Bro’s gunna regret not changing them screws after the first CLASSIC Queensland storm hits💀
And that foam he used goes rock hard after a while and crumbles
I lined my garage with yellow tongue floor panels. They're 18mm thick so I can hang all sorts of shelves, hooks etc. It also works as an insulator being so dense.
if you still want light you can add 10mm acrylic or Perspex on the windows as a home made double glazing, works very well for sound.
Love it, put a proper solid timber door in. That will insulate better over the tin door, seal better and be more solid and harder to break in!
That’s actually a good idea! 🤘🤘
That’ll make a world of difference! I did it under the roof of my house (postwar). 35 degrees outside, and didn’t even feel the need to put on the aircon. Also put it under the patio roof and tested it last year, something like a 30deg difference between bare roof sheet and the underside of the foil. Much nicer to sit under.
It’s definitely made a big difference hey, good cheap way to do it!
Bro tell me about it, before I did my workshop roof it was about 60degrees in summer, burnt my head a couple of times on it
For the windows, it's a little pricier and know you want to do this on a budget, but tint is a great idea but also double glazing too. If something flys off when grinding etc, it's a bit more durable and more difficult to break in with too. Plus will give you all that natural light to make it feel more open when you're stuck in there. Great job overall for the first time doing it. Beats what we had at one stage, sand in old tinnies
Paint the roof white and you'll knock heaps more heat out of it
Bloody Great job cobber 👌🍺🇦🇺
You don't want to squeeze the batts. You want to keep them as fluffy as possible to keep the air in the batts for better insulation
Great advice thank you!
My pleasure@@RoamLyfe
To elaborate on what @MicahBell_1860 said, the air is what prevents the heat from conducting and provides the insulation in the first place (so don't mash it). The foil on the insulation is a radiant barrier that helps to block infrared heat, but it is also a vapor barrier, and is generally meant to face the living space of the structure. The way you are installing it could potentially trap moisture between the cement board and the alu walls of your shed. Not trying to be a dick, love your channel!
@@seetomgo he did the foil the way he did for the reason you mentioned...if its reversed how your saying to do it, the fiberglass/earthwool will absorb the moisture and cause an unwanted musky odour.
Incorrect information. Compression of the fat bat doesn’t lose insulation quality. That’s a myth.. it’s just more costly..
The king of D.I.Y
Only way to do it 🤘
Man that's looking awesome!! nice work
Great job legend looking forward to the A/C install and completion with everything back in place to see how cool it is for you.
Maybe look into swapping the whirly bird for a solar fan. Saves sucking out the cool AC air constantly. Also you can buy foilboard 25mm thick which would be good for the door, it's polystyrene with foil lining
The foilboard is a mint idea, thank you! And with the Whirly Bird I’m not sure what I’m gonna do with it, I was thinking of just blocking it off?
@@RoamLyfe yeah it is redundant at the moment. Great inso job but 👍🏻
I'd personally get a chimney flue then you can block it off when not needed but use it for something like a car exhaust or paint fume extractor. (i stole 1 of the ducts & blowers off the kids old jumping castle when it got a leak, its great for moving air or fumes)
@@patb4493 yeah I didn't think of air extraction. That's an idea.
You are correct, I used foilboard 20mm works brilliant.
Epic diy, im sure that will make a big difference for your upcoming projects
Good job. I reckon it's gonna make a big difference this summer. Looking forward to seeing it finished and some aircon.
Awesome job bro! The fact that it’s done cheap and it worked out so well good on yeah, I like the fact that there’s a space for future wiring is brilliant. Now for part two.✌️
Also just fibreglass insulate the door and tape it well.
You never know when you gotta run power hey, I decided that if I want to add 3 phase or 15 I don’t want it to be any more of a pain then it already is haha
Paint the inside bright white you get a lot better lighting from reflections of the lights you have
Cool looking, and cool working workshop 👍👍
Great Job, Looking forward to the next video Cheers...
Really good video mate
Thanks legend!!
At Bunnings you can get 80% uv blocking tint for windows
Is their stuff decent?
Yes got it on our house and you can notice a huge difference
Looks the goods mate, can't wait to see how it turns out!
Thanks Sam!
i love a good shed build video
Harry with his roofing pluggers...he was keen...then he changed to roofing shoes...but I see the Crocs made an appearance.
😆😆😆 the crocs where mint on the roof
Maybe sheet foam for the door would work? Great content, thanks for sharing!
Yeah I’m thinking just one foil board at this point!! Or maybe a thin sheet of alloy and insulation under it!
Well done and good on you for building up the courage to do it. Short term pain for long term gain ;) Cheers
You do what you like to your shop unfortunately people will always make some stupid comments. It looks very good
loving the content, thanks for the share!
Thanks legend!!!
absolute great job cobba.
Thanks Cobba!!
This will be so worth it this summer
I’m honestly so excited about this!
Put a timber slate look on the door with a nice stain on the timber
Loving your shed Reno videos, thanks for doing them 👍 what screws did you use to fasten the boards to the shed frame?
Shed looks sick
Cheers Jimmy!!
Sheds looking sick mate 👍
Thanks legend!
Proper sick mate 10/10 🔥
Thanks legend!
Should of put builders wrap/paper between the roof sheeting and insulation. All the condensation is going to drop onto the insulation now mate...
paint the roof white, will make a huge difference
You reckon straight over the top of the silver bit? Will it stick?
If you paint the outside of roof white, it will reflect a lot of the radiant heat back up into the air before it has a chance to radiate down into the shed
How will the space lasers heat it up if its white? But you can buy ceramic heat reflective house paint, or search night hawk lighting? For DIY boron reflective paint
Dunlop Volleys as Roofing Footwear btw.
The good ol dunlops haha!
11/10 enjoyed this episode!
Thanks legend, bit different but it’s nice for a change!
Bunning sell a product called easyboard its a pvc panel. It great for lining roofs like your as it makes it looks super neat. There are cheaper versions available and it also creates another air void helping with temps
Great job mate should have grabbed. Your self a cement sheet countersink bit for them screws. Or used a pan head to stop fluffing up around screws also foil board on your door even doubled up
Didn’t even know that was a thing hahaha dammit! Lucky she’s only a workshop or id be spewing!
Great job brother! Now I need to do the same with my shed 😂
Is a game changer hey! It’s really not to hard to do either just takes a bit of time!
Looks mint
Cheers bro!
Gday, I’d love to do my workshop one day when the budget strings loosen off, top job mate, gonna make a big difference in the summer and winter, cheers
Hey Matty! Makes a huge difference already, can’t wait for the aircon to be in and running tho, that’s gonna be a major difference 🤘 Cheers mate!
"60% of the time i have no idea what im doing" 6o%??? damn thats impressive, i have a newborn and im currently operating at about 30% currently.
well done for first time done shed insulation! have plans to install a similar shed for my Troopy and workshop in my backyard and will definitely insulate roof and walls from the beginning on. Had to smile about your experince with the yellow foam 😉 tip: just handle it like the spray cream for your sunday afternoon cake, keep the tube in the foam when applying and never give ‚full power‘ to avoid a mess 😂 This foam sticks on everything for the rest of your life .... cheers mate !
Hahahaha yep! Learnt this the hard way didnt I, I didn’t expect it to grow as much hahaha! It definitely was all over the shed 😆😆😆
You should just put trim over the gaps or cut slats out of a sheet like 4” wide to cover over the gaps. Saves you from plastering.
I was thinking that! 🙏
Awesome job mate. Haters going to hate anyways lol That foam stuff is unreal to work with isn’t it lol.
Hahaha I still have the foam on my hands haha can’t get the shit off anything 😆😆
Shit yeahhhh legend👌🏼
🤘🤘🤘
Have you ever thought about getting a 2 post hoist for your shed.
Hey mate. Those Fibro Boards, what thickness are they? Your metal shed frames being pretty far apart, but you found the fibro ridge enough not to warp?
Also I’d tint those windows it’ll keep that heat out and ac in
Great idea cheers mate!
Hey mate where’d you get your tool benches from. Love the vids keep it up
Hey mate! I had the frames made out of 4mm thick alloy and then I just used form ply for the top and now have a bit of alloy on two of them!
nicely done on the fit out. what size structure is it (WxLxH)?
Thanks mate! 6x7.6x3
Isn't there usually some large opening wire Mesh under the insulation as well to help hold it up. Looks like it'll droop a lot after a few years?
There is on some and some there isn’t, if it does sag I’ll just clad the roof!
Just warning you mate that you will have water pissin in, by the way you cut the wool after screwing the sheets back down and left some hanging out from under the sheet and in the gutter. It acts as a sponge and absorbs the water and bring it inside. It’s the main cause of leaks on metal roofs I attend, and when wool is in the lap of the sheets when being laid
Great vid as always man! Also with the dark grey raptor on coal how did you find it went for showing up pin stripes from wheeling?
It’s not the best, I’d suggest not using raptor!
@@RoamLyfe alrighty man, thanks heaps for the heads up 🙂
@ashgranger8359 no worries, it’s not the best stuff, better off with just a base colour 2k and clear
@RoamLyfe too easy bro, I'll run with that. Thank you 😁
@@RoamLyfeinteresting, it doesn't live up to the marketing hype!
Damn lovin that upgrade on that garage 😊😊 what’s size is your house land and that garage mate ?
Thanks dude, it’s gonna be so good when it’s done! 🤘 House is only. 610sq Shed is 7.5 x 6m
That’s awesome 🤙🤙 hopefully I can get close to that size ones i buy a house 🤙🤙🤙
What is that makita saw please? Video I was looking for
Hey mate, random comment but do you remember the colour code that your old patrol was?
Mate put trolly wheels on your benches so it would be easy to move next time.👍
Yeah I shoulda made the benches a bit smaller to allow for wheels, they are a bit tall To add castors now!
Hey dude, first time on your channel and this is a banger of a first video ✊Just out of curiosity (you might explain it later in the video, so apologies if so) why are you using cement board? I would imagine plaster board would be a fair bit cheaper, no?
Thanks a lot the comment mate, awesome to hear you enjoyed it! So basically, cement sheeting is waterproof and also just tougher in general, I also got it much cheaper than the boards at Bunnings cause they where damaged!
@@RoamLyfe Ah yeah totally get it, thanks for responding! Looking forward to more shed reno vids, subbed 💯
He said he got it all 1/2 price and rock board is a excellent insulater bye itself.
Insulation doesn't work if compressed. You should have created a attic or void in the roof space, would give lightweight storage space and make the room itself more square alongside give better lights levels as the lights are lower
Ditch the crocs and get a pair of Dunlop volleys. Now there’s a real roofers footwear.
Hahah up the volleys!
You installed the roof insulation upside down.
How is that red toolbox holding up so far?I was looking to get one thanx
It’s been perfect hey, hasn’t failed me yet, drawers are still mint
@@RoamLyfe Thank you.Where did u get it from if I may ask?
@@interceptor7905 maxim tool box online!
@@RoamLyfe Thank you appreciated!All the best mate
Fyi overtime the insulation droops itself
Good to know!!
It also tastes real good
Too late now unfortunately, you don't need to remove roof sheets. What does the work is the air gap between roof sheet and insulation sheet. Fixing a different product of foam and foil to the underside of the battens is the key. Roofers do this directly under the roof sheet as it's easy but not as effective
I did price up the foilboard for underneath but it was far to expensive for me at the moment, this solution was 1/4 of the price! A lot more work tho 😵! I may clad the roof in the future to help with the heat!
im getting itchy just watching this 😂😭
Did the same to my shed, massive difference to the inside temp just by insulating the roof. Later added solar onto the roof of the shed and temp control even better again now that the roof surface is sheltered by the solar panels
You forgot to run cable for the AC before you did the cladding 😢
I ran it off camera !! 2.5mm
@@RoamLyfe good man, saved yourself a big headache 😂😂
@mrspontanious haha woulda sucked if I didn’t! I jsut didn’t want the internet to yell at me for doing wiring 😆😆😆
Man u could of done this for 0 dollars 2 years ago . Switch on
How’s that?
Wtf
i thought you might have used coolroom sheets on the walls .
Great diy job bro looking awesome will be nicely temperature 🌡 controlled now
Thanks bro! I’m so keen for the aircon 👌
