Thanks Gary, old school just comes so naturally and I find it quick too. I do use modern techniques but find my old school is just as accurate, rather like using a calculator to check the mathematical work on the back of a fag packet 😊
Hi Chris. Building in a nice Flemish bond to match existing. I assume you will cut the headers for the cavity. Is the original house cavity? Thanks for the video.
Well, standard house foundations are 1 metre deep to the top of the concrete. Do its not necessary, to go that deep for a single brick garage so any where between 500mm is adequate for a single skin brick garage is adequate
Just to make this straight, the old Victorian 😂 house was just about 400cm depth of footings 2storeys hasn't moved a mm over that period of times and new foundations at 2 meters....am right?
Furness bricks are a great quality and look lovely too 👌🏼. That footing was a slog wasn’t it ? ! Great to see the concrete in . How many cube went in ? 🧱👍🏽
They are Steve and nice to lay, they can creep at windows and doors so best using some kind of profiles bro...We used 12CM3, glad of the pump😅. It was to cold some days but managed a por when the temp rose back in December..All the best, have a restful Bank Holiday😊🧱👍
Oh Chris those bricks are very heavy, I'm sure you will be very pleased with it. Good workout for the day. That brick hunter match company seems that only have that brick(quality is not that good and not the best match though), they should gone for the 73mm wienerberger Mulcoll, that is the right brick. Have a good one mate.
Well, a sample was taken and a match made to suite the existing. You will the whole picture when the job is done....They were a £1 per brick and included was delivery. Those Wienerberger Mucoll wouldn't be as good as these to be honest..
Sir, your skills are amazing
Love your video's Chris love old school building, and detail

Almost looks like that house is floating on air in places. I bet those Victorian builders would have a good laff at you putting 2 metre footings in 😀
What a job, thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience Chris. I've learned a bit from this video👍
Thanks happytravelguy I'm happy to pass on the info and its good to know its helping folks.
Builder from leek myself 👍👍 looks a nice job 🧱
Looking forward to more on this one Chris 👍
Looks like a great project Chris. Looking forward to following this one.
Thank you Wayne
Good to see a new vid/project from you. Looking forward to more
Thanks Steve
'Old school' I like it Chris!!! 👍
Great video mate,keep em comin👌👌
Them pipes and manhole looked a nightmare Chris
They were very difficult!
Sound is a problem for me. One minute you're loud and clear then long periods of hardly hear.
Hi Chris. Building in a nice Flemish bond to match existing. I assume you will cut the headers for the cavity. Is the original house cavity? Thanks for the video.
The existing house is solid 9” wall built in the Flemish bond. I will cut the headers as you have mentioned for the cavity.
@@foundationgood123 Thanks Chris. I love flemish bond and see a lot of it on garden walls etc on the older houses round here. 🧐👍
What did you do to the soil pipe, concrete it straight in? didn't see any shuttering so you could lintel over. A lot of concrete, how many cube?
Concreted it in, and we used 12cm3
How do you know how deep to make the footings? UK building standards don't require rebar in the footings?
Well, standard house foundations are 1 metre deep to the top of the concrete. Do its not necessary, to go that deep for a single brick garage so any where between 500mm is adequate for a single skin brick garage is adequate
@@foundationgood123 Here, a core is taken using an auger. The engineer then calculates the foundation depth from the core analysis.
How many M3 of concrete did it take Chris?
12, we had two loads one with 8cm3 and one with 4mc3...glad we had the pump 😅
Why did you encase the sewer pipe in the concrete footing? Why not use a sleeve around the pipe in case it needs to be replaced?
Because we were allowed to, its sound it will never break inside the concrete.
Just to make this straight, the old Victorian 😂 house was just about 400cm depth of footings 2storeys hasn't moved a mm over that period of times and new foundations at 2 meters....am right?
It is amazing how it has stood for so many years 1890s it was built...Yes 2m deep in places.
This proves we over engineer work now. Older footings were wide and shallow rather than deep and thin. Makes more sense
In my town, there are white-yellow bricks, and the price of four thousand bricks is four hundred dollars.
You in the USA, this is still a good price for these bricks in the UK!
looks interesting job???
Dont want hit the electric chris no kettle what ever next haha
Thought cavities were 150 as of last June?
They got their plans in just before that came into law👊😎
@@foundationgood123 so did I Chris , however I thought it had to be registered with local building control and started before the deadline?
@@Jazzy-xr1sz The plans were submitted in time and passed before the June date and we started it in December which was ok 👍

@@foundationgood123Cheap really . 👍🏴
@@johnbowkett80 It’s the amount we had….reclaimer yards want £1.20 for a smashed about brick😆
@@foundationgood123 Still cheap for reclaims . 👍🏴
