 Dad's got the sand ready. I have to have a bit of a plover as usual. Yeah, a bit of a plover. So you have two sands in there but it's slightly bigger in that block way but that'll give room to pass the board. Yeah. It's really wet smell a bit. It's really wet. Morning we're back here on Saturday. I'm afraid it's Saturday as well. Since we're close to the spa it's a bacon butty every day here so it's one happy owl. So we're back on the porch obviously. And here we have it. The concrete is all set. Nice and ready to work on. We've knocked off the shuttering because the concrete's grabbed them all so there's no chance of getting them back but we can just get buried. Dad's got the sand ready. I have to have a bit of a plover as usual. Yeah a bit of a plover but one story short we had to go back to scam then back to onskirk for nothing. But anyway we're going to make that time back now. Getting the bricks loaded up now. First time using these brick tongs in quite a while but yeah so the plan today is get this up to slab height which I think Dad said is six brick and two in a bit blocks. I think he said I can't remember fully but that sounds about right. Then we've got our lintels to go over the pipe gaps and we're also going to try and take out this little storm porch door because obviously the floor level is going to run in from there so that's the plan. Let's get on it. Let's get this up. Okay so our porch is 2.1, okay 14-20. So if you put that, oh we're doing a 50mm cavity so the wall's going to be 250. So we need to set that to 250. You like this way 3.1. That's that. You mark both of those. So there's our two outside lines. Now this line will just do this thing because there's no brickwork going against the wall here. That's a double edge. There's a camera in the way. This one. So we're definitely going up and down which is good. I'm guessing 2, 4, 6, 7, go 12. It's not going to be 12. We've got a line in now. This is where we can nail our profile up now, follow this line. So 14-20, just check. Okay that's fine so we can measure off the bottom. Sometimes if the wall's at a plumb coming this way and you measure off the bottom then the top of the porch will push the brickwork off your brickwork so it won't fit at the bottom. 14. 14-20. 14-20. Take the flag that we put the spread on concrete. Same again over here, 14-20. Comes about there. You want to take on that mate. You diagonal. The X2 button's squared. So that's 4.401. And then you've got 1.420. 1.420. That's right, isn't it? 14-20 squared is 2.0164 plus 4.41. So you're adding the square of that to the square of that which gives you that, which is 6.42264. And then once you've got that total, you go to that one. You see that one, okay? That's the square root button. Click that. That gives us 2.535 which is, that's our diagonal. So corner to corner that should measure that. So let's do that now. 2.535. Okay, I'll stick it on that wire mate as low as you can. We'll give our three courses up. Same again, you try that one. Of course these bricks aren't, it's actually perfectly straight up. You can always check these and we'll get the course down. 2.535, yeah. Mark your corner before you use it. Same again here. Mark your corner. Then work set out. Now, because it's so small, we can do our levels with the 6-foot level. Just put your camera in there now. That's our new floor level. So we're bringing that floor level through the whole porch. So this is coming out and we're raising our DPC level up to the, which is, is it that long? It's just two of them, isn't it? It's probably more the actual floor. Yeah, but it's for, I mean that door's staining, so we don't have to be able to spot it on the floor. We just need to get our DPC levels at home 2.344. That gives us 60 damp. So our new damp is there. And we'll be building a step to getting it out. So if you hold that, if you hold that on the, on your damp level. Yeah? I'm coming, this is a bubble for me. I think I'm okay, I can see it. So that's 450, 445. So that's low by 20 mil. So we can pick that up in the first couple of courses. So there's our marks to work off. These two lintels are going to go right through there. And then, so we've got our little grill, setting out them, got our walls marked, and we've got our levels done. Mixing, so let's get cracking. Get these corners set up and then have a brew. The profile, the, one of the fence board we use. Oh yeah. Can I get a coffee out with you please mate? Thank you. Big bed because the concrete is a bit low, but the big bed, so it doesn't get too bad. So there's our floor level, which looks very high. But it's not, it's the level that helps. And then yeah, six is down. So there's gonna be two course blocks on the inside. But the door stops up here. It's just a return. It's just where the cavity wall returns and the rest of its frame. So there's just one skin there for the flap slot to go to. And then block work around there. This profile is gonna be more involved because we've got the lintels in here. Which we're gonna have a go out after the break. And that's just making a brew. So I'm gonna joint this cone up, transfer everything over to this side. Yeah, I'm to the, to the brick. To be fair though, they do look like they get bigger here, so. I'll just follow what's there for now. This is not, this is the only brick that's, it's the tier, isn't it, so. Yeah. And this part's still underground, so. It's still the practice one. I've got two bolts. What for some of my bricks now? Put that back over it. Okay, do a bit. Raise them because I don't want it to sit too much around. Okay. Right, I made it. I've got it. These are gonna sink in now. How much is that? $2.50. I'll try to upside them. It wants to go in a bit. Hey. Lift it. Sink in the mat. What we're doing, we're pushing it even worse. Right, that's the way we want it to be. Okay. Okay. It's gonna sink even more when you put the lintels on top of it. Not when I put a bit of brick on the lintels, it's just stretching it. My side doesn't matter. It sinks. It's got brick on it, isn't it? That ends us. Right, 10 to 12. Alex is just running the front thing, which has got a piece in it. I could piece it side three-quarter for him, so just to make sure I get that in the middle. Nice and uniform. There's the lintel setup. Got the $2.50 set well into that little pad in the corner. And then we've got that onto that lintel across onto the other side. And then we've got another one to cut up there for the inside skin, which we'll do it done after then. Here's the lintels. And it's all set out all the dimensions right, all the levels right. And that's our slab level. It's looked quite high, but I'd say it's matching now. There'll be a step going in, don't worry. Yeah, there's a step going in. So when we complete this slab, we'll complete this area here, so we can put a little, probably just a 3B2 on brick from there. And that's it. If we do have to make it a step bigger, we've just got to build into the slab to see what's next step. So there's the pre-coated, as you can see there, that's under the door. That's done. Yeah, so Alex's running the front here and I'm going to jump on the side. We've just got a broomage, so I think we'll have an early dinner. What do you think? So we are going to sprinkle it. OK. So we've dropped back on after half a quick dinner. What time is it? I don't know if it's closing the radio, isn't it? I've got to have a GoPro button. There it is. Oh, that's great. There you go. That is our new floor level, DPC and floor level, as you can see. It's below the original. This is coming out, not today though, because I've got a Recipo, so, oh, no blade. It's no blade. And the customer's rather have this in over the weekend, because I'm not here tomorrow. Because once this is out, it's just the look on the house. I've said maybe get a just a dead look on it for now. It's going to be here probably a week, a bit longer before it's fitted. But anyway, the floor, you can't really tell if it's unfilmed. The floor is lift. It's got a spirit level out, please. Got a massive crack in the middle of it, and it drops either way. You know, big enough. Four foot's all due. That's all. So if we put it in the middle, it's in the wonk a bit, which isn't a problem, but we'll just have to do it with a new slab. So, because of that, I'm going to take all this up, and it'll give us room to get our insulation down and draining. This has got to come off. We can come up to here with our slab. So we need to get this down to 225, so we can get the insulation and the concrete in there. So all this can be broken up and thrown in here. We've got plenty of room to get rid of it, because we've got to come up to the one block down, so we've got all that to build up. We've got all the cleaning stuff we dug out there to put in. That can go in later on, but we'll get this stuff in first. Yeah, I'll actually load it out there. There's a hundred bricks to go on this side, and this side is just a 270 nib. Lift that block, please, mate. So the 270 nib is slightly bigger than our block work, but that'll give room to pass the board. So let's just stick it. There's our nipping principle. So we've got a window frame, door frame, and a bit of rain. Window frame, 200mm door frame, and then that. That's how it works. So yeah, I'll put it in town after I break this floor if you've dropped it in this hole. I'll tell you what, I don't think I'm chuffed with that, are you? I didn't even do any of that and I'm chuffed with it. Seven times four is 28, isn't it? Yeah. Three blocks short. That's good news, I thought it was shorter than that. Just pick them up from home. Yeah. Well, there you go. So, as Dad said before, that floor was terrible, so that's all been buried in here. So you close them up, you can see the whole thing's damp. Yeah. It's really wet. It smells wet. It's really wet. Yeah. When the doors come out, we can sail right through. Happy days. So we've took that slab up, used it as a hard core, so we're almost done for hard core now, but the floor's ready for the back and the blind. And we used every last bucket of that stuff we dug up, and it's come up pretty nice. Again, we're almost there. Just to the top of the first block, isn't it? Yeah. It's the one with the slab, 125 insulation. Beautiful. So, that's us for today though. Well, us for today and tomorrow. So we're going to be back here on Monday to get this slabbed up concrete, concrete in this slabbed up, isn't it? Slabbed up, tamped up, and... We'll start the brickwork then. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So Dad's going to load out some brick while I do some tidying up, but... On Tuesday, if everything works well, slabbing brickwork will be almost done. So Tuesday, we'll do the blockwork inside in the morning and then in the afternoon. Take that down. But for now, we'll see you on Monday.
