[@arian1457]

Im a graduate structural engineer but man something so satisfying about laying bricks in a perfectly straight level wall. Makes me wanna go out and do it

[@JanasZoro]

i am so glad i see a rebar in the basement for the first time

[@anastasios3006]

This is hard work, you have to appreciate the skill involved.

[@blackbob3358]

you pay some one to do the hard work, love. the skill is "having the means" to do so, 3006. i know, i was that digger, before any diddy kobotas were known in albion.

[@chrisl.9750]

This is mainly good work.. the way those bricks are laid, pleasure to watch.

[@Dannyvan14]

Oh man, I miss this, I used to work in construction just after school to make some extra bucks. Very satisfying industry.

[@peterjonas1545]

Wow, one of my favorite videos so far! Can't wait for the next parts. Well done guys!

Top job again lad I myself and I'm sure many others have learned a lot from you ....kcs attitude is amazing considering he Labour's for his son but I also know he's top man at other things such as windows and what not great team keep up the good work ....

[@coggsy3036]

Old guy showed me a great tip years ago and I always do it now.have a length of 4’’,damp lay it over the concrete from side to side and gently seesaw it back and foe once the concrete has picked up a bit just as you were doing with the timber tamper,take your time and you get a superb finish,it’s all about getting the concrete at the right stage of curing before you start rubbing it up with the damp. Great work too by the way👍

[@user-tc8rr9ue2e]

I do brick job in TW too and lean so much from your video, really good video and thank you so much!

[@gamechanger9907]

Good job mate, very tidy. 👍🏻 Most inspectors I deal with never ask for steel in the slab but ask for visqueen under and over the insulation.

[@RoninSkystorm]

Thank God there are still good old-fashioned brickies that know how to build things by hand

[@isyt1]

Should be able to build the Empire State Building on those footings 👍🏻

[@isyt1]

@How To survive ∙ 100 years ago Whoosh

[@lukeprice7782]

I normally put insulation on top of concrete then screed. But I must say you've done a really nice job there lads

[@pb9926]

Another great video Stu 👍 that's going to be a decent size extension, looking forward to the on going progress mate.

[@DerekTJ]

Such a great little channel you have going here! Keep it up man.

[@kevinetchells204]

Love your vids Steve. I try and pass my experience on in true life ways like you are doing....keep it up! Kev.

[@elllzzzzzz8752]

Fantastic work in all videos, I especially like the pointing one, I'm debating if to do it ourselves to save money but it's just getting up high worry about. Our house is over 100 years ago I think last time was pointed must of been over 30 years ago or more letting alot of water in now going on the walls. Brilliant video thanks

[@seaeaglekayak]

Can't wait to see this project progress, top work!

[@faz..]

Thats pure art. We need to appreciate every step we take

[@jayamay]

Look at the finish on that concrete! Cracking that!

[@bobmartin5101]

I really enjoy your work Stu, well done. See you in the next one.

[@michaelgrant6920]

Looking forward to seeing the progress on this, belting job.

[@leetherockjohnson5376]

Just watched this video, absolutely mint, educational, informative, great display on how to set off footings.

[@TheRaceDept]

Any idea on how much this part of the extention process would cost? Let's say the total build came in at £35k Inc labour, what proportion of that would you say is the foundation costs Inc labour?

[@jvicmedia8094]

loving your videos during quarantine

[@lysdexsick]

i've worked in job sites for years and we can see you are a tidy Bricky!! good work and proud of it, lovely to see!!!

[@imaknexus]

Nice, clean, proper job. Thanks for sharing Stu

[@MMG_MoonManGuitar]

Stu, I take it back. This is your best work. Very technical indeed. This really shows off your planning and foresight. Well done mate. Nice to see KC on the barrow. #properlabourer.

[@davidnelson5900]

great show this stu love it you have given me so many tips and knowledge thank you

[@EMan-cf8lv]

Gosh Stu this was simply amazing.

[@guymandude999]

Translation : Gosh Stu, your hands are amazing. what are you up to Friday night

[@cherylmatthews4066]

I got to have Wall Paper on the outside of my house, it looks lush lolol love watching videos like this. No wonder extensions cost so much, all the hard work and labour. love it.

[@nigel2093]

🤣I was thinking the same thing re the wallpaper, and don't forget the radiator, when it's too cold and wet to put the washing on the line, you can dry your smalls on the radiator, BRILLIANT!

[@dreadpirateroberts4052]

How common........I bet you haven’t got a radiator on the outside like me!

[@abdulsalom]

They probably had an extension there already but had to do again properly

[@garethheathcote4988]

@abe Salam oh wow I thought that they had actually plastered and decorated the back outside wall of their house!? Only joking mate,he said at the beginning that there used to be a conservatory there

[@abdulsalom]

@@garethheathcote4988 lol. I watch on mute so not to wake up the kids!

[@skinnyfizzy]

Great vid guys. Great job. I must have watched this about 10 times now

[@WHOAMI-vi1xr]

You are really in love with your masterpiece enjoying each and every moment .❤️❤️❤️❤️ from Kerala, India.

[@MrTwister86660]

Great vid Stu. I prefer these step by step ones

[@stephenthomond1336]

Just a tip for anyone else doing concrete, it needs to cover all the steel so don't butt the mesh to the shutter! Leave minimum 35mm👍

[@freegs]

Agreed. Minimum cover to reinforcement. Out of interest would you have pokered this slab?

[@scoobydo2]

Spot on! Great work plus a tidy site 👍👌👍

[@stanmiggins]

Never realized how much hard graft went into a job like this. Look forward to the next video Stu.

[@JackKing12.]

Liked to have seen the foundation concrete pour...must say...very clean site. The neighbour must be happy...

[@nickj3368]

Quality work, love watching it.

[@pauladventure]

the best vid for a long time, really interesting.

[@jaydenockers3025]

Awesome video man keep up the good work😎

[@cagmito76]

Very interesting always wonderered how to do foundations properly , thanks .

[@MrJohnnynapalm7]

Very good, Stu - thanks for sharing 👍

[@qwertysqwerty]

I apologize for my bad english. Good job. I am also building a house for myself. Building the first time in my life. Your videos ~ Life Hacking for me.Hi from Russia 🏠🌳🏡

[@Engineer9736]

Nice that you’re building your own house! But, keep in mind that different areas around the world have different building codes, caused by different soil and climate (frostline, humidity, etc). What’s code and perfect in the UK may not work well in Russia. Investigate it good to prevent problems over time. And have the foundation calculated by an actual engineer.. everything on top of the foundation depends on the foundation. If the foundation cracks then it’s goodbye home

[@davidwilde9993]

Doubt Russia really have that much regs like we do In the UK

[@qwertysqwerty]

@@davidwilde9993 Sorry, did not quite understand the word "REGS" .. what does it mean?

[@wesleyryall170]

awesome video mate, very insightful. u did a really clean job by the looks of it to very professional

[@laithal-janabi9345]

Great video Stu- Thanks for sharing

[@seanstorey4477]

Gotta love seeing a bricky doing a groundworkers job... you wanna come lay ma slabs on site bro

[@jayp7598]

So good. Amazing job Stu. Good job the gaffer KC keeps you right 👍

[@mikegeeguitarman8991]

Wish i had skills like these. Amazing stuff. So damn interesting. thanks for the upload.

[@TurinTuramber]

Good job pal as always. Get yourself a site level, makes life easy and you deserve it. 👍

[@Stucrompton1]

I will when I have £1k spare 👍

[@freegs]

Excellent video mate, much appreciated. Couple of questions - You didn't use any kind of crocodile starter bars or whatever when linking the brickwork to the existing house? No need to poker the concrete slab? Thanks.

[@pvallely100]

found this really interesting. I live in a new build and see the ground workers doing the footings all the time, never really understood all the work that went into them

[@garethheathcote4988]

@behappy there's tonnes and tonnes of weight that's going to be exerting downwards pressure so they won't be getting knocked anywhere.

[@BATMANONLINE01]

Absolutely amazing video.

[@tomraisis7339]

Great video really helpful

[@BHP15]

that was a very good video really thanks. what a pity we did not see the concrete pouring and the preparation of under insulation.

[@sandspatel]

Great work fellas. Definitely a job for a team.

[@GeekStreet]

Really good video and very interesting to see the process, my neighbour is having their extension done and i actually saw the builder doing the foundations and in the last 50cm he and hes team started putting in large pieces of concrete they had dug up into the footings and hiding by pushing them down...is the that bad??

[@liyaslakhanpuria6625]

Your work is very good sir

[@nyla0121]

Really neat work!! 👏

[@marso9341]

Hi Stu, great videos and work. One question, at your door threshold how do you fill your cavity as the concrete slab is only to the inner leaf? Thanks

[@mra9248]

Always worth getting the foundations right, otherwise your chasing your levels until knee height. 👌👍

[@zzzzz31a]

Another top job. Makes me think I should of gone into the building trade. Very envious of when you can do. Keep the good work 👍

[@brillcars0907]

Work of art 👍🏽

[@stevengao8345]

thanks for this wonderful builder tutorial, may I ask what is the depth of the foundation ? 2 feet ? is it depends on the floors you gonna build above it ? sorry for some noob question.

[@chriswoodward8236]

Keep up the good work stu your going places, especially with KZbin, I reckon you will have your KZbin silver play button for 100k subs before Christmas. You have come along way since the periscope days!!! Remember them? First Post but long time sub. Keep going mate

[@Stucrompton1]

cheers chris only just seen this i do remember the periscope days haha

[@philiphurdwell3443]

Just to join the fun I moved away from the trowel about 5 years ago and have an architectural design biz . When on the tools I did floor details just like that(although not as tidy or flat!!!!) These days everyone wants underfloor heating so I draw them with celotex over as it deflects the heat upwards. I'm not judging I promise just joining the convo!!!!!

[@buildingsurveyor]

very informative channel!! helps with Uni work:D

[@general6449]

Love your channel keep it up...👍🏾
