 It's now up to slab level. Well, this green duck will take up absolutely spot on There you go. As we can see Get on the cold bridge and stripping I'll get the van back, get a mix in. Got all our gear now. I just took a bag of cement off the animal Went off balance, but it's fine as long as the bags haven't burst. So there you go Close but no cigar Couldn't quite get it in but It's on stout. It's a it's all loose. So that makes it a massive difference So any spur will be going around the edges There's a few holes here as well So yeah a bit late than we'd hoped but it's just gonna be a big push now I'm gonna concentrate on front brickwork and all the internal block work So it's ready for concrete There he goes Great service Right, let's get this done Good Thursday morning, Thursday 19th of October Still no mics so apologies for the wind We've just had storm barbet pass over overnight So on barbet whatever Currently on its way to Scotland. I think we've got the worst of it now So we've got off pretty lightly Apart from everything getting soaking wet and all the frogs fill with water But obviously we're not using them yet, as long as you get a chance that they're all dried out So that's how we got to yesterday It's doing all the lovely face with it making a cracking job of it It was nice to actually do some running in straight brickwork again. Yeah Doesn't happen very often with all the fiddly jobs we do and I got the block way around so that's That's all set to the laser. That's where the door is obviously. I've put the blocks in Up to the hardcore level just to get the air where the doors a bit of strength Doesn't have to be cavity there because there is no cavity This cold bridging strip follows around into the which we've had an issue with on a job Yeah, the best good job we did the floor people come back and said them you've got to take that polish down out and fill it up with sand and cement so What's your opinion on that? That's the cold bridging strip Should they just go over it or should they just dig it all out and point it up? It's completely defeating the object to put the thing in It's there for a reason So I don't know what's happening with that one So yeah, that's nearly a tongue on him, which is not good So we've got all your all the little bits of warming up down loads of bits of concrete and bricks and stuff over there So that's going to get spread over and smashed up And then we'll get the clean hardcore over the top I think the rain stopped for the day and if it does clear up a bit better We're going to get this brick work finished. We've got a two course of the face brick on top of here And we've got the whole side to do on that side I'm not here tomorrow. We're off all weekend because Alex is at Comic Con at Liverpool and Back in they hopefully you can finish the prep and get the concrete in So back to the old time-ups. I think your own playlist is 10 past 9 Right, yeah, we're having an early break because we're through the first two tonne Thanks to Alex. I know it looks weird using tubs, but it's too far to throw it And it's not far enough for a wheelbarrow And it's high up so It's hard for Alex Because I'm just doing the spading But we're getting there bit by bit. We've put a layer in. Alex's gone round and whacked it off The trench part and now we're building up now We've got to come up roughly 20mm above that but that bottom bed of that block. So we've got 200 showing But no actually Slightly lower than that because we've got sand blinded to go in so that's good news So two down two to go We've ordered another tonne Stuart erm Ferd's at Berskoe He said it be this afternoon We're going to try and get it chucking on one of the wagons earlier if he can And we might just about get it to here because the wagon won't get on the On the verge today because it's so wet because we've had that much rain overnight so um Had a push we can always put it in the back of the van, but then we'll barrow in it then This this is ideal if we can get it here That's another thing if you're getting stone In bags if you've got somewhere The hard standing like this to put it on split the bags and put it loose Because then all you're doing So much easier Digging into a bag and then Get one of these like we were told to Think to put that 20 quid from berries for this and it saves your back no bending whatsoever Stuck up straight And it's it's not for digging. It's just purely for shoveling which comes Perfect and then Yeah, people don't like you slashing the bags, but it's all about your health and your back and your arms Not about a couple of bags that you've got loads of anyway So people who don't like the bags being slashed. We're sorry, but What do you do with them? It's not like they're of any use anymore I'm lost in the end. So anyway, we're gonna have a quick break And we'll get the other two two and a half to break Actually a bit Ah Second two Yeah, we're just dodging rains. There's no rush today. We're just phoning up today I think if you've not said already the plan we're going to do Is just get the stone in today because with it raining all weekend probably Just gonna get washed up Friday's forecast bad tomorrow So when we come back and it's dry, we can then blind it visqueen it and get it concreted in the afternoon Yeah, that's the plan. Get here early finish the prep get the concrete on late So right Get cracking this is turning to a bit of a fast this as you can see four tonne gone and we're nowhere near We're six inch off down there Probably about three inches off this end and then the big dip in the middle So, um, we had we had another tonne coming anyway So i've just rung up stewart fur wards and the wagons in the yard So he's going to try and get both both them on now so, um They're going to get delivered and and dropped here otherwise we'd have been picking them up picking one up in the van And then wheelbarrowing planks and it would have took us twice as long so stewart Fur wards at besco saving our ass again So we're going to be a lot closer now and we're still going to be shy on the stone, but we can make that up with the That we we ordered a full tonne of sort of building sand anyway So we can make it up with that and at an absolute push we can just put put the extra concrete in At the end of the day, we're going to hit that level whatever we whatever we do So, uh, weather's clearing up a bit hopefully so maybe get the brick working later, but we're still going to get this other two tonne yet So, um, we're probably going to get it dropped here because the wagon can't get onto the grass verge now because it's wet I think i've already said that If i've already said that i'll edit it out So yeah That it's full tonne That's unbelievable that but it's not a full tonne is it it's 17 3400 kilo so Three and a half tonne really isn't it because it's not it's not a full tonne in the bag That's the other thing if you get a grab wagon you get a full tonne So you pay a bit less and you get a full tonne These these bulk bags are not a tonne Just so you know Right Early dinner See you in a bit. The first line we can eat is our furthest wagon driver. He's the muggle driver He's just uh, he's tried on the grass but he's not having it so he's going to move on over onto the road So we're going to It's going to be hard We'll manage So Any minute it's going to be coming over there and we're going to get it cut Sorry about the wind again as i keep saying the mic's right off for repair So we just need to level this get it nice and flat Spend 10 minutes with the wacker on top of it and then We'll make it up with blinding We'll make it up with blinding or we might just put a slightly thicker slab in That's where we want to be With the stone so yeah just make it up with concrete Yeah, you just need to use your eye that and get it nice and flat now So yeah, as I say level it out wacker it and then See what we have from there I'll weigh up what what how much the concrete will be and how much should be to get more stone I love a little workout A battle plan Christmas come back and just uh fed us the power We've just nipped home grabbed a bit of stuff And now we're ready to get this brickwork finished I've got three courses left as I as I said So all their face work for me and I just need to get some face work over there for dad and bricks seem to have dried out A little bit There you go, and then I think You're just gonna get The setup for covering up these doors so when the concrete does come It's not going to splash all of the nice doors There you go, and time is three o'clock now. I think so we'll just Yeah, round up to three o'clock So let's get this done as quick as we can Shall we there you go after the Heavens so kindly opened up for us twice And everything got piss wet through We've uh We've done it It said it wasn't gonna rain and of course we get two awful spells Word drenched every single every single brick Is drenched There you go There's not much of rain for you every single brick and I had to take off All that part because it was just absolutely ruined So thanks weather up here if all the shit but uh On the plus side we've actually got the brickwork finished so now Monday it's just prep Box for three Yeah We'll need to pack the spazzle Pack the spazzle for the sand Yeah, dad's cut off all that so it's easier for access so we will catch you Monday Wait, hopefully it won't rain Right happy Monday the what? 23rd, yeah Uh We've been off since thursday, we went to um We had Friday off because we're still on bar bar bet We weren't too bad. We just got rained off all day Priced a load of jobs Little repair job priced four jobs. I think we've already got one of them ready to start So we're back on this job Concrete solder for three Yeah, I forgot the camera, but I am go i'm nipping off in a minute So I'll pick up the camera because we're not far Hmm I actually filmed it yesterday, so I'm going to see how that goes and put it up to anyone watches it It's not a bricklaying video, but it's what uh, what bricklayers do at the weekend or this bricklayer anyway Yeah, he's dressed as kala ren and it was excellent very very popular So yeah, um, Alex has nearly got through the sand now So we're going to level that off see where we're at As long as we've got a maximum 130 mil slab We're okay If it's any deeper we're going to have to pick up a few extra bags of sand just to just to bring it up a little bit But yeah, that's six ton in there It feels like it went nowhere Yeah, it's a stressful day that but um stew came through went down same and said thanks Might as to go as an extra two ton at very short notice So this is all wacky obviously it's been rained on all weekends. It's solid Because it's so deep the rain's gone right through it and Yeah We're going to get this in level it off I want to go from pick up a couple of boards up for the concrete lads to get across the grass verge between the road and the garden over there and Pick the camera up And then we can crack on we're getting this slab prepped And get it concreted at three o'clock or sooner. Hopefully I'm catching a bit This sand is absolutely soaked But the van was dry. Yeah, the van was bone dry and obviously this this stuff's been sat in storm Bar better. It's called all weekends. It's soaked Obviously the top it's a bit better, but the bottom is going to be absolutely solid Which is not ideal, but at least it's going to compact hard so project Update is it's just after 10 We've spinning up these boards So it can make a bit of a ramping for the lads of the concrete Not ideal, but better than bumping up and down and going through the mud so straight through So I actually going to top that up get it leveled out And I'm going to get that lot Cut up. Well, I'm going to start with the coal bridging strip, which is the top piece there And then I brought some spare stuff from the lock up, which is the carriage garage Which will be so this is all going on to here So I'm going to get it chopped up. So while I'm doing that, I'll just get that done Because we've lost a whole hour now, so We need to make that up. So we're going to do two separate jobs and try and pull things back a bit So I'll stick you on here and then We'll crack on there you go as we can see Getting the coal bridging strip in in the right place yes and um Our first cuts in dad did them while I was powering this hand in um Yeah, we'll get the rest of the coal bridging strip in And then we will have a quick dinner and get this blasted blasted in as quick as we can They do it half three So it gives us It gives us at least three hours Yeah, I'll get you get you're spaceful There you go. I'll set you back up and you can watch the uh There were the insulation the vacation process installation There you go insulation insulation At least he asked, most of them just steal it Right, this one he's lifting up You get this piece of insulation and then there's this piece of air So we're on 10 to two three hours a few hours. We've got a little over an hour a nice new door We don't want to get that covered in concrete and glass so we don't mess with the paint And then we're just nailing into the insulation rendering There you go I should protect that door from any splashes. If we can go up there, I'll be I'll be impressed more than anything But yeah, um That finished up this laid out and tipped off and cornered nicely and then we're ready for concrete. We're ready We'll viscined up or taped up absolutely Spot on just pulled up not sure what time it is times it out Is it all right cool? So they've got here real early. We're gonna get away but earlier so happy days So Let's get this two cubing What was once a Half finished barren wasteland of a foundation It's now up to slab level. I'd be lying if I said it was easy We've uh had a few moments. I've had quite a few moments where uh We felt like chucking some things but we got there in the end even despite that horrible rain spell the other day I managed to sort out those horrible stains that were left over with the acid But uh, yeah It looks good now. It's in obviously you saw it. It looked like at the beginning all flooded all green Um, none of this was none of this was a bit exposed So yeah, there's anything There's some garden and there's a slab now. There you go There you go Um From this point on we're not really sure what happens if we may do the rest of it We may not we'll have to see what the customer wants But um, that's just it.
