 I think where I'm stood here, there was a very very deep well. We've transferred this marked line down here and we've measured to where the brickwork is going to be starting. Old school foundation. I can't remember the last time I built a foundation. And good morning on this very brisk day. It is Tuesday the 4th of April and we are back at Jason's job and this time we have a new project. No lintels this time. We have a little L shape extension to do and just a quick one. I think where I'm stood here there was a very very deep well. I think dad's going to put a picture up while I'm talking about this but I think if I remember right there was like over 11 cube of concrete gone in there. So that's a lot of bloody concrete. I'm glad we never dug up any of that in our extensions knock on wood. But that's all filled up now and concreted so our job is going to be get up to DPC with these course and bricks and yeah get up to DPC level and then I don't know what's happening from there but that's our task for today. I think at some point these drains are going to get moved as well so hopefully that might be done if we're coming back so and we've got our water. I'm just going to go help dad get some stuff now because I kind of left him to do this little intro so I will catch you in a bit. Probably time laps are loading out. See you then. So since the camera was rolling we've just done got started with a bit of setting up. I've got a little laser level operating and what we've done so far is we've transferred this marked line down here and we've measured to where the brickwork is going to be starting and we've got two five thirty so obviously now we're going to transfer two five thirty onto that side and we'll know where the brickwork is going up to on that side. Did you explain about me? Yeah how much was in there? These I'll put a picture up on screen of the ladder and that ladder I'll show you but anyway I think I worked it out judging by the ladder room it's about 11 feet deep just on this corner as you see there's a big hole and it's a well it's a stone well so they had to get this dig all out get back down to solid clay and Jason said by the time it's concreted they had to get a pump as well. I think he said 11.4 cube went into the first pole and then it's been poured again to level it off so I'm not sure what was in the second pole I've got to ask so there's you're probably talking getting over 14 cube going in here for this little extension which is it's an important part of the part of the house because this is going to be like the plant room with all the underfloor heating and everything all the electrics and everything comes into this room I think it's going to be utility as well and the last one is we're using this today kaiwitz this was sent to us uh too long ago yeah we've had it a long time this and we've actually found it I've only ever used this once before it's on this to sort to level the lentils but what we're doing here if you grab the camera mate I'll explain. So thank you to kaiwitz for sending this this so long ago I'm sorry that it took us this long to use it so if you look at this how scabby it is and there's a facial board in the way and there's a starter thing in the way the render so actually finding a point to plum down to get down to the concrete is near impossible so what we do with this thing is it's not ideal with the sun shining is set that up like that there you go there you go so it's way out there at the moment then it's over there look there's our line see there bring it a little bit closer so we can they can see it properly do you want to take that a sec yeah I'm gonna go right over that way yeah shout out in the bottom bit you can see it better yeah that's keep going over this is the bit we need to we need to be over here here bring me out the way stop out there okay so if I put my hand there just just about see the laser in the centre of my palm or tip of my finger so what that does is it shines the line just see it there if I keep getting away so that transfers the line down for us right down to the concrete so we can mark on there and we can mark on the concrete it's not set at the moment and also it's got the square line on it as well so when we've paralleled that line across to the two five thirty we can put a mark on set the laser up on the mark and then line up with this side so then that gives us this line and then it gives us a square line back to there and it'll tell us whether this this is an extension and this is the original house so this will tell us how square they got the extension and then we'll probably just make it work oh yeah as we always do yeah so this is really handy this so we're not currently using it as a level we're using it as a square as a square yeah and to transfer level transfer our dimensions yeah I like it and we might just put it set it up as a laser just to check Jason I think we've got a couple of pegs there a couple of pegs there I think he said the pegs were for the floor level I think he said about eight courses and it's 73 mil concrete commons two skins with a 150 mil cavity our first 150 mil cavity um you have to check we've got some tie wires because we're gonna need tie wires in it we've got the box with the stills though yeah six inch cavity they'll be long enough that's true so there we'll put you back in time that's why we get the rest to set out and we'll start loading out get a mixing with our pimped up mixer there you go with the mics on yeah we're getting there it's got a load of bricks thrown in load of 73 mil commons a few more to get in yet but a bread was frozen some more and so Christine is just driven down with our sandwiches for us so Alex is in the van currently and we're just having a quick recap so we've worked everything out we're parallel off this wall and when we squared back this way we were coming to like here so the actual building's out of square so what we've done is we've dragged that end behind us we've pulled that end out to line up with this so it's 30 mil on the whole building so it's um it's it's got to line up because it's got to be rendered through so there's no plonking it to the if that makes sense so that was done with the laser level for for squaring up which we've never done before that was great that we'd never transferred this down with the level look at the state of that so that was done with the laser line and Alex has marked it back and even when we build this corner up here we can put the laser back in the corner then we've transferred it over to here this is our these pegs are our floor datum and DPC Jason's put one in here one here one there one just to the side of them bricks and one in the corner next to the toolbox so when we brought the level in here and set it up keep clicking and then it goes that's it that brings you just to level if you look on this here see that now it's just a mill down from the top of that now Jason's old school he hasn't got laser levels and stuff he's done all this with the straight edge and we've actually checked over here checked all the pegs a couple of mill down there we're actually going out the sun now so we'll be able to see the laser level better soon so I put a shadow on here and don't stand in the way just just make it out again a mill down from the top you can't sit on a camera because I can barely see it in my own eyes I think we have a brightness on here we click this button you know that was on full brightness so we've put bricks in the way this one but we've already checked it it's bang on so we can transfer that back to the so yeah Jason's levels are perfect the building is slightly out of square probably 30 mil but look at the state of it it's an old building with an extension right you just got to follow up to here so yeah we can switch the laser off now the first time I've used it properly you're absolutely made up with it see what's throwing the line around inside there because we're out of the sun here it's belting made up with it yeah kai wheats cracking pedikit that would definitely be using it more we forgot the the proper rotary level but that what a faff that would be to set up here this is a lot easier without the staff and that so that's our view we're going to have a break get the rest of the brick in and then Alex is going to get a mix and we're going to get cracking I think there's about 400 in it so we need to pull our things out to get this done today there's a few lentils to go in and stuff but we need to speak to Jason about that Jason's not here today so Jason let us know about that so catch after broom right there's always day one on the job there's always a lot of messing about setting out levels set a lot of plava so we've got our lines now that laser's brilliant there's a damp course level should rise up there underneath that pipe it's going to be a bit awkward yeah that's got eight courses this ends 10mm high so we know that we'll get that in eight courses easy as I say it's eight courses we put the lintel in here two lentils in here to take this duct and this duct through back into the plant room I think that's power and stuff to the swimming pool then straight run and roughly about three brick in and then we're going to leave about two and a half maybe three brick wide opening we've got two, four people going to leave a nice big wide opening because that's that drain pipe there there has to come through and out there so Jason wants to keep it set as shallow as possible no no sharp bends to go out to forgotten purposes so we'll just put a nice big hole in there and then back to here as you can see that's clay tiny bit of concrete because this is the extension we've actually used concrete and then a bit of rubric to damp so yeah it's all brick wake up to damp same as that so it would be same as absolutely brick work up to damp plus two then the block work as soon as there's a couple on we can run for your win and get the lintel on and I can carry them with the corner at the top then this is not going to have a screen in here like the didn't house this is going to have a concrete floor straight up because there's no underfloor heating with it being a plant room stroke utility room there's a lot of cupboards and stuff so there's no point putting under floor heating in it but all the underfloor heating comes this with the manifolders so once that mixture's ready we'll get cracking without the sun now so we can see the laser it saves us so much hassle trying to get that line transferred down there fantastic so made up with that and then yeah that's it i'll slow them out and we'll get cracking there we have it what is it all back quarter five tell you what that's not bad old school foundation I can't remember the last time I built a foundation out of bricks so mind you with the struggle with the trench block because it's one of those cavities it's a 150 you can actually stand in there cavities that big any of the boots in there so yeah I don't know I'm going to get out of here because I can't bend my legs properly so there's the um lintel for the cables that blue duct and the black duct coming through into here and then that one's you can see those those two lintels are offset because the drain's coming out of here and it's going to sweep round into there so it's we've put them offsets it's a bigger gap based on the angle yeah eight course double skin do we even count how many brick are in it yeah three four five six seven it's about 240 on the outside skin yeah yeah it's probably about 20 less it's probably about 480 brick in it maybe 450 that's not bad because in the late start we had and the lintels of course that's now the lintels it was very very hard to set out as we showed you the laser which was a massive help you can see all that Jason's done a lot of patching up on this it's actually going to be that's going to be into the house that's into the kitchen don't know what I think that might be a downstairs toilet it's going to be utility plant room and then if you look upstairs where Jason's done that it's going to have a single story with a flat roof and it's going to be balcony so you can walk out the master bedroom out onto the balcony and admire the swimming pool very nice yeah so we're done so I'll hand you over to you on one over there we will be back to build it but what that's once Jason's at the floor then everything's gonna be all in breaks I want some I want some block in there so as you see that is it done if you enjoyed
