When scribing your skirting lay it down and cut the flat section on your mitresaw. I crank it over a degree so it has a bit of a back cut and meets lovely!👌🏻 loving the videos still!

Scott what’s the advantage of assembling the window and door trim as one piece before installing it? As a DIY’er I would usually build it around the door on the wall piece by piece.

Love the videos and keeping up with this renovation! Best thing on YouTube! Keep up the great work

Hey Scott, just a tip, maybe it will help maybe not, but when doing skirting I always work from the left hand side of a door and work anti clockwise so all my scribes are right handed

I can sympathise. Been there. carpet tile adhesive on concrete. IPA and big scraper.

I always thought skirtings were cut at 45 deg, not how you did it, which looked a lot fiddlier TBH. Do you think there is a reason to do it the way you did it as apposed to doing 45 deg cuts? (and not because the book says so 🙂)

I had that awful black rubber attached to m6 floor too… I rented a a machine especially made to scrape mechanically… it worked well.

Rented a house in Christchurch and asked the landlord for new carpet. No problem until the carpet layers lifted the old carpet and said ‘no way we’re touching that stuff, clean it off and we’ll be back! ‘ One really sharp garden spade and a box of tungsten scraper blades later and voila carpet layers returned. Did I mention the buckets of sweat and numerous blisters later!! New carpet was nice though!

That floor moulding joint was a thing of beauty.

Did you forgot square space?

No, not Iconic! I mean they're fine normally but their four pole rotary fan switch is absolute trash. I've used it in two houses (second time hoping the first was a one off). It does t latch positions properly. You'll turn a fan to a certain speed and it won't actually latch, so the fan will stay off. I have to wiggle t
It everytime you make sure. 8 switches across 7 rooms over 4 years and they ALL did it. Every other product seems fine, but if you want a consistent look, either look at a different model/brand or put up with a bad switch.

Are you putting down new flooring? Why not just refinish the old floor?

TIL that NZ outlets look like the mask in Scream movie.

Were currently stripping a house and it had 3 layers of carpet hiding some beautiful wood floor and tile.

Hi Scott,
I always enjoy looking at your videos.
What is the round accessory mounted on your jigsaw ?
Thx

8:29 What happened to the houses in the middle ? Landslide ?

$200 to sand 4 corners? Why didn't you put a sanding pad on your isolating tool?

You are the real star, Jess 🌟🌟 don’t let Scott drink all of the coffee 😉 always enjoy your videos, Scott 😁👌👏👏👏

I find the malwakee finishing gun better

When that internal skirting join came together 🤌🏻 “like a linger up a doupe”

A wallpaper steamer might have worked – used to get Lino glue off concrete floor – removed with scraper easy as

We had to remove something similar during our renovation, and we had 1 night to do it. Definitely a night to remember

I saw a video showing how a guy jad found an 100 year old door trim that had used an interesting technique behind the miters to make sure they didnt cone apart over time.
Saw Scott just used some nails, I'd be interested to see how long they last in comparison

Love how your place is coming along!

would of been best to use a power floor stripper

I see the Magnolia Mob and the Camellia Crips are fighting for territory again.

Hi Scott. Can you please send a link for the textbook “Carpentry in New Zealand”? Thank you.

I'm a floorlayer in the UK and what you were scrapping up wasn't underlay but the backing from an old foam backed carpet

Seen a few underlays like that and worse – full of spores, choking, sucking moisture out of the air, poisonous. Very glad I made the effort to remove every tiny piece along with wearing masks and a blower plus two or three vacuum cleaners running at the same time

0:14 "It's spring!" I had to stop and think right there 😂 If only it was Spring now here… but nah, into the darkness for the next 6 months.

I come across this black stuff in the 1970 and 1980s it is the rubber type backing of carpet – they done like most people of the time – with new carpet you either put it stright on top of the old carpet or you pulled the old carpet up and due to age and the way the rubber backing bonded to the floor you put the new carpet over the back stuff that was left.

What gauge nailer do you use for the trim pieces?

As a connoiseur of the benign and mundane, I can't say enough about the part where he says "we have 2 layers of underlay… (in his New Zealand accent) andalay andalay". My favorite 😊

They’ve made so many innovation in tools over the years but that drum sander hasn’t changed a bit. Thing still looks like it’s right out of the 50’s

No scott. You use makita multimaster and sand pad for the corners. 😉 No just kidding. But you could use it too.

What kind of jigsaw did you cut your skirting with big falla?

Ergh… iconic… you’ll hate it eventually

That stuck layer is rubber that was attached to the original carpet. The carpet separated from the rubber layer during the demo and they left it. Very common in the States in older homes.

If I'm scribimg casing against a wall I'll nail it on about an inch over from where it's going then scribe an inch from the wall all the way down. If there is hinges in the way I take them off.

Scott you have my sense of humour, "underlay, underlay" 🤣🤣🤣

No kapex for the skirting?

This is satisfying me really good 🙂 Thanks

Lol when we moved into our house in 2013 that was the first job we did but we had to do it in the living room and 3 bedrooms. We did exactly the same process as you tried everything then got the industrial floor sander. It’s was by far the worst job we had to do.
