 27th of November Alex had a baptism of fire yesterday breaking out this wasn't fun black motor everything was covered in black obviously including those like a pair of coal miners got 32 courses off the ladder we're getting a proper scaffold up next week but for today I'm going down the back doing the back section there cross the cross that extension and this is Alex's little project for today it's gonna take the arch out all the brickwork out to that and then rebuild it we can't get a perfect match on the bricks but we can get them sort of a close-ish obviously you're gonna get a perfect match on them but they'll look better than that when it's done and then the copies come out of there so we've got all like here ready got our bricklayer ready so just gonna set a little scaffold up and then this one's gonna be Alex's video today because I want to be around the corner so I'll leave you to it right I'm filming today right okay just there yeah looking a bit tired that blade now fell to like six mil segments ready for a new one you'd see it's still Christmas are you high enough how would you want the on the platform careful you're gonna cut into that brick right blade straight start again here start here start there that's it now work back see that's it I've come down your heart now what I'm saying is don't worry about overrunning into the arch brick right otherwise just your cut will be too shallow it goggles them but they fog up quick because there's no ventilation on them let it go into the into the soldier brick as well so you go deep enough in the bricks out just go just go flat under the bed pop it up okay that taking your halves out now probably should come out in his own dust has gone put your glasses back on oh yeah did I take it off there because there was a piece of brick behind it as well and just blown all the insulation in my eyes alright so your glasses I've got them this is Alex's first go on this I usually do all this before hey have you not a full window have you not a window but a wall remember sure yeah sure a project this now it's kind of a piece up in the middle of it because there's a piece of the house as you can see you thought it'd be nice to torture me hey you thought it'd be nice to torture me yeah what I always do on the two then is you start from the top and way way down because if you start at the bottom you take the bottom to the route as you're working above it there's a chance the pressure can snap it there's less chance of snacking than one above then there's the one below so you always take you to the top down the one the big the full bricks coming out as well just smack the hell out there as well the full brick underneath that's coming out to your full brick as well tough pretty common please that piece of pop out now keep using your hammer I want to try and get this quote post 11 but what the hell so nearly lunch time but it's finally out bloody pain in the arse because of these and returns on the cavity you're half of my body bonded in so you had to get at them with the brick hammer yeah very tough bricks as you can see in the video the bully breaker had a hard time getting through them but and because of them return bricks as well there's there was no insulation in here as you can tell in the crap there's hardly anything it was like a patch there and then if you look down there you can see nothing that's all that's for we've got two sheets we should be enough I should hope it's enough to get that in so we're just gonna get the bricks now aren't we go get the bricks and that's when I get started I'm replacing these as well there was some bricks just putting crap please so they're getting fixed all right see you in the next bit ten ten of them are all good good my son won't like it so what's the very least all right that's jm sorted it's a 20 year old kickboxer all right I'll mess with him then that's jm sorted our lintels that's our lintels order for tomorrow garage conversion tomorrow I think you're talking to me garage conversion tomorrow so they're getting them cuffers now are we nipped to fail to get that sand and cement for today and tomorrow so if you watch the last one video you recognize this journey because we didn't know was a direction this is great we avoid like the place it's too expensive Hodgson's we need to pop in there on the way back because it's it's Friday so they're open they're on the way back you better hope you go don't message you asking for a sponsorship yeah look back on your video look this is used to go around here now you have to turn it build the brand new road so I've probably be a substation for the electricity or gas a better moment you can get on me to watch Mandalorian by the way must be a good bunch of them that out look how busy it is I'm just gonna say that people say it's like one of the best Star Wars things have been out in one episode we're directing this one day for only the one who made the soccer right and here we are again back and forwards we're getting for me a sand bricks bricks you got them might have to go to use great yeah too expensive there's only three bags to build this on there I have to tell them how much we need we've got all the points into a garage conversion so we need it at least while we're here today seven it's not just worth getting a ton bag now let's get where you put it moving it we could just get them three for now no that's not we need more for tomorrow no it's on its own what it could be no plastering sand is it I can tell it says on it plaster so back to huge gray so well pride yeah maybe added that bit out points down there you see there's next to nothing in this bloody yard spoils it trying to get some stocking on the road big drops that what's in there could be empty could be full of I don't know before the government speaking last night boys John for a lot it's weird stopping to jump down that's gonna come out on the main road I think that's probably gonna link with that road red river state yeah yeah a new guard for the broken grinder last time was going to get a two-foot level slight hiccup that turned into almost a disaster we went to go get the bricks bit the bullet discontinued discontinued bricks we spent a bit of time looking for anywhere that would do them until we found out until we found out they discontinued and just got some identical ones just found in the corner yard just took the way out the way so we've dodged a bullet there we spent a lot of time looking but we've got some for now finally quick update at what time is it about three o'clock so we're not got much light left I need to get up there and give my hand but I'm just finishing clear finishing that bit of grinding and we just tidy up because we're not here over the weekends we need to get a bit tidy Alex is doing well there the bricks are like 70 mil just just a bit smaller than the house but once once it's all pointed together it'll feel a little bit nice and obviously took a window out and you end up with a piece like that which is nothing we can do about we've just got a roll with it it still looks better than it did so I'm gonna get up there and actually carry on on time lapse this is the points and Joe have been doing for the last 12 days all finished now all done 53 square meters it's tidy up time today that's where the window was that's been on our Instagram over to make the set and a few other bricks to patch up so I'm doing so what I'm doing at the moment is whether sailing it with the very poor bricks and the poor as we looked at 241 we're just giving it a quick dose of the stuff just goes goes in that sprayer just spray it on so straight in just gives the air brick that bit of protection because it's such a takes such a little weather the great scarf of that and then once I've finished that bit which could clean up got the jet wash this is the pattern so it's back to how I found it give everything a good clean priorities yeah done the back as well re-pointed I've just resealed it now and then replaced three tiles that broke but still another two broke but we can't go to the ties to after Christmas I'll just take you up we're down on the first lift got down as this left last night yeah see that's been done so the waters that's an old job from about seven years ago probably longer jimneys and anyone who knows home skirt could recognize the church the water tower that's where I used to live and then my mate Andy's coming to sort the roof out that needs replacing couple of tiles need replacing and he's doing doing the air face aboard I think he said they've got 20 mil stuff on which is too thick so he's lost the overhang so this is all getting replaced I'm not sure the timbers coming off but obviously ideally this temple come off so that's all getting done while the scaffolds up there's our brick work actual pikes are solid solid nine inch as you can tell by the headers English galmore bond so this is all treated now down to that window so I'm gonna go down now and get the rest done and start start cleaning up for this heavy rain come made up with it couldn't get any the rake stabiliser bars in don't know what they call so there's a couple of sure yeah never seen these before he's anchored it with them with those eyes on each end that's ankle the whole scaffold solid job they I can see it beading on the brick work it's been rained on overnight that's all nice to see of it now joints rough all bricks so it got the old teaspoon again but it's got a lovely finish put on it I think the joints would have gone in a bit too deep and then my weather struck points is not pretty so I think that's come up really nice now given the charms a bit extra because on these old houses the brick work returns rather windows there's no damp floor so it's solid it's no way to stop the damp perforating there's just a bit of braces let's go down at the bottom lift on now this was great for me for right 16th of January we're back there's one of the chimneys all job so there's the back was repointed didn't get on the video and I've just been up and replaced the two broken tiles show you actually replace the one above that other one below can't remember replaced it and as I drop the tile above down snapped oh yeah and as I drop that bucket snapped and then broke someone way down so I got six one broke in the van so there's still three spare left for the customer should anything else happen there's the back of the pointing don't tell me it's it's all a scoff gone I mean Andy the roof I came back just after Christmas it's all here and he's actually sealed them in and he's also sealed between the tiles and place you go just we've got the headers on the pike and just go and move on that's solid with all the rest of it just make out where it hasn't dried where the water seals where it beads that's working well and then we've got next to the south about where the window window was Alex little project which I think looks smart I put him I put the window in next to it as a comparison so that's it 53 square meters all together now that job soars through Christmas really enjoyed that and now I've got to go across the road and price up house across the road they don't have a pike it's a hit roof though it's that's the pike that's it he's a dictator what could you finish that with a term oh they talk about potatoes let me do this take really fine
