Hard graft there as usual 💪🏼.
That wall took sone getting out !
I like that vertical post design 🧱👍🏽
Thanks Steve, those were a terracotta internal block and were splintering as they were being chiselled out. The post took some getting right, had to drill my own holes on the bottom steel and that’s how I got them to line up! Have a great day guy’s and keep up the good work! you’re prolific works👍👏🧱⚒️
awesome work
Show parabéns teus trabalhos são lindos e bem feitos ! Abraços do Brasil 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷
Aww obrigado, isso é muito apreciado
👋💪
It always amazes me that small builders prefer to put the structure in after they have built the shell, whereas normally the structure goes in first and then the shell is built on to it. This small builder mentality caused a major cock-up on my house extension because the builder and his chippy couldn't set the building out properly, leaving them with all sorts of bodges to make it work. The problems were not noticed until it came to size the steels for fabrication, when it was too late to insist that the roof be taken down and rebuilt. What added to the annoyance was that I had provided the steel fabrication drawings, which ought to have meant that it all went up like meccano.
Ours went in bang on, next doors didn’t have steel and I don’t know how they got away with it🤷
@@foundationgood123 I don't doubt that its possible to install steelwork after the shell is erected, that happens all the time in refurbishment projects, but its a bit cart before the horse on new builds. I suppose that you measured for the steel once the roof was complete and installed?
As regards next door - did they have a good engineer?
Hello,
Great job!!
I need your advice, please. I would like to build a single skin garage ,flat roof .
Can I use 3.5N concrete blocks instead of 7.2N?
Happy Easter!
Thank you.
Hi, not advisable to use the weaker blocks for exterior construction they won’t stand the weather conditions and will breakdown in a few years! Happy Easter😊
@@foundationgood123 Thank you!
Could you of put the steels in first?
Yes could have, this was the building Inspector’s add on 😂
@@foundationgood123 is it something to do with the roof pitch when you need a rsj ridge ?
@@Fordmad90 Yes, and the lateral pressure. I thought the size of timber we used on the ridge board would have been sufficient but they wanted a steel. Interestingly the next doors extension didn’t have one!!!
@@foundationgood123 must be expecting aircraft to land on the roof.
1st
When’s the next video 🪚🔨🪜
yeah I’ve Gotta do it just need a bit of time LOL
Mmmmm , seems a very long winded way of doing a simple roof ? Trouble is anyone can get into building ? Wish I could charge dentists rates for my carpentry ? Don’t get paid enough for my wisdom ?
There are those who talk and those that do
Your helpers are the slowest workers I’ve ever seen, I sure hope they do t get paid too much, actually pretty pathetic!
Oh aye up, there are those talk and those who work🤣
Why the ridge beam ?
Because of lateral force, its a bespoke roof ie no ceiling joists that would have added strength against the outward push of the rafters and with there being no pearling support the ridge beam adds strength to the roof
@@foundationgood123 totally under stand now, I did wonder 👍 nice work 🙂
@Chris Longhurst I see you've just answered my question from a previous video 😄😄
Could you not have put celling joists in anyway either above the vulex or just have large reveals round the vulex?
@@ross19891 Well, it was on the spec! I personally didn’t think it was deeded. We did box the ridge been with a very small ceiling but the Inspector wanted the ridge beam incorporated 🤷
Ridge steel looks a beast and way up high .Awkward one that but you made it look easy chris .well done lads 🧱👌👍
Thanks Justin, yes it was high, that was my Son lending a hand and my Grandson too. Great having family working together👍
