@@46joe Did he mean the verb, "Throw away" as in it is a "throw away society".? Or in the adjective form as in "its a throwaway" society? Either way there is a obvious difference between "through" and threw ....... or throw...! Why are you using capital letters in your reply, are you shouting at me? 🤣
Hey guys, in 1977 I worked with polish guys who were doing an extension to a front door, I couldn't understand why they dug four feet for the footings, and not speaking Polish I never really got it. You guys have after all these years have set me right. Bravo
Worked on a footing in Wraysbury 470mm out of level over about 20m we laid trench blocks on edge one end to get level, that was nearly 20 years ago and they are still standing, if you doubt it I recently saw the guy who worked on it with me and he confirmed that
That foundation guy must have foundthepub before starting work on that foundation. The right dynamic duo is going to step in and make it right. Cheers guys
When Steve was talking to camera in the van, he looks like Elvis, the headrest looks like he has got black hair, pity he can’t swing his hips anymore 😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍
Another episode of Steve and Alex make chicken soup out of chicken shhhh, looking forward to next one!!! Just followed Alex on Twitch so now have double notifications on
Costs time and money we usually don't get back free work to correct it .soul destroying but you did a great job lads as you always do .don't make the mixers like they used to 👍🙌
Nice work Lads and was wondering about the term " that was a right pig of a job!" came from bricklaying years ago because of bad levels? I'm not a brikie by trade but you would hear this sort of language all the time where I live.
Well remember many time having to cope with out or level / square / flat / vertical building work. Also concrete work and builders .... Reminds me that neither electricians nor plumbers should be let within miles of silicone work. They inevitably manage to get silicone EVERYWHERE! Thank God I'm retired. Well done team, love your work.

My mother had her hip replaced a few years back. Changed her life, can't keep her out of her massive garden carrying slabs and building patios at 80+!!
Lets be honest most concrete footings are just poored then they leave it for the bricklayer to get it level good bricklayers can get over most problems, thats why there are not that many good one's about.
That foundation was ridiculous, the extra time should be charged to the guys who did it or take off their payment. Anyway you got round it guys as per.
Very shortsighted of the owners to put a strange dogleg in the extension merely because they didn’t want to disturb a 1970’s concrete garage that could have been moved….or rebuilt in brick.
could have been much easier on a level surface don't fix the mixer buy a new one its a through away society
I’m hoping this is a sarcastic comment 🫣

What ever is a "through away society"? 🤔🙄

Considering the accuracy of the footings, I think you made a good start there. Cracking job as ever fellas.

30 years ago we built footings out of common brick and we had a 28 course pig 🐷 😩🧱👍🏽
Had a few miles out where the groundworkers had the lazer set up on angle for their drainage and hadn't changed it bk

Didn't that "periscope" vent just plug in the other end?
Yes

All the weight on two strips of mortar under the block, why not a full bed ?
There is no weight in the cavity
The worst foundation we have worked on this year was 12 inches out of level 😂 on a 20 meter 9 inch hollow block wall spent the day cutting
Jeez ! 🫣🤦🏽🧱👍🏽
@ we don’t work for that groundwork company anymore 😂. Have a great week looks very wet
@Theoldbricklayer Don’t blame you mate .
Same to you and same weather up here 🥶🌨️🧱👍🏽

6 ft level and steak it out 👌 works for me
Most people could do this just with a level and manage to get it within 10 mil
@RobertMiller-cd1xy yep 😒🧱👍🏽
Sorry but can you explain having a pig in the wall ??? Is it to do with the levels
It is 👌🏼🧱👍🏽
It's having one course running into a lower course
@bigears4014 🧱👍🏽
Wo ist denn die Sperrschicht gegen Feuchtigkeit zwischen dem Fundament und den Betonblöcken?
At Dpc level
Y el video de la excavación no lo pones? Saludos
No, we didn't do it 🧱👍🏽

When it was 590 did u say gauge was 510 coz surely its 525/600 so was just a 10 mil grind in that corner
No it wasn’t that easy at all
Have you not had your hip sorted yet?
Nope 😒🧱👍🏽
Happy days , foundation sorted and mixer fixed.😊
Absolutely 😁🧱👍🏽
Where are you based ? And how far do your travel for your jobs ?
We are near Wigan .
Not far while I’m waiting for my hip operation 🧱👍🏽

If there so out of level I hope there are deeping enough

As self employed for some 30 years would always want half up front. Then you are working on their money not yours.

Taken years of my life footings like that, just stresses me out no need for it 🤦♂️
Absolutely Andy would destroying 😞🧱👍🏽

Yeah Mike we never met them as this was a Robbie’s job so they organised it .
Cost us a solid extra half day 😒😩🧱👍🏽

Agree with you, but I suppose its more expense and hassle .
@46joe . Not everyone has a spare £15 k under the mattress 😒🧱👍🏽
His first wife might be buried under the foundations
@geomac49 🤫
Think I would have packed up and fked off!

Bloody awful job they made of those footings, I wonder what the slab will be like ... Nicely overcome though.
Shite mate 😒.
The slab was spot on because they had our brickwork to follow 😌🫡🧱👍🏽
Wow someone needs to learn how to use a tape and level 😮

Hope you’re getting paid for your extra work
