 the steel's there which Alex brought around on his own because all steel should be that big but these are all the damaged bricks around it so we've actually replaced so we're going back as far as we can, as deep as we can. I've gone right back to the end of the old original house. It's not a different video though. Good happy Friday morning, Friday, bacon, buttery and latte devoured, 25 past dates, 7th of July. This time last year me and Alex were in Manchester Airport waiting for our flight to Paris to go into the Disneyland Paris opening event for a Captain's magazine. We press, good fun wasn't it, apart from being ill. Yeah so we're back to now, back to the now. We're just clearing this prep up so we've got room to work, then door's coming out. To do this to do, we've opted for the saws all rather than the grinder because it's a bit dusty and we don't upset the neighbours again with the grinder. Obviously that's all to do. We've got, we're going to put two planks up with the two accros to take all the joists and knock a big hole out though, basically. The steel's there, which Alex brought around on his own because all steel should be that big. Look at it, beautiful. Plenty strong enough to take the floor joists. Yeah, we're all set up. So yeah, so the door out, to this out, brick work up, block work up. We're going to cut the cavity out as well if there is a cavity there because obviously there's no door there anymore. Lintel's all done, I just need to pack up the joists with a bit of slate so we can take the accros out and that's all finished, complete. Lintel's all complete from yesterday. Lintel tray vents. See the tray up there? There's the tray, cavity tray and there's no insulation going in anywhere because the whole house isn't insulated so it's all clear for them to get to lower the insulation after, should they choose to. So let's get this shite moved and crack on. There you go. That same, that piece of work is the cavity closure, the rest of it is just shitting the cavity. There's still a bit of a tower here. So you can see that tower is running external to it, internal to external. I don't think it's going to fit on those. I've given you a tower as a bank floor covered in snips as well. There's another big snip in there. So what we always do is we take out as much crap as we can reach and then we'll probably be able to get at that bit when we take this out. So when we do all this out we'll get some more crap out. So never leave your shitting if it's there. And then just get the door out, take the cavity out this side same as this on both sides. So always the same whenever you're breaking the door up, always have the cavity cut running right through. And when they come, you're doing away with the damp and the cold bridge spots. And then I should imagine we'll get the insulation blown in eventually. We can be so keen on the insulation right now. So that gives it a clear run when we do that.

Dad's just cleaned out that god-awful cavity. So they didn't fill it with insulation, they filled it with shit and thought that would do the job. But I've got this side out with the saw door. Once I changed that blade, it was a dream. So after the brake, I'll get the other side out and then I'll break this out and just keep cracking on. Once I've got that out and that out, I'll get a mix on ready for doing this brick and block work. So we will catch after the break. Right, it's just going 11 o'clock. Where's that morning gone? I'll tell you where it's gone. No, we spent a good hour getting shit out of this cavity. Just getting the crap out, haven't we? I'd say, what, four tubfuls? Four of them full. So we're going back as far as we can. As deep as we can. I've gone right back to the end of the old dirigent house. So it's all clear. So that's ready for me to go and the saws all get these two out and that's going to get this mess out. I just went to hit record on this because Dad's just took one more brick out there to patch up because there's a hole in it and he stuck it out and that is what he's fished out from that one brick hole. It's solid concrete that I can't reach it. Do you know where to get that out if they're taking the wall down and we have to stop somewhere? So we spent a good two hours on that. There were solid concrete came from in a bloody cavity. God knows. Yeah, look at that and that's just from one brick hole they stuck out. So I don't know what they did when they built this house. They must have used it as a skip. Yeah. Yeah, I just wanted to show you that. But other than that, that hole's ready for patching, that brick's ready. Dad's got his mortar now. So while he's focusing on that, we got a little setup for me over there. So I'm ready to stitch drill the... There you are. Just put the camera in there so the concrete is gone there. That's where the concrete starts there. Right, you may be flipped on your side here. Let's see what happens. It's two o'clock. Ten to two update. We had a late dinner. We're wasted. We've just, well, not wasted. We've lost a good two hours trying to get this cavity cleaned. That was late night there and we never managed to get it all done, which is an absolute shame but we've done our best, which we always do. A lot of people don't even bother doing that. They just break over it. While we had the holes, we took the opportunity to clean out. I think we've got four Gorilla tubs out at least, out of the cavity around here, which is a joke. And when we took all this up around the doorway, it was all damp. There was a piece of timber in the cavity that was wet and all this was sand, it was all wet. And then the rest was debris in the cavity. So once we're done, it's going to be all nice and clean. And just a window. So you can see where the window is now. You won't see the frogs and the windows in because the window will be up to there. So you'll just see that front edge. And I think we need to take the block weight back a touch. Yeah. But then, yeah, we'll do that later or tomorrow. And then there's a block weight to go in. I think that's it. Alex has done the stitch there on that side. He's used a 60mm bit so he can see daylight through a good style. And he was doing, to keep the dust down, he was using the Hoover as he was drilling, which is a cracking idea. And we've nailed a bit of dushy as well to kind of juice the block around there. Yeah, stop it going to the other side. Which I think it worked. Yeah, good. You couldn't see as much in the air. Yeah, because we haven't got enough dushy to cover the living room up. So I'm halfway through pointing this up and Alex is just getting himself set up there. He's going to get me a bucket of water and then we're going to go back on. And once I'm done with that he's going to help me prep up the aqua rows and then I'll try and get some blocks out. Yes. Make a start. See some daylight. This is going to be the template. Here we go. A good bit of progress. I bet that's your event there. Yeah. But here we go. I'll take you to the front to look at the bricks properly, but you can see where the window is going to be now. Yeah, I've got a board up here. Yeah. I think a piece of 3B2 either side and a piece of 3B2 there. 3B2 then I cut the boards to fit and nail it. What boards? The boards are brought. I don't know you brought any. Again, I'll take you to the front and there's my progress. The blocks are absolutely horrible to break because they don't break. They just chip off or just grab your bit and don't give it back. So we're going to bring the heavy firepower tomorrow. Maybe a sledgehammer too. But here's dad's progress from this side. Yeah, looks quite nice. It's my first time seeing this too. And then here's this bit where seven bricks short because obviously there was a few breakages up there and then we had to take more out of here than we originally thought. So we're going to Warrington tomorrow morning and hope that you just go and have them. What's the button that someone's going to need a 2000 break tomorrow? Yeah, it's better to just go where we know not trying to around all day. Yeah, so you'll probably join us for the journey to Warrington tomorrow. So we'll catch you in the van. Good Saturday morning from the driveway. We're off for an adventure today aren't we? All right, no, we've got to play away from it. We're off to, it used to be called Leak Oncrete, but then it's bought by Hughes Gray, so now it's just a Hughes Gray branch. But it used to be like the brick specialist place for the whole of the Northwest. Then on needed bricks, that's where they went to. And they still have quite a big great yard. And it's the only place we can get all of these. Ibstock tradesmen, buff multis. Popular brick, but no one stocks them. The only other place is where we got them from, which is the brick store in Wiggin, which closed earlier on this Friday and don't open at the weekend. So instead of us waiting until Monday to finish this job, we're just going to nip to Hughes Gray now while the traffic's nice and light. It's actually in Warrington, which is about half hour trek. And then pick up the bricks, finish, I just finished the patching. Alex is going to carry on with that wall. I'm going to finish the block work. And then we're going to get this wall out and get these stills in. Sorry, this steel. This little baby steel. So, right, let's head to Warrington. Biggest and best place to come for bricks. They're generally by discontinued loads as well. So they have a lot of stuff you can't get all of everywhere else. So let's go and get our bricks loaded up. We've got to press play. There we are. Set the camera up and everything. Got the shot and missed the shot. Let's get back. There you go. Catty Brooke tradesmen. Tradesmen buff. Should have copied the London buff. Inferiority break. Half the price. Half the price by the quality. Right, let's get back. We've got one sugar. But we've got no space. We've got no space. Grab the camera and we'll film driving help. That's where you get spares. Do you feel me? Just film it for real. Have your phone. So we've got plenty to do. So let's get cracking. Once I've done that, it boots on and on we go. Right, we're set up. Tools ready. We've, I've got that part set up. Dad has kindly got the dust sheet set up for me on the other side. Mixers in. We may need more sand to find out. But so we've just got that many blocks to do. Ten. Ten blocks. Well, nine brick. Then slow to demolition. A lot of pads. Yeah. It's 10 o'clock so we're having a quick break. We'll set up the strong fat. Yeah. So we'll catch up to break. Probably after 11 now. We've lost hour and a half going for them bloody bricks this morning and we've lost two hours of cleaning that bloody cavity out. We're well behind. We should have already been done within an hour. We've just got to roll with the punch and get on with it. So I've just finished this and finished on it. That. Remember it's probably just four bricks on top of each other. But these are all the damaged bricks around it. So we've actually replaced one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, fifteen bricks have been replaced. And we put one down there as well. So that was a lot of work something to talk about. A million times better. I mean the brickwork on the house is not nice. The brickwork on the extension is not nice. So at least our bit's tidy. But yeah, we're all finished out here. I've put that extra batten on top just to seal the top. I think it's two weeks before the window's ready. So that's all secure. We just screwed a couple of pieces of 3B2 either side. One in there with the joiners and then just nailed them into position. So yeah, I'm finished here. It's all cleaned up. I'm going to go inside now. A lot of work done, which is about six blocks, eight blocks to do, while Alex is brushing down that wall. And then the only thing left to do around here is take that door for the skip. Yes, to the skip. That's where the customer wants it to go. I'll show you why. Well, there's a hinge broke off it for starters. And look at the state of it. Who do you want to buy that and clean it up and reuse it? With a knack of dog flap in the panel. The door's knackered. It's well past it's seized by date. So yeah, it's going in the skip. So there you go. Finished article. As always, a lot more work than it looks. Oh, brick a door up, puddle into it, a bit of wash. It's never that straight forward. Yeah, let's get inside and get it open, Alex. Well, I've just gone to stop the camera. It wasn't going. So sorry about that. I missed that. So brickwork complete inside and outside. Just need to tidy up a little room in this area. And then I'm going back there to help Alex. Alex one, rain zero. I am nice and dry. So it can rain all at once. I'm just going to do the outro out here. So there's the window. The new lintel brought out to the new window height. Let's do that again. New lintel there to match the new window length. All break up a nice brick match. There's the finish result of that little awful patch with the bricks we picked up this morning. God, that does not feel like it was this morning. That feels like the other day now, was it hell? For now, I'll just say thank you all very much for watching.
