Great vid lads👍🏾 Only thing I would add for the beginner is to make sure you have a sound foundation underneath each prop before transmitting any load to them. If the floor is made of concrete then no probs. However, If it's a suspended wooden floor, you should: make sure you spread the load across the floor joists using a couple of scaffold boards or remove some floor boards and place the jacks directly onto solid ground beneath the house.

I've been a builder for many years and have seen quite a fair bit of sheds. The plans in ryan's package kzbin.infoUgkxB7IXYxLzb_Ichhe45zM3Im5xfEiSp9vB have some of the nicest looking sheds i've seen in a while.

[@JohnnyTHolland]

You simply cannot fault the straightforward 'can-do' approach of the Australians - a very professional and useful film chaps !

[@JohnJonesUK]

Having our wall taken out between the kitchen and dining room so interesting to see what goes on when I am at work :) I love watching these projects take shape but always out the house when it happens. Thanks for the video!

[@MyNameIsNotNick]

you are working very clean! not many people do so.

[@OurBuild]

Thanks Nick, appreciate the kind words!

[@clarenicholson1328]

Great professional job! Thanks for sharing your skills and knowledge.

[@lawrence8434]

Thank you very, very, very much for this video. It will help much with my next home project.

[@johnwealthy6044]

Very nice job. I am doing the smae and this is exactly what I needed!!

[@abhijeetbhatnagar3562]

Thank you, it was very clear and knowledgeable. Very helpful for graduate civil engineers who don’t have much exposure to practical know-hows.

[@OurBuild]

Thanks Abhijeet 👍

[@DaveD56]

Great shares guys, enjoyed watching. Excellent job.

[@cameronwallis7024]

Nice video! A quick tip with spray glueing plastic angles on, spray both the back of your angle and the surface you’re sticking it to, let them sit for a minute or two to become tacky and slap the angle on. It’ll stick much better than with spray glue just on the back of the angle.

[@KL-wx7sy]

Great vid , I think I'm going to give my wall a try myself

[@galaxy_110]

Highly recommended to cross brace the props for any accidental lateral shifting failure. Good Word buddy. Keep it up 👌

[@mikeh5431]

Excellent vid - thanks v much guys. Thinking of doing a very similar thing to my house in Wales

[@stephaniereid8084]

You’ve made this look so easy, thank you

[@scud69er]

Great job, very professional.

[@antonios4926]

Thanks for the video. My wall is a solid 30cm thick. Do i just put in two 140mm X 100MM and bat them together?

[@ThousandaireU]

Thanks man rebuilding my house and this method helped me a lot much love to you man !!!!

[@OurBuild]

Devon Logan Cheers mate, glad it helped!

[@boualemsai7005]

Your work is very clean and professional, I would like you to do the same on my internal wall between dining room and living room.

[@regislamas]

I,ve been looking for a video like this on the youtube and now i found. I need to do the same thing in my house. thanks.

this is the best video I've seen on here. Stirling job guys!

[@OurBuild]

Paul Freed Thankyou Paul, glad you enjoyed it.

[@topher.m]

Our Build hi guys. Awesome video. Can you provide a rough cost for a similar job? I’m Australian based (Sydney) so any quote range would be appreciated. Chris

[@MrDaveya]

Great job. And well presented throughout the stages. Thanks

[@colourpurple5978]

Hi there, thank you for sharing the video. How much does this type of job cost? I just want to get an idea on cost, because I'm looking to buy a house where we will require to knock down two walls. I'm trying to determine if the extra cost will be worth it. Your feedback would be much appreciated. Thank you.

[@milenatula2728]

Muy buena tu técnica para demoler la voy a tener en cuenta!!!!

[@jamiedevine2168]

great video, thanks, what was the metal thing you were cutting off with the angle grinder?

[@TheBigCpilot]

Um , I have to say that was a nice informative video, an easy nice way to get that info over 10/10

[@OurBuild]

Cheers legend

[@user-gi2kq5iu5l]

Wonderful explanation auditory and visual. Now I know the process but I will be calling in a professional.

[@VisualGenius1]

Very smooth!! Thanks

[@gabordebrodi1248]

I would like to congratulation for your work. A real professional, it enjoyed to see it.

[@rumanarahman6721]

Right

[@SphaPower]

Amazing work 👌👌👌 I want to convert my sitting room into a bed room, and build a closet. But my sitting room is small, so l'm thinking of breaking down the wall separating the sitting room and the garage, and build a closet that will take some space in the garage rather, and have a sliding door in the bed room. What advice can you give me before l do this project?. #PleaseHelp

[@Frank-cc4rj]

Fantastic! Apart from the painting, what, please, was the total job time?

[@drnh4444]

That was a brilliant video. Thanks guys

[@HandyKindaGuyUK]

great video. favourite bit "after lunch" haha!!!

[@benagav]

This is really informative James! Quick question, do you normally paint the ENTIRE room again or just the part that needs touch up / patching?

[@pinkyman5155]

Nice neat job, Well done.

[@OurBuild]

+pinkyman5155 Thank you for taking the time to comment. All the best!

[@78wesley]

Good job, professional as always

[@9Coronas]

Great video, James! Just wondering why a concrete lintel rather than a steel one? And is this enough support if there’s a whole other floor above this one? Or was this done in a bungalow? Thanks!

[@liamturner3267]

Great Video!

[@OurBuild]

+Liam Turner , Thanks Liam!

[@phantom0891]

Hey James, Great video. Are the needles you refer to separate to the acroprops? Also when fitting in a heavy (370kg) 4000mm wide beam, we'll be using lifters, but would you recommend sliding it into position at first? Cheers for such a great video

[@OurBuild]

Hi Dan, yes the needles are the support timbers or steel that is inserted under the brickwork and then the acrow props go up to the needles. Hard to say about the position of the beam, generally if its something large and heavy i would get it in close to the opening and then use a genie lift to wind it up unto position.

[@peppysin1459]

Do you do the same for an exterior brick wall to open up for either double sliding doors or just an opening? Also what would be the cost for this size opening that you did, just to get an idea, with being finished and all?

[@rmontyw]

Great video! Thanks for taking the time to share that process. The one question that came to mind is why not use wood studs to support the new header on the side you had to build up out of brick? Isn't the brick a tonne more work, labour, and money?

[@OurBuild]

+rmontyw Thanks for that. Timber will shrink or expand because it's a natural product. This will cause cracking. If the wall was completely a timber construction I could have used timber, but you never use timber to support brick. Hope that helps. Have a great day.

[@deanno7067]

Hi James, great video and thanks for uploading!!! If it was an external brick wall and you could cut the lintel in first without removing any bricks, what would hold the lintel in place in that instance? The weight/down pressure of the bricks once the bricks below the lintel are removed??? Thanks.

[@OurBuild]

if you installed needles through as supports while you installed the lintel then yes.

[@ouggrinis]

very good job congratulations

[@OurBuild]

Thank you!

[@AhmedBahgat]

Would you do something like that for my new home please? I am in Sydney

[@russthomas02]

Good info ... just would have liked to see you guys wearing dust masks !

[@Israelkamakiwoole]

#Our_Build what do you do with the floor to have nice an steady connection between the two rooms?

[@tonyfare7274]

Excellent video mate, good job.

[@OurBuild]

+Tony Fare , Thanks Tony!

[@ecakunimitsu]

this technique is exactly what im looking for!!!! no need for extra man power and it is a safe technique too

[@thespecialist7]

nice clean job only would of thought a steel rsg lintel and on pad stones. maybe if the wall is not load bearing and also making sure the floor does not rest on it. then concrete lintel fine? good vid.

[@DanielDuarteejs]

Muito bom!

[@narindersingh-gw4fp]

Good efforts and mind hardwork

[@ibrahims754]

Very professional!!

[@bombaydan]

Great video, thanks

[@arieldodero9928]

thanks for the steps! from argentina.

[@tracymillar8723]

Great video. Helped me talk knowledgeably to the builders who did this for me. How do you then deal with the floor gap after the wall is removed? I have tiles and the builders were able to not crack any of the existing ones. How do I fill in the gap? (It will eventually have kitchen units covering it, so no need to level or re-tile luckily). Thanks in advance :-)

[@OurBuild]

Great to hear Tracy! If it will be covered later I would fill will some particle board or plywood. Good luck with the rest of it 👍

[@singhharvi4548]

Thanks sir for this great information....

[@DaviBezerra]

that's a good job and help me a lot

[@benhuang7594]

great job, very informative.

[@OurBuild]

Thanks Ben! Take care mate.

[@HektorBandimar]

Good job guys.

[@kynchan3332]

Great work.

[@pincushion5044]

Perfect exactly what i was looking for

[@ashwinisrikant4056]

Is it safe to remove the Loading bearing wall for first floor and also plan to build second floor???

[@kevinhancock4064]

I'd def get planning they likely recommend a steel lintel /beam

[@jcdcsc]

very nice

[@pdrfulltime8662]

very nice guy,very nice info,great video,thanks

[@jccamero82]

Great video! Thanks. If doing the same thing through a double brick wall with cavity between the two rows of bricks do you need to install a lintel for both walls?

[@jccamero82]

Or will only 1 of the two rows be weight bearing?

[@OurBuild]

+Jeffy J Thanks Jeff, yes one for each wall.

[@hellotherematey.2713]

Our Build - I am looking to do this , a double wall. Curious where are you based ? 😊

[@adgeebike9173]

Nice neat job mate.

[@TheAudiostud]

[@estebanr.a.6917]

Muy buen trabajo

[@kenbird9017]

Thank you. How did you find the plaster on to the galvanised beam, please?

[@LGBTGROOMSOURCHILDREN]

Is it okay to use 2x8 or 2x6 boards as support for a doorway approximately 32 in wide? I've taken a two-story house removed all of the walls in the center and used 2x8 to support the second floor while rearranging the walls so I have experience but I've never dealt with a cinder block wall. I'm wondering if it's preferable to use a slab of cement as a support being instead of 2x8? Also want to make sure I'm clear on the fact that I would be using multiple 2x8s with plywood or 2x4s in between as a wedge between the two out or 2x8s

[@a.h.hottoman1764]

Fine job

[@davidgaming95]

How do you do it if you have a 40cm wide load bearing wall? Is it the same principle but with steel needles? Thanks!

[@leonwang1920]

hi mate just asking where you base at?

[@LubomirFotev]

Nice work

[@WareumTsausageu]

Just great! 👍👍👍

[@mrp2868]

Great video 👍

[@leeleelee0054]

Can concrete lintel be used for an internal load bearing wall , 2 metre wide opening

[@sturmgesutz]

Most certainly better with a bed of mortar on top of the Lintol then Acrow it up so there is full contact and no point loading [ which you will get with wedges ] nice job though.
