I once worked on the old Guinness factory in NW London. It was like this. An absolute nightmare. The Architects just run away and left us chippies to it. They just couldn't deal with it. They were right to run away but in a sadistic sort of way I enjoyed the challenge and we somehow got it done. Weird how us carpenters think!

Binge watching your back catalog of videos. Boy I don’t miss working on old rough structures, great learning opportunities though. Leveraging years of experience to tackle the challenges. I’m now in the states and the yanks build completely out of wood and nothing in my area is beyond 100 years old. So much easier bashing houses knowing it’s all wood frame. Hardest transition was learning to read a tape measure in imperial. No metric in the states. Lol.

Welcome to mostly my career. I started my carpentry working in a doomsday village on everything seriously old. Didn't see anything straight or clean for a number of years. Most days going home doing my impression of the coleman. And strangely I preferred that. So where work permitted I chose old over new. I became known for it in the UK. Moved to Oz and where I could worked on heritage buildings. The draw for me is the problem solving. Eg. Nice new build. Work out a stud length. It fits. Cut another X number the same. Boring. The wall you just did. Every stud a struggle. Think about why what where. How can I solve the problem. How can I improve what is there. Renos just make you think in a way new builds don't. One new build out here I was contracted to do fit out on numerous hotel rooms. The windows all made on a jig. The frames all cut by computer saws. I made a notebook of all the member sizes. Each morning, without even going in the rooms. I stood outside and cut every skirt, arch, etc. For two hotel suits. Then the rest of the day installing. Mind numbing. Some love it because it is easy. I hate it. In Oz there are way more Carpenters that will only do new work. So left me with less competition for the old stuff. And the too hard basket. Six look at and run. I do. As Poirot always says. It is all about the little grey cells. Problem builds kept me thinking.

Great video as always del. Definitely interested in this kind of video on how you tackle the older properties. They make for good problem solving viewing other than the 'new' stall/build ones where everything is plumb/square etc. A question for yourself and your viewers. How would you go about installing a new oak foil backed fire door into an old 25mm out of level headlining and door jambs that are not only out of plumb but also have a 'wedge' on the rebate side of both legs. I've just struggled with this when I took out an old heavily cut fire door and had to fit a new one Obviously you're not allowed to cut the top of the door so I was left with a 3-20mm gap from the hinge side to the closing side. And it was down to it's limit for the side trimming so I was unable to take any more off the sides of the door to get it to fit into the lining so I had to slightly widen that, however I had to 'square up the rebate of the lining by hand (if that makes any sense) as the outside was wider than the inside of the rebate creating the wedge shape. It puzzled me for a bit as when the door closed it kept springing open then i realised it was because it was binding on the inside edge ( both side!). A bit like it was binding on the hinges but it was the actual frame it was binding on! That was a painstaking job which took me hours! How would you have gone about this. Any info from any and all is an education. It's always good to try get others views as to how this can be done and to stay within regs for these kinds of doors. Just so next time I come across this I've more knowledge to go at. Looking forward to this series of videos and thank you.

Hi Jon🖐I can't quite get my head around the issue with the leg/rebate, but sounds like you've tackled it as well as could be expected👊With regards the head, I would be explaining to the customer that the door can't be cut to match the lining, and suggest cutting a wedged shaped head piece in to close the gap👍
@jonbarrie7002
Жыл бұрын
@@thetallcarpenter Hi Del, thanks for the quick reply. In regards to trying to describe the lining, if you were looking down into one side for instance youve got the part that the door closes against the stop as it were, then looking to the side at 90'to the stop its the side, well the one i was working on was over 90 so the stop side of the lining was narrower than the front edge of the lining. So as i closed the door it acted as though it was binding on rhe hinges, as if a screw was sticking out, bug it wasn't it was the lining that was tightening as the door closed on the hinge side (mostly) causing it to spri g back. If you placed your adjustable square against the wall and into the lining then it would be touching the 'stop' and the inside edge but the was a 5mm gap at the tight inside edge. Hope ive not made that description worse ha ha. Ive never come across a lining being like that kind of a tapering to the closed pont. It made it impossible for the door to close into the gap without bouncing out. I just did my best with straightening it out to be square so it didnt bind. I wondered if you or anyone else had come across this before and if so how did you deal with it, so hopefully if i have the same issue ive got more options. As i say i was down to the limit on the door so there was no way i could take any more off the side to try accommodate it, only option was the lining itself. The one i took out had the sides tapered and i just didnt see it or realise why until i re looked at it again then the penny dropped! And obviously who ever did the door before had the same issue but just cut it to suit including the head as it had numerous coats of paint on so i guess they thought you would not see the cut edges etc. Hope that makes more sense ha ha sorry in advance. Love the videos of older properties though where everything is not square plumb etc and youve just got to work round it. It's how you do it that's interesting.

This seems like a very experimental solution and may end in increasing damp in the wall and lowering the insulation value of the brick wall far below its' present value, to insulate the brick mass out into the cold like this. I don't know about the UK climate and condensate, but I would hesitate to use this approach here (south Norway) where we have lower winter averages than you (though this climate is much dryer than UK). What is your strategy for the flow of humidity? Diffusion open, diffusion closed, or semi permeable? Their is research in Scotland (may be Edinburgh Uni, don't remember) about pros and cons or retro insulation. Difficult job all round, thanks for sharing.

Hi Lucas🖐and thanks for your great comment👍There is many ways you could look at the problems encountered on jobs like this and the best way to deal with them. A lot of it comes down to the individual customer, their expectations plus their budget. From my perspective, and based on many years of experience working on and renovating older properties here in the UK, I'm happy enough insulating the external wall 'out' of the internal heat zone, and don't believe the brickwork will behave much different to any other external brick skin with an insulated cavity. I have been careful not to 'bridge' the new stud work onto the old external brickwork, and there is an air gap all the way round it and up into the small 'loft' area that will also be formed to help with breathability. Personally, I would be looking to stop the risk of interstitial condensation by either using foil backed plasterboard or an AVCL on the inside face of the studwork, and the brickwork is painted externally, so water penetration shouldn't be an issue, so hopefully no sweating/condensation on the back of the bricks/insulation👍Thanks for watching😎Cheers Del
