I did this with metal gypliner system. You don’t much space and you can also add insulation behind

so I'm just starting to research how to remove rust/peeling paint & to repaint my hand rails. I appreciated the tips from your video, thank you! I've watched a couple where they spray painted & I think I might just paint with a brush like you did. Much better for the environment and not as much to mask off and cover!

If you are sorting all the cable now, you might as well stick the router in a better location too, and have ethernets running from that to other places around the house, it'll look so much better in the long run. Especially with fttp becoming more widely available. Unsure what lighting your thinking of getting but the JCC Fireguard GU10, £4.50 (at the time) are perfect, and we used some £4 odd Bulbs, and they look good, dimmable too, cheaper than buying a whole unit, the ones we orignally looked at were £11 each and all intergrated, so if it failed, thats another £11 and effort into taking it down/replacing, at least with the GU10 when the bulbs blow, you only need to replace the bulb, not the whole unit which is handy.

I was thinking of trying the uni one re new squeeze bottle. So you’re saying it’s a miss?

actually irritating af you. you arent a tv presenter. dont talk like one.

Where’s the end result ?

I forgot to say:- You did a great job. It looks superb!

I'm about to refit our kitchen and we were intending to go with quartz worktops (despite the big price tag), so I found your video at exactly the right time. The Maxtop quartz looks ideal for us, so thanks a million (well, maybe a thousand!!!).

Spurs are best avoided if at all possible. An electrician friend of mine is not a fan of LED lights because, as you say, any faults in them and it's game over. Having said that, the technology allows for some very eye-catching designs, such as yours.

So I have a Playhouse and I can't get to the Back Wall or one side so pre felting the the 2 x 8ft by 3.5ft Plywood seems an option. You clearly secure the roof from the inside what how did you fix the sheets?.

Pleased to see you're not mounting the TV at some neck-craning height! Looks good.

Nice work Vikkie, no matter what anyone says you can do it alot better than i could. Love the new look shorts and boots ha ha ha. Take Care. Barry (the Wirral)

brave using plasterboard.. or maybe i am just old fashioned but i hate plasterboard i much prefer "Real" plaster so much better to hang heavy things like TV's on as you go directly into the wall and have no void's ...

Thee's a liquid/paste called machinist's blue. It takes a very long time to dry... Put a little on the rim of the boxes, and it WILL mark the back of the plasterboard... and everything else... effing stuff gets onto everything! You get the idea; avoid that stuff and find something that dries a bit faster.

So begs the question, would you rather work on outdoor tasks or indoors???

Brilliant Vickie that will look amazing when it’s done 😊

Looks good, battens are a good shout for this area. In this heat I think you'd be looking at 20-30 mins tops work time with dot and dab, which is a bit frantic for us diyers! To save all the drill bit changes try the Bosch multi material bits, they aren't amzing wood or masonry bits but for framing onto a wall like this they are perfect, just bang through the lot with one bit now swapping and they do the job nicely. For marking your sockets use the old trick of rubbing a bit of pencil lead around the back boxes first, it saves a lot of banging and risk of damaging the boards. I've found an old tenon saw to be great for thin little cuts on plasterboard, pb eats Stanley blades so might as well save them and avoid the risk of crumbly edges on small cuts. Looks perfect though especially with the added support for the monster TV!

06:17 - nice safety squint and flinch technique especially when safety glasses were on top of your head! 🤣

Rather than faffing around with a 6’ level, Vicki, invest less money in a cheap laser.

I used to live in a flat that was dot and dabbed throughout. Trying to fix anything to the wall was a nightmare. Batons every time would be my advice.

OMG bloody amazing thank you soo much. I’m going to be following your method for our bathroom. ❤

Well done Vicki, brilliant, have a think about using foam designed for attaching plasterboard, it's a similar process as using plasterboard adhesive, it will take a lot of time pressure of you,

Just chuck a net over the other greenhouse

You can adjust the greenhouse door on the wheels at the top.

15:00 spot on 🙂 Other ways to do this is to put chalk around the edge of the back boxes, or a bit of ink if it won't dry too quick, or you can get things called SOCKITZ SPLATEZ that can put marks on the back of the board. Lovely stuff thanks. If a bloke had done this, he would have done it all wearing the same outfit, including pants 🙂🙂

Vikki, you have a fantastic audience here! Experienced craftswomen and men willing to share their expereince and advice😊❤

100% get a finish plasterer in, it's a real skill

Greets from your old Debs lot! Loving the series. Have you decided what you're using to hang the TV yet? Have done similar in the past with a timber frame followed by ply and plasterboard, bit more space behind to allow future working room. On the penetrations to ceiling, i think i'm going with a fire sock next time, will still close the gap, but allow future access

Dot and dab just seem a bit ropey to me for some reason - and I've noticed a lot of movement on some of our walls particularly when timber framed. Battens just seem a bit more mechanically "robust" albeit maybe more time consuming and costly?

Yet another very informative video.

rub the socket boxes with the edge of off cut plaster board and you’ll get a mark on you board like you were doing 👍

Great job done the Mr and Mrs TCD!

You've made the right decision!

You shouldn’t prefill the joints.

All im going to say is ""GYPLINER" or at the least ,timber battens with "GYPLINER" brackets .

Hi did you check its ok to cut into roof trusses? I would have thought its not a good thing to do structurally as they are designed to spread the loading of the roof?

Excellent job vikkie and mr tcd ,love your videos vikkie you are awesome at everything you do ,nice one thankyou both of you keep em coming 👍🏻💪🏻

Always score the paper at the back of the cut after you've snapped it it's much easier and a cleaner cut.

Great job Vikkie, so satisfying seeing it come together. Got to agree about timber in packs, we built a massive catio last year and so much of what turned up was useless, really frustrating.

Nooice!

👍

Well done all round.😀👍

Would have been easier with mf imho.

Is Mr TCD camera shy?

Use a bit of plaster board and chalk the front edge of back box’s as when you bang the plaster board on it will leave the mark better

Yeahhhh shorts at last 🎉🎉🎉🎉lol would multi material drill bits help ?

Great work Vicki, when you do more boarding and if you decide to dot and dab then lay your boards horizontally, you can get a straight edge along the board so skirting sit true and then use a plumb rule to tap home 1200mm high, this is easier to do then trying to plumb a 2400mm board and them hoping you get a straight wall with it going in and out. Hope you understand my thinking there.

Well done Vikkie you're doing a fab job one tip I would give you is when you score the plasterboard with your knife then fold it over run your knife down the paper from the back of it you'll find it a lot easier to follow the natural crease in the fold. I'm really enjoying your journey although I'm not sure whats harder doing the work yourself or keeping my name sake off camera lol. Keep up the great work xx

I keep a tube of red lipstick in my toolbox to dab on the edges of the electric boxes/ protrusions before doing the tamping for impressions method you used, leaving an easy to see red line to cut out. Chalk can also work for this if you can get it to stick to the protruding object. Happy DIYing😻

Use the edge of a bit of scrap plasterboard and rub it on your boxes. It'll act almost like a crayon and leave a nice clear mark when you knock your sheet onto the boxes.
