In this video SINGLE STOREY EXTENSION #3 - DIGGING THE FOOTINGS, daily life continues on this extension build series. John takes you through the next couple of days where we see him sharing the Yanmar vio 17 digger with Tony as they show you how to dig footings. Also things don't go quite to plan when a neighboring tree means they have to dig footings to 2.5m deep as advised by the structural engineer. For safety reasons John explains the use of shuttering plywood and how to strengthen footings using shuttering before the concrete pour for the pillars to hold the concrete lintels. Ollie gets to work on hand digging footings to square them off and Joe is excavating old clay pipes and lead pipes. The guys get on the power tools and use the hammer breaker to break up concrete from the old footings.
PLEASE NOTE: we’ll endeavour to answer questions and comments as soon as possible depending on our work schedules.

This mini series deserves more views. Excellent stuff.
Great digger skills guys. Harder than it looks. I had an lpg tank sunk in my garden last year and they left the digger for a few days with the keys inside.......I’m only human....jumped in and subsequently made a right muddy mess of my garden dicking around in it! Way harder than it looks 👌🏼🏴👍🏼
Lego land doesn’t
have diggers for nothing!
Love your videos guys. lol Tony's concentration face at 3:00 on the digger... looks like Peter Weller in Robocop! 😆
Great video boys nice and muddy you all take so much care of the surrounding keep up the good work 👍👍👍👍

Supreme quality work in very difficult conditions by the supreme team .Lucky clients by the way.

Dope 👍👍👍
Great teamwork by all the guys and good tip there on setting out your pegs to allow the digger to get through, just goes to show someone's been around a while, but by the look's of that site I bet John wished he was in that nice podcast room. When are we going to see it getting some use?
Glad you enjoyed the video Kevin.
I don't mind getting muddy, it's all part of the journey.
We should be releasing the first podcast very soon, so watch this space.
All the best, John 😊
@@BuildWithAE Enjoy your weekend all the guys at A&E 👌👌👌
great vid, when was this filmed, looks like middle of winter!
Woah that's a big tree to miss 😮
I was wondering how the digger traversed the intersection where trenches meet in the corners - a couple of ply sheets as a bridge, eh? Never thought that would be adequate for the weight but clearly it is
Two and a half metres deep? Wonder how much the original house is standing on?
2.5m a doddle.. We've been told dig 4m length for extension to 3m depth due to being close to public sewer. Any idea how long that takes?
No temporary works considerations?
I just got my mini digger ticket I can't wait to start work but it's hard to get work when you have no experience and no one's willing to bring you on board to gain experience
Best thing to do mate, price the work and don’t tell them you have your ticket so you must good enough as you wouldn’t of got your ticket have confidence in your self mate all the best Tony 👍
👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Peter 👍👍
Out of curiosity, instead of digging a footer at 2.5mtr deep, would under pinning be an option? In the Netherlands they pin absolutely everything but doesn’t seem to be a default here so I was wondering what the reason for that moght be?
When they hit the hard compact clay they should have called the BI back to review the depth requirement.
Another great warts n all video chaps . BLOODY TREES 🌳😡😡😡. Heave , clay boards and gen 1 concrete . A nice bit of common sense on the front elevation 👌🏼🧱👍🏼
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it guys - have an awesome week! 👍
@@BuildWithAE 😎😁🧱👍🏽
Nightmare, shame you couldn’t of got a 2.5 or 3t digger in there access looks tight tho. You should get some track mats, defo worth the investment. I use them all the time.
Surely you know about trees and foundations before you started digging?
If you dig any deeper you will probably strike oil! Imagine having to do it all by hand like they had to years ago Good video guys!++.
It felt like the journey to the centre of the earth digging those! We were very grateful there was only a small amount of hand digging to do 😅
Thanks for watching.
All the best, John 😊
Leylandii pain in the arse when digging footings.
They are horrible things. Get massive. Just removed two massive ones in my garden. Took up about a third of the space
Bloody Triffids that's what they remind me of........a reference for our older viewers!
I've made a career out of climbing them, torn to shreds from briars, covered in pigeon shit and they are usually covered in ivy, 🙄🙄 God I'd love a nice clean oak or beech to climb over level clean ground with good access. Just for once, 😆🌲🇮🇪
shortcuts on the foundations are just not worth it.
Absolutely not, get the footings right and your away.
