    SDS drill, oh yeah! Nice to hear praise for the other half, and glad to see your kids getting stuck in, I wish my lad would help us out now and again but he's turned into a hermit! All the best

    Jim that is fantastic. When you get finished ~ you and Ben need to come to my house. Ben can organize my shop and we can build a conservatory on the back of my house. Looking forward to your progress.

    How mate, could you please tell me how did you mix the concrete? What was the ratio between cement and sand. Also did you put limestones in it?

    • @dadsworkshop
      @dadsworkshop  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Cement mixer . I chucked shovel fulls of sand and cement in and added water .. no lime , that would weaken it . Mix for base standard .. 5 ballast 1 cement .

    Nice work Jim. Watched the whole build and it looks great. What sort.of planning permission did you need for this, if any?

    • @dadsworkshop
      @dadsworkshop  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      None for this fixed. Check with Google . But because it's not inside the house you don't need any . Just don't change windows or current external doors

    Interesting. My m8 (ex RAF Carpenter) has agreed to build me a timber large Conservatory. Any recommendation for which type of wood? How thick was UR concrete base pls?

    • @dadsworkshop
      @dadsworkshop  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Construction grade timber like I used . The concrete under the original patio was 8 tons ... So I used just a 4 inch thick base . No need for anything more sitting on that amount beneath it .

    How many bags of cement did you use?
    If you remember 😅

      Half a bag to every mixer full of sand .🥴

    Might be a stupid question… but is your row of bricks laid on top of the patio slabs?

    • @dadsworkshop
      @dadsworkshop  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yep . Those patio slabs are 2 inches thick , weigh 35 kgs each , under those patio slabs is 8 tons of concrete . Normally you would have to put a footing in .

    • @mattptn5279
      @mattptn5279 ปีที่แล้ว

      Could you don't in monoblocking? I doubt it because they don't have same footing as slabs

    • @dadsworkshop
      @dadsworkshop  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      None needed , it's a conservatory not an extension , different rules , Google will tell you

    • @bostonlincolnshire8745

      Generally, ok under 'permitted development' if built to side or rear of home.
