Absolutely stunning stonework bud. I hope I can do half as good a job when the time comes for mine! And it was heartbreaking to see that lovely blockwork coming down. Especially since I’m really having to take time to get mine absolutely perfect for the bottom course… and even then it’s a few mm out here and there, which I hate after trying desperately not to have it out a single mm. I just hope when the oak sleepers go over it, it all fits together nicely.
Thanks! I really enjoyed doing the stonework. Ah I know, the wall had to come down as I hadn’t quite thought through the design 🤣. The blocks will now live on in another wall somewhere. Your oak sleepers will fit perfectly, don’t stress too much on every block needing to be perfect
@@SamDaviesBuilder thanks buddy. Hopefully as I do more blockwork I can show you up close pics and you can give your verdict haha. Will there be more stonework in the next part? How did you get those plumb lines attached to the ground? And how did you manage to keep them plumb while screwing them into the ground?
@@MarcusT86 There won't be stonework in the next part but I'll have more stonework when I build the chimney on it. Those plumb lines were tied to electrical tacks that I hammered into the floor but a screw would work just as well. I used my green laser to mark a line on the floor and onto the wood at the same time, I then marked those points with a pencil and I knew where to attach the line to top and bottom, as long as a line is marked on the floor you can see if its out once you attach the string to the screw/nail
@@MarcusT86 that’s the ones! Although I actually think a screw would be better, you could drill it on the angle so you have adjustment depending on which way you turn it. I’m not actually sure how many parts it’ll be, at least 8 I would say
Class. Can't wait to have a barbie on that!
We will be having one this year even if it’s in the snow 🤣
Hope you pay your videographer well 😝 looking good 👍
Makes my life so easy when I have the labourer filming, it’s a nightmare when I’m on my own setting up cameras, charging etc!

@@SamDaviesBuilder ah good idea buddy.
By electrical racks are those you fix cable to the wall with?
And how many parts is this going to be in total?
