Building a House - Timber Subfloor Bearers and Bracing | NZ Build

I built this 76 square metre timber-framed house in New Zealand in 2020 and I'm working through it stage by stage, from set-out, the timber floor, walls and roof framing, through to weatherboard cladding and more. This episode covers cutting the pile tops for Mitek Pile Connection kits, fitting the bearers, and bracing the subfloor. 0:00 Cutting the pile tops 1:58 Starting the bearers 2:08 Marking bearer lengths 3:08 Fixing & nailing the bearers 3:45 Built-up vs solid bearers 5:19 Bracing the subfloor 5:36 Marking brace positions 6:02 Drilling square holes 6:36 Anti-seize on stainless bolts 7:46 Wrap up & next episode I've been a builder in New Zealand for over 20 years. This series is a chance to properly document a past build, and it's also a trial run before I start filming my own house build, a split-level concrete and timber house on sloping ground.
