[@Joe-jv5mm]

Good tips 👍

[@CharlieCollison]

Get them tools cleaned up 😉

[@PATTERSONCONSTRUCTION]

Level is absolutely caked in muck to be fair 😂 I might treat myself to a new one you know. Hope your well mate

Mucky level but fresh white jumper 🤣

[@garysmith9877]

Backward profiles, mark a level line around the job, work down cut on the bottom if it needs it, old news, get out the footing that’s were they put the mongs,

[@stephendale239]

good work mate

[@PATTERSONCONSTRUCTION]

Thanks mate

[@MagicMaciek]

Nice Video :D

[@PATTERSONCONSTRUCTION]

Thank you mate

[@Fordmad90]

How can you guarentee your profiles are set square to each other fair enough the pins on the corner but theres room for error doing it this way i would at least run a line threw

[@PATTERSONCONSTRUCTION]

We do run lines as well mate

[@Fordmad90]

@@PATTERSONCONSTRUCTION I know you will run a line from your profiles but I mean when your setting them up before the lines go on how can you guarantee the profiles are square to each other from just putting them next to the pin

[@Fordmad90]

Sorry for my questions I have just always set up from hurdles and plummed down off q line I haven't done any big site work

[@kevocos]

Young mans game that! Are those blocks solid concrete? Why use them instead of the thermolite trench blocks? Would be much quicker and easier to lay!

[@PATTERSONCONSTRUCTION]

Not sure mate, this site has never used thermo trench blocks yet

[@gavinpaterson4559]

I have done foundations for over 30 years and only used trench block once there not used much in Scotland it’s normally 6inch concrete internal and 4 inch external

[@davebarrow2194]

I got 300 facings down and 10.45am lashing down! Was hoping to get a canny chunk done today🙈.Forecast chod Friday by the looks of it ffs.

[@PATTERSONCONSTRUCTION]

Good going that mate. The weather isn’t looking good at all mate. I’ll still get in and see what we can do like. Are you still going in?

[@davebarrow2194]

Aye,I will still show willing mate.

[@PATTERSONCONSTRUCTION]

@@davebarrow2194 best way mate, we’ve got to be a cut above the rest

[@davebarrow2194]

Defo matey

[@benjicampbelton]

4 course of block is 900 plus 8 brick is 600 = 1500

[@PATTERSONCONSTRUCTION]

Trench blocks are 140mm

[@888fruity]

Is there no more pads to start

[@PATTERSONCONSTRUCTION]

They aren’t letting anyone on them yet mate. Hopefully get one soon

[@danfenton89]

Anthor good job again mate 🧱👌

[@PATTERSONCONSTRUCTION]

Thanks bro 😎

[@rikkigann2618]

Why 8 course of bricks? Put extra trench in?

[@rikkigann2618]

And double check ya heights with dumpy or laser what’s to say ya concrete is bang on level

[@PATTERSONCONSTRUCTION]

I didn’t have my laser with me today but I’ll take it in tomorrow and double check mate. Also 8 course for ground height mate.

You won’t be doing that at the gym in 10 years if you stay in they fooonds😁😁😁🤙

[@PATTERSONCONSTRUCTION]

Thankfully this will be a once in a blue moon occurrence 😂😂

Footings are no worse on your body than doing supers if they are scraped off completely. No excuse for all that island crap. Work from barrow and off pallet for blockwork no need to stack out. Wouldn’t do them if not I’m not working like a mountain goat.

[@PATTERSONCONSTRUCTION]

@@scottjohnson1456 but they rarely come completely flat. 99% of the time you’re working in a trench so it would be impossible to use a wheel barrow, and how could you work from a pallet? That doesn’t even make sense

[@scottjohnson1456]

@@PATTERSONCONSTRUCTION Decent groundwork companies will flatten them off all the ones we do are. We did few that weren’t for someone else it took so much longer. It doesn’t take anytime in a machine to sort it. You can then get your materials/ blocks next to where you working and work from them. Only moving them once . Mixer put next your footing no need for tubs all that mixing station crap waiting for driver to bring it. Bricks only thing need to be loaded out on inside skin for doing your splash obviously

[@PATTERSONCONSTRUCTION]

@@scottjohnson1456 sounds like you’ve got a good system going on but it would never work on the sites around here. We get ready mix as well so we have to get tubs. It would be a dream doing footings if all ground was scraped away

[@mickraines8908]

Nice clean level🫣,,, not😂😂😂
