    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.

    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
      @SteveAndAlexBuild  3 роки тому +1

      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 🧱👍🏼

    great vid as always. Quick question about the bond between the trench and concrete blocks @ ua-cam.com/video/-na5FEvd5hs/v-deo.html. Looks like the bond is about 60-75mm. Are there any regulations regarding minimum bond overlay between courses of blocks ?. cheers

    • @SteveAndAlexBuild
      @SteveAndAlexBuild  4 роки тому +2

      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 🧱👍🏽

    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.
