Good job D, your methods are old skool! Sometimes back to basics does the job, my dad was a builder , came here from 🇱🇨50s, nice to see the mixing , brings back memories! 🤜🏾
Good solid job of the steps Darren look good. I used to use newspaper to soak surface water up as you trowel it. Makes a difference! Just lay it onto the wet concrete and gently trowel it. Allows you to finish it quicker
Some of the mixes seemed very wet. The second mix seemed drier but then they got wet again. Hard graft so I shouldn't comment but it made the finishing almost impossible. It will be solid but some texture on the steps might have been better....but that wasn't possible. Need some Caribbean sun on it!
I understand the graft but why didnt you sprinkle some cement on top and brush stroke it, youve grafted and essentially made a slip hazard unfortunately, appreciate the graft tho keeps the blood warm
@darrenthebuilder oh snap, tarp wouldn't have helped either because of the slope, If nothing else they're some solid steps, knocking the sharp edge off was a good touch, still thinking it will be a slip hazard unless I'm missing something ?
Hard work is good once in a while and important to teach the young men the value of a days graft. Too many young men these days are work shy and we see the repercussions. These guys are turning into men before your eyes
@@darrenthebuilderIts easier to fix a building while playing Fortnite... Greets freom germany, same shoot happening here! The young guys need to learn to listen and work.
What's with the old skool italian style mixing haven't seen that since my dad was mixing concrete in garden the way my nonno taught him when I was a child 🤌 😅
Those steps are lovely. It's fantastic that you are training Tristan on so many different skills.

I actually did sprinkle cement on it and then it started raining 😂 you can’t win with UK weather you can only try you best 🤷🏾♂️

Looks good mate👍👍
Nice job
Cant get enough Darren and the team.
You batty boy 😂
Would it not have been cheaper and quicker, to use the brinks from the wall and put them on edge?
As this was only going to be temporary
Thought you might of put a expansion strip where the concrete joins on top
The drive wall will be dug up in the near future and replaced so no point really.

You must have left your shovel behind. Much harder knocking up the muck using spades.
One of the worst jobs ever, mixing concrete by hand. Well done guys. At least that job isn't as stressful as the cowboy build.
Buy the poor man a shovel Darren lol he can mix more quickly.
Nice job by the comedy club gang. Beware of the fox and cat foot print when you return to k rend😂😂
I'm looking forward to when you come back and find kid's handprints and cat paw marks in the concrete 😃
Lets all have a whip round for another shovel for Darren ;)
Does the wood stay in place?
No we remove it one the concrete set 😊
Brilliant work bro keep it up 🙏
🔥🔥🔥
Nice steps a good follow up to that solid wall
Thanks 🙏🏾
You blokes do work hard mate. It's hard to find people who work with you not scared of hard graft keep hold of those lads Darren
