Best wishes to Chief of Staff for a speedy recovery. Good that the homeowner can see the skill, quality and hard graft that you lads put into providing them with a top quality extension.Thanks guys.
I’ll pass it on Ray 😁🧱👍🏽
So nice to have guys move concrete in wheelbarrows. In all my years of construction in the US the truck shows up and you did your own wheelbarrowing.
Very common in our area . 👌🏼🧱👍🏽
Watching these videos at 30 or 40 minutes at a time is really deceiving to the amount of sheer hard graft and skill that goes into getting a building project to this stage. Brilliant job well done and brilliant entertaining video. Looking forward to part 5.
Cheers Danny, very true 🧱🧱👍🏽
First things first - do hope the operation was successful. Secondly, conscientious personified. Think they broke the mould after you two guys- such brilliant work, and with a gammy hip!
Thanks Dave , much appreciated. Op went well 🧱👍🏽
I’ve had 40 years in the trade and I’ve never seen a better slab prep 👍
Thanks very much Chris , we really appreciate that 🧱👍🏽🙏🏽
You both deserve 50 k never miss video keep up great work you both do 👍👍
Cheers Dave 😬🤞🏼🧱👍🏽
Perfect job as we would expect from a top team of dedicated workers. On to the next instalment. The case of the missing bricks... Ha ha. 🤣🖖👍
😁🤙🏾🧱👍🏽
I would like to say that I hope that the operation went well and for a speedy recovery 👍
Great job again as always to you both 🧱👍🤜🤛
Thanks Anthony. all is well thanks 🧱👍🏽
Hope the operation went well and in good recovery. I've realised now, I need a Spazzle 😊. All those wasted years without one. Amazing you can stand in the cavity now, you could get lost in there . . . Hide from the building inspector - no need in your case. He probably turns up for what he can learn 😊. Look forward to the next one.
🤣🤣. Thanks very much John 🙏🏽😍🧱👍🏽
Love your shows father and son can't get any better
Thanks Paul 🤙🏾🤙🏾🧱👍🏽
It's coming along really well. Top job Steve and Alex as usual. 👍🏻
Ta Rob 🧱👍🏽
I guess what you call a sparkle, don't know if I'm spelling that right, we call it a come along. For moving the wet mud around and I puddle with it I go around the edges and push down around the edges with the top of the come along so there are no air pockets between wet concrete and forms.
🧱👍🏽
Very dashing with the blue wellies and colour coded blunnies, proper job as always. ATB from J&H Builders
Cheers buddy 😌🤣🧱👍🏽

Great video
Thanks pal 🧱👍🏽
That is one solid base lads top effort
Cheers Simon 🤙🏾🤙🏾🧱👍🏽
Great work, like how you the the insulation with a circular saw👍 Its a really tidy prep and nicely laid ecotherm slabs (Selco) 😊Your hip ok bro!!
Cheers Chris yeah we were sick of wonky cuts with the hand saw 🪚 and it’s probably slightly quicker too , a mask is a must though that dust is bloody awful 😷.
The hip is proper knackered now, really struggling but hopefully that will call soon for my op 🥺🤞🏼🤞🏼🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Oh boy, hope you’re not in to much pain. I’ve had two on my right hip and one on my left and due another on my left. Had the first hips done in 2001👍
Bloody hell mate … bionic man 😁💪🏼🧱👍🏽
Happy 4th of July to all, day off today yippee!!! so happy your recovery is going well, I'm sure you will be the better for it. Another wonderful video content (I have to confess I am using the subtitles and their interpretation of some of the words you use makes me laugh) when I believe you said spread out it types spain out lol thanks again guys....... This is the way
🥳🥳🤣🧱👍🏽
Yeah im watching the Omnibus now 😅 Sorry Pat Cordingley i was late on the 2 Premieres 😅😂
😆😆🧱👍🏽
👍
🤙🏾🧱👍🏽
Curious, why do you prefer to build one leaf first then the second rather than both at the same time? What are the advantages & disadvantages for either?
It’s much quicker and easier one side at a time 🧱👍🏽
Coming along, reason for mask @13:47 son been on the vinda🚽?!!
🤔🧱👍🏽
sorry I missed the first show but at least I can catch up , that must have been a very big shovel for the sand Alex and good precise cutting of the foamy stuff ,and Alex it is not a nice finish its a professional finish , and Steve how is the hip. thanks for the video
Cheers Eddie, the hip is very bad today , unbearable while I was driving this afternoon 🥺🧱👍🏽
Love the video's. Always entertaining amd informative.
Im a DIYer so forgive my ignorance, Can i ask. Do you not need a cavity tray when you use blocks on the outside?
Thanks Andrew , trays are only needed for very specific applications 🧱👍🏽
Usually only when there is under 150mm between outside ground and DPC, e.g. poncy bifolds with a high patio.
Thanks.
Does the visqueen just get taped to existing wall at the dpc level?
It just has to reach above dpc 🧱👍🏽
Laying my first 4 x 5 slab in a couple of weeks, if it´s as good as yours I´m going professional. Luckily it wont be so I can stay retired.
🤣🤣good luck 🤞🏼🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽
Another quick question....do you definitely need the 2 layers of dpm?
Yes pal 🧱👍🏽
How long you laid up for Steve.??
It’s 6 week’s minimum after the new hip goes in . Till then it’s just struggle on as best I can with a lot of help from Alex 😬🥰🧱👍🏽
Im confused i watch this video this morning ive just come back on youtube and its as if ive not watched it and says it was realessed 2 hrs ago, thismorning i was confused to whybit was released early.
Balls up basically 🤣🧱👍🏽
Why is the perimeter insulation outside the dpm? Also what do you recommend for this. Cheers
It’s the easiest place to put it 👌🏼. We use 25 mm jablite polyurethane sheets 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild thanks mate, I'm doing a concrete slab and your videos are very informative. The perimiter insulation, does that only go on external walls? Not against internal ones. Thanks again
Yes we only put it in externals . Good luck 🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽
That door section still confuses me...some people say keep the cavity...others say close the cavity 😅 I like how you guys have done it but the alaminium company who will be fitting my bifolds say leave the cavity as it is .... confused
They are wrong I’m afraid . 😬🧱👍🏽
@SteveAndAlexBuild what size is the insulation that you put against the outer brick? 20 or 25mm please ? 🙏
You already posted this
Yeah to early so re uploaded at the proper time 🕰️ 🤙🏾🧱👍🏽
Already watched this??
Mm uploaded too early by mistake 😬🧱👍🏽
No worries enjoyed it also the second time, I just thought for a second I was loosing my mind
🤣🤣🧱👍🏽
the insulation is over kill
The insulation is the new regs . More insulation is better too 🧱👍🏽
never seen two layers of viqueen, Not necessary
None of your floors have buildings regs then 😳
Well i was saving it to watch this afternoon, but when i tried it had been withdrawn. 🥲 I was looking forward not to have been pacing the floor and kicking my heels till 8.30 tonight. 😂
😆. It’s better at 8.30 with the gang , worth the wait 😁🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Yes indeed. True story: I was doing a job in my sons biltong business last week and he said I've got an old customer coming in for some stuff. When he showed me this guys number on the phone it was " Mike the hip" He came in and had a look around the new unit, turns out he is a hip surgeon from the local hospital. Then i got a rollicking from the wife later as i should have asked him about mine 😂😂
@@Doug.... 😬🧱👍🏽🤣🤣
Alex's Wig nearly blew off there mind 🫣
🤣🧱🧱👍🏽

Lovely job as usual, you should get yourself a bull float for the slab, easy to store in the van, save you some knee work, those barrow lads never tire, I've known a few that love the workout. ,,👍🧱
They are great lads 🤙🏾🧱👍🏽
