Boarding the walls | Loft Conversion Project 6.0

[Music] welcome back to Locke conversion project we're going to be boarding out the walls and ceiling [Music] so I'm making an early start today and we've done a little bit of boarding on the other side but I wanted to kind of take you through how we're doing it what I'm trying to do is get any of the bits I can do on my own done in between the time one day a week that my dad comes they can give their hand so off to the slopes and pitch ceilings are a bit of a nightmare to do on your own whereas the vertical walls have said walls at the side I can do so then get on and do what I can and we'll make a bit more progress that way if you need to sort of gone ahead and tape all of the boards up now so that this toilet is continuous and that gives us our vapor barrier if we can go ahead now and fix up our plaster walls or drywall and that's going to be possible in two ways we can do it with really long hundred mil screws getting through to the where the rafters are beyond this insulation which is what we're going to do on the straight ceilings and then when it comes to the stud walls on a couple of them we're going to batten off so you just put some Council battens on the outside of the insulation and then picks up boards to those so we can run cables through the through the little cavity before we get started on this room I'll take you over to the inside and show you all done so far so much you get almost all the ceilings on this side so a little bit of a struggle with the bigger sheets and finally the rafters with bit.trip is well good although there were some fixings only it's showing all the installations we have to tell them work out exactly where the sensors are afterwards and markets often box and then mark it out on the sheets with a pencil line just a little we're just going to keep this thing so a little bit longer in the set up but once we've mastered all about you then one up so easily so slow ideals we haven't got the risk windows in the bailiffs pronating yet that's typically because we didn't really have the time or budget set to go ahead and get them and we've left the opening there we both say left plasterboard there's been a battery silicon tremor but the only thing is exactly the right size for what we need we know exactly what unit is going in there so there's something just left it and then we can line it out afterwards and I'll carry that insulation to some nice bit insulation around it as well around the opening so it's really gloomy out floatin when throwing the lightning stop great but and just hear the Truman is looking pretty good now I boarded out both sides and the last remaining wall on this side is doing panels so we don't need to board that and we've also gone right into the ease here so we've insulated and pulled it out down there so I'm going to get back in that room and try and get certain walls boarded today and then hopefully choosing whether to this we can get the remaining ceilings done and then lips to get these valence windows fitted we've got a point now where for the doc cuts of insulation I've just been holding on to this in the hope that we would try and use up as much as possible but we're almost there and the only remaining bits to insulate these doors to the hatches so this this is the way sniffing we just have to take that mat and bag them up some of the larger pieces we may be able to use elsewhere and shapes and stuff but a lot of it just needs to back up and then get that out oh she was going together clear clear run a thing to hear that guitar because when you're in a modern property when the walls are all eight foot P point four meters in this sense into the thirds are all you know a standard you know standard sensors then you have much less wastage when all your raft is a wonky and nothing is quite straight and let's quite a bit more wastage with you but I guess just part of dealing with an older property but I hope that one day whether an extension to this house or doing a full self build that will get to experience what it's like to have things just you know flop in and the left cutting left time wasted and let's let materials just to waste and one benefit when you use in stock intuition like them like the sheets will for mineral wall and you don't really have wastage because you can just rip it and stuff it and stretch it where when you cut off cuts like this it's too small to fit between senses or something or you know the whole idea is to get continuous layer of insulation hatch working it was a little bit is not particularly efficient but I'm going to hold back the bigger pieces so I think we should be able to insulate around our terminals or above the tank for the boiler because that's out in the garage and that loses a bit of heat so I think if we build a little stud wall around that we can certainly use up half of the wastage here right in this corner where are taking the total waste of the wall although I'll leave a little bit of a gap and just so we can cut fill that I'm going to try to transcribe all these including the ceilings to the same work so he is not going to plastered so rather you to come first under using a pencil clipped into a sharpie which is cutting you know accurate enough and then I'm just running it down guiding the end of the sharpie on the wall seems to work alright and then we'll cut that out and slop it along we tweak a little advantage the top ball I had it's a reciprocating saw the King enjoyable school little hand tool good works all right and I'll just trim it a little bit it's not gonna be that accurate and we can get enough let's get it crackin up and then we can fill so now for my top ones in where I know timbers are and it's going to run a straight edge down give us a pencil line so don't go missing all these Timbers bizarrely all these studs no actually on an angle anyway [Music] so maybe pretty common knowledge but these sounded screwdriver bits are great but they do we'll be pulling if you only tighten up going through and pitch that paper and then that's no good because the plasterer can pop up and it's not going to hold your plausible type these then these pretty inexpensive bits here I think they're called drywall bit but they've got the same quasi Phillips head but it's recessed within this kind of collar so only a fraction of it points out which means that you can't over tighten these screws while not particularly easy and I'll take them it and set the back at the right distance to you should end your laser coming up to these openings now and the likes of these studs are straight they're basically nailed to the side of the joist and to the side of the rafters but they don't line up and they just said they've always been that way but I need to make sure they'll actually squared off to the when our door fits in here so the access hatch that it looks straight and it's easier to work with so rather than trying to straighten up these studs because everything fixes now I'm just going to build a a square box that will act as a lining and it'll kind of touch stop right in touch them up there the bottom left and then we'll pack it out and then we can insulate around it from the other side so anything to measure the the distance here which comes to 150 mil or some glass timbers and 50 ml of insulation plus 2 12 and a half mil of into L plus board so around that up and then that last our lining and we can forward up to that all the way around just give it a nice tidy opening and I'm going to do that down in the workshop on a table saw because we've got three of these hatches to do make sense just to run them all off and then come up and make up the boxes up here back that was that not as quick as I hope so what I've done is I've ripped down any scrap plywood at the final 12 mill down to the right width or how to the right width now light out nicely and [Music] then cut it to the length yet I'm just going to get my hand level the Microsoft we should be able to create a box and then I'll just put a little break across it hold it square we've made up this spot I think you a see down the bottom as well to make sure we've got enough space for getting bored so it's not doesn't go to the floor level all this is just finished screwing bottom left so that's how I give this datum to to work off but hopefully what we will fix top left and bottom right sorry bottom left and top right so one thing I need to do is get it scrapper first of all because we want to make sure that this is standing out the same amount pretty good finally show up there okay so I showed up a little bit around the outside put some more hundred mil in there off cut and then put some 50-round so pull you around out and we've got the same 12 mil protrusion or way around so it matches up we show the capital turning of that so too much push the insulation up so it needs a few of the watches to hold that into the pizzas you must even be careful - well it's something battling it quite strong and they can put even if you're putting a rigid window it can throw stuff out so it's worth kind of bracing it and I might put a timber across here just to make sure none of it we don't end up throwing in the corner [Music] [Music] eisah fix up that new joint let's taste it a little bit to the timbre that just makes you a little feel and which one gets snug fit in here pretty good to me [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] love still available to do here which I mean cigar some more screws will finish that off and then we can look next time at getting all the sealing spinach and I'm gonna start filling all those holes so thanks for watching join us in the next video as we get one step closer to decorating and remember if you can't do it yourself and we'll see you next time [Music] you [Music]
