- IN THIS WEEKS VIDEO ... BLOODY PIPES !! HAND DIGGING A FOUNDATION ALEX AND I ARE JOINED BY OUR PAL JASON TO HAND DIG A FOUNDATION FOR A 1.5 METRE BY 5.3 METRE UTILITY/TOILET EXTENSION .
THE DIGGING WAS QUITE EASY IN GOOD GROUND UNTIL WE FOUND SOME POORLY INSTALLED CLAY PIPES IN OUR WAY .
WE DIDNT USE SKIPS FOR THIS JOB , INSTEAD GOING FOR A GRAB WAGON WHICH MADE THINGS A LOT EASIER .
WE ALSO INSTALLED A NEW LINTEL ON A NEARBY WINDOW AND INSTALLED A BRANCH FOR THE TOILET WASTE IN THE EXTENSION....ENJOY !

The 32 minutes flew by watching that one and I was out of breath just viewing the video. Your attention to detail is phenomenal even putting boards up to stop the mound of earth going onto the borders. Top teamwork.
😆😆 cheers john 🧱👍🏽
This was so interesting! We have a similar issue with a rainwater pipe running along out footings, did you guys shutter around your pipe and then add polystyrene and then fill around/on top of the shuttering with concrete? If so we may do the same.. Any tips would be much appreciated!! :D
I can’t actually remember. Better to check with building control on what they require 🧱👍🏽
Bang on video mate! Bloody hate doing plastic to clay fittings.. especially in a tight footings brilliant work lads 💪😨😨 got there in the end👌👌
It was a great dig till we found all the Soddin pipes . It was a right pain after that . 🥵🥵🧱👍🏽
What a complicated project. You guys suit up, show up and just do it. 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks pal 😉🧱👍🏽
I feel your pain. I am digging out footings and hit a surprise pipe coming from the neighbour kitchen sink waste shoehorned in to our customers soil pipe. New manhole going in Monday but it's changed everything plus I now have to buy a load more fittings :(
You never know what’s down there 👇 😩🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild It's all worth it when the footings and oversite is in and your laying off damp though lol.
@@Simonsimps . And the slabs in so it’s all flat and clean 👌🏼🧱👍🏽
I like your vids as you always show the whole prosess don't ever change the style. (people will be using them to learn for years to come) 😉👍
Thanks Kurt that’s nice of you to say pal 🙏🏽🧱👍🏽
Great job, lot of graft. Alex Doin awesome at presenting too!

Dad´s doing all the digging!
And Al is doing everything else . That’s why we are a good team 🧱👍🏽
Thanks for sharing
No probs Guy 👌🏼🧱👍🏽
That's a lot of pipes to navigate around. Job is coming along nicely. Certainly earned yourself a beer or 2.
It was a doddle till we found all the pipes 🙄🧱👍🏽
Just a tip for future, wet cutting with a sthil saw might be better? Great video chaps 👍👍👍
🧱👍🏽
Props for doing all that by hand!!
🤙🏾💪🏼🧱👍🏽
Can't wait for next part the hard work always pays off well done lads 💪💯
Thanks Kurt 😁🧱👍🏽
nice one fellas!!
😁🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽
Hiya Steve and Alex is this an old video iam
Sure I seen this some time ago or it
Could be very similar job 👍
5 doors up Malc 🤣😉🧱👍🏽
Great work👍👍
Thanks pal 🧱👍🏽
Dug the foundation’s for our renovation/extension. Bloody hard work pulling those levers 👍🏻😂😂. But on a serious note working on the farm years ago spent the whole winter digging in gate posts 10s dozens and dozens of the things dripping in telegraph poles hangers and fallers 4ft deep 😫😫😫😫😫😫😫
😳🥵🧱👍🏽
Very nice.
Thanks buddy 🧱👍🏽
9:05 I have a saying, 'always bring an angle grinder', now i will change it to 'always bring an angle grinder, and a reciprocating saw'😉. Good to hear that you wait for the build inspectors advice......then again steve, you just about look old enough to remember the Clarke Of The Works being a permanent feature on building sites, so you definately know what happens when you do not listen to their advice. Keep up the good work chaps👍.
Very true , thanks pal 🧱👍🏽
wow such a hard day digging well done looks like so much hard work amazing video great how old school fitted draining
Thanks pal 🧱👍🏽
Great video again. All ways look forward to watching. I am surprised the building inspector allows the soil pipe going into the surface water drain.
It’s doesn’t pal it goes into the foul 🧱👍🏽
looks well now lads,,, steve oldest on site still out dug those young 1s lol well done m8
Clever editing. 😆😆🧱👍🏽
What blades do you use in your recip saw for mortar
Bosch masonry carbide tipped 🧱👍🏽💪🏼
Bloody hell Steve, 1400mm Leeds Liverpool wasn't dug that deep 😅. Great video obviously had a decent Building Inspector
Easy dig just deep . Bloody pipes spoiled it . And yes a good inspector 😁🧱👍🏽
Never an easy job but that dig looked good ground to dig out Mate.
200mm to 300mm under invert level pipes here in wales. Always a pain digging out and hard graft that people dont understand .so much work and money below ground and pricing it there always needs to be a contingency incase things change.
Concrete in now steve you can breath mate always a relief to get it in and done .Also trench fill now is so much easier we always used to go 600 mm x 300mm depth and build out of ground now we trench fill which is a better job and saves the back knees and hips mate .As usual you've worked hard and done a cracking job you boys .
Justin 👍 🧱🧱
All very true Justin , it’s a lottery what you will find 😬🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild trench blocks in brickwork to damp floor in and you can chill out mate looking forward to the next one 👍
This is the first of 3 that we squeezed in before the big job started in leam 😆🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild job after job and squeeze some in i no that feeling steve good luck mate off to count bricks not sheep now mate knackered 👍 😀 😉
@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping 😆🥱😴😴🧱👍🏽
Can I ask what's in the mix for the foundation? I was going to go with 1-2-3 and I was thinking of adding waterproofer.
The watercourse for about 5 back gardens runs towards my house. What I am technically doing is building a barrier around the house to stop water penetration. I can see where the path around the house has been raised (now as high as my first step, airbrick now sub grade and they have used something that looks like, to me, the 'black sand' left from foundry work casting.
But I think you mentioned lime and I was wondering as per usual.
Not sure mate it was delivered 🧱👍🏽😬
Hey guys whats in the squeeze silicone gun that you used when re bricking the lintle
Hi Colin just silicone to hold the new tray in place 🧱👍🏽
I like digging foundation’s, always have done . First job I did when I was 15, over 30 years ago
😆💪🏼🧱👍🏽
You can can dig some
Footings for me if ya like it that much
@@jahb9660 😆😆🧱👍🏽
Really? I had to dig one by hand, took 3 of us about 2weeks and no joke was the worst 2 weeks of my life 🤣🤣
@@matthewimhardbrucelee6995 🥵😆🤣🤣🧱👍🏽
Nice job boys 👍
Cheers Philip 🧱👍🏽
Nice work lads
Cheers Darren 🧱👍🏽
Oh Jurassic Park quote “that’s one big pile of shit”
🦖💩😉😆🧱👍🏽
Got a luv the old building inspector. Minefield/
😬😂🧱👍🏽
We are never allowed to leave gas pipe in oversite, we always move it much to our and clients annoyance.!! The waterpipe is fine though..!??????
😁🧱👍🏽
Some dig like a minefield well done 👏
Yep 🧱🧱👍🏽
8-9.!!!!!!! They don’t leave the office until 10.30 where I live.!!!!
😆🧱👍🏽
That's a really nice trench fair play I dug a hole for daisy moose's sister a month ago .I had to get the kango out then the neighbors started complaining and it was gone six on a Sunday morning .I wasn't my usual cuddly fluffy fun bundle
🥺🥺🧱👍🏽
That was graft! Hate to think how many concrete foundation trenches I have dug out in the past,Well do for problem-solving as you go,
Thanks Paul , got there in the end 🧱👍🏽
Great video
Thanks pal 🧱👍🏽
That's not a footing, that's an archialogical dig🤪
😆😆 not far off ! 🧱👍🏽
👍🏾
😁🧱👍🏽
Well lads very impressed with the way you managed to get round the problems on this one hats off to you 👏
Thanks John , it was a testing one this 🧱👍🏽😬
Please use Dust suppression !!!
It’s an electric grinder 😳⚡️😵💫
@@SteveAndAlexBuild tell that to the hse when the neighbours complain about the dust. It's the next big thing after asbestosis
Can’t fault you guys on the quality of you work but you need to get up to speed with your access to height arrangements. Independent bandstands and scaffold board with no edge protection is iffy. A step or trip off the edge plus landing in the excavation you’ve dug could easily end up with life changing injuries. Noted a mobile tower of scaffold might not suit but safe stand do a bandstand arrangement that incorporates edge protection and secured ladder access.
Ex builder now H&S advisor…… who’s done risky things in the past and been lucky. I know too many people who haven’t had my luck. Look after yourselves.
🧱👍🏽
Wow, no lintel over the window!
Very common 🙄🧱👍🏽
Bricklaying addiction should be registered with the NHS, you haven´t laid a brick yet and I´m sweating on when the next instalment will be.
🤣🤣 🧱👍🏽
Great video as always. But please tell Alex not to work kneeled down by the trestle, especially without a hat. I would hate for something to get accidentally kicked off the platform. Stay safe guys 👍🏻
Thanks pal will do , thanks for your concern 👌🏼🧱👍🏽
never use a t-pipe for the toilet. asking for problems
🧱👍🏽
Come on lads, the Germans have already dug theirs and laying the barbed wire
🤨😏🧱👍🏽
cant hear your audio when you talk away from mike
Sorry pal , we are working on it 🧱👍🏽
Another awkward job (again) . How did you get foundations the same level all round 🧐
Hi Doug , if you mean the concrete we put nails in the side of the trench 👌🏼🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Yes thanks i was referring to concrete. How did you level the nails to the right height. 👍
Blimey! So now you have *window fitters* jumping on the brickwork bandwagon? Window frame supporting bricks with a bit of flashing to boot? Who needs lintels!
Weird how they took the trouble to open up for the tray but didn't bother with the most important bit 🙄🧱👍🏽
yep 😂🧱👍🏽
With double glazing firms the salesman has no building experience or does but doesn’t give a damn. Old timber windows that where built in as the house was built were robust and provided support to the external brickwork above. Rip out those windows and replace them in with none structural UPVC and there’s the support gone. If your lucky they might put a drip tray in to catch any driving rain that penetrates the outer course and runs down the cavity. Even luckier if they’d put in weep vents to let any water out.
