Installing steel beams rsj

[@timmargereson332]

Hiya Mark, another great video 👍👍. I normally use a couple of lengths of 2x1" steel box through the genie forks so you don't have to take out the bottom of the wall for the legs. Lift the steel on the genie forks then you can slide it along the 2x1" straight onto the padstones. You should really brace the Acrows diagonally with a scaffold tube to stop them twisting- especially with strongboys. I've seen the back of a house fall out when the strongboys have twisted & the props fell. 😱😱 Regards Tim

Chears mate. Owch mate thanks for the advice. Yere I was thinking of making the arms longer on the lift. But dident no what to use. Yere I aways tighten them up too much really and bend the strong boy. Minght try a brace next time 👍👍👍

Brilliant been waiting for this 🥳thanks for the vid and explaining everything as well 👍

[@markhep]

Yep I made it two part so I can show a bit more after your comment glad you like it 👍👍👍

My floor joists run parrell with the wall I'm taking out, how do i support both sides (50mm cavity) do I remove the whole wall bellow or leave in until the steel is in place? Great videos learn so much

[@markhep]

Hi mate I normally leave the wall in to sprag the steel with. And get strong boys. Put them right through the front onto the back inside the house. Then take the back out put that steel in. Wait a day take props out and put them on front and do front 👍👍👍

Chears mate Yere getting there glad that roof nearly done just ridge tiles left on it 👍👍👍

[@JimJimpmjj]

@@markhep 👍👍💪 really enjoy watching you work and really taking shape now 💪👍👍🍺

[@markhep]

@@JimJimpmjj cheers mate. And I love making the videos. Good fun. I am pricing a nice extension up at min hope I get it. The plan shows the full bottem corner of the house coming out and the top lift of corner on steels. With a wrap round extension. That would be a fun one lol👍👍👍

[@rubikasuto]

Can i ask, what size beams gone to support the opening? great work 👍

[@markhep]

Hi mate they were 160mm wide x 170mm high. 👍👍👍

[@darylshanley2674]

Did u get that boat level from the pound shop?

[@markhep]

😂Yere think it came free with something. Best thing is it's spot on lol👍

[@markdwyer100]

You will glad when you get them steels in at least the genie will be doing all the heavy lifting 😁😁

[@markhep]

Yere lol seems the steels just get heavier. Ever year that goes buy. It's either me getting older or the steels getting thicker lol got told they waight about 350kilo each so glad I got it. Took two of us and the hoist half a day just to get them near the wall lol👍👍👍

Another interesting video my friend👍🏽 looking forward to seeing them going in! Do you work on your own?

[@markhep]

Chears mate. I normally have some one with me all the time. He has been back today to help with steel. But some time I do work on my one. Thats when I seem to do a lot of filming lol👍👍👍

[@ConstructionwithKieren]

Mark Hep I see! You get more chance to make time for filming when your on your own I find! Keep it up mate, look forward to the next one🔨

[@markhep]

@@ConstructionwithKieren will do mate. You too. Some nice vids you are making 👍👍👍

[@Clothis64]

And then the owners go home after a long day of work and see lots of holes in the wall 😱 That's why you can't go to bed Mark, these holes need to be filled quickly 😁

[@markhep]

😂😂😂Nice one val 👍👍👍
