Hi great video as always ! what I've found helpful on these types of jobs is clipping a couple of scaffolding tubes to the top section of the acrow through the opening to lift the steel onto one end at a time. Only really works when you have acrows both sides of the wall but give stable support for the steel till you manoeuvre into final position
Nice to see an rsj being installed properly and safely, this is the sort job you can't rush, I've done lots of these before and what I've learned over the years is never do this work for a joiner with a little mickey mouse business, they expect it finished before you've started it
You guys are absolutely brilliant. Incredible craftsmanship, very interesting, you do nice work. Just love your videos keep them coming. 👍🛠🏴 from Tom in Lancashire. Peace and god bless.
Watched my first video of you hated it don't know why probably cos I was watching my own trade!!!! The more video I watched I realised its because we take on similar jobs and you like me on most of your jobs are making decisions of your own bat everything I've seen you do is excellent you are a really good brickie and your son is a credit too you keep up the great work neil
Awesome, high quality job as always lads. Really enjoyed watching it, and the extra details you were kind enough to include for us. Learned a lot about what actually goes into one of these jobs, and what you need to look out for. Thanks for sharing it!! :)
Great job lads. I remember doing jobs like that in the early 80's with my mates. The RSJ was a quid a foot at Palmer's yard in Salford. Bet it's a lot more than that now.
Great vid lads. I can remember doing a job like this years ago, the steel was a lot bigger than this. We got it in but wasn't happy about the safety aspect about putting a big load on hop ups. Anyway, bit the bullet and bought a beam lifter. Best thing i bought. there not that expensive either. worth it lads. great video by the way.
Brilliant work love watching, shame we all can’t time lapse our jobs in real life. Get to the weekends quicker. Keep up the great coverage of your work 👍🏼👍🏼
Another great job lads, absolutely superb workmanship as usual. I've done a couple of these jobs (although not as long as that girder) and I must admit my heart was in my mouth when those blocks on the left hand side were wobbling! It probably looked worse on the timelapse but I couldn't wait to see it safely in its "final resting place" as you put it!🤣🤣🤣 Love the videos lads, Ialways look forward to my Steve and Alex fix, keep 'em coming!😁
I have seen it all trying to lift that steel up on concrete blocks you must be nuts if that steel fell you would of been put in hospital but you had your hard hats on what a pair of prats
Well done but it was a very tough job, I wished there was a jack or lifter; something to help you with RSJs Using the blocks idea was brilliant. It shows you didn't waste your time and learnt a lot of tricks of trade! :)
Good teamwork guys! 👷👷 Got a bit nervous when you balanced the steel on the 2 Jenga towers but you look like you've done it before. Looking FWD to the next vid! 💪😉
Hi guys great video and we’ll done on that graft lads .. just one question I was led to believe that Rsj goes directly on pad stone no mortar otherwise it defeat the object .. seems like they 2 schools of thought pls explain .. thanks you
@@SteveAndAlexBuild cheers for the quick reply 👍👍 wow thanks mate..’lol I take it all the methods clear building regs and just depends on the person . Cheers keep safe lads 👍😁❤️
Question, After U chip out the blocks, what tension do U apply to the Strong Boy's ( to take the weight from above, bearing load ?, Thanks in Advance for Reply 👍
@@georgeomalley6066 . Thanks George . You won’t get a mortar bed more tightly packed than that , a much better quicker and stronger job for sure . 👌🏼💪🏼🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild I've worked for a lot of 🐄'er💨(💩) Boy's (🤣), watched a Good few of your vid's, "❤️" The Content/Skill, Work Manship, You'll All ways get sMalL mINdeD Hater's, I've done worse, Not All Job's will pay a lift or extra men. 🖖 Enjoy your weekend, 🍺🍺🍺🍺
Done loads like that years ago no chance nowadays if can't get Genie lift on the job I don't get done, I know it that situation it won't get you to the top because the ceiling height will impede the Genie but it will get you near enough, nice job though well done 👌
Man that was dangerous! Genie lift would have made it so easy even if you couldn't get it tight to wall. I used to put steels in with my dad just like this though! 😂
If its not dusty and tberes no steel your not happy are you steve .you excel at these jobs .ive done loads over the years gets the heart pumping boys great job as always 👍🧱🧱
yer doing it text book ! good work , that i beam /rsj will more than suffice to withstand x2 the load , yet unless its a flimsy tin box with a logo , yer need to provide calculations , the greased world of corruption, 2 ff's in off for the 'council'
Out of interest, would you usually use a disc cutter instead of drilling pilot holes and chiselling blocks out or am I missing something? Love how you explain everything as you go guys keep up the good work
@Wavey Santos I think they used the pilot holes and chisel to reduce the dust that flys with the disc , I used this method when I was working on my kitchen little while back.
Wow chaps that steel on them blocks was class 😂👏👏. We have had to do that before 👍🏻. Ps f**k what that Gary Cooper says he hasn’t got a scooby clearly 👍🏻
The driver thoughtfully placed the skip so you could get the steels into the house. How many times does stuff get stacked in just the right place for maximum hassle?
I was wondering how you two were going to get that RSJ up into place and i didnt see the use of those blocks coming genious! Is it possible to use a block and tackle rope attached to the strong boys to winch it up??
Few scary looking moments there, one question when I was helping a brickie cut through for my extension and fitting concrete lintels he insisted on packing the top with cement and slate for when it shrunk when it went off. How come you didn't add any slate in? 👍
What are those hop ups gross weight? 165 kilo or something like that and you already have that in concrete blocks lol. Not knocking you though, sometimes you just have to get over things.
Do Yourself a favour and hire a strong boy next time its a device like a manual fork lift . it will save you a lot of lifting . hand crank up into position just need one of you to steady the beam. was watching those block somebody will end up with a sore one if they come down.
Got to say I don’t think those hop ups are rated to carry that type of weight ? Defo a accident waiting to happen I’ve seen hopups collapse with way less than that . Defo not good practice
Love the fact you guys are wearing hard hats whilst overloading step platforms and balancing a heaving steel on blocks 🤣 hire a genie lift next time guys before someone gets hurt. 👍
A genie needs a a flat level surface which if you actually take more we didn’t have . I bet if we didn’t wear the hard hats you would have been the first on to point it out .🙄
@@SteveAndAlexBuild you can’t get much flatter than the Floor you was working off…. More worried about ya feet than you banging your head.. the small genies reach out further than the feet so no problem using it with different floor heights. Would of been much safer and quicker… 👍
@@SteveAndAlexBuild use the arm extenders, the feet touch the wall and the arms extend another 400mm. I’ve got the small one that lifts 190kg had it years. Much safer. Struggled for years like you. There worth there weight in gold.
Wow so unprofessional absolutely no concern for health and saftey lifting a steel on blocks which are visibly wobbling, hope your keeping the horses well fed though.
