    There's a little channel of a guy in Appalachia in the US, where he keeps rescuing enormous old steam engines and their boilers to restore and set up on his property for school groups to come by and see them operate. By the time you consider that he has to go rescue the engines from remote mountain locations, restore/rebuild them, then do all of the brickwork to set them up similar to their original operating conditions - it's the only other project I can think of that gives this one a run for its money. The channel is Jonathan W, and he's a very hard working, intelligent, salt-of-the-earth type. Enjoyable content.

    Although completely different, Escape to Rural France is rebuilding a chateau that burnt down in a fire. Matt's virtually built it all himself with help from a few friends along the way (more so nowadays). It's impressive what he's been able to achieve so far. Loving seeing how your mad project is coming along. I've been watching since the old hilux fast food and pallet death wall days. I had no idea you'd become as big as you have, major congrats on that front Colin.

    Don't let your foundations naked and unsupported during the underpinning process for too long. Sag is a huge issue with stuff like this. You don't see it now, but the bricks have 100% moved, but also, if you see cracks in the mortar, don't be too afraid either. If they do crack (knock on wood), just hire a crew that does forced injection repairs on brickwork. As is, the foundation spanning the portal is good indeed. That's a solid structure there, it would've been pretty bad if it wasn't like that. Whomever made the house, they knew what they were doing, because you see SO many houses where this isn't done right and segments are either floating or built on "hopes and dreams" as my teacher used to say.

    I have to say, given the soils where I live, the practice of brick foundations in the UK always gave me jitters… but if that’s the sort of rocky subgrade you’re building on, I can see why it persisted. I could never get away with that, but I’m on deep ancient glacial lakebed clay, so anything short of a deep, poured concrete wall, or a poured concrete grade-beam on 3m pilings is just going to either sink, or be shoved around by frost heaves.
