    That opening could've been closed in for a fraction of the cost and half the time. Timber 4×2 studs and dwangs, noise control Batts, and plasterboard on both sides. A hell of a lot lighter as well.

    As a builder in America, I have so many questions about this. Please answer a few if you can.
    What was this wall sitting on below the floor? Is the way you infilled with brick and a damp course typical for such conditions? Why would you infill with block rather than framing, either metal or wood studs and drywall?
    Thanks for any answers you can provide. Your content is very illuminating.

    • @dotherightthingbro
      @dotherightthingbro 2 роки тому +1

      Looks like originally it was a brick wall and double doors had been put in. The floor is suspended wood and sits on dwarf walls. Foundations are already in for that wall. Seems like the clients are re-plastering the room so probably easier to have a similar material to the rest of the brick in the room to do that. I would say the house is a 1930s build with the floor and internal brick walls. Im no builder mind but I have been through this with my house.

    On that day I managed to fit one new bathroom lock before going to work. Work started 3 hours late as it shut from 1pm to 8pm because of the heat effects on the measuring equipment. It was cooler in the factory than outside when we turned up and it eventually got down to a nice 29 degrees by home time.
    Steve and Alex you are certified as being nuts though I’m sure the clients were happy with that job. Do you not need to tie in those blocks in case of movement though with it being a large void fill?
