how i built my shed part 1 reuploadined due to a editing problem

[@joeyj6526]

So glad to see someone else using a bricky. It gets slagged of alot but it definitely gave me the confidence in the beginning to start building myself in the garden.

[@gibbopaul66]

Joey J it’s a great tool

[@brendanquinn6894]

Well done sport. I'm planning to do the same thing here in Australia. Like you I havent done it before either, Good for you !

[@johnswimcat]

Superb video, on of the best I've seen on KZbin. I have an 8m x 4m garage shed to build. I weatherboarded the last one I built with blocks to keep it dry, using treated fencing slats. Fifteen years on it's showing no sign of decay in the weatherboarding

[@gibbopaul66]

thank you.

[@carcher1380]

Thanks very much fellas. Watched it over a few times. A big help. Me and my son have started on a similar build. Much appreciated. 👍🏻

[@websurfer1585]

I've always wondered how the cement bonds on the dpc, and strength isn't compromised.

[@eoincraig]

Great job, Fair play lad!,... Really is great inspiration! Nice to see an honest project and good result from the use of the bricky tool, esp from a tradesman. Too many tradesmen slate it!! Well done!!

[@ajnasu5099]

Kudos for the Video clip! Sorry for butting in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you ever tried - Mahorrla Wooden Paradise Method (just google it)? It is a smashing one of a kind product for building better sheds and woodworking minus the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my mate after a lifetime of fighting got astronomical success with it.

[@ClaimOfRightMuso]

​@@ajnasu5099 Gratuitous and intrusive advertising over a bloke just trying to provide a helpful video - just fuck-off, leech.

[@Niamhcotts]

That red cement thingy is cool.

[@zedman442]

You could build a two storey off them footings lol good job man

[@mimiorbe8273]

Great video content! Excuse me for butting in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you ever tried - Mahorrla Wooden Paradise Method (google it)? It is an awesome one of a kind product for building better sheds and woodworking minus the hard work. Ive heard some decent things about it and my old buddy Taylor at very last got amazing success with it.

[@ClaimOfRightMuso]

@@mimiorbe8273 Shameless and ill-mannered advertising - have you no sense of decency, you utter shit? - just go to fuck, pest.

[@RiderReview]

I'm doing a similar thing 5m x 3m. But I've put insulation in and its going to be more of n office etc

[@bobbybobster7595]

Really annoying loud music in the garden, I would hate to be your neighbour.

[@marcbiff2192]

How do you work with that racket on the radio,good work though.

[@boothy918]

is that within regs if its that close to neighbours garden? i only ask cus i want mine as close to edge as possible but someone mentioned it cant be within 1.5 metres or sumat?

[@lukeeh9634]

How did you set the line up square and to make it work out in blocks

[@magicalradicals]

Great video's... Really helping me with my self build workshop... Thanks a lot

[@21stcenturycaveman33]

Hiya buddy. This looks great. Moving on to next vids ...

[@MarkLawsonY3K]

Did I see the mason bang on the level to get the course right? Great foundation, but no rebar? A couple of vertical rebars for the next project mate. Consider this trick, set your first course in the wet foundation cement, then you'll have a bond no bug will get through. When I first saw it done, I was shocked. For you and all Dads: "When we build let us think we build forever. Let it not be for present delight nor for present use alone. Let it be such work that our descendants will thank us for, and let us think, as we lay stone upon stone, that a time is to come when these stones will be held sacred because our hands have touched them, and that men will say, as they look upon the labor and wrought substance of them, "See! This our fathers did for us." John Ruskin (1819 - 1900) peace.... Lawson di Ransom Canyon

[@ashyclaret]

I like that poetry quote,shame that developers these days couldn't give a shite.

[@bekabeka71]

Wow what a poem

[@Quarantain]

Thanks for posting this series. It's quite inspirational as I'm looking to build something of my own. I read somewhere that you should use glue to construct with these Thermalite blocks but notice that you're using mortar. Did that ultimately work out ok? And what kind of mortar did you use?

[@gibbopaul66]

thanks for your comment these are concrete blocks, not thermalite, I​ used a 3 parts sand and 1 part cement hope this helps

[@krystalsmith5765]

Chuck them red bed and perp tools away mate .learn to use ur trowel and level instead and hit the block not the level. Couple tips from fellow bricky . Well done tho pal good job .

[@boneyblade]

Hi. I am also making the block shed in my garden but bigger size. Can you tell me please what was the dimension of the foundation and what concrete mix ratio you used? Thanks.

[@ianbower109]

Hi you said in your part 1 day 2 put the dpc down and then start building. Didn't see thd dpc was it below the first set of blocks?

[@barrybakewell5278]

hi just come across your video i just seen all of them just like to say what a graet job u done could i just ask what size is the shed thanks

[@17405pop]

Good work!

[@MaintenanceENG]

Satisfying video

[@jacobusbaker9285]

That fucking music! Great vid, thanks.

[@deepwinter77]

I'm looking at building a shed atm, by backyard has an existing concrete slab that's been there for about 15 years it's in good enough condition. Could I build my shed straight off that slab, I don't want to have to dig for foundations if I don't have to. I was thinking I could pour an upstand beam ontop of the slab and start blocks ontop of that. I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks

[@gibbopaul66]

I don’t no mate you would need to have a builder look at it and he should tell you if you can build off it

[@kwameg.114]

No rebar? No columns?

[@tonysaunderson8801]

thanks for this will help me when i start mine! just a quick question! instead of putting the layer of block lying down could i just put more concrete in foundation to make it higher?

[@gibbopaul66]

Yes mate you can

[@tonysaunderson8801]

+Ab Fab Plastering cheers mate

[@copitoice]

Hi mate, how deep and wide was the trench? How many mixers you made to fill the whole trench? Cheers

[@gibbopaul66]

it was about 2 foot deep and 14 inch wide

[@TheChimera1982]

Great video series, respect,the trench looks similar in depth to the one I finished over the weekend. What depth of concrete did you use for the footings pour?

[@thomasreyansh7991]

I know im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an instagram account..? I somehow lost my account password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me!

[@crewmerrick4840]

@Thomas Reyansh Instablaster ;)

[@thomasreyansh7991]

@Crew Merrick Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and Im in the hacking process atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@thomasreyansh7991]

@Crew Merrick it worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thanks so much you saved my account!

[@crewmerrick4840]

@Thomas Reyansh glad I could help :D

[@lamainethomson5265]

Where was the dpc

[@tahidhanna]

is the depth necessary to be that deep for a shed. what if you do just 12 inch

[@gibbopaul66]

Before I built it I tried to fin d out what the requirements was for foundations I couldn't find any regulation on them so I done it that deep to be safe.

[@shaunh7880]

Im planning a 14x10 do you neen planning for it

[@gibbopaul66]

shaun howe as long as it’s less than half the size of your garden and it’s under 2.7 high I think it is then you don’t but I would check your building regs on the government website

[@MrUffizzi]

Hey Man, inspired us to do the same, do you remember how much the whole project cost and how many breeze blocks you used?

[@amardeepsagoo3716]

What size is the shed

[@reubeydeubeydooo4834]

What size was the shed??

[@EnsurgeLtd]

Hi, Can you explain to me what the Black Strip is Called and do you use it on every Level of Blocks or just the foundation level.

[@Interdiction]

It is called the weak link ...That black strip actually stops the wall from bonding to the lower part ...I have seen structures fail because of that

[@bb-ballistics1706]

What size and cost please

[@gibbopaul66]

It’s 10x11 feet

[@Lordazathoth666]

Hello, how deep did you dig your trench? thanks

[@gibbopaul66]

Lordazathoth666 around 2 Foot mate

[@ollieflp]

What was the depth of concrete?

[@gibbopaul66]

[@joshplayspoor2908]

[@gibbopaul66]

I used nearly 3 pallets of blocks mate

[@andig6475]

Do your neighbours have to put up with that horrible music ? Enjoyed the build but i would not like to hear that racket kidda.

[@richardsmythe4864]

Hi guys, good job, couple of question for you. I live down south and I can't get Capital North East on the radio down here, so can I make do with blaring out Radio 1 instead? Also I don't have any tats on me arms. Is that a problem for me if I try to build one of these in my garden?

[@andrewcooper7869]

Chuckle brother's

[@Badgerweasle]
