You do seem to faf I’m a time served bricklayer with indentures had my own business since 24 years old now 65 used to put those u/beams in by the time you have talked about it 😂
nice video, thank you for sharing your buildability experience
That takes me back a year. I put in with another guy 2 steels with a point load on in the middle. I think I might of sent you the drawings. They went on 2 engineering bricks on the inner leaf. Was going to go on a steel plate at first on the celcons. It is a timber frame going on the top in my case but like you always say check with a structural engineer always..... Good luck Tom on the rest. I look forward to watching it.I might even get the upstairs bit done early next year.
jobs like this is definitely is not a one man job a good progress.
It's been me me and 1 labourer for almost the entire build...! I'm pretty exhausted now, not going to lie. I've had a couple of weekends where friends have come round to lend a hand, but the majority of the build has been just me and one labourer.
Nice one getting the pads level.
In future, when your hooking up waste pipes temporarily, some 63mm cable duct is really handy to have around. Quick to put on and pull off, and will bent to suit what’s needed!
cheers mate - great suggestion...! I wish I had known that before. I tried using some of the 90mm dust extraction hose that I had left over, but it wasn't quite long enough lol
Nice job
Thanks!
Just put a mark lower down with the laser each end then measure up to top of Padstone.
Your channel just popped up and very interested in what your doing so just subscribed nice job by the way
Awesome, thank you for the support!
Great video
Hi
Thanks for the video. I am hoping to do the same .
Any advice /guidance would be appreciated.
Great video, very humble of you to show the little errors. Not without incident too but glad to see you have it all under control! Might you be salvaging the brown tiles for your new kitchen?
Cheers - I think it's a little disingenuous to pretend it all goes right every time. To my mind the whole joy of building is problem solving! We decided against the brown tiles, as they didn't fit the look and feel of the new space. Sadly there weren't enough salvaged for it to be worth anyone's time to buy/collect them. I tried getting them off whole, but they were so stuck on there, invariably they cracked!
Nice video OBB. 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi did you not think of using acro props on the outside also. I know the ceiling joists are holding up the inside skin but what's holding the outside besides the pebble dash. Maybe if the headers are holding it up. Thanks again for your upload
It's actually a single skin of brick - solid wall construction with no cavity... because of that, the timbers sitting inside the brick was enough support to remove them from the outside. I checked with the building control officer and he confirmed my plan, so that was good enough for me to feel safe. I had planned to do some more from the outside, but didn't need to.
Just knock a hole out on the outside to find your joist height.find the lowest joist coz the won't be level work your steel to that n then pack your joist up if there out of level.
Awesome work. At first I thought you had a burst pipe when I saw that water dripping down until you mentioned the real reason:-)... I couldn't quite see it but is the beam supporting the joists with the wall plate sitting in the steel flange. I thought when you were measuring you measured the bottom of the joists to sit into the steel.
You're absolutely right mate, the wall plate did end up sitting in there. I couldn't see the wall plate from inside when I first measured, but when we took the bricks out from the outside we found them and removed enough to allow it all to sit in the steel - much stronger.
Why did you put in the steel beam?
Hi where did you purchase your pad stones from?
I found a company that creates them for you. There are a few sellers on eBay that can do the same too - find someone who is selling a load of concrete pads, and then ask if they can cast your specific dimensions at the strength specified.
Just make them yourself! It’s what I do.
Thanks graham, do you just form a box and pour in the concrete mix? It is stated on my beam design what the mix needs to be so. Cheers
@@nathanharris292 yep. Made a box from plywood. Googled mix ratio and made my own.
I made my original comment because I too looked at buying them. But cost was crazy due to delivery costs (due to weight)
Rub down plywood box insides with light oil but concrete doesn’t stick to ply much anyway.
Mine turned out great.
I also poured a couple in situ. Made up a ply box where padstone was needed and poured from above. Means if bonds directly to bricks/blocks below - but take in to account that concrete shrinks slightly when curing.
Good luck!
Thanks I will give this a go, do I need to put any reinforcement in with the mix? Or just the concrete? Cheers
Have you been the butt of a few 'can't even run a bath' jokes then???
Mate lockdown during an extension of this scale is the ultimate joke! Lol
