Excellent as always 👌 Thank you.

fab

good detailed video any more refurb videos ?

great video and well detailed , thanks

Why not screed?

Hi. Would you say foil backed plasterbourd be sufficient for the same use. I.e external inside wall?

Are you an INTP? :3

Pir is that foam board?

I have very much enjoyed your garden room series. Your detailed explanation is extremely helpful 💯 I am building a 8 metres by 6 metres garage/workshop so all your info has really helped me with making certain decisions.

Absolutely fantastic video. I’ve learnt so much in this video. I never knew that the vapour barrier goes on the warm side of the room, so you wouldn’t do, vapour onto brick then batten then pir. You would go, batten on brick first, then pir in between, then Vapor barrier. Such a brilliant video. This guy is fantastic. So classy and always happy to learn and teach and help along the way to the viewers. Thankyou for this video. Tom.

Hey, just to let you know, your website has been hacked I think? The cladding page takes me to loads of pop-ups on IOS! Fyi 😢

you should of put dpc trays belows cills

Well explained only I couldn’t see whereyou explain how you were able to span your roof joists 5m.

I’ve my bathroom sandwiched between two bedrooms on either side. Can’t do anything with the bathroom. I really want to sound proof but know that I’ll lose some space form both bedrooms. What’s the total thickness of the finished wall? Many 🙏

I wonder if you have done research on the feasibility of a Granny Annexe of the non permanent variety to avoid planning permission. Affectively the caravan rule

The BEST way to avoid condensation is having vents or open your windows a bit in the morning for couple hours to get some fresh air, and ignore all of these shenanigans with insulation and whatnot. Your only concern should be to stop the cold temperature outside getting into your house, ignore the condensation issues and just open your windows in the morning dont need too much, just a bit open to get some fresh air going. Heating bills will be up but a marginal 1% or 2% if you keep it on all day long but you wont have condensation and dont have to worry about any of these insulation vs condensation that nothing works other than fresh air.

thank you for the thorough video - going to attempt it myself now. Given the mention of expansion, would it be wise to leave a gap between the bottom of the feather boards and the gravel board for vertical expansion as well? I'm thinking using a small spacer or shim whilst installing to leave a few mm gap afterwards might be a good idea.

i have being watching all your videos while building my own, quick question is there any vents installed ?

Better using dense rockwool and soundblock plasterboard as it is WAY MORE EFFECTIVE, FACT. I've used both methods. My way is also cheaper too..... and faster.

Did you find that even with the walls proofed, that the sound carried through the floors too?

I'm a complete novice...what tool is best to easily cut the boards..brilliant video by the way very easy to follow ..thank you 😊

Why put a vapour barrier on PIR board? The aluminium foil covering the whole sheet is a vapour barrier.....

Does foam adhesive reduce air cavities behind the insulation board and thereby reduce amount of condensation/mould?

Wish i fpund this sooner spent ages reading all the regs etc and getting confused woth some of the minor points, which all wuld hae been clarified in a few mins had i wat hes this sooner! Great vid cheers

Need to know more about this 😮. Beats trying to do a 5 inch 35’x35’ slab with rebar by my lonesome right? **£Anyone know if this will work ok down on the panhandle? My home is about 15 miles north of the Pensacola area and I want to at least get a foundation started for a 35x35 wood workshop/billiards room I want to build. It’s mostly compacted sand around here, but a good amount normal grass that grows and it is not clay. One could possibly build an oversized flat concrete mold under it or is that even needed?

thanks so much Ali, great explanation, thanks for sharing

Any condensation problems a few years later?

Great video, thanks! Did you need to add any sort of vent or air admittance valve to the waste system?

Watching this for some ideas fir reroofing my modelling shed 😊

Hi could you use treated fence posts as floor joints

I have been researching on how to insulate my suspended timber floor for a while now. Each time I come across a new tutorial on youtube I learn something, but I also get confused. Now I have got so many questions! For example 1 arent the membranes (both the dm and the vl) supposed to be sealed all around the room? And where should they be sealed, exactly? On the plasterboard under the skirting board, or on the bare wall under the plasterboard itself? 2 isn't the air vent at the level of the joists making the insulation much less efficient? Cause this is exactly the same situation I have in my house, and after watching other videos I thought that the entire perimeter of the room (at leqst esternal sides) should be sealed. The air vent being in the middle of the way is clearly an impediment to this. I don't know if I am clear, but I hope someone would help me

We miss you, dude! Come back.

"Barry...BARRY...that strange man next door is hoovering his grass again!" 😆 Good video, thanks for sharing, about to tackle this myself!

Hey @AliDymock , just to say all of these vids are amazing! thanks for putting them out there and I hope you're still getting lots of joy from your garden room. Seems like the website is down though these days. Would love to see it back up, was a great resource!

The breathable membrane will rot over the years and rip. The insulation will fall down.

Great series, were the joist hangers a planning/building reg requirement or just good practice?

Excellent series of videos.

Some one said to me burr ooo no insects love PIR board and the bottom of the base should be sealed. I haven’t done this, I’ve done the same as you. Have you heard this re insects and if so did you take it into consideration?

Just bought this laminate hope it clicks in better than my first test pieces or it will be going back

If you use firring strips how do you deal with the gable ladders? They'd be fixed level with the top of the strip, which would be higher than the front fascia and wall head.

Really enjoying the videos but had to turn off for a break as I really can't tolerate the music. Not the first time that I have has to tune out of something interesting on RUclips due to the background music.

How long did it take to add the stud wall, insulation, and plasterboard?

How long did it take to remove the floorboards and add the insulation and return the floorboards afterwards?

super helpful

The petrochemical industry has really done a great job. Everyone insulates, seals, coats and bonds with plastics. Soon the wooden structure will be replaced by chipboard, OSB or MDF boards bonded with acrylic glue. There are so many natural alternatives, such as hempcrete, straw, clay, hydraulic lime, hemp seals, which do NOT release plasticizers and do not produce hazardous waste. A friend of mine put it in a nutshell: The product that is “perfect” in the seller’s mind is one that immediately becomes garbage when it goes over the counter. Compare the lifespan of plastics compared to clay and lime plasters, untreated wood, natural fibers and much more. And I'm not talking about the health benefits or sustainability. All you need is know-how and a few good friends to help you.

the best way to finish the underside of ground floor suspended timber fllor is to install cement fiber boards underneath, stack two layers staggered. That way it complies with fire safety regulations in the building code and fully envelopes the building from the weather. Of course you also have to use a vapour membrane and a weather protection membrane as well, just like in the walls.

rats don't like closely packed mineral wool, unles you buy a loose roll of mineral wool there's no way in hell a mice can nest in rockwool It's too rough and the tightly entangled, it hurts the rat and starts to peel it's skin off. If the rat dries to push it's way in all the rat will accomplish is loose it's tiny limbs and get deep lacerations. Educate yourself.

You are genius

HI Ali, great set of vids! These are really enabling my planning phase to be made to the Nth degree of detail! Question: I plan to only use 1 block on my base as I have paving slabs there already. Should I a) mortar this block in place onto the slabs b) bolt it to the slabs c) no need to bolt at all. It's for a garden office. Cheers :)

Hi Ali been watching your videos because I’m planning on doing something similar giving me inspiration mate well done. Quick question what size timber did you use and what length for the roof? Kind regards chris
