When a job is done correctly and finished so neatly one could be forgiven for thinking it was easy. But we know different. All your beautiful work requires skill & knowledge. Take care & stay safe guys 👍🇬🇧🍀
20.25 the eyes of Alex light up when he hears, "pack all the gear up." Unfortunately just like my dear, long departed Dad, there was always a reason to have a long slogging day instead of two gentlemanly days. That had, 2 Day job written all over it. In my own career, these were always the sort of jobs a contractor would call you in to do on a Saturday. "You'll be in the pub by twelve," was the usual promise. Early evening when the headlights of the subbies truck were on you so you could see, what you were doing, and listening to him saying he only priced it for one day you knew to delete his number in case of future heartache.
@bigjohn1236 Oh dear yes........I have been down that way a time or two. The memories of which made me shiver........! We always went down the pub at the end of it though. I hope retirement is working well for you, and a great comment to re-live some memories...👍🧱😁
Was the soldier course originally set on a wooden door frame, long before that modern plastic door was put in? Years ago the wooden doors and windows were used to support brickwork above, instead of using a lintel.
It's the 'Iceberg Syndrome' again - we only see 1/3 of the work involved. Good job again guys, always helps when the Customer is aware of the discovered problems, and even better when the Customer agrees to the professionals advice to fix said problems. BTW, that Milwaukee gear is quite something isn't it! And the late finish makes up for all those early finishes you've been enjoying recently! 🤣🤣🤣
Nice work Guys how come you always get the headache jobs? and surprised them soldiers stayed there, that was an accident waiting to happen, all the best and take care!
Can Alex do a short video showing how to clean up used bricks with a brick hammer? And why he does it how he does? I want to clean up a few old bricks to see how it’s done. 🧱 🔨 😎👍🏻
Ether spring is coming or the weather gods were lookin the other way Steve, talk about a booby-trap that overhang needed to be removed a real death trap. Alex (the bull dozer) cleared the rubbish (as usual) made a good job. You spoke about a cavity tray from what I saw it was a solid wall so is a cavity tray needed ? The way you were on that scaffold Steve made me glad you are a little more mobile old friend. Thank you for the video I enjoyed it please keep them coming looking forward to Thursday for the next. Please keep safe you two, best regards Ken
Removed a rotten timber window box 6” deep and 6ft long which was screwed to the external brick house wall. To reveal bricks that had lumpy blotches of white calcium and other rot deposits. Cleaned off the lumps and use external emulsion paint pink red and black to camouflage the discolouration f the bricks. I’m no artist but paint was easier than knocking out or cleaning bricks.
Watching this morning and just at the part where you took left pillars apart, you said I will need four more bricks, maybe seven, I'll get 6 lol, that did make me laugh, great job again though, getting those old canopies out is a right royal pain!
Any infection, even a scratch on the leg will stop the op as they won’t risk infection in the bone where the new hip goes, Otherwise it’s back down to rip it out and try again . 🥺🧱👍🏽

Good job, nothing like working by moonlight!

Great job guys

I don’t think it a case of no lintel, but the canopy was (in part) the lintel.
🧱👍🏽
Great job
Cheers 🧱👍🏽
What is he going to do when you have op
Small jobs 🧱👍🏽
Good result but mext time consider a 8x4 to cover the door, at a grand a piece its not something you want to damage. 👍
👍🏽🧱
13.49 min to me to you chuckle
😏🧱👍🏽
need the same job doing down in surrey, fancy coming down lads haha?
🤨😆🧱👍🏽
Nice work Guys how come you always get the headache jobs? and surprised them soldiers stayed there, that was an accident waiting to happen, all the best and take care!
Cheers Danny . We turn down the easy ones 🤔🤣🤣🧱👍🏽
In India they leave reinforcing out the ends of buildings indefinitely, wonder if it blows. That ‘cast in lintel’ is a joke. I say lintel loosely.
Sounds bloody dangerous 😟👍🏽🧱
👍🏾
🧱👍🏽
🇨🇦🤓🤟
🙌🏽🧱👍🏽
Should have left the top trim in above the door
🧱👍🏽
No such thing as a simple job so the saying goes.
Not in this channel 😭🤣🧱👍🏽
Can Alex do a short video showing how to clean up used bricks with a brick hammer? And why he does it how he does? I want to clean up a few old bricks to see how it’s done. 🧱 🔨 😎👍🏻
Get yourself a scutch hammer , specially made for that exact job 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild I may have jumped the gun and purchased a masons hammer. Will it do the same job?
No must be a scutch , google it and all will make sense 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild thank you Alex & Steve. Love your videos over the years 🧱😎👍🏻
Thanks very much and good luck 🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🔨👍🏽
Love the music in this one Alex. What's the track called?
Thanks Fred , it’s Steve who is the editor 😌.
We don’t know the titles as the music is from Epidemic sound , a music subscription service 🧱👍🏽
Could have used rosemary clay tile rather than flaunch and given you a drip detail
👍🏽
Patched and painted that would have lasted another 70 years , it will last longer than anything else they put up .
🧱👍🏽
Great job Steve and Alex as always if you ever need old bricks for patching up no we're get them keep up great work 👍👍
😁😁🧱👍🏽
The lintel vortex 😢😢you both luv it 😅 well done once again x
Cheers Mick 😂😂🧱👍🏽
I take it you priced for two days? Why do you squeeze it all in?
No I didn’t
@@SteveAndAlexBuild fair play, top work by the way, didn't mean to come across wrong
No probs , this was a classic “ that won’t take long “ job that always will take long 😫😒🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild yep, we've all been there before, keep up the good work both of you, hope your hip gets sorted
@jamesosullivan6722 cheers 😔🤞🏼🤞🏼
Ether spring is coming or the weather gods were lookin the other way Steve, talk about a booby-trap that overhang needed to be removed a real death trap.
Alex (the bull dozer) cleared the rubbish (as usual) made a good job.
You spoke about a cavity tray from what I saw it was a solid wall so is a cavity tray needed ?
The way you were on that scaffold Steve made me glad you are a little more mobile old friend.
Thank you for the video I enjoyed it please keep them coming looking forward to Thursday for the next.
Please keep safe you two, best regards Ken
Thanks very much Ken it was very complicated in that cavity 🤔🤔🧱👍🏽
Removed a rotten timber window box 6” deep and 6ft long which was screwed to the external brick house wall.
To reveal bricks that had lumpy blotches of white calcium and other rot deposits.
Cleaned off the lumps and use external emulsion paint pink red and black to camouflage the discolouration f the bricks. I’m no artist but paint was easier than knocking out or cleaning bricks.
👍🏽🧱
Usually after a job that goes smoothly...we get those slow tedious jobs that seem to drag on far too longer than planned...
Take Care
🇨🇦🤓🤟
Very true 🧱👍🏽
Hi team. Great job! Grab a can of cold galvanising spray next time. It will protect the cut end of the lintel 👍🏻
🧱👍🏽
You should have kept the angle iron from last week....
We did 😏🧱👍🏽
Watching this morning and just at the part where you took left pillars apart, you said I will need four more bricks, maybe seven, I'll get 6 lol, that did make me laugh, great job again though, getting those old canopies out is a right royal pain!
Cheers 😂. I do think out loud a lot and the contents of my doesn’t make sense much 😂🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild it made perfect sense, I do it all the time lol
🤔🤣🤣🧱👍🏽
Good job again lads 👌👍
Cheers pal 🧱👍🏽
Nice long day lads good job well done
Cheers John 🧱👍🏽
why does a nail infection stop an operation ? i probably know the answer but come on ☹ keep your chins up Steve and Alex
Any infection, even a scratch on the leg will stop the op as they won’t risk infection in the bone where the new hip goes,
Otherwise it’s back down to rip it out and try again .
🥺🧱👍🏽
Never heard so much nonsense
Take it up with the hospital then pal
👍💥💥👍
🧱👍🏽
Another great job lads, man that concrete canopy is overkill for what it provides if anything.
Regards Russ🙏
Cheers Russ ,very true 🧱👍🏽
Would the old concrete canopy have been cast in situ?
No it pre cast but built in very well . The internal lintel was cast in situ though , that’s what held up the soldier bricks 🧱 👍🏽
Nice job lads.
🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽
