Super useful!
The big problem with this very nasty plant is that the root system spreads for a number of metres, and walls, drains etc are no obstacle to its progress.
Couldn't you have fitted some wood/platerwork to the ceiling where the cracking beam was to cover just the top and allow the beam to keep moving?
Love the idea of fitting the windows inside the ventilation openings so you can still see some stone work
Love the beam that looks like it has had pulleys on.
Which video do you cover using a private building inspector in?
@@philtowle4683 Hi I’m not sure, but have a look through
Very interesting.
hi , if you are building of a slab inside the barn what thickness is it and what thickness is insulation . was it a consideration to put a strip footing to build internal walls off. cheers Mike
@@jasgillingham Hi Floor slab would be 100mm. The insulation would be relevant to your SAP but most cases min 100mm. Yes a strip found 450x225mm for an internal wall. We thickened the slab here. 225mm deep and 450mm wide
v good explanation--cheers
Thanks 🙏
So what was the final outcome? I'm in the "control" phase. I really don't know if the crowns are in hibernation or really killed, but it's late spring and i only see small stems. I'm year 3 into my treatment.
The shoots will have emerged by now, I would expect some small ones to appear. Treat them again.
Really useful. What about the landing (above the staircase) joists? Does that rest on anything? I’ve got a similar middle structural wall but it isn’t clear what the landing joists rest on to.
Thanks. In this case the landing bears on the wall below. But is often ‘trimmed’ off double joists. You should lift the boards and check.
I just bought a house, and the wall separating the bathroom and second bedroom had a large crack down it. I took a little plaster off and found it was blocks, further investigation I found the whole wall was blocks and lay straight onto floorboards, I don't think it's load baring, can't be good to have a wall lay onto wooden floor, under the bathroom is the dining room, its a nice size room too.
Common in old houses to have brick or block walls on upper floors. Correct not good. They should have doubled joists under the wall. It won’t be load bearing and it has no support. Good luck
Solid wall houses and PIR boards aren’t a great idea. Damp forms behind the PIR board. There’s an argument that a 2 foot thick solid wall (dry with no damp) is not as cold as the current theory suggests. Either historic England or SPAB did a paper on it and found that the heat loss is less than thought. But if course EPC doesn’t consider this at all…
Thanks for your comments/ advice. From my experience the issue is interstitial condensation, which occurs in the wall at some location. Eg 18 deg internal surface temp and say 2 external surface temp. By adding insulation it should move that point further outward.
For the sake of losing another inch you could add insulated PB over the first layer of insulation. That would give 50mm.
I agree. When I did this strangely insulated plasterboards were silly money. So it was a means to an end.
SO I went to the basement and I have beams running | | | | | and the wall I wanna take down above runs like "|" not like "---"...I should be good right?
Thanks. If the wall is running in the same direction as joists, then they are not resting/being supported by the wall.
I have a three storey house. I want to remove a wall on the middle floor. The joists above and below run in different directions. It seems to be supporting the joists above but the wall doesn’t continue down to the ground floor and appears to be built on top of the floor boards? Is this likely to be load bearing?
Hello Keith Very common for the first floor wall not to be directly above the ground floor. Often a 150-200mm off set. If the joists at FF are sitting on the Ground floor wall. Then that wall is load bearing. If the joists to top floor are not sitting on middle wall. Then is presume that wall is not load bearing. Draw a sketch of each floor on graph paper, use 1 square as 1 metre. Check the directions of the joists as I suggest and draw the wall that they sit on ‘thicker’. You may find you get a better picture of what walls are then load bearing. Hope that helps.
Helpful thank you 🎉
Welcome.
Nice video ,well explained ,when you get chance show everything is measured ,how accro props are installer and then RSJ the whole procedure Thanks
If there is knotweed on the neighboring property, it’ll soon be on your property. You have to get it all.
is it always this simple or can there be exceptions i have a wall downstairs between my kitchen and dinning room the joists run the same way as the wall and the wall runs from the front of the house to the back but the first half whitch is the wall in the lounge goes from floor all the way to the attic but the half i want to remove only goes to the dining room ceiling and its the only wall in the house that stops at the ceiling and doesnt go up to the attic so i would say its not a load bearing wall but wondered if there was any exceptions also the house was built in 1935
If a wall has a similar wall directly above, then the wall below is carrying the load of the wall above.
Where is your source for this quote?
Amazon
some say all solid walls that are Perpendicular to the rafters/trusses are load bearing, whether they were designed to be or not, because of the structure settling over time, is this the case please?
Hi difficult to say to be honest. I’m this video, I’m explaining the easiest way to determine by way of noting floor joist bearing directly on a wall.
Absolutely great insight into the project
Thank you
@@mikewoodspropertychannel We're in North Wales, with a similar project (much smaller scale). We have around a dozen arrow slits, yours is the 1st project I've found with a practical solution to glazing and insulating effectively. Could you recommend any resources or any other examples that would be good to look into? Many thanks
Thanks for the advice, much needed cans appreciated.
And not cans 🤪
Nice footwear
😆 not the best for site, but it was a nice warm day and I wasn’t ‘working’. Thanks.
HI Mike, Loving these Barn videos as I'm about to take on a similar project in France. Quick question. Our barn is on a gradient away from main property with the Mains drain. Will I have to use a bump to get the waste up? Also, with regards to insulation, do you leave a cavity so the insulation doesn't touch the actual stone work? Cheers and keep up the good work
Hi, Sorry for the delay.....If you haven't resolved. You will have to pump the foul waste if the Main is above the property, alternately you could instal a septic tank, providing you have the area to drain. Re, Insulation, ideally leave a 50mm gap. Min 25mm
what if the floor is concrete? and ceiling is concrete?
Thanks Highly likely to be load bearing because concrete floors use all walls for support.
Really enjoyed watching your barn project! Ty
Thank you very much ❤
not always true
The two walls are probably load bearing. As the wall running parallel. Is supporting the stair stringers. So I would speak to a structural engineer before remove that wall
Thanks. But in this case the stairs was parallel to the wall that extended to the rear wall. The stair was trimmed onto that wall, not the front section.
Hi Mike, what if there is no wall upstairs?
Hi Sam. If the wall below support the floor, then it’s ‘load bearing’
I absolutely love your enthusiasm Mike. Your clearly not a man that gives up easy ✊️ Greetings From Ireland ☘️
Awesome, thanks for your response.
What if the joists don’t have a join in them? So the joist looks like it’s running from one end of the house to the other? Would the wall underneath then be a load bearing wall?
Correct Samantha, if the joist are sitting on the wall, they are being supported.
@@mikewoodspropertychannel we have just had the wall knocked out and been told by the builders that it isn’t load bearing? This is why I was asking because I can’t understand how the joists will hold everything above now the wall is gone?
@@samanthamealing7337 strange! If the joist are being supported by a wall and you remove the wall, they lose their support. It could be that the single joist is sufficient size wise enough to span from end to end. As long as you had Building Control to oversee and they approved it. Then happy days.
How olds the barn?
Hi Approx 180 yrs
Excellent result
Thank you very much ❤
Brilliant Mike-Well done
Thank you very much ❤
Science, Japanese knotweed is the most concentrated source of resveratol we've ever found! East Asians, it's a perennial vegetable and good medicine. Westerners, it's evil the only good knotweed is dead knotweed (mindless shrieking). If only there was some way we could learn from other cultures.
car battery acid kills it italso kills ivy in hours
How’s it looking a year later?
Wonderful video. Thanks a lot!
We are just about to exchange on our sale of house and our buyer has asked for a report to say our kitchen / diner wall removed by previous owners had left the property structurally sound , there was no certificate obtained when work was done 17 years ago although we know the builder who did the work and he has confirmed the wall was not load bearing and he installed a steel anyway as likes to be thorough , do you envisage any problems coming back from report ? Property is mid terrace
Hi Thanks for your message. I think that your builder installed a beam (that wasn’t needed) will prompt the question - is the steel beam the correct size! To enable the sale to proceed you may want to engage a Structural Engineer to provide a report. From what you say, it seems it will be positive. And it will facilitate the sale. Good luck.
@@mikewoodspropertychannel yes we have agreed for a report to be done by a structural engineer at our own cost as a good will gesture , I was just a little stressed at hearing this at such a late stage in enquiries , the buyer is an investor and suspect this is needed for insurance purposes, Is the work needed for report very invasive as the beam is finished with a plastered bulkhead ?
@@Thevoiceofreason84 I would do whatever to get the sale. It may well be the purchasers surveyor! If they can determine the beam isn’t load bearing, then they may not need to open up to check the size of the beam.
@@mikewoodspropertychannel thank you for taking the time to reply fingers crossed no issues , from the few opinions I’ve had on the matter most agreed should be fine 🤞
@@Thevoiceofreason84 you’re very welcome. Happy to help
Those walls are not solid stone but random rubble walls with an inner core that can be of very variable quality. Compared to others, the quality of the wall construction looks good. I'm a structural engineer and do lots of surveys for barns as part of the planning application.
John I agree. To the novice they are ‘solid’ as opposed to modern ‘cavity’ wall. To the pro’s yes random or dressed stone, outer skin, random inner skin with loose ‘rubble’ infill.
Yeh this is literally my house... thank you. I won't be knocking it through then.
You’re very welcome
You can knock through, you will need to instal a lintel or an RSJ depending on the size of the opening. Speak to Building Control or a Structural Engineer
Great update. Loving the arrow slat windows.
Have you any further videos on this project
Hi Yes uploading this weekend
Good to see you are doing a professional job. As a builder myself with 36 years experience oddley I have never done a Barn conversion. Obviously there are no foundations to the barn, how is the main structure secured for years to come? And what about a DPC to external walls, Is this just injected?
Thanks. No Dpc in outer existing stone skin- no need. We have constructed a timber frame, off new slab. (Non load bearing)
Loving this mate. It's great to walk through these exciting projects with you with your level of passion for the detail. Looking forward to more progress logs and the finished article!
Thank you Check out my channel for more vids
Hi Mike, great video series. Can you do a breakdown of the cost in the project or maybe future projects
Thanks. This refurb was £53,000. Will definitely do in future. Thanks for commenting.
beautiful place
Thank you.
