Thanks 👍

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the comment

😜

Thanks Izz, we all learn and get inspired by each other. I have seen things in your vids that have inspired me too. Keep up the amazing work you’ve been putting our there to😀 Have a restful day matey you deserve😎

@@foundationgood123 that's what it's all about mate! Definitely learnt more in the last 2 years watching other people on RU-vid like yourself, than I ever did in 5 years coming up! Just finishing off a video currently 😂 having tomorrow off to unwind a little too 💪

@@IzzytheBricky Yes that’s true for me too. Look forward to your next bid bro 😎 Have great fest up👏

Thanks Justin, much appreciated. Yes its hard graft and messy….Also the cost!!! Act thousands of points goes into it and only 3 courses of bricks are seen above ground. Makes me wonder what they’d do if they hadn’t got any gadgets, my grandson wants a rotary laser so I’ll see🤔 You been busy Justin in the heat! ☀️

@@foundationgood123 I no mate so much goes into below ground for only a few courses to be seen so much effort working out and graft goes in and spot on so much money aswell people dont realise it. Anyway i think we should treat ourselves to laser level we are both over due arnt we but old habits work just as well .we cut our days short in the heat finishing around 3 or before was to bloody hot 🔥 for hard work wasn't it. 🧱🧱👊

@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping give me a level, a tape and a string line and I’m happy👍

@@foundationgood123 I no Chris im the same i dont like change but i do force myself to move with the times .ive still not got a laser though ive no idea which one or how much they cost .i still always go to my dumpy if im transfering levels a distance had it years never let me down and no battery required its environmentally friendly aswell 🤣🤣🤣

@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping Hahaha nice and old school, aye👍

Pyramids come to mind😜

@@foundationgood123 Weren't they built by Aliens? lol

Thanks!

Than you bro👍

some put weeping vents in but with there being a cavity tray it won’t have much moisture build up but if moisture build its chamfered down and will seep away, vents keep the moisture down too!

@@foundationgood123 thanks

Hi, thanks for watching and your good comments. Yes you’re correct, put the a little higher than the 2” and compact it to 2”.

Thank you👍….yes we did out of spare tile battens they can also be used in so may other ways too😊

Yes definitely

@@foundationgood123 thank you Chris, always learning things from your videos, I really appreciate your time to reply.🙂

Below DPC 3 sand 1 cement and semi engineering brick/concrete and 7 Newton blocks = strength👍

Cheers concrete art, yes that’s what is already in the existing building, however the clients want a solid floor construction !

Thanks Bud, I did them 500mm Bud

@@foundationgood123 seems like your down in the trenches, long way up to DPC

@@Bud-vd2xd The original house foundations weren’t a metre deep, I thought it was a raft when I exposed them but came to the conclusion that was how deep they went in the early 60’s. I graded down far to too much and that’s possibly why they seem far down!

Hi thanks for watching my channel. As far as I am aware that sounds ok. The last one I did we used 100mm (4”) floor insulation on visqueen and visqeen on top with a 25mm insulation up stand on outer walls

@@foundationgood123 thanks Chris. I've been watching your videos for a while along with several other builders. Always find them interesting and very informative. Thanks for the confirmation on the floor. It sounded right to me though several building reg sites are contradictory. I've seen 25mm upstand and 50mm upstand. Plus 100mm and 150mm under a concrete base. Thanks again and keep the videos coming

Thank you👍…Yes there is part 3 called (Extension tutorial 3, drains, bricking up from DPC:laser level:Tips)

@@foundationgood123 ok brilliant thanks I'll go have a look at that video too 👍🏻 I have a old 1930s style semi detached house with the black paint trim round the bottom of the brickwork and the small brick sized air vents at various points round the perimeter, the front garden vent is just above the grass level, would that be the same limit that you would want to lay gravel or block paving to avoid damp problems? Thanks for your time 👍🏻

Concrete prices have gone up, so I paid myself to build up instead of giving it to the concrete company LOL

@@foundationgood123 aha brilliant.. thanks for the reply and clearing that one up

Concrete has gone up in price, so I rather pay my self to build up than paying the concrete company, its as simple as that to be honest.

@@foundationgood123 thx v much for your reply. In your vast experience, is there any benefit of adding a waterproofer to the concrete footings to make them waterproof hence avoid damp..?

@@RS-ei3yt No not really as moisture is all around in the ground, when doing swimming pools, baptism tanks they generally envelope the foundation in Visqueen to stop rising moisture!! Hope that helps

I use the tape bro but I prefer to dry lay them out. these bricks were imperial size to match the house! I have a tape with metric measurements bug still dry lay🤔

Not on spec, so not needed!
