Love that upside down front door! Most people like the glass panels on top, but I guess some prefer glass kick panels. 😄

Nice job just do what’s wanted.👍👍👍😎😎😎
😁🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽
Hi Steve & Alex. It was a hard job and I agree doesn’t look much to build but the is a lot work that you have to do get there. Which you two always do. Good job guys. Have a good week 👍
You too John boy, thanks pal 🧱🧱👍🏽
The offset door will allow more storage on one side, buggy,bike,golf clubs, you get the point 👍
🧱👍🏽
A tired but important fist bump at the end. Teamwork. Job well done 👍
Cheers Sean 🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽
Loving the front door. You trailblazers might start a new trend 😂
😏😆🧱👍🏽
That cloud was definitely a welsh cloud lads 😂 stop start on jobs is a pain but you got it done and looking good 👍 👌
That thunder had a Welsh twang to it I’m sure Justin 😨😂🧱👍🏽
Porch looking good. Top job.
Cheers John 🧱👍🏽
Nice work there!
These new regs for a cavity is insane!
I want to build on top of an existing kitchen with a 65mm full fill cavity i built 10 years ago. Never gonna build a 150mm cavity on that. Plan is to extend the bathroom.
Good luck 🧱👍🏽
Nice work guys
Cheers Steve 🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽
Good job 👍🏻
Cheers 🧱👍🏽
Nice job, always a pleasure watching you build things. Steve/Alex, can you let us know why it's was so tough, what's different on this porch that is more difficult than says another porch you have built of similar size.
It wasn’t particularly tough but just a bit awkward 🧱👍🏽thanks 🧱👍🏽
Great job boys as usual
Thanks Robert 🧱👍🏽
Great job... Ty
😁🧱👍🏽
Another great video guys. Totally agree with you. Door would look much better in the middle.
😁🧱👍🏽
I'd be moving that house door to the centre of the porch,great job
😆👍🏽👍🏽🧱
Hello fellas glad you got the battery charger same one we use as I said at when you got the Milwaukee tools just load batteries up at start of day and swop dead batteries shoul 32:11 d never stop waiting for batteries porch looks good col from Oz
Cheers Col , yeah not need for loads of power points either 🤙🏾🤙🏾🧱👍🏽
Another great job done, agree with you about the door.
🧱👍🏽
another good job done
🤙🏾🤙🏾🧱👍🏽
Excellent as usual Lads - really interesting to watch! 👊
Nice one thanks Ian 🧱🧱
Brilliant video as usual lads keep up the good work your a pleasure to watch
Cheers Gary 🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽
Why dont you use reo and/or weldmesh?
Never heard of it 🧱👍🏽
Lads, your channel is worth 50,000 and more.
Thanks Tony 🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽
Love your countdown, you worked hard to get it done those blocks went up well no 150 mil insulation helped , keep up the good work thoroughly enjoyed it best regards Ken
Cheers Ken 🧱👍🏽
Love the burglar friendly door install😂
😏🧱👍🏽
Nice job lads, don't blame you for getting out of that storm, I've been hit twice by lightning at work and believe me it's not pleasant.
Jeez 😳🧱👍🏽
Great job as always ,the original porch was a joke surprising it did not fall down on it's own Ha Ha.
Ta Colin it was a shocker 😬🧱👍🏽
🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽
Flying last night, so missed the show
I did flag up your absence to Pat so I will leave it in his hands 😆🧱👍🏽
I thought when I saw them you would not be happy with those narrow end pieces, especially if your going to hang a door on them, we'll done guys.
Cheers Colin 🧱👍🏽
😅
😁🧱👍🏽
Star Wars Day ...May the 4th be with You !!
🖖👽
That door is for YODA... he can look in better..😆
😆😆🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽
Love watching your videos.! I have one question in this video it looks like that door is upside down.???
Thanks David , it certainly is 😆🧱👍🏽
Great job and a good watch .. must admit that offset door would drive me bonkers, but I assume the house layout won't allow it to be moved. The Australian door supplied looks different. Joking aside a really excellent job done there.
Thanks Alan . I did quote but the budget didn’t allow it unfortunately 😬🧱👍🏽
Agree with you The inner door needs to be moved to the middle.
What’s the betting that Steve and Alex will be back in the future doing just that! 😂
😉🤙🏾🧱👍🏽
Haha the doors upside down. I’m surprised they didn’t notice. Question do you lads ever use rebar or wire mesh in your concrete footer or slabs?
Keep up the good work and I enjoy your explanations unlike Bill H
😏😏.
Re bar, absolutely not unless we have to. 🧱👍🏽
Ok, the door caught my attention. I assume they will flip it and have it opening/swinging away from where the porch door is?
😆😆🧱👍🏽
Hey Alex and Steve.. just want to say your both doing amazing work and I hope me and my boy has the same relationship as you both have when he is older!
One question, I’m currently renovating our old barn into a house and the architect has put on our plans to use a wall starter kit attaching block work to stone walls.. my only concern with that is the wall isn’t flat.. would bluebird ties be a better option as you have used here ?
Hi pal, yes any screw in tie would be a better option on an uneven wall 🧱👍🏽
Your old titan (RIP buddy) would have eaten that render for breakfast....
It’s still in the background and it struggled 😬🧱👍🏽
Just a small point but why is the door upside down ?
Ah ha 😏
Inner door definitely needs to be moved to a central position, where it is now looks so out of place and makes the porch second rate. (Not due to your workmanship guys) The Customer has to make that decision. 🖖👍
🧱👍🏽🤜🏽🤛🏽
Alright steve and alex. Currently building an extension in ireland with a 200mm cavity the new norm here if the cavity is being pumped its torture all concrete blocks all over hand work 😔
Jeez good luck with that Dave 🥵🧱👍🏽
Hello, why two dpms, and how did you tie into the existing brickwork? Cheers.
Two dpms as that is the rule for concrete slabs . We used wall starters and screw in ties 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Thanks for the reply 👍
edit: just found your channel so went back to see no tieing-in, no dpc!! I'll keep watching instead of asking daft questions!
Hi mate what happens when steel goes in ....does building regs check it and check the calcs aswell
Yes but no steel goes into this one 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild no I'm just asking In general pal we are putting some steels in this week like goal posts I've got the calcs for it but will they just want the calcs sending over to them or ...
@@SteveAndAlexBuild have you had any dealings with quadrant pal
Did you center the door after? Looks odd. Door upside down?
The door wasn’t moved due to the budget. The upside down one was screwed there temporarily for security.
It’s a real talking point though 😆😆🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild I assume everything gets plaster finish?
Steve u said you can do one 3mtr square does the mean 3mtr long and 3mtr wide?
No Phil that would be 9 m square 🤯🧱👍🏽
Square metres is calculated length x width so 1x2=2, 2x2=4, 6x3=18 etc, etc.
🧱👍🏽
Why no rebar in the slab?
No need 🧱👍🏽
Steve and Alex dont look now they put the door on up side down
😆😆🧱👍🏽
Why is the door to the house upside down?
Temporary 😁🧱👍🏽
It's plumb.
The rest of the world is 180° out🤭
😆🧱👍🏽
how come that door is upside down boys?
🤔upside down ? 😆
Your phones upside down
🤣🧱👍🏽
Didn't take the little cuts out?
No they were fine 🧱👍🏽
Would have preferred to see it been built with a cavity block
Customer is always right 🧱👍🏽
Why? For the insulative properties? I wonder if there'll be any heating in here, I'm assuming not?
Not sure a🧱👍🏽
How are they going to keep the water out? Don’t say render 🤷🏻♂️
Ok I won’t 🧱👍🏽
Alex, time for some new pants?
They are his favourites so he wouldn’t bin them 😆😆🧱👍🏽
Excuse my ignorance but why the insulation on a out side step and my mechanic tools live in MY garage but the son in law uses them mind you i would not have it any other way
thanks for the video
Not sure what you mean Eddie 🤔👍🏽👍🏽🧱
@@SteveAndAlexBuild you were on about the Wacker lives in your garage but you use it and i said MY tools live in mine but the son in law uses them
Ah 😆🧱👍🏽
So you made a mud room? Stone would have been nicer.
What’s a mud room ?
@@SteveAndAlexBuild It is where you either take off your boots or clean your shoes prior to entering a home. We don't see it to often in North America but have from time to time. Older districts it was standard now not so much.
Don’t go for 50,000 go for 100,000 why not think Big think positive always think positive best way, no need no room for doom and gloom
Cheers Liam 😆 tell your friends 😁🧱👍🏽
Your house is a new build isn't it? Check you wont fall foul of contractual clauses in the purchase agreement by building a porch. Some of these new home builders put all sorts of things in for X amount of years after purchase to make sure they are well clear of liability's on the original planning agreements.
I know Gleeson with their infamous gravel drives have a clause that stops you from putting in a proper driveway after purchase. They have actually took people to court for contravening this.
Cheers 🧱👍🏽
They say its the safest place to be is in your van or car in a thunder storm
😁🧱👍🏽
More subscribers? Shorten your explanations, few people want to hear about why your doing what you are- they tune in to IS YOU WORKING. Less talk, a lot more action BABY! Keep up,the good work gents.
🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild I disagree. It's always good to hear from you both. I'd say fewer Timelapse's...At the end of the day you're not going to please everyone all of the time, though. Keep up the brilliant work.
I disagree, the explanations and asides are a lot of what makes this channel great as far as I'm concerned. They're usually crisp and clear, and avoid the repetition I've seen on other channels.
I agree. Balance of explanations, timelapses, slo-mo's and real times is spot on in my opinion. I do sometimes rewind 20 secs or so and watch bits again if I miss a detail but I'm cool with that. I did think you were brave starting the block work a few hours after laying and trowelling the slab. If I had been on the job, there would have been mortar snots, bits of block, footprints, half eaten pies, coffee cups, tools and stuff embedded in the wet concrete. I'd probably have got booted off site 5 blocks into the job 😅😅.
Very true . Thanks pal 🧱👍🏽
Your always moning
What’s moning ?🤔
