 A very pleasant morning of just demolition and then it was a after that where things went a bit south Right, you can't tell on this camera because it always looks lighter on the camera, but we're losing light I found these things in the box Just trying to work out what the four So in answers on a postcard if you know what these are for That's a good excuse for rendering if ever I saw one Happy Tuesday the 21st in November Currently nine degrees and it's meant to be warmer than average Don't know who they're trying to kid So new job, which is this This is all coming out Window going in there window going roughly here This is another Robbie job, so they've done the frames for us to just build them in So our task today is get the window out get the door out get this lot to doubt Get that a lot too doubt and then to doubt to about here because this is where the window is going She's gonna put up to this brick work Right, happy news. Yeah, happy news today. That doesn't happen very often, but I'll give you the backstory first Robbie's job This is being converted this extension going to be a wc utility white goods area So there's gonna be window there window here We just spoke to the customer Harry nice fella He's just gone through everything with us We told him about the bricks and he said he was thinking he getting the place rendered For obvious reasons Let me just show you That's a good excuse for rendering if ever I saw one 65 mil brick into 73 with really bad To the yeah, but anyway, so he said I was thinking about rendering it so yesterday Yeah We take the uh, these are externally be just to pop the beads out from the outside Or is that you're taking off that that's just oh, I thought you're doing the trim Don't forget that right. Let's make this quick because we've talked too much yesterday I knew the brick match was going to be hard because the discontinued which is a Bane of our lives at the moment. So I settled on mull calls. So we went to brick brick store in Wigan See what they had and basically it was the mull calls Which are a bit more orange than this with the purple hearts where these are quite pale with the orange hearts But anyway, that's what we settled on and he said 65 or 73 So I thought shit I can't risk Picking the bricks up and being the wrong size So we have to drive from Wigan to here so um Got here Obviously the bricks right size that right sorted head down to Bersko to forwards Where we usually deal with which is a bit closer gets to fair woods. I should do any any mull calls. No, sorry, mate. None in stock So, um, he rings round The muggle none in stock up Holland none in stock So goes up the road to use gray nothing And they they checked about four or five branches local branches. Nothing the only place had them was Formby So the plan was get here this morning get unloaded leave Alex to do all this and I go off and get the bricks But luckily Harry the customer turns up and say he was thinking about rendering so said well Why don't you just do it in block because um, it's going to be cheaper And there's no point paying the extra for the brickwork When you're going to get it rendered anyway, so for the sake of it looking a bit ropey for a while Just do it in block so if he's doing blocks, so obviously we'll knock a bit off the price because it's going to be a lot less of the materials We're going to be here all day anyway, but um, we can knock the materials price off So that sorted so Plan now is get get it all out. No need to do any two of them. Which is going to save us a lot of time It's just screw ties now So um, I can stay a lot longer now wait for the school traffic to go down and once we're sorted I can go make the rest of the blocks So that's a relief because we thought we were going to in for a long one today working into the dark again So things have gone our way for a start and we haven't even started yet So we'll um Put this down with a time for a while where we get this out and then crack on It's a good job not keeping the glass. Good job not keeping any of it But um, we've been bamboozled by these little brackets That one's just the outsets popped out quite easy, but as I've been trying to get this one out He did some gloss yesterday Just the inside look that's all uh, fine. Is that the outside pane? No, is it? No, I think that's the outside pane Anyway, these things Because the obviously it's out externally bearded to stop people just popping the windows out. They have special screws in which We haven't got an angular. Yeah So we haven't got that. We haven't got them So, um, we're just trying to We haven't got the multi tool or the smith little ground. I suppose would have come in handy So we're just trying to do it like caveman As bricklayers do Do you want to nip home and grab some blocks and grab the multi tool grab grab them from appalland? Yeah Not when I can get in from muggle. Yeah, we'll just we'll just persevere and just try not to break anymore Yeah, that's it So that's another good thing about the block work is we don't have to try and match into that state of that pretty awful Let's give another quick closer for this And the customer also said this is single skin that was um Single brick work and he plastered straight onto the brick work. So there wasn't even waterproofed And everyone knows London brick are like sponges So just just really poor. So The best thing they can do do for this place is render it So anyway, let's carry on and get this thing out as best we can try to keep this in one piece Show you this first The top courses fell off loose would have took the windows windows fell off and then that fell off as well So it's getting bricked up anyway. So I've took it off. Okay, not just not the last little cavity out And then we can build a cross Excuse me. No, no installation the cavity. So we'll get someone as best we can And obviously we'll insulate where we're building This was our level but could you buy this blitz that went on top of it now That's pretty pretty much straight forward now the window again So I don't know how it's fixed. I don't even know it's fixed into the door frames no screws through there I'm thinking it's probably screwed back from the door frame. It's not moving on the sill. So maybe there's something And we haven't got a customer hasn't got the key for the door. So Alex brought the key There you go. That's got the key. So we're just going to destroy it basically doesn't want to keep it. So And before people say, oh, you should have taken out and sold it. Look at the state of the place. It's knackered It's externally reeded So rusty So we've been given permission to just um proceed with extreme prejudice So we're going to just chop it up basically Hold far away. Did you buy that noise? There's no there's no way Reinforcing that frame. I should be able to start coming out a bit easier Take let's take the mullions out first the whip mullions out Top and bottom Straight at the top here It's a metal blade isn't it? So just go through the mechanism and come in here. It's coming here Hey, just come around here. Yeah There's a hopper here There's a hopper here Old school hopper. I need to hold this one because it's still going to be attached But they still got the mechanism out of the window there, but it's a metal blade so far away That mechanism didn't break too much of a fight, did it? No Right, when you get down don't swing on that because it's going to be loose Where is take it? Right Yeah, go over that. That's a good weld isn't it? It's not even welded Oh my gosh It is reinforced This well This is a first for me. I've never seen this before I did this for 14 years I've never seen this before these just Lift that off. The mullions aren't welded They just uh Just lift it I've never seen that before. They're not welded. They're just slotted onto a bracket Anyone else seen that before? Crossed a good search for h2w to manufacture their own this was always these are always structurally welded Whereas this just We've cut through the bracket there at the top. They just pull off There's a little screw bracket there to hold them in Well, that's a shocker. That's a new one on me. Shall we chop the bottom there in the bottom there? We'll start. We'll take the bottom out. It goes right through the seal as well A bit more from the back Perfect same with that one go right through to the brick Be careful with the brick work there mate That's it Cool. So it's just reinforced It must be crappy stuff because of the way that went through it Right, I'll get your fault to be on that and pull it out. It should snap off at the well If not, you might as well just have to cut it and I'll give it a good toss Get in That's fun. There you go. That was You know how to shape. I wish the lintel's all right. Yeah. Lintel's ain't good, Nick The first thing that's any good Are they two screws holding the frames together? That put nothing No mechanical fixings holding the framing anywhere Again, what do you think of them? They're all sharp though Right, so oh, sorry three screws holding the frame together So we just need to get just watch you this frame now so we can get the door out Maybe chop it at the top, Al Yeah, yeah It doesn't like it's fixed at all, does it? Maybe fix it to the brickwork. All right, chop it at the bottom There you go. I told you it was the key. The door's open I wonder if that same looks like steel. I don't think it's aluminium If it was aluminium, we'd have it straight out of there Yeah Right I'll put him time. That's very good. But I think maybe we'll be able to lift the door off the hinges, which is sometimes can Yeah, that's been screwed that one out. Yeah We don't want to destroy this wall Well that She says the poor workmanship made our job really easy So we've got to get a closer bit back down here the damp course level and then As we always do cut the cavity out Don't break a door up without cut the cavity out because you've got a cold bridge and a chance to damp because it is quite damp in there Again, that's gone anyway and then this side I'm going to start on this side and then get this side cut out You need the cavity continuous because it's not a window or a door anymore. It's it's a wall So never leave the cavity like that just spend the extra half hour and get the cavity cut out And then we'll be able to shove some insulation through as well. Even though the rest isn't slated So, um, I might want to put a mask on while you're doing that So, yeah Again crack on get this get it all pressed And then once we get to into a good position Go ready to start holding it off and get the rest of the gear while I get some mix on it. It's a big relief We're not doing brickwork A really big relief because we don't have to do that now. That's going to save us a lot of time So we won't have to put the lights on later. Well, I hope we won't have to put the lights on later but yeah That that could have been a lot more awkward than it was 922 So I'm making good progress. Alex has took the tops off most of it Just needs to pop those nails out next. Yeah, that side's done All opened up And I've done this side and he's just finishing the one bit. I've just got the camera to show you that the uh, this bit's Cavities four Three courses with DPC So, uh, that's good, isn't it? So by just coming here, that's going to get all cleared out. So that's should have with the damp But it's all very wet this it's a good job. It's getting rendered It's a if you look above at the top there it stays flat. It's an ugly Looks like 70s races extension horribles. It's nice and square. It's follows the It's square across the front and it goes off on an angle and comes back on the back to grow all these Yeah, so the prep works nearly finished We can start getting the block chart to run and get making a bit of a progress forwards Which is good. Happy days. How are you doing? Well, we're getting there. Yes We don't put it in we take it out Yeah, so in we're nearly there We're gonna get in get everything tidied up and it's time for a quick break And then I think Will's giving us a ring from quick fix radio So we're gonna have to have a little drive out to get a signal somewhere Anyway catching bit We change the batteries. Yeah. Oh cool 98% right It's 11 o'clock. We've had a late break because We spent a ridiculous amount of time clearing out the shit out of this cavity We just get the light for cracking work like that There you go. Just a little bit left to take out there That top end there is solid. We can't get out to get it out. So We're gonna get this last bit out Get tidied up and then we can get some blocks loaded in there get the spot board set up I'm just gonna do the tidying up on the blocks while I get the mixing So last bit of fettling to do And then I know why we didn't finish that off because we had to call off Clive Holland for the fixed radios today So in talking about raving a brick works closing, which is a bit of a shame So, yeah Usual time lapse mixing. It's um 21st November and Clive again today talking about um, it's a bit less do so There's Alex is on the internal Look all the blocks loaded out I've marked the gauge on three times because I've cocked it up three times So I've given up So Alex is starting on the inside because he's just working off the block work Where I've got cuts to do over the brick work After I've been to McGull at the road to Fairwoods and get the rest of the blocks. I think we need 14 blocks It's a massive relief. It's clock and render now Good job we did. You've got them 200 bricks now, isn't it? Yeah Well, we've picked them up. We've been building it face work, but So Alex has got a damp down not ideal because Working It's just a slab So, um, we're just following what's there course of brick a damp course of brick another damp and then block work from there Not ideal, but you can't polish your turds, they say So, um Yeah, I've got the screw ties ready That gauge on that side is look this that's been redone that side. That's okay The other side we'll just follow us there And we've got a farm these things in the box I'm just trying to work out what before So, um answers on a postcard if you know what these are for But yeah, I'm going to stick you on time lapse to watch Alex and I'm going shopping Right, you can't tell on this camera because it always looks lighter on the camera, but we're losing light It's um three minutes to fall so Alex just got the last pieces in on this side So he's finished nothing there He's gonna leave that bit now and tied up inside when the light's gone out here because he's got lights inside So he's going to come out here and help you tie it around here I've just got the last pillar and a little bit to go in there All the cuts are done ready to go in except for the top ones, which are 140 cut I think So they're my last cuts to do so I'm going to do them last minute Just before I can't see anymore So I need to get this mixture tipped out get some water in it And then just start gathering stuff together especially tools because this is when you start losing tools that packing up in the dark So I'll stick it back over on the shore While we get this last bit finished and we'll go for the home run the home set I feel like I'm being interrogated um It's about Just gone five I think Four past five You wouldn't think it feels like bloody midnight, but We've got it finished That's the main thing if that was bricks There was no way in hell But um Only thing is we've ran out of insulation, so we'll come back with some more of that And we'll just drop some off for the customer to pop in or Robbie or they're putting the windows in I can't even see you over there Where are you? There you are There you go. That's two windows fitted Two windows fitted after a very pleasant morning of just demolition And then it was um after that where things went a bit south, but um There you go. The main thing is it's in on the same day So that'll be the end of this nice little day job. Thank you all very much Because we're working around crap working in Trying to make wall straight when nothing's straight and you just go and work to what you've got And then at the top you can see where we're quality two block short So you just go do with that But that'll be the end of this then so Thank you all very much for watching if you enjoyed Make sure to give us a thumbs up and if you're new to the channel You want to see more hit subscribe and tap on that bell.
