 There we go, not too bad So now now that's once that's pointed up there that'll be nice and sealed then we can start cutting out the window Out there then we can start cutting the brick work up now now. We don't have to worry about any dust So yeah I'll crack on with this getting these jams out and then tied you up, and it's ready to get the block working And of course we're gonna use these These screw ins these are our preferred go-to Obviously they're gonna go in tie the block work And that's it. Good morning. It is a nippy Monday morning, but We're here and we're ready So the concrete is due between 10 and 1 if I remember correctly, so we're just gonna get ourselves Busy otherwise, so I've already scraped out all the loose crap in there. So Just have to have one more valuation of that then we'll be ready so in the meantime though dad's getting some blocks morning and We're gonna make a start making a mess inside getting that steel in and I'm also gonna Start taking out this window. I'm gonna get these out first and then get all that out so we can block up the inside and Maybe break up the inside today. We'll see Inside hopefully the outside. Yeah Because it is gonna be rendered eventually but the customer wants it to be done in bricks just for the meantime So can't argue with that. See if we block it up first, then we don't have to worry about dust. Yeah And then once the concrete's in we can then cut all that up and get the wall in and get all this down then so Hey It's a good plan. Let's hope it goes well. So we'll get you set up on time. That's why we set things up and Yeah, we'll catch you catching the next part It is now. She's on the inside. Sorry on the outside Taking the house out for now I'm on the inside taking the tiles off and this This is how you should seal a cavity before the days of cavity closures They should have been of course and that really You know That's us and she's getting blocked up today Gonna strip all the tiles out so we can Support us so we can get the block working and then That's ready for plastering then obviously that's coming out There's gonna be a bit of it. Maybe a rest of it's coming out still going in to hold the roof up That's gonna be propped up and probably take that out today because We've secured that for now Concrete's going in this morning. Maybe this afternoon. So tomorrow get that block wall up and I think that's the last job Hopefully hopefully we get a lot done today got plenty to go out and nothing to hold us up. So We need to get moving today. I think that's where the nib comes to So, um It's because it's the end of the wall or something so it's it is Put that on the drawing anyway. So that's what we're following Which can be hidden inside the cupboards because the cupboards come along Here and I think I said before this is getting changed These are getting changed for the for the panels. We've kept the panels from this side So they're going to be cut down and fitted into the Floors getting insulated Steelers getting insulated and plasterboarded And then that's that's pretty much it really and kitchen goes in But as for us today, that's our job for today. Hopefully that's coming out winds are getting blocked up Probably bricked up as well and hopefully get the steel in this afternoon So busy day All the tiles are off back to bear brick work and block work Now not everyone does this, but you should do really even though there's a vertical damp up the up the germ When you're breaking a window up, obviously it's not a window anymore. So it doesn't need the returns So really you should knock all the returns out all the way up so that your cavity continues all the way through It gets rid of these cold spots here and here Sorry here And here because obviously that's going to be a cold spot because the jams aren't insulated Although it's that's the old way of doing it a bit of damp course and then we turn the reveals in So we actually take that out like that So we can insulate right through And that's right through into that side So as I said block work today first Once that block works in we can get that window out on the other side Start grinding and cutting and one of you it just reduces the amount of dust we get in here because if we start using a grinder Before we block up the dust is ridiculous So yeah I'll crack on with this getting these jams out and then tidy up and it's ready to get the block working I think there's about 12 blocks in it So let's crack on That's got all these halves out from under the window Cavities are clear There's the there's the old tray original tray original timber lintel clear cavity So now I'm just going to drill two holes either side for our screwing ties and get this block work across So a couple of holes to drill a bit of tidying up and then we can get cracking on the block work Concrete's here so happy days a bit earlier in my schedule good job we're ready And there you have it a nice little foot in the concrete I tell you what You know you're getting you either getting old or you're really becoming a tradesman when you get so excited for the concoct All right break time is over. So now it's time Lock this window up. So while dad was knocking all this out. He's also kindly got the a drilled in the plugs for me So there's two there and two on this side You can make that one out a bit better. So And of course we're going to use these These screw ins these are our preferred go-to Obviously they're going to go in tie the block work And that's it So dad's going to do the cuts for me while I do the block laying And we're taking outside Mix is ready and It's weird seeing a red sand mix again. It's been a too long time since we've done a mix of red sand And it feels foreign now to use it. We got these to the yellow sand down so So I'll give that another bit of a swirl get these blocks loaded out and get this Get this blasting out right, so Blocks loaded Mortars ready got me tools just over there What's missing is me So as I said before we find them We're going to screw ties and See these Got the tail wires, so Make make a mental note before before someone comments that there's no tail wires There's four tail wires here. So There you go We're just we're going to start doing like a buddy prize drawing out. See if you can find the tail wires You want to prize or something? so Stick your time out. So I'm getting this up, but uh No, you stickly delian all blocked up. I just need to get the pointing trial on the top pointer off dies and I can get the top bit done, but There it is all blocked up, but you know, it's so much darker. It was getting on the time lapse, but uh There we go. Not too bad So now now that once that's pointed up there, that'll be nice and sealed Then we can start cutting out the window Out there then we can start cutting the brick work up now. Now we don't have to worry about any dust coming in this way so So that's One thing check one thing checked off the list Next thing I think after I've pointed that will be after lunch. We will I think get a start on the steel. We'll see what happens. I'll keep you updated, but I think this will be the next next time. I'll see you'll be after lunch. So catch you then Right. Hello, it's me As you can see there with the concrete We're a bit higher the concrete so I've dug a trench in at the front for our face which come along and push the The leftovers to the back so they get rid of it. I'll just build it up at the back. So we've got two levels on the concrete Um, I've built a little corner. This is going to be our new brick work The block works going to go straight on top of this. We're not going to set it back because it's all going to be rendered eventually So there's no need to step the block work back in if you'll have a render I'm just getting my corner up There's one course to go on top of that but obviously the board's in the way at the moment And this is just a little thing just to show On these little jobs Are these little awkward things can slow you down all the time It was my boy He's just finished inside. Yeah, so if you look there Below the string line, there's like a lip that's concrete or brickwork or something So that's in the way So I've got to get the grinder out cut that back to get the brick working I'm putting the brick working now on the wet concrete so it'll set And then that's up high enough to get our profile on tomorrow and the profile to get us to full height And we'll just have to remember to leave Enough room to get a cylinder there Yeah So yeah, um So that's me up to now. I'm going to run get this cut this bit cut off and get this this cut this one bottom course running at least And then hopefully this afternoon we're going to get on that window Get that two down get that brick top So I'll hand it over to Alex. He's going to take me and show what he's been up to. I've already shown Already Shopping this side Uh, rather not Yeah, you can't tidy up the windows in the way, isn't it? Don't take the window out that'll be all tidy. Yeah, sure once the windows tidied up Lots of people to uh, judge me. Yeah, see you after lunch right Here's another little pickups Um, luckily we're at brick so that's two those two out That's down cause that's finished brick works finished there and it's blocked work from there. So Two dots keep it nice and tidy We pop the um, the selling minions. We've popped the Extra ear beads out Class came out nice and easy Just got six little tiny flathead screws to get out and that frame will pop out then And then that's ready for brick work. Well, it's not ready for brick work ready for us to do now But um, the recieps all rip through them in no time Alex has already been like today. Just just try it out. It's brilliant. So that won't take long And um, it's probably a bit late to put a mix in now So we'll um, we'll get set up inside for the stales So we've got a lot to get done tomorrow. I don't think we're gonna get finished tomorrow. It might go into half a day on Tuesday the Wednesday But that's just one of those things The yeah, it is what it is So, um, we'll leave it at that and get back to you a bit
