you're probably right but it worked well this way

Lucky guys.

​@@CarlsImprovements hahahaha..what a bad answer..

glad to hear the video helped you, you're welcome

thank you very much, muy amable, gracias por subscription 👍🤗

Welcome and thanks, hope your works goes well

You will have to get a "Statische Berechnung" from the Statiker, to make Sure you have the right size beam, especially If ITS a load bearing wall, good luck with your project

thank you

thank you

Exactly, he put some support in when hammering the bricks out and then he takes all the support away 😂. Didn't need to put back the supports afterwards, could also use a couple of wedges between the beam and brickwork. Actually that would be even better because wedges put some pre tension on the steel beam. But still: brave to take the supports away just after he made a big hole in the wall.

@@idontgiveaship2575 I've got a meter long walk I want to remove, taking external wall over, need to remove a steep and drop in a longer one, think I'll pay the experts for this one :)

the beams are there to have the wall not settle over time. if you do the opening without beams you will get big cracks above over time. usually for a very short time nothing happens. while chiseling i put the supports because of the vibration, i didnt want any bricks to get loose

​@@CarlsImprovementsthat's not how it works. A wall is under a certain load, linear load also called. when a linear load is interrupted the load will spread to the remaining sections of the wall. This settling is not always noticable but can't be reversed.(you could push back with screw jacks or hydraulics but most likely cause some damage elsewhere) When we do a job like this(usually bigger beams under 3 or 4 floors) we put the beam infront of the props before we start demolition so we can leave the props in place when we put the beam in.

you are right, i could have put new concrete corner stones, thank you

thank you, the wall is about 40cm, each beam was 12x12 cm, hope that helps and good luck

@CarlsImprovements Great, thank you again. I will need a lot of luck. My wall is 50 cm and installing 2 beams. Each 22cn x 22Cm. Not sure how am I going to lift them lol

1week

thank you very much, yes it took about a week but that was the first time i did this all by myself and that also included filming

Didn't look like a 2nd story did it. Worth asking a structural engineer to access for your project I would say

thank you

I wanted to have it more sturdy and like the rest of the wall

thank you, well It took me like a week or so but I also had to film everything and I was by myself. wetting the concrete helps it to complete the chemical hardening process. the old Walls where try and hold out the the moisture quickly.

i bought them from Great Britain: ebay.us/GAGkrW

i did it myself

the cost for the two beams were 300$ at that time but that depends on the price of steel, the rest was maybe another 150$, this does not include any tools, thank you and good luck with your project

@@CarlsImprovements sounds great ! You did an amazing work! Thank you

@@CarlsImprovements also if I may ask .. the project of the structural engineering team costs ?

maybe but both beams get theirs

thank you very much for your interst, this video was made in germany, thank you and have a good day

120 x 120 mm

probably half day

the whole process of couple days because I've never done it before but I also had to film
