our quest to have this place closed and by christmas just took a very positive
step forward scott brown here so this is the roof and roof flashings we're gonna have a
roof on by christmas at least but there's a few jobs we have to do before we put that roof on
before we do the roof we need a wrap inspection and we need that inspection to pass because
the cladding is what's going to take up most of our time the roof is going to go up pretty quick
so we have to get the paper up
is that like peter pan kind of cutting this yeah maybe he cuts open then he stands in the
oh [ __ ] all right so this here is a rebated section of the floor frame
here the reason we rebated this is so our window could end up sitting flush
with the floor when it's all said and done because it's timber joinery with timber you have to go
thicker to get some strength whereas aluminium you can have a thinner profile so it ended up taking
a lot more of the floor frame out so we've added all this floor framing underneath to beef it up
so now we paper over it seal it and um yeah we'll get the result we want
another part of the wrap that will be inspected is the window sills and uh what we do is we put this
tape here so this is like a sort of uh flexible ultra sticky tape that goes on the windowsill
and the orange things the orange plastic pieces there they are to give the tape a hard backing in
that bottom corner so the tape doesn't end up splitting so the top corner we only do
a small piece on the corner there not as prone as the um as the sillas to leaks
the flashing tape is like a last resort so if your window fails it gets in and hits the sill
track and then if the sill tray fails it gets in and hits this flashing tape and if this somehow
fails then it hits the building paper and if the building paper fails then your your timber
is treated for moisture it's pretty safe i think oh tell you what that sun just completely melted
that flashing tape now it's so hard to work with i think it's important thing to point out is just
how hot the new zealand sun is our temperatures are pretty mild like if i told you it was
22 degrees celsius today it's not that hot right it doesn't sound that hot
but new zealand has a different kind of sun i think it's because we don't have we have a
hole in our ozone layer our sun's more intense than elsewhere and something that even kiwis
forget like when i was overseas i came back for a wedding after being in the uk and i'd gone to
hot places i'd been to like spain and all these really warm places with 43 degree temperatures
but i was here for like 10 minutes in the backyard at my um girlfriend's parents place sunburn
straight away the sun's just crazy hot and and you forget how hot it is it's this time of year where
it really really kicks in so good thing we got one of these sun shades and one of these cool hats
so i bought this um i bought this it's not an ad i actually purchased this myself makita coffee
machine recently and we haven't been able to figure it out basically i got espresso coffee
that just seems to clog it up and let's put this here espresso coffee just seems to clog it up so
i've got plunger coffee now and you might have this machine and you might have already used
it and you might be thinking plunger coffee scott you're an idiot well i'd love to hear
how you actually use this because we haven't been able to figure it out yet yeah give it a go
give it a go the espresso was too powdery and it kind of blocked the pathway from the water to the
coffee cup and i'll do what we did with that one and not fill it right to the top
see what happens i think it does just the coffee baby so the lights off
the big reveal there's no spillage well maybe half full oh yeah so that tells me we've got a
um oh bro that's full could have put more water in a little bit water so the reason i put that on the
grass is because it leaked everywhere when we did it with the espresso stuff so the plunger stuff
very uh watered down coffee there is that yeah that's watery though it's pretty watery yeah
i'm not complaining bro so that's all good maybe not maybe not at the scott
standard but that's fine it's almost like tea all right we need to try something else
so
the manufacturer manufacturer said to um
separate the sheets so they have a chance to air out and dry out because they're all color coated
and that's the same to do with the color code either way follow the order zopado yeah that's
right
because we don't have the scaffold we come out with new exciting ways to do this safely
so here's where the fascia board goes here nice uh
roof slash hand round i think there's pardo doing the prep work down there
so
we spent all that time getting the framing right and that helped the fascia we pretty
much snailed them straight to the framing get the frame right and everything follows
first and foremost this morning we're going to put a scaffold up
well i'd say we it's the scaffold guys that are doing it not not me not me
but first we're going to pull the window out it's easy to pull it out without a scaffold there
a bladder yeah yeah youtube
so it's not only the scaffold that needs to be done there's a few other things to close the
building in that's the goal so once the scaffold's up we can put the roof there we've done all the
wrap and any minute now the inspector is going to turn up to approve that wrap and once he's
done that we can put the weatherboards on and the window guy was here yesterday and as well as the
sill tray he dropped off this a little a little sample of the sill and i gave him some flooring
that he's going to glue to the window and we'll talk a bit more about that when the window arrives
but the combination of being able to get the cladding on getting the roof on
and the window arriving pretty close to closing in by christmas i think feeling confident by the
way this is slightly delayed it's currently the 16th of december so if you feel like uh
i'm cutting it too fine by the time this video goes up don't worry i've got time i've got time
speak to just left pass
basically over this distance there's a 20 mil full seven and a half meters
is 20 more full and then we space these out evenly and that's what our gutter clips onto
please like and subscribe brown
please click the notification bell it's very hot bro very hot very hot okay
mate there's two things checked off inspection pass scaffold set up we just popped that gutter
on as the first step and um the owners actually painted the fascia before we put that gutter on
because now we need to put a flashing into the gutter it's a low pitch roof and this is an extra
requirement now before we go into that scorching sun i need some long sleeves all right let's go
so the roof is low pitched and therefore we need a eaves flashing at the bottom and it
could be some capillary action which is the water staying on the end of the sheet and then tracking
up underneath the sheet and that's more likely to happen with this low pitch so this flashing goes
up under and then it has a little bend so when the water tracks underneath it hits that bend
and then hits the flashing and then comes back down to the gutter
it's looking good don't zoom in on that paper you look like a real roofer
oh
would you look at that we have a roof here we go
we're gonna be close to my christmas we are gonna be closed on my christmas then you can
miss all your screws and like they're working and everything's gonna be great yeah i'm up here
that there was a nail and we had the same nail at the other end and we had a string line going all
the way through 20 mil off the end of the sheet that way we had the end of the sheets nice and
straight and then we were able to measure off the sheet to our screw line rather than chalking and
you know trying to follow a squiggly purlin yeah done a good job i think so now we just
screw it off so it doesn't get pulled off in the wind get the flashings made
and get onto some weather boards
