 This is the main reason why. Hang on. Ready? Yeah. That's our four tonne skip. Alex just started digging my living away. Dating time. I have no idea and I have no idea. It is... We should always check before we start, shouldn't we? It's Monday the 20th of March and it is quarter to nine. Cool. New camera today so we're on our phone. Reason why it's quarter to nine. We've not done anything. Skip. Which we have a permit for. We have a skip on its way and like Dad said there's a permit for it but... It was ordered last thing on Friday wasn't it? Or it might have been saturday morning we ordered it. Anyway. But today's job is... There you go. It's a wall replacement. And extend the order of the month. Every time I wall bag it's getting looser and looser. Well as you can tell that's not exactly safe with pedestrians so... Obviously we're going to take the whole thing down and replace it with a nice nine inch wall with some bricks that we'll recognise. From a couple of other videos that I did while he was away last time. During the heat wave I remember. So we're nine inches roughly the same height with a nice blue engineering brick and edge finish. Keep thinking soldiers. No step. No step. We're going to try and keep these as well because customers are going to try and use them in the garden. So we'll try and keep hold of them. So I'm holding them mallet. And there'll be a brick and a half pillar on the end with a well-slate pier cap to finish. Which we'll put in the above. You'll see that as I'm talking. Bit of a back story. You might recognise this wall. From last time we did that. That's probably about two years old that now. Yep. You click on the banner. There's some where it pops up. Yeah we did that one and that one in the same week. Customer doesn't want the same. They want different bricks which is fine. And they just want the blue tops to tie in with the colour at the top. I think. Oh yeah we're going to put a couple of bricks. Another little tie in. Again click on the banner. Yeah click on the banner. There's another little tie in for you. The drive's been done. It's the porch job. You might recognise the porch. And since the porch has been done, they've had a guy come and he's taken all the flags up and relayed all the original flags. So it looks very smart I'm sure you agree. Lovely job. This is where I've got the permit for the skip because they don't really want the skip on the new drive which has only just been done. So yeah that's coming out as well. So I have to take that out carefully so I'm not disturbing all this. And then I'll have to rig back the shit. The whore shit. So yeah it'd be lovely just to push it over and have a nice dramatic slow-mo shot but we haven't got any boards to protect the pavement so we're just taking it the slow way. Plus we're waiting for the skip so there's no rush to just pile it up. And Neil, our joined friend will be here today as well. He's working in these windows. He's just put the bay windows in there. Yeah this is the Lentil Street. We've done so many of them up here. I think we've done 15 houses down here. The last one we did was one of the houses at the top there. What we've done is stuff at the top right from the house at the bottom. And in search of the job we did. So yeah. I'm going to try and set this phone up somehow because we haven't brought our camera equipment while we get this thing knocked down. So I'll catch you in a bit. Oh yeah yeah. Wednesday? I suppose it gives the concrete plenty of time to go off. And we'll also be to remember. We're doing? Yes. Profile. Yes yes. Let's try that again. Interrupted by a phone call from James Steel. Right, what was the time to be saying it was? Oh quarter past ten now. Okay quarter past ten no skipping as you can see. The buckets are full. Yeah. Grills are full. There's Neil. And you know what's happening these things aren't cleaning up. The reason being this is the original wall. Right. What were we doing again? 20 past now. 20 past ten. No skip. Top to full. Top to full. We're currently cleaning bricks up because we're going to take about 20 home aren't we? Because if we need any more lintels, lintel jobs on here, we've got the brick strip now. Perfect match. We don't really need a lot of bricks but we'll just keep these as a stock up because obviously you can't get these anymore. We're keeping half a dozen for the customer around the back. They've been sent over. Yeah. These things just aren't. I forgot what they're called. Screen blocks are a lost cause. The mortar, you can see how bloody green it is still. It's just too tough. Yeah. Look how great that is. This stuff's like bloody sandstone. It's that fragile. Yeah. Trying to clean them tonight. We've saved seven instead of eight. But we haven't cleaned any yet. Yeah. So we're going to maybe try it with the grinder. That's if they still want them because obviously there's a lot more than this before. But it's one of those things. They're not that bothersome. They said if you can't clean them, just forget it. Yeah. Half of them are already broken to begin with as well. So just moving the walls made it worse. So there's the original wall. As you can see, nice clean top. That's how the original wall was when the house was built. Nice little low wall. In the 70s when these things were all erased, they've come along and stuck these across the top of it. They're usually granite to do it. Yeah. Because the mortar's so strong, that's probably what's held the wall. Stopped it falling over. So I've decided to make an executive decision. We're going to get it all down, start digging, and just pile the stuff in the road here in front of my van. And then when the skip comes, we'll get the skip dropped here and we'll just throw this thing straight into the skip. Otherwise, we're not going to get this concreted today. We need to push on with this. It could be two o'clock before the skip comes and the day's gone then. Just hope the mixer lasts out. Yeah, we've got a little surprise in the mixer. We'll tell you all about it when it happens. And it's not a new one. Five and a half hundred quid. It won't be a new one. Sorry, I'll catch you in a bit. All right for now. It's not wide enough. It's not thick enough. So we're going nine inches. We're going to go deeper and wider with that. There's the bed. It's a concrete. That's the nine inch wall on that, even the little one. One sec. Right, there's our concrete. Not much trouble for the breaker. So how much further down we're going to go? It's three inch. It's probably barely nine inches wide. So we're going to go a bit that way a bit. Give it a bit more spread. You don't have to go massive, you think. Just as long as you get the whole concrete out. And we'll put the concrete in level as well. We'll see how that goes with the dig. We might put a step and it will see, but the step won't be. It'll be in the foundation, not in the wall. It'll be like a pig. So yeah, that's it. So it's not going to take much getting out of that. It might be a bit thicker at the end we'll see, but it's coming out okay. And we're still waiting for the skip. So fingers crossed that arrived soon, but until then it's all just going there. I've found a few more buckets to dump some crappy for now. So I'll keep you on the time lapse. And any more garb walls now with price for a new foundation. Yeah. I can't build new walls on that. No. There we go. The camera's back. I've just been to get some stone, so I nipped home and got this back. So you're back on the proper camera now. So what do I find? Well, that was a good timing. Skips finally arrived, so... That was a good time. Especially for the old wall. Yeah. That was an open good time. Well yeah, but... I've been in school. Now that's it. We can get all this crap loaded in. So happy days. Feel a bit bad just to leave them to it, but no camera means I've got to hold my phone. Thank you very much. No skips. This will be full up in like 10 minutes. So excellent. We'll crack back on, I think. I've been away. Alex has finished loading the skip. I don't know if he'll skip me though. That's our full ton skip. Alex has started digging mine up and away. First little stick-scapper. Skip stacker. Yeah. That's it with the concrete out now. Now obviously Alex has moved the post, which came out very easily. Now we're just going to let come level through now with that and level it through because it's ready to clay. Yeah. Straight onto clay. So we're doubling, tripling the thickness and doubling the width. It's coming out quite nicely too, but it's just obviously a drag because of the weather. It's very humid today. We'll get the spread on the concrete and we're going to fill it right up. So that's all going to be concrete in there. It's a foot wide and there's a bit extra in the underline, so... It's three inches. And from there. So all that's been dug out and as we've explained, we've gone further out by about a foot and deeper than whatever the hell that was. So now we've just got our level set up and we're going to get a little level put across and I think that said something about putting some pegs in. So we'll have a look at that. I'll help him now and then get some concrete in, hopefully. So I'll get his set up on time. There we go. We didn't film that last part because it was there. It started to rain a bit, so we didn't want to... Oh, we couldn't be bothered. Gotta be honest. Couldn't be bothered getting the camera wet. That's the concrete in. It's a bit wet because of the rain, but we will... Pardon? Can we hose down? Yeah, and we've hosed down all this bit now so it's not going to be a problem Wednesday because tomorrow is going to be rainy as well. I'll show you. We have a permit for our skip and here's the light. So it's allowed to be there. We've made sure that we paid the extra £35 for it this morning. So you know. So yeah, we'll... Next time you see us, we'll be starting this up. So see you then.
