 this is how easy it is to move so it's just the case of getting it down now we'll have this down in 10 minutes 15 minutes easy because once the top's out it's just chop chop chop yeah yeah good Thursday morning Thursday the 5th of October Halloween approaches and it's a wet one but we're finished well we're finished on the extension but all the outdoor work's finished apart from a tiny bit of patching a bit of snagging it's steels day today there's the steel at the end of the drive that's got our hard hats well we have our hard hats so um yep we've got to get um we've got visors on them but they do get warm inside if you have a visor on so i'm taking my visor off i'm going to put my mask on and we're going to get this finished we're going to get this finished um i say that because we're staying till it's finished because we need to be away from here today we've been here we've been here nearly two weeks with all the delays and stuff but um we need to get this box stuff and get paid and move on to the next one which i haven't arranged yet so um i want to get my boots on i want to get inside it's got my headphones because i'll be having my defenders on for a bit i'm not going to take alex's easy so we can listen to our own music and take you inside there's the steel this is how easy it is to move absolutely brilliant those things thanks to robbie and robbie for the idea and thanks to my mum for buying us them from that from alde fantastic so all finished up there that feels good to have it finished in the rain i'm in i'm not being affected by it so we're up to in the medium of stock here because there's a chimney stack here so that's looks like a trim around the chimney breast so we're going to have to prop from this side now so we're going to bring the steel through put it on a couple of well put on the floor first it won't fit yeah might just go on the floor and then we're going to put these trestles so we'll cut it halfway up and then turn in it's hard work because we've got to not render first because it's that hard and then we've been screwing these together so these these are supported by these these are supported by these and yeah that's pretty much it we've got to not not dress this out and it's going to here here and then go to sales pass by 550 most of the electrics been done now but we know where the rest of them are shouldn't be any electric uh tripping out today and that'll be that's had a couple of days to go off now and i also need to knock a pocket out there 250 pockets of the steel on yeah it's even thicker in places isn't it sense cement as well so it's rock hard and usually yeah it looks about 30 mil there you can see where it's but it's the back of the flue was there's a black brick that smells you can smell the soot as well but yeah um the um usually in the old buildings the uh sand cement just falls off but this was done probably about 12 years ago so it's still good so it's still doing the job it's only going to get my headphones and my ear defenders on and my hard hat and then get cracking with olex it's just locked and the joist is still propped so we don't need to get the acres on the other side thank goodness that's a relief but um while i'm out here here's a little progress update with the air the one big pile of shit there you go and we've both got headphones in today i yeah i was thinking i was sitting back before i stand corrected i don't get how i used to do this all the time it's just very distracting i've uh i've grown as a builder but since we're making all this noise we've both got our headphones in for some tunes i've got my halloween playlist on but yeah um time are we on ten to nine not bad so i'll get while dad's making the noise i'll tell you here he's got all the plaster off that's needed for the padstone and there's obviously we're just getting the measurements of where the wall's going to end i don't think he's done now so it's just the case of getting it down now we're aiming to get this done today just done and dust it because it's get this wall down get the steel up and if the weather holds off just get this bit of snagging done obviously you can cut this down if you need to dad i know it's a lot of waffling but we've just got a few bits of snagging a bit of end of the viewpoint and all the foundation which i've nearly chipped out there we go um but yeah enough waffling i'll get you back in there just like give you a quick progress update so you know where we're at i'll let i catch you a bit hmm yeah quite safe yeah you're not using the breaker for a minute then pardon we have a crunch the reason i've got this acro is because we've come across the two steels which are the back of the house the size of them compared to what we're putting in and apparently they span from there they are packed onto the wall with the tiles so because i saw that we put this in for safety and then we'll get the steel in we'll pack them back up there onto the steel could have done with steel shims for that you know there's things we had it fixed you'll yeah so yeah just a precaution we're leaving this in here because a customer says it does span across the back because um the original house had like a lean two here and then that's the back of the house and it's been extended from there as you can see so yeah that's just precaution it's in the way but i'd rather have that in the way than have the house fallen off we've had worse in the way yeah so we're coming back to here if you want to crack on now and then it's 550 back for the padstone and steel bad boys are doing all the work now as you can see top course is out and that's as far as we're going with the actual wall obviously we're going past all the way up to the cable we've got 550 seating for the steel plus the padstone so there's a big hole to come out of there yet probably just point it out so 225 450 plus 100 probably 100mm past that and at least two courses plus i think two course of block plus another course out to come it's going to be big all that that's going to go into the cavity obviously because that's the cavity will return into the house the back of the house the back of the extension it's weird you've got the extension and you've got another little bit that sticks out the back of the house and then you've got a lean to it goes back to the back that's the upstairs back of the house it's funny detail but anyway you can see the new bit which has been toothed in like that so that's our line coming down like that and this is going to be out we'll have this down in 10 minutes 15 minutes easy because once the top's out it's just chop chop chop all the renders off it makes it easier this side obviously not but you just pop them off now look at the thickness of that and it's stuck like it to a blanket yeah so it's time to break anyway we'll see you have to break I said 10 to 15 minutes I think it's quicker than that it's that same old thing open end once those top breaks are out it's just pop them off even with the solid render on the back side it's you just get under the get under the one of the bed and just pop off and it's a straight corner there just break every other brick so that's really nice so while that's always rubble up I'm going to get the two um pockets cut out for the padstones at each end and the steel so um we also need to prop this ceiling with something so we'll have a look for something right quick one we've got a joist dangling in mid air then we've got one that one's okay that because that's in the corner against the wall but we don't know what's in this part here so we're going to take this out so we're going to put two temporary accros under this steel take this out and put that piece of phobia to it and put two accros in there to catch whatever's dangling down just to on the safe side we'll just come back a little bit give ourselves some room and then nearly nearly tidy up I'll tell you what I might have to cut some off the top of that timber yeah you know that's a lintel over that door remember when you got 340 there we need 250 for the steel only 15 20 minutes worth of tidying up to do when we can get the steel grab roll name that movie if you say this yeah it's so big because I want to get it it needs to be a bit decent sized concrete block underneath the padstone rather than a they've relieved the course of breaking it with a little split don't like splits from the padstone so we're going for the bigger piece plus the same these are hollow blocks if I just haven't knocked it off it's a bit ropey so I took it back to the top of the next block so that's that I have to watch these free bricks here on yeah and then we're going to have to get the laser level and go along all these joists and make sure they're all packed with the stagger to any packing out and here's the other hole you got 250 and 150 lintel so we're going to have to notch that lintel out but I've just looked above there's nothing above it there's only one two three four five courses of brick so we can notch that and it's still gonna have a good um good hundred mil left on the wood pity we didn't have the saws all with us yeah so again that's already just a bit of trimming to do a bit of patching and there's also a joist up there a rogue joist which um don't think the steel is going to actually come in contact with that if it does we'll have to notch it out because it's same it's lower a lot lower than all the others so we're going to have to make put a level across mark it out and notch it so there you go and then we've obviously got all the bricks to patching once the steel goes back up so I've got a got a lot to do this afternoon go the bricks you've got to go in before no you can knock the ceiling out you can knock all that from getting to it so um yeah so I'll get tidied up as best we can to us to a manageable state didn't need these got an interesting case yeah we've asked for that yeah because we can't wear them with our air defenders because the the headband on the air defends are rigid so they don't turn they're still like this so we need to end yeah on the cheaper versions you can move the headband round and wear it the band at the back of your head or anyway that's why we didn't wear them so um yeah let's get tidied up and let's get a quick dinner lunch we've got the lays a little and we're going to set it up somehow and we're going to check all these are in line most of them should be but we need to pack them all down so they're all fit and then yeah there is wall above isn't it yeah a lot of patching to do there we don't need to patch them all because no wall above it right lays the level set up and get all these packers ready see where the uh different levels of the joys are we need to make sure that's uh taken up we're gonna have to get off to get all those screws out they're all in the way there's three there oh yeah right time to try and get this stealing now i think we've got all the prep done all the joys and all the packers on so everything's flat we've got a cup we can pack after the bricks we're going to have to get slid in after and that's it we need to get the stealing onto the trestles onto the wall jacked up and then these padstones put in while Alex is patching the bricks above so we've still got a lot to do yet i don't know what time it is look it's going to be a little late one padstone needs cutting down still as well so we've got three blocks go back a bit and put it up onto the trestle yeah we're going to put it up into that corner now okay and then we're going to get the trestle underneath it as long as the trestle's on yes it is you want your trestle i was going to push it out and then two of us lifted pull it up on the wheels so two of us instinct and the wheels did it so i want you to trestle as far over as you can so we can get into that aqua and take this back out do you want to take the weight like just take the weight now push what are the holes for so Dave who bought timber inside it what say is it upside down i don't know no it's the right way up i checked before we went in so if you take the weight i'll push it out okay can i get out when you circle around the house do you want to um keep duck under there or circle around the house i always did it then we put on this one i think we should try a little bit more first while it's on wheels you just take the weight out and push it you just make sure it slides okay do it yeah you go up do it one more you can try okay go on all right you get ready to move that trestle so we need to yeah yeah that's that's sufficient remember to lift that two of us in the field what's up well that's what i was about to say to you then so we've had to come to a a decision which reluctant yeah the uh this is way too heavy for us both to lift way too heavy and it's gotta go it's gotta go up there we're gonna have to cut back some of that uh ceiling before this even goes in have to get the end multi-chill yeah so any but yeah so um it's it's half three now so the plan we're gonna we've had to decide is we're gonna get everything tidied up today get the genie the first thing in the morning tomorrow and then get this steel up tomorrow because by the time dad's gone to Hodgson's got a got a genie getting this lifted up and everything we're gonna be back till about eight o'clock so it's it's a crap decision but it's the it's the only one we can make where we get back in a reasonable time so yeah easy and then we've still got a load of snagging to do outside as well so before it's worth we'll have to suck it up and come in another day so dad's plan now then is he's gonna get this ceiling cut back now ready for the steel to go in and for us to patch the bricks back into it i'll get i'll pass in the multi-tools since we don't have the recent poll but um and i'll just get all this tidied up hoovewood and uh sent to the to the crap pile so uh i'll throw you one time lapse while we get our heads together there we go that's the tidies we can get it until everything's taken down so we will see you tomorrow at Hodgson's
