I enjoy your methodical / no panic approach to every job, gives us amateur DIY’ers confidence to tackle our jobs
An absolute joy to watch this. No corners cut, everything planned and explained in detail. Quite often the finer details are ignored, I've seen so many lintel installations on TH-cam that have failed to explain how to position the lintel and how to get the mortar around it. Holding the mortar holder/finishing trowel in position and pushing in the mortar with a square ended stick works far better than a finger trowel. Also loved the timber guide idea. I would've marked it with a pen or spray paint and, as you point out, once the dust starts it becomes completely invisible. Anyway, great video, my kind of work, belt and braces. Thank you!
As a keen handy man I’m getting more confident watching your videos 👌🏻
That's good
Just wanted to say a big thank you . I followed your advice and video plus safety tips and successfully installed a lintel and new doorway on a brick outbuilding . I watched your video several times and it gave me the confidence to tackle the job, Oh and did not amputate any limbs following the timber batten guide 👍
You made a really daunting job look easy. Makes me feel confident at trying something like this myself. Thank you
You can do it!
I took my up and over garage door out recently,I had already made the frame and door to put straight in. The door which I had already made and is pre hung is 3” thick but I made mine to be outward opening to keep the floor space. I do like your video’s which are easy to watch and informative.👍👍
Wow, that looks amazing. So clean and tidy. Well done.
Nicely explained, not overkill, nicely filmed, I like the style of your videos.
Thank you - I try.
Absolutely fantastic video, really enjoyed watching that. I've been wanting to do something like this for years, so great to see you in action! Great channel also, loving the content - please post some more of the workshop!
Thank you very much!
This kind of work is always difficult, but as always you have done a good job of such a difficult job. Well done. Thank you for an informative video.
Thank you
Always get great inspiration from your videos. Can't wait for the next one!!
Thank you
Looks really smart in the end and much more useful than a huge brick wall! Good tip on fixing the batten for a straight cut, always pick up a tip I can use from your videos cheers.
Thank you. If you find just 1 thing interesting or new per video then I fell I've done my job!
One of the best DIY videos ever, an absolute masterclass!
Well thank you very much
Lovely looking tidy job. Nice comment about carbon monoxide poisoning. I ended up in hospital last year when using the same grinder to cut a floor. Windiest day ever, doors open, 2 roof windows open, masked up I thought I'd be fine. Half hour of cutting and I was sick and then passed out on the lawn! Few hours in a and e to sort me out.
Oh wow - that doesn't sound good! Dangerous stuff carbon monoxide.
That was a satisfying project to watch and the end result looks great! I've actually used an SDS drill bit in an ordinary chuck once, but it actually damaged the SDS shank of the bit ever so slightly. The damage was barely noticeable but it meant that although the bit would fit into my SDS drill, I couldn't get it back out again without disassembling the SDS chuck and removing the ball bearing which retains the bit.
Oh that's interesting. I won't try it again unless a real emergency!
As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement th-cam.com/users/postUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!
Great video, perfectly timed. I am just about to cut a hole for a new door and this pops up in my feed. I didn't even look for it. Thank you, this is going to be a great help. Good luck with the rest of the conversion.
Glad I could help!
Admirable attention to detail that many builders should learn from.
Thanks for sharing... I will use this to convince the Mrs. to let me add a pass door to our garage. Stay safe, Tim
Again another expertly produced video. I really enjoy your instruction. Keep up the great work..!!
Thank you. I will with feedback like that!
Made a daunting job look easy. Well done!
Thank you
And you re-used some of the bricks for the step making it look like
It was always there from day 1. Great work.
Yes, well spotted - no point in spending money on new bricks!
What a fabulous job. This is like watching snooker........the experts make it look easy, then I have a go! The finish is so neat on this job, well done.
Thank you. It's all practice!
Fantastic work, it's nice to see someone who cares about the job and helps others to do a good job. Really pleased I found this channel...
Thank you very much! Welcome aboard!
What a cracking video. Good use of the stick, it should not be underestimated. I liked your comment about the automatic amputation machine. Truth is, it easily capable of doing you proper damage. So don't muck about and protect yourself.
Thank you
Superb video. Been wanting to do this, but seems very intimidating. Feeling a bit better now.
About to cut an opening for a window so this was immensley valuable ... thanks so much
Love the way you work,,, we did break out a hole and then fit the lintel,,, lucky it was blocks and not bricks and garage didn't come tumbling down on us
Now we know better,,,
A job well done. Much tidier and neater than a lot of so-callled ‘professional’ tradesmen. I’m a builder and I aim for the same level of care and attention when I’m working on other people’s homes as I do when working on my own. Really boils my piss to see other trades carelessly attacking jobs and making an unnecessary mess to save a couple of minutes. Equally annoying is seeing the state that job sites are left in, both at the end of the day and the end of the job.
Well thank you very much - especially coming from someone in the trade - I appreciate that. Unfortunately many 'professional' tradesman that I come across do lack the finer points as they are focused on earning money and getting onto the next job. I still believe that anyone who cares about the work and gives the customer 110% will never be out of work and will win in the long run.
absolutely agree, no need to watch another video and this was my second one; which the first one was great too, he actually made his own lintel.
Great video, and a fantastic guide/overview. Thank you for sharing your great content, look forward to more.
Thank you
Spot on again Stuart, another excellent job 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
REALLY well done and very instructive -- THANK YOU!
By the way, you saved me from at least one potentially catastrophic blunder. Lucky to see this, I am.
Thank you. I really appreciate your craftsmanship and your videos, positive and pleasant.
I'm glad you are enjoying them
now that really is a proper job. great channel - keep it coming
Thanks - will do
Superb thanks. Only have one problem doing this myself. I'm scared to death of loosing a limb using one of those petrol grinders. I'm used to use table saws, angle grinders, jointers etc. Angle grinders are the most scary but that huge exposed blade is next level terrifying.
Excellent series of DIY videos.
So well explained and demonstrated. Really helpful. Thanks for going to all this effort. Appreciated 👍
My pleasure!
Another lovely job, so nice to watch your videos. Thank you.
I'm glad you like them
Fantastic video and job on the new Lintel and Doorway, it looks brilliant.
Stay Safe,
Barry (Wirral)
Thank you
Fantastic stuff ..I've searched endlessly to know how to do this putting in a window ..but no one until you explains better ..
Glad it helped
You are my new hero. Huuuuge man crush. 🤪 Seriously though, this is just about the most perfect a project video can get. I will be doing this indoors soon. Since the wall isn't that high I will probably have to support the top few rows before removing the bricks underneath. I'm thinking of drilling a hole right through a few of those top bricks and fixing them to an upright piece of timber. The walls will be plastered after so no worries about the holes in those bricks.
Very nicely done. Great video, to the point, well edited.
Absolutely awesome job mate! I've learnt a ton load watching this and will be putting what I've learnt to action.
Thanks again 😃
Glad you enjoyed it
Brilliant Mate! Exactly what I needed, and really well explained. Cheers.
Dude... many thanks from across the pond. I learned quite a bit. Thank you.
Exactly what I needed to know, clearly explained. Great video
Very nice job Stewart. Lovely finish.
Thank you
Looks great, you made a hard job look simple
Top DIY channel On TH-cam, well done the work shop is definitely coming along 👌
Thank you
I did this only this week to install a UVPC door in the side wall of my garage although I did not use a concrete lintel my garage was also single skin. I used a stihl saw the do the cut out like a knife through butter. great video thumbs up from me
Thank you
Good sir, a thousand thanks. Your work is excellent in all respects. The construction part, the pacing, the shooting, the editing - and the personality. I've been stuck indoors during lockdown and viewing too many videos. Your presentation and professionalism are head, shoulders and armpits above that of the idiots in back-to-front hats who shout at me. I could go on... But that's the way to make a video. I hope others will emulate you. Thank you. Very much.
Well thank you very much. I try to make it entertaining and interesting so I'm glad you like it.
Very impressed especially the use of a guide batton, which I’ll be trying soon.
Good!
Just found the channel, instant sub can't wait to watch the other videos, TH-cam algorithm finally came through.
Hello again Stewart, that wax another great job, I did like the way the door fitted in.
Glad you like it
So pleased I've found your channel 😊👍
Good
I love the little details like filling the holes in the motar were you fixed the battens to guide the brick cuts
It's all in the detail!
Brilliant job, love the videos. Keep them coming
They'll be coming!
I’m no bricky but that’s how it’s done I’m sure. Very professional 👏
Excellent video, thanks for sharing!👍🏿
Outstanding job!!
Nice job thanks for posting
Excellent stuff! You and the Gosforth Handyman are the best diy channels around.
Thank you. It's very strange when I've been watching Gosforth Handyman for a number of years to be mentioned in the same sentence - thank you.
@@ProperDIY I'll mention you in the same sentence as The Restoration Couple then another channel I enjoy very much although his watchword is "overengineering"!
He did a very nice job there.
Brilliant workmanship m8 !!!😊
That looks superb and really well explained... Thanks
Thank you
Definitely found my new favorite channel 👍👍
Wow, thanks! Welcome aboard
Nice job Stuart! 😍
Thanks
A smashing job well done and a great video which is easy to follow, kudo's friend.
Thank you kindly!
Another great video, of a job very well done
Knocking the bricks through did look very satisfying
And i guess you recycled some of the bricks for the step
God neat Job cant wait for the next video 👍👍
Thank you. Yes spot on. Still got plenty left for a future project.
Good video plus nice job thanks
This has been such a helpful video full of info. Thank you.
Particularly enjoyed the intro today as the head broke off my broom while I was sweeping the drive yesterday!
I'm glad someone else knows how it feels!
@@andymerrett Well spotted! An ever evolving intro! I assumed most people would be skipping over the intro by now.
super video amigos...regards from panama
Fantastic job 👍🏼
Thanks
Excellent Stuart!!!
Thanks
Fantastic work! 👌👍👊👏💥😉
Thank you
Nice job, as per usual.
Top job. Looks lovely that pal.
Thanks
Just a perfect video. As usual of course
Thanks again!
Lovely stuff. Some dog/hinge bolts will be a good addition.
Good idea
@@ProperDIY Cheap addition and anything to add to security always helps.
About to do this on my new garage so this has helped a lot. I’ll be going for a bigger door but it’ll be done the same.
I won’t be able to resist pushing the wall of bricks out though! 😂
Nice neat job 👍
Thanks
Another really interesting and useful video - thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
Really good video!
That's really good that!
Thanks
Very nice mate!
Make a T with the stick it's easier to pack in the dry mix , works well when under pinning.
Nice job stuart
Just subscribed to your channel really impressed. Learnt loads on the tape measure video and im an experienced diyer. Keep up the good work
Thanks, will do!
Nice doorway. It looks like you reused the bricks for the step up. I can't wait to see the finished workshop.
Thanks 👍 Yes exactly
Good job there
Excellent work! God bless
Thank you! You too!
Excellent work!
Thanks
awesome~!!
you're an inspiration!! you explain things really well. I drilled through a steel beam over the weekend using tips from your previous video
Glad I could help!
My wife's getting a bit edgy, I watch your videos then start eyeing up walls in the house....
That will keep you busy!
Lmfao
Great thanks
Great job , done to perfection , 👍, also brilliant work on camera, whilst doing a tricky job , lot of work behind the scenes getting the camera shots right
Thank you. Yes there is a lot of work and effort goes on behind the scenes
Top job, looks great! Just about to tackle our single skin side wall on the garage for access to our home gym. At least I should get 1 of the 95 jobs on the mrs’ to do list 😂
You sir are really good at what you do, and even better you are just as good at describing what you are doing, thank you.
I appreciate that!
