How to get your substructure perfect 

In a country where practical skills are undervalued and dummed down compared to "management" positions, this job involving the technical ability to read a plan, set out work, measure, level, plumb and apply manual dexterity requires more ability than the vast majority of screen watchers could muster. Well done and good luck!

nice too see you taking your time and getting it bang on

You make it look easy!!

Charlie how do you stop getting gaps in blockwork?

Stortford fields, Bovis home’s development, lovely 🏡

Love your videos mate! I have a question. Do you think a single skin 100mm block dwarf wall (1 or 2 courses out of the ground, a couple below) to support a timber frame wall for a shed is doable or a bad idea? I know 140mm block is used for this usually but wondering if I can get away with 100mm. Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

I hope that was the dogs leg under the blanket that was moving? 🤭👍

I love your dog 🐕

When you’ve got the beams running across your blocks when your block sits on your outside beam what’s it sitting on ? Usually you have a 40mm split for the bedded block to sit on to give finish floor ?

Another great vid Charlie

I love them solid concrete blocks, no need to go gym afterwards. 😂

👍

Great job Charlie

They say dogs look like their owners 😂

There is no reason to pat the mortar with the back of the trowel b4 you pick up a trowel full😮

Attention too detail 👍

Love the UK climate Charlie. Few real hot days. So you don't have to spread, shit and get due to scorching hot weather. Get on fellow brickie.

Charlie your wall ties are upside down. The drip in the middle of the tie should form the letter W not the letter M. NHBC Regs . What a total crock of Shite . Crazy but true 🤣great video and your right to think who gives a Sh&t it’s a wall tie . 👍

Dont work hard and starve...eat mash and slash.

Charlie’s a Maestro… extremely knowledgeable. Another informative masterclass from this craftsman at the very top of his profession.

Eats a lot of mash for someone on low carb

Its important to get the measurements and dimensions right.
