@@CarlsImprovements At 26:50 "so it's back to grouting again " . Would you please tell us which kind of grouting should be used above the STEEL BEAM? Many Thank, from France.
Any structural engineer would tell you to put the strong boys above the beam level to support the weight above. That wall is completely unsupported when you remove the props to install the beam.
Excelente he aprendido muchísimo!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Muchas gracias! Me encantó tu vídeo , hablas pausado y claro! Y demuestras en ellos que eres profesional y meticuloso! Me he suscripto porque TU LO VALES
Question, so you cut out the entire wall, no need to support the wall over , just chased it out and slotted the beam in, I'm no engineer but that seems like a lot of potential load from above with no support
Exactly, he put some support in when hammering the bricks out and then he takes all the support away 😂. Didn't need to put back the supports afterwards, could also use a couple of wedges between the beam and brickwork. Actually that would be even better because wedges put some pre tension on the steel beam. But still: brave to take the supports away just after he made a big hole in the wall.
@@idontgiveaship2575 I've got a meter long walk I want to remove, taking external wall over, need to remove a steep and drop in a longer one, think I'll pay the experts for this one :)
the beams are there to have the wall not settle over time. if you do the opening without beams you will get big cracks above over time. usually for a very short time nothing happens. while chiseling i put the supports because of the vibration, i didnt want any bricks to get loose
@@CarlsImprovementsthat's not how it works. A wall is under a certain load, linear load also called. when a linear load is interrupted the load will spread to the remaining sections of the wall. This settling is not always noticable but can't be reversed.(you could push back with screw jacks or hydraulics but most likely cause some damage elsewhere) When we do a job like this(usually bigger beams under 3 or 4 floors) we put the beam infront of the props before we start demolition so we can leave the props in place when we put the beam in.
the cost for the two beams were 300$ at that time but that depends on the price of steel, the rest was maybe another 150$, this does not include any tools, thank you and good luck with your project
Great job, just a couple of questions. 1) How wide was the thickness of the wall? 2) how wide were the steel beams? (I think the height was 12Cm, not sure about the width) Thanks
@CarlsImprovements Great, thank you again. I will need a lot of luck. My wall is 50 cm and installing 2 beams. Each 22cn x 22Cm. Not sure how am I going to lift them lol
Great video! Just out of curiosity, is there a second story? Is that why steel was required? I want to do a similar thing but am supporting a roof, so hoping to get away with concrete lintels.
You will have to get a "Statische Berechnung" from the Statiker, to make Sure you have the right size beam, especially If ITS a load bearing wall, good luck with your project
thank you, well It took me like a week or so but I also had to film everything and I was by myself. wetting the concrete helps it to complete the chemical hardening process. the old Walls where try and hold out the the moisture quickly.
Probably the riskiest job I have ever seen, you guys were "lucky" that the ceiling didn't fall on you when you removed the props to install the beam... personally, I would never attempt to do this whatsoever.
Very in depth video, thank you very much! It filled in some information gaps for me. :)
glad to hear the video helped you, you're welcome

Great Video!! Wonderful. Thanks for sharing!

you're probably right but it worked well this way
Lucky guys.
@@CarlsImprovements hahahaha..what a bad answer..

thank you very much, muy amable, gracias por subscription 👍🤗
That was a good video to watch for a DIY like my self
Super vídeo. Starting exactly the same job with 3.2m next week. Thank you for the full video/tutorial 😅🔝👍
Welcome and thanks, hope your works goes well
What is the beam size
Awesome work
thank you
Great, simply great! 👏
thank you
beautifully done, how long did it take from start to finish?
1week
thank you very much, yes it took about a week but that was the first time i did this all by myself and that also included filming

Are you standing on a white plastic chair?
Are the brick used to support the steel beam strong engineering brick as it looks like you used soft bricks that can crack and crush?
you are right, i could have put new concrete corner stones, thank you
Could you estimate the costs for this intervention?

@@CarlsImprovements sounds great ! You did an amazing work! Thank you
@@CarlsImprovements also if I may ask .. the project of the structural engineering team costs ?
Great job, just a couple of questions.
1) How wide was the thickness of the wall?
2) how wide were the steel beams? (I think the height was 12Cm, not sure about the width)
Thanks
thank you, the wall is about 40cm, each beam was 12x12 cm, hope that helps and good luck
@CarlsImprovements
Great, thank you again. I will need a lot of luck.

Not sure how am I going to lift them lol
in england you need to use concreat padstone tha woul not pass builing control inspection
you shoul be baned from doing any construction work and you are lucky whole building did not colapsed.
The pad stones seemed rather small?
maybe but both beams get theirs
Great video! Just out of curiosity, is there a second story? Is that why steel was required? I want to do a similar thing but am supporting a roof, so hoping to get away with concrete lintels.
Didn't look like a 2nd story did it. Worth asking a structural engineer to access for your project I would say
I have to the same on a house in Bamhoulder, Germany. How much will it cost to do this and does it require any permissions to do it?

Great work, where did you purchase your strong boy masonry supports? Are you in the US or what do you call them?
i bought them from Great Britain: ebay.us/GAGkrW
Very neat job 👏🏼 How long did it take in all? Also, what's the purpose of wetting the plaster as it's drying?
thank you, well It took me like a week or so but I also had to film everything and I was by myself. wetting the concrete helps it to complete the chemical hardening process. the old Walls where try and hold out the the moisture quickly.
Where can I get your information for a similar project in Florida??
thank you very much for your interst, this video was made in germany, thank you and have a good day
Superb work..done so smoothly..
thank you
What is size of beams which is u use this video??
120 x 120 mm
Probably the riskiest job I have ever seen, you guys were "lucky" that the ceiling didn't fall on you when you removed the props to install the beam... personally, I would never attempt to do this whatsoever.
Surely if there was a ring beam, you did not need to do all that work with introducing the steel beams!. The ring beam would act as a lintel
How many days did it take
probably half day
the whole process of couple days because I've never done it before but I also had to film
Was a professional engineer required to be hired to engineer this?
i did it myself
Totalmente. 🙈🙈🙈🙈
This guy hasn't discovered plasterboard yet?
I wanted to have it more sturdy and like the rest of the wall
