Preparing for steelwork - can you do it yourself? 

I'm going to show you
1. how to make the biggest possible Hole in the Wall for the biggest possible steel beam for this typical house extension,
2. how i supported the whole house using a simple propping system that costs next to nothing.
3. If you watched my series on how to build foundations, you’ll remember I emphasised that is about all preparation and understating the principles. It isn’t a particularly skilful thing that takes years of repetition to perfect. .
4. Install it methodically and prepare well , you're going to be able to do yourself in a confident manner.
