FAILED !!! NO WONDER THIS PORCH SANK WE ARE BACK ON THE PORCH JOB WHILE ALEX AND JASON GET THE DIG DONE.
FIRST THEY BREAK OUT THE VERY POOR CONCRETE THEN DIG THROUGH THE VERY SOFT BLACK GROUND UNTIL THEY EVENTUALLY HIT CLAY 4 FEET DOWN WHILE I AM RE BUILDING THE PIER ON THE FRONT GARDEN WALL.
I RETURN A DAY OR TWO LATER TO GET THE CONCRETE LEVELLED AFTER THE BOYS FROM THE CONCRETE COMPANY BARROWED IT IN FOR US. IT TOOK 2 CUBIC METRES AS WE HAD HOPED.... ENJOY

I love hard work, I could watch it all day, good job
🧱👍🏽
Nice wall rebuild that Steve. Blends in well. No wonder the "footings" failed 😱
Shite behaviour Doug 😒🧱👍🏽
Those houses look very familiar! I used to live in that area, and we had to have a raft for our extension (the exisitng house wasn't on a raft though!) The builder described the earth as being like blancmange.
Sounds about right 😩🧱👍🏽
I like the finish your Homemade tamper leaves.
Cheers 🧱👍🏽
Would you not consider a small digger one of those ali express jobies with all attachments save Alex and your backs stveve and you can drag it around with your van 🤔
Nope absolutely not 🧱👍🏽
a great job being done and what a depth you had to go to to get solid ground I wonder what the house is on , Thanks for the video
Cheers Eddie 🙌🏽🧱🤙🏾
@SteveAndAlexBuild. Thank you for this video on the continuing saga of the “leaning” porch. I hope this is not too much of a stupid question. Do you still need to use those agitator/vibrator wands when pouring big(ger) volumes of concrete - say for foundations? I can only think that these devices were used to drive out air pockets? Maybe certain concrete mixes and more modern ingredients in the mix means you don’t need to in the 21st century - but I am just guessing. Keep up the good work fellas. Stay safe and well.
🧱👍🏽
Great job lads nice to see proper builders do a great job well done
😁👍🏽👍🏽
I really think you guys need to invest in a mini digger👍
We have a PayPal account feel free to donate the money for a mini digger
I agree or bloody hire one dirt ,,,, cheap
To dig a porch ? Not worth the extra cost to the customer
Jimmy Hoffa may be under somebody’s porch.
Who ?
Hey lads! Building mine as we speak I’m doing concrete blocks outside skin and thermalites inside skin porch will have main door and an internal door into the house what do you set the cavity at ? And do you just sit and dab inside ? Would really appreciate your help 🙏
We have done a 50 mm cavity for space.
we are dot n dabbing the boards inside
good luck 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild thanks mate, do building control not want you to insulate it ? I thought I had to do 150mm cavity insulation 🤯
@DeanW-1990 . Not in a porch under 3 m square 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild So you leave a clear 50mm cavity and don’t insulate the porch what so ever ?
Hope you've had your hip done by now Steve. Had mine done 3 weeks ago. The difference is incredible and well worth the pain and discomfort of the op. I'd say you'll be back building within 6 weeks of having yours done no problem. Modern medical methods are unbelievable. Good luck to you and Alex going forward. 👍
Be lucky if it’s done within 12 months . Been waiting 14 now 😔
I am ex nhs. You should make an appointment to see your MP and state your case. He should sort it they carry a lot of clout with the nhs.
🧱👍🏽
All that lovely topsoil 3 ft down . Lol
🧱👍🏽
What were the services? You just concreted them in the footings with no protection. Just curious.
The lead pipe is dead and the electric cable was protected 🧱👍🏽
hello there guy's are you having fun😄👍
I was 😉🧱👍🏽
Wrong choice of word there Steve, competent 😂😂
😬😂👍🏽🧱
My word Steve you certainly pick some jobs , you nearly saw kangaroos at the bottom of that hole.
Joking aside, that was filthy ground I certainly would not have enjoyed digging that. Alex was rushing around being busy and showing who was boss I dont know the other chaps name but he was going like stink.
A very good video I enjoyed it immensely thanks.
Best regards as ever Ken.
Jason and lex make a great team 😁🧱👍🏽
Dang, my sewer pipe is 8’ down. I have split in pipe. $$$ to fix.
🫣😬🧱👍🏽
Nice work Lads so was that a sewer pipe when you were digging down 4 foot?
Cheers .. no pipes 🧱👍🏽
8:47 - the word is industrious
🤙🏾👍🏽🧱
Why do you not use any bar reinforcement in the concrete, especially when working on "dodgy" clay ground?
No Need
@@SteveAndAlexBuild I just think you could have saved half the expensive concrete by filling the bottom of the trench with some limestone ballast, then placing a basic reinforcement in the concrete.
The extra expense of the steel would have cancelled out any saving on concrete plus all the extra hard work barrowing in the stone then wackering it then picking up steel mesh , then cutting it to size then placing it.
Trench fill concrete all day long 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Thank you for troubling to reply. There are many ways to "skin a cat" and what you have done suits your operation, but I would have saved more than half the concrete by using ballast and reinforcement, especially on clay ground. Interesting video, as always.
@christopherhindle1174 🧱👍🏽
No wonder the porch failed , slab on grade on poor soil. You think maybe there’s a reason for a proper footing and foundation. I wonder how some contractors sleep at night. Best mates
🤦🏽♂️🧱👍🏽
How far down do you have to dig your footings!??
This one was 4 feet 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuildthat nuts, in the us. We probably would go half that!
Crap ground 🧱👍🏽
Sole destroying moving the spoil twice and costly too
No choice if you’re waiting on a skip swap
Forgot the outro again Alex.😂
Nope just too busy 🧱👍🏽
Dam that dirt is so soft.. I could easily get my meterage in for a day's work.
👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Sorry to be sarcastic but yea i feel for you. I had the same problem myself when I was doing footings for a conservatory ended up digging down 4ft until we hit good ground. made me think how the hell did the footing's of the house built in 2002 get signed off?
@timduck8506 very true , we hit 4 feet too 🥵🧱👍🏽
Don't work to hard will ya 👍
🤷🏼♂️
How come you are not signing off the videos now? Enjoying the videos a lot though.
To be honest they are a waste of time , very few people watch that long and even less listen and even less bother to act on it 😔🧱🧱👍🏽
Good luck to the unlucky one that ever might have to change that pipe.
Why would you change a dead pipe
Again, the intro spoils it for me....
Skip it then
I do....
@@SteveAndAlexBuild 😂 Simply put!
I do it seems to be the trend, lots of TH-camrs do this spoils it for me as well.
Agreed - I always skip the intro... Don't see the point 🤷🏻♂️
you could build the next titanic on them new footings you put in there fella i think they built the first titanic on the original footings thats why it sank footings was rubbish
🤣🤣💪🏼🧱👍🏽
No Re Bar or mesh ??
Nope
Thanks very much 🤜🏾🤛🏾🧱👍🏽
Cracking job as always .Trench fill concrete is definitely better .very soft ground that but you all did a great job digging to harder ground.
Did you have to charge more to the customer Steve 👍🧱🧱💯
I actually priced this one quite well for a change Justin 🤣🤣
I allowed 2 days to demo and dig and allowed f or 2 cube of conc which was spot on 👌🏼😍🧱👍🏽
@SteveAndAlexBuild
Good news then Steve 🤣👍.Anything can happen in the ground .we price up and make it clear then if we need to go deeper etc we can charge extra for it .It's all explained before work begins soft ground or building control changes etc .
Glad you got it all right mate 👍 🙌💯
Yeah mate we ve started doing that .
Covers everyone 👌🏼🧱👍🏽
