I always try to make a very neat job when it comes to plasterboarding. I think it says a lot about the rest of your work. Never going to be seen but feels good. Excellent work as always Scott.
Just a thought for your Mr. Brown... needing to replace your tires is not a sign that your vehicle is old. Love your videos. You two remind me of a couple builders I get to work with from time to time. Good friends with a solid work method.
Honestly I love this sound of attic stair springs. So many childhood memories of going up into my parents attic and exploring the old items they had up there from before I was born
amazing this video literaly came out 10h before i put up a wall to insulate and plasterboard and plaster a wall in my garage for machine shop im building.
@Scott Brown Carpentry. Thanks Scott for the tip for cutting plasterboard/drywall. That'll really help me in the future. Hope you, Paerau, and your families stay safe and well.
I'm American so I especially love when some weird little difference comes up. What you call warrant of fitness we just call inspection, but I'm definitely calling it a warrant of fitness from now on. Just like my lunch break has become smoko time.
In the UK that would be the "MOT Test" or "Ministry of Transport Test" which is kinda funny because the Ministry of Transport hasn't existed for years - it's the Department for Transport (DfT) now, which doesn't administer MOT tests.. they're administered by VOSA (the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency). Gotta love a bit of bureaucracy! ;)
Makes my plastering look less than perfect, although it was the first time lol. This is the goal! Also, Jess is great! Very funny and natural in front of the camera!
Auckland's climate is super stable. Daytime temperatures only change about 20 degrees between summer and winter. So essentially you can wear the same clothes between summer and winter and maybe just add a top layer in the colder months.
I love your vids bro, they are always super cool...but another thing i love is reading the comments and how much everyone loves your work...keep it up mate, a fellow chippy here in NZ
I definitely think you should invest in a Volkswagen Transporter or even better and Volkswagen Crafter. Quite expensive I know but a really good investment. I don't know if there's finance options in NZ like there is in the uk but you should look at leasing. Especially what's called flexible leasing or flexible hire here. Companies like Enterprise and Europcar both offer it and there will be independent companies as well in NZ.
Pretty cool that old ceiling strapping didn't split when you drove those screws. With the stuff I've dealt with I'd have had to pre-drill those, probably with a countersink bit.
Thank you so much for sharing your content, I've learned loads and been entertained so much from your videos. Many thanks from an apprentice carpenter in Canada!
I'm not a carpenter but i have loaned a drywall-screw-gun before, a Hilti, I was taught by the guy who lent me it that you should not hold it like you do a drill or a saw. You get a better "feel" when you hold it with your index and your middle finger straight forward along the tool, and then you use the ring and pinky to press the button. Immagine making a finger gun and then hold the screw-gun like that.
Funny that you guys are using clamps to level out the ceiling. Was using clamps earlier today to straighten out a bowed 2x8 for a deck I was working on
Hello Scott Brown Carpentry from Sydney, Australia. STATE HOUSING NZ I am interested in the period that these homes were built. More so the milling of the native timber, firing of clay brick and roofing tiles. Observations. Hands down: the plumbing and electrical supply (fail) with demand and age. Over and above, timber window frames and door set move and decay with foundation impacts from drying and wet conditions. I would really appreciate a story on subdivision, block surveys, and the style of construction. I hope you can "nail it" sir, Yours sincerely. 🌏🇭🇲
The way we do drywall ceilings here is that we have either a baker. When we are standing on the ground we reach up and extend a tape measure to the ceiling. whatever measurement hits the ceiling that's how far off the ground we set the baker so that when we are lifting up drywall sheets we're not using our muscles it's just are bone structure holding the sheet up.
For those that don't know a Baker is a small section of wheeled scaffold. Maybe a 1M x 2 deck and rather light duty. These are great if you have crown to install on 10' (3m?) ceiling, or doing ceiling strapping like we see in this video. If less height I still prefer to work off an aluminium bench. But I'm old, and trying to learn from you kids every day!
@@jimurrata6785 Benches are better and faster. If it's over 12 feet I'll pass sheets up but you have to be able to climb a bench with a sheet. Rather use a lift than a baker.
Hi Scott. Could you do a video about what it's like working in the trades in NZ? I'm doing a trade in high pay/high tax scandinavia, and i'm having a hard time measuring up the pros and cons. Either way i'm gonna do the move in a couple of years, but it would be nice to get a better grasp of what i'm getting myself into. Cheers!
NZ Tradie earns roughly take home pay starts 1000 NZD per week. $2000 when you are good. But you pay your own tax and holiday pay normally as a self employed subcontractor. Rent and living costs are high some of the highest in the OECD.
Hi Scott, have been watching you for quite some time now and we at home enjoy your videos. I was wondering why you don't use plasterboard(Jib) props, I use them a lot and find them very handy, stops my arms from aching at the end of the day. Must take a lot of effort in making the videos, keep up the good work.
Hey Scott, can you please explain your method of a reference line more in detail? Like: How you perfectly mark it on the plaster board like in the video? Amazing work guys, iam a little bit envious ;-)
Any change in lumber prices there Scott? Interesting to see an empty yard there. Here in Canada the prices are thru the roof (5x for a sheet of OSB) yet the yards are full.. Kinda odd..
6:58 Scott, what do you think of your 3M 7000 series half face resp? Like it or hate it. Use a 3M rugged quick latch (so 6500 series) and debating whether to get the one you have. Curious to know what you and your guys think about them. You sure do find some interesting stuff when RENOing a home, don’t ya. Glad the van passed and just needed wiper blades👍🏻 Cheers✌🏻
OK, so Jess did it! I finally signed to Skillshare through your link, to be honest I was going to do it, I need a little more help learning Korean, and the Korean courses on Skillshare are well worth it. But! Mr Brown are you playing mind games? You are now putting charming woman and cats in his videos? Surly this is not fair to the common man!
Fantastic video, mate. Nice shout out to the musical artist at the end, do you use like a subscription service or something? Or do you just have a 1:1 relationship with your person? Your music is always 🔥🔥
Hi Scott, just wondering how to you quote on a renovation job like this? Coz you never know what will you see before opening it up, might be a lot of extra work to be done there. Or do you just charge by the hour? Cheers
That reference line tip also works great for any shape in general that isnt square, when I was doing a curved walkway for a stage that trick was my lifeline
So quick Q mate - are you ripping that tart at 10:00 with the 12 whatevers on a table saw, a circ or a jig? Just want to get a dangle here on how you get a nice clean line on it.
What do you mean by “warrant” mate? Is that like a “certificate or roadworthiness” which is what we have here in Aus. If so how come you need to keep getting it done?
Scott, we appreciate you need a new van, and that's cool. But if your new one doesn't have a cool turquoise stripe on it 259,000 people are going to be upset.
