Scott grant here today's today's episode didn't really go to plan I was gonna not upload it but
I thought why not so here it is Scott Brown here welcome to another exciting this door and this
door so we can have more room in this twilit so the client does plan on redoing this whole
bathroom but for now it's just the basic entry way into the bathroom once this door is here
so the first step when doing any reframing of the house is to check that the frame that
you're altering isn't supporting anything now I've already done this with the plans for the
actual house and according to them it's not a load-bearing wall at all so we can go ahead but
if I know anything from renovating New Zealand homes for over a decade now it's that the plans
and the actual house often are different it always pays to check all right let's go
well the good news is the good news is all the joists ruining on this wall that we're
not touching and they go over their walls so as per plan which means we can do the
alterations okay I got ahead of myself it's not as good as I thought look at
this [ __ ] so that's a choice that supports the floor there and it's been completely cut
out well half of it half of its been cut out to accommodate the shower mixer so there's a
lot of strength cut right out and then as you look at my phone here they've cut to
160 ml Piper 190 ml pipe I believe in the middle of the same joist I just check the
ceiling with a straight edge and it's um it's dipping exactly where they put those holes
I am glad I started the day by chicking the sealing earth so if I hadn't done that I could
have quite easily just taken this wall down not knowing that the plumbing had compromised
the structure so I think the best course of action is to patch up the hole that I've made
temporarily so it can be unscrewed and then talk to the owner about the situation when
you start dealing with structural components of a building you really meant to do it through the
council I'm a licensed builder so I risk a lot by just doing that you know just taking into my
own hands and also I film everything I do so I'll talk to the owner and we'll see what happens next
I'm asked to get a credit on the materials so that's fine the clients gonna keep the
doors so it's just a bummer sort of a day loss you know it's a joy of
running a building business what do you reckon that's rubbing there and we get
there this post is doing two jobs by the looks of it it's sort of for the gate it's
also their only support on this line of the fence no post over there what would you do
there we go a temporary get repaired
