Great job lads , I was screaming at the screen lol, was hoping you would put a couple of short scaff poles through the slings, much easier for the 4 of you to move them around. Regards Russ.....🍻

[@markdauncey927]

Great job guys! Pleased to see some really solid needle work to support the walls. So much better than strong boys on wide openings like this. Especially if it's a couple of days work before the load is transferred.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Prop pals are brilliant mark 🙌🏽🙌🏽🧱👍🏽

[@alundurbridge3880]

Great prep. Lads. Just make scaffold safer for yourselves and get hand rail behind you working as tools are always a trip hazard. Hard hats as well. Wish you both all the best and stay safe.🎉🎄

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Thanks pal same to you too . We don’t travel that far unfortunately 😆✈️🧱👍🏽

[@sgtmark8844]

Nice work getting the floor above supported for the installation of the beams. Them things looked heavy. Glad to got a telehandler coming to put them up you would kill yourselves trying to lift them up in place. Cheers😊

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Cheers Mark all down to james and Megan our awesome customers 💪🏼💪🏼👷🏽‍♂️👷🏽‍♂️👷🏽‍♂️👷🏼‍♀️🧱👍🏽

[@markdauncey927]

@15:21 The second beam is heavier because it's taking floor loads as well as the wall/roof

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

😳🥵🥵🧱👍🏽

[@justmyopinion99]

I currently have a project where I need to create two openings, each 40 feet wide, in an existing block wall. I have structural engineer drawings showing the final configuration of a beam and columns in the new opening, with new foundations, and new strongbacks bolted to the wall. No hints on how to get there, although temporary support is clearly needed. Also the engineer assumed filled block cells around the openings, when in reality the existing block fill is spotty. There are no notes to verify block fill and to place it if missing, of course. If I hadn't happened to look at the details and noticed the slight patterning to indicate block fill, no one would have noticed and a partial building collapse might have happened. We have other issues attaching metal stud framing to existing block walls, except the walls aren't filled where they need to be and we need to knock 2 inch split face fins off the face of the existing blocks to attach the wall framing anchors. All without just smashing the face completely off the block. I don't know if it is nice that you face similar challenges over there, but there it is.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Jeez ! We never get a plan instructions how to actually do the job either. Your customer is lucky they have you who obviously is very experienced and qualified. The cheapest quote would have probably had the building on the floor 🫣👏🏽👏🏽🧱👍🏽

[@tonydalton6756]

I would honestly poop my pants guys. 😅Great stream again guys.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Cheers Tony 🫣😂😂🧱👍🏽

Same to you and a happy new year 🥳 🧱🙌🏽👍🏽

[@liamking524]

The girl on that job there is amazing. She is all over the place on that job. I would love to have a partner like her that would work with me.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Our customers are both grafters and a massive help to Alex and I 🧱👍🏽👷🏽‍♂️👷🏽‍♂️👷🏽‍♂️👷🏼‍♀️

[@markdauncey927]

Temporary works such as propping are always down to the contractor. Obviously if you commission a Structural Engineer youll get a design. It's a shame that bricklaying course don't cover propping but the range of possibilities is too wide for proper coverage.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Very true it’s all on us 😬🧱👍🏽

[@DavidVanneil-kc8fk]

You've been peeling oranges in your pocket ! Hiding the cute blonde , 😂

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Alex isn’t blonde

[@ivorleak8823]

I had two of these at 5 mtrs long delivered and they just pushed them off the back off the lorry. Left to my own devices, rolled them all the way round the house using short pieces of scaffold pole. Eventually got them in and hire a Genie for a day. Best £50 I spent on our build. It's painful watching you hobble about, hope things become easier.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Thanks pal . Surgery next month 😮‍💨🙌🏽🧱👍🏼

[@billh1471]

Big job. Really enjoying watching. Good luck. PS- having a pretty girl help you is like a breath of fresh air.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

That is Megan and James our customers who are very capable having renovated 2 houses already 🧱👍🏽

[@markdauncey927]

​@@SteveAndAlexBuild That's fantastic news - at last!

[@Michael-j7n9m]

That’s a proper glamorous assistant 😂

Alex said thanks 😌🧱👍🏽

[@mrdeafa25]

Always a nervy job but you did well. That scaffold though is an accident waiting to happen. Boards missing, no guard-rail etc. Please have more regard for the safety of yourselves and others.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

[@steveaustin4145]

When are you having your hip op Steve looks terrible for you trying to work with it like that

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

[@steveaustin4145]

@ oh good I bet you cannot wait,how long is the recovery time?

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Can’t come soon enough mate. 6 weeks absolute minimum. Long time with no money coming in 😬🫣🧱

[@steveaustin4145]

@ yes that’s the problem isn’t it with self employment,but don’t think about it it’s the only way,I guess you’ll be watching homes under the hammer daily 🤣😆😆

[@karl212]

If you cant go 6 weeks without money after grafting all your life you need to change jobs now 😂…....money wont buy you time just makes life a bit easier .....just do enough fuck the tax man ...
