Want to do the same in my loft. Talking about safety. We now NEED to put in one of those folding ladders in. Two weeks ago I used a normal straight ladder to access our loft. It slipped out from under me when I was at the top, almost fully in the loft. I fell about 2.9m with the ladder. Landed badly with my left foot and fractured my ankle and tore ligaments. Now in a airboot and crutches for 6 weeks! I'm lucky it could have been worse.

Enjoyed that one, anything more satisfying than seeing ply flooring being laid over some joists? Just me? 😂

@michaelmcphee2930 3 года назад

What thickness was the ply you used? Was it marine ply? Couldn't you have laid the ply crossways across the existing joists instead of adding additional joists? Could the new joists be laid on the 100mm edge? Thanks in anticipation .

@Dewey_Boondye420 2 года назад

i was curious about this aswell.. laying it across the existing joists

@robertsmart7484 Год назад

If you lay the ply on the existing ceiling joists, you limit the anount of insulation you can have (just the depth of the joist, so 100mm not the 300mm you should have nowadays) and, as the ceiling joists were only sized for the weight of plasterboard, anything you store on the plywood will have weight, causing the ceiling joists to deflect and very likely the ceiling to crack, normally along the joints in the plasterboard. His soution, if you listen to the video carefully, is to raise the new joist a little bit above the old ones spanning from the top of one wall to the other, so that they don't bear on to the old joists at all, so the ceiling below doesn't crack. In practice, the new joists will defelect a bit when they are loaded up with boxes and a person walking on them, but probably not enough to worry about.

I did this about 1/3 of my garage, and used 3/4 “ (1.9cm) plywood, but I didn’t add any studs in between. I looked at yours but couldn’t tell what size plywood you were using? I did this 20years ago and everything is ok. I use the space for storing tires, wheels and various car parts. I have a similar pull down ladder, but mostly made of aluminum, with reinforcing in laminated wood. The builder put the access point in such a way, that I can pull down the ladder, even with all 3 cars in the garage. The garage is attached to my home.

@CraigPerry 3 года назад

If you lay the wood across the rafters like this then you add weight to the roof, fine no big deal thats the whole point so you can add more weight by storing stuff up there. However if you lay the wood in line with the rafters and bond them together, glue and screw, you made the rafter thicker and the roof stronger. Same amount of wood, more hassle to fit but strengthens the roof instead of using up some of the strength.

@retix11 9 месяцев назад

I'm assuming you have to run them the whole length?

@pauls4708 3 года назад

They not trusses.It is what is called a close couple roof,Rafters,ceiling joists,and the mid height horizontal members are collar ties.It all acts as a triangle to prevent the weight of the roof pushing the rafters out which would try to force the walls out. Trusses mimic that idea but are all made in one peice and can span up to 12m in one go.(and more), In that old system the spans are much less hence the struts and underpurlins. The collar ties are ussually at the same height as the underpurlins.The underpurlins support the rafter mid span and are themseleves supported by the struts which go down onto the walls

@yup3398 3 года назад

Very nicely done. Of course the only problem with NZ ceiling spaces is they are not insulated from the roof and, as you pointed out, very hot. I hope they don't intend on storing heat sensitive or delicate items up there.

@KimHirose Год назад

Scott ... you forgot something very important when you lifted the batt insulation and exposed the ceiling gyproc, the wall top plates, wire entrances, additional voids ... etc. With the area now free of insulation it would have been to your advantage - as well as the homeowners - to airseal all the present voids in the attic. l noticed A LOT of dirt on the insulation you lifted. Points toward a real issue with air leakage into the attic space and ultimately a concern in summer and winter ... l recognise the job entailed adding storage decking. But as you know when you open things up in old houses other issues crop up and they need addressed correctly as opposed to covering them over ... Just thought l'd point that out ...

@OidHunter Год назад

You usually don't air (draft) seal an attic like this, like you're suggesting. That's just asking for a shed load of moisture build-up... Leading to growth of certain stuff you don't want...

Question. Why didn't you leave the insulation and merely add 2 x 2 or 2 x 4 's atop the existing 2 x 4's, - then lay the flooring? You've totally removed the insulation, and that's definitely not a good technique. The attic is suppose to have insulation in it. Why did you do ut that way?

@robertsmart7484 Год назад

Very good video regarding the new joists and the flooring, not so good regading putting the insulation back. The insulation seemed to be laid undulating across the old joists, leaving tunnels of air either side of the old joists, so effectively only 4" /100mm insulation with large airpaths for heat to escape along lesssening the effectiveness of the insulation. The insulation should have been laid between the old ceiling joists, and a new layer laid across then between the new joists, giving 8" or 200mm insulation overall under the boarding. Still not the currently recommended 12" / 300mm thickness of insulation, but better thabn just 100mm.

disappointing. In among many minutes of thinking he is a film maker shooting "scenes" , I missed where he explained what the pink wood is braced on. Are the attached to each rafter or are they only attached at either end? Don't understand the point of them when the plywood could have been attached direct to the celling joists and avoid adding a lot of extra woodwork weight into the ceiling???

@resmond 2 года назад

they're packed up anywhere there's a wall underneath the joist below, to avoid extra weight on the ceiling. They're used to both distribute weight off the ceiling, or avoid point loading and to avoid compression of the insulation which would make it less effective

@999fugazi Год назад

Great job, however I would have laid the insulation in line with the original roof joists rather than in line with your new ones. When you laid the insulation it hops over the original joists causing small voids near the joists. A thermal imaging camera, from the living area, would show greater heat loss in these areas. Maybe not such a big problem in lovely NZ but we need every bit of heat retention over in the UK.
