I agree with some of the other comments, the rebar is just an accident waiting to happen. They defo need to sharpen up on their health and safety practices. But they still produce some of the best workmanship on RU-vid. A good quality company.
Don't put the rebar in till you finish drilling holes cos if the drill breaks you gona look f***** stupid with a length of rebar sticking out of your eyeball.
Thoroughly enjoyed that one ! All that for a poxy bloody tree 😳! Poor Will couldn’t be any further from the roof down that massive hole and has anyone ever seen a lead pipe on a straight line 😳🤣. Finally massive congratulations to you John for your award 🥇🧱👍🏼
Tidy job but that shoring is gonna do absolutely nothing if it collapses, as soon as what ever your propes are pushing on goes loose it'll all fall down, plus you've literally got 1 scaffold board each side, may as well of just not done it and had the extra space 🤣
why would the footing need to be so deep! it is only a lightly loaded structure. That clay would provide a bearing capacity of at least 70kPa for a strip footing, which would be more than sufficient for the both SLS and ULS load combinations
Great work & tidy. Ground workers are so under appreciated. Wouldn’t be filming with that shoring, you need proper trench sheets. You’ll be strung up if you have a trench collapse on someone.
I am guessing all these tools and machinery are mud resistant? And I'm also guessing, they some regular/cleaning, maybe a hosing down every end of day? No? Yes?
Great Vid and top work, one small bit of advice i would have used a 1 ton dumper, holds more load, better fuel consumption, quicker and so much more robust than the mini track dumpers
In general all foundations in the UK have to be normally 1m deep but, it also depends on the soil type your building is going to bear on! One reason foundations ars deep is to take into account further development as in eventually placing a second storey on the house and even a loft conversion!
