Thanks Steve, I watched all you garage builds and got some very useful tips. Great to learn from each other. Im still learning lol. Up to Warrington after this to do an extension so be asking you where the best places etc are👍🧱
Great channel, really good to watch a skilled professional at work. Love the explanations. Went a bit quiet for a while with few uploads....and I missed watching them. Good to see you are uploading again.
I feel your pain with builders merchants brother.. we’re still here on site waiting for a ‘first drop’ delivery from last Wednesday ! Great video as ever
Hey Chris I just bought a kiaweets kt360b twin laser level and the reciever beeping thing for £135 delivered of Amazon it had a £50 discount. That's not expensive I thought for a level and reciever and would have saved you the time alone on one job probably. I don't work for them or anything just letting you know that deal is on at the min as it's not big money. And thanks for the videos, this one gives me a chuckle with your van reg plate blurred out in one shot then not on the next couple then blurred again.
Watching this in preparation for starting my own project. Is there any reason the blocks were upright on the first section you did, but laid flat on the other side of the garage? Thanks for the very useful videos 😎
Just a quick question. Can you put kingspan or insulation on top of the visqueen/damproof before the concrete goes in to stop heatloss through the floor of the garage is attached to the house?
Yes, I did this on the extension to this house earlier in the year. The floor needed to come up to the level of the room in the house when it was knocked through, I put insulation in before the concrete was poured to bring it up to the house floor level.
Hi mate, my client had plans drawn but didn’t need planning or building regs, the only issue was a tree this had to be agreed for it to e chopped down and thats all building control wanted
This is the go-to video for footings and setting up. Brilliant content.
Thank you, much appreciated 👍
Really like the explanations on each step. Its real life and real working out👍

Hi, nice work. Did I miss the part of not using a mesh in the concrete layer?
First video where I was excavating the foundations, we’re placing the fabric mesh in to the concrete
Hello Chris,
Amazing craftsmanship! How can I get in contact with you regarding a similar job?

Thanks for sharing. So in cm how deep is the concrete?
