BC was right, the upstand will deal with your thermal bridging. We dont below dpc with insulation. Yes put the ties in to catch insulation. Put the about every 450mm, you should catch them all including where you have joins. Congrats for getting through the toughest phase of the build
Can’t believe people give abusive or negative comments when someone is trying to entertain with content. I wouldn’t even finish reading those comments Liam, just immediately move on to others
Loving the videos - I'd be curious to know what your expenses would be if you weren't doing all the work yourself, like how many days you've put in times a daily wage (and how much you've saved as a result). I'm sure you'd be close to double your expenses by now
@@thegardenroomguru i coukdnt work it out wen u were guaging ur dig out to ffl... usually ud do 4 inch crush 10mm blinding 4 inch slab 100m pir the 65mm screed then latex to finish if needed so ud wanna be 375 below dpc but u were miles lower
Ties on the DPC are generally avoided because you want a good bond to the block above and below, which can't happen on the DPC course. A lot of tie manufacturers say not to use their products on DPC. Membrane on top of insulation is a slip layer, and to stop liquid seeping down and moving the boards during the pour. Screed is usually specified to contain UFH and to provide a smooth and level base for flooring as concrete often ends up uneven. If the layers below are laid well and level, and there's no underfloor heating, then screed isn't really needed and SLC will do.
Put tie wires at dpc level buddy, like you say it will hold your insulation, they do say of its a new house you should run insulation down but to me this doesn't sit right with me, especially with potential of damp from the ground.
Good to see you back mate hope you’re feeling better now looking forward to rest of build best thing on you tube by far you no you’re stuff take it easy
So do we have to enter again if we didn’t leave our phone number ?? Edit I’ve just spend 40 mins mucking around with the raffles web site all I wanna do is leave my number with the tickets I bought ages ago thats all
@@thegardenroomguru thanks for responding I’ll be dammed if I can find anyway of putting my number in my profile on raffle it just won’t let me at all I’ll have to get in touch with them thanks
Can’t believe the costs with building control to inspect at the various stages..my double garage build is running to nearly £3.5k just in Building control fees
Liam, it seems like the issue you have is that you are working to architect specs and not an engineers specifications architect, always over specify. Most building inspectors aren’t structural engineers they usually know the regs backwards. The previous video regarding the roots to the tree I thought well a joke and substantially increased your foundation costs. Don’t know if I agree with concrete coding the foil otherwise concrete would corrode reinforcement. You need to the presence of oxygen for corrosion to a car. Anyway, good to see your back, Liam The rest of the stuff will be easy And if there is any haters I am a qualified structural engineer
after doing garden rooms for a long time why didnt you ask the architect to plans for timber frame build with external brick skin. you could have thrown timber frame up. roof on and done brickwork as and when the weather now allows. if its bad weather you would be water tight to work indoors.
Hiya mate, what's happened to the videos? Hope everything is ok. Can I ask you a question about my upcoming garden room? It's going to be 7m x 3m and 2.5m high and not over 50% of overall land. Is there anything regarding how close to the boundary I need to worry about? It's going to be under 1m on both sides. Thanks
The main issue will be fire proofing. Less than 1m from the boundary and the building should be majority non combustible materials. You can clad the sides with metal or paint (if cladding in timber) with fire proof paint/varnish. Hope that helps
Every inspector has a different opinion and understanding of the rules mate, unfortunately they do not all sing from the same sheet, metal cladding is often enough, a layer of fire resistance plaster board keeps some happy, the problem lies when you inform them, unfortunately it can open a can of worms, only ever had the council out twice and both times they were only bothered about height
@@thegardenroomguru Thanks for the reply mate big help gonna do the metal cladding,pink board and rock wool insulation. Can't do much more than that. 👍
Hi Liam. You know there is no where to add your phone number on the Raffel profile for tomorrow’s draw? You might have to random generate a box number for the winner? Andrew
Hi Liam, Love the Chanel and the Project never mind the numpties who say there bit,,you keep making the videos and I’ll keep watching them,, 💪🏻👍🏻🇬🇧 Liam are the costings ex vat or in excluding vat
Good to see you back Liam , I’ve been checking everyday for your video 💪 Really enjoying the channel , What are you going to do once this has been built mate ?
You need a Civil Engineer to answer all the design detail questions as building control guys are not highly qualified. Architects, despite having a degree are often quite poor at understanding material testings and the theory behind design decisions.
You’ve worked hard probably to hard on your own ,wheres um trying to remember names ,,Jen and ,can’t remember the chaps name can’t they give you a hand as you made a good team
