You guys are an inspiration, well done.

[@tonydalton6756]

I can't believe how these houses don't fall down. They look like they are falling apart. Well done again lads.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

😆cheers Tony 🧱👍🏽

[@philtucker1224]

Well done lads, those old 1940 type houses are often rather crumbly!

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Certainly are ! Cheers Phil 🧱👍🏽

[@Micky1884]

Steve "weve got a 10 foot concrete lintel to install" Alex "Hold my beer" Blimey that looked hard work lads, well done !

[@kevincorbin6273]

Good thing that window was there to hold those bricks up !

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

😬🧱👍🏽

[@hilaryandbrianreid9876]

[@michaelingram4539]

Well done lads 💪

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Thanks Michael 🙌🏽🧱🧱

[@guygfm4243]

Very good job

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Cheers 🧱👍🏽

[@GeeTheBuilder]

Fair play guys, that lintel looked heavy 😱

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Thanks pal it was 🥵🧱👍🏽

[@jamescarid3448]

Do the concrete lintels have steel in them? Great job.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

They do James Thanks 🧱👍🏽

[@Joe74854]

Quick question ,won’t that dpc tray sag in the cavity ,btw that lintel proved a swine to get in

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

It certainly was and no it won’t 🧱👍🏽

[@mickshillito2199]

Well done once again the lintel vortex seems to getting stronger 😂 well done Alex thought you'd drawn blood at least we never heard you swearing 🤬 😂xx

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

😩🤣🧱👍🏽

[@ljd8520]

I notice you gents just use the tip of the strongboy , is that OK, I tend to mess about getting it stabbed all the way through the wall,, but then the ones I hire are mostly bent so the inner leaf is not getting g full support ? Any tips here ?

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

They’re not designed for that . They are designed to keep the acrows away from the wall to allow more room to work 🧱👍🏽

[@ferjarvis2841]

Why was there no lintel above that window, was it like that when it was built?

[@jjfarrell9349]

There was an arch which should have taken most of the weight, and the original wooden frames would have been structural which would also help take weight. Replace it with a non-load-bearing window and damage the arch while you're doing it, and you've got trouble.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

👍🏽👍🏽

[@philtucker1224]

They didn’t have lintels a thousand years ago. Arches usually last a lot longer!

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

@philtucker1224 👌🏼💪🏼💪🏼🧱👍🏽

[@riptiz]

Might I suggest getting some little airbags, probably would have lifted the beam for you when you needed to get above the slate etc. I know hindsight is a great thing. Great job trying to make a silk purse from a pigs ear.😊

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

They would have been perfect 😩🧱👍🏽

[@davidstanley5298]

well done i have never watched a video where i was falling off my seat trying to help somebody put an lintel in geat job lads my hands was nearly on the p/c screen i just wanted to help you both put it in top lads love it

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

😆😆cheers David 🧱👍🏽

[@sgtmark8844]

Any reason you used the concrete lintel instead of a steel one . Cheers

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Big span unstable wall we can pack it up tight 🧱👍🏽😁

[@davidbrook5823]

Back in order I see

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

👍🏽🧱

[@warflair1312]

Have you slipped up with the early 8am start? Just checking. 😂 Looking forward to it whatever time it starts

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

😬 I’ll check 🧱👍🏽

[@dob7184]

Some of the H&S on these Jobs

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

😐

[@Creedius]

Great video as always lads! Good fun watching, PRAISE TO THE LINTEL!

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

😆😆thanks summer 🧱👍🏽

[@markhep]

Kingston 👋👍

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

🧱👍🏽

[@martin2466]

Who is the Lady, observing proceedings at 31.06.? The next door neighbour - presumably...?

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Ah it is our customer chatting at the end of the job 😁🧱👍🏽

[@markrichardson5295]

Why has Alex got a hivis on yet Steve hasnt??

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Because that’s what we pulled out of the draw that day 😎🧱👍🏽

[@philtucker1224]

Very important in heavy traffic situations.

[@nigel1964]

Evening all just hope it works tonight

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

😁🙌🏽🧱👍🏽

[@janitia]

why did your porch fail?

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

It’s explained in the previous videos

[@nigeats65]

How is the other Porch going...? The one at home...?

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Painfully slow 😔🧱👍🏽

[@Lynnpjjbdndji]

Wooden windows were part of the structural integrity of the house ... PVC windows are not ...

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Yes

[@michaelcottam2764]

Knowing the weight of the lintel and Steve’s health, why on earth didn’t you guys hire a Genie ?

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Where would it go ?

[@Michael-j7n9m]

Alex had his weetabix that morning

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

That’s my boy 😍🙌🏽🧱👍🏽

[@Michael-j7n9m]

💪💪💪💪

[@janitia]

tat music noise is so irritating miss the talking as have to turn volume off when its on. rather have silence than that noise

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

🙄

[@michaeldoxey1240]

Your son needs to hit the weights.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

No he doesn’t

[@philtucker1224]

Good if you sit at a desk every day, but if you spend your whole waking life lifting heavy items then it’s not really relevant. A good night’s sleep is far more beneficial in that respect.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Definitely Phil 🧱👍🏽

[@pat_link_]

It's brilliant video. I missed the live due to work, but it was nice to watch after a long day. If there was a TV show named after Steve and Alex it would be the " Lintel King's" 🤜🧱🤛

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Cheers Pat thanks for that 😁🧱👍🏽

[@martin2466]

Chaps, 10ft 6x4 is that all.....? Some of the pre-cast and reinforced, Boot lintels we use to put in, would put that minnow in the shade.... Those "Bas*ard - boots", were nothing to boast about, they are part of the reason I now walk with a stick. Was that arch a "relieving arch".? or was it just relieved to see you? Pukka video as always chaps. Carry on - and be careful out there on sites. 😁👍🧱🔨

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

😬😁😁🧱👍🏽
