go brown hair and here I am in my gigantic future kitchen and
living room and in this exciting episode I'm hoping we pass a framing inspection
because that's what we need before we move on to the next stage [Music]
which work has gone into this room if you look back it all started with our Architects visiting
and giving us plans and showing us how this room could be we then settled on a design that we were
really happy with and then we got a building consent based on those designs that we knocked
out that little room that was on the corner and we put up a gigantic beam we knocked out the window
that was in that little room turned it into a door then Ray and I removed the old entryway
and then we reclaimed that entry and made it part of the house oh yeah and we moved this gigantic
window slightly so my door didn't open into it but despite all of that work we are still not ready
for our framing inspection and it's really just two main things that we need to do in this room
we need to frame up this floor and we need to build the wall that goes between the old kitchen
and the new kitchen and then we'll be ready for the framing inspection check out this disco ball
one issue I often have with filming is lighting
you know working on a building site it's it's just the light you've got not the light you want
okay so one idea we originally had was to just fill this up with concrete and then try and put
the timber floorboards over it but I don't like the idea of Timber floorboards hard onto concrete
more difficult to fix down and you'd probably end up gluing it down and then the glue has to
be elasticated so the timber can still move it's a whole thing and the floor that is already here
is framed up on top of concrete which is what we're going to do here we're going to carry on
what's already here we go [Music] this is five mil difference between dead point and this point
this being higher so we level across here but that is lower yeah I think it'll look stranger
If this just corrected in this one corner I think we continue that that plane through the [Music]
so next up on the list is putting some polythene down we want to try and separate the moisture
that's inherently in the concrete from the timber we don't want that Timber absorbing moisture oh
[Music]
so I'm sure Scott Brown carpentry fashion I'm going to go overboard here the polythene is
very very thin and we're going to bolt and screw and nail down to her and there's going
to be some movement so I don't want it to tear underneath the Timber and expose it
to the moisture here I am go overboard I'm adding another DPC layer foreign [Music]
look at that snaps the socket holder clean in half
cut it clean I didn't even feel it snapped the um snap the drill bit but also insane how hard
that concrete is the green boards that were put down are effectively our bearers now we put Joyce
thank you
when you draw a line like a cut line and you put a feather on it yeah then you cut on the
other side of the line what do I do I see the feather as a hey this is the line yeah
rather than this side of the line yeah what I do is like I need the lines over here but also
cut on that side so so uh okay so if I wanted a bit shorter than this line I'd say like that if
this was the case yeah I've got the same question that Raymond just asked me when you're marking a
pencil line what do you do see what I do as I do my measurement and then I get my mark
say that's the mark then I just go like that always to the right the arrow is like hey this
is the mark sometimes I'll even put a circle around it for Raymond that arrow means cut on
this side of the line and when I think about it I guess that's what it means for me as well when I
Mark like this my blade goes on that side of the line [Applause] anyway I'm curious what do you do
back back and forth anyway sorry back back and forth and fourth
back and forth here look at the jigsaw puzzles that we're [Music]
okay time has passed and we have been going back back and forth and forth checking in each joist to
make it work and the last step of that checking in is to cast the laser over and get a nice straight
line on the top of the joist so with the laser set up there we can reference our floor over here
812 and then add the thickness of the flooring so my Mark goes down 8 30 and then that's the
top at this end and the other end we are taking a lot less off so we're not using the laser for
the sand we're just making it line up with the board that we sit before and then rip
the timber Raider Ripper Ray the Ripper sounds like a horror movie [Music] all right [Music]
how's it looking there bro nailer up
[Music]
I've kind of been procrastinating with some of the jobs that we're doing here
including this jobs that Ray and I are about to do this morning basically the
top plate is part of the bracing system and currently our top plate sticks out
from the wall so we basically have to shave the beam so today's the day we would get this
annoying job out of the way and also gives me an excuse for Rey to bring his router in
check it out always wanted to try these um these Festival routers I've heard the
dust extraction is really good uh yeah it's okay um there is a bit where if you're doing
edges yeah there's a shroud that sort of goes the cups oh yeah on the bottom
[Music]
foreign [Music] so my other router has two handles like this you have to hold it with
two hands and then when you try and do it with one hand you kind of out of balance
but this I like it it's cool [Music]
I think I have too many plants
[Music] another day another dust wall let's build a new wall [Music]
another piece of beautiful rainbow or is it [Music]
10 years ago that's nice so this isn't the wall that separates the two rooms the new wall
is slightly off this wall here in line with that block
all right
so every wall every wall has to be nice and level and Plum and everything obviously
but this wall in particular is going to have the kitchen built up against it
we are both parallel from that wall and Square from there and Square from there now let's see
how long it takes to build a wall we're going to go speed framing speed framing yeah [Music]
and we're started [Music]
what's that say 24 minutes
24 minutes for the studs and top plates let's see how long the knobs take [Music]
use the LVL for the studs
the pink stuff for uh everything else
last long
[Music] stop the clock just under 35 minutes what do you reckon average or not bad not bad
fear of innovation I'd say what do you think well I just don't want people to start hassling
their Builders like hey you know it's just you should have done that in 35 minutes 135. [Music]
[Music]
pregnant one pregnant yeah it's a lady before you do with it put it in the carport yeah
put it on the beautifully built Timber storage rack
there
