    Can the front of the canopy be changed if it has rotten away and would you have to support the roof of canopy to do so ? As mine has rotten and the easiest fix would be that if possible

      @@mervmervalot2296 As an Architect I can confirm that the steel is there to initially provide temporary support whilst the arch is formed and secondly as its an infill the arch will sag a little if put under full load thus creating horizontal settlement cracks. For this arch to perform on its own the whole wall would have to be rebuilt, putting the steel in is cheap and prevents possible serious results, this way the arch has only to support itself/

    • @foundationgood123
      @foundationgood123 Месяц назад

      The concrete is a C25 over site mix, it’s a standard slump and is water graded to that standard. The water you saw was rain water on the visqueen which was scooped off into the cavity as the flowing concrete pushed it upwards. If you look carefully you’ll see the worker with the red tamper dragging it into the cavity!

    Made my day with memories of building my house 40 odd years back. So refreshing to know that Flemish bond is still up there. Spoke to a young lad starting out and he has yet to do any work other than stretcher and bucket handle pointing. He had never heard of lime mortar which suprised me. Loved the nice touch of the camber arch over the window and a proper looking cill.

      They are an interlocking block and don’t have purp joints, the hole that’s being filled are the gaps used for the bricklayers hands in order to lift the blocks and helps to lay the heavy blocks!

    @kerrynball2734 Месяц назад

    I had to do one of these, and it's my first attempt at brick laying. Its going OK so far, but I've got a bad suspicion it's one of the more tricky things to try for a beginner. Because unlike if you were doing a wall, there's no string line to follow, and you're putting the next bricks right on top of the ones you just laid, and putting the 2nd brick on always wants to upset the first as you push the buttered side together.
