It makes a change Lads, You got 3 out of 3. No rain, No hassle and an early dart.. Top job as usual
😆🤙🏾🧱👍🏽
Well guys that went well for a change 👍 Early finish unheard of 😁 Good strong lintel that tidy job. 👍👍👍
😌😌🥳🧱👍🏽
We always put weep vents in but only in brickwork, never in render. Bloody heavy those conc lintols.!! Good job fellas.!👍
Sounds good to me 🤙🏾🧱👍🏽
The weep vents remove the accumulation of water that can occur through condensation in the cavity… they are not for water ingress from outside. 👍🏻😎

Lintel Bearing 150mm bearing required when lintel span is less than 1.5m; 200mm required where lintel span is

Hi Alex &Steve I really enjoyed watching your video guys nice job, keep up the very exact work like away the time guys too ❤👷♂️👌🧱👍
Thanks so much 🙏🏽🧱👍🏽
Magic stuff fella's
Ta John 🧱👍🏽
The lintel vortex 😂you know you both love em keep up the good work xx
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🧱👍🏽
I guess the key issue is whether the render does in fact seal the wall, not just on initial installation but over the full life of the system. I bet the answer is that it does not stay waterproof. Done well, even if it isn't waterproof, it probably won't let in enough water for it to run anywhere in the brick. But we all know there will be some cases where the worst case scenario happens even with the best construction, and more often with bad construction. A larger question for me is the question of condensation within the wall system. Does the construction, and the climate, mean that there is condensation from air leakage within the wall cavity? If yes, where does the condensation escape to so it does not cause mold and damage? On another note, you guys need to find a hoisting system that you can attach to the strong boys and lift the lintels into place. No need to take the damage from lifting heavy, awkward loads anymore.

Like magic, it all went right! The gods were with you on that one fellas, great vid.
😃🧱👍🏽
Another great video guy's
😁🧱👍🏽
Another great job, early finish lads.job and knock 👊 Regards Russ..
Cheers Russ a rare one 🧱👍🏽
HinDteve & Alex. Finally caught up on the last two weeks episodes after being away. Great that this job went well. About time you had a good day let’s hope it continues. Have a good week. 👍
Welcome back pal yeah a very rare eay day 🥳🥳🧱👍🏽
Morning Steve & Alex, best thing you did was put a concrete lintel in. The renderer need to stop at the toe of the lintel with a bell cast angle, if they render all the way round to the window then a vent should be installed. So I would advise the render people of this, this is regulated and can be found in the relevant documents. Heavy lintel that bugger!
Nice one pal .. as I thought 🤙🏾🤙🏾🧱👍🏽
Like the hack to hold the glass temporally
🤙🏾👍🏽🧱
That was a Smart Bricky ( back in the day) he designed the brick's to bell Cast out 😂🤣😂 or Probably a Friday job finished by 10 off down to the Boozer
😆😆🧱👍🏽
That looked seriously heavy and awkward buy as ever awesome job lads 👍💯
It certainly was Justin 😤🥵🥵🧱👍🏽
Sat here twiddling my thumbs waiting for the video. 40 minutes to go...
😆😆🙌🏽🧱👍🏽
With a decent cavity tray you don need weep vents. There was a block of flats in Blundell Sands, weep vents fitted correctly but the off shore wind was blowing water into the cavity causing damp
Totally with you on that one Glynne , cheers 🧱👍🏽
Anyone ever seen water running out of a weep hole coz I haven't 🤔
Nope 🤨🧐🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild The issue is that that the weep vents are above the sealed bottom of the cavity. I agree that water penetrates the outer skin and if built properly the water runs down the inside of the outer skin, great. So the current rules are that the cavity is full of insulation, the weep vents are above the cavity bottom. So lets think about that, there is a well at the bottom of the cavity wall where water can collect. Normally with air movement as the building heats and the water vapourises but theres no movement of air to get rid of the water and the weep vents are 4 courses at least above the water well.... bring me a local inspector and well have a chat. ... Yeah Im a nerd, but I design and build the largest structures on earth
@glynnepritchard2526 😉🧱👍🏽
That time lapse sounds like Alex and the chipmunks. Cheers guys 😊
😆😆🧱👍🏽
them are old windows with the beading on the out side better rid of them as many a burglar got in that way and grand job getting the lintel in,take care ,thanks for the video
That window was never coming out without a big fight, it had been stuck in with some very sticky stuff 😩🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild 👍
@eddieMurphy11111 🧱👍🏽
A tidy job again boys
😁🧱👍🏽
Al, I was going to suggest you ask your Dad for a pay rise, as it looks like you're tearing the arse out of those workpants! But then, if you only work for half a day you can't really ask for more can you! 🤣😂🤣 Good job as always fellas, thanks again for the editing and uploads Steve.
Cheers Dave 🙏🏽🧱👍🏽
👍👍
🧱👍🏽
Good lord Steve,sods law if any thing can go wrong it will, I dont think it was looking this time. Every thing went like clockwork enough hands made light work of that heavy lintel its a good job that Alex was there I think he did more than you old friend. Thanks for the video I enjoyed it. Please be careful of that hip of yours I know you have to make a loving but a busted hip will not help. Best regards as ever Ken
Cheers Ken no op till 2025 😩
👍💥👍

You should try the dewalt 18v sds, goes through brick like butter.
Who is De Walt 🧐🤣
@Gippojr. Many years ago, I asked a tradesman in the building industry what he thought about the higher end, professional Black & Decker power tools. He largely rubbished them and said that De Walt were the best/mutts nuts/Rolls - Royce brand of power tools. Some years later I visited the B & D factory at Spennymoor, Co. Durham. A large scale re - organisation was under way in one of the production halls. I asked my contact what was going on and he said that the De Walt production line was being brought back from Italy. “That’s De Walt power tools your speaking of?” “Correct” my host said. “B & D own the brand”! Stay safe and well.
@@markmiwurdz2248 I wouldn’t say they’re the rolls Royce of power tools but the DeWalt 18v sds is way better then the milwaukee sds hammer drill
@Grippojr have you actually compared them ?
@@SteveAndAlexBuild I have unfortunately, tbh I only had the 5amp battery’s for both but the Milwaukee didn’t have the guts or the durability and that’s cost aside.
Great job - that hip looks constantly very painful - any news on getting it fixed? My wife got hers fixed (similar age I think) and she is 100% now - no pain at all and full movement and strength. Took just over 3 months from op to be fully functional.
No sign but could be next year now, sruggling to cope 😢🧱👍🏽
Did you pack with slate? Was it ok to remove acrow's without mortar setting? Presumably the lions share weight of the house on a cavity wall is taken by the inner leaf?
Yes it was packed with slate plus that brick work didn’t need props in as I was so solid 🧱👍🏽
Crowd fund “ALEX NEW PANTS”
🙌🏽🙌🏽🧱👍🏽
Steve get Alex a pair of working pants no arse left in them ones he has on lol😂
😌😆🧱
Lintal needs replacing
🧱👍🏽
HAHA. Get some new work pants Alex. 😂
😏🧱👍🏽
All the milwaukee tools and the only thing you got to take beads out is a trowel really !!
Go figure a Bricky using a trowel 🤯
Right tools for the job and all that. Could have used a driver and just take the sash out 😮
I've never laid a brick 🧱 in my life but I'm sure I could do better than whoever built that house and layed those bricks. 24:00 Okay, I'm exaggerating but you know what I mean.
We certainly do 🤢😬🧱👍🏽
