WE THEN TAKE OUT THE BRICKWORK TO TAKE THE STEEL SEATING AND PADSTONE. NEXT THE STEEL IS INSTALLED A PROPPED WITH ACROWS. THE PADSTONES ARE THEN INSTALLED AND THE THE PROPS REMOVED....ENJOY

    As a structural engineer I totally agree with you Steve, the steel should sit direct onto the padstone without mortar. Great video - I was very relieved when you finally propped the wall 😂

    Another top video and of course most of this type of work is the cleaning up and it’s amazing how much crap is generated! I noted a few comments regarding pulling the last two acrows out prior to full setting of the mortar ! I always have a half bag of rapid set cement knocking about and would use it or mix a bit with the normal cement on situations like this ( have to be sharp though ) as it goes off before you can get on the steps with it lol😂🤫Besides the learning curve with your new camera 🎥 equipment you now have grown in confidence whilst explaining the various stages of the build which is commendable 💪👏👍

    Thanks guys for this. Quick question, was this one where the wall continued all the way upsatirs, I assume it was? My understanding was you needed to use strongboys to needle above the height of the steel (i.e. above ceiling height). Or does that depend on whether the wall has perpendicular joists resting on it?

    2ft wall i m keeping as it as, as i m making a kitchen on the other part of the partition.
    So if i ll keep a 9 inches wall on the left side of the wall and 2ft on the right side of the wall, the remaining space left is 7.3inches i guess.

    Really helpful video, thank you! Can I ask what your mortar mix is for bedding the padstones? Everyone has such different opinions online - from 2:1 to 3:1 dry mix, and even 6:1:1 mix, and from sharp sand to building sand.

    I don’t really get the purpose of the padstone in this case, couldn’t the beam itself pad the load onto the bricks same way as the padstone does, the beam has quite a large contact surface at the ends.
