scott brown here this special exciting episode we are going to turn this
three bedroom house into a four bedroom house this is a start to finish video enjoy
let's do a bit of a tour that's where you walk in and this is the living room bedroom bedroom
and the rest of the house we're not touching the rest of the house so that doesn't concern
us where a lot of the work is happening is in this bedroom here that fireplace is going disappearing
this is going out about a metre and a half in line with that external wall out there
we're basically squeezing a fourth bedroom between these two bedrooms we're gaining
this extra bit of floor area here and then we're squeezing this bedroom in the middle
oh
so
there's a lot more timber behind this plasterboard than we thought it's partly bracing so we have to
leave it on at least one side the demo out here was a little selective now we're gonna
look at the floor we've got to turn what is a deck into an internal floor
sweet
rock rock and more rock sometimes it pays to sort of look at the plans and
see where all that fits in because it just feels like you're sticking holes for nothing
so if you look at these planes here you can see these different points are the points that
the weight is coming down to essentially and that's the point of the post
so
oh
everything we're trying to do here is uh we're trying to do
as much of the framing as we can so when we start taking things away
there's some structure there to hold things that chimney for example we've got to take a lot of
the structure out of there out so we want to put our new wall in here to keep the house together
um so
oh
we're about to make one big leap toward getting this thing
maze free and here is a part of the beam that will help us do that
so we're doing this beam in pieces we're bringing them up in sections
all in a day's work hey rich looks good you can see why we wanted to put some good posts
on the ground oh yeah all that weight going from there down to one post and all that
weight is going down through that lentil to two posts and then we do it all over again up here
ready
so
oh
so now that the cylinder batten is in place
we'll chuck the window in and we'll leave it in there until the inspection
so these weather boards were the existing weatherboards the guys sanded
all these weatherboards and created weather grooves both front and back
to match the sort of modern standards and managed to reuse them
these are some of the tricky parts look at this
boom
oh yeah
so
thank you
scott brown here we are doing a flooring transplant
we're moving native timber flooring from one room to another
do
say goodbye to the fireplace five fireplace
we're doing powder oh let's get a little bit of ceiling
the ceiling work potter's been now putting the panels in the ceiling
so
oh it smells strong
so
oh
well there you go renovation complete so here's the room that i first walked into and i'll
reclaim flooring the fireplace was right here now the ceiling would make you think that the
fireplace was never there we've still got wardrobes to put in and everything
and they're getting made currently so as soon as they're done
oh man this is cool there we go there's the last remnant of the fireplace that was one
section of it and these are the original doors i don't want to touch them in case they've been
painted and here is the new living room opening used to just be a little door in the corner
and we chucked a beam in there and opened that thing right up and all the windows are new double
glazed sashes i think they've just been painted as well so that's why they're just slightly open
so yeah a bit of paint but a touch up on the outside that garage door is going to arrive in
a couple of weeks so i'll come back and do it like a final sign-off when that happens
and then the renovation is done and guess what the new renovation starts tomorrow oh and and
