 as you can see the scaffold location isn't really ideal for us. Every time we're trying to film something cool, it cocks up on us. So we're going to start stripping this off. Hello. We're here finally. We've been held upon this one a bit because other things have been happening on the job and it's Monday the 5th Feb 8 o'clock. Oh and that's Florida. The other company is doing the loft conversion and they've had the roof we've done at the front so while they've had that done they've had the scaffold up and as you can see the scaffold location isn't really ideal for us. It's supposed to come down Saturday so hopefully it's going to come down today. There's no one here yet. We spoke to the customer. This is our job. We're doing a porch coming out here across and back then first thing is take this wall out get rid of that. Once that's down we can take the floor up take the slab up take down take the whatever's in there whatever's under there won't be much of a slab it's like the rest of the houses on here take it down down take that bullnose out that should be enough then and then hopefully the scaffold will be gone we can get the brickwork round up to DPC then that'll give us to do the slab tomorrow that's the plan so we're relying on other people to do their bit and if they don't we've snookered. We've been waiting a while to do this one so hopefully it will crack on. So demolition day today and hopefully a bit of block work at least the block work on the inside but we'll see all our materials at the end of the driver and then so that's it. We're going to get the our Milwaukee breaker out and we're going to crack on so enjoy the show. Sorry I forgot it's another return job like I say our regulars will remember this one a little tiny extension a little job it's like a little utility room yeah nice little job that difficult to build because no door in it and we also did a steel inside the kitchen so it's our third job here always nice when you get us back to do work for people I've got a couple of bricks to patch up so yeah Carlton heathers the Carlton copy of the London heathers again massively better brick and we're using the same for the porch so yeah it's going to start knocking things down. It's a rough idea of how it's going and obviously customers says possibly cutting back up to here I think there's mentioned this but all that bit going to just so they've got maximum space because obviously they didn't have a lot of room to begin with here but it's it put up the the rendering to put up a bit of a fight but we're getting there. Can't take that out. No. We're opening that up. This has got to be this different to the house. Yeah. Can't just take that out. That's a little nose in. Yeah. There you go. Obviously we're being careful to make sure we don't fill up the skip because the work conversion people are still doing it. Well it's a nice solid wall at least. Yeah. He's doing his job. What was it? No. So we're on it because obviously we want the work to be done properly for the homeowner but if you're demolishing that work it's very helpful if it's been done poorly because you can take it out easier. Brick loads are never satisfied. We've got a bit stuck. Right. Break time over and I think did you mention that before break? I think you did. We briefly mentioned it. Yeah. But now we have a solid plan. Right. Obviously we've got the nib out but the nib is another nib. So obviously that goes back probably about 15 inches. So and this nib is different to the house. So we have two concrete lintels above there and to get rid of this obviously we're going to have to extend the lintels. So the customers just come back like luckily saying you're ringing up. A lot easier to explain in person than over the phone. So I've explained that to change this not to get rid of this we're going to have to change those. Can you just get a tape measure? Yeah. So we did explain he said right well there's no way they want this left in the porch because what's the point of that. So that's going and let me start again. Scaffold not going down today. There's nobody coming to work on the on the loft conversion today. So the scaffold is coming back tomorrow first thing to strip the scaffold. That means we can't build anything today. So that means we can't do the concrete floor tomorrow. So quite happy for us to do this. So change your plan is get rid of all this get the floor out get it ready for the get the height ready for the slab. Then tomorrow we'll come back and get these lintels done. The roof's getting changed so we can strip the roof so we can get above it to get our strong boys and acros in. And we're going to put concrete lintels in. Sorry if you've got a crack above it on the front of the house so that's going to help. So we have a plan and we have an extra day's work which is great. Not great for the customer but it's just one of those things you don't want that leaving in. It's best that we make it safe as well. Good in the long run for the customer. So there's a socket down there. Plugged it down there. Plugged into the utility room and it's an outside socket down there. Right to the bottom. Oh I see it now. They remember that now. So there you go. We have a new plan. So basically today is job and not get this slab out. We're going to use some of the rubble. Leave the full bricks and all the loose stuff we're going to use at the bottom there. And then just the poly is just blind because we've got a ton of sand. That's it. That's all the news. We have plans. Yes we have a plan. It's always nice to have a plan. So we know what we're doing tomorrow. And even if the weather's bad it's more or less something to cover. There's an update. The old chef's up. We've forgotten something. We've forgotten the bits for the big breaker. We don't often get to play the big breaker. So we get quite excited when we do get a chance to use it. And we've forgotten the bits. Even though it's a fake and a phony according to the commenters. You'd be surprised how many haters that thing gets saying how crap it is when you've never touched it. Never used it, don't know anything about it. And then one guy even said we were lying. We brought all our breakers. We brought our old breaker. Just in case we needed it. Because we obviously needed to get the whole slab up in the day. I honestly gave it five minutes and it was awful. The vibration on it is just unbelievable. Because it's just a cheap one. Everyone's got these cheap ones. About 150 quid from tool station. All kinds of places to sell it. And then leave that bit in mate. Yeah leave it in. You can get them anywhere. It's cheap I used to think. They were fantastic. But it's like the Milwaukee one. It's like bang bang bang bang bang bang bang. The cheap one. It's not as powerful. It's a lot noisier. And there's no vibration tamponing. But I'm going to show you these. Basically it's on a spring. And it's even more. It's even more pronounced on the big breaker. So we love it. We just wish we could use it. It's not practical to nip home and get the bits. Because it's only a thin slab. It's only three inch. So this thing's coping quite well with it. So that's it. We're just going to have to make a big list of things. We need to knock the bits tomorrow. We need quite a few bits tomorrow. We need the saws all for cutting the timber back. We need acros and these strong boys. We can come up with the lentils up on the way home tonight. And I wish I could do that. It's getting me strength up. So we've just got this like it. That was the other thing. You've got ceramic tiles. Onto adhesive. Onto quarry tiles. Onto a screed. Onto a DPM. So tiles. Adhesive. Quarry tiles. Screed. Onto a three inch slab. Basically onto crap. And you can see just by looking at its damp. You can smell it. So basically we're stripping everything out. Getting down a bit of our core. Sand blinding. And then the usual malarkey for a slab. Although it's a porch it doesn't come in the building regs. We'll be doing the slab and the brick work. To building regs. Well not the brick works. It's only got a thin cavity. The walls won't be. They'll just be as thin as possible. So make the most room. Make the most room. Obviously if anyone who doesn't know. If you don't have to do all the porch to building regs. If it is under three meter squared. Three point three meter squared. Beyond that then you get building regs. But that's why people go for smaller porters. Because they're not bound by building regs. So we're not breaking any laws. Or prohibition. Yeah we're not breaking any rules. That's how it is. And this one. The actual floor area will be bigger than three meters. But the actual projection from the building won't be. The bit we're extending it from the footprint of the building. So there you go. We just need this bloody scaffold out of the way. Yeah so let's crack on. Not only is there no damp course under here. Looks like wood shavings. Bits of timber. Just. Increase your annual strike with really poor concrete. And then that's what's underneath. And it always smells damp doesn't it. Yeah looks damp. You can see how damp it is too. And there's the original footprint of the building. That's the front of the house. So that's staying in. And we can get our halker over the top of that. Probably take those tiles off the up stand. I've just got these little bits to take out the corner there. And we're done. Tied up as best we can. And we're going to go shopping. Get a few bits we need. I want to do that cup or use of water suppression on that. Yeah it was messy enough wasn't it. Yeah do that tomorrow. Here's a nice little dinky battery for you. Alright thanks. Nice little 5 amp power to finish off hopefully. That's it, that's all got left. I could leave that in till we take that down. But I just thought I'd have it all done. Yeah so that's the underneath of the concrete. I'm tipping over to show how thick it is. That's it. Like 50mm. Looks like concrete with a screen on top of it. Yeah. Well I'm not sure. It's crap anyway. That's how thick it is. Looks like I said before. It's not good in general. But it's good for us because we're demolishing it. Yeah. Is it better for us? Yes. But yeah it's going to be so much better this porch. It's going to be brilliant. That's another thing. When people give signal why do you like doing this work? Putting better stuff in. Yeah improving things. We do a lot of that. I love it. Since I was little, the one thing that satisfies me the most is the Lego build. It's when you bond like a layer. It won't break then. I love it. Welcome to the water. As you can see we're two and a half forces below damp now. And there's the original house bricks. From the original foundation. I don't know where the front one is. We've got to build them up. So we're taking all down to that. We're going to reuse a load of this in this area at the bottom. The smaller stuff. Give it a good smash with the hammer. Then put a bit of a hard core over the top. A bit of sand and whack it all down. As we can get recycled at MOT so why not recycle it ourselves. It's all good stuff. You can see it's wet. It's not wet. It's damp. It really smells damp. You can see that's dry. You can see the difference. Oh yeah. It's like the other dentist. We've cut all the bad stuff out of the tooth. Now we're going to start building it back up with a nice new filling. We've piled the stuff up behind the skip because the skip belongs to the guys doing the lock inversion. So the customer said stick it there and check if it's okay to use the skip. So that's us done for now anyway. Yeah, that's pretty much it. We can't build anything until the scaffold's gone tomorrow. But we can carry on with this. We're going to strip the tiles off now and take off wherever we can. Never look what we're looking at. We're going to get Acro and Strongboy from this side and the same this side if we can get them in an angle. And then six before concrete lentil going back to there. And it's going to be 2.1 meter lentil but it's only spanning 1.8. So six before concrete lentil should be plenty. It's concrete lentils as is. But as Alex said, we're taking out rubbish and putting better stuff back in. So yeah, when else gets back off the phone we're going to have a tidy up, load the van up and go shopping and then load the van up for tomorrow. We're not expected early dark but we're governed by other people and we're afraid they're not here. So we're catching a bit. Technical issues aside, we've got the marking. Yeah, sure. I'll leave it to us. Every time we're trying to film something cool it cocks up on us. Obviously, I don't know if it's going to make the cut but when we were doing the tarmac for the wall the other day, the other day in our timeline, not you as a viewer timeline. We poured it with petrol. Wouldn't bloody light on fire. We've got a little multiverse amount that's going on here talking about all the different videos in one go. Can you reach a bit higher when we please, mate? I'll hold the level. You take the camera as well. Press hard because the lead gone. Up to this point, roof if you can and obviously we're going to have to come in. We've got to take a pocket out of that for the lentil. Yeah, same height. So let's take, go 150 and leave or whatever. Well, we can go up to there we need to because the brickwork would cover it. So there you go. This is coming out. Concrete lentils are going to come up across into this wall and one on the back is going to just sit on the inside skin because obviously it can't go right across. Well, I suppose it could but bridging the cavity then which we don't want. So we're going to start stripping this off. A bit safer for the customer getting out of the house for tonight. And then we're going to strip this and have a look, see what we've got. Get as much off as we can before we need to soar soar. So we just keep plodding along making a bit of progress. So we're going to use that tomorrow. Here we go. What the hell is that? Jesus Christ! Get a spade. It's the size of that. Let's go over and put it in a bed. Yeah. Put them on the dashboard of the van. Boris our mascot. We'll put them on a bit of fishing wire dangling from the roof of the van. You're proud of that contraption there. Yeah. Get this bit off. I could probably get them both from here. You sure? Yeah. But it was just a quick like hour You ready? Can you stop flipping them? That's quite a seat isn't it? That's one of the things about something. So obviously we're going to get some more and make it a bit more safe. There you go. So now it's a tripping trip. Excuse the wind. Feels like it's been windy since October. Here you go. Twenty to two. A long leisurely lunch. So. We're going to pack everything in. I wish you'd just nipped the toilet. Because we're going to head off to get our lintels now from the foods. And then we'll head back home and pack all the other stuff we need for tomorrow. We're going to bring our little scaffold to put in here. A little tower. It should be bedding the trestles. A couple of accros. Four acros, four strong boys. This thing. We need to strip back a bit more roof but in case it rains we've left that in. I'm going to go back to wherever the lintel finishes. As you can see there's not much seating on there. We're coming back. We're taking it out there. So. Another 150 on the front. Which is just behind the brick work. Obviously this is coming out from here. So that'll be tomorrow. Maybe it'll be the day after. I think we're not here Wednesday. We started last year. Just a bit of stone to level out. A couple of little snagging jobs. So I think we're back here tomorrow then Thursday. So tomorrow's going to be all about changing these lintels. That's it for day one. Well, day half. Obviously all this is going to be clear after we can build it up. But nothing we can do yet till this lot's gone. Oh yeah, all the roof's stripped back as well. That little wall plate bolted into the brick work above that's going to hold all. We might even put an extra couple of screws in just to hold the brick work. I think we're coming together nice. Oh yeah, we just need to measure the floor area as well for our insulation. So I'll get a few different measurements anyway. So we might see it burst. We might see it forwards. We might see it tomorrow. We're doing the ultra from home. I forgot to do it at work. So let me get to my black space. Yeah, so whatever job this was, I have no idea. But there it was.
