 We've picked up a 750 angle line, which you've seen us in Buries, got a 904b3 for the inside. Get that. No, that's a nice fit. Just look, the blocks are just in such a poor condition, the levels are different, some of the blocks have been broken away completely. So, it just took a bit of trial and error getting them level. We've gone over by a day now. That's what the scouts cost us, an extra day's labor. Well, we've left that pallet. So that's our early morning run to Buries. It's just opened here. Customers asked us to do an extra lintel onto the window we did a couple of days ago. We've had a couple of days off because we're still waiting for the scaffolders. And we're back today. Scaffolders are meant to be coming today, but we can get this lintel done today now. Is it an extra? So just got what we were here to pick up. I'm going to go up the shop to the toy shop and try not to spend any more money. That's it, isn't it? Just lintels. Let's go. That's that done. Just have straight a clock. Let's get to the job. Well, it's like you say it's weather ones, isn't it? So people are probably smart and not coming in. Yeah. But the police business is after me. So whether it's you're nipping to pick and stuff up. Right, Friday the 14th. I don't have to check the date today because it was Alex's birthday yesterday. 24 years old. Hey Al. Run for a nice meal with his sister. And her husband and the little one and his mum. It's quite nice that. Nice quiet meal. We've not been in for the last three days because we were waiting for this scaffold to go. Obviously we need a scaffold for that and we need one round the back. So we spoke to the customer last night and he asked if we could put a lintel in this. He asked me if I needed it. I said, well, it's not critical, but he's decided he wants it doing, which is fair enough. So we've picked up a 750 angle line, which you've seen us in Buries. Got a 904b3 for the inside. So because it's such a tiny upstand, we're just going to take two courses out on this. So we're going to take four out of the five out above. Cavity tray, blah, blah, blah, the usual stuff. But it's quite soft this. So it's a quick saws all job. We're just waiting for the car to get moved. We haven't covered it in dust. We're all set up. So we're all set up, ready to go. So Alex is just upstairs measuring up his block sizes. Just see him on the landing there. So he's going to get all his cuts done and then it's meant to be your end this afternoon. So hopefully these lads will be putting the scaffold up and we'll be inside doing the internal block work. I think we've already shown it on the last video, but it's all chopped out, ready to go. So it's straightforward block work up there, both rooms. So yeah, we're all set up. Those bricks are a great match. Obviously a bit light at the moment, but they'll soon weather down, go a bit darker. But a good texture. A lot better than the first ones we looked at, which were bright orange, which are probably as orange as that garage. So yeah, probably a better match than those ones there. So yeah, time to stop waffling and get up there with the saws all. Obviously once the car's gone, so I'll catch you in a bit. Now that's a nice fit. Bed under that, pointed up, gobs of goodin'. Here's all my gear. Knife, insulation knife, reed vents, took pointer, which I've just used. Alex just let me insert the, and just make out the complete lidle there. That was great, that just marked it out, drilled at each side, and just got the saws all straight across the top, letterbox straight in. Bedded on, pointed it up, gobs of goodin'. And because this we've got such a small upstand on the lintel, we've only took two courses out. We normally take three to give us plenty of room on some of the wider ones. We need to take four out really. But Alex was up there doing the block work on the landing, and I'm going to get this bit done. I've just bedded the lintel on. I'm just cutting the little bits of insulation that go in behind the lintel. So they go in there, and then our cavity tray is going to get nailed onto the block here. Nice and easy. Be the silicone across the top. For those people who have a goal is for not chasing it into the block work, it doesn't need chasing it as long as it's flat on the inside skin. The cavity tray is to catch water in the cavity and on the back of the outside skin. It's not there to catch water on the inside skin, because it's very, almost impossible for water to get on that skin unless there's a leak upstairs. Or you've got hundreds of really bad tyre wires that let the water cross. It's never that bad, because even on new builds, when you put the step cavity trays up along the roof, when you put step cavity trays in the plastic pre-formed ones, they just rest against the inside skin. They're not built in at all. So this is perfectly fine. So I'm going to get this insulation in, get the cavity tray done, and get this brick working before the rain gets too heavy. It's spotting now, but as you can see on the spot board. So let's get cracking and get this done. I might just put a packer in the middle though, it's been such a small little just to stop it from flexing like that. So anyway, back to time lapse and I'll get this sorted. Bit rough for the moment, but it's wet, so it needs pointing. Mortar's quite wet. So all you need to know is to save them all. You can just about see the upstand in there, next to the vent. And we've got three vents, a lintel, two lintels. That gets the award for the most straightforward lintel, I've ever done, I think. Yeah. Inside and out done. Cracking job that. So I'm just going to get this tidied up and pointed up, and get all this dropped, and then Alex has nearly done up there, and we've just got the bathroom to do. And that's all the inside work done then, then all that's left to do then, once scaffold up is window, brick up, lintel, round the back, window out, brick up. That's it. And as I say, we've got the dummy frames there, which we're going to fix in like that, and build in. Whereas this one fitted in the hole, they're going to form the window, and we're going to build up to them. So it's going to give us a form to work to. So I have to make sure they're in nice and plumb. So I've been getting windows in. So yeah, it's time to get this pointed up, and get this dropped, and then going off for a quick dinner. It's not rain yet. So... There. That's all the outside work done for today. I've messaged Malcolm the scaffolder, and not had anything back yet. He did say, try and get here Friday. So hopefully, we'll see him here some time today. Fingers crossed. So, right. Get back to you in a minute. I actually do, and I would never have gone off like myself personally, but I think there's going to be some improvement, and I would suggest 12%. Thank you. 12%. Okay, thank you very much. Professor Jaymeyer and Thomas, former cancer surgeon, and Professor Shackleton, Len Shackleton of the University of Buckingham discussing the one stand out thing in the Shesoon X announcement yesterday, which is the guess between what the junior doctors want and what he's offering. Professor, they want 35, and he's offering 6. In lots of other areas, strikes will stop, but not this one. I thought that was time-lapsing. Well, there you go. Done. Just need to trim that damp course off underneath. Do that off a hop-up. Yeah, that's done. Nice to be able to just take two courses out of a change. Nice, straight forward that. Sorry, Alex, it's done up there. Just see if it did last. That's done. We've just got the bathroom to do now, so we're going to have a bit of dinner. Alex can get a bit of a mix in, and I'll get the tides up here. Get all the trestles back in the van, because I don't need these anymore. And then get that thing rattled off the set to do and get going. No sign of Malcolm so far, so we'll give him another text. So we'll catch you after dinner. Nice job, Dad. Thank you. So, yeah, rain's here. Lintel's in. Three nice little wheat vents. So I'll take you inside and see what we've been up to. Well, what I've been up to and what Dad is going to be up to. There you go. There's a nice little look at the concrete lintel. I forgot about that. That just needs pointing up. Same up here. Got that done. Let's see. Stand this way so you can get the light. There we go. So top bit just needs pointing there. And then this needs finishing. I've made a start with the bricks, but we've run out. So I need like two three-quarters there just to keep it from having a small bit. And then three-quarters block. Well, there's my blocks. So there we go. Yeah, it's not the most fun task because it's very cramped and I had to reset all these bricks because I don't know if you can tell, but I took all this off obviously over here, but the blocks are just in such a poor condition. The levels are different. Some of the blocks have been broken away completely. So it just took a bit of trial and error getting them level. That's the kind of work. It's a work one way than work backwards to get to where it is now, but obviously that'll get tidied up on the blockwork. Got my plugs ready. And I'll show you quick before anyone starts complaining. There you go. Tire-wise, that's the only way they could go in at the moment because obviously until that scaffold's up they still need a house to be waterproof. Yeah. That's everything. Tire-wise in. The screw ties are in there. Once this window's out, when the scaffold's going in we can get it that side and get that flushed up and tidy. So for now I will set you up on time-lapse somewhere. I'm going to get a mix-in in that sodding brain and then we'll get working. Catching a bit. There we go. That's the lintel officially finished. Good job Dad. And this has just been a slog this part, but that part's done as I was showing you before. That's a top-point of that. Once the window's out we can get it out from the back as well then just to get any bits we've missed. Especially on this one because this one's finished but they just see the tiles are in the way of top-pointing. So when we come back here when the scaffold's up we're going to top-point it from the back instead and then we can patch up any gaps there as well. But that was that was a challenge. But that's the blockwork done. Now unfortunately the scaffold's not going to be here until Monday because Malcolm our scaffold guy's had an operation but we've just found out he's trying to get his lad sorted out which sucks for us but it's one of those things. So task now is get this as tidy as we can get it and get ourselves ready for Monday. So, see you then. Good Monday morning. Monday the 17th of July and it's about 10 past eight. Currently putting this up which is our recital scaffold. The only reason I'm putting this up is for one brick which is way up there round here somewhere because you've got the crack from the little where the rust jacking's gone. It's false way all the way on there and gone up there. When it's gone up it's took a brick with it. So of course we said he wants that brick replaced so we're putting this up to get us up there to replace that brick and then we'll move along and get this bed pointed up and then hopefully by then the scaffold lads will have been scaffold up. I've been told today but no one here yet. We're going to get this one today because today's probably the best day of the week. So we're going to get this done and then that leaves with this one up here and the thing with that one is we'll be able to rig something up off the roof with a bit of plastic or something if we need to for a bit of a shelter. We're here, we're exposed so we're going to get this one done plus this has got lintel to do as well so there's more work involved in this one. That one's pretty straight forward but yeah we're going to whip this scaffold up quick as we can, get that brick out get the points in done and then see where we get from there. So yeah we've been off again, we keep it we can't get it going because we can't get obviously we need the scaffold to finish this job so he did say today it's a fingers crossed it will be but until then we'll just crack on. Right what we're on, one o'clock isn't it because it's just had the news and we thought we were packing up and going home but they'll have to stand up about an hour ago and whack beast to open in flood time. Yeah so I packed all the van up. So Alex thought he was going home so I've disappointed him. It's not that, it's the fact that Yeah so we're all set so the plan now is just do the take the brick work out of the lintel today we're not going to take the window out, it's too late so we're going to jump up on this one which is the side window the back one all sorted again that's that's going to be awkward because the scaffold is high but because of the ridge on the porch it's like it's worth to put the actual deck. So we're going to take the saw pipe out and use the saws all for the tooth and then put the distinct pipe back on after. So no windows out today now it's too late if we took a window out now it'd be until 7 o'clock tonight so we're going to concentrate on the lintel and even if we don't get any brick work back in we'll get it taken out and propped up ready for tomorrow and then just concentrate on all brick work tomorrow so when we're back tomorrow I can jump on this one Alex and jump on this one we'll see how it goes anyway so I'll take you up there and we'll start taking some of this brick work out and get it propped up ready for the new lintel so catch up there there's the first few I've got out as usual it's never as easy I think it's rock hard because this is jacked all the way across it's absolutely knackered so it's not just listed in one spot like it usually does look at that, but it's tripled in thickness that so you can see the big bed where everything's lifted when it's pushed up pushed along there pushed the whole pike all the way across there so that whole pike has been lifted by 10mm it's all held in, there's no danger of falling down it's just obviously got a big crack in there you can see here the water running down here as I was drilling here water's pouring out of it and if you look at this tray this tray wasn't doing much because it's ditched so where's the water supposed to go I think back then the idea of the water on the tray was to go along the edge and run off into the cavity and down into the floor but obviously modern modern ones it's all sailed and you've got the vents in it but this thing was holding water and it wasn't going anywhere because it poured out when I was drilling into it you see how wet the water is still wet up there so that's obviously getting in here so Alex, I'm just going to jump down there now and get the hole cut out for the bottom strong boy and then get this one propped up because of where the crack is they only get this propped here before I carry on and usually they all come out loose but it's jacked up that tight it's solid and it's hard to get the saws off because of this bitumen cavity tray so I'm just slowing it down but as we always do we just persevere and keep going yeah, we've been on the radio so there you clive talking about the neighbours but yeah obviously quite recap all those halves and three-quarters are coming out and we're going to break up to there and then from there we'll be putting a new lintel in across here with a new tray so it's only a little lintel but we have to take all this out which is a shame but anyway well, it only has to take out to there no, I don't have to take it all out because I've got to get the lintel out so, yeah I'll probably take out three courses out to there and then just take one course out there so we can slide the lintel out no, yes, because the new tray hasn't come from here yeah, we've never done one like this before like reducing the window new lintel, it's like two jobs in one so it's just getting me head round it so yeah we've got to come to here, probably about here take these out to the then from there we'll just take the bottom out so we can slide the lintel out of the this rotten piece of crap let me just get it show you how bad it is it's gone bottom and it's back, it's that crow's you can probably snap it the core of the flet isn't rusted the rest of it's rusty weight so there's the core that's left the strongest thing in the world nothing stops it so yeah, we've got to get this sacro in and crack on and we're out that was freaking hard work they don't usually put up a fight like that but this was hard motor a lot harder than down there it just proves when it's mixed it's inconsistent so look at the state of this lintel I think this takes the award for the worst one we've had look at that it's right by the wind but it's going to gale away let me just do it prof that is powerful powerful stuff rusted that much, there's not much actual unrusted steel left the actual core is very thin it's time to tidy up we're all propped up so yeah, I'm going to tidy up up here and we're going to get out of here back tomorrow, hope the weather isn't too nasty to us again sorry about the wind I'm going to put it at the top here a bit of a pain to put the mics on so I'm going to whip this thing out now you can see it's about 160 feet in there about 100 there I'm going to just centre it we'll be taking this off and tucking our tray underneath this lip that's tomorrow, actually pull out because there's no fixings in the windows believe it or not another bit of points up there to do and get this back in so tomorrow is whip the winder out chew it out, get the brick work across lint along and brick that up we've gone over by a day now that's what the scaffold costs, an extra day's labor so, let's get this thing tidied up and get out of here right for today, I actually just took the rubbish down in the tub coffee made while we tidied up I'm going to get this stuff down there's what's left of the bricks, I've got some other bricks here this is just wedged up I'm not going to stop anything dropping not that anything is up, because there's a bang and it's solid this has got the two strong boys in and our crows down there and yeah that's pretty solid that's lifted from there that's just put in again temporary that could come out tomorrow this is just because we're leaving overnight like I say, we never usually leave this overnight but that's the way it is today it's that, I'll go on my dinner time we've made good progress so yeah nice solid woodlintle get the tray under there and then get the bits off tomorrow get all the back of Alex's block obviously you couldn't get that when you built it and finish off the tuck point in there at the back and yeah I'm pretty sure the three quarters are going to be coming out tomorrow as well so quite a bit to come out I hope I'm still going to skip on one of our last jobs because that cost me a bit let's just drop a bit of woodwood in that skip
