Yes is frustrating, also to hear him say he thinks floor insulation is not important. He has a perfect opportunity to lay hemp wool fibre between the joists hammocked on a moisture barrier. Maybe £800 in additional materials for peace of mind and more thermal efficiency. Missed opportunity!
Hey man! Loving the series so far! However, (and I dont mean any harm), I do think you need to be a little bit more organized. Especially now that you put yourself on a deadline. I understand tho bcus you’re doing all this by yourself. But an example would be a dedicated workspace. Instead of a balancing act over open joist, maybe you could’ve laid down subflooring temporarily to have a cleaner and more stable place to work. Just my two cents, either way you’re doing a great job! It’s motivational to see someone building their own home by themselves. AnyWho, keep up the great work. Can’t wait to see the results!
Hi mate, as someone who has built their own home by themselves I know what a challenge it can be. Enjoying your content so good luck with your build and I look forward to seeing the project as it progresses. Keep warm out there during these winter months!
Guys/Chris, can you please explain me how he fixed the wood base unto the foundations made out of concrete? I watched from the beginning but could not find anything. Surely there has to be some sort of fixage made between the wood base and the foundations....
I went back and watched those episodes, if he attached the rim joists to the concrete footings, he didn't show it. I don't think that sort of attachment is required everywhere, although it is where I live (Los Angeles, California) because we are in an earthquake zone
@andrethib does this make structurally? I mean with some high wind I would not be able to sleep. I am no engineer or architect so difficult for me to understand tbh
@@redegliangmar1 - houses (even tiny houses) are pretty heavy, if the wind is strong enough to push it off of the foundation, I'm sure you have other worse problems. I'm no engineer, but I imagine that he will be fine unless the ground starts shaking. that notwithstanding, I'm with you, if it was my house, I would "bolt" it (as we say here in Southern California)
@andrethib good point, I was thinking the same....I will build a shed in the few months (after the cold months) and will definitely bolt it. It just makes sense to me... Take care
Have you asked any of your suppliers if they want to partner with you and you mention the brand name and your impressions of the produce? I know George Dunnett has done this with his building projects on his channel.
I’ve got a mate that has his house in Insurance Sylvania and he doesn’t pay for electricity or heating since he invested and bought Canadian solar or Longi both of them seem to be very cost-effective in the long and he can control his heating from London , which is where he’s based at right now trust me, he is not going to be staying in London for too long…
He's putting the ply then some PIR insulation and then either 18 or 22m tongue & groove chipboard flooring, or at least that's what he said in the video. This is probably because he doesn't want to cut it all between the joists which is fine but I would have thought he'll lose a lot of head room inside in order to achieve the correct insulation value. It will be more thermally efficient thought as there will be less thermal bridging. I would have still put some in between though.
Why would you not put a Vapor barrier down? You talk about damp proofing but with soil sitting so close to the flooring you are literally asking for trouble. This structure won’t last more than a year before you will have serious issues with damp/moisture. You should seek some professional advice, I understand the desire to build something yourself but you will cause nothing but issues down the line without proper guidance.
So what this is, is a comment, if you don't know what a comment is, it's basically a block of text with a silly message and the important thing to remember is that you only have a limited number of letters and now the reason for that is you don't want the comment too long because it will cost you time to write it, trust me.
Omg dude so lost........for one thing that building will rot from floor up zero vapor barrier....and for two you start the plywood in the middle of the building that way when you get the the wall and it's not square you can cut the plywood to fit the unsquare wall......if you start the plywood outa square against the wall you already have messed up the entire job site floor system
thanks for watching! Subscribe if you are new and as always, whatever you are upto... just keep going! you got this!
I think a vapor barier on the ground wouldn’t be a bad idea…..
A vapour barrier under your ply deck and on top of the timber carcass, i would recommend.
You’re a mad man not putting a vapour barrier down.

If you want something in life this is the number 1 channel on TH-cam
Congrats on 40k Chris 🎉💪 Keep smashing it
Hi Chris,
Quick question, how comes you haven’t put membrain on the dirt? It may get weeds which could move up in to the house

I think CT1 sealant and adhesive or OB1 multi-surface sealant and adhesive would be a better than silicone for attaching your skylight windows.

Daily vids, nice one brother

Real deadline or youtube deadline to move in
As a former London financier how did you get the skills to build your home.

where is your floor insulation? without it your tiny house will be colder

Get some framing gloves, they are fingerless on the index and middle finger, so you won’t twist a finger off putting screws in.
Why not use OSB as your subfloor?
Well, looks like we get a 31 days of Christmas on this channel.
You have a lot to do by 2024 which means a video a day xD Good luck good sir.
Why no insulation in the floor???😢
Clean
Man be careful, your going to break your ankles 😂
Modern building material, don’t like temperature less than 5 degrees. It’s such a pain when you want to work!
Why don't you get a labourer. This is ridiculous

straight asmr video would be better, the actual sounds from the build. No voice over required
