Nothing but respect for you lifting those trench blocks with a knackered hip
Thanks pal 🥵👍🏽🧱
As a builder of 30 years I find the high pitched whirring of an electric cement mixer very soothing and theraputic. I think I might have it played at my funeral lol. Great content boys
😆😆🧱👍🏽
I often stare into the mixer, just standing....staring 😂
Easily done. I was thinking of doing a live channel that's just a mixer going round with the perfect mix in, Hours of fun
😆🧱👍🏽
Great to see that father-son hug mid vid.
Glad the day went better after the shaky start.
It's hard to keep positive when you're in pain all day but your resilience is inspiring.
We're all rooting for you.
Thanks mark . Really struggling now 😔🧱👍🏽
Great effort fellas.
Feel for you Steve. Never seen you struggle so much. Takes grit.
Well done Alex for stepping up
Thanks Tony Alex is a star 🥹🧱👍🏽
Good work that's some graft, nice bit of Sunday watching catching up on this job, cheers 🍻
Thanks pal 😁🧱👍🏽
guys great work. hats off to you steve your a worrier. Alex keep it going pal your a top man looking after ya dad
Cheers Andy 😬😆🧱👍🏽
Great job Steve and Alex we all have are bad days great job keep up great work 👍👍
Cheers Dave 🧱👍🏽
I really do understand your frustrations Steve, similar issues with my knee replacement - totally knackers everything you took for granted for years - so you have my sincere commiserations mate. Doesn't help I know, but at least you know your subscribers are feeling for you. Guys, you really pulled that day out of the hat after a shitty start - ruined cement doesn't help. Lovely gesture from the customer to get you something spicey! How nice was that! So heart-warming to see you two working so well together - and thanks Steve for the editing and the upload. Keep safe.
Cheers Dave it’s frightening and depressing seeing yourself deteriorate bit by bit 🥺.
The customers were lovely . Al got bacon and eggs on toast most days 😋😋🧱👍🏽
Always Neat workmanship
Steve & Alex. 🍲💪
Thanks ☺️🧱👍🏽
Another great vid fellas. Don’t envy you throwing those trench blocks about! As always, great detail and quality.
Cheers Steve 🧱👍🏽
Great video lads that bloody hip hopefully it will all be sorted soon. 👍
Fingers crossed Alan 😞🧱👍🏽
Brilliant teamwork & video Alex but Its so sad that Dad's still struggling & waiting for his opp 🍀🍀
COME ON NHS HELP THIS GENTLEMAN PLEASE 📢
Thanhs Ray 🥹🧱👍🏽
Helo again from Poland. Steve, can I give you a little bit of advise. Try not to criticize yourself so much. You are simply ill (in need of a hip). We all slow down with age but when illness comes, it adds up. You are still doing a hell of a lot and with Alex by your side, you will get through this hard time. You are still a very valuable member of this team. Try not to get down. All be it slower, your work is still done to a very high quality and that is what counts.
Thanks very much that means a lot 🥹🙏🏽🧱👍🏽
Need an apprentice so you can take it easy Steve and Alex knows what he’s doing! Good work guys 👍
Thanks Marty 🧱👍🏽
An apprentice bricky ? the son barely does any bricklaying as it is And what’s he going to pay him with .
@JoeObrien-lh8kz . Very true I’m afraid 🥺🧱👍🏽
Yeah the coffee breaks for Steve will add up but he’ll just need to budget that into the job, brains over brawn and Alex can do it!
I’d have no complaints if you had carried that work out for me 💪🏼 👍🏼 , great job under the circumstances. 🙏🏻
Cheers 🧱👍🏽
Ain’t it grand to see you guys working so hard in such a dreary day!
Well done pair of you really feel for you Steve 😢 had a lot of lumps and bumps in my life completely different trade and been retired quite some time probably more determined than you to work and put bread on the table hang in there I'm sure Alex will not let you struggle 👍
😁🧱👍🏽
Cheers Mick 🧱👍🏽
Thanks
Thanks Mully for your very kind gift 🎁 🙏🏽🥹🧱👍🏽
Another great video lads, It's great to see Alex grow as a brickie over the youtube years and helping his dad by doing all the heavy stuff. I hate the fact that people always think they know better than you, and you always have to point out why you have done something, but that's the devil of social media, I suppose.
Cheers Gary . He is the best 😍😍🧱👍🏽
Sounds like you’re really hurting,hope relief comes your way soon. As always you guys pay great attention to details which gives the customers a fine job
Thanks mark 🙏🏽🧱👍🏽
Hi Steve &Alex. Great video guys. As always the setting out is spot on. Does not mater how many times you check it. It’s getting it right that matters. Feel your struggle had my hip replaced 18 months ago. That’s when I found your channel. Have a good weekend 👍
Great to hear mate 😁👍🏽👍🏽🧱
Steve people just dont understand how much bricklaying effects the body its a grueling physical job day in day out in all weathers. The footings are really hard on the body .People moan how much bricklayers charge but it a technical trade that eats the body .if you had the materials in a pile in front of you that youve moved layed dug etc since you started to now i think youd understand why the hip is shot.
Your not the only one out there struggling pleanty of us in pain every day .we should be getting payed way more in my opinion how many people put there body on the line in work not many mate .
Nhs is poor but i hope you have it done soon i feel your pain pal ❤👍🧱🧱🧱
All so true Justin and very frustrating 🤕👍🏽🧱
@martin2466
To be honest Martin i still love the job but id retire tomorrow if i could my body is suffering now 🤣👍🧱🧱
🥺🥺🧱👍🏽
@@martin2466
Only 50.so got a while yet Martin 🤣👍
Take care!
Jeez Wayne thanks so so much .
We appreciate your kind gift so much 🥹🥹🙏🏽😍🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild no problem. Wish it was more.
🥹🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽
Great job Steve and Alex, keep up the great work. Hope you get your hip done soon Steve must be bloody horrible for you
Cheers Jack yeah really struggling now 🥺🧱👍🏽
Great video guys 👍
🤙🏾🧱👍🏽
Nice planning and careful consideration for the quality of this build.
😁🧱👍🏽
Well done, I feel for you
Thanks Tim 🧱👍🏽
Go private Steve. £15k for hip replacement. You could take on more work when it is done but if you wait another 12 months your hip is bound to deteriorate. Can see you are having problems but huge respect. Videos are great.
Wish we had the money 🥺🧱👍🏽
My dad got knocked back five time, on the sixth they did it, realy hope you have better luck.
I finally got mine replaced on the NHS. I'm 6 weeks post op. Waited 3 years. How on earth you're doing this work needing a hip op has blown me away 😮
@davidflavin congratulations David glad to hear it 🤙🏾🧱👍🏽
good work guy;s hope dad gets his hip fixed soon
Thanks pal 🤞🏼🧱👍🏽
Steve what can I say, excellent video. Alex is certainly carrying you the amount that man did WOW but Steve please don't exploit him he is your son and loves you dearly I think is would break his heart.
Im glad our pre-op went well and I am looking forward to hearing about all ok and recovering.
Best regards and concerns Ken
The pre op didn’t go well . I’m in exactly the same position I was 6 months ago
Once again well done guys
Cheers Steve 🧱👍🏽
Thanks!
Wow thank you Roland so much .
So kind of you 🙏🏽🧱👍🏽
Great work guy's
Ta Rob 🧱👍🏽
Milwaukee makes a transfer pump - you should consider requesting one. Rig it up with a basic filter, as needed, and save yourselves some time and money. Cheers.
🧱👍🏽
Hey Steve, can’t help but wonder if the hip replacement doctors worked as hard and as much as you and Alex your surgery would have been done by now. Cheers from Nova Scotia
😆😆🧱👍🏽
love the plug socket facing outside for the mixer..
It’s an outdoor socket
Best wishes Steve and Alex, as always fantastic content keep up the great work!! Hope you get your hip sorted soon Steve. Happy to give you boys a lift if you ever need an extra pair of hands for a day 💪
Thanks very much 👍🏽🧱🙏🏽
great videos ,so interesting.what a team.
Ta Michael 🧱👍🏽
Good stuff 👍👍
😆🧱👍🏽
I think you are doing marvellous Steve with your hip hopefully you will have it sorted its a good job you have Alex to help you ,dos Alex do the editing on the video if he does he does a good job ,thanks for the video take care
Thanks pal he is a massive help to me 🥹.
Alex makes the thumbnail.
The rest is me 😌🧱👍🏽
Way to grind it out!
🧱👍🏽
Great job both of you. Considering the lousy weather and everything being p..ss wet through, you totally bossed that. A lot of skill required to overcome horrible working conditions and produce good work. Not sure enough people appreciate that. Looking forward to seeing the slab get prepped and laid. I'm sure it will be a pig to do and as usual, you will both make it look easy. 😊
Thanks pal 😁🧱👍🏽
Love the work you do keep it up!
Thanks very much 🧱👍🏽
Credit to you both, but especially Steve, that's got to be so frustrating not being able to do what you gotta do because of your pain.....Hope it gets sorted very soon matey.....Saludos desde España mi amigos.
It’s so painful mentally and physically I have to push myself so hard 🥺🥺🧱👍🏽
great job lads keep up the good work
Thanks David 🙏🏽🧱👍🏽
Another great vid lads, feel for you lifting those blocks. Whats the plan for Alex when you are out with your op?
Thanks
Find as many small jobs as possible 🤞🏼🧱🧱👍🏽
Don’t make em like they use to anymore proper pat rafters #top grafters!!! Looking at doing an extension the same size if not slightly bigger what you you say the rough cost is to get it up to damp in materials roughly same size as this?
Cheers. There is never a rough cost as materials and costs differ so much .
Better to get a quote in person from a local builder 🧱👍🏽
Great work as always despite the weather.. btw - your tool sponsor does the perfect (battery) pump for trench flooding (MILWAUKEE M12BSWP-0 M12 HYDROPASS STICK WATER PUMP) - perhaps they might let you try one as not expensive [£99 ex vat and batt]).
Cheers Paul 🧱👍🏽
Like your vids.... just wondering why u don't use a longer tamp for concrete say 6ft long., and tamp the lenght of the footing? U seem to use a short 1 and tamp across the width of the footing. Seems weird...
Dosent have to be heavy. But longer the better really. Less work when tamping and less dips.. makes for a flatter footing...
But won’t fit in the van 🚐 🤔
@SteveAndAlexBuild 😆 ..sure there's a bit of batten, a stud, some 4x2 ect on every job... trust me it's easier if u do... not claiming I know it all, but after 40 years being a ground worker, I learnt that...
@neilwatcham8932 . 🧱👍🏽
Steve: So sad to see your pain. Try speaking to your MP to see if he can put any pressure on the hospital for you. All the best.
Thanks pal 🙏🏽🧱👍🏽
Steve look after your hip mate, I spent 40 years on the trowel now can't move with back problems
🧱👍🏽
Hey guys if your over budget on your build consider building your foundation with 7n 100mm concrete good bit cheaper than those trenches maybe no ideal if your hips knackered
Not an option I’m afraid. 🥵🧱👍🏽
Well not a easy build,but you are winning,hope you get the hip done soon you must be in agony,thought it was 18 week wait for a hip seems that might be wishful thinking,hope the weather holds out for you.
It’s as easy as they get Brian unless you’re disabled . It’s very frustrating.
I’ve been waiting more than a year now 🥺🧱👍🏽
Good work 👍🏻 at what age did you start noticing your hip pain, do you think it’s caused from your work?
Probably about 3 years ago .
It’s osteoarthritis but the job has contributed 🧱👍🏽🥺
Maybe you could invest in a small water pump for those rainy days - enjoy your content !!
😁🧱👍🏽
That hip is really holding you up now Steve but you’re still in good hands with alex there m8
Very true John 🧱👍🏽
2023 Alex 😁💪💪
😍😍🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽
Next Year? I hope this was made last year. How is your other joints holding up due to favoring your hip. After I broke my back and I got that sorted out. A hip both knees and a ankle became the new problems.
Yes it was last year thankfully . The aging process is over rated 😒🧱👍🏽
A slow start but it came good in the end.
😁🧱👍🏽
You need a block lifter, makes that job a lot easier. 14:44
🧱👍🏽
The little Milwaukee m12 pump would work for this
🧱👍🏽
Mate, your talk of your hip and not getting paid. I would pay for the precision you bring to a job!
Thanks 🧱👍🏽
Nice vid lads . sounds like you wasn't enjoying that one steve .on your knees in bad weather. doesn't get any worse for you .at least you made it to get it filed in .tell ya what this rubbish weather is getting really annoying now lol .👍👍👍
Hi mark , yeah really struggling now 😔.
We’ve only had 4 payed days work since before Christmas just when I need to be building up the bank.
Wet or cold for 3 months it’s been grim mate 😒🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild not good mate .yere it's hard to save anything these day as it is .that's without having days off .I just sorting out my bloody tax .that's a bloody nightmare too . hopefully it will come soon the op hay .you been waiting bloody ages now 👍👍👍

I don't understand this; I'm in upstate New York State. Here concrete is $123/cubic yard. [£97/cubic yard]
Good quality structural fill gravel is $9/ton [2,000 lbs.] [£7/ton [2,000 lbs.] Gravel is much cheaper than concrete.
Why use 6 cubic meters of concrete?
How much is a cubic meter of concrete delivered in you area?
Where would you put the gravel?
Concrete £192 per cube
Stone £70 p t
But concrete must go direct onto the clay 🧱👍🏽
And you still have to buy and lay blocks in a deep trench.
Steve did the math and it didn't add up, and you have to work in trench that would have needed bailing out every morning.
Deep fill was best solution here for these guys.
I wish that someone would start a go fund me page for Steve and his replaement hip
They have.
Thanks Alan 😁🙏🏽👍🏽🧱
Use the Hoover to clea up the water!

i can hear geese
Yep 🪿🪿🪿🪿🧱😁👍🏽
I think I've said this before Steve.. 48,800 subscribers at 30p. each will get you sorted by next week. My partners having hers done next week.. after 3 postponements..!. hopefully, it will go ahead this time. In and out in a day, we can't wait.. good luck mate. 👍🏴
Cheers buddy , good luck to your wife too 🤞🏼😊🧱👍🏽
Now when you have that hip done and your laying in bed after the operation get those toes moving as soon as you can( without overdoing it) you won’t regret having it done, I have two, the first was done nearly twenty years ago, Im seventy in a few weeks.
Thanks John will do 🧱👍🏽
Why so fast.
🤔??
As much as I love your content I can’t be the only one frustrated by these forward notifications. If it’s ready why not just post it now.
Or is there some technical reason for them. I haven’t seen anyone else use it.
We post a premiere which we do every Monday and Thursday at 8.30 pm
. It’s simply a notification to remind people so they don’t forget and can join in the live chat 💬 🧱👍🏽
Hi Steve & Alex - I guess your not the one for charity, but could you not setup a "GO FUND ME" for a private hip replacement.
I don’t think my hip is serious enough for People to give their hard earned money 😞🧱👍🏽
Seems rather pointless having a large cavity wall on a building made of glass! (Or even polycarbonate)
Building Regs clearly don't have any common sense used when coming up with changes to the rules.
Glass ? Polycarbonate?
@@SteveAndAlexBuild My bad, though this was a larger Conservatory build, just seen its an Extension! Which would make more sense.
@HughzieTube 😉🧱👍🏽
I think it's time Alex stepped up his work rate to give his dad a bit of a break particularly now when he's in pain.
You obviously haven’t been watching properly 😒
Don't you watch their videos?
@@martin2466 you obviously haven’t been watching properly,are you new to the channel . Don’t you watch their videos . Stock answers .i just had a look and @1350ps has 19 comments on the channel. I suspect he has been watching properly , he’s not new to the channel and he does watch there videos.
🧱👍🏽
DON’T HAVE YOUR HIP DONE! It’s not your hip it’s your muscles, they need massaging and stretching.
🙄
@@SteveAndAlexBuild
I know what I’m talking about, you’ll find out the hard way I guess🤷🏻♂️
@@martin2466
The fact that he can move his leg is evidence enough that that isn’t the case, don’t need an X-ray to see that. Getting the joint moving freely again will allow the joint to repair its self. Muscle cramps and knots cause excessive force on the joint causing the wear of that joint. If he massages his legs particularly the outside left leg and it’s hard as rock and tender, then his muscles are causing excess stress on the joint for sure. He is also walking on the outside of his left foot that will cause the outer muscles to spasm and contract, leading to hip and knee issues.
No, I am not a quack, I’m not that ignorant. The sickcare profession only treats the symptoms never the cause!
@@martin2466
If the joint is bone on bone, then he wouldn’t be able to move his leg, as he can clearly move his leg then it’s not bone on bone and can be repaired. See video linked 30 mins on for how to repair a warn hip. Though it’s not easy and may take years.
