At 10m 43 secs you can see the actually used mains concrete breaker, not the Milwaukee prop. Battery powered is a waste of time for heavy apps, stop promoting stuff you don't use
The old breaker was there as a back up and used for less than 5 minutes because the vibration was ridiculous and was nowhere near as powerful. The whole slab was done with the Milwaukee as you can clearly see in the video. We don’t use special effects and we certainly don’t lie .
You obviously haven’t got a clue about heavy duty battery breakers so just dismiss it 🙄
@james77755
Were you actually in attendance on site the day works were being carried out?
What is your experience with battery powered breakers?
The last part of your comment where you say, "stop promoting stuff you don`t use" proves both your asininity, and the fact that you know nothing about this channel.
Perfectly put as always
🙄🙄🧱👍🏽
You obviously didn't watch the same video as me. Either that or your eyes need checking matey.
@davecleggett9371 🤓🤣🤣🧱👍🏽
That clay looked like heavy going….then a splash of rain just to make your day complete! Good work fellas.
It certainly was 🥵🧱👍🏽
Looking forward to seeing the next episode of this job.
See you Thursday 🧱👍🏽
Should be called bloody hard worrk with Steve and Alex.
😂😂🥵🧱👍🏽
Steve you are a monster being able to that work with your bad hip. I don't know how you do it. That clay is a bugger to shift as well. Fair play to you and Alex. 🫡
Cheers Wayne, really struggling now mate.
i wish i could just stop now but then the bills dont get paid 😔🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild I hear ya mate. Just take care of yourself. How long out of action will you be once you get the op?
Well done guys yet again any person who has you at there property can be at peace your level of skill,professionalism knowledge, and cleanliness on site is impeccable keep those videos coming genuine people love them 👍👍
Thanks pal 🧱👍🏽
Another great one, boys... and can I just say that that is the tidiest and most organised back of a builders van that I have ever seen! 😂 keep them coming.👍🏴
Cheers pal . It had been cleaned for auto trader so it was a one off shot 😆😆
Nice to see a digger where the light actually works
We couldn't find the switch to turn it off 😆😆🧱👍🏽
Hi Steve & Alex. Great progress with slab demo. Jason back with you guys the A-team. Great couple of days work. Have a good week 👍
Cheers John boy . My dream team 😁😁🧱👍🏽
The weather down here was quite nice for October and November, even the leaves on the trees didn't fall until December!
I know what you mean about the doctor strikes etc, I was diagnosed with cancer 2 weeks ago & have got to go to London for scans as apparently their machines are better than we have here in basildon, we'll see, . They have no idea when I'll get an appointment, no bloody good to me is it! Good luck with yours Steve
So sorry to hear that !
Best of luck 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🧱👍🏽
That slab foundation may not have met modern standards, but there was NO danger of it falling off the face of the earth on its own.
Nope 🥵🧱👍🏽
Sorry I'm a bit late for this one Steve, another overnight stay in hospital for yet another stent.
I enjoyed your video but I can see that you are in pain please take care.
Alex is certainly carrying the load he is certainly a credit to his teacher.
Best regards as ever Ken
Cheers Ken and get well soon
Pre op no 2 on 24th 😬👍🏽🧱
Those tiles looked like they came up way too easy
We weren’t complaining 😉🧱👍🏽
Well it finally sunk in to watch ppl pointing IS like watching paint dry,hallelujah.
That’s why we don’t film pointing jobs🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild
I don`t know about you Steve, but I`m quite a fan of watching paint dry....!
🤔🤨🤐🙄😬😁😁🤣
@martin2466 😆😆🧱👍🏽
Terrific progress on heavy-duty foundations guys - that's one helluva day's graft there. Really sorry to hear about the delay to your op Steve - bummer. Just hope you can get it sorted soon as. Good to know you are so impressed with the Milwaukee kit - got to be over six months since you've been using it - any observations to make on it's plus's and minus's? If any of course!
Thanks Dave . We love all gear . Don’t know how we managed without it .
The only issue with any cordless tools is battery life and stamina which improves all the time. On one tough job we just forgot our rapid charger which was our own fault 🔋🪫😁🧱👍🏽
Those foundations are going to take a lot of concrete.
My mum & dad had a very similar conservatory, I hated it. Would have loved to have done something similar.....knock it down and build a proper room. Warm, dry, useful!
Hope NHS sort your hip out soon. 👍
They certainly did Sean 😬 .
Got a pre op 24 th so hopefully they follow through this time 🥺🧱👍🏽
That's great to hear. @@SteveAndAlexBuild
🥹🤞🏼🤞🏼🧱👍🏽
The job on the old extencion was done well for the day,concrete was bone dry its how it was done till polystirene came in good founds good slab imo....but great job guys...you cant fault old regs thats the way it was
🧱👍🏽
SLO-MO DEMO 💥
Ooh yaass 😍😉🧱👍🏽
Steve, Alex you have a mini digger and are still in the trench with shovels let the machine do the work save your backs great vids lads as ever.
🧱👍🏽
Those tiny diggers are next to useless sometimes, especially with clay
It did struggle a bit 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild last time I used the small ones like that I spent more time digging out the bucket by hand than digging any ground 😂
@UnjustifiedRecs . They have their uses in the right situations 😁🧱👍🏽
those tiles did not see much adhesive and the bricks come to that i was mending a power supply for my ham radio last night so could not be on never mind and those malted milk cow biscuits are beautiful but i can not have them being diabetic ,thanks for the video keep warm and safe
Cheers Eddie … malted milk designed for dunking 🤤🤤😆🧱👍🏽
Another good video, is there a lot of dodgy sunroom/gazebo foundations and actual the building of them in the UK, it seems from memory that a lot went up in the early 80's and 90's?
Yes , no regulations meant no checks 🙄🧱👍🏽
I'd like the same done at our house sometime. Remove old conservatory etc. Can you advise cost approx? 3meter x 2.5 meter Derbyshire? Any help appreciated.
You need to get local builders to quote 🧱👍🏽
If it rains that foundation will flood with that clay in the footing Steve
Yes it did 🧱👍🏽
Such hard work, but always lovely outcomes. Say, why is the hip not getting done? Bummer.
Thanks . Strikes 🪧 🥺🧱👍🏽
When the great days of diesel diggers are replaced imagine the battery digger trying to get through that clay 😂😂🧱🧱
Doddle 🧱👍🏽
Another reason self employed people running their own business should charge a good going rate - company benefits like health insurance etc. Winds me up people who b**tc & moan trades charge to much, there so many overheads than just paying a wage..... Anyway rant over I hope you get your Op soon & respect for grafting on 👍
Very true mate and thanks for the well wishes 🧱👍🏽
hi Steve have you had the hip op yet? hope your both well
Hi Andy no mate and I’m not doing well at all 😔🧱👍🏽
I did ajob last year and the foundations were 2.9 meters down it was the last house to be built full of all crap blocks everything the dugout cost more than the extension it was a nightmare pal
The unknown . 2.9 is awful and dangerous 😬😳🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild
At that depth - they should have been looking at mini piles, or a reinforced concrete raft.
💛❤️💛❤️💛❤️💛❤️💛❤️💛❤️
🧱👍🏽
I don't really like the idea of the bigger battery-operated tools. Waiting for batteries to charge is a problem, and how much is it for a spare battery? Apart from that, your vids are great 👍
🧱👍🏽
Try breaking concrete that thick with a sledge hammer like i did at a transport company i worked at its knowing where to hit the concrete for it to break off
💪🏼💪🏼🧱👍🏽
brother in law had a hip done 4 weeks ago , he;s fine now, and going back to work next week, but he needs his other doing,
Same here soon hopefully 😬🤞🏼🤞🏼🧱👍🏽
Cow biscuits? Here that means stuff like pressed alfalfa fed to cattle!
Here it is cookies with a cow on 😋🤣👍🏽🧱
or moo moo biscuits
@mikelittle5839 👍🏽
Hardly dodgy foundations they were plenty good enough for the patio 🤔
Or conservatory
No for building regs though 🧱👍🏽
I'm a bit late for this one Steve, another hospital visit yet another stent and a overnight stay.
Watching you Steve your hip makes me shudder I can see you are in pain.
Without Alex my friend you would be lost he is now carrying more of the weight he is a credit to you Steve.
Please take care I don't want to see you do more damage to your self.
Best regards as ever Ken
😁😁🧱👍🏽
Do you guys know any trusted reliable builders in Nottingham. Wanted a lintel install above front door.
We only know Izzy the Bricky who is in Derby 🧱👍🏽
A Tiger bite like Daves at DJ could have crushed that concrete, resulting in more skip space and less hard-core cost
Don’t forget the hire cost and extra labour to load the crusher . Maybe on a bigger job 🧱👍🏽
@SteveAndAlexBuild sounds great but not that practical unless big site or own it
@mdmconstruction5885 . Very true 🧱👍🏽
Bit undecided if i should spend 3k in the morning on one of the breakers. Update just found me sledgehammer.
😁💪🏼🧱👍🏽
Is this an extension going here or another conservatory or am I missing something
Extension 🧱👍🏽
looks like a real hard job, the only thing i didnt like was the music
🧱👍🏽
You was telling everybody that you have got the iPhone 15 pro Max. I have got the iPhone 11 15 promax one terabyte
😆😆🧱👍🏽
What volt is that breaker
72 volts 🪫🔋🧱👍🏽
WOW
@neilhowarth9362 😁😁🧱👍🏽
Was watching at the beginning and saw Alex in what my American Texas brain assumed was the drivers seat . My brain said hym he must of got his driver’s license. It was at this point I realized that the steering wheel was missing because English car manufacturers managed to somehow get the steering wheel on the wrong side forcing you to drive on the wrong side of the road. 😂 Boy it’s tough getting old, 74 now. Good start on the job mates. I’ll close out the comments now and finish the viedo😊
😂😂🤔🧱👍🏽
@steveAndAlexBuild Dear Steve I,m writing This with my head Hung Low .But It Was My Birthday Today 15th of Jan So Can You Please Excuse My Absence 🤣🤣🤣
Happy birthday Dougie 🥳🥳
That's a right looking tool makes lots of different sounds If you're into that sort of thing personally I would have brought the mini digger and dumper in to-do all that or used a crow bar and sledge to break that snot of concrete out of it
🙄
Pecker on the machine would hace done that slab in 30 mins and then used it to pull back the hardcore.
Expose the footing and peck that too.
You seem to like hard work
The slab was done 2 weeks before we got the digger
That cordless breaker is useless. I won't even bother to find out how much it costs. I love watching you two working together, but every time you show it working you only highlight it's failings.
How exactly do you think it’s useless?
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Now with electricity onsite it's useless compared to a mains version that you could use all day long. If you didn't have electricity onsite it would be great.
I'm trying to be helpful but all I get is.
We are having a break while the battery charges. We are having a break while the breaker cools down. This you are saying on a miserable cold day.
Any breaker will over heat on A 170 mm concrete slab for 8 hours .
We didn’t stop to charge we charge while we stop it’s called break time and lunch
Ipstock Malborough they look like to me Steve .The right gear makes life so much easier doesn't it .We used a track wheel barrow today for the first time what a saving on the body and hard work that was Steve 👍💯🧱🧱
We have used one before but these flags were rubbish and only dotted so we broke 4 just tracking the micro digger in 😩😤🧱👍🏽
@SteveAndAlexBuild
Good point that mate .All this equipment costs money but it makes life easier having good kit like you have 👍💯🧱
