Nice job Steve tell Alex he is a lucky boy been in the building game myself 35yrs your a book of knowledge that’s priceless he will be a very good builder when you give him the book and the company. Top work ⚒👍🙏🏽
Extremely impressed guys. Professionals at work. If I had the time I would show some photos of cowboys whom built our extension. Shoddy job and absolute shoddy 'gangers' and that's a compliment, not that they deserve one. Positivity now, you are a great team, well done.
Wow! So glad ya'all had a nice weekend adventure to have a bit of fun! You deserve it! Alex it getting pretty handy with the K28 saw! Have a great weekend! Cheers from texas!
I've been meaning to get my hands on some work like this and never had the confidence . But watching you both hard at it has gave me the courage to smash it thanks !
Hi guys just completed a disabled ramp with 9" dwarf walls on a office entrance not really a trained bricky watched your videos for tips and advice 👍I see on another comment Rodians wife not doing very well 😪 I went through the same at their age didn't turn out good I hope this is not the case please send best wishes to them both ❤
Depends on the structural engineer, and there point loading calculations. Some like concrete pads on inside, some like 3 course of engineering bricks, The bricks are engineering anyway and blocks look like concrete so can’t get much better.
I've learned a lot watching you two work! That's one heck of a lintel!! Does the mortar actually stick to the tray material? Why the block on the inside instead of brick? I'm in the western US and have not seen this type of construction before watching your channel. Excellent work and fun to watch!
The mortar sticks to the dpc because it comes with a hatched key but its not like how mortar bonds to a brick etc. The blocks are used on the inside because they cover more area than the bricks do, advantage for the customer on cost as they're reasonably priced and easier on the layers as they can essentially do 6 bricks worth in one block! Its also useful for having a greater surface area for drilling etc in the future. Blocks are anywhere from a lightweight 2kN to 7+kN heavy duty for load bearing purposes etc.
Why don't they make a set of profiles so second profile slips into the one u have put up for ground floor then you should still be at gauge on your markings plus easier to level it up, they could also fit a couple of level bubbles mounted into them, I'm sure they would be easy to use !!. Sorry reworded what I meant hopefully it makes sense this time.
@@SteveAndAlexBuild seriously if they'd been bolted together would it have made any difference??. And making them longer three blocks wouldn't have needed to be cut. Also to avoid forgetting things how about a check list of bits required on the site ?? Weep vents for one...
It’s really just the self weight of the steel member, a concern is the expansion of the steel which will be more than that of the block resulting in small movement cracks to the plaster, this is always a problem. Great job though
Funny way to introduce yourself 😳They are lintels holding up a light weight roof so holding up a fraction of the weight , absolutely no need whatsoever for padstones
Love the music Steve proper 80s sound .nice property nice job gonna look lush that is . You defo made the move from.site now haven't you and i bet you dont miss it . Good move especially for Alex. Thorpe park would be a no go for me id not go on a single ride im a baby with all that stuff mate 🤣🤣🤣👍
@@SteveAndAlexBuild been 11 months already had it wow .Yea never go back to that crap now Steve . If i ever see you at a place where they have a roller coaster ill go on with you .you'll have to hold my hand put up with a load of language lots of noise and i may shit myself other than that id be fine .so there we are last one i went on was aroumd 1996 shit myself got off went straight back on never been back since 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
@@martin2466 not until one of the fuckers lifting the steel decides to sue you even though theirs nothing wrong with them.! Happened to me about 6 yrs ago , easy lift with 6 of us but this one dick saw an opportunity and because I didn’t do a risk assessment or a method statement he sued me.! I bet Steve or Alex didn’t do either.! Now I use genie lifts where ever possible.! And the insurance company nearly didn’t pay out because of no paperwork.!

do you not need pad stone for the steel ? I've used them on all my steels?
Not really that are just beefed up lintels for a lightweight roof 🧱👍🏼

Nice work. What's the reason for bedding the dpc down?
Cheers Paul ,Just to add a bit of grip 🧱👍🏽
Beautiful brick laying but what happened to the insulation in upper levels?
It went right to the top 😁👍🏼🧱
Just an observation but do the steels need to be on padstones or am I missing something?
correct me here if im wrong, but they are essentially lintels, they can be bedded on the brick and block, no?

those dolly's are really good its a pity you can not get them with a jack on to save you a bit more work and back breaking

Don’t you bother with padstones for the steels ?
They are just big lintels so no 🧱👍🏽
Was that Rodian I spied? hows his wife doing? Bloody hell those steels must have been back twingers. great job guys
They big uns but 4 of us sorted them out .
It was Rodian , unfortunately she isn’t too good 🤒😢🧱👍🏽

Do the not make you put pad stones under steels round your way?
Not for lintels 🧱👍🏽
Why don't they make a set of profiles so second profile slips into the one u have put up for ground floor then you should still be at gauge on your markings plus easier to level it up, they could also fit a couple of level bubbles mounted into them, I'm sure they would be easy to use !!.

Do you mind me asking who you use to spec up the steels?
These were just beefed up lintels so sorted them ourselves. Anything structural then it’s a structural engineer 🧱👍🏽

Question. Why didn't the steel I beams join in the corner with bolts and why was the shorter length not long enough ??
Because they are lintels not a ring beam and who said it was too short ?

Not builder so please for give the silly question.
What stops the the steels from moving as not look like the very secure
It’s on a mortar bed then fixed down 🧱👍🏼

Хорошая работа! 👍💪

On sites now they say anything over 3m a steel must be put on a double damp in case it moves. I think it’s a load of crap What you think ?
I’m with you pal , more ridiculous rules 🙄🧱👍🏽
I don't understand how those kinds of lintels can still be used that way (not separated, inside and outside). They are huge cold bridges.

damp course and bricks
