10/10 For drilling those holes in the correct position, great job.

[@asif530]

Well done for getting that steel in. Excellent work.

[@themudhutt1]

That was really interesting. I also was really impressed with the exact positioning of those holes . Go on admit it , when the steel fell directly onto those bolts , a quiet fist pump !!

[@brightonduder]

Brilliant job / hugely enjoyed this vid

[@MrJasdog107]

I am not a builder so not seen this before but looks like you did good job.

[@deverm00]

Perfect job. Thoroughly completed.

[@jasongregory7941]

you did well doing that by yourself laser eye!!, maybe get some ratchet spanners or deep socket set to save adjustable spanner but understand its not easy lugging tools in when no parking but great job

[@darrenthebuilder]

Yeah I only recently took my socket set out of the van to work on my car on the weekend lol. But hey I managed

[@timothynkadimeng2539]

great job brother

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Nice tidy job there .I see the Titan drill , excellent choice . Does anyone else find those pre made pads are never square , they always seem to have a chamfer on the top and bottom 🙄😡🧱👍🏼

I was told its something to do with hs2 this material shortage.

Proceeds to lift and install (alone) what appears to be a 300 pound steel beam… 🙅🏽‍♂️🏋🏽🥇🦸🏽‍♂️ MVP

[@darrenthebuilder]

Lol it’s actually around that weight I 120-150 kg or so

[@shelleyshell1150]

@@darrenthebuilder I figured as much. Lol 😂 😂😂

[@mgabrielle2343]

where is the next video how it was back filled etc, Nice work, impressed with your accurate drilling and one man positioning.

[@darrenthebuilder]

Thanks. We walked off this job because the project manager was a scammer and owed us money.

FAST SET WATER ? THAT'S A NEW ONE FOR ME !!

[@goldenineke]

Gosh there’s a lot of faffing around on this job before you even get to build up anything lol.

[@Morts81]

How did you even get the steel on site given the access problems you've had on this job? 🙂

[@darrenthebuilder]

I explain it in the previous episode. It wasn’t easy

[@theetheeyog9878]

Where is the quiet one gone

[@darrenthebuilder]

He’s moved on now

[@adrianwilding2912]

Great job and well done for getting the holes to line up. Just wondering why you didn't use the steel as a drilling guide for centring the drill, then downsizing and working back up to diameter. My building inspector also insisted that below ground the steel was bitumen painted, but not sure if you are having to do this with your job? Well done for working in such tight spaces too- I bet many builders were put off quoting for this job!!

[@darrenthebuilder]

Thanks, marking the holes with a pencil is plenty accurate for me lol No bitumen needed here. The DPM will go under the steel and it will be encased in concrete.

[@kasper52173]

[@fruitgums]

Are you seriously using a drill bit as a chisel? I guess I have done the same thing in my career. Nice job.

[@darrenthebuilder]

😄 gotta be resourceful when you can’t find your chisel

[@mgabrielle2343]

Use whatever is available, there is no hard and fast rule where things are not critical . Naturally you would not use a chisel to drill a hole, but one can use a drill bit to break away sections of cement etc.

[@b21playa]

Didn’t the bc want the anchors to be resin fixed?

[@darrenthebuilder]

No, it’s actually not having more than one skin on it and it will also be encased in concrete.
