    transcript: Today I’m going to show you exactly how I remove this load bearing wall in this German brick house. 3.2 meters long of this cavity wall is to be removed. This will then connect the kitchen and the living room and also make space for a larger dining area. This is the side of the kitchen and this is the other side of the living room. The kitchen is a long, narrow room and the wall opening is intended to give it a more open feeling and provide more daylight. The double-sided wall with a cavity inside is to be supported with two steel beams. This is clear from the static calculations that were done by a professional, so the correct beams are ordered and delivered in advance. I ordered steel beams HEA-120 (S235). If you pay 20 dollars more, the steel beams are also already treated with rust protection. During this construction, the old kitchen still needs to be used, so I got a construction foil and a few battens. With these I create a separation to keep dust away from the kitchen throughout the construction phase. The ceiling is sheetrock, so simple chipboard screws can be used. It’s easier to use shorter battens and I put the screws in ahead of time, so that the screws don't fall out while I’m hanging it, and it's easier to tuck the foil under. It should also be as dust-proof as possible at the bottom. I tape the foil to the wall with a wide painter's tape. This junction box is located around the area where a steel beam will be installed later. I have had rather bad experiences with cable finders. I turn off the power and expose the cable to see where it runs in the wall and if I can relocate it. Now I draw the opening on the wall. I start drawing in the location of the new steel beams.

    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.

      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.

    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
      @CarlsImprovements  5 месяцев назад +1

      thank you, the wall is about 40cm, each beam was 12x12 cm, hope that helps and good luck

      Not sure how am I going to lift them lol

  • @nicespejo
    @nicespejo Год назад +2

    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

    • @idontgiveaship2575
      @idontgiveaship2575 Год назад +1

      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.

    • @CarlsImprovements
      @CarlsImprovements  10 месяцев назад

      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

    • @idontgiveaship2575
      @idontgiveaship2575 8 месяцев назад +1

      ​@@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
