Ah yes , timber is still 4 b 2 and 8 b 4 sheets and our brick gauge is 4 to 300 . It must sound weird the the young lads and abroad .🧐As for Alex he has put 3 stone and is stronger than me now 😳. He still can’t crush my hand in a handshake though ..... still got it in the forearms 💪🏼🤣🧱👍🏽
Lovely job guys 👍👍🍺🍺
Cheers James 🧱👍🏽
Nice one boys👏 the rain on your first day reminds me of countless times like this on my own pj’s nature of the beast in our game but it sure can get you down 😂😂
Definitely ! 🙄😩🧱👍🏽

Me again Steve have you thought no need for the building inspector to visit all he or she has to do is just watch your videos. Thanks for your entertainment very enjoyable 👍👍😊
😆 Thanks Ken 🧱👍🏽
Good work lads , another good video. 👍🏼
Cheers Richard 🧱👍🏽
Great vid Steve and Alex 👍🏻
cheers pal 🧱👍🏽
Great job lads 👍🏼
Cheers Tom 👍🏽🧱
Nice job lads . That must have been the first generation of exterior insulation on those houses it looked fairly thin .they are using 100 to 150 mm thick sheets now great job though .
Yes definitely it must be over 15 years since it was done .
Typical penny pinching council put new upvc windows in .............SINGLE GLAZED !🤯🧱👍🏽
@@martin2466 . Probably not 🙄🧱👍🏼
Should use disc cutter to cut away rendered insulation 1 neat vertical cut looks much more tidy boss man
🧱👍🏽
Nice job lads 🧱👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers Nick 👍🏽🧱
top talent
Thanks Mike 🧱👍🏽
just came across your channel , very well done boys , brill video ,brill hard workers .
Welcome aboard! and thanks Dan 🧱👍🏽
Greetings from Texas mates! Many years ago when I was a teenager, I worked for a master stone and brick mason for two summers, and part time on weekends during the year. Was crazy good money, but I never worked so hard in my life. It took six months before he would let me set a corner on a big job. You gents make it look so easy and do great looking work. Do you ever do any stone work? Worst job I had was cracking rock for a massive fireplace (8' x 15' high). Marty would set and grout the stone faster than I could crack them....
Hi over there , thanks for watching and commenting. We try and avoid stonework and there isn’t much around here 😁🧱👍🏽
its not easy going for materials & then unloading its all time &energy on you ,but some do not think about it because they give you the job ;;
🧱👍🏽
Can't wait for this
🧱👍🏼
Make a 75mm scraper to get the muck out of the cavity.
🧱👍🏽
Think I need with you lads at some point! Cracking video again!
Cheers Adam 🧱👍🏼
I took on a bricklayer to help me build a huge garage for a friend. He managed to get the brickwork out of level by an entire course over its 6.5m width. So that brings me here 👍
Jeez 😳 welcome to the channel 🤣🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild He considered himself to be overqualified! It's been a tough few months taking down, cleaning and rebuilding. Not entirely sure what he was proposing to do with the lintels!
@@dmak2 . There is no quick fix for a pig in a wall especially above ground . That is an apprentice error that 🙄🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild There was a laser on site all the time, just kicking myself for trusting him and not vetting his work but you live and learn, what I've lost in profit I've gained in knowledge. I keep telling myself that anyway! Not sure about you but today is a write off, slight contrast to being cooked alive last week.
@@dmak2 . We’ve been inside today luckily 😁🧱👍🏼
A real builders yard 👍gone around here many years ago😭 .
Not any mor mate they have hardly any stock any more . The boss Is more bothered about it being tidy than actually having stock on hand . Most of the stuff is in the hangar now so everything had to be picked and brought to you 🙄🧱👍🏽
It's so sad 😭. I love watching a ace bricklayer 👍
@@smurftastic3928 😁🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Thats to stop people stealing.
@@galdessa1 . Could be 🧱👍🏽
Never knew they could put insulation on the exsisting walls like that🧐 great job again boys, looking forward to seeing it unfold🧱
Yeah Kieran . The houses are 60s pre fabs . 300 mm thick concrete panels bolted together so no cavity . The whole estates was insulated and re pebble dashed about 15 years ago . A good solution I reckon , they made a good solid job of it 🧱👍🏽
@Big Cock It actually isn’t cladding , it’s wet rendered , insulation fixed against that , meshed over then pebble dashed 👍🏽🧱
Good Job Steve and Alex coming along nicely. Did you get offered a cuppa? You cant be building extensions without a cuppa. Once you have finished that i will have you boys round to re do my garden wall (im on the 15th floor of a tower block) 😂 Keep up the good work
😳🤣 . It’s a mates house who is in the trade so the drinks were flowing 🧱👍🏽
Really like thus channel... i wish i have thats skills😭
Cheers Tomasz thanks for watching 🧱👍🏽
Great demo of how to build a corner. Alex must be getting stronger because he made loading the van up with those blocks look easy. For where you needed smooth top surface did you lay frogs down or were they plain commons. Look forward to see the next one. Would be interested to see the loft boarding, assume you just screw into the trusses, no drilling.
Cheers John , yeah Al has been working out 🏋️ ( that’s how he broke his finger 🙄) he has put on 3 stone and has got a lot stronger.
We laid the top course frog down buy the frogs are very shallow plus they are only taking. The timber floor and 3 course of lightweight blocks. As for the loft we have a nail gun and won’t be filming as we will be winging that job 😬😁🧱👍🏼
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Nail gun sounds a good way to do it. Take care.
@@johncoppock3823 😉🧱👍🏽 you too
Lovely job Steve they just concrete common brick like 1,s we get up here for commons.
Also get some face type 1,s solids there awful to lay if damp.
Yes pal just big standard commons but luckily they are good quality 👌🏼🧱👍🏼
@@SteveAndAlexBuild
Yeah a lot them look better than the alleged facing bricks. 👍🏻
@@lmilne4859 You’re not kidding there 😳🧱👍🏼😆
Just a quick one, obviously not on this job-but when laying 7nt blocks on low footing, have you ever tried setting your brick carrier up and laying the block , it’s a back saver
Yeah we have tried it in the past 🧱👍🏽
Great work and graft as usual guys . I thought the days of the “out of level “ concrete foundations, was a thing of the past with modern levels and pegs ? As much as it’s “ only knocking the frog off “ on a Sat or Sun this personal time is at a premium...... Note to ground worker ....Ffs do it right 🙄
Cheers Ronnie 💪🏽🧱👍🏽
Why is your line on the course above the bricks your laying ? Thought the whole purpose of the line was to use it 😎
Found it ! we put the line up 2 on commons and sometime block 👌🏽🧱👍🏽
Spot on guys learning a lot watching your videos, what’s the benefit of ever using trench blocks? Surely the higher the foundation is the less brickwork you need to do? Like in this video.
Thanks Ricky . Trench blocks are only needs in the deeper footings. 🧱👍🏽
Your in Burscough there at Furwoods builders
Yep 💪🏽🧱👍🏼
4 o'clock finish,you could go to your foreigner!!
This was it 🤣👍🏽🧱
Cracking work as always. Question as per - when you said measuring for dpc - does that mean how high from the footing to dpc level, so you can work out how many bricks/blocks is needed to reach that height?
Also on the inside block it was block then 2 rows of brick on top - what's the reason for that? That so the outside and inside wall are level with each other? Cheers lads
Dpc is the main level on every building and all measurements are taken from it .As for the inside the floor joists sat there bringing the floor up to Dpc level . Hope that make sense. 🧱👍🏽
Nice work boys, so what's the difference in using the commons instead of just using the 4" blocks from the bottom
@@martin2466 . Exactly as Marin has said just matching existing 🧱👍🏽
Very nice boys, do people still have gauge sticks... I'm old, or is it all profiles now
Keep well
I’d lose it 🙄😁🧱👍🏽
Also if youve got brick clamps, why dont you fire your blockwork up using them. So much faster,especially in footings
🧱👍🏽
Loving the videos Steve and Alex and I just quite catch the the comment you made to Alex about the problems with commons and did I hear you mention something called frogs?
Yeah , frog up and they were damp so not ideal for corner building 👍🏼🧱
What make of sand do you guys use? Your gobbo looks like cream. Im out donny way and everything is marshall sand. Never get a mix like that, its very glaggy sand round here. Also how do you get 4 bags of sand and a full cement in a standard belle mixer?
Every supplier Round here has the same red building sand pal 👌🏼🧱👍🏽
Why do you do it over hand? You do a good job but is it not easier to work from the face side?
It was too cramped on the outside , overhand doesn’t bother us . The first lift of brickwork was done face on 🧱👍🏽
Could you have used blocks on the first course on the outside leaf ?
No mate we were matching up to the existing house. 👍🏽🧱
Nice job lads, but don't the vents have to run front to back of the building?
No pal if we just put them on the front you wouldn’t get any air flow . Side to side it can from left to right and vice versa
We are only venting the extension🧱👍🏽
nice one gents dont you put insulation below dpc ? stay safe chaps
@@martin2466 🧱👍🏽
🧱👍🏽
👏👌💪👍🍻
😁💪🏼👍🏽👍🏽🧱
Maybe time to get a laser level Steve???
At £700 a pop we won’t be rushing to buy one 😳. Our bloody garden needs the money more 😬🤣👍🏽🧱
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Understood. I think the way the world works these days you create a GofundMe page and ask for donations! I'll bung a few quid in to get you started....Only seems fair given how much I enjoy the time and effort you've put into creating all this content.
@@martin2466 . It me who needs a roasting for slacking 😬🧱👍🏽😁
@@mattcartwright8272 Cheers Matt , it means a lot when people recognise the work that goes into the channel 🙏🏽🧱👍🏽
Why not conc block on face,??no trench block this week??😷😷
No trenches 🥳🥳 we did commons to match the existing house brickwork 🧱👍🏽
has your dad had is hip done yet im an old brickey
Nope still working in agony 😖😒🧱👍🏽
I know all the place names as I'm from Bootle bulive near Milton Keynes now.
Where do you guys live?
Most of my family are from Bootle . South Lancashire is where we are from 🧱👍🏽
What was the name of the airfIeld HMS........ did not catch it, tried listening again. Thank you.
It was called HMS ringtail , plenty about it on line , very interesting. 🧱👌🏼
I like your videos, but why that relentless mind-numbing music?
Sorry you don't like the music. we get a lot more positive than negative comments about it. Maybe just lower the volume ? 😬. We do appreciate your time watching the channel .🧱👌🏽
Was /is there a footings video for this job?
No mate we managed to get out of digging this one 🥳. We do have other foundation dig videos though 👍🏽🧱💪🏼
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Cheers Steve..I hope it was level enough for you guys then...find out tomorrow!
@@Carl-yu6uw 😉🧱👍🏽
do you get neighbour's complaining about you guy's working on a sat or sun. we did. they reported us to the council. council said we cannot work sat or sun. 🤬🤬🤬
Jeez thats ridiculous , we have had hassle in the past but nothing that bad !
🤬🧱👍🏽
Steve how deep did you go for the foundations with this from dpc
we didn’t do the dig on this one pal 🧱👍🏽
How deep normally if good ground
@@matthewingham8579 I think it’s 600 minimum on a conservatory but deeper on an an extension.🧱👍🏽
Using Charlie collinson loading out so u ain’t gotta keep turning round to get bricks 👌
💪🏼🧱👍🏽
@@martin2466 . Your not kiddin 😖🧱👍🏼
Top job pal, how much are the 40kg bags of sand from firwood mate?
I think they are about £3.60 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Bargain that, think i might venture there on my next little job cheers mate keep up the good work 👍👍👊
