If there should be any future sinking and cracking it won’t be the porch. I suspect the house will be the culprit. Good job mates

What on earth would you do without Alex Steve? I know that that man is more than your right hand, With those blocks that flew up I always reckoned that 1 block = 9 bricks A very good vireo Steve I enjoyed it Please take care of you hip old friend , best regards Ken

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Cheers Ken , Alex is my legs too now . 1 block = 6 bricks ( metric )🧱👍🏽

[@eddieMurphy11111]

how do builders get away without lintels if the house came down i wonder what would happen ,and the uncovered brick work on that house makes it look a few hundred years old thanks for the video

Chaps, You guys know how to design and build an excellent porch. "Pukka," absolutely Pukka... 😁👍🧱🧱🔨

[@dazza9448]

Surprised you don’t invest in one of those push cutters, Charlie Collison uses it. Literally a handle and a clamp. Cuts the blocks instantly just by pushing the handle down No more dust

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

No not for us . Just more clutter in the van and heavy to be lugging round all the time

[@yolomc2]

great video thanks for sharing 👍 Without the aid of Acrow Props to support all the weight above, how is it even possible to remove 5 stretchers without the wall falling apart? ... is it because is next to the corner that you don't need to ? thanks in advance 👌

What rule defines the cavity width on this job, the as house spec? I ask because its not the current width of new builds? Plus>did we miss the slab pour between vids?

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

We’ve kept the cavity to a minimum for room . Slab on Monday , messed up the order 😬🧱👍🏽

[@garytaylor2914]

I’d stand up, put me back against all those blocks and they’d all fall out …

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

🤣👍🏽👍🏽🧱

[@KorstiaanPrins]

I imagine, building this porch is not cheap for the customer, for such little gain in space. Would making it bigger not gain more space in relation to the overall cost? Or is it restricted by council as to the max size ?

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Not allowed to just build waht you loke on the front of your house, strict rules plus everything is expensive nowadays 🧱👍🏽

When are you going for your medical procedure?

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Who knows 😒

[@bugbuster11]

What happened to part 4?

[@Sean006]

I'm guessing they either they forgot to film the concrete pour or the mystical concrete pixies did it overnight without their knowledge!

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Monday 👍🏽

[@u2kjib4cjkqn]

I like concrete blocks ,but you will never achieve a good u value laying them inside .

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

They ain’t concrete blocks

[@martin2466]

The structure is a porch, and not a habitable room, so "good" U-values not so critical as would be the case on a new extension. Also please do check what type of blocks they are, and that will then give you an idea of the achievable U- value.
