Video

I really enjoyed the video. Two things that I'd really like to see more of are: First the bit from 1:00 to about 1:45 that takes about the beam cross section, compression, tension, etc. I'd really like to learn more about the logic behind this. Second, I'd like to learn more about the hand tool technique in cutting the mortises with that large chisel.

Didn't see any lifting though?

Robin is great. He reminds me of a British Homelander if he went into roofing

Car jack and building blocks

Just get I lifted

You shouldn't need anything that bog in a house. A feiend of mine has just been told the steel sizes for his loft extension and they are far bigger than we used to fit. Im not sure whats going on with planning and regs but that along with the rediculous. Insulation rules is going mad. Never heard of any failing. Why the over engineering?

Theres me just using them blue bosch masonory bits. Switch it to hammer after after ur thru the tile. Didnt realise it was an exact science tbh

I love this channel , Roger you have a great way of conveying not only how but why ( much like one of my other favourite channels ) I’m a handy man ( the trade you professionals hate 🤣😂 ) and I’m always striving to do the best jobs I can. Good bricklayers impress me no end , I could probably lay about 3 bricks an hour ☹️ Your channel is priceless to me, cheers guys 👍👍

Steel beams have always been heavy

I’ve often had this concern about laser levels ( so I chose not to look directly at mine ) Great information as always 👍👍

Excellent 👍 with the exception of the polythene between the hardcore and concrete , I did my shed base in exactly the same way. Makes me feel like a pro 😁 Excellent as always guys 👍👍

Slightest touch and they break

Trolley is cheaper does the same job been doing it for years

Agreed. LBC quality is absolutely shocking now. They send in a pack of premium priced face bricks as if they were regrades. Poor molding, cracks and chips, and they're even starting to get cheap with the faces, by giving you only one head on most of their bricks, meaning you have to frog down. Why the fuck these bricks are so expensive I don't know.

Lazy dogs....

Those girders they use on house extensions are ridiculous they would hold blackpool tower up

Used to carry those on my shoulders

Love the T shirt.

Find an estate agent you can trust? Er? What send out emails, to them, asking if they can be trusted? or ask them questions, like if you find a fiver, on the street, what would you do with it?

And to use them you need to do a four week course which will cost upwards of 1k 😂

Why can’t one impregnate the wall with dispersion open material? I heard it keeps the heavy rain out and lets the wall breath water out

And then what how do you lift it through the door and lift it into place when your equipment will not fit through the door genie lifts are much better and faster then that lmao

This country is just getting lazier by the day

If you are not comfortable with using bleach, try undiluted vinegar instead, it is good at killing mould as well.

You can go higher than 2. 5m at the boundary with planning and a non flammable build right?

Oh yeah, we all need an Irritant tee-shirt. Great educational visual. 😊

Rodgers been smoking the good auld whacky backy. Its been pishing it down for months with only a week a dry weather here!

That a 203x203x46?our boss had us lift those 🤦‍♂️ man would destroy your back by your 30's that thing would have been some job for a few jobs we were on rather than lift or drag

Useful. Thank you

Great vid, nice one. Thanks for taking the time to make these, they are so useful and it really helps. Question if I can please; if you have a wall that's longer than you can plaster first-coat in one go, and you're on your own, how do you go about sorting that? Would you complete the whole wall and let the left side go off a bit too much, or feather the right hand edge into the unfinished section and take care of the left whilst it's still in a good condition to work on?

You underestimate how much builders will do to save money. Had two 6.5m steels put in and 5 lads just carried it round the house and lifted it up 2m into position.

Useless in most cases

Roger uploaded a video he didn't film last week !!!!.....oh no, best call the CZcams police. Some people ! smh

One on each shoulder

Over engineering

How do you work out the volume of materials needed for the base concrete? For my base I need approx 1.5cubic m, but I’ve no clue how much material I need. Thanks

It’s never sold as a maintenance free product because it’s not

Congrats mixing your own on a slab that big ! Hard work that 🧱👍🏽

Indian dekhaya karo😮

Love you guys!

This is better than a movie. Thank you for the good lessons.

Where is this 2.5m limit measured from if you're building on a sloping ground? We have a garage at the back of our garden and it's 2.4m tall from the access road level going behind it. But the garden is sloping down towards the house so from the ground level at the house end it's taller...

Shouldn't the base be same level as existing ground? It's 2.5 height of overall building not the back when within 3m from boundary. Have the regulations changed?

This is ridiculous. 8 blokes with straps couldve shifted that easily.

Simple and very understandable explanation. Thanks for the class

Great project lads. Well done.

Great T-shirt Rog - we have warning signs for all our bedrooms & bathroom doors - Danger of Death, Trip Hazard, Risk of high noise levels & Biological Hazard ! No mention of membrane, landscape grids and gravel, do you consider this insufficient for a garden structure ? I used a hybrid system laying a membrane, then laying concrete blocks around the perimeter and a few internal pads then infilling with hardcore before blinding with a weak dry mortar mix.

I'm really confused, You built that base and built the 1 day flat pack garden room on it over a year ago???? You are obviously showing it in a different order with a years gap between them.

Strength is only one component of success. What if you need to unglue the joint? Name me one of those glues that can be unglued and reglued.....:)

Really good, instructional video. Thanks, lads. We never stop learning, and I will be sure to try some of the skill tips outlined in the video.
