Hi Steve and alex, first of all you are both a credit to your professional,now i'm 70 and got arthritis, emphysema and now bloody prostate cancer, steve, you work to live mate, not live to work, take it easy, from Garry in barnsley
To most people it's just a brick wall. Watching it being built however gives a whole new perspective on the skill and effort involved in making it look this good. Yet another brilliant example of how the professionals do it. Thanks Steve and Al. Hope you get that hip sorted soon mate, you can't keep taking all those bloody pain-killers Steve, they'll send you loopy. Or more loopy........
steve be careful what you are taking i know the doctor gave you them but just be careful some can upset your tummy . the way to take any medicine is to take the dose when you are told and do not take any more until it is time again people think oh i will top them up with a bit more it does not work that way as you are only over dosing which is dangerous TAKE care, thanks for the video
@@SteveAndAlexBuild that is great news Steve i have a friend a few doors awy he has just had his hip done although he is young to have it done but he does work for the hospital and he is great just after a couple of weeks stay safe
Not only is this a great wall, it is also a canvas for some paint, or a layer of render. Any colour or patten will do, the choice is the owners. Top job guys. 🖖👍Looks awesome.
Nice job guys .. we call that concrete blocks or that is what I think you are using :) can be heavy at times to work with . that reinforced wall is there to stay ✊🏼😃
Good evening Steve & Alex 😃 That is some wall 😳 the owner and neighbors must be good friends! I can’t understand why they wanted to replace the old wall with blocks the same hight causing the neighbors windows to be starved of any light. Great. Job to Finnish the wall on a bank holiday. I understand the reason for working a public holiday because of the weather and having to get the job done and off your books so you can start the next job. Great job and a good video thank you both 😀👍Just had a thought is the wall being built on a business premises ? Tom.
Tough job but you got there in the end. Think I would have gone for a nice brick wall or some attractive fencing though. Wondered how you had quoted for that job as it took longer than originally anticipated.
Hi Steve & Alex. Nice job guys. I know wanted to do it in two days but it’s done now and great job it is. Great team work as normal. Have a good weekend 👍
Brilliant work as always by both of hou. Wishing Steve all the best with his hip op and a speedy recovery. Hope all is well and hope hoi both have a great weekend, take care of yourselves
Allow me a question. In the US, a wall like this would usually require a permit, and inspection by the local building authority. It might (only might) have prevented that amazing original foundation from being built. But permits would prevent simply adding a course without approval. In our area, the entire wall would also be vertically reinforced. Is the process different in the UK?
Another question, how do you attach that metal device to hold your string line , I had my house built 23 years ago and my mate the brickie, used 2 L shaped bits of wood, from GARRY in BArnsley
Brilliant job to you both as always and I just know how frustrating it can be running out of materials on a bank holiday from customer asking for extra work. Hope that your op goes well with a quick recovery. I totally understand how you can feel with talking alot of pain killers and trying to work. Some days I feel like I should be rattling 🤣🤣🤣 Looking forward to seeing what they say about my knee this Tuesday 👍🧱🤜
Love your videos , just one question …when the gate post is fixed will the fixings hit the reinforced bar ? Seem close the edge when getting a good deep fixing ????
What do you say when you run out of blocks on a Bank Holiday? Oh b - locks! Good luck with your hip replacement op. Steve. You and yours stay safe and well.
Wall looks good. Bit of a bugger running out of blocks on a bank hol but finished off nicely 👍👍I see next doors leaning gate seems to have mysteriously fixed itself 🤔😁. Is the hip op imminent Steve ?
Cracking job done! One day, somebody is going to be cursing you when they want to take the wall down. That corner pillar is going nowhere without some swearing 😅. Out of interest, I'm intrigued by the original blocks you took down. Never seen anything like them. Do you think they were a locally made block? I read somewhere once that after the war when building materials were scarce and expensive, a number of small "cottage industry" manufacturers sprang up casting concrete building blocks out of any aggregate that could be got hold of locally, believe they were called Mundic blocks. Some good, some so so, some terrible made out of any old crap and rubbish mixed with cement.
Hard graft that contact, lads! Don't we all just love a 2 day job that stretches to 4 days when you've just priced it down to the bone in the 1st place! 😢
Steve, my son is 44 , and tell Alex it will come one day, the art of not hearing DAD, and then he can stop wearing the ear drums or whatever them red things are, another thing Steve , they say LSD is great from pain, it dont take it away, but you just dont give a s**t ,lol Garry in Barnsley yet again
@@bungleford depends where you live! Until the EA got involved we had between 8 and 13 trades vans parked all around our narrow street causing access issues for residents and emergency services, skips and materials delivered and collected at 07:00 and earlier. EA closed the site down for 4 weeks. It’s usually Eastern Europeans who don’t give a toss

Hopefully, the neighbour was in agreement with this wall being built ?
You might be back to take some of it down if not or, no planning permission …..
They were fine as they got it for free 🙄
Good luck with the hip surgery Steve
