I've only done under pinning once. See if I can explain this well enough. Along the top of the ply, in the middle, that touches the old foundation, cut a 6" square out, as though you want to pur concrete into it. But create a ply box with an open top over that hole. As you fill the box up, it pours in behind the ply and upto the bottom of the foundation. When it's gone off, you just have a lump of concrete to break off where the box was. But it means you filled it all in one go.

The number of times i've had to get rid of bulging concrete due to poor fixing of shuttering. Always easy to chisel off the next day . Loving this series.. excellent work and superb explanation of each detail on the way.. well done..

Great channel chaps. Keep doing exactly what you’re doing. Learnt a load watching the different projects and it’s good to see people who like things done right.

In Australia, we put two layers of trench mesh reinforcing into the trenches, top and bottom. It consists of quite thick rebar. Similarly, we would put quite thick rebar into the underpinning wall. Different countries, different standards!

You're welcome Ad , love watching the videos . Keep it up son.

Really impressed with this build so far! Nice work fellas 👌🏻
-
Nice job, very satisfying work
-
Dry packing always better in my book as if you leave concrete down then any shrinkage in setting concrete is taken up by dry pack 75mm usually. Also we tend to drill concrete once poured and fix continuity bars T16 then your not catching your face etc on rebar , just my thoughts.

Down south , we say its bang-on... fantastic episode 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Cracking job in a mucky spot, gentlemen! Thanks for sharing all the details!
-
nice to see the underpinning process done. Living in a london town house foundations are kind of something they didn't do so interesting to know what i might need!
-
Loving this series. Even though the videos are 40 mins long, you pack them with such interesting content that I’m genuinely sad it’s over and excited for the next one. Hope the next vid is coming soon!

Top job lads.
-
Congratulations gentlemen : excellent work. My lord you, rather your customer, have been very fortunate with the ground. With this winter it may have been a swamp, bog unworkable nightmare.
