WHOPPING 3 METRE CONCRETE LINTEL !!...WE NEED HELP 😬🥵 

It makes a change Lads, You got 3 out of 3. No rain, No hassle and an early dart.. Top job as usual

We always put weep vents in but only in brickwork, never in render. Bloody heavy those conc lintols.!! Good job fellas.!👍

Keep them coming, 👍🍺🧱

Well guys that went well for a change 👍 Early finish unheard of 😁 Good strong lintel that tidy job. 👍👍👍

The weep vents remove the accumulation of water that can occur through condensation in the cavity… they are not for water ingress from outside. 👍🏻😎

Lintel Bearing 150mm bearing required when lintel span is less than 1.5m; 200mm required where lintel span is

I guess the key issue is whether the render does in fact seal the wall, not just on initial installation but over the full life of the system. I bet the answer is that it does not stay waterproof. Done well, even if it isn't waterproof, it probably won't let in enough water for it to run anywhere in the brick. But we all know there will be some cases where the worst case scenario happens even with the best construction, and more often with bad construction. A larger question for me is the question of condensation within the wall system. Does the construction, and the climate, mean that there is condensation from air leakage within the wall cavity? If yes, where does the condensation escape to so it does not cause mold and damage? On another note, you guys need to find a hoisting system that you can attach to the strong boys and lift the lintels into place. No need to take the damage from lifting heavy, awkward loads anymore.

HinDteve & Alex. Finally caught up on the last two weeks episodes after being away. Great that this job went well. About time you had a good day let’s hope it continues. Have a good week. 👍

The lintel vortex 😂you know you both love em keep up the good work xx

Crowd fund “ALEX NEW PANTS”

Morning Steve & Alex, best thing you did was put a concrete lintel in. The renderer need to stop at the toe of the lintel with a bell cast angle, if they render all the way round to the window then a vent should be installed. So I would advise the render people of this, this is regulated and can be found in the relevant documents. Heavy lintel that bugger!

Magic stuff fella's

Like magic, it all went right! The gods were with you on that one fellas, great vid.

Another great video guy's

That was a Smart Bricky ( back in the day) he designed the brick's to bell Cast out 😂🤣😂 or Probably a Friday job finished by 10 off down to the Boozer

That time lapse sounds like Alex and the chipmunks. Cheers guys 😊

Another great job, early finish lads.job and knock 👊 Regards Russ..

Sat here twiddling my thumbs waiting for the video. 40 minutes to go...

👍👍

Like the hack to hold the glass temporally

With a decent cavity tray you don need weep vents. There was a block of flats in Blundell Sands, weep vents fitted correctly but the off shore wind was blowing water into the cavity causing damp

Hi Alex &Steve I really enjoyed watching your video guys nice job, keep up the very exact work like away the time guys too ❤👷‍♂️👌🧱👍

That looked seriously heavy and awkward buy as ever awesome job lads 👍💯

them are old windows with the beading on the out side better rid of them as many a burglar got in that way and grand job getting the lintel in,take care ,thanks for the video

Al, I was going to suggest you ask your Dad for a pay rise, as it looks like you're tearing the arse out of those workpants! But then, if you only work for half a day you can't really ask for more can you! 🤣😂🤣 Good job as always fellas, thanks again for the editing and uploads Steve.

👍💥👍

A tidy job again boys

Good lord Steve,sods law if any thing can go wrong it will, I dont think it was looking this time. Every thing went like clockwork enough hands made light work of that heavy lintel its a good job that Alex was there I think he did more than you old friend. Thanks for the video I enjoyed it. Please be careful of that hip of yours I know you have to make a loving but a busted hip will not help. Best regards as ever Ken

Great job - that hip looks constantly very painful - any news on getting it fixed? My wife got hers fixed (similar age I think) and she is 100% now - no pain at all and full movement and strength. Took just over 3 months from op to be fully functional.

Steve get Alex a pair of working pants no arse left in them ones he has on lol😂

Did you pack with slate? Was it ok to remove acrow's without mortar setting? Presumably the lions share weight of the house on a cavity wall is taken by the inner leaf?

You should try the dewalt 18v sds, goes through brick like butter.

HAHA. Get some new work pants Alex. 😂

Lintal needs replacing

All the milwaukee tools and the only thing you got to take beads out is a trowel really !!

I've never laid a brick 🧱 in my life but I'm sure I could do better than whoever built that house and layed those bricks. 24:00 Okay, I'm exaggerating but you know what I mean.
