I was stoked when it was all up there and stood back to see it. Really like the colour. Cant wait to see it with the windows in. When I say designer.....its just my buddy who is a graphic designer. If you are interested, let me know on Instagram and I'll send you over his details. He is very good at what he does and his prices are good. 🤙🧱
Like that cladding grate choice in colour looks smart. I still on the bloody roof on my job. Carnt wait till its done to crack on with the other stuff. 👍
Looks great brother man. Like you said nice contrast and I almost guarantee when trimmed and fitted you be glad you went with light color. I have so much respect for you and have a blast watching these
Great to see you back on the house. Glass wool between the uprights on next one (I'm thinking more about the insects). One thing when you lay out to the garden etc. around the house, think where you are going to foot your ladders to get up there for any maintenance. Dumb question, what sort of plumb fittings are you going for, and what kind of pipe - could be worth s quick video discussion. Look forward to next one.
@@RodianBuilds did you order yours direct from Marley? Assuming this is the Marley Cedral lap ive been looking at. Trying to find more info on the trims around windows etc
Should have laid an off cut of clad on lead from top to bottom before fixing to keep cladding boards off flashing... slip out when done to create drop line as within couple years will certainly be all green with algi growing! Malc's in Perth WA
Good choice of colour, I have done a double dormer in anthracite grey to blend in with my dark tiles it is a massive full width dormer and would have stuck out like a sore thumb if it was clad in any other colour. your dormers look better as they stand out and show the design off really well, the completed look will be very smart 👍
I like the cladding choice, looks classy! i would do a 45 degree or similar shamfer on the lead but just my 2Pence. great to see progress again. i wish i had that fire place of yours.
Lovely looking house! Just wondering what keeps the water put where the weatherboards meet at the corners? In the US, NZ & AUS corner soakers that are weather tight are used, this just appears to butt up to some decorative trim and does not look weather tight? Also wouldn't it be better to have the building wrap overlap from top to bottom like a weatherboard?
Nice colour 👍🏻 will help if you use the same material / colour elsewhere on the outside of the building if possible 🤔 agree would do something with the lead flashing even a chamfered edge. If you go with the radius would be tempted to go for a scallop along the bottom would look real fancy 😁 good to see the house build on the go again👏👍🏻🏴
Very hand info, what kind of cladding are you using? Is it a PVC type material? I was thinking of replacing the cement tiles on my dormers with a similar product and would be interested to know what you used. Thanks again
Looks really good nice cuts on pitch can be quite fiddly. I normally fit soakers instead of your skeleton flashing don’t like to see to much lead but still a nice job👍
Looks good, just wondering how the airflow will work as you siliconed at the top of the cladding, not a criticism just genuine inquiry for when I fit my cladding.
Rodian, have i missed something. Are there still two windows to go into the upstairs bathroom. You were going to leave that tiling but you may have changed your mind....as you occasionally do! Cladding looks very smart.
Looks great, really like the colour against the tiles. Did you mention where you purchased the cladding from please? I may have missed it but I am interested in cladding part of my house. Thanks
Hi Rodian, love the colour used on these dormers. I’m doing a loft conversion with three dormers and red plain tile roof. What make and colour is the cladding? Thanks
Love your vids so I don't want to be a troll. It's hard to see how you have done things on the planning shot across the front of the dormer. But the bottom soaker looks off. It looks as though wind could force water into that corner. I could probably be wrong, but I'd advise having another look at it
You probably won't have any problems, however I always worry about doing long continuous soakers. It means that any rain from the rest off your roof/from your dormers has the potential to track across and get in. Individual soakers would be better but may cost a bit more. Something worth considering. Top vid tho
Glad to c you didnt go for that cheap hollow soffit boards for the cladding. I would have gone for anthracite grey. Would look even better if the boards were not levelled out, but kept at the same angle of the roof. Must say colour co-ordination is a bit off. A good choice of gutter colour is needed to balance things out a bit. I never use silicone, as the years pass by, it will attract dust and make the job look cheap. I would gone for a trim of some sort.
I really didn't want to go with the cheap cladding. I was very tempted with an anthracite grey but decided to take the chance with what I put up. The good thing is, if I change my mind in the future, its just a few screws and I can change the colour! I could always add a bit of trim no worries 🤙😁
Thanks for replying. Good idea with the screws. Really rodian, i do do a hell of a lot of fascia/soffit/guttering works. Try your best never to use silicone where it is visible. It looks cheap and there are other ways around it.
I didn't actually build the dormers. I had carpenters in to build up the roof trusses. I have done dormers in the past so I could do a video in the future 😁🤙🧱
Apprenticeships are most definitely worth it! I learnt so much doing mine and getting my level 3 NVQ as well was massively worth the 3 years I put in! 🧱🤙
Hi Rodian. Great channel! I’ve watched a lot of your videos in the last week of so as I’m going to be doing some pointing and other brickwork myself soon. I left a comment on one of your other videos (“BRICKLAYING FOR BEGINNERS [E.P 6 MIXING LIME MORTAR” dated 15 Oct 2019) because (if possible) I’d like to use lime mortar (as it is, it seems, to me, more in keeping with the age (Victorian) of my house and I don’t want to use anything too strong. I’d be very grateful if you could advise, please. Here is my original comment: “I’m confused. Is the mortar used in this video just for demonstration purposes or is it what would be used for a real job? It sounds like this mortar takes a long time to go hard but that it is more appropriate for the type of job I am facing (repointing some areas of my Victorian era house). Can anyone advise, please?” In return, I’ve got a suggestion for a slogan for your channel/merchandise: how about “Throw in the Trowel!”)? Or, if you think that sounds negative, how about “Never Throw in the Trowel!”? Cheers.
Hi Rodian, been watching a lot of your videos lately. I think they are great. I have a small garden wall that needed to be knocked down and rebuilt so that's what started me off watching them. I have done half of it so far and am giving you some of the credit for it looking so good!!! Reason I am writing this is because me and my girlfriend were in London on Sunday and had a few hours to waste so I suggested the Brick museum you mentioned in one of your videos. All I can say is this really odd noise came out of her mouth and was directed at the pavement. It was a spitting version of FUCK OFF!!! So we didn't go.
Terrible job. Damp proof membrane is installed the wrong way. You installed it top down but should be bottom up. Any water getting behind your cladding will hit top sheet and run into bottom sheet and then get trapped behind the damp proof barrier. You should go back and redo the job.
Tried tell him when he was doing roof.. will cost him in future. He capped his felt over the ridge aswell no air flow. But hey. No insulation behind cladding. Real cluster fuck.
looking good great to see some movement on the build , really miss these house build videos .
I'm happy to be able to get more done! I've missed making the videos 😁🤙
Mate you are true inspiration.
Not only do you help people to learn bricklaying and now house tip ideas.
Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the love.
Looking good buddy, nice to have an update on the house 🤙
Cheers Glen. There will be more to come in the coming weeks for sure 🤙
BLWP. Loving that colour Rodian, really sets it off 👌🏼 . Love the “me and my designer “ at the end . I wish we had a designer 😟🧱👍🏼

Rodian Builds . Looks cool 😎 and thanks pal , I’ll be in touch 🧱👍🏽
Looking great and bang on with the insect screen.
Last thing I want is a bunch of wasps nesting in my dormers 😂🤙
Really nice Rodian the colours perfect 👍🏻
Thank you! Cheers! 😁🤙
Your house is really pretty. Every detail is nice because you put so much love and care into it. Great job from a great man. :)
Thank you so much Jonny! Its coming together nicely! 😁🤙
Like that cladding grate choice in colour looks smart. I still on the bloody roof on my job. Carnt wait till its done to crack on with the other stuff. 👍
I feel your pain bro😭 Trust me it will come to an end! 🤙
@@RodianBuilds hope so lol I near the end but the end is so long 😂😂😂👍
Good job Rodian, house is looking nice
Cheers mate. Its coming along. Things should start to move along nicely now 😁🤙
Looks great brother man. Like you said nice contrast and I almost guarantee when trimmed and fitted you be glad you went with light color. I have so much respect for you and have a blast watching these
That composite looks well mate I wouldn't of thought of that colour
Looks lovely mate
Cheers buddy, I was happy with the outcome 😁🤙
When do you start the inside ? Happy to help plastering wise if needed
Looks good. The color differences work well together.
Love it , well done mate
Looks good Rodian
Thanks Geoff 😁🤙 Hope you and the family are well?

Just about to do the entire front of my house in this. Looks spot on.
Fantastic product! I loved how it came out! 😁🤙
@@RodianBuilds did you order yours direct from Marley? Assuming this is the Marley Cedral lap ive been looking at. Trying to find more info on the trims around windows etc
superb m8 the cladding is great get a length of small quadrant to cover the screw holes stay safe
I was thinking of ripping down a length of cladding and covering it over, maybe pilot drill some holes and nail it up. I'll see what I can do 🤙
Should have laid an off cut of clad on lead from top to bottom before fixing to keep cladding boards off flashing... slip out when done to create drop line as within couple years will certainly be all green with algi growing! Malc's in Perth WA
Looks wonderful!
Thanks. I cant wait for the windows to go in now! 😁🤙
Rodian Builds I left you a question yesterday on your video about build a wall, it’s part of your beginner course.
Good choice of colour, I have done a double dormer in anthracite grey to blend in with my dark tiles it is a massive full width dormer and would have stuck out like a sore thumb if it was clad in any other colour. your dormers look better as they stand out and show the design off really well, the completed look will be very smart 👍
Looks ace tbh Rodian. Enoying another int he house build series :)
Thanks Mark 😁🤙

Thanks bud😁 I was a little hesitant but very happy with how it turned out. I'm looking forward to lighting the first fire in it 😁🤙
Providing everything is plumb you should be able to just add the same amount to each board. Saves levelling across and measuring each one. Nice work
Absolute love it please make more house build vids i love it!!
Thanks Jordan😁 Hopefully the house build vids will be coming back to somewhat of a normal upload schedule 😁🤙
dormers look ace!
As someone whose done 6 dormers on one roof, yours look great, nice one job 👍
Thanks 👍 I was pretty happy with how they turned out🤙

I was thinking exactly the same thing. Not sure what but I could definitely incorporate the colour somewhere else. 🤙😁
Looks good.
Thanks buddy 😁🤙
Nice job , looks as if they grew there ,I bet the price has gone up ,since the lock down .🤔👍
Looks good..
Very hand info, what kind of cladding are you using? Is it a PVC type material? I was thinking of replacing the cement tiles on my dormers with a similar product and would be interested to know what you used. Thanks again
Hi Rodian looks great, what size eaves did you go with?
Looks really good nice cuts on pitch can be quite fiddly. I normally fit soakers instead of your skeleton flashing don’t like to see to much lead but still a nice job👍
Looks good, just wondering how the airflow will work as you siliconed at the top of the cladding, not a criticism just genuine inquiry for when I fit my cladding.
Are you not supposed to have an air vent at the top of cladding to allow airflow
Rodian, have i missed something. Are there still two windows to go into the upstairs bathroom. You were going to leave that tiling but you may have changed your mind....as you occasionally do! Cladding looks very smart.
What are your landscaping plans building a pool would make interesting video
Looks great, really like the colour against the tiles. Did you mention where you purchased the cladding from please? I may have missed it but I am interested in cladding part of my house. Thanks

Also it looked like you had dry ridge, if so they do a nice block end ridge for your first ridge that looks awesome
Ignore that about soakers, on another vid it looked like you did do individual soakers. My bad

Why haven’t you insulated the dormers
What do you think of the Fortex Cladding ?
I was think of maybe the misty grey colour for my Dormers
Please don't be afraid to be honest
How much did you charge for doing these?? Day rate or m2
Is there insulation behind that cladding?
Does anyone know what colour this is? Hardie Plank soft green??
What kind of planks u used? Is it Hardieplank?
Exactly that! Really good stuff, highly recommend!🤙🧱
Can you do a dormer build video ?? Very nice work btw keep it up love the vids
I didn't actually build the dormers. I had carpenters in to build up the roof trusses. I have done dormers in the past so I could do a video in the future 😁🤙🧱
@@RodianBuilds I thought you did em. never mind then. Nice work. Cheers
Also any help on apprenticeship? Is it worth it?

You have done the lead wrong to the sides
Terrible job. Damp proof membrane is installed the wrong way. You installed it top down but should be bottom up. Any water getting behind your cladding will hit top sheet and run into bottom sheet and then get trapped behind the damp proof barrier. You should go back and redo the job.

Hope that’s his own house, wouldn’t cut it for a paying customer. So much wrong with the roof
Look okay but wood would look better on a old house like that
