DIY porch foundations - We are building an OPEN PORCH - Adding curb appeal to our bungalow
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Welcome back to the Jenkins KZread channel!
In today's exciting episode, we're diving into the first steps of creating our dream porch at the front of the property.
🔨 What's Happening Today:
We're starting by digging down 600mm from the Damp Proof Course (DPC) to ensure a solid foundation.
Next, we pour a robust concrete base to provide a sturdy platform for our porch.
Finally, we begin the brickwork using high-quality engineering bricks for durability and style.
Join us as we transform the front of our home, sharing tips, tricks, and insights along the way. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe to follow our journey and get inspired for your own home improvement projects!

What our channel is about:
We bought this semi-detached bungalow in August 2022 and given ourselves 3years to flip the property and sell on. We have a target budget of £70,000! Natasha is the editor and video maker, while Rhys is the builder (a carpenter by trade). We plan on doing 95% of the work ourselves to keep costs down.
This channel is for documenting our experiences - Good or Bad. This is our first time doing anything like this with full times jobs! Can we stick within our budget? Will the building inspector pass each stage? and the biggest question...will we still be married at the end of the project? Subscribe to find out...

Thank you mark, appreciate the kind words, we do get some rest from the build but we usually end up doing something related to the build, usually window shopping for bathroom and kitchen bits 😂
Hope you decide to restore & keep the internal glass partition with what looks like the original rippled glass. Not many of these are left now, they add a nice bit of period character but still go well with new decoration - and they're great when you have to talk to people on the doorstep on a cold day without letting the winter wind in. Just discovered your channel, time to binge-watch.

Sadly we are getting rid of the internal Partition, from the timber and install method I believe this to be installed 80s/90s as were the timber windows replaced around this time. And glad you’ve found us, hopefully you enjoy our journey 👍
Hi both Hope the utilities don’t hold you up , interesting that you reinstalled the threshold brickwork . As against just concreting to the existing oversight in the hallway, but I suppose planning would have had some input . Will look forward to the next stage of this part of the project , a lot of useful information you are generating for anyone planning a similar conversion . 😊

Utilities have been a bit of a night mate so a slight change of plan, but we are still pushing on 👍 that’s one reason we started the KZread as we spent ages watching similar KZreadrs before buying our renovation project
