 there you go once you've got an open end to work with you're away then can't you see what did that take all about an hour and a half I think so yeah welcome from the shed we're back at the job where we did the window patcher and today we're going to be replacing this concrete floor because as you can see here there's damp rising up in it and it's just a bit worse for work there you go I'm not looking the best and then I made a quick start here as you can see it travels up here as well obviously there was a void here because it was like that but yeah so our job today is get this all ripped out and get a better one in sand this green insulation concrete there you go we're mixing our own yeah we're mixing our own for this one because as you can see we don't really need we don't have the companies to come here and put like three barrafold in and charge it needs to under quit right yeah so that's the plan for today obviously you'll see us going step by step over it so catching a bit so obviously our first step for this one is going to be is it coming up quite quickly like I said it's traveling it's got like a slope whatever you want to call it so once we've got this loose bit out so just a quick one you've probably had to see this all the time in previous videos but like my dad always says once you've got an open end to work with you're away then because obviously you should put on the time lapse it's been struggling to get the open end but now we've got the open end so it all just chips off thing so go on dad do you want to tell them the route the golden rule get yourself a find a corner or once you're out you've got an open end and then it just breaks off nice and easy then nothing much trying to go through concrete open end always and dad just sorted skip we're going to get into our house so we can just stay past because we're on the on the road here the terrace on these yeah yeah because we're on a terrace estate at the moment it's a lot easier to get the skip at our house instead of trying to get it in the middle of the road it's a permit as well you've you've got to a permit on the road which you've got to apply for you can't just get a permit and turn up you've got to apply for it a few days ahead there you go so it's would have been a fat given permit anyway so we'll get it on our drive so no issue do you amount to go yeah a bit of extra weight for us but like two miles or so oh you know mom's going to make use of it okay you know mom's going to make use of it yeah so there you go there's your little quick tip back to it I don't really tell because it's all still here but all that's loose and ready to come out only reasons now yeah it's because everything's occupied at the moment so there's dad had to go and pick up some stuff let's go get the wack out which we forgot some um stone for mixing concrete I think some sand just to uh sand wind so once he's back we can load the van up with some more crap and start getting this tidied up and move on to the next phase so hurry up dad catching a bit right first load off to the skip which is in a different postcode because um I think we've explored explained you can't get a permit on your day it was going to go in front of the house but um because we can't get a permit we're just going to put it elsewhere and we can um only a couple of trips in the van so we're going to get this to take all this down get that chucked in get back up get the rest of it out get it prepped right seen a bit not feeling so good we don't know it's the heat the dodgy baking rolls back down or what anyway here we are you can see rather primitive where we've gone down so all the slab's gone either send us off loading in the skip at home um so down three we're gonna get the rest of this out as much as we can in buckets as we can and knock that step out so the concrete slab goes through yeah get it prepped so we've took most of the big stuff out so let's get the rest of this out and then customers took the wood out for us as well underneath what wood for us all right all cool so we can get through easier right oh nice one cool so yeah it's just a matter of getting this out believe it or not there's about a tonne and a half going in that skip easily the next is the first load already yeah we're gonna fill that little two tonne so yeah let's get cracking and keep getting get the rest of this out tell you what it's only about 21 here it gets scorching as you can see we've sun blinded it we took out that front course to go through with the concrete the um when we whacked it it went 40mm low so it's never been whacked so it's really settled such a rock hard now let's put about four or five buckets back in under that low i don't remember that stone in the concrete so we've made it back up so we've got to back to 100mm slab so after dinner get the visqueen caught chuck that in get the insulation down visqueen and then hit the concrete time there you go they're just delivering our ballast now so that's handy for after dinner so yeah let's go and have some lunch and get back back to it visqueen insulation done cold bridges straight around the edges it's only an outhouse and it's got 125mm insulation we had some left over and the customer had some um cellotex kind of the foil stuff 60mm so we've used it by he had left and used our 125 so it's got a nice thick 125 underneath cold bridges strip got a blusher across that when we get towards the end now we're going to start mixing and it's his 10 pass 3 wish it was yeah um yeah we're gonna get stuck in now that's kind of tired you'll like it mixes in he's going to shuttle back and forward with the uh with the bars so um yeah hopefully this shouldn't take too long it's all that we've done by hand we've done it at the level as I go and it's in what did that take all about an hour and a half I think so yeah hand mixing well not hand mixing with the bell mixer but yeah concrete's in see the strip round got a little threshold in for the door yeah so we're ready to get tamping and trailing up which shouldn't take long so while I'm at doing this Alex is going to get the um stuff put away all that tidied up out there we've all mixed the concrete but I'd rather have a bit left over well I need to put in the fold now oh yeah plus we've got that threshold to do yet so so as usual it's a bit boring to do without time left for now so time left for this task floor done 125 insulation cold bridging straight around the edge nice and flat doesn't look much but that was a tough day and it's about half past five now so um we've got here because the skips at ours we've got a few bits to pick up tomorrow so we're gonna come back in the morning when we get up eventually get the mixer get the wheelbarrow get the whole stone get stone bagged up and have a good tidied up so um I'll hand it to Alex so he'll do his nice outro if there's enough battery so there you have it that's all how to re
