What pain, but it's now done well done boys. At 77 years old I wish I could still do it, it looks fantastic. Please could we have some more of your work.
Approximately 70kg each for those drainage channels. Top man Alex!! I know many a gym freak that would complain of some sudden recurring injury when it comes to a bit of hard graft, let alone lifting those channels. Great video again chaps👍👍👍👍.
Absolutely top job and great to also see it finished with the roof on to understand the complete design. Liked the sleeper edging which complements the concrete path nicely. For the MOT I always kept an American pointy shovel which works nicely and saves the back. Look forward to the next one.
Nice job boys, I have a tip for the asphalt open the bags and take out the plastic in situ then light it with a blow torch for 5-10 mins put it out with water then it spreads lovely and walks superbly
When your bag asphalt is like that, throw it in a wheelbarrow, stab it and mix with the end of a shovel and add some kerosene to help soften it up. Once it's down and in place, set fire to it to heat it and soften it.
One helluva job finally finished you two - and to your usual high standards. What a result from a really tough build site, congratulations guys! Hope you are doing OK Alex? Thanks for the uploads, again.
Fantastic work you two. You certainly put in the hours despite mobility problems. Thanks for the bit at the end to show it nearer completion. Take care chaps
I’ve looked at the comments on here and find some of them staggeringly negative. We were taught to lift each other up in all trades as it’s hard enough. We do concreting work every day and am impressed by your tenacity as it can be testing. Great to see your teaching the youngin that most work must be done by yourselves as profit margins are sometimes low and sub contracting can be expensive. Thought the concreting was done well on your own (with steps!). You’ve already achieved a day joint after day 1 of concreting and the expansion joints can be cut in the day after, so no problems there. Warms my heart to see good youngins coming through. Keep up the good work brother. All the best.
Seeing all that concrete, and just you, I expected things to go south. On the timelapse you could watch the concrete getting harder and harder to work. I expected water to be added and some point, and lo an behold there it was. Fortunately, jjst a sidewalk, so no big problems. A ton of really hard work, Steve. Well done.
i must say when you first showed the yard it didnt look big enough ,,but now it looks superb n them sleepers just finish it perfect only slight blip is where you relaid them flags n its just holding a bit of water
Great work Steve and Alex, well done on all your videos to date. I Hope Alex gets things sorted on the medical front. 🍻 I look forward to your videos. Si
you have obviously upset some body with the police car outside but what ever you have done a fantastic job and i bet you two will be glad to get home and have a nice cup of tea ,thanks for the video
Another good job on a tight plot. Hard work if you’re 20 never mind a year or 2 older, ignore the shitty comments you do very well trying to do multiple tasks and earn a crust.
That was hard graft. I bet you appreciate the drainage guys a bit more now. At the start when your hand was green I thought you were turning into the incredible hulk. I was surprised by the end you hadn't gone into full Hulk mode.....although in the high Vis you sort of looked the part. Well done for sticking with it. The steps were an amazing bit of improv. 👍
On to the next one lads bet that knackered you Steve .I stopped the weekend work unless it pays me very well now.Have to look after yourself manage that hip ive had to do the same .Epic effort on that lads i felt your pain . Take care of yourself Steve doing this job its a killer sometimes. Great channel get florida booked boys 👍👌💯
@Bricklaying With Steve and Alex We say that then we crumble and book the holiday every time 🤣🤣🤣 Gardens cost a lot of money 💰 look after yourself steve.I put my customers first for years you dont get any thanks just burn yourself out for nothing. Steve and Alex come first mate 👍
I've just had my second hip done, 1st one last year and second one last 2 weeks, although sore atm the 1st hip is now perfect and pain free, good luck 🙌🏻
What an awesome job, well done guys, loved watching your journey through this job. I bet your customer is over the moon with the work you did. Where did that pesky cat come from 😁. Fantastic video 👍
Another job well done guys. & those steps are well made. Love the effect of the finish the owner had applied which makes them look even more awesome. Great job Owner ^5 sir. I would have considered placing a ramp to the right side of the house entrance for wheel chair access making it easier rather having to climb steps. Just a thought Guys. Don't chew my head off. & that cat sure does look cute. 😸 🖖👍
The garden is so big they can alway put a path in further round to the front to do away with a ramp altogether. 👌🏼. That cure cat would have had my size nine up it’s arse if I had caught it 😆😆🧱👍🏽
Top job lads what a transformation bet your hips giving you some jip Steve and Alex hope you are well hope your hospital visit was nothing serious look after yourselves lads and Steve that cold lay tarmac worst thing they ever invented ours was always machine laid but heard other gangs who used it chucking rake's and fork's shovels in a braiser and lighting it heating up tool's the old fashioned way but you'd have more luck with cold lay in the summer months more pliable.
I watch all ur videos, they r very interesting. Im sure u have worked on different types of houses. On a Victorian terrace outrigger at the back, how much of a minimum gap should b kept between an extension and the neighbours boundary wall..? I've been told it should b a metre but just want to make sure. Thanks
Thanks pal, sorry I don’t know anything about that kind of thing . I suggest you contact your local building control and they should be able to help . 🧱👍🏽
Screwfix has those ox levels on sale ATM, Are they any good? My magnusen ones bent so easily after hitting them. I know your not meant to but I live in the real world. Can you actually give then a few taps without denting them on top? Top job as always.
@@SteveAndAlexBuild I understand that but I would have told the client it is a must or they can leave it but risk issues down the line with water and uptight to the building and potentially damp. You get told what to do at the end of the day. One other thing, where do you source your work? Word of mouth? websites? Or deal with Architects? Cheers
Go to nearest tarmac plant and ask a fella to do for you and hel do on way home. That cold lay is hopeless at best . Be cheaper to get someone to do it than your effort as it’s crap gear
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Its not a dig. I'm a plasterer by trade, and if I put up a bricklaying video I would expect some feedback on anything I could improve, and I'm fine with that
slow down you two, seven days a week never did anyone any good, i decided 18 months ago not to work weekends, if the job runs over it runs over. look after your self lads.
