 it's been yucked out and because it's same it comes because it's got stay tuned to the end to see how we did that it's bloody cold is what it is good morning it says it's two degrees so we can work but it does not feel like two degrees as you can see by the frosty roads so it's the 17th of December today so it's the first warm day in like a week because obviously it's been like minus six the last few days but we're back at it after you died on 70% first shows how cold it is but i'll pass you up to dad and he'll give you the rundown of what's happening see if he catches this these will make some good bloopers okay here we are up on our scaffold a little bit of ice still but brought some salt with us it's actually um it's over a week now since we've worked because as you all know middle of December it's been minus up to like minus 11 degrees i think so today we've got a good day it's quite cloudy today so the temperature's increased a bit we've got two degrees and rising but then what we're doing today is inserting lentils in here as you can see there's no one in there so there you go that is not good look at the state of that pretty much held in silken and all this is sat on this window frame so i'm not sure if these windows are properly all right or not so the plan today is i've done next doors probably about four or five years ago we're going to copy that and take a little bit work out we're going to cut these down down to the level of the window so we can sit a little bit that way as i was saying we're going to cut this half down to here we're going to sit a little bit on there and we're going to put the house back in i'm not going to bother raising the little up because these windows are staying so we don't want to put this big gap in here plus these bricks are actually massive and we wouldn't be able to get a decent of match what i mean is the more calls we get are like 15 mil shorter than that so it's just look a mess so we're going to do that take everything out put everything back no no we're not bothering him cover to tray actually point this under this face of wooden soffit it's no point so it basically is take out lentils in put back and the house isn't insulated actually we'll listen to the other video we did when we did kitchen window down there but we did we did insulate behind the lintel and we're going to insulate above this lintel so that if you ever do ever get the insulation blown in then this bit will be sorted obviously this isn't an ideal but that's the design of these eyes there's some fun designs so yeah that's it that's the plan once all it's got the dust sheets out we're going to cover the windows up and i'm going to start taking this out the only fun bit is getting the last couple of bricks in because it's very we'll have to actually cut that one down and slide it in i'm pretty sure that's where i did next door so yeah this isn't going to take much knocking down so i don't think we're even going to bother with power tools today yeah so then i'll just get an organized down there get myself one i actually haven't got a coat on i'm getting mad thinking something must have gone wrong when we unloaded that van because i've just got the mixture out what's that it's the lead it's been yanked out i don't know if the lintel's cut it off i can fix it but no pain in the ass leave this leave the sound in the van till the last second till we need it yeah we're gonna get cracking so time lapse here we come we've already passed 11 another life we've managed to get another mixing before it dies now let's just get all got everything cleaned up what is it about 30 halves more than half 30 isn't there a lot of halves 50 halves and about 50 bricks yeah yeah so i just got all that sorted all the bricks in those you say he does nothing he's busy up there while i'm busy down here you can't always see him on camera because he doesn't know he's doing the brick lane where he's doing all the messing around the background all the tidying up all the mixing affection and carrying up and down the ladders so um just remember that and we're back 84 percent the battery died i'm not impressed with this gopro at the moment we're starting to fall out with this gopro ready for this kind of stuff there we go 83 percent and it still switched itself off so let's make this short i'm gonna start Alex is gonna get the line set up we're gonna put the lintels up when i get up there we're gonna get some more truck so i'm gonna start passing more truck then i'm gonna get up there with Alex get set up lintels on etc packed up line up there's no trace going in we're gonna put some insulation up there because obviously when if they do come and inject the house they can't get up there so we're going to insulate that top bit with the insulation i'm going to take the evolution hoover up with us so you're on top of the frame where all the debris is and Alex is going to take that inside later because when you've when you disturb the windows you disturb the cork and the seal between the plasterboard on the top reveal and the window so all the dust starts falling in then so you can see through the windows all the windows still is full of muck so once we're done the customer just needs to run a bead of cork on the top of the windows but we've got that handy thing take with us cordless like that so just take it up with him hoover it up and then it's done not leaving it to the customer then so um yeah we'll get up there we'll get set up and we'll get this pretty working oh it's only half 11 by the way it's got things going okay we keep getting rain but um it's three degrees and it's mostly dry so we're cracking on this is our line just top of our lintel so this is our line just at the top of the lintel gives us a couple of mil above we're going to cut this brick like that and like that and then the halves are going to sail through to that half a brick like I say there's no tray or anything going it's just lintel insulation brick work same again there we're going to cut that split half as a split to match next door and there you have it that's the plan I'm going to mark these up now Alex are going to go down with the evolution saw which is down there on the drive and get these three cuts for me which will be straight through because it's like I say it's 150 mil cut cracking piece of cake so yeah that's that we'll get the lintels on and probably have a bit of dinner there you go so we're back one good morning into fairwoods picked up at three meter angle line we're 27 meters and the reason we picked it three meters was because at 10 past 12 and I put the lintel up on a setting it's just a little short and it wouldn't go near it so we just had to build over the small window get that finished I don't think we've called it that because we've had enough bar and stuff so I'll tell you can show you that bit so we've got the two three lintels there I hope you can hear me over that stupid mixer so we've got this one to cut in half for our next job because they didn't have any 1500s and we've got this one to cut down for this job it's got a massive upstand but we're not putting a tray in this so it doesn't matter about the upstand it's probably better for the big span anyway when things go wrong it just tends to get worse and worse and worse for us so it's currently raining which we can cope with that we can get the brick work finished I've just gone to put the trim up there we've got a 30 mil trim 30 mil trim won't cover the gap it'll go in the gap and the double sided tape won't stick to the wood so the trim's just falling out because it's actually curled and it's cold it won't we can't get back to being straight so it just keeps pushing off and pushing off so that's another thing I'm going to have to do now I'm going to go and get some 50 mil trim a 50 mil d to put over that gap so the actual d will stick plastic to plastic and then I can see it properly so that should have been finished now that's not getting done late till later hopefully we're going to get done for dinner time so I can take Alex back and I'll come back later and do that just such a pain in the arse this is all got to be sprayed with the Thompson's and we're going to spray around here as well where the old commons are it's a proper ropey that um yeah I think that's it oh yeah um our grinder we lent to Robbie so we've got no big grinder so we're going to have to cut these down with a four inch grinder what else has gone wrong good insulation I don't think that's it for today so I'm hoping our look starts to pick up after this I just need to get on to Malcolm about the scaffold to get that drop before Christmas it's currently 18th of December and obviously they don't want that up over Christmas so that's it for now I'll get back to you when there's something to report right there you go there's Saffody's effort I've cut the brick down put a slot of the lintel in 100 mil and because this is a silly 100 mil pillar all we can do it that is 50 mil either side for each lintel that would be an issue but that's it above brick and edge two course of brick holding nothing that's just purely decorative you like and then here's our new lintel took some cutting that because we haven't got the big grinder actually it's a little grinder with a six mil thick grinding disc that was a pain to get done yeah that's all in solid it's all packed up stop it sagging you can see how much the brickwork has sagged onto the window neck of the window it's almost touching at that end and then these gaskets have had it and we need to speak to the customer about these telling me they need they could do with new windows really they're all necked there are all the gaskets you've shown can come out so in the bad spot there as well at the bottom of the window because of what we can get in there look at that so um I'll take a few pictures then for the for the customer learning though if you try stretch that back in there I'll probably snap fully perished so anyway line set up for me brick and edge mortars on the board Alex is around the corner oh no he's not he's there he's doing the Thompson's water seal on around that corner on that wall in the back customers asked to see that wall right here just above the other lintel we did and then um hopefully we'll get out of here for dinner all right I'm done what are you doing just a little watering is there any left in it is there any left yeah all right okay well make sure your spray till it's gone half a little water good shake give it a good spray rinse it out put another more water in another rinse to do just rinse it through twice make sure you spray it windowsill right right do you give it a good soaking in the back yeah okay cool so there you go that's us as I explained before the trims too small so we're back we're back in the area tomorrow so we'll come and get that trim on finally we're going by some 50 mil so yeah um this could probably be sealed because it's down like 5 mil down to 10 back to 5 mil but this one can't you've got almost 10 mil there up through to about 20 in the middle back to about 10 at this end that's gotten a bit of an overhand lip that's so that's bigger than it looks but you're making enough waffling let's get this brick working and get out of here oh yeah we've insulated it here because if the do decide to have the the installation blown in obviously this top bit's never going to get done so that's that's insulated from the windows up into the eaves right to the top obviously that can't be insulated that's proper a proper cold spot that probably a damp spot that's probably a tiny bit there if I'm wearing like that return there return there so less than 300 there just a little strip down there and then a bit under the windows oh yeah I'm also need to tell him it's flashing it's all coming out so we need to start looking at that's not a very good link that needs a bit of attention there you go how goes the uh the battle you've been fuelled back up with the sausage or sausage barn whatever so we go just that bit of brick work left and then we're out of here I'm tidying up downstairs and um yeah that's that's all there is to it so I'll throw you back on time left to this last bit and I'll see you for the outro so all the brick work up and behind the so soffit solid soffit nice solid all bricks stay tuned to the end to see how we did that the video from home because we've got to
