 Big old blocks then, but as you can see it's a bit out of plumb. Red come not your blocks. They're all tooled up. Hello. Good. Thursday Alex. Thursday the 17th of August. Another new job. We sort of started a job yesterday. A dig in a concrete and then we're dropping on this and then we're dropping back on that. So it's a bit backwards and forwards a bit. Sort of dodging the weather. So this is our job for today. He's demolished this and hope it fits. And that 8 ton skit looks a lot bigger now than looking at it again. But yeah, this is coming down. We're going to check the foundation. Possibly take the foundation up and re-concrete it. We'll see when we get to that. I don't think he wants the copings. I think we're putting a flat. Like the ones in Wigan. Flag. Flat. Yeah, well weathered aren't they? So yeah, big old blocks then. But as you can see it's been out of bloom. And cracked right down the middle. So it's time to go. So I'm going to set this camera up. I'm going to get my boots on. Don't fancy them dropping on my foot. And then I'm going to crack on. And today is Super Trail Day. So it'll be interesting to see how that goes today. We're keeping an eye on the social media to see how that's going. So let's get you set up somewhere. And start making a mess. Right, let's start off with a bit of normal action for a change. So yeah, this thing's going to come down. It's a little unorthodox isn't it? What? It's a little unorthodox. It's jammed in so it doesn't lose it. So what do you mean? You need to start using the mic more. Because I keep getting complaints about the sound. You do it at the beginning then. Grow up. I was told to grow up. I was told to clean up after that. What's going on? You've done anything? What are you saying? The pre-cash come goes down. They're just weathered. To smash these up in the skips to make sure we get them all in. We might have to smash these to make sure we get them all in the skips. You know, where they meet you get gobbled up. So you've got like a gobbler of water locking it on together. So, just there you go in. I need to get the new blocks ordered. I need to get a skipper to do the job. And bricks and blocks. Yeah. I need to get everything ordered. Yeah. Right, time lapse now because it's time for the radio. So, see you in a bit. The little shovel back. NHS England has come. Right. Just discovered that the receiver that plugs into the camera got dropped on the floor before. I think it's still working. But it's showing it's shown working on the camera screen but there's no screen on the receiver. So hopefully we can carry on using it without the receiver screen which isn't that important. So those we're up to. I'm going to have a quick break now. Alex is struggling today. I think he's got a pretty bad cold. Science isn't all that which isn't good. No one likes working with a headache. So there we're down. That's the last course. So we're down to the foundation. She's in there somewhere. And we've got plenty of room in the skip. Alex has been stacking it nice and neat. And these things are heavy. Probably heavier than a trench block. There's a lot of concrete in them. Plus the mortar attached to them. We're getting them for half way and there's plenty of room in the skip. So time for a quick break. And then back at it. Bit of time left so we can listen to the radio. So we'll see you after a brew. This is tough going. I can't explain how these blocks are. I can't listen. All I can do is knock them over. But so far, we actually can't believe that there's no... Just get that bar made and just stab it down there. That massive heavy wall is leaning because... Can you hear that? Gives a push out. See that white mark? Done. That is soil. Six foot bar. So we thought it had no foundation but luckily we've found a bit of foundation. So we're all right. But some people would dig that and if that stayed in the ground they'd just have seen the concrete on top of it. That's the first bit of... I'll just show you this. Put it on Instagram. Plump. Touches at the top. 90mm off at the bottom. So 90mm out of plump. Leaning towards this extension next door. So it's really... It's not our customs problem because it's falling their way and it's like... It's a shared wall. This is very weird. So I'll also speak to the customer about what he's doing with his floor. And I'm pretty sure he's getting it redone because he sees that the porcelains are at the back. The extension's all done. Something he's working his way for. New gates. So this stuff's coming up anyway. We can take a load up and make it easy for digging the foundation. Redigging the foundation. I'm dredging by that. It's going to be an easy dig than yesterday. Just soil. This is the magic gate just hanging in the middle. So yeah, we're going to get this down and we're going to... I think he's coming back at dinner. So we can have a chat with him at dinner and see what he wants to do. Because we don't really want to be bedding all this stuff back if it's getting redone. So we can just stone it up after we've finished. A few batches of stone in it. A bit of an old team. So this man's been right through because he's not well today. It's all a workout for him anyway. Which he likes. So yeah, that's the first one that's come up. Took something up with it. Which is that. Everything else. It's been promising nothing. Straight into the soil. I can't believe that. I can't believe he stood in so long as it has. So yeah, I'll put you in any position for the time that someone will carry on. The mic's playing up. There you go. It's gone. Well, bar one course that's got to come out yet. But we need to redevolve that before we get the last course out. Alex is doing really well. But the last few have come out with a bar. Just brute force. Smack the bar in the hole and give wobble it. So yeah. That's it. So we should have it all out and move to for dinner. And then we can start digging in this afternoon. I'm judging by what's underneath there. It's going to be an easy dig. Gosh, they said that. Touch wood. Yeah. I'm going to change the bathroom this camera because I'm looking like it's going to be 21%. So, there you go. That's the only tie. This angle bracket. That was it. The only thing to tie it in. I don't know how many ties you're putting in. There's no foundation under it. It's going to move. I'm pretty sure that gate stopped it moving because it's just leaning against that gate. It'll be hard to edit. That was a long clip. There you go. Quarter past 12. That was hard to note at the time. It was doubly hard for Alex. He's done well this morning. Apart from about a dozen I've seen in Paris. Alex has moved every one by hand. And he's not well. He's done well. So, now we know there's no foundation. I'm going to take as much of this as we like. I'm going to take a load up and start digging. I'm going to just leave the flags in and just dig under the flags to get the spread on the concrete. That's it. Power tools are done with. Well, they were done with a while ago. And back to spades. After lunch. See you in a bit. Back. Alex just turned the radio back up. Sorry, Jack. Clive, about a few minutes. Okay. Alex has recovered a bit now. He was flagging a bit after that morning. So, we spoke to Matt the customer. Everything's sorted. We know our sizes. We know our heights. This is all coming out. All this. I'm going to have one block return. This is going to be hidden behind the hedge and then you can get double gates across the whole length. I think he said eventually I think that's been future-proofed against those toilets. Like a small extension in this area. But for now you want to see a double gates cross here. So, I've worked out for a cube of concrete that'll get us 350 down. 350 wide. And 50 wide. Well, a 140 wide wall. So the plan today is get this blitz, get this all dug out. I'm pretty sure it's got a hell of a slope going that way. So, we'll get the laser out. Check what we're doing. We'll just set the laser level and dip off the laser. And that's it. All this stuff that's coming out. Sorry. Oh, I keep pointing. I've got the mic in my hand. So all that stuff you see along the floor there. Because it's been redone this is just lash it. Get rid. So that's ideal for us. That can go in the bar. So yeah, it's dig, dig, dig. And I'm never going to attempt to get concrete here today. I'm just going to try and get it here tomorrow. Because we're only up the road. So, as soon as they say they're only coming, we can come down and meet them. And get that sorted. So yeah, let's get this thing dug out. It's currently, what time is it at? Half one. So, half one. Right, let's get stuck in and get out of here. I think we're just going to make this. The camera never picks it up really. We're coming up full level at the top. We've got our greedy boards, greedy stones in. So we can fully get another couple of foot in this. And we've got about two thirds of the way across now. So, fingers crossed. It's about 20 past three now. We're both done. But we've got to just keep pushing and get this finished. Just gone four, hasn't it? I've stripped that ply off this gate. And I've found out why it's got ply on it. Well, that didn't turn much knocking down, did it? That's a close one. Well, there you go. Because we've got a dig and come round the corner there. So we've probably got about three foot of dig to do. And now I've got all to get shut off. So right, let's get rid of this and get that dug and go on. There you go. You'll have to bear with me with my voice. It's a bit raspy. But there you go. That is the wall taken down. And a foundation dug. Hopefully concrete will be here tomorrow. But it wasn't a tough day. But it was tough because what I've got going on is tough with Dad's hit. But other than that, it was a pleasant day today. Excuse me. But yeah, that went pretty well. The whole wall was down for lunch. And this was just the rest of it. Into the radio. The wind's probably knackering my voice up. But oh yeah. We've got the piece to show you. There's the foundation. Foundation. Probably a piece of toast just thicker than that. So I won't end this video off yet because we'll be playing finish this video off when the concrete's in. So we'll catch it for the concrete maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after, we'll see. Either way, see you when the concrete's coming. Get off me with that buddy. Oh yeah. You got one piece? Looks, I just had the neighbor come out next door asking how long it's all. That's a good plan. What are you doing with the car? I'm pushing the back of the luggage. I can't do that. Yeah, go. Not a go-to. Not a go-to. Filming yourself? Yeah, you can do that. One of your lasses, isn't it? There we go. It's in. That was quick. That was quick. And it was a cube, which is always a relief when you get me some right. So I just need to get a bucket of water, give next door's path a bit of a clean, tamp it up, check it for level, but I think it's pretty close. So that's one nice solid foundation now. And then I've got a beep that once, which is a shocker. So I'm going to get cleaned up here and head back up to Alex, get a bit of grinding done and then we can head off and get the materials for the other job for tomorrow. So luckily it's not rain yet. It's supposed to rain at 10 o'clock, but they've got it wrong again. So I'm going back to the other job, but you'll see us back here. Who knows when, but we'll be here to build the wall and come back. So see you then. Now we're done. So that was all set for the next stage. See you then.
