Awesome series! As a carpenter that can no longer work due to health problems this series had been an absolute joy to watch..along with all your other videos. Keep em coming. 👍 Great work.
The return of the airing cupboard, could be a trend setter, Robin, greener than a tumble dryer
Thanks Robin. The Big Build has been a great series to follow!
Hi Robin. haven't tuned in to 'the Big Build' for a few weeks now and its certainly progressed since I last tuned in when you were still waiting for all the plumbing to finish before you could crack on with the plasterboard. looks great now I must say. I always have so many questions but what tends to happen is that as you move along through the video you tend to answer most of my questions before the video is over. Which is what makes your videos so instructive to watch. Thanks Robin.
Perfect timing as I'm working on skirtings and architraves in my home today (just stopped for a coffee) for the first time ever, got the confidence to try it myself now in no small part to your good self and all the effort which goes into these videos.
I find the hardest thing about fitting skirting is getting up off the floor! 😁😁
I've just had ours done
The doors are getting fitted tomorrow so I'm to be eagerly waiting to see how long they take and how they turn out 😁
Measure once, cut twice.
Love this series Robin. I've enjoyed every single episode. Thanks for taking the time to make them and share your knowledge and skills.
Thanks Richard
Very nice Robin! Thorough attention to detail throughout. The client must be thrilled!
You’ve helped me get better at DIY so much! Thanks a lot.
Looking forward to seeing this all come together with the 2nd fix work lads. What a series this has been - a journey!
Great video Robin , thanks house is looking great !! well done
Awesome would be great to see the bathroom panelling being fitted please
6:37 Where do you get your bathroom wall boards from Robin? Cheers
For the ensuite, is there anything going over those two windows to the sides of the shower?
Lookin' Good! BrackenWood 😄
Would changing the door opening direction not affect the position of the light switches ?
Why didn’t we get to see the plastering stage? Or have I missed something?
Thanks
Treating your stages like a process makes it all much easier to organize. Don't fix one door at a time, fix them all in one go, much better. I like to do one pilot/test run on an out of sight situation, when doing sets of fixings.
cant wait
I would have thought all of the door openings would have already been decided as it would have dictated which side the light switch is on; nobody wants to reach around a door to find the light switch. Am I missing something?
Love the content. Hopefully you have something else lined up for when the big build is complete.
Your correct. As an electrician i want to know exactly which side to install my cables and back boxes during 1st fix. Of course the client can change their minds later but this would be a real pain for us.
Robin. Is there a video with the floor plan of the big build, it seems this is a 2 bed property but I may be wrong.
Hi Robin, surely you would check with the client which way you want the door to swing before you second fix, as the door could potentially be against the light switch, great videos by the way 😀
Did you watch this video? The first thing Robin says is he walks round with the client deciding which way the door opens and marks the hinge side. The electrician puts the switch to suit not the other way round.
@@ericmcrae7758 but he said that the electrician had already been in at the start, didn't he?
@@ricos1497 Looks like the spark had already done 1st fix
Hi Robin, what brand are the bathroom panels you're using here? Cheers
Did Roger do the plumbing or was he busy?
Whoever did that pipework, it looks amazing 😲
Roger and plumbing... I'm not sure he is too into heat pumps. Maybe he is changing his tune after his exchanges with heatgeeks.
All needs lagging now?
Do doors open towards the wall or towards the middle of the room? Are there any regs or specifications that say which way it should open? I don't mean the door opening inside the room or outside towards the hall but rather which way inside the room
Towards the wall, 👍🔨🇮🇪
Hi Robin. Please can you tell me what brand/type of shower board you're using please? There's so many different brands and types out there and If really value your recommendation. Thanks.
Hi David, it's Multipanel, it's a good stable product and good value for money
@@ukconstruction thanks Robin. I'll take a look at that.
Good evening Robin Clevite my name is Matt Cape Town
What no bezeless downlight?
I'm not specifying the electrics it outside of my contract
Where did you get your toolbelts from, thanks
Diamondback.
Tftools.co.uk do them
They're an American brand called Diamondback. You can create your own set up by buying different pouches, belts, and braces etc but, they're not cheap. Looking at a UK site the price for the pouch Robin's wearing on his left is £112 , braces £128, belt £132, and the small pouch on his right hip £102. I can't make out what hammer loop he's wearing but, the cheapest would take the cost of his rig close to £500.
Laminated boards for bathroom walls? How does that work? Or is that going to be covered up?
I would like to know about the waterproofing/bathroom stage on this build. Somebody else mentioned plastering. Even uncut, unedited videos are fine - with a bit of a voice over
Finally I made it 1:44 and 2:08 and 2:38 😂😂😂
