If the footings bang on I would say you can tape it off that but wouldn’t hurt to do what you say brother

Pick up for show really no good for tools and stuff

@@CharlieCollison Yh thought that . Probably go for a custom crew cab then. I’ve got a lot of kit tbf with profiles and a lockbox so van will be better, just love pickups 😅

totally agree and pointing inside cavity is pointless , we seem to do alot of pointless stuff on site nowadays just cos it looks nice 🤷‍♂🤷‍♂

It you were building a house for yourself I bet you would joint the blocks regardless of where they are, footings or otherwise.

Very true rarely see blockwork jointed in Ireland full joint and brushed only ever jointed it in England when asked to but think it is pointless

Jointing block works show they are full! Pride of the job awards like it so house builders want it

@@leejackson1858 Better being brushed if being rendered only ever joint blockwork on face work or if in England but them thermalite shite in England need all the help they can get as proper rubbish 👍

A multiple choice test on a computer on general health and safety on sites: coshh, falling from height, mandatory PPE, fire extinguishers, ladder info, etc

You have got a good team there you are all in sync with each other

I agree. I would have to sweep and clean the footings off. Can't see how the blocks stick to a muddy footing but I suppose with tons of weight on it does it matter. As a site roofer I know hips and ridge would fail in days if bedded on a mucky surface.

@@smtsoftwaresolutions1966 Ridge tiles makes sense that needs to be clean. In the bottom of the trench it will have soil/hardcore on both(?) sides of the block when completed which will stop it moving. Have to be careful though with the JCB I guess. It just feels wrong though. A retaining wall might have a different requirement. I remember cleaning the top of the footings for that, and it repeatedly raining and getting covered in mud again 🤣

Considering sliders are small hamburgers no more than 5cm across and served in a bun I think he was well within his rights to reprimand you, imagine if everyone was allowed to drive with small patties typically served with pickles and onions on their feet instead of sturdy footwear!!

Bullshit mate, only illegal if you don't have control of the pedals. He has to prove you can't control the pedals, you don't have to prove you can.

yes

It’s so much more precise with the profiles. But corner building is easy enough in footings. Just take your time you’ll be fine

@@CharlieCollison thanks for the kind words pal. Il keep you posted as to how it goes

You'll be fine mate!☝️

Cost of living here is going through the roof

For brickys now plenty of jobs 240/day outside of the S East, even us humble labourers are getting 135 if we are decent, but as Charlie said cost of living is going up crazy fast.

I gotcha. Yea same over here tbh. We do a house in about 2 weeks and I probably make like 3500 a month after taxes so we do 1 house a month if we’re lucky and we’re talking like high end homes by high end builders. All stone and ariscraft. And winter takes forever cause we have to tarp our work area up. Like a huge tent. Make a ton more work n take five times longer for the same pay. N more cost from us paying for propane to heat it all day n night.

I’ve got another van coming. Got a VW crafter

@@CharlieCollison what I got mate, lovely !

@@CharlieCollison is she new out of the box, r u keeping the Ford t350 also?

@@andrewmorrissey8478 no 19 plate. Yea still keeping it mate good for work

@@CharlieCollison business is good so 💪👏, I’d say the crafter is better spec than Ford but im tempted by the Ford t350 TRAIL , real nice but expensive 💰

I’ve messaged the winner waiting for a reply
