    Good morning Steve and Alex, another hard testing job in extreme heat conditions. It just shows how good you work together as a team and don't know how anyone can say Alex is not a grafter? Whom keeps Steve supplied with materials? Whom preps all the bricks to be reused? Whom helps barrow or lift the heavy loads to save his dad? Whom keeps the site tidy? Oh and whom helps lay bricks or blocks? Have I missed anything guys, sorry if I have 👍🧱🤜
    Wouldn't like to see a house plumbing system by whom put that push fit in 😮
    Keep up the great work 👍🧱

    We need those type of wall jacks here in the States. Been a mason over 45 years and haven't seen these before. That's one of the reasons I like watching a Brother Bricky from "across the pond". Never to old to learn a new trick. Of course they are a "specialty" type of tool and more than likely wouldn't use them everyday but when you did need them they would be more handy than a pocket on a shirt!

    • @SteveAndAlexBuild

      They are a very useful tool as we do a lot of alterations. We finally own a few now so no messing about hiring them and returning them .

      @SteveAndAlexBuild served my time as a decorator. Went on to work as a contractor. That's some time back. While not blowing my trumpet, too much. I went on to be successful at a career and manage many different businesses. I've put it all down to my time as an apprentice and working at differing projects. Knowing where to start and finish is not something everyone has an understanding or / or knowledge of. As a young lad, I can also remember those days of tiredness or exhaustion. Something you will overcome as you get older. Enjoy your age and your time on this planet. You both have an incredible relationship ❤️

    I have watched many of your videos but I have never been more worried than watching you manhandle those bloody great big RSJs. That said you managed it without specialist lifting gear using best practice techniques that are a mark of your craft. As an old boy often working on my own I learn from you every time I watch you vids. Thanks for the tips. 75 th birthday coming up for me and Mrs C has now banned me from new projects so I will enjoy watching and admiring.

    I'd say you were pushing it with just 2 acrows on the inner skin plus steel. I hate arguing against experience but there's easily 4 ton with masonry floor and roof loads. I like some contingency when propping, especially ifvyou are taking out large masonry panels or piers.
    Also look into getting the Brick Brace system fellas. (I dont use them as a substitute for acrows or needles on big spans!) They wedge in the perps and keep all the bricks above the steels under lateral compression so the only making good is the perps the wedges were in. No dropped bricks to patch up. They will pay you back on a single job just like this one. Skill Builder did a vid and I'm sure there's a few others on here. Keep your tongues out.😨

    @markdauncey927 Рік тому +5

    I really enjoy your videos and generally i reckon you are pretty rigorous on your temporary works and propping.
    But today i was really worried..
    Was surprised that you didn't build the inside lintel in to support the wall before taking the outer skin down.
    In essence you had the whole rear wall supported on 3 over reaching strong boys with nothing under the left hand window.
    Strong boys are strength rated at full blade insertion ' which 'nobody' does because leaving room to lift in the steel.
    And it was that way overnight - hence the cracks to be pointed up.
    Personally after the seecond steel went in I'd have got another strong boy and moved the others in so they could carry both skins and reduce the offset on the acriws.
    I'm sorry to criiticise but i think you only just dodged a bullet there.
