Wow, that's some builders merchants yard. Really neat foundation dig too. I just love your videos, they just get better and better; I never want them to end. Thanks for posting, I look forward to following this new build.

There is something satisfying about hand digging a trench.I was taught the correct way smooth bottom and plumb sides and folks may scoff but digging is a skill as the “ Skilled man can make it look easy “ just done a hand dig for an extension but the ground was looser and of course there was the inevitable ( cave in ) which is very boring and can cost up to a cube of concrete if it gets out of hand .I always dig a sump in a corner and have an electric pump handy . Good tidy work guys and looking forward to your forthcoming build vids 👍🧱💪☔️🙏🧱

@SteveAndAlexBuild 4 года назад

Martin . We were in Leigh on an old rugby pitch and every plot was piled and beamed . A guy pulls up in his conservatory van ready to start his dig ( those boys think they are deep if the trench comes above their ankles 😂😂) He said to Dave one of our drivers “What’s the ground like pal ? “ Dave calmly said which plot . The guy points and Dave says “They are all piled on ere pal , that one went down 33 metres “ . Dave told me he watched the colour drain out of the guys face 😧😳😂😂🧱👍🏼

Check with your building control officer, it I think you’ll find that they will accept video of the work now...they are all busy, and that’s what I did last time for drainage tests...and they were more than happy...I think it’s now accepted nationally to do this...provided the video shows everything they need to see...so knowing what’s required is needed...but it’s a real time saver...for both parties...👍🏻

Hiya boys, missed you last week 😃. What a cracking trench, you boys did work hard on that. Have to use a digger here as the majority of footings have to be around 1200mm and that would kill me by hand 😱. That breaker is doing well & looks like a good addition 👍. I did like Alex's new barrow, is that the new one from Belle ?? 😂😂 Hope you have a great week. Regards Tim

@stun9771 4 года назад

Watched a JCB years back doing an extension for a church hall...2.0m deep...then suddenly the bottom of the trench fell out to a depth of about 20.0m...mining subsidence...never seen a JCB driver abandon a cab so quickly...lol...ended up having to fill it with fly-ash and OPC mix, and put a structurally reinforced box in the lot...became an expensive job...!!
