Will it EVER stop???!!! Delays, setbacks and rain!

[@iantully6906]

A really good video showing very clearly the difficulties of working alone in an occupied property,awful access and the good old reliable British Weather. Well done for making progress.

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Nice one, Ian! Take care mate.

Hope you had a great holiday Adam. Don’t envy you loading out and laying on your own fighting this weather. Great to have a midweek episode back. Have a great week all 👍🏻

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Nice one mate? How are you? Hope you're well.

[@tkthebear984]

This job is a right pain in the butt Adam and I admire your patience for it and also how you’re still smiling. If I owned the property I’d have had it demolished and rebuilt a new house, I think it would have been easier to do. Great video though 👍🙂

[@Mr_A_Builders]

I think you may be right! It certainly could have been different and easier but that's in an ideal world so unfortunately wasn't possible. Hope you're well mate.

[@steadfastandyx4947]

My kingdom for a pack of blocks. You do very well sir. When I was about 20 (about 35 year's ago} I fitted a friend and neighbour's kitchen on Christmas Eve. We enjoyed Christmas Eve.

Feel sorry for you Adam. The weather hasn't been kind to you and that build seems to get increasingly more intricate as you progress. Hope you have a better week coming up. Best from me. 👍👍

Bloody hell Adam, it’s not too bad when you get the occasional summer shower but when it throws it down on a regular basis it’s not funny any more. Where I am it’s not a million miles away from you and that Friday of the thunderstorms it was biblical rain. Saying that what you’ve been able to achieve with a fiddly, complicated job has been great and I admire you getting that window out on your own! See you next week mate and I hope the weather is kinder to you!

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Cheers, Simon! Believe me this job is going to get more fiddly before it gets easier! All the best, mate.

[@optic1972]

What's going on with this episode Adam, really hoped for some good old fashioned dust... but no the rain has washed it away. The missus is devastated, she was on a promise and a half. I had her kit ready, the dyson was packed and the dustbuster emptied, a can of sheen was also packed for that awesome finish... but it's stand down city. We want dust, dust and dust. 😎

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Mate, I can only apologise! I shall endeavour to seek dryer, dustier climes and keep everyone happy! Haha! Cheers man, hope you're both well.

Well done for getting on with anything in that bloody weather, can't wait for the topping out.

hi adam I started my apprenticeship in 1967 and have always used whs trowels sheffield made from real steel not the ping ping metal from marshalltown [their plaster trowels are the best out there] I have a stainless trowel awarded from brick federation which was in the early 70s also whs made cheers baz from over the border

Looking forward to the roof video's on this project, maybe you guys should make those video's a bit longer seeing this roof is going to be quite complex.

blame the yanks for the 630mm blocks. comes out to around 2 of our feet. i assume we're the cause :) loving the video's keep up the good work

not sure about that, 630 comes out to 24.8 inches + the width of the mortar joint. Doesn't seem to match anything here in the USA

[@paulf2529]

The weather has been a nightmare, i had the old fibre cement box gutter crack that runs through my workshop causeing a flood ! Bodged up with acrypol now but I will in due course fiberglass it but i need a couple of dry days. As i understand it the old whs trowels were solid forged, the balance of the old ones is great. For lifting the glass a grabo suction lifter would be my first choice, im always using mine even used it last week to handle a belfast sink.

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Cheers Paul. Grabo's are great aren't they!

[@Mrdogface12]

Adam quick question. Does anyone you know remember Pratt’s brick yard off the Wolverhampton road ?

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Oooo now then, you've got me there! I certainly don't. Where exactly was it?

[@petef7323]

Silly question: What determines the buff or the golden mortar colour used for London brick? As mine always tends to be grey.

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Hello mate, not a silly question at all. It's the building sand. Some.oarts of the country have yellow building sand and some have red. In the Midlands it's red and mixed with normal cement it'll always go grey. I managed to get yellow from Wickes and used white cement for my chimney breast and fire place and it worked a treat!

[@petef7323]

@mrabuilders6723 Thank you Adam, I appreciate the answer. And great content as always! 👌❤️

[@Mr_A_Builders]

What is the percentage extra cost of six inch cavities, Adam? Other builders moan about the wide cavity, and the science is not proven either.

Got to be honest mate they are a pain in the arse. Not sure what the percentages are for certain but it's at least 15-20% I would say. There's just no need in my opinion, I don't know how much better it is.
