scott brown here today's exciting episode is brought to you by skillshare now i have done a few
sponsored videos with skillshare and i've talked about some courses that i've enjoyed but this
time jess has asked if she could do a couple of courses that will help her with some design stuff
that she's been working on hi jess hi scott brown here oh jess bell here anyhow the course that i've
been doing is called leveling up your art game the elements and principles of design by dylan
metzvinsky so i've been teaching myself some technical design skills like for example i
redid the business logo and i've been designing some merch and i'm working on a few other things
but what i'm learning about is like the core principles of design so i've always been able
to look at something and say like i like it or i don't like it but i have never been able to
understand why and so now i can look at something and say i like the use of shape or i like the use
of color and then hopefully i can integrate that into my own work i found the course really helpful
and hopefully it helps with the future design work i'm doing so thanks dylan and thanks skillshare
and thank you thank you so the first 1000 people to click the link below in the description will
get a free trial of the skillshare premium membership and then after that it's around
ten dollars a month so how are you going to transition that into the next exciting episode
well now the camera it's usually a lot of timber right here we've got a little bit here
so my van is a 2006 toyota hiace and it's getting old it's getting pretty old
pretty much every time i take it for a warrant of fitness like i have to do this morning
i get given like a list of things that i have to fix on the van
might be new tires it might be it's just just a whole bunch of things so today we're going
to pull down a ceiling again and we've got a ceiling steer ladder thingy to put up to get
access into the attic but uh first i have to drop this off for the mechanics all right wish me luck
just moving past the tree so we've jibbed this ceiling well most of it
and uh we just got to do this ceiling this is almost the last of this old style pin board
thankfully above the main area of the kitchen is regular plasterboard we can minimize how much we
affect the kitchen fantastic and there's also this laundry so we'll rip that down
tidy up the framing and uh frame a new opening for this attic staircase
that's a very ominous sound let's get covered in dust shall we
me
rat remover
covered in sweat and dust we're well and truly into autumn now and um it's 23 degrees yeah 23
degrees and a humid auckland that is hot but look at this taken most of the nails out we
vacuumed all the framing it's actually looking very straight and this one's on its way as well
we've got a bit more framing to do here for that uh the stairway all right all the nails out
should we see how straight this is this here seems to be the low point it's sagging in the middle
so we're going to disconnect
could go up a bit more
how's it looking
so i think we're just gonna have to be close enough with the ceiling it still has a little
bit of a sag in the middle but compared to what it was and with the new sheets on it should be good
so we just need to add those extra screws to make that uh ceiling more able to carry the new weight
of the new ceiling now there's a bit more going on with this ceiling here
a lot less framing that's intact and we need to re-frame this opening
so
new wiper blades that's it brand new wiper blades and we have a
warrant the cucumber sandwich lives another day
that's the time of day on today's venue we have
vegemite and cheese sandwich on a sourdough bread delicious
nice healthy straight out of the dog
you think you're gonna give him some of your um some of your veggies
it's gonna be carnival fair the vegan cat all right change of plans nate the electrician will be
here tomorrow afternoon to move some cables around for us we don't want it over here against the wall
because there's going to be cabinet there we want it in the middle of the room
so the stairs fold down between two cabinets so let's put some jib through here
that's uh awfully technical work you got there potter technical main spot wow
so that line there in the center is like a reference line and the way the reference line
works is we make sure it's square off something so in this case we went square off this sheet edge
and we put the roofing screw on there and we drew this faint
pencil line there and then from that pencil line we measured to all the points so that's how you
end up with this crazy looking map here that line going through the middle is the reference line
and then all these measurements are taken off it from there to there from there to there from there
to over there and the reason we do that is because everything other than this sheet edge is crooked
this wall isn't straight our line over there isn't dead parallel with this sheet and this ceiling
cutout is in a different position that's come in really handy when we're doing the plywood walls
a couple years back because the plywood had no nowhere to hide essentially we were never going to
fill anything the edge of the plier was what you were going to see so in the case of the plywood
we drew a plumb line and a level line and then we took all our measurements off that now obviously
with plasterboard it's not as crucial you can get away with a bit more you don't have to be as exact
but in this case we're trying to avoid unnecessary joins last thing we want is a crack to form from
that post and it'll be very obvious so we'll do our best to check around the post and make
our joints a little bit further away from them how are your confidence levels paddo
yeah first time every time let's just say sixty percent of the time it works every time ah okay
that's good news fill it up man let's miss do a test for that oh do you want me to go down
all right i'll glue it here half a second yeah yeah no worries there you go bro oh
great work yeah i know so fast yeah no problem that
i think i'm fitting what about you yeah foots so look there's a line you can see the line up there
yeah there's the line there and then there's the line there
and it fits you doubt it for a second though did your father hurry up and do this around
the last one see you mate it's nice hanging out today peace out
