let's go brian here today's exciting episode well today's exciting episode
we are preparing for a inspection a framing inspection that is the main
thing we're doing over the next couple days and it involves more things than you would think
and it involves cutting half the cladding off the side of the house so we can do the framing
so this is for one of the new windows that just arrived
and the thing that we've been having to put on all the framing
shows just how extensive it can be
yeah well you know i'm here to impress so what we're doing here pretty much is rebuilding every
bedroom and part of that is changing the entrance to every bedroom this is the new entrance here
and this here is the old entrance and we're going to make the new entrance to this bedroom here
look at all the marks from the tie burn hammer waffle head everywhere so because we're taking
all the sucking off the walls we have thinner framing this framing is around about 75 mil
that's why you have this little step here when we get to doing the interior side of everything
we'll be packing a lot of framing
we are doing a lot of framing and putting metal fixings everywhere
and finishing studs but we're also getting ready for this weatherboards
we started doing that yesterday and we hit a bit of a roadblock so that's it right there
sure enough it's asbestos we got it tested so now we're going to cover the plastic and get
the removal guys to to do the rest i've got a guy who's going to come have a look at it
he's a friend of my friend so hopefully he's going to make an exception it's such a small amount
usually just as bigger jobs because of a setup involved but uh we'll see stay tuned for that
entirely different news uh he was a bit camera shy but the guy from makita was here and he's dropped
off something new the makita xgt drill oh my god and a battery as well a 40 volt battery this is
a new makita 40 volt system you guys know that i use makita and i have done for years
so it's cool that we have this relationship where they get this new thing and they let me uh
let me have it so we can try it out on the channel oh it even comes with a box nice
whoa these are bulky
oh my god these batteries are massive
look at the size of the battery is the regular battery definitely chunkier look at that i've
always bought those sustainer boxes separately and uh sort of made it work for my tools but it's
cool to see them actually using them on the new tools case and everything yeah it's good to look
at the case just a drill impact as well uh just a drill and some batteries that's got a two and
a half amp battery in it and this is the massive four amp 40 volt see how much bigger it is oh
yeah so they've given that one because he said it can be a bit cumbersome with this one yeah right
bro this is glorious man look at it it's the 40 volt the chunk on that battery boom
now we have to take a brace off here and a brace off there because this is a new post so
now we're adding new bracing on and this bracing is going to be a bit better than this stuff here
that's what was there before
there we go i didn't have a pilot hole that went all the way through the full length of the
bit so that m12 bolt was just going through hard timber
there we go brand new timber joinery with plywood in instead of glass we don't want to smash the
glass made to match the existing there's existing there see the little detail there
we're getting the window ready temporarily just so we can fit in there and fill the hole basically
and then the same goes for the top still haven't sorted out this asbestos that could be a hold up
all right
past wall frame and sub floor frame inspection floor posts all that kind of stuff and wall frames
beams all pass but interestingly enough about two minutes into the inspection the inspector said
i've got to admit something i've actually seen all of this on youtube already he watched the videos
and he's seen how the beams all went together and yeah just as well we did it writer so yeah he
passed inspection and it was actually interesting talking to him because he's from canada and we
talked for quite a while about the differences here versus canada and and he was an inspector
there as well so we saw it from that perspective over there and now we seeing it over here so
we can get on with the clouding now so like some of the differences uh we call these nogs
we call these nogs the horizontal and he said in canada they call them blocking and he also said
here there's like twice the amount of inspections that you would have in canada for a regular house
and he said there's a lot more emphasis here on making everything tight from the outside like
weather sealing it tight because we've got a lot more moisture you know they've got a lot
harsher winters in canada but they're quite dry whereas here it's you know there's rain all the
time it's it can be quite humid so there's far more focus on flashings and things like that
so yeah those are the differences but um those are the ones that come to mind
i'm happy we can carry on with the clouding
so that's all well and good the inspection passed
we have one problem still and that's the asbestos that we found out here this week
and we've got it covered up so we're not touching it but we've got an asbestos guy that's going to
come and see how we can remove it and how quickly more importantly he can remove it
because obviously we do it safe but it's also holding up the job
but we do want the specialist to um you know do it correctly and quickly at the same time
let's check something people the moisture content
it's been a couple of weeks now since we did this frame we're at 28 percent hey it's butter we're
live oh 28 that's where we were at before oh well well what about that said it's 16.6 which is great
eighteen percent is the cut off i said seventeen in the last video when i talked about this but uh
yeah it's eighteen so we're at 16. let's try it out yeah it's always
the bottom player there is real hot pants these this frame got put in more recently
still under 18. 17.2
19.5 it's always the bottom plate that holds the moisture more
the reason i'm talking about this is because we're going to the outside now which
