Got just a little over a week until I finish my Lvl 2 Carpentry NVQ. And I'll be qualified? I don't believe it. There's things I've seen is this video alone that I've never ever seen in college. Certainly rather nerve-racking.
I haven't forgotten my stepdad telling me "Driving lessons only teach you to pass the test, when you really learn to drive is your first two years on the road. Likewise, learning a trade at college will only get you the qualification. You don't really learn to be a carpenter until your first two years on site,"
This video has just proved the man right 🤣
Hi pal! Yes that’s very true. Are you trying to get on sites at the min as well? You’ll learn a lot more when your on site 100%. Good luck! 💪💪
@@ashleydavenport3794 I've been trying to find site work for a couple months now. But down here on the Isle Of Wight, there's not even enough jobs for all the experienced chippies, let alone the space for newly qualified college students like me 😂
Good to see use of drawing in this vid
Cheers pal, don’t think it was very clear tho but you got the idea 🤣😬👍
Good work fella!
Thanks pal! 👌
must admit i only love joisting when its pozi joists , great video mate
Are they the joists with the metal bracing? Thanks pal! 👌💪
@@ashleydavenport3794 they sure are mate im always doing them on site down in essex
Nice mate! I’ll be honest I think I’ve only done that type of joist like once or twice! Seemed good tho! Like everything though you get good at what your used too! 👌
Great bud as usual mate
What’s the going m2 being paid on site at the moment
Cheers mate, much appreciated! 👌 I’d have to check as just get plot prices but thinks it’s somewhere around £8 don’t quote me on that tho! Haha
Keep up the good work ash r things slowing up in your neck of the woods ?
Cheers mate! We have been busy up to now with Christmas completions but I do feel like it’s starting to slow up slightly. Next year will be interesting I think! How’s your work load holding up?
@@ashleydavenport3794 exactly the same apart from they have stopped pulling anymore footings so that's a bit worrying
Oh god yeah that is worrying. I’m hoping the site I’m on at the min is a build out so be there for another 6 months. Then there’s another job where ground workers have started already. But anything can happen! If they aren’t selling they will soon stop 😬😬
What do you do if it starts hammering it down with rain, I did a set on Monday when it was terrible rain and a couple of days later my ppn gun has a solid red light? What could that be?
Sit in the van on TikTok if there’s nothing else todo on the job! Haha I don’t mind abit of rain but cba if it’s too bad! Mine guns flashing red and green at the min I think that means it needs a service! Haha
Have u ever got your guns really soaked? I dunno why mines got a solid red light
@@bmxerboynathan I try to cover them up if I’m not using them in the rain and stuff. Don’t think I’ve ever had the solid red light of dooom. Maybe an electrical issue? 😬
Are you doing a vid on the stairs
Yes mate gonna try too 👌
How far off the block work do you set your first & last joist at? 50mm
We set the first joist 35mm off the block which is the thickness of the 3x2 we use so it’s set up ready for straps. Hope that helps! Cheers for your comment 💪
Ahh nice 👌🏼 thank you for the reply & great content love watching your videos. Keep it up 👍🏻
What method do you use for marking your hangers?
Do you mean like where the stair well trimmer is? I just measure 800mm off the last joists (not the actual stair well trimmed) so then it runs in for boards. Or 1200mm if it’s 600 centres. I wanted to get a clip of that but brickys had radio on and forgot later on 👎
So you put your trimming joist in place and then measure from the last one?
Night mare getting that crap glue on tools
@@bmxerboynathan yes mate. To keep all joists running at the right centres so it sometimes means missing the stair well one out if you know what I mean
Wait, unlike others you didn't slide a 6" level across the finished job so how are we to believe its done right?🤣
Nice job, do you work for a contractor or direct to the builder? Looks like you'd handle that site yourself.
🤣🤣 I’ve seen them videos!! I wouldn’t dare 🤣😬 I work for a contractor pal! Front end id easily stay on top it’s just all the finishing stuff that would get on top of me (and I haven’t got the tools for that any more) cheers for your comment 💪👌
@@ashleydavenport3794 so you don't do 2nd fix or finals ?
@@markb1971 I used to but had everything robbed so just do front end now unless I’m borrowing tools
@@markb1971all the roofing chippies are the same 'havent got the gear for 2nd fix', truth is they usually can't cut the mustard!
I've been a chippy on site for 26 years and I've always been told to do everything otherwise you limit yourself to what work is available, one day I'm roofing the next fitting kitchens, saying you haven't got the gear is a cop out, if their nail gun broke they'd buy another.
It's a bit like being a bricklayer but you don't do gables 🤔
@dannym670 same . Got a van full of tools for every eventuality 👍
This is so tiny, struggle to get a double bed in there. Sad really.
3 beds, en-suite, main bathroom and built in wardrobe 🤣 crazy what they fit in haha
That scaffolding seems very low should be roughly same height has tread deck
It was low yeah, but we didn’t have anything else todo so just cracked on. Can do everything from inside once it’s loaded up! Scaff always gets lifted once we’ve finished! Hahaha
Your videos are really relaxing and a joy to follow. Get the results you deserve = Promo*SM !!!
Thankyou!! 👌👌
