What a great pleasure it is to be a fly on the wall watching these diamond geezers

Who knew that Mother Theresa was such a good builder

Dan has such a wealth of knowledge from just practical experience. Great to see two tradesmen doing what they do best

There is more humour in this building site video than all of the so - called “comedy” shows on tv today. And some very skilled tradesmen, doing good work. Well done lads!

[@American-In-Mykolaiv]

Great to see you at "what you do best" again - showing us how-to without fear and with innovation!

[@kendodd8734]

Love the enthusiasm they still have for site work just wish I could muster up the same enthusiasm

[@neilmckie2768]

Just spotted James in the 'trailer' for the next episode - it'll be great to see him in action again. Great video and format with the banter flowing freely.

[@lilsdon]

I’m having an orangery built right now, 8 metre beam and a 6 metre x 2 metre light lantern 👍 Nice seeing another job done Rodger

[@johnhaydon4055]

Great to see a well thought out job progressing smoothly, very satisfying doing this sort of stuff, love the banter too. Mind you we don't wear underpants on our heads anymore, customers were starting to get uneasy.

[@MattJ2906]

This type of video is my favourite from you guys, love to see a build coming on 👌🏻 keep it up.

[@stephenmurray4916]

I make a 16ft long taper jig for my saw to run along. Just flip the timber after every angle cut. Repeatable and fast. Great content as always lads.

[@nickhickson8738]

Lovely Jubbly. A nice video before bedtime. Thanks Roger and Dan.

[@johncollier7744]

Another brilliant video. Can imagine all the elf’s and sanity screaming about the lack of headgear. But heyho, no builders were injured in the making of the film. Keep up the good work, pity this week’s was shorter. Can’t wait for the next episode.

[@1x3dil]

Very impressive . And seeing Roger with a pair of underpants on his head was a bonus 🤣 . That’s one thing about being retired , I do miss the banter. Best wishes to all 😀👍👍👍

[@Dave5843-d9m]

Notice how professionals use an impact driver. One continuous run until it’s in. None of that daft trigger pulsing which stresses the motor and risks chewing the screw head.

[@DelH555]

Love the video guys. Great team work. Put me off strawberries now though 😂😂😂

[@rossmcleod9818]

At about 6mins 40. You were marking the timber with what looks like a pretty heavy duty 'tracer' style pencil. (Or have you just got little hands). If it is a bigger tracer where did you get it. Great video by way

[@flightographist]

Nice work fellas! I've done similar with 24 foot 12x12 doug fir beams. Aliens built the pyramids!

[@martinweir5603]

I have useda Genie on numerous occasions. I find them extremely useful as long as the ground is level. However I believe they should have a perpex face guard to protect one in the event of the steel cable snapping.

[@SkillBuilder]

I think you may be right but I wonder if that steel cable ever snaps.

[@wrightwoodwork]

The way I do firing strips is after doing the first is put the parallel guide on the saw then use the first one as template stroke guide to run along.

[@allsearpw3829]

Innovation is the spice of life for the head dress and gender neutral . Great work lads , thanks for keeping us entertained and learning all the time . The longest lintel made on site is at the old Bournemouth Corporation Bus Garage . A stressed concrete beam poured and tensioned in position and even has a PRESERVATION ORDER ON IT . Still in place, but now shops .

[@SkillBuilder]

Thanks for that gem. I used to work in Bornemouth every few weeks and to think I have never seen that lintel. Next time I am down there I will drag my wife around to look at it with me. She loves a good lintel

[@allsearpw3829]

@@SkillBuilder Back to the days when the lintel would stay up all night , I think it has been rigid since the late 50,s Drewitt the builders , who I did apart off my apprenticeship with and had photos of it in their reception area .It is at the Mallard road Retail Park on the left passed castle point retail park ,loads of shopping in case your goddess in bored of lintels .🦆🤠

Remember the days when chippys used to knock frames up with a couple of nails now with the nail gun its like listening to gunfight at the ok coral. I was on a site not long ago where timber build frames were used i had a ducting to install and the piece of frame i had to remove had 12 x 3in nails in it and it was only 15 inches long.

Can you use a Genie lift to replace window lintels where the base can’t get beneath the beam? Do they have a counter-balance version?

Hi, hoping you can help, bathroom ceiling paint keeps pealing, I have a dehumidifier and a loft mounted extractor plumbed above the shower which runs for 20 minutes after the light is turned off, it's driving me mad please help

[@SkillBuilder]

Hi Neil You need to rub it back and use a special bathroom paint but before you do that give it a coar of Zinsser Bin ove the affected areas. T*he next thing is to make sure you have enough air coming into the bathroom to feed the fan. Building Regs say you need a gap under the bathroom door so the fan is not pulling on a vaccum. If you get some smoke pellets and open and close the bathroom door with the fan running you will see how well it is working. If all else fails get your self a nice in line fan from Screwfix or Toolstation. Those little ones are not very good and I always fit the big black Airvents ones with a two speed switch. www.toolstation.com/airvent-100mm-mixed-flow-inline-extractor-fan/p70282
