Loft conversion part 39 - Joists, floorboards, insulation and more electrics!
This is part 39 in my series of loft conversion videos where I show you my DIY loft conversion from start to finish. In this video I bolt a new joist to one I fitted earlier, fit more floor insulation, finish the floor boards and add some more wiring.

Noggins make a hell of a difference to rigidity. My son's bedroom floor was bouncy, but fitting noggins (cross braces glued and screwed - god bless the impact driver!) Cured it. Ditto other sons loft floor. Used 150 joists just to floor for storage. Springy until cross bracing fitted
Just subscribed pal! Tackling a loft conversion in the spring
Nice work, great vids and insulation is very important for the incoming winter.
I actually finished the loft few years ago and I haven't had to add the radiator to the room yet. Nice and warm up there. Thanks for watching 👍
My fan and 3 core cable project in the loft worked fine based on your earlier video. Thanks again. I am running out of projects here.
I wish I was running out of projects. My kids destroy everything I built! 🤣 Glad to have helped, thanks for watching 👍
Always great when Pouse uploads 👍🏻😍
Glad you approve Ashley 👍
When you get a cordless battery saw make sure you get one of the large batteries for it. Mine has a tendancy to drain the smaller ones *so* fast!
Love this!!
Nice work mate, I’m at the same stage with my loft right now, just about to do the floor too.
Nice one, really enjoy following this project, especially mistakes and all! Humanises it when you share little bits which aren't to plan. We've just finished what was supposed to be the bathroom in our new house. 11months later. Roof leaks, rotten floors and all. Looks great and I know it's all solid now, though takes some time when it's you and your spare time. Labor of love eh. Must have felt great to finish this project off!
Indeed labour of love. I was glad to finish it in the end although I've yet to fit cupboard doors. It never quite goes to plan! Thanks for watching and enjoy your new bathroom 👍
Great video lots off tips 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Another good video pouse. Love the finer detail of glueing to boards down as well. A thing I shall do when I come to do mine. Again tho I didn’t hear a “tata farewell”……. Again I’m disappointed 😂
You'll appreciate it more when it comes!
Great vid. Again. Did you not think of a qinetic switch, saves a lot of cabling and slot of time.
First to comment… great video 😅
Thanks for the feedback 👍
I will give you £1m if you buy a microphone
I already have. If you watch this video you will see the difference - kzhead.info/sun/nctspLmCmKaNio0/bejne.html. Unfortunately the loft vids were filmed a few years ago on old equipment with no separate mic. Does that qualify me for the £1m?
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE hahah nope unfortunately doesn't fit the terms and conditions sorry x
@@GM-dc8vr worth a try!
