    I really enjoyed that!

    Super helpful video! Everything here in the US is new builds which is nothing like working with an upgrade in an older house

    Thanks for that great tip at the end. And... thank you for sharing. I am a complete amateur and I ordered loft boards from B & Q .. that is coming tomorrow!! I was freaking out, but am calmer now that I have watched this video and saw your reply about not having to raise the boards. I thought I was going to have to go and order more wood and revise my plan!!!!! Appreciate this video, very much. (now all I am worried about if the wiring in the loft - I am going to cut out grooves in the joists to leave them where they are, but lower the wiring under the boards - rather than just slap boards on top of wiring)!!!!! I just hope there is a tiny bit of flexibility in the wiring. I do not have any downlighter or anything else that will be awkward ). Just doing what you did here - partial loft only.

    I am surprised that you used a nail gun and glue, we use screws just in case it has to come up again for any reason. Well done though, good job !

    That's a great video thanks. Love your style of presentation & narration. Informative, simple to follow steps & the speeded up video an absolute bonus.

    Great tips!

  • @SomeHomies

    Cheers for that! Only found all the fancy expensive loft leg videos while thinking, cant I just use timber? Really helpful!

    … I’m thinking of following your system for a portion of my loft for light storage for cases and some books and a few kids toys … the sides would be 2.2 metre x 3.0 metre … using kiln dried treated wood for the 3 by 2. I’ve calculated the whole structure would weigh about 45kg plus the weight of the chip boards to cover it … house built in 1980 … I’m concerned that the frame adds a fair amount of extra weight to be supported by the joists and just wanted your opinion … obviously just an opinion since you couldn’t give any detailed advice not having seen the job … great video btw👍

    Top video, going to do mine similar. What size is the boarding joists you are using please and how do you know where to fix that first centre board so the off cuts fit so perfectly each end. Sorry I’m terrible at measuring!

    I thought I saw that tripod the other day. Don’t envy you that job but as you say they can’t always be nice, turned out to be a great space 👍🏻
