 and good morning it is 8 24 21st of April okay what day that's a Wednesday Friday Wednesday apparently it's Thursday is it is it whose moon night yesterday what's moon night oh shite night tell you what one big slab so that's it we're done there we can crack on with the bricklaying bit now we're up to steel's height all the way around now and good morning it is a Thursday half eight yep half eight on Thursday the 21st we would have been here a bit earlier but we forgot the fairwood receipt yesterday so we went to fairwoods today dropped off the trench block and we picked up some more brick because we just needed about 40 more to finish the job typically I took a sidestop had a bit of a fry-up Thursday dad got himself another stamp on his cheeky monkey loyalty card thank you so yeah so the plan is today get as much brickwork as we can do it's only from the most parts four pillars so we shouldn't take three three it's not four one each end in an L one oh yeah oh yeah see it's three yeah so it's only really three pillars two at the end and one L shape thanks to our dad's perspective thank you but yeah and we've got we've got some profile setup so we can just get cracking it's past eight o'clock so we can make some noise gets gonna mix on yeah so we'll see you on the other side once we've got a mix on there we have it one big slab so that's it we're done there we can crack on with the bricklaying bit now so yeah we're gonna get a mix on and get cracking got the profiles up there the profile there profile there so it's just string a line up and get it wiped up so after I've just noticed we need to get give that door a clean because they've got managed to splash underneath plastic so we'll get all that ripped off and give them a clean I get out to clean while I get the mixing so anyway let's get cracking and we're ready to go Rhino stands up one there one there I like to do in this pillar I'm doing this pillar we're gonna leave this end we're just kind of concentrating one side at a time we flip the boards over onto the concrete which are in the way they're protecting the concrete I'll spring in the extra bricks that we've just got from fernwoods mixes ready lines up just a quick one I've checked the gauge on this side and it's 2100 bang on to lintel height this side it's 2110 so when we get a bit maybe 10 15 courses up we'll get the laser out and double check and transfer the level across from one corner to the other and same again on to the truck when we move the profile up next time we'll put the we'll put a felt it mark from we'll pick the the right end and we'll transfer the levels round to follow as I say we've got to get these steels order for over these doors and that's gonna hurt because that that's gone up since we priced them yeah so we're ready to go back in the tool belt it's been a while and Rodion's 11 inch filly Duracourt Campbell and then Alex is on the again Rodion's 10 inch London with the leather handle you wasn't sure about this for first but now he's had a go on it he's made it with it actually like it yeah yeah and then you got the older tied ones with the rubbish end that keeps falling out is the old one yeah so out with the blue and him with the red so yeah let's get cracking well I'll put the thing up a break time as well yeah the what's it called the videos oh oh yeah I just need a timber spot for there I'll please here on this corner rise that board's gonna crack on the edge does with the motor to everyone happy in the comments holes at the same time yes we've got all the cuts from the halves and the pieces all the bits of brick and stuff so they're going down there because in we haven't got a skip getting all the hardcore down there I'll have a stone up after just needs to break on the pipe just double check the line mate before we crack on it's in the right place it's the outside line make sure you're dead online at the top of the brick yeah just follow your arm this door has been straight out my first that door's going out there and these openings are gonna have by falls in him right needs to be 10 mil bigger 10 mil I'll pinch 5 mil as well massive joints though you can take 5 mil back you know the rooms of week the wiggle room you've got trims either side of that can we on quarter to 12 yeah right so we're up to it we've got 11 on after our late start now what happens now is we've got to stop because this pillar at this end that's got a radiator on it which is in there and then these walls now step back so there's extra glass either side of that French door you see that's a lot narrower that one than that one so he's having a little glass panel each side of that on top of here now we don't know the sizes until we speak to the customer but I mean it's gonna be made to work breaks it's gonna either be 450 or 325 so either a brick and a half or two bricks I can't see any bigger being bigger than that because we need decent sized pillars to get a steel over the top interesting fact that's a massive opening and when you look in that hole it's got a an IG lintel over it an actual off-the-shelf lintel stupid money for steel at the moment so yeah at the moment Alex set himself up on that pillar to get that up to level that up while I jump inside and get block work up on the inside pillar by that time customer should be back and we can have a chat with him and then we can drop back on the outside and get this up to the top of that profile at least once we're up to the profile comes off up another's and that'll get us to the top it's it's still easy there's a profile in that corner believe me and tidy edit out my pain of them will eat patterns popping out your morning yeah as you transition right come here and see a bit and we're back what a day what a day Alex is on this pillar this is the only pillar that doesn't work break everything else works break those pillars are gonna reduce now I've just been off into the field with me still so cut all the pieces for this corner so they're all cut yeah yeah as you can see we're making some good progress Dad's put a nice bit of internal work on this this corner I've been on this side with the funny three-quarter cuts yeah so I've decided we'll stay on this side now instead of going back over there since I'm set up here so so as Dad told you before lunch we had to look at the window is get them sorted out and just as we were we swapped ourselves around the customer came back to manage to get that sorted and there you go one second let me just there we go you can see that's where the wind is gonna go and that's it so that are the bit of a dilemma he thought he cut too many airpieces but they're still working so he's done so thank goodness for that using the sponge yeah so we're just gonna keep cracking on like that said hopefully get to the top of this profile that's the goal and just job and knock with this motor so 19 yeah yeah yeah so we'll get you sit back up and see in a sec yeah miss some good progress today I think we're not done yet but but yeah and we're not done yet we've still got some more to to use up but still made some good progress I think we're 19 courses up on these two pillars so we're just debating whether to use the rest of this motor upon this pillar or some more block work we'll forget that in a second but it's been nice to be back on the trial again properly it's been doing this kind of brickwork it's been even longer all the way back to like October so it's been a long time but it feels nice to be back on and there we have it just didn't have enough motor to get it leveled up but it's that bricks on the same course as the rest of them pillars so that's I've had a pretty good day because it was a bit of a late start in the morning but still think we did done pretty well got a nice 19 courses up gonna go to the internal corner set out and got all the bricks look got more bricks loaded up for tomorrow so I'm gonna get tidied up now but you don't need to see that so we'll just we'll just see you tomorrow and here we are it's the Friday not good Friday anymore it's the regular one and today is just gonna be just get it up to get as much as we can done good to definitely get up to lintelite and I think dad needs to get them steels ordered so let's see what times it now half seven yeah so jm should be open now so once we're set up that's gonna get them rung up so we can get them steels ordered we've got the scaffold and the trestles packed up in the back so we'll get them out when we need and yeah we're just gonna crack on today as much as we can done I've already said oh well emphasize it means we're really gonna do it so we'll see you over there dad is kicking up with his new boots what's your verdict of them nice they're not what you wanted but are they all right yeah that's good meanwhile there's other coffers taking up my my leg space and this is usually a rare sight to see in this van both sets so the reason the reason we've got all these is because we the plan is I believe we're gonna get the the scaffold put up on like one of the pillars as we're doing them and then the trestles we're gonna put two in one corner over there and one in the two in the other and try not make an L shape I think that's the plan at least just so we've got more maximum efficiency for getting these getting ourselves lifted up so we're not fiffing around too much I'm gonna get this done as quick as we can all right let's get these GoPro batteries charging that two greens don't have to see that colors plug in radio most important we're gonna start off with some block work yeah because we're practically at a height aren't we we just need a one and a half bricks to go on there yeah we need some blocks yeah my first job is getting some blocks in so see you in a minute right and mix is ready blocks are ready so I'm just gonna get a string line up and get these knocked in battery's gonna last long so quick make it quick there you go Alex has got his up what's up eight yeah yeah so it's eight so there's one more to um yes that's what I'm trying to say that was done yesterday mine's done so the pillars already they just need to cut at each side 150 cut just to bring that up to the level there's a rad going on there that's right that pillar is bigger than that pillar yeah so we're gonna have a quick break and then we're gonna set the trestles up on the outside yes on the outside not over on this job yeah the steels we can't get for two weeks so it's get up to level and then mothball it go find something else to do for a few days hopefully we can try and push it forward and we'll just have to pick them up in the van it's not a long way we'll just have sticking out a meter at the back so yeah we'll head for break now and head for break now and we'll get the trestles gonna have to break here we have it as you were listening in the time lapse trestles are up loaded ready to go so everything's loaded up to up to a steel height now Alex is ready gonna line across oh yeah that's the other thing laser level set up we're gonna get the little level that end and transfer it onto the profile and transfer it onto that side of the house that end with a felt tip pen so we can't lose the blue marks we've got a felt tip in my box that Alex gave us at A&E still got Alex don't show the Alex at A&E we still got his felt tip if you have a look in the profile bucket there's a little thin felt tip getting so you can see you just about see a little arrow and we've also got that marked out on our profile there see if I can get you a better look at it just the felt tip line and obviously so that's where we that's well it's all we can work up to until we manage to get them steels and there is little height these two sides a few days you can probably hear the grind in the back still so here they're still sore in the back dad's getting some a splits cut for here because as you can see it works four bricks so a block and a brick sized piece that's gonna get them cut now and we're gonna get the blocks down here jump on that side get that side done and then I think that is all we can do at the time here I may be running I'm sure that'll correct me that's the time we've got and we just get out of the wind yeah very satisfying to see the rental height and obviously when we do get back eventually we're gonna get five more courses on time welcome back it's actually about half past two not for a while we're getting on Alex is going around getting that last cup for the last course in peace in and the top block ready for the steel that's the you always put the full block on the top to accept the steel same there he's gonna do that corner for me he's doing off the hop up from the inside I'm currently finishing this end that's it then it's ready for steel which at the present time we don't know when it's coming could be next week could be the week after but I've explained to customer and he's fine with that he's not bothered as long as it comes so I'm gonna make sure we live everything tidy today take away a lot of the stuff we don't need probably take that stuff with us leave the trestles and planks maybe even set them up along this side yeah we're getting there so that's the height that's the height steels on there and then we've got a five-course band around the top the reason there's five courses to get over the the roller shutters that are on the house there and there so that'll take the roof just above them because the roller shutters are staying inside for security we're having bifolds on the outs no doors are getting moved inside to the outside and it's gonna be bifolds on the inside so they can open up the inside so that's a quick recap I'll put you on time that's why I just finished this last bit of a corner and then I'm gonna have a good tidy up ready to leave the job for a few days a bit sad really I'd rather come back I'm wondering just crack on and get it finished but this is what it is steels busy and the driver down so we'll get there in the end and we're back probably about half past three now so that's it we're up to steels height all the way around now and as I said I don't think we can get the steels for at least a week to ten days this is gonna be one beautiful extension when it's done Alex's pillar they're all done by himself the good thing I suppose is it's gonna have a week for the motor got full of these steels on top I've just finished that off now now finally pass that bloody pillar so it's nice and straightforward now but all good down there so you've got your doors coming to here with windows at the side that door make sure I'm pointing the right place that door is going there that stain as it is no other windows because that's quite a big door that and then again I've probably told us already but we get the steels across and then we've got five course band to go around it's tied all together and then it's a lightweight roof on the top and it's actually gonna have a box cutter across the back there and then it's gonna have apex at the front there so that's gonna look really nice can't wait to see that yep so you go plan is now get rid of that scaffold we don't need that now good tidy up drop the trestles and then set them back up again along there so extend them along there thinking as I'm talking now we might need that to put the return on the trestles a we're not doing this over and we're gonna make sure it's all face all done face work we can do the block work over and it'll actually be one course of block over the steels because you've got this the actual rsj with a course of block on top so I'm thinking of doing loads of cuts I don't think I do need a load of cuts so I'll leave the cuts for now I've got just one cut to do for each one of these each windage arm needs a 140 cutter just to level it up now we don't need cuts across the top the steels are gonna be the cut so I've just where I've just drilled that hole again I didn't need drilling because it's gonna be a the steels gonna be 150 and then it's gonna be a full course over the top but whatever happens we'll get it right we'll get sources profiles staying here we don't need that the other job I think we're gonna do a garb wall and repairing a skip damage wall and wicking choose do anything and then we'll play it by ear from there hopefully they get the steel ready for us early so I'll shut up now and then we'll see any bit stay on time that's how we get sorted and there we have it Friday half four we've done as far as we can do so big steel going in there big steel going over there and then five round the top this side's all set up unloaded and our trusty brick jackets to protect everything from the weather so yeah that's us so we'll be back in a week or so
