Reminds me very much of the film “Holes” 🤣🤣 can’t wait to see the concrete pours!
Things are happening! Thanks for the update!
Recommend making your datum lines 1 meter above finish floor level (FFL)
Self sufficient in sand and Dairy,you can have your home grown cheese SANDwich.😂
Wow great stuff going on there!
I was thinking more of the barn would remain, but as i understand just the steels as a frame and thus the shape will remain and all else will be new build?
Impressive job to take on by the two of you (as without a contractor).
That's definitely coming on well!
I personally really like the groundwork stage on my jobs!
You are going to miss that roof with the weather we seem to be getting!
That's a Lute rather than a Rake👍🏼
Or is it a spazel??
Try a can of east start on Humpty Dumpty even with low compression it will work fine once you get it started. I’ve got a 3 Ton agricultural forklift with very low compression and it works great once you coax it into life. Once the engine is hot it will re start fine. Look into getting as much insulation into the pool as you can I built a 10M pool 20 years ago at that time there was very little emphasis on insulation. I’ve just extended and re roofed my house and now we are putting 250mm of PIR into the roof. 👍
Great series so far, keep them coming 1
Great work, team 👍
Your doing a great job
Great video as usual.
You've probably already made the decision and ordered them, but we used Foamglas blocks as a slightly cheaper alternative to Thermalblocks for the thermal bridge. But, if you have the height, a single row of 215mm tall thermalite trenching block in a 25mm EPS/XPS sandwich should give you approx the same thermal break as a 65mm row of thermalblock. So you might find it much cheaper and get a better thermal break if you trench block all the way, and then pack 25-50mm insulation sheets either side and tie in with the rest of your insulation?
Love it!
Good luck! Next 5 or so days from video sounds like a real push.
I love the thumbnail
Warning on the "PIR Formwork" around the steels; The aluminium facing will react with the concrete, and put gas bubbles into the touching concrete (from experience). Wrap the "formwork in DPM, taping onto the bottom 20mm of PIR (or use a tissue faced closed cell PIR), and foam any gap underneath. Hopefully someone can advise on if you need to pre-treat the steels covered by the PIR to ensure no moisture/air is trapped (maybe liquid DPM).
Good to know. Perhaps I can just use XPS instead. I'll ask the question to those involved. Cheers.
Below ground I've found XPS to be a good option.
Above ground I use expanded cork board around any steels - might be too late, but if not I'd recommend having a look, put right up against steels and stops any condensation. I also use expanded cork board for junctions of old wall & new when doing extensions / retrofit, works as an expansion joint as well, and handles brick / block meeting timber frame or metal. Comes in several thicknesses - if you give Ty Mawr's technical team a call they can also advise (or Mike Wye & Associates and probably James at Lime Green).
When do you sleep and I bet when you do your dreams are of trenches and sand !!
From someone who is not a builder, it seems crazy that you spent a lot of time sorting out the different materials that you were digging up and leveling everything out, only to dig it up and mix it up again and create what can only be described as the somme in summertime 🤣🤣 ready for concrete pour.
I am sure it will all make sense once the real action starts.
It would have been easier if the dumper hadn’t broken. 😫 Fortunately hardly any soil here so just sand and stone so easy enough to grade in the screener.
Working a small site (or under a roof) can result in quite the game of Towers Of Hanoi, to reference the old puzzle and common programming demo. Something is always in the way or underneath what you need to build on.
In a similar fashion to the whole concrete recycling effort, we’ve done acres of industrial yards where rather than dig up poor soil and haul it away, only to import new foundational soils, we’ve dug some huge pits and basically flipped entire 20 acre plots upside down like an inverted layer-cake… same amount of soils to move, but not having to truck it in and out made it more economical. Technically efficient, but by gum, in the middle of the process it looks absurd.
Nice you put a cover over your work area….. 😁
DIGGING FOOTINGS. BIG CONSTRUCTION
Can we have links to trades in the description please?
They're using fibreglass as rebar now. Less corrosive than iron.
Yes, your steels may well sweat inside the house. Best to try to insulate.
We have designed the steel frame to all be on the warm side now which was a huge plus from going for the new application. So it's just those internal steel bases to sort. The condensation risk is getting checked but I think it's all doable. 👍
Spot the concrete water troughs for the farm.
You're going to pour all that concrete without rebar?
So ur concrete can finish werever u want it to within reason! Find ur highest ground level and ur ffl is 150 above that! So then measure down with ur flooring pir blinding etc... id allow 1 to 2 course of blocks below that for ur concrete level
It’s more to do with what blocks and how many courses we are doing as if we use the thermoblocks they are 100 rather than 215 but easy enough to do a course of brick if needed to even it out.
Done a lot of work around scaffolding and stuff.
At 14:30 you pass a sharpish edge at eye level on your corner post.
I'd at least wrap it in bubble wrap and tape as edge on you just don't see these things. Especially if you're paying more attention to where your feet are going.
Winced when I saw it - probably looks a lot worse on video than it is in real life.
That’s a sharp eye you have there. Looks like an old bracket. I too would bang something over that.
100% - that looked like a potential nasty accident that is waiting to happen. There is quite the lack of Health and Safety going on onsite, I hope no one gets injured in this build, especially to any external contractors or the hired help as the liability is quite worrying. I am no major fan of the OTT H&S but not even the basics are being done. Given the whole build is largely reliant on Tim if something happens to him it could have huge impacts. Please guys do at least the basics, it may take up a bit of time but it will be a lot less time than if something goes wrong and all work has to stop.
🫡👊
So the big barn build basically consists of keeping a few bits of metal 😂
Whole thing is odd
More so on this application/design thankfully. I’d take it all down and start over if we had the option. 🙄
There’s not much more to a barn, right?
No his keeping the asbestos roof and rotten wooden walls. To keep his family safe and warm. Unfortunately his having to put a sufficient foundation down aswell. And not allowed to build straight over mud. Damb building regs!
Is humpty really RIP or can it rise from the grave ??? When or if you sleep how many times have you woken up in a cold sweat thinking you've missed something during the day sheep,cows,hens,pigs and family you and jo must be running around in circles 😂😂😂😂😂 i rather see you doing jobs now than me 😂
I hope we can sort him out but he’s having a sabbatical for now. 😂
@@TheRestorationCouple 🤣🤣🤣
Maggie is too camouflaged I think you should paint her a bright colour.
Can you show us more of the building work and not so much explaining. I feel you are telling us similar things each time! Sorry.
Nah I like the explaining so I fully understand what is happening
