We bricked up the bay window - Foundation is almost there

[@mikefriend7570]

Great to see you passing it forward to the young ones. I'm sure I'm not alone in wondering what is happening with THE COWBOY BUILD. Also the other renovation work. It's always good to see finished projects Darren😊

[@garyeales1116]

If Ken takes onboard like he did with the plastering he would be a natural bricklayer 👍🏻good work lads

[@larryholland1466]

Nice to see you getting the young guys involved in the bricklaying

[@samgraham4168]

Thrilled to see Kenneth learning the bricks. A skill I've always wanted to have a go at myself. It's a nice feeling to set someone off doing something they've never done before and watch their skillset grow as they get experience. I love showing family and friends how to work on their cars and do minor repair and help demystify in some ways another world to them

[@daverichardson5861]

Coming along nicely Darren and the lads are learning, great stuff. Stay well.

[@DIYLONDON]

Well done Gason for keeping calm during that shaky period, really glad you got the drainage sorted, back to it now, and hopefully a smooth run forward. 🤜🏾. Dennis

[@mamelaw2451]

Great work, Darren! Hope you and the guys are slapping on the factor 50. 😅😅 Your build is coming along fast. Want me a plot that size for my retirement bungalow, built by you, of course! 😅😅🎉

[@shanicarter7637]

That is excellent progress with the brickwork. Kenneth will be an expert bricklayer in no time because you are an excellent teacher and Kenneth is very meticulous in his work.

[@brianedwards7958]

Hard workers💪🏽

[@SuperLinuxAudioGuru]

When I was working on site a lot of the brickies used clamp on 'profiles' which they level and marked up for brick row heights and used 'corner blocks' for the string. You should deffo give it a try and it will double your workflow :)

[@y.lelivelt2619]

Gladly you noticed the mistake of the backdoor in time Darren. This is a double thing,making a video for us,but also a check on if everything is good.

[@ab-zo4kw]

[@MarkDurbin]

Looking good, thanks for the video!

[@luqmanali3132]

[@mikey4814]

[@darrenknight8237]

[@sleepysamk1400]

Weather is being good for you working outside

[@CmdrX3]

Ground floor flat looks tiny.

[@ghosttownlives]

them angle cuts🔥🔥🔥 📐📐🧱👌

[@tonyc1167]

Daz what is the reason for having no cavity at the front of the house?

[@Itxx___Eśme]

Have you not filmed anything since this recording

[@jamiekent1970]

Hey there Darren, how is the original “cowboy” build going not seen progress on that one since the two roofs went on…. ❤👍

[@MayfairCarpenter]

This is the new cowboy job

[@f1fantraveltv358]

Hi. It’s my parents house that’s the cowboy build. It was agreed that he could commence this new project and come back to the cowboy build. So he has not abandoned it. Hope that answers your question.

[@AbakwaMan]

No use of iron rods in England?

[@y.lelivelt2619]

Question. Why do you use this type of bricks. I only know massive bricks. Whats the advantage of these bricks? Are they cheaper?

[@endalynch6877]

Why do you break the foundations for sewer pipes, why not keep the concrete lower than the dpm by x amount to run the 110mm sewer /soil around under the hard-core fill

[@stuartnaylor6472]

😊

[@Joe-jv5mm]

Flying with the 🧱

[@djohh3057]

So no need for the soak away now ?

[@greyhorse1211]

The bay is not a cavity wall? Why is that out of interest? Also is the cavity you put in meeting current regs? It looks a bit narrow..

[@matthewwalker6384]

you can still use 100mm cavity if you use insulated plasterboard

[@syedahmed4435]

Walls need to meet 0.18 W/m²K for new build dwellings. Brick & Thermalite Block build with plasterboard & Ecotherm Eco-Cavity 90mm Full-Fill Cavity meets the U value required, just need to ensure the 10mm airgap is maintained, comes down to good workmanship to achieve a 300mm wall that adheres to regs.

[@greyhorse1211]

[@Itxx___Eśme]

Y have you not been filming since a week ago

[@MayfairCarpenter]

It’s now a cowboy job

[@EeeeenSH]

My heart goes out to the poor souls who are going to have to live in this rabbit hutch.

[@andrewsalter2681]

I was thinking the same thing 😅

[@carter83419]

This must have been passed before the 150mm cavity reg came in if anyone is wondering…

[@darrenthebuilder]

There isn’t a reg for 150mm cavity. It’s a misunderstanding of the regs. 100mm cavity is allowedd

[@iansheppard6735]

The insulation requirements are supposed to be sorted before any constructions begins by doing SAP calculations. 100mm cavities can be used, but 150mm cavities are safer. The main problem comes when you have rooms in the roof with Dormers and so on. There are no public thermal bridging details for junctions in loft rooms and all the default heat losses for these locations were doubled or tripled under the last reg's change. So, insulation elsewhere , such as the main external wall, has to be increased to compensate

[@iansheppard6735]

@@darrenthebuilder Hi, on a side point, did you say there is a 140mm solid party wall? If so, you might want to check into that
