DISGRACEFUL COWBOY BEHAVIOUR.....GARAGE CONVERSION PART 5

IN THIS WEEKS VIDEO..
DISGRACEFUL BEHAVIOUR...... GARAGE CONVERSION PART 5 WE ARE BACK FOR OUR FINAL, BUSY DAY.
WE HAVE THE FRONT TO BRICK AND BLOCK UP, 2 CONCRETE LINTELS TO INSTALL, SOME PATCHING ON THE INTERNAL BLOCKWORK, THE FINAL PADSTONE TO INSTALL AND THE BIG TIDY UP.
THE CUSTOMER TOOK OUT THE REST OF THE CEILING IN THE KITCHEN WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE VERY DANGEROUS. THE PREVIOUS COWBOY BUILDER HAD DONE ALTERATIONS BUT INSTEAD OF GETTING RID OF THE RUBBLE IN A SKIP THEY DEPOSITED IT ON TOP OF THE CEILING PLASTERBOARD BETWEEN THE FLOOR JOISTS AND IT WAS VERY HEAVY AND INCLUDED CERAMIC TILES. THAT COULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER IF THE THE CEILING HAD COME DOWN ON SOMEBODY.

Oh no, 😲 cutting up a £1800 horman GRP door , no idea of what they've binned! Great work thou, good builders would recommend.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Cheers. That door was knackered 😁🧱👍🏽

Whatever profession it is, it’s always a pleasure to see real craftsmen at work.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Thanks Michael 🧱👍🏽

[@nigelsmith1198]

Looks tidy, we would have to dig footing for brickwork, wouldn’t be allowed to use angle or steel.!! Nor would we be allowed to use mortar under the steel/ padstone, either slate or steel shims… it’s bizarre how things are different up and down the country.. HNY to you both

[@richardfowler3753]

Happy new year guys. As you like going the extra, when you have a brick or two to an end when infilling like here, rake out the mortar of the remaining few bricks and repoint with the same mortar you infilled with. Gives an excellent finish.

[@freepress8451]

Builders who buy at auction to flip, want maximum profit - skip hire a waste of money, so they employ roofers that leave old roof (slate, old felt and batten) in attic space, then cover with insulation so on first glance it looks ok - wall knocked through expect to find it between floorboards or under freshly turfed garden

I have found numerous hidey holes with the previous "contractor" rubble in. Would you believe I once found tubes of caulk and bottle of white spirit in one top floor flat I refurbed all hidden behind plasterboard tacked up in roof space. We also found a bulging ceiling with all sorts of crap above, due to fall at any time. Best Wishes from The West Country.... Bob.

Plasterboard in your mixed building materials skip - not permitted in the South East...!! Has to be separated - in fact almost no skip companies will take it, without charging an arm and leg on-top of the normal costs...only place that will take it is the Council Waste Site...so has to go in the car to the Council Waste Site...

We are still lucky up here 😁🧱👍🏽

Hi Steve & Alex. That was a nice job you guys did there. A lot off hard graft and clean up. Always look tidy when done. More demolition on this job then building. I like it well done guys. Happy new year 👍

I was watching AKF builders today where he said a vertical damp is nonsense. I personally se sense in it. What’s your opinion? I believe you showed a very good demonstration with some concrete blocks back in the summer. Could you possibly show this again and speak on vertical damp?

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

I have to agree it’s a waste of time but if building control ask for it then we have to do it 😬🧱👍🏽

[@janmurdoch7986]

In Wales it seems like (well for our extension) slate is used to fill the gap between the beam and the existing structure, rather than cementing it

Plenty of different ways to do it 🧱👍🏽

Would have been a far better job to properly tie both skins together under the steel beams, also what is the block work under the new window built off, cannot see a lintol as you only put a single leaf one to the outside

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

It’s built off the slab

[@alantomlinson3858]

What slab, as you put a lintol in for the outer leaf of brickwork, just curious

The concrete floor . They are Fibolite blocks so very little weight

[@Joe74854]

Why would you put air bricks in that wall I can see the weep vents on tray level being ok but airbricks I can’t as air bricks are for ventilating under timber floor ducted through cavity to internal sub floor . The lintel you put in was it hollow under the middle

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

The vents are to vent under the new suspended timber floor

Have you got any footage of the finished job after the interior was all done?

Whats the purpose of the single leaf lintel at ground level?

To avoid digging down and putting a foundation in . It spans from pillar to pillar and takes the load off the concrete 🧱👍🏽
