    Hello Steve and Alex,
    Really enjoyed watching this build and this video in particular. One thing it has highlighted probably without you even realising. Is how hard Alex works. I have been in construction for 56yrs admittedly as a Plumber and we both know my job is easier than yours 😂.
    He never stops its hard enough labouring having to keep on top of the mix, keeping you set up with materials, tidying up and general organisation but every opportunity he is on the trowel laying bricks and blocks. He is getting fast as well. You must be a very proud dad. Watching you always reminds me of when I worked with my dad.
    Great job fellers.

      I’m so proud of Alex especially how he has stepped up to look after me since my health hit rock bottom .
      He just gets on with it never complaining. 🥹🥹😍👍🏽🧱

      Couldn't agree more. Al is a chip off his dad's block. Great skill, work ethic and a damn nice young man too. He may not be destined to be rich, but he will always be in work. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I would happily trust him to work on my home any day of the week in the knowledge that a good sound job will be done and I don't say that lightly as I don't trust many people these days. I've been sh..t on too many times.

    Best laid plans...... Love the comments regarding the 'Brick Tie-wires'. Any watchers who have not yet grasped the sarcasm need to get an injection of 'Britishness' - as only us Brits can be self-deprecating and sarcastic simultaneously! Thought you were going to bring the planes in to land with that floodlight - jeez that's some product! Steve, totally get your frustration - you want to get on with doing as good a job as you and Al normally do, and then all your good intentions are impacted by situations beyond your control - and that's the most frustrating part of it all - you can't control it. Only thing I could suggest is just go with the flow, you can only do what you can control. Spring and Summer is around the corner, things will get better! Thank you for the editing and the uploads Steve - keep safe!

      I`m not sure when we will reach peak - cavity - size. But it must be close now.!!!
      Cavities much bigger than 200mm cannot be viable financially to construct especially at scale....?

    Lovely job there fellas. I'm sure the loss of internal space, due to 6" cavity will be compensated for by the thermal performance of the structure saving them around 6% off their heating costs. Until utilities add another whopping 20%+ to their heating bills anyway. Remember all the money you saved by "upgrading" to energy efficient LED lighting? no me neither.
