oh hi there scott brown here in today's exciting episode we uh
clear the house out floor sanding time
it's all happening here today we have tiling plastering
and plumbing and we're doing this plywood ceiling and it's tongue and groove or tongue
groove looking it's just plywood with v-grooves in it and it's a little bit more work than
plasterboard so the reason uh the plywood takes a bit longer than the plasterboard
is it is around about the same thickness but you have to have solid fixing wherever you're
joining plasterboard tends to bridge the gap a bit better nine more plywood can be quite
wavy if you don't support it properly we've added extra fixings everywhere and put a lot of pins in
now this little detail here where the
top of the ceiling meets the wall we didn't want to put a timber molding that would um
stick out beyond the wall and beyond the ceiling line we wanted to keep that line clean originally
we were going to put plasterboard under that ceiling so it would have been easy slim alone
stop the corner easy but because we're going to plywood now we've come up with something else
so this here we put a big wide board there big wide six by two that we had to patch and get on
the correct angle so the issue we were having is that a jib board can't just finish on the
edge like that you need to cover it with something because the edge is kind of a raw breakable edge
so we had to finish it somehow and the ceiling is raking so we couldn't finish it with a square
piece so we move the square piece underneath to here and that square bit will go in there
and then we'll put a slim line out here to clean the corner out and then plaster over
all of it what you're left with is a nice smooth transition from the wall to the ceiling without
anything sticking out beyond the wall or beyond the ceiling good job sade good job thank you
oh
yep
already all ready for the floor sander a lot of work went into this as you well know oh
we've still got a little bit more work to do in here pardo is uh
patching up this floor there was a patch job there prior and it wasn't done very well so we're doing
a good job of that and um yeah there's little bits and pieces up there that we can get there's
an architrave through there the bathroom to finish the shower is actually hooked up uh the plastering
is mostly done he's gonna come back after the floor sander today it's all about the floor sander
okay well i can't pretend that it has not been stressful over the last couple days
we only had these two days to get everything ready pretty much for the inside anyway and um
all the subcontractors pulled through i mean the plaster came in the tyler did most of the tiles
he's done everything in the bathroom and he did a heck of a lot in the kitchen laundry kitchen
a shower and we've still got the pink toilet so hey haven't got everything but then as soon as the
flooring is done the thing that we couldn't move um all those other things will lock into place the
toilet but yeah the subcontractors have really helped out worked 24 hours in the last two days
super stressed but uh i think it's all going to be worth it this place is going to look really good
speaking of uh floor sanding and floors in general you guys know how a tongue and groove
usually works you have the tongue like that and you have the groove like that they slot in there
so when you stand on it even if there isn't a joist there it won't go down
enough when you're putting floorboards inside the middle of a floor you can't quite do that
when you have to insert flooring into a floor that's already done you can't do it you can't
use both the tongue and the groove so we do this we put solid treated plywood underneath
and these are temporary they pull the ply hard up to the floor
and this is it from underneath
solidus
wow
raise and fill the rest of it yeah where we can where we need to sure hey buddy
thank you
