 oh right and good morning we're on the we're actually as you can see it's very tough mortar now actually how can you see right it's a little update if you can't even hear me yeah it is tough mortar so that's what stadas good morning it is a Saturday morning at the Saturday of this jubilee weekend or whatever yes that yeah third of June and this is actually the start of a bigger project here eventually so today we're doing a lintel you guessed it so we're doing this one today and then eventually we're doing the ones up there is that one being done too the whole lot so this whole backs being done eventually but since we're in between concrete's jobs on the extend on one of the extensions with customers kind of let us come over and start one of the lentils so that just getting the the dust sheet ready now again kindly provided by the customer since we forgot but we're all set up to go I think we've got got our power got the receiver ready got the accros mixers ready some cements all over here's our lintel a good old angle iron got an insulation yeah I think I think we've got everything this time which makes a nice change yeah thankfully so well you know the song and dance a lintel job so I get you set up and let's just pray that this mortar's a nice and soft unlike the last one we did don't hold me breath doesn't look good right you can hear me quick update as you can see dad's in there with the reciprocal now but unfortunately it is tough mortar so what he's had to do is he's gonna cut through it with the grinder so he's got the bulk of it out and he's gonna try and get the rest of it with the reciprocal so in that way we're not knackering the blade so much but thankfully it's not as hard as the last lintel job so it just pops off but it doesn't help trying to get them out in the first place so it's just a quick update for you I'll let you here this one's putting over fight so we know when we come back for this one bringing this still so because I still so I'll give us a hundred mil cut so it's gonna be dusty but if we don't use a still so it's gonna take us all day just to get the brick out it's a pretty sure it's sand and cement or it's very strong line mix so it pops off the bricks for Alex cleaning up but it's very hard to get out so I'm just showing you this we always go three courses up so we're 150 above the well more than 150 below the lintel and look at this in the in the cavity I've not seen any sign of a tray yet but in yeah I don't it's been like there's a hole hole there where a waste pipe used to come out so obviously when that's been punched through all the shites fell down the cavity so yeah we've gone through with electric grinder which takes you probably two-thirds the way through the rest of it's just needs popping out now and we can start once I get another couple of bricks out we'll get the props up and then get the rest out and as usual it'll probably be about din time by then and then get it back in this afternoon so I'll stick you back up here on time that's again while we get this get a bit more of this out yeah catching a bit our two props are in that sides out you can see there's a RSJ on the other window I think there's an RSJ there this window don't know what we've got once to get all this muck out I'll have a look I'll probably just go over the top of this tray it's a bit too many tray so I'm not sure if it's working or not but it probably is it's not stopped a little little rust in there good old rust so yeah it's getting off at 10 o'clock it's gonna go for a quick break we've just got this section to take out then we couldn't have done this one without power tools the motor's quite tough so I've had to grind it then drill it and then rip sip or saw it so it's putting up a fight but once you get that top top joint out everything just comes out nice see it's all quite loose so usual script have a break get back break work out get everything cleaned up and start putting everything back together again so we'll see after break time and it's after break we well we dad's almost got all the bricks out now both that cruiser and I'm sure showing you already but just a little chunk left let me hop up here because I want to show you this cavity how's that it's a bit of a disgrace shall we say is that is that meant to be the tray so there's the crusty ass tray there you go and then there's a lint underneath so needless to say it's in dire need of a change and if that's what that length was like so good progress is being made thankfully just those those bottom two courses the most is coming out lovely so again again most of them ready now so so yeah I'll pass you up to dad's and you can set you up finally come to a rough gauge of how we want our mixers now because we used to just do half a mix and we'd have tons left over which would just be at like they're like two or three bags just more so now I'm going to get a little bit more this is a 2100 lintel is one big bag of fairwood sand because the big ones are 40 kilogram bags plus a tiny bit more and probably half of that bag since as you can see this is kind of a demolished and a lot of the cement's gone so half of that which will make it up to a third ish and then that sand febs in for easy mixability and better use and yeah so I'll get you set up here so I'll do that dad's almost finished so catching a minute there you have it that was a nice quick one but he messy as well that's cement bag it's evil it's split cement everywhere on me but that's roughly about how much we'll need and I put a little bit more sand in that but that's surprisingly all we need for that because it's just a few bricks and see how dad's getting on how's it looking bit cleaner is the well there you go there's the tray beautiful let's have a look at this little bit rusty isn't it yeah all it takes is a few spots to ruin the brickwork above and as as weird as it sounds it's nice to see a knack of lintel like this because it means this is no longer going to be in the house it's gonna be a nice proper galvanized steel one going in so it's always satisfying to see see these come out at least anyway but all right is that you done then with the bricks T-shaped oh yeah never seen one of them before nail it on yeah that's another thing as well we we have our cavity to trade in properly as well so that means you do with the power tools isn't it happy days so I'll clean these up well dad has a sort out and I'll get you set up yeah I think it's popped yeah so popped do I feed it out your way that might lift it back hold your fire one second let me just move mine can it spin anymore right have you got that so dad finishes off but I'll show you this is why we do these jobs look at the state of that but now to some people that might not look like much but if you look at that that rust there that's all that needs to raise the brickwork and when it raises the brickwork I'm sure that's told us a million times as we start to crack everything and get all the ugly cracks above your windows it's most likely because your lentils have rusted start to push your brickwork up so and if you look here there's that and that's what's going in so the bricks you can sit on there nicely with galvanized steel so won't rust that's half the reason when we do these replacements because we're replacing with better quality lentils that galvanize so they won't be rusting and they'll just the last way longer than their predecessors they've done the job for the longest time but around about now all these lentils are starting to rust around and start lifting stuff up that's why we've been on so many little jobs but there you go just a little why we do it mixers ready so once dad's ready get the tray in get the lentil in these bricks in and it's always nice and satisfying when all the power tools are done with because now they're all packed away some damn course there but I that's it here we go what time we're now half 11 I'm guessing and we're all ready to go everything's out everything spotless I've just spent a good half an hour cleaning up there in that cavity that was solid from lintel to about there all that section there so I don't know what's been going on up there it looks like yeah if you look at next door looks like an extra wind has been put in yeah it looks like a new window that yeah if you look at next door there's two windows on the back this one this house got three so when they put this window and they made a right shitty mess in the cavity so we've got the bulk of it out so not they weren't suffering from damp but they definitely won't be suffering from that now if you're doing this you've got it opened up when you see that take it out don't just leave it because it could come back to bite you that could start leaking after and it looks like it's your fault then plus it's just good practice to keep the cavity clean I always do that I always keep the cavities clean as I can as far as I can reach it so we're all set here now I took that half out because it was face was cracked so what I'm gonna do is spin it cut it down spin it put it back in then we're ready for lintel and cavity tray cavity tray is just going to get sealed and nailed on to the thermolite blocks 70s houses but it's got thermolites on it so ahead of its time and yeah that's it I'm not sure if that's called what called a boot lintel that Martin goes on about in the comments a lot I'm guessing that's what it is looks like a fence post but it's not so yeah we can't go into that so we're gonna go above it and we can't put an upstand on our tray here because our full bricks here so we're gonna have to do something with it let's get cracking nails brilliant little nails then meant for a gun but these are just on the floor on site so we always just pick them up put it in the bag you start right to the end to the cavity nice to tuck back in this is gonna be stuck back with silicon pointed back in so it's all nice and smooth and a bit of a corner up ready for running in trays in sealed gonna put some extra insulation there where all the shite was blocking the cavity and then a strip across there as you see we've already insulated behind the lintel so we're gonna get a quick turn now and get it all back put back in so catch after dinner three o'clock and after the last little job we did which is an absolute horrendous horrendous job we've actually had a straight forward it started off putting up a fight but with the right tools and get sorted so all done new lintel as you can see all re-sealed didn't need a trim on this because it's in the windows obviously the windows need a clean they're just the dusty but they are clean we've had them code with the sheet took the three courses out the cavity was plugged up as usual but all the way up here as well so all that's been cleared out extra insulation put in new lintel new new week events which are there when people say where are your events there's actually seven next job is this one which we're gonna come back and do on Monday so we're gonna head off to Berry's first thing Monday and pick the lintel up for that might pick all the lintels up while we're yeah we need another trestle four extra planks for the extra width because it's a 2.7 lintel and we need an extra acro and we're gonna bring strong boys in for that so we have three strong boys so yeah all done the straightforward one so yeah we might film the others I mean if anything happens differently we'll we'll see anyway right
