    It is surprisingly easy to drill thru an rsj. 4mm pilot then a 6mm ,, trick is a spray of cutting fluid. When you have the knack it is a lot less annoying and much quicker and accurate than banging those noggings in.

    Couldn't get along with an impact driver, ended up paying a few quid for a drywall screw drill bit and it made screwing a mindless task. I like videos like this, common problems that people will come up a cropper at some point. Great vid your videos have really helped me over the years, keep them coming

    A great video as always .. it’s good to see how to go about putting things together. One thing I’m looking to do is fix in bi-fold doors under an RSJ opening.. .. What is the best way to lower/ secure the bi-fold door frame to the RSJ, which is less than the RSJ hight?

    As a drywall fixer you explained everything perfect for anybody attempting this themselves. On site we wouldn't get away with using the adhesive on the bottom face, we would have to use some mf6 or angle on the adjoining slabs and box around the beam. Great video as always.

    I don't think i'll have need for this particular tip but I found myself watching it anyway, good work! I'm quite new to DIY myself and this old house of mine is needing a whole lot of work. I'm not sure if it's something you have the need to do, nor do I know if it's within your remit but I have some wardrobes which just fit in some alcoves and want the to look a bit more built in, any further tips on that would be superb!

    Great video mate and very easy to follow and understand. The only thing I’d add is to be careful with impact drivers and drywall screws - I found it very easy to go straight through the plasterboard. Instead I used my combi drill on gear 6 or 7. This seemed to be the right gear that the clutch would release just as the screw got about 1mm depressing the paper on the plasterboard. One gear lower and the screw head would sit too proud, one gear higher and the screw chewed into too much plasterboard.
