Fantastic! If we had enthusiastic people like James doing demos like this in schools maybe we wouldn't have a skills shortage 👍 addictive viewing 👌😁

@avancalledrupert5130 3 года назад

It's bad . I just slowly worked my way up from labourer . Watching practicing at home , winging it . I'm pretty good now but took me years and I know chunks of multiple trades . It was just nobody giving apprenticeships when I left school. Once you get older you can't live on one . I'm probably going to just pay for a fast track nvq . I get plenty of work without it but things will change . Won't be able to chip on a green card forever.

@burwoodbuild 3 года назад

@@avancalledrupert5130 agree. Apprenticeships are only good for youngsters living at home, it's all uni uni uni now. We need more options for school leavers... Not coffee shops full of over-educated graduates. I guess as you get older you have no option but to pay for formal qualifications and upskill yourself... That was almost a Roger mini-rant!

I love these kinds of things because it looks very simple. Especially when you see it done it’s all very logical. The three sides are vertical. The one side goes back to match the angle of the roof… Then you have the picture of the dormer roof itself. It all makes sense. There’s a lot of calculation and a lot that can go wrong. Looks like a very fine job.

@m2dat791 3 года назад

Seat cut on to some noggins

@SkillBuilder 3 года назад

The most important thing is to stop that ridge moving in or out. Spiking it to the side of a rafter achieves this. The ridge is supported on the rafters.

@j4ck888 3 года назад

@@SkillBuilder get what you are saying, the dormer rafters are self supporting - equal and opposite. still prefer it sat over two existing commons by nogs, its potentially asking too much of the existing structure via 1 common rafter (basically a matchstick, probably sat there 100 years, most likely on a purlin, now removed). as the other guy said above, its spread over two via noggins (not a seat cut though, the cut would be the pitch of the roof). anyway, neat work, quickly done, very good as usual.

@@SkillBuilder It must add £2/3 grand to a new build , OSB board for roof tiles, roofing battens for slates.

@daihedral9269 3 года назад

@@SkillBuilder The reason Scottish roofs are close boarded is that historically local Scottish slates were normally smaller, thicker and heavier and more irregularly sized so battens would have had to be so close together to accommodate the slates that it was easier and more efficient just to close board. The sarking boards were laid with a penny gap to allow for expansion/contraction and ventilation of the roof space so it's not like they were for providing protection from the weather. Great video by the way.

At 14:10 the trimmer at the bottom of the old rafters looks quite badly split. Is that not a potential problem? (speaking as someone who wouldn't know his arse from his elbow)

@jimichip 3 года назад

Hi Stephen, it does look bad but that section of timber will be cut off when we come to fit the soffits and fascias. The majority of the strength in the rafter trimmers is between the birds mouth that sits on the wall plate and the purlin (or flitch beam in this case) that is further up inside the roof.
