Hiya Mark, stunning job 👍 The braces look perfect and the lathes look superb from underneath. Really transformed the entrance. Regards Tim

[@markhep]

Cheers Tim. Yere they thinking of covering the lathes up. But I love the look. But every one is different. I still impressed with the owl bit they are so good. Think I going to invest in a few different sizes soon 👍👍👍

[@timmargereson332]

@@markhep Yes, those Wood Owl bits are amazing and hold an edge in oak for hundreds of holes. I've always given mine a quick squirt of Wd40 when I'm done just to protect them. Regards Tim

This porch really is beautiful, very nice work guys! 👍 No doubt the neighbors will be jealous and will call you to have the same 😁 Mark, did you design the model yourself or were you inspired by a model seen elsewhere?

[@markhep]

Thanks val. There is a pub straight across from it and the landlord knows me. So maybe people ask about it. Minght get a few more lol. The customer sent me a few picks of parts of others that she liked. And we built it looking at them 👍👍👍

Roughly how long does it take to build?

It took us two weeks in total that was taking down the old one flags and making it . probably 4 to 5 days just to make the porch and build it 👍

How much for one like this please?

Think I priced this one about 6k with flags built 👍

Where I live, you can't rest structure on brick veneer. The building code says that brick veneer can only support its own weight.

I love your channel, but that new name is nonsence, please change your name to something like ''Hep Renovations'' Represent your family name, you do A1 work.

Cheers fraser. Yere think I didn't think the name through really. Wanted to try and get a few more people in. I think I minght change it again its not right is it. I like hep renovations sound pritty good or mark hep renovations. May be a should ask you guys to choose something for me👍👍👍

[@chevchelios6155]

@@markhep I agree with both names. But is seems you are doing more construction as opposed to renovations, you been doing large extensions. You have a great mind to be doing all you do and do with ease. Mark Hep Construction & Renovations. Anyway I am always glad to watch your videos. The UK is nothing anymore, if the country had just 10% of the population with the mentality and intellect you have it could be called ''Great'' Britain again, but for me it is UK or Britain, the dumping ground for good for nothings and corrupt funny money bankers.
