Self-leveling screed and door trim

“

- [Instructor] Chapter 6-07, the final one, we're just going to sort out the self-leveling screed and just trim up around this door threshold. This might have been missing. I'll put it in now. This is the internal render bead, so this should have been in. You'll find it on the completed version. It's also in the chapter six components, so just grab it and stick it in here. This is what we rendered down to and what our self-leveling screed is going to go up against as well, so that's a piece that might have been missing. So we need the mesh first, so Leveling screed mesh, if we come down to this one. This is about four inches, 100 mil, and effectively this is just going to sit over the gap and make sure that it seals everything up, so the self-leveling screed doesn't crack. That way, you've got a bit of movement, so hopefully that will do the trick there. Then we are looking for the door threshold, so Door threshold board, this thing here. We'll bring this in and just move this bottom corner to this bottom corner. That should fit nicely. Again, these things don't go all the way to the back. This'll be a nice snug fit. Mesh up to it. And obviously, the mesh is going to go all the way along, as will this, and then, we have the leveling screed. So I've also had to do a little bit of juggling with some of these bits just to get it all to work properly. I did suggest earlier on that that might be the case when we get right down to this bit. And the final bit is the self-leveling screed, so this thing here. So just drop this in, and if we are lucky, and the wind is behind us, then this thing will come into this point here, so that's tight against that. And then, it should come in here. I'm just going to move it out a little bit, sort of like that. Okay, so that will flow around about that there. And that is pretty much it. Okay, so we've gone from foundations, external wall, internal finishes, door window cladding, roof, insulation, vapor barriers, moisture barriers, everything you'd probably need to know about how this thing goes together. There'll be a couple of bits and pieces that won't be quite right, but if you didn't know anything about how these things went together, then hopefully, by now, you've got an idea that's it's an awful lot of things make up this sort of stuff. Okay, that's why so many people work in the construction industry. These days, people are developing the sort of offsite manufacture of everything a lot more than they ever used to, so it's coming in kit form and being erected onsite, so that means that precision has to be much greater than ever before. Okay, so 3D details are great for explaining how things go together, but we still do tend to work off 2D drawings, so we'll be looking next at how we can quite easily take this information from SketchUp into LayOut.
