Lovely job, good to see someone who knows how to set out properly, outside wall parallel to the house and the two sides squared back to the house, any youngsters watching should learn a lot. Always a good feeling to get out of the ground.
Thank you patrick. Really appreciate that mate, take care.
This is the part that takes experience and skill to get it spot on I've seen some bad ones over the years all out and unlevel fairplay you know your stuff 👍🏻
Cheers, Derry. Hope you're well, mate.
@mrabuilders6723 I'm good thanks mate👍🏻
I literally came across your channel about 6 hours ago and have binge watched ever since 🤣👍
Good lord! Really??? That's ace!!! Let us know what you think please! We're always open to hear constructive criticism and how we can do things better! Thanks again!
@@mrabuilders6723 yes really 😁 I know absolutely nothing about building! I'm deadly with a drill so I'm clueless but I find it fascinating seeing how you went about building that extension and started watching by coming accords the wall you rebuilt. Love the vids and keep up the great work 🔥
Haha! That's ace! Cheers man!
I would’ve tied in below dpc if it’s more than 225 from footing, but without bridging the damp with the tie…either way it’s not going anywhere but the wall starter can act as a profile so you can tap your pin in to the line of fire 🔥 so it keeps the ott inspectors happy and slightly easier life 🙌🏼 great video for me to watch while sat in the van 🌧️ very informative
Thank you Sam, appreciate the comment mate.
Watching you lay the lower courses, my back was aching in sympathy!
Haha! Thank you Kevin!
8.8k subscribers now. The numbers are certainly moving in the right direction for you.
Another interesting vid guys👍
Hello Billy! How are you mate? Yes, it's steadily going up! Cheers mate.
Good to see a Proper gauged mixed being used...looks great work and progress. Thanks for sharing.
No worries Colin, thank you for watching. We really appreciate it as always. Take care.
I always like to use trench blocks as the first course around, I find them easier for setting out and if your footings are a little bit low then you can bed them up without them sinking and you don't run the risk of kicking over the internal blocks. I do realise that they are costly but they do save time.
It's always great to get out of the ground. The only surprises from now would be the fluctuating material prices.
no brick ties to attach the new walls to the existing house? odd. then again watching your videoes has opened my eyes to how completely different we do things here in Canada than the UK
Hello mate. Yes, the ties are there, just not below damp. What part of Canada are you from?
@@mrabuilders6723 easiest to just say Toronto. started in doing rough in's(back framing), then framing. usually go between subdivisions, renovations and mcmansions. mostly just stick to the framing and move on to the next job depending on the job. i was also surprised how they do homes in florida because of the temperatures. never seen how you guys do it in the uk though. really interesting. actually first time i saw a reno in the uk was in the movie jack and sarah and it puzzled me back then. its just so different
Sunshine ☀️great job
I know!!! Finally a dry day! Hope you're well.
Nice work ...not easy in the ground ...well done..thanks
Thank you Del. Hope you're well.
Looking good mate hope u and the team r well have a good xmas
Thank you! You too mate, take care.
Looking Good god bless 🙏🙏
Thank you Mr Silver, Merry Christmas!
Another great video
Thank you Paul. Appreciate that mate.
@@mrabuilders6723 no probs mate I've got a few videos on here of my work
No need to apologise about shaky video or loss of footage.
That was great 👍🏻
Thank you Jay, really appreciate that mate. Take care.
Not a builder but like watching these kind of channels 😁 do you not have to tie the extension into the main house for strength?
Glad you like the videos mate, yes you do but from this stage up. We'll show all that in future episodes mate!
@@mrabuilders6723 and that's why I'm not a builder 😂
Haha! No worries man! There's no harm in questions mate, in fact we welcome it!
Was there enough space to use a trench block? Foundation setting out doesn't look right as others have said, your brickwork is on it but only just. Do you put profile boards up after setting out the bwk to get correct position of foundation?
Hello Mark, there was room for about 10 trench blocks I think, so there is absolutely no point in sourcing and paying for those! Plus, and you'll just have to trust me when I say this, that despite how it may look to some, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the setting out.
Funny watching the other guys do nothing while you build half a house 😂
Haha! Well...that's not strictly true...
I would like to ask you a question. What did you put over thay sewer pipe before you put the slab over ? Thank you
We installed a concrete lintel and built over that. Hope that helps?
Great to get out of the ground that’s the hardest part
Can't argue with that, mate.
The bricks and blocks looked close to edge of footings.why wasn't it built in centre of footings?
No mate they're fine.
I was thinking the same. But maybe the soil has just fallen back over?
That's exactly what's happened Ben!
Wow no rain? LOL you were lucky that day then? ;) Been years so I was on site so please forgive my ignorance. But why was the outside skin not tied into the existing wall?
Hello Steve, hope you're well. Yes, a day with no rain! That made a change! You don't have to tie anything in at this level, from this point on you do which we'll go through in more detail as and when. Hope that helps, thank you for watching.
@@mrabuilders6723 Yea I'm good taa. Ahh ok I wasn't sure so thought i'd ask
Just wondering, why not have 3 buckets of mortar, and 3 heads of bricks along the length, and when it gets higher, put the buckets on top of upside down buckets 🙂, this way you can have everything in reach and save yourself.
Out of interest, the lintel you have used to bridge over where the old manhole was, does this have to be calculated in some way?
Hello mate, no they're not spec'd, they are just huge concrete lintels, the biggest that I could find. It took all 3 of us to lift one in! Trust me, they are going nowhere!
How is the new wall tied in to the existing house? I didn't see a stainless starter plate or wall ties going in - what interval are your ties going in between inner and out skins?
Hello Andrew, nothing gets tied in before DPC, after that is when all the ties start to go in, we'll explain all that in that episode which will be out between Christmas and New Year hopefully.
I have a greenhouse wall to build, only 4 course eng brick (2 below ground level) but the concrete is 20mm out of level at one end, how best to level that - as in what's the thickest/thinest mortar thickness I can use to get it level? or how best to do it? concrete was layed in the same biblical rain you had on that job lol cheers for any advice
Hello mate, by all means send us an email to our address that's in our bio and I'll reply describing in better detail how to get over it.
cavity insulation ??? mixing bricks and blocks for inner skin ???
Do building inspectors get any time off at Christmas or are you working through?
Not too sure what you mean by your comment mate...
It's below damp!
Is the damp course, tray and wall starter packs going in soon?
Yes mate, block and beam floor first, then the all damp course etc...
Thanks
Hello Duncan, I'm so sorry that it has taken so long to get back to you and say a massive thank you for your donation. If you watch the end of our latest video that went out last night you'll see that you get a public thank you and we tell everyone that the money will go to Birmingham Children's Hospital at the end of the year. Thank you again, take care.
@@mrabuilders6723 . Thanks for the reply. I’m glad my small amount will go to a good cause.
The line of the wall seems to run out of line with the foundation.
No mate! I can only assure you that it doesn't!
6:07 ? Not just me then..lol
You didnt showcthe installation of the drain lintels?
My Fight job was a Extension in Walsall by a couple who were doctors from Sri Lanka.We all went to building merchants they chose bricks an then they went on holiday for a week to pontins which I didn’t find funny however on their return they informed me that the bricks which they picked at merchants an seen them 2course after damp never brought it up till I was joist height. Keeping in mind that the bricks was on my account I had a experienced bricklayer an two labourers as well I couldn’t take the hit however I was informed that they will keep the bricks an I pay for them or I would have to take them down an lose anyway.Lessson work an get paid in stages I later found out the family was quite large an this was how they were making equity in their houses
I didn’t see any damp course go down.
What happened to the 150mm footing either side of the brick and block work? In places that string line looks to be right on the outside edge of the footing
That footing definitely hasn’t been doublechecked bit of luck there really but a like there vids I disagree on the metre of brickwork with no ties too lol 😂
Hello Nick, hope you're well mate. Not sure that I understand your comment buddy?
I can only assure you mate that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the footing! Appreciate you watching.
Or an basically I was referring to jus with people on about the footing .that trench cant Measure say for instance 4.8 with spread at both sides ovs I don’t know the measurements of the extension just an example that trench is definitely running off because it wouldn’t of landed on the end if dugout same at each ends measured bang on the no way correct me if I’m wrong it’s definitely running in to the house hence why external wall is running out to the end of the footing an over end is over half way the over way lol 😂
hence the bit of luck it’s only just gone on probably 10mm over the footing but ya know be right kala fudgeit 😂😂👍🏻😜
So how do I get in touch with you?
Hello John, our email is mrabuilders21@gmail.com
why no wall tie
You don't put them in below DPC paul.
Do you not need wall ties to tie the extension skins to the existing walls?
Hello Steve, hope you're well mate. There's no need at this level (below damp) but from this level up it all gets tied in to within an inch of its life!
Great job. I see you have a professional spectator in the fella by the mixer. How much does one of them cost?
Morning Marty, hope you're well. It's his supervisor's job you want. What a gig that is. You know the old saying "have a job that you don't do and you'll never work a day in your life".
I live in willenhall near Wolverhampton I need some work doing would you be interested
Morning Duncan, hope you're well. Yes mate, absolutely. Our email address l is in our bio, feel free to get in touch anytime.
@@mrabuilders6723 will do m8 I need a big patio doing and a new roof on our extension BTW love your videos
Thank you mate! Appreciate that.
Are you doing block and beam?
Hello Chris, yes we are mate. That'll be our next video!
@@mrabuilders6723 we did block and beam on our last job. It was slab on the drawings but I prefer it sometimes and it was a very dry summer so I reckon it's better
Cant go wrong with beam and block, a bit more expensive, no worries with bounce or ground heave.
We're usually hand balling them in so anything over 4 metres, I'll put a middle wall in and go the other way to keep the size down
Interested to see how the new brickwork gauges with the old. The old brickwork is terrible.
Sorry pal but that first course of blocks on the edge of your footings worries me.
It's not on the edge! Don't worry! That footing is 800mm wide because of all the collapses, the earth has been piled back, it's 1400mm solid concrete... believe me, it's ace!!!
parallel not square
Do all British people try and make the English language sound as bad as they possibly can ?
Haha! Not intentionally, no. But we do like to put our commas in the correct position! Where are you from?
@@mrabuilders6723 The US .Its 5am here . And I still haven't had my first cup of coffee for the must part. I'll fix that up immediately. You know what they say ,if your not sure how to use it don't use it at all .
I know that saying well. It seems that my wife adopts that mentality with the rear view mirror when reversing onto the drive.
McDonald's hagley rd you must be working local to me let me know if you need a plasterer
Well noticed!!! Will do mate. Where you from?
Near the live over and brandhall Perry hill tavern
Haha! I grew up there! Our email is in our bio if you want to send us your details mate, or message us on Instagram. Cheers man.
@@mrabuilders6723 ok

Did anybody else notice in a time lapse how the other guy (older fella) spends most of the time just standing and chatting?
one guys is lazy. standing around a lot
Tidy work just need a clean site buddy keep up the work 🤙
Thank you Paul. Yes mate, will do. Now we're out the ground we can get everything back filled and nice and tidy.
Keep up the good work buddy 🤙
I'm not a builder but I didn't see any brick ties can someone explain
No ties needed under dpc 👍
@@joshuaonsiteservices489 thanks
