Garage Conversion Stud Walls

but welcome back to our garage conversion I'd say it's pretty much a garage again now we can start converting it first job is going to be finished off the roof and then we'll get onto the sidewalls [Music] I'm kind of doing a back-to-front sim before everything's back to front with this project but how can your aunt's in this brick work all the windows in the next couple of weeks but I need to get this installation in so what I'm going to do is I'm gonna get our symbols put in they'll have a breather membrane on the back then I'll have all the insulation in vapor barrier plasterboard and all that stuff I think come in and do this brickwork afterwards all have it done by a brick II and so out of these openings there's nothing I can't do from outside apart from what I've taken off these great security great the rest of these can all be taken out from the other side the glazing beads on the other side and that should just pull out [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] we fight rather not watch it now from what I've seen it looks like we've got a damn proof membrane underneath slab but I will be adding another wall on top but where there stud will sits because I'm putting them in first they need to build a DPC so I'll put that along the bottom and then we'll back the whole lot with the breather membrane like a roofing felt something and stand it up another you could already get away without dinner membrane I think the building record I said that he prefers it and you definitely want to do it using a soft insulation but because we're kind of a little bit exposed temporarily until the brickworks done it's worth doing and then we'll stand it up and we'll move on to the next one [Music] now every frugal part of me wants to cut around the window now and use up offcuts but yeah it's one of those speed things efficiency and the fact that we will be taking down that wall there's nothing to say that I can't go down in one day so it could be exposed for a few hours [Music] one of these is a must after using staple gun for years and years and this sort of thing and then going along the hammer afterwards I think it was 15 pounds I say I will leave a link below if I can find it and well worth it [Music] there's a pretty good result it's all nice and solid there what I've done is I've I've actually screwed it up to the beam so I know the beam is perfectly level and then down the bottom then I'll just shim it for half - but I put that mortar bed down last night and that's pretty pretty much support is nothing I need about a two mil Packer at that one end a little wedge so I've left it flush with the front of the pier just stood off a little bit same with the beam and then what that means we can fill our insulation between the studs but our our layer of insulation that's going over the top which like a thermal break will continue over everything which you just mean that all the piers on the outside of the insulation and the vapor barrier the same with a beam at the top and that we tied into the ceiling paper Barrett [Music] I just cannot find a decent impact bit that doesn't shatter after a couple of hours use these Milwaukee ones are the latest ones are trying maybe balding yesterday I got these three to three already but even on the lowest setting just seems a little bit as soon as you hit a knot and you're really giving it something they tend to check that should be a little bit loose either side because I've gone with 2.4 meters right from the top in first [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] though not much to go off there apart from the fact that I want Ofsted to end up so it's flush with the front of our block or a couple of MIL off to carry our insulation straight over the whole lot and then I can level all the posts down from there all the studs down from there and then fix the bottom and tomorrow through that mortar bed when it's all there got off now of course I'm going to get a lot of questions here what I using treated timber and I just don't think there you could and there's no reason why you shouldn't but really if I've got that and membrane on the back we've got decent weather proofing by the block work and the render in the paint but really there's no wood on masonry contact we've got the DPC underneath and another little thing is sometimes we use freshly pressure-treated said work in a garage conversion let's say and then you go to put your plaster board straight on there there's quite a lot of shrinkage and movement as that tantalized treatment dries and that can actually cause issues with the plaster board don't think it would be that common but it's pretty good way to go in our last carriage conversion at our previous home we are used metal said work because it's even narrower it's about 50 mm we were a really tight on the space set so I went 50 ml and that worked quite well and that you know I'm happier working with timber so that's the way I've gone now if the kids were turning from the Christmas and a massive thank you to all the people who volunteered to come and get involved today I decided against it in the end I kind of hope they mention out last week saying if anyone wanted to pop along and make a bit of a day of it but it ended up being such a crazy last couple of days it just I wasn't going to make the most of people's time you've got people coming to give you a hand you really need to spend some time thinking about exactly what you want them to do have all the materials here and you know things were just a bit of a mess a crazy last couple of days but there were people offering to drive a long way to come and spend the day here which was truly humbling but I will not turn them down completely and we'll try and get something sorted when we build that workshop right back on back on studs [Applause] [Music] I'm just gonna use some of these your galvanized brackets and what that will do is it will kind of just stop there's no chance of racking really because it's itself it's contained in but one or two connecting this to the block word we'll just stop any moving it'll make it so rigid and these ones are quite thick and they've also got a big enough slot hole there that I'll just take a concrete screw so it should be quite quick addition [Music] Tim why are you measuring from the roof you may ask well three the reason for that reason for that is I know our roof is perfectly level so quite a reason but secondly I'm I've got a race the floor in here somehow I see there going to be an insulated floating floor or an insulated screen and that's just down to budget and whether we want underfloor heating in here or not that's still to be debated but it just makes sense to go one point two down one point two down and then I'll end up with a small strip of glass of oil at the bottom which is fine and I won't put in that bottom timber until I know well our fluorite will be so that's to be decided [Music] but we'll mix it up a little bit we'll do this one with the nail gun [Applause] [Music] it's definitely quicker but you tend to to know down as much control over it with their screws you can back it out at weekend you know you get a bit of feel for it maybe the speed over quality or just being efficient by the name [Music] I'm pretty sure I'll go but I don't wedge it in there until I got the membrane on of course it's a slip ceiling you just got to go beyond a point and then you're in and if you start making it too short then you weren't going hey you were too loose they you know ideal world we're going top first but I'm not sure I can turn it around now oh yeah okay [Music] [Music] good that he's working now getting the top in first and kicking the bottom in I don't know wedging completely yet because they've got a member in the back sitting like all of that because I think the kids are wanting further decorations that time of year we're always a bit early because Joe likes to do around their birthday weekend so that's it we'll pick this one up tomorrow okay we're back another day another wall I've got to get these walls done and we've we've been chatting over the weekend and we've decided that we are gonna get this room to a position where we can move the workshop back in at the end of this week it's Tuesday now already and that's because I don't want the marquee which have four out of a friend and it's already been up far too long I don't want that to be out any longer than it needs to be especially the Christmas and the weather's only gonna get worse so I want to try and get the walls insulated perhaps plasterboard it but maybe not even that far and perhaps also try and get the floating floor down over the next few days then I can move everything back into here I don't have to worry about anything outside of a winter this will become the workshop space temporarily until the workshops built and now I can still have a working utility and work on that end so we're kind of when you just need to get to that phase so you've got to get these walls built biggest stretch I could find [Music] [Music] [Applause] right our last section again but it's really belting it down outside I just take my workshop no my tool just surviving out there that's my table-saw sad times next thing to sort out is the top of the door just the timber that will carry the plasterboard on the reveal that I can't just measure up as it is because I haven't allowed for a new floor so I need to do that build up on the stud here and then I can kind of work out from there but a tea milk kingspan now there I'm gonna get to the bottom of this sense because I'm pretty sure that said the highest point of the floor that's where it will end up so hate email and then we've got 22 mill flooring and it's at that point that we'll have our outdoor sitting on to it what I'm going to do I've put in this in with the bottom just to hold up from the square when it comes to fitting the door this block works when we cut out I'll also cut out that bottom timber and I'll probably just put a little coarser brick set to sit the sit on and if I bring up those two the same height of the insulation that should work quite well I don't really want a huge step over there's already going to be a step down into the garden from here [Music] yesterday there was Sun there was rain [Music] that's the [Music] skirt [Music] there's something let us partition on earth [Music] so [Music] right that was spawned over three or four days so Sorek the video is a bit chop-chop even change the camera halfway through so now I'm gonna crack on tonight and pull a light one I'm gonna try and get this floor leveled out I'm not sure if I'm gonna do much video footage on that because I'm still working out how I'm gonna do it I think I just knock up a bit of screed sound of cement screed to bulk up the corner because it's a good 40 mil there and then I've got some self levelling compound if I need it then I can fill the other voids with that but I didn't really want to start buying 100 pounds worth of you know self levelling compound if I could help it it's all gonna be underneath the damper of course before the installation the only reason for it is that I want the insulation boards to rock at all and you need a fairly well blinded or screeners floor to do that so that's the next task thanks for watching if

I must see you next time [Music]
