    You really are blessed to have such amazing, loyal friends to help you. You're all a great team together. Your enthusiasm is infectious. It's so wonderful to see the bricks being laid for the extension. Wow, it's really taking shape. I'm curious as to what your exciting personal news is on your next video on Wednesday 🤔
    I'll be watching! Take good care ❤xx

    Fantastic job Nicky and Harry. To eliminate any bounce in the timber joists, you can build 3 block piers under the centre of the joists with a spine joist on top that carries the centre of all the other joists, this will prevent any bounce in future. You can still do this as you have access.

      TU as they need to see this. Saying that, I like the idea of the gap under the floors as they can also install piping and whatnot down there.

    I’m pretty sure you guys edit these videos, if so you really are doing great! As a professional editor myself I can definitely see the progression you have had, in all aspects; story telling, b roll, shot composure and the time-lapses, I really think you have a good balance of raw character keeping it engaging and fun to watch.
    Superb job guys, can’t wait to see this one finished! 💙🔥

    As someone has mentioned the blockwork has not been set out correctly. The corners should have a 100mm block alternating on each course to give you half bond. Where your door and window openings are formed there should be a wall tie at every course preferably within 150 mm of the openings. ( they do not look like they are there ). Where you join the new blockwork to the existing brickwork there should be a vertical cut in the old brickwork through to the original bungalow cavity with a vertical d.p.c. This stops/ reduces the risk of damp .
    If you are putting insulation in as you go then the wall ties should be in a vertical pattern not staggered. ( not so important)
    Regarding comments on the floor. As long as you have a 225 air gap beneath your joists and sufficient ventilation to allow air flow with a vapour barrier directly beneath your flooring , then I believe this is ok. The comment of putting in a supporting wall under is a good idea but your engineer should have been ok with what you have done.
    Not criticising just trying to educate as iv'e been in the industry a long time and constantly make mistakes.

    Telling you now micks no bricklayer lol cuts in middle of wall , 1/4 bond all round. Not good . Chase the bond all the way round on the first course, it’s not hard. I work with thermalite blocks daily they don’t make a stong wall at the best of times let alone being laid 1/4. Sorry

    I did an extension too (not in the UK), but I must say it's the strangest and most complicated way of building I've seen. Not to disconsider your work, I actually think it's impressive, but here we do taller foundations (basically up to the DPC) and then start laying brick or block from there (after putting the membrane, of course). Since we have earthquakes we also do concrete posts. Anyway, watching you gives me so much energy I almost want to start building something.

  • @chriswelsh4397
    @chriswelsh4397 17 годин тому +5

    I’m not a brickie so I have a question for Mick the brickie . Why are the blocks not laid half bond (I see some are and most aren’t), I assume this would lose strength in the wall if not laid half bond? I’m looking forward to be educated 🤩👍
