Concreting, Brickwork and Steels

[@donoconnor4204]

Great viewing this as always! Luke is a great bricky! Just gets stuck in every time.

[@kleinisfijn]

That tile removal at 23:27 was amazing. I though it was a panel, but it's real tile!

[@w.o.o.d.y]

Quality work done once more guys. Looks like the weather was with you too !! NIce one.

[@fardastevie2827]

a well thought out plan love how you have made the job stress free good works guys cant wait for future videos

[@lazylad8544]

Cracked on with this one. Brilliant job as always. And no back chat off matt. 👍👍

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Gotta love a bit of back chat it wouldn’t be the same without it 😁👍🏻

[@kingofthetrowel1725]

Nice one fellas proper job once again👍👍 deffo prefer needles to strong boys at least with needles you are overkill 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@paulf2529]

The brick match is very good, im quite particular and would be more than happy with it.

[@adamuk73]

Compulsive Sunday viewing. Great video lads 👍

[@ElemennoP]

Proper job.. well done lads..👍

[@ir7868]

I seen many building site videos this is best music 💪

[@ColinJerromes-z5z]

If I can help. What I would do when you need to sheet up in kitchen etc. I would use the plastic sheets that used for paint spraying. It is usually blue in colour and it has a tape on the top and it can stick to the Cornise and the large one will reach from cornise to floor. I hope it helps, you’ll probably tell me to walk across motorway, but it’s meant well. Take care from Colin the retired decorator 🤠🤠🤠

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Not at all Colin. We will always accept advice from people who wish to offer an opinion that could help us work better or more efficiently. We often say what we do may not be the best way it’s just the way we do it. I do like the zip wall system and use that a lot but it was tight in that utility 👍🏻

[@lesart1]

tasty blockwork/brickwork....

[@buzzkillington3354]

That was a good weeks progress

[@swiftmarine7891]

Great work

[@leeedwards9994]

hey fellas hope you had a good week ? .... ill watch and find out in a mo .........

[@MelbourneAlan]

great job. cant beat a nice clean site. i hate putting in steals as well. i always feel like there isnt enough holding everything up and its going to come crashing down like a house of cards

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Sounds like you feel the same pain as me with steels. 😁👍🏻

[@macky0305]

Have you got any footage of how the needles were propped internally 👍🏾

[@pauld3638]

Here we go

[@therealdojj]

i like the steel stuff because you've got to be dead on accurate with everything and you find out how good your build has been up till that point but either way lets see how good you've done it

[@steviek5138]

Another great episode, I think we should change the channel name to Mr R builders….Adam has gone awol 😮

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Don't worry Steve, I shall be making my return very shortly!

[@kbultray]

Why no footage of the Genie beam lifter ? Still, at least you hired one, Steve & Alex are too tight. 😂

[@TheNorthernmunky]

Great job Rich. It’s a lot of work to take the concrete roof off, but if I was the homeowner I would’ve had to do it, ceilings being all level with no bulkheads, makes such a big difference. Probably not economical I know, but my compulsive self would’ve had to.

[@Mr_A_Builders]

The customer and I had many discussions about that and agreed that the benefits of removing all the concrete wasn’t worth it. I agree that it would have been great to have a roof all level outside but another contributing factor was that the window on the side is lower than the window on the rear so it was a non starter regardless 👍🏻

[@alanreeves459]

Another great video

[@mrboyban]

I got two Mac Alister retired earlier taking similar concrete roof. It is just a nightmare!

[@Martello--64]

Great work again, there are always many ways of doing jobs so i am not judging. Maybe it was in fast forward but i missed seeing expanding foam of any type used. Just saying Does anyone know why expanding foam was originally invented for ?. Now doing work in landlord properties (many high rise) taking fire doors & frames out to remove foam infill or silicone . Then install putty intumescent barrier & possibilly a cavity closure if needed. Also doing windows, take them out remove foam of any colour,excessive silicone . Fit cavity closers,infill with intumescent material then refit windows. foam from a can, what can ga wrong.

[@Jnf-fx1jm]

Great videos lads. Love the updates every Sunday. Rich what do you use to attach the frame to brick?

[@Mr_A_Builders]

I used concrete fixings. I love these fixings and are a good alternative to traditional plug and screws. 👍🏻

[@dadofnog]

Time lapse a good idea, but think it is currently set to quick!

[@Mr_A_Builders]

I’ve been changing the settings so I hope I’ve got it sorted now for future episodes. 👍🏻

[@barryford7135]

Hi guys, after seeing that concrete roof. I just wondered if you have ever come across concrete floors upstairs? My brother in law has brought a cottage built in the late 1800’s and after pulling the carpet up upstairs. He has found the whole upstairs has got concrete floors with no rebar in it?

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Never experienced that Barry and I hope we never do. 👍🏻

[@amazing451]

Hi Rich, the padstones you used for the steel to sit on are they just concrete blocks with a high crush value or did you guys cast them? Do you have to have the BC inspect them once installed?

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Good Morning. They are specific pad stones with PAD stamped on them. The Building inspector will generally like to see them and don’t forget if you need to pack them you need to use metal shims which you steel supplier can supply for you. 👍🏻

[@PertinaxPertinax]

Richie - what has happened to Adam's regular Wednesday eve video? Could'nt see too clearly but assume the RSJ spans inner and outer leaf? or are there two steels?

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Adam is back on Wednesday this week with an update on the Bungalow build. The steel spanned both inner and outer leaf and weighed a bit hence the steel lifter. 👍🏻

[@paulf2529]

The excessive speed of the timelapse footage from 11:25 to 11:46 left me feeling slightly giddy. Farr better to slow it down. The job is coming on well. Personally, i would sooner have pulled down the concrete roof.

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Settings have been changed now it was user error and the concrete roof coming down had no gain especially as the window on the side of the house is lower than the rest so it couldn’t have been the same level anyway. I’m not overly happy with it not being the same level but sometimes it is what it is. 🤷👍🏻

[@cliff4wd]

The resolution of the time lapse is poor. Maybe set it for better HD if you can or return it! 😊

[@Mr_A_Builders]

I’d got the settings wrong on the camera Cliff so I hope it’s all good now 👍🏻

[@reddog7480]

Wheres adam these days ?????

[@Mr_A_Builders]

He’s still grafting on the other job but wanted to gather some good footage and make some real progress to show you all. He’s back on Wednesday. 👍🏻

[@m0nk3yl0v3r]

Got to say that time lapse camera is arse. All its doing is taking still images, the seem super soft and low res, pretty sure a GoPro would be better.

[@Mr_A_Builders]

The majority of our Timelapse on the channel is a GoPro or phones but it maybe the way I’ve set this up with the intervals behind to far apart. Lets hope it gets better 👍🏻

[@m0nk3yl0v3r]

@@Mr_A_Builders Its the quality of the image from the camera itself, nothing you guys are doing i wouldnt imagine.

[@andrewyoung83]

Poor quality footage on the time lapse seen better on a nokia 3210

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Showing your age there Andrew but I can’t disagree with you. I’m hoping my tweaking of the settings has sorted it out 😂👍🏻

Hi Jay sorry to hear about your Fathers passing our condolences. I hope we entertain you for 30 minutes. All the best mate 👍🏻
