[@moedot7]

This was absolutely brilliant.

Thanks Moe! 😎👍

[@princealbert2011]

Why because when block paving is removed setting out lines will be lost?-madness to me.

[@shakilchaz5478]

Excellent

[@DerekTJ]

I think paradoxically, because you're sharing your wisdom and knowledge, it will drive business to you much more because people see it's not easy, rather than increase the number of DIY jobs.

[@robertcummins4165]

I'd dug the footing out first and concrete in, before acrows and taking walls out

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi Robert fair call everyone has a different take, for me it was one reason only steel lines with the cantilever steel in the concrete footing thanks for watching all the best Tony 👍

[@eduardovalentimdesouza5646]

Construção com excelência

[@BuildWithAE]

Obrigado! 👍

[@joeflanagan3911]

Thank you .

[@davidrowlands3053]

Need to make a video where you install the rain and foul water drainage systems within the base

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi we will being doing that in the next project, but it’s a separate system not shared as the Victorian project, manholes will alway be out side, if there is any specific but just let us know thanks Tony 👍

[@johannesmnguni9830]

Do more videos ,thank you

[@BuildWithAE]

On way

[@sundayfooty]

Good video guys.
Can you try and do a video showing us some shuttering ready for concrete pour. 👍🏽

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi Sunday Footy thanks 👍 we don’t do very much shutter work but if we do we can let you know, we did two massive concrete basements last year but unfortunately we hadn’t started CZcams at the time.Thanks for watching keep Safe

[@danilocynepppiloveyoumotas2401]

super.

[@kojomensah7474]

I would very much like to see you doing everything from scratch including sewage pip??

[@Blue60]

Very informative

[@BuildWithAE]

Many thanks Blue Boy 👍

[@craigashby1782]

Does the line paint still work best without slabs, if it’s just raw ground?

[@geoffnewman3109]

Surely you take up the slabs before marking out the footings?

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi Geoff,
On this particular job, we decided it was best to leave the slabs down. This way we could mark out the footings, cut the slabs exactly where we need to, and then the footings could be dug out leaving the surrounding area covered.
This meant that the site was not a mud bath, and gave us a nice area to work on 👷🏼‍♂️
Hope this helps.
All the best, John 😊

[@amro7183]

Thanks guys for this brilliant video, Ive just got a question, from the yellow line you will take 300 mm left side and 300 mm right side? so 600 mm foundation?

[@BuildWithAE]

Yes buddy spot on 👍

[@MagnetechSolidSolutions]

Where did you get your excess imperial bricks??

[@pelvi3a]

Would u not be better to lift the paving slabs first before marking this out?

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi pelvi3a we could of, but sometimes we have to evaluate all factors, site access regarding mud transfer, loads on to surface’s, digger tracks for level making easier dig and dumper taking mud away plus it was easier to show the process on slabs. Thanks for watching keep Safe all the best Tony 👍

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi pelvi3a,
We kept the slabs down so we would have solid ground underfoot during the digging out stage. If you check out our extension build series, you can see that we mark out and then use a petrol saw to cut out just the right amount of slabs to get the digger bucket in the footings. This meant that we weren't walking mud everywhere, as the majority of slabs were still down.
Hope this answers your question?
All the best, John 😊

[@pelvi3a]

@@BuildWithAE good idea, nice work, apolagies for questioning you 👍

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi pelvi3a my apologies please ask as many questions as you like all the best Tony

[@jonathanm9545]

Could you just use a total station

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi Jonathan,
You could potentially use a total station to mark out footings. However, as they are relatively expensive pieces of equipment, this technique would be a more widely used option.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for watching, all the best, John 😊

Couldn’t concentrate for trying to figure out the tattoos !
