I really was sad to see Jamie go. I hoped he would become a long term resident. He is very knowledgeable and does great work! So happy to see him back even if it’s a short time!
It's great to see Jaime back in project Kamp! Good to see the teamwork to finish the project! Everyone has his/her own speciality to make it work. The veranda and roof on the sketchy building are amazing! Well done everyone!💪🏻
use a coating on the brick for all the brick ruins. for example mud, mortar, and cement. the brick is ugly and weak anyway so it will keep the water out and inprove the appearance.
@@TempleGuitars didn't know that, but where I'm at it is highly recommended not to coat bricks with anything. Higher humidity may give more reason for concern though.
@@Triumphist The "bricks" in those ruins are more like pottery than the old masonry bricks or newer concrete bricks used in the UK, US, and Canada. They are thin and hollow. Water can seep through. It's true you don't want to paint over exterior load-bearing masonry with latex paint because it will trap moisture in the bricks and degrade them. Portugal is mostly dry and as mentioned, a proper coating will breathe anyway, and the interior is not vapor guarded.
Fantastic job well done. Great to see Jaimie again. So pleased you now have safety rails on the verandah and the roof is a bonus. If you don't plan to have gutters, yet want to collect the precious water from the roof, use a plastic drain pipe and cut a slot in it to the width of the corrugation and secure it (screw it) to the top of the corrugations. Then collect the water in a down spout to a barrel.
Have you ever thought about plastering and whietwashing the sketchy ruin? I know it would look less sketchy but I think it could help with temperature control in summer.
This Mason highly recommends Stucco coating (3-part Sand,cement,lime/clay in 3 layers) over all masonry or existing stone used for habitation or storage/work. Whitewashing with lime is a great mildew inhibitor and it protects the stucco.
Jamie is so god damn beautiful He’s like the Thor of the camp A magnificent man and really massive help to your wonderful camp Glad he’s back I now need to go take a cold shower.
Almost 30 minutes of impact drill sounds. I sure enjoyed it as I’ve not been building as much in wood past years. Brings back good vibes. Beautiful video, good job everyone who worked on it!
it´s really professional made veranda the rounded edges i love it. Jamie is really good at that, love to see him back. he is also good to look at, just an extra bonus😁
@@milliondollarart any tradesperson worth their salt can do the work with only hand tools, the addition of power tools comes later after you master the hand tools; then you master the power or modern tools, in some ways new and modern makes it easier but sometimes harder. 3 trades under my belt and this is how every one did it.
I would suggest while doing some work on the sketchy ruin, to recoat the decking. It looked rather rough and you would want it to last as long as the new stuff! Great work.
Nice job everyone, I particularly liked this video compared to the last few. It had the feeling of the earlier work which was always entertaining. No criticism of any of your work, some stuff is just different.
Have you thought about rendering the outside of the building? You could use mostly local ingredients, a lighter color would help with keeping things cooler and it would fill in all the nooks and crannies rodents, insects, water and wind-blown embers could get into.
The only visible thing sketchy looking now is the wall behind. You should give it the typical Portuguese look:- render and whitewash. Nice solid looking veranda. 👍
All the angles of all those cuts made my brain hurt. Shows what a master craftsman Jamie is!! He made it look easy and lm sure it wasn't. From the comments he is obviously a fan favorite. You have had and have so many interesting people. The veranda is beautiful.....now the brick walls? Hmmm?
I believe this video was done much earlier as it looks like it was done when it was hotter. Also most of the recent videos shows the veranda complete. Nonetheless, a Project Kamp build video is still a welcome and enjoyable part of the day! Great music and very skilled craftsman yall have.
Looks great! To all the Jaimie fans out there, this is showing him doing work over a month ago and saying he was leaving right after the project was finishing. Which was weeks ago. We're all glad for this last great project. PK, you might want to offer Jaimie a stipend to come back, and fundraise selling calendars with a different picture of him for every month lol. I think he's cool, but this comment section is something, eh?
That entire deck could be expanded/extended much farther out now , the timber framing is super strong. New living space!!!! I would continue to extend the floor joists from where the deck ends and make that deck as large as possible, then extend the roof over it.
Another great update, if you get time oil the underside of the roof wood from inside, just to preserve the wood and give it an even colour to the veranda oiled wood.
hey, my questions for the #138th Challanges Update are: - how do you make decisions in the camp? (democratic / consensus...) - do you come together as the whole camp for activities, e.g. plenary? - Do you have a concept for self-reflection? e.g. about the distribution of tasks (care work). looking forward to have a bit of an insight of the camp of how you plan tasks and stuff :)
A really good video, albeit one which does demonstrate the level of skill required for projects of this sort. I do wish there were more opportunities to learn carpentry and other trades for those who went in other directions at/after school, because having the ability and the confidence to do this kind of work would probably make a huge difference in terms of the wider scope of people both being able to improve their environments and homes, but also reuse materials as opposed to having to rely on commercial and bespoke products which may be less sustainable.
I just want to point out to the team that the constant safety criticisms that are popping up as the channel grows do reduce significantly when you have someone who is clearly more professional and has done the specific task many many times before (even if his ladder safety is awful lol.) I will say though, that it would probably reduce a lot of the negative comments if you laid out what your policies and liabilities are, I'm aware that there are very different liabilities in different European countries, but I think a lot of your viewers are simply concerned that when you have volunteers doing fairly high risk tasks that they aren't trained to do, wearing no PPE and with no risk assessment done. I'm very aware that it really isn't the spirit of the camp to be writing out rules for wearing ear protection, but you are now becoming a very visible and pioneering channel and you have a responsibility to demonstrate safety. The deck looks great and well-done on all your work so far, it's very impressive.
A great video update this week guys. Great design and carpentry work. I love watching these building projects take shape. I hate the boring intro's and interviews. Let's get to that community centre.
Make sure to drill bigger holes than the diameter of the screws. The metal sheets will 'work' more than the wood with the temperature fluctuations. Therefore drilling bigger holes will give the space for the metal sheets to expand and contract without tension or damage to the structure.
Great to see the upgrade on the Sketchy porch. NOW, the outside walls need upgrading, don't you think? When you waterproof and improve you have to change the name because it won't be sketchy anymore.😅
