Thanks Guys, you rock!!!
Genuinely thank you so much for these videos, they're so clear and easy to follow!
All the work done up in The attic,what a great way to go, instead of trying to fit support beams up thru the ceiling from below,Brilliant!!
Thanks Jack 👊
love the Aussies... everythings so "no worries" "no drama"... "right mate, we'll just throw some beams up there, pop those walls out... have a burger with a beet root for lunch, sparky wires it up, back to work, throw up some gyp wall, bob's your uncle, home in time to watch (insert footie or cricket here)... no winge-ing... love the work ethic... miss the cafe's
+William Womack , Haha love it William!! Cant believe I missed your comment, what a classic.
Thanks Steve K, I used 125mm * 14 gauge bugle screws fixed through timber droppers that were connected to each ceiling joists and the new support beam. You can get pre fabricated metal droppers, but i find getting the large fastener into the timbers tends to lock everything together a lot better. You can see this taking place from 6:30 - 8:10 in the video. Cheers and thanks for watching.
What’s with the full 🌕 ? I had to watch it a few times and freeze frame it to make sure I saw that I thought I did! 😂😂😂😂
nice work. 1 question. does my helper need to wear extremely short shorts as well to achieve this level of craftsmanship?
LOL
I am looking at the same issue in my old place. Thanks for the vid.
ahahahaha! Ass flash @9:33
LOL!
I just saw that :-P
That is a great video. I was surprised to see how similar the construction, tools and fasteners are between the U.S. (Philadelphia) and Australia. I love the comedic touch. I am an inspector on construction sites and guys tend to make jokes to relieve the tension.
Cheers mate, I agree they seem very similar. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Thanks for the reply I assumed that was the case great videos gave me the rough understanding and just done the same in my kitchen living room flush finish ceiling looks amazing thanks for the idea👍
Great vid wish I would of seen it last week when i was doing the same exact job. Great work keep them coming
nice work. why not using hangers/metal braces to fix the ceiling joists to the beam? how long was the 50x300 beam?
9:33 moons camera
James you didn't mention anything, so do you find you generally need to prop under the timber floor too, or do you consider the floor joists and a spreader pad sufficient for the Acrows in a job like this?
Beautiful work 🙌
In that way of placing the reinforcement beam, it does not receive the weight of the roof sleepers. In my opinion, the sleepers had to be cut and the reinforcement beam placed in the middle, so that the loads converge on the reinforcement beam. However, we can see another wall that supports the ceiling load
mate that was fantastic, thanks for sharing can't believe i only found your channel now. Subscribed!!
Thanks Dean, much appreciated! Glad you are enjoying the channel, let me know if there are any other videos you would like to see filmed.
Hey James,
Awesome Video mate, Has helped me heaps. Im sure your buddy mooned the camera, but didnt want to go back and see lol . cheers mate
Thanks Vince, glad I could help, and I don't blame you....
Yeah seen that in the video but not how the droppers are connected to the new support beam. Thanks for the video
Hi Jack, I used the same 125mm*14g screws back the other way to connect the droppers to the beam, the droppers were 70*45mm, so the screw through the 70mm section still bites into the beam 55mm. Hope that explains it a little better? Feel free to drop me an email if you want some more details. Cheers mate.
Holy shit! That was amazing.
Didn't even know that was possible 🙆
Is that possible or just a DIY cheap Idea?
great vid!! just a quick question. how did you connect the purlin struts to the new beam? i couldn't really see how that was done. cheers
I wonder this too......🤔
Always professional
Good job. Very informative video.
Great vid, appreciate the effort in making it.
Cheers mate, glad you found it helpful!
You managed to get some inappropriate imagery in there around 9:33 lol
John T lmao
Lol i saw that too. Random af.
great vedio! only have a question: did an engineer involved in the project and provided drawings, or you came up with the solution yourself? Does this kind of work need a building permit?
Great video. Keep them coming!
Can you tell me how you connected the struts to the lintel?
Great job Chief. I enjoyed this vid. Nice work.
skweekah Cheers mate!
Good job
Hi mate, nice job. Just a question on that LBW you removed had a diagonal brace. Even with racking forces in non cyclonic regions surely that brace needs to be retrofitted elsewhere?
Great Vid James, thanks. Keep them coming.
Great vid. How did you connect the droppers to the new beam?
Steve K did u ever find out?..i want to know that too
He would have screwed through the beam into the hangers.
Hi , Thanks for your videos they are
really great help for DIY person like myself. I have an issue replacing my kitchen
window with a wider one in my about 80 year old 2 story house. The new window
is 4 foot high the sill has to clear the kitchen cabinets by doing so I will
have only 5” at the top to bottom of the joists instead of 8” the allowances
for the header. Is it possible to use a steel lintel for wood joists above my
67” new window? If I’m not mistaken the load on the joists will be about
45lb/sft for first floor ceiling for two story residential house building. I
also need to know how to fasten the lintel to the king and jack studs.
Thanks
again very kindly.
+papoony1 , Thanks mate. Yes a steel lintel can be used, although it would normally mean that steel posts get installed on either side of the opening to support the steel if it's in a timber framed wall. If the walls below are brick then the steel can be supported on that. I would recommend bouncing it of a structural engineer though before trying to tackle the project, they will be able to suggest the best method according to standards and regulations.
Good luck with it!
Nice music background

hey Mate, this is gonna be a odd question but... what kind of watch do you have.? I like big watches... nice job on the wall removal.!
Great video and very informative, just a question, I am currently renovating and need to square up my arch over my garage door and support the brick work above and install a steel lintel. Just wanting to know if you have covered this in a video you have completed. You help would be greatly appreciated
Cheers, Shane
Hi Shane, sorry mate I don't. If you want to drop me an email though my website with a few pics I will try to help you out.
Cheers.
Nice video found it very helpful thanx.
Nice, thank you. Love the music!
Cheers mate.
so what u just used your lag bolts to screw into the beam on a 45? no hangers? i thought u said u were gunna use real hangers for all that? just curious
+jordan kruger , Hi Jordan, thanks for the comment, I used timber droppers that I attached to the beam and ceiling joists.
nice work mate👍
Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it!
Hi, Great Video!! Loved the "dropper" method. Is this method only used in Oz, or can we use this in other countries?
Do you have to restrut the purlin into the new lvl beam
hi James
how did you attach you purlin struts to your beams as it looks like you kept them in place?
cheers
Hi Daniel, yes I re attached them with 3"nails to hold them in place and the 14G bugal screws.
What would the rough cost be of a project like that ?
You never should how you fixed the droppers to the beam how did you do it?
What would something like that cost
6:29 How did you tighten the 2x4 to the beam ?
bog old batten screws
THE GUY IN THE BLUE SHIRT MOONED US (at 9:32)!!!
How James, how did you determine the length/thickness of the lvl engineered beams?
+roman , Hi Roman, I bounced it off my structural engineer.
Hi buddy how did you attach to droppers to LVL same as droppers to Joyce cheers
Most appreciated

@@OurBuild Still not clear. Can see droppers bolted to existing ceiling joists. But did not see how droppers were mechanically fastened to the new beam.
on to it 1st video mate ... mmmm I am off to tack walls out in me home now lol
Thanks DIY Glenn
Still relevant info well done , but try to wear a dust mask as It tends to irritate the lungs for long after the job's done
Typically from start to finish how long does something like this take? Also what would be a ballpark for something like this including calling in a structural engineer? I actually live in California just trying to get an idea thank you
Hi Kristopher, generally allow about one week including painting, may be a little longer or shorter depending on the full scope.
Whats the background music name? great video by the way!
tiggione Thanks, not sure what the music is called?

What's the span and what size lvl did you use?
Hi Francisco, i used a 300*63 LVL over a span of about 3.9 mtrs
How did you attach the struts to the beam?
droppers.
Is the background music from Simcity!?! Hilarious!
How did u connect the droppers to the new beam?

Our Build
How much roughly did all that cost?
probably 5000-8000 AUD
soooo can you do this without a engineer ? just do over kill?
How much would have that cost?
Hi Poker Queen87, Thanks for your question. This video may be on the web for a long period of time so the figure on it as it may become obsolete over time if I was to quote a figure. Best bet is to obtain 3 quotes from qualified contractors if you are looking to do something similar. Alternatively drop me an email and i can send you some rough calcs to give you a guide. Cheers James.
Thanks James, i haven't got quotes yet but i will get a few. I am in Australia so i wont be able to hire you lol.
PokerQueen87 thanks I'm in Australia too :)
Oh didnt realise. You are in Sydney and i am in Melbourne
PokerQueen87 If you are after quotes i recommend trying a service called www.homeimprovementpages.com.au/ , if you put in all your details they can organize 3 quotes for you. Alternatively drop me an email through my contacts page www.ourbuildhandyman.com.au/enquire-advice-planning/ and i can give you a guide over email on what you should expect to pay. Kind regards, James.
when the carpenter does the plastering 😭😭😭😭😭 (qualified finisher here)
thanks for the video though. i sometimes wonder what all the reinforcing stuff is about.
Kool educational video, you didn,t show how you connected the purlons back to the new beams. Oh, you need to get your offsider a uniform (and a belt) to look a little less like a bogan.
Thanks Len! Yeah being my first CZcams Video I realized I have left a few important details out, which im now mindful for future videos. Ill let my Bogan offsider know he needs to step up his dress apperance :) haha
Take care mate.
lol
What's the estimated cost?
+Slick McCoy Id rather not time stamp it by adding a cost mate, this video will more than likely be up for years to come, if you want to know more about the costs in detail feel free to fire me an email and i will let you know some details that way. Cheers.
+Our Build understood, thank you sir...
where are you QLD ...NSW ...GOLD COAST?
+Francoise Matthyssens Currently QLD, soon to be Sunny Coast 🤙
9:30 the guy in shorts pulls his shorts down. Needs a tan.
11:36 😂🤦♂️
Really? Am I the ONLY ONE that saw the big goofy assistant "Drop Trousers" at the 9:33 mark?
Edit: Ok. After reading everything below, I see I am NOT the only one.
yeah mate, u saw correctly :)
9:33 ASS-Shot !!!!!!!!!!!!!
This time I will use Woodglut plans for this.
