  • We are using Native New Zealand timber for this floor. It is beautiful but the floor framing isn't. In this episode, we show a quick way to straighten the floor frame. Also, I show you the camera gear I use to make my videos.

    It’s actually a very well written and comprehensive book czcams.com/users/postUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 . I wanted to pair this with an updated book on local codes to start planning a post-retirement dream shop. I think I have just about everything I need between the two. The extra plans available for purchase towards the end are priced almost as much as full home plans, not little sheds however.

    • @howardgamble5623
      @howardgamble5623 Před 3 lety +9

      We don't have subfloors in New Zealand. T&g goes on joists (same if using chipboard flooring and carpet)

    • @TheBClark88
      @TheBClark88 Před 3 lety +18

      Not just North America...in the UK here. Our engineered wooden 18mm flooring is laid on top of 9mm ply, on 3mm underlay, on basic floorboards on top of joists. And it still creaks a bit in places! I'm really surprised this solution doesn't feel spongey, even with really well installed joist frame

    • @samoanSAIYAN
      @samoanSAIYAN Před 3 lety +4

      Subfloor as in underlay?

    • @jla2034
      @jla2034 Před 3 lety +13

      Most new homes (Australia ) have a 19mm particle board sheeting installed under the floorboards first, then the poly-glue is trowel along with secret nails. This renovation looks like they have had to match existing floor heights, hence the installation methods they have Chosen. What they have done is still mostly compliant with code, as long as the floorboards are end matched and correct secret nails are used. :)

    • @IppiopaidFEEDBACK
      @IppiopaidFEEDBACK Před 3 lety +5

      samoan SAIYAN Yes, to support the floor on top.
      Actually no
      “What is a subfloor?
      The subfloor is the next layer above the joists and acts as a foundation for both the underlayment and surface levels of flooring. A subfloor provides a stable, level surface that new flooring can be easily installed on.”

One can of foam glue will last beyond many many tubes of caulk so you don't have to switch tubes so often. You don't have to squeeze caulk anymore either. Worth it.

    • @tutekohe1361
      @tutekohe1361 Před 3 lety +1

      The sprocket is omni-directional to allow it to be turned to get even wear and although the chain drive-tangs are scalloped on one side to allow sawdust to self-clear, the chain will very easily go on backwards. It is an easy mistake to put it on backwards, but to persist and attempt to cut for 15 minutes or so is the extraordinary part!

    We would just rip down and shim the top of the old lumber, sometimes use 1/2, 1/4, 3/4" ply wood pieces. Expensive material bill to use additional joist material to just make up a small space.
