Build a Cabin from Second Hand Insulated Panels and salvaged windows. You Save thousands $$$$$$$$
SIPs - Structural Insulated Panel system. normally used for food factories and coolstores. Ive been building with this for years. No frame required. No timber and no nails. Fabulous insulation. - resists and shields EMF frequencies . Built in 5 days by one person. (except for Baz helping me lift up the roof panels!)
If you find my videos useful, perhaps you might consider chipping in for some gas money? Im too unwell to work now but I really want to keep bringing you these useful videos www.buymeacoffee.com/tinyhous...

Newsflash! - Ive just had my first ever condensation issue on one of my builds. lady owner is obsessed with houseplants- turns on heater at 4 pm each afternoon, waters her 30 plants, cooks dinner, has a long shower and goes to bed at 10pm. By the early hours of the morning the windows are running with condensation. I wonder why? 🙄🤐🤐🤭🤭

Thanks so much loving your vids mate! Im thinking of using 100mm eps for an A-Frame build (8m equilateral triangle) and was wondering if you think its possible to stack them horizontally for the walls fixing them to the internal A-Frame truss? Also was wondering how you would go about flushing the internal joints so you can paint to give it a normal plaster board look? Cheers Paul

@t.h.o.r. 4 месяца назад

I do my trailer builds horisontally because far less joins. On a triangle it wouldnt make any difference in number of joins except the joins down low would have more compression from the weight. Prepare for every joiner base channel and corner lashing to be custom made though. I roller paint the inside of mine with flat interior housepaint and it looks just like painted drywall I just ignore the joins- you dont see them unless you are really looking

For the steel base, what would you use for a 6 x 2.5m cabin that is mostly static but also able to be mounted to a trailer and moved whenever needed? The trailer is very solid but narrower than the cabin at about 1.8m wide. The land I'm on is not my own, so everything I build needs to be moveable. Thanks

@aaroninwood67 Год назад

Thanks for your reply. Can you tell me what surfaces you glue and what areas you use sealant on please? Thanks

@t.h.o.r. Год назад

everything gets glued except for the between panel joins in static builds. On trailers and truck bodies I use builders foam on all the intermediate panel joins. That makes the entire build incredibly rigid but you only have 15 mins to get it right, On a long traler with 5 or six vertical joins you can be 10 mm over as the joints swell at the end. I seal when its finished all the exterior joins. I leave drain holes in the bottom channel. 6mm - every metre.

Hi. Really enjoying your knowledge and experience! You also present your videos really well. In regards to the panels what adhesive do you use for bonding them together - and also where do you get the corner flashings, and top and bottom u channels which secure the panels into place from? Many thanks from Christchurch.

@t.h.o.r. 10 месяцев назад

In Christchurch you have a branch of R&B Aluminium they are the best alloy prices available. Ask for their CoolRoom catalogue. They are in Dakota Crescent out at Wigram. The most cost effective bonding is Bostik Gold wallboard cement- but for sealing I use Bostik grey urathane. get them by the box and they are really cheap.

@aaroninwood67 Год назад

Hi, excellent build, thanks for sharing. Can you tell me what type of fasteners you used to screw the roof down to the wall panels and did you rivet the wall panels together at the vertical seam where the meet? Thanks

@t.h.o.r. Год назад

Hi Aaron, I use neoprene washered galvanised roofing screws 25 mm longer than the roof thickness at 400mm ctrs The roof is bonded onto the top plate with adhesive too. I hide wall join rivets wherever I can - under window surrounds and door frames. On a small cabin I don't bother but with Tiny homes on trailers I make every effort I can to get as many in as I can without them showing. I do them inside up to bench top level and often outside on the back wall where they wont be noticed. Ive built about 30 now and never had a issue with leaks or cracks.

@xavieraymi9578 10 месяцев назад

congratulations for the work!! I wanted to ask you... from what I understand, the panel is held by the glue and by specific screws only in the base channel every 15 cm, since at the joints between each panel it is already prepared. Does that support the entire structural weight of the 2.50 cm of the panels and the entire roof? There is no support such as a wooden or steel structure? Thank you very much and best regards. Xavier

@t.h.o.r. 10 месяцев назад

absolutely correct. although, with transport trailers and caravan type trailer builds I close the rivit gap to 100mm and use 4.8mm rivets. sometimes, on a 7m+ enclosed trailer, Ill include a steel hoop frame around the rear door hole. Wherever I have a window hole or door i double rivet inside and out where panel joins intersect window holes. It's hidden by window trims. Oh- and two people can hang out on the roof with sunloungers and pina coladas anywhere. no stepping from nail line to nail line.

I run my power under the floor and just bring it up through 200mm of wall to the power points in a short conduit. You can bring power up through cabinets and lights and switches can be done through hollow interior walls. some folk do it all outside on the back wall in a conduit at and feed it through where needed. Yes, you can drill through the foam core using a plastic conduit with a serrated end turned in a drill -but it wanders inside the wall on long runs.

Ive seen this used on coastal buildings. the bottom seal into the channel is vital as salty water dribbles down the wall and is constantly trying to get in to the bottom channel. aside from that you should find it amazing. Im in my cabin on day 3 and we have an ex tropical cyclone lashing rain and wind from all quarters- Its warm and toasty in here.

@@t.h.o.r. on video The blacking area on meal was possible mold or dirt. It's also a used product. I previously had a pallet reclaim business and that was one thing we looked for. Same for insulation and paper/ foam product. This build turned out beauty and well done.bI enjoyed the video even with my off and on signal in my area.

Ahh yes - thankyou- the roof panels had a mossy black growth on them- I scrubbed the entire build with sugar soap and then it was sanded and spot primed and painted. most of it was clean as it used to be a honey processing room. I use Chlorine Dioxide to treat my water and often use it in spring cleaning and clothes washing blankets and things showing black mould like life jackets or damp tents
