Amazing to watch, and great video work. I've also learned two reasons bricks with holes (rather than old fashioned frogs) make things easier. Anyhow I'm thinking Alex can tick off foundations now. Best of luck with the new job on the supers. I'm sure you won't miss the travel.

Wow they have now done away with the block infill to the beams 😬Although an advance in warmth it’s doing the block lads out of work but of course technology evolves 😬The gas membrane gets me ,you have an established housing estate without membrane and you build a pair of semis and it’s a requirement 🤷‍♂️. Anyhow good luck with your new project and nice not to be slogging about in mud this coming winter 👍Bet your ground-worker company are a bit cheesed ? But as Arnie said ....I’ll be back 💪💪

No wonder my house is cold in winter here in Sydney. I have 19mm wooden floorboards between inside and underhouse and not even carpet in most rooms.

[@staceyismine]

Hi guys love your content great attention to deatil. Question i have a bit of surface water sitting on my footings and 1/4 up the first block but thats all the way around the build would you say this will cause issues in years to come and should i be considering some sort of drainage to take it away. I still have black jack dpm paint to be put on just waiting for a few dry days to drain water and be dry enough to apply it.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Every foundation has water on it . The water finds its way naturally to the bottom of the trench and stops at the concrete . Nothing to worry about 🧱👍🏼

Hi ya Steve do you ever use the pick and dip method on site work 👍

We have both been giving it a try lately, hate it but you can’t argue with the speed 👌🏼🧱👍🏽

[@Jim_Newlands]

Top stuff again, lads. Just wondering, are you planning to pull in a labourer for the supers? They can be a bit of a task with just the two of you compared to foundations.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Cheers Jim we will see how it goes 🧱👍🏽

[@barneykennett9282]

[@wayneleone]

Is there a different set of brickie skills between laying the foundations and the superstucture?

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Wayne L. No , no difference just different conditions 🧱👍🏽

[@lesgill8490]

Wayne when I worked on the sites, you got lads that would work below D.P.C level, and were ok, but above D.P.C they were crap.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Les Gill oh no 😬🧱👍🏽😂

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Dezzie same street pal 🥳🥳🧱👍🏽

[@josephlyons6637]

Footings /foundations the worst thing for a brickies health. Do them while you are young and avoid like the plague when older. Trenchs to deep, to narrow and concrete out of level. All things that make it harder. In my day you did not get extra for jointing both sides of work in footings!! Good to see the money is getting better for bricklayers.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Yep 10 years in the trenches was too long 😫🧱👍🏽

[@retroplease3317]

When we do footings we have to joint everything how bad is that

shanur rahman Yes , pile and pre cast beams 🧱👍🏼

[@stun9771]

I can perfectly well understand why you wanted out of this repetitive work on what looks like fairly cheap housing projects on dodgy ground....judging by the fact they needed to consolidate between buildings with a sheep’s foot roller...!!...look on the bright side though, at least you weren’t loosing your wellies in a sea of mud that day...lol...good luck for the future, looking forward to seeing the new videos...👍🏻

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Stuart Nagle Thanks pal . The ground was stabilised with lime and was over 4 foot of backfilling around the beams . It was a relief to work on solid ground though. 🧱👍🏽💪🏼

[@carlreed1000]

great vid as always. Quick question about the bond between the trench and concrete blocks @ kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5_EZnl7q8lontU. Looks like the bond is about 60-75mm. Are there any regulations regarding minimum bond overlay between courses of blocks ?. cheers

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

reedy . I think it’s quarter bond minimum so it was close . Bonding from trench to 4 “ is difficult because of the sizes plus pipes throw things out too . NHBC inspect on a regular basis and we have never been pulled for it 🧱👍🏽
