 There's been a long time since I've used these. Building Reg trench block, 350mm across and it's gone off nicely so our task today is and good morning. It is Monday the 5th of June, we're all refreshed after a weekend off so we're ready to get stuck back in here as you can see. It was laid in on Friday and it's gone off nicely so our task today is get this slav as ready as we can get it today, hopefully get the whole thing ready for wackering. We're also going to get the vertical damps cut in and I'm going to cut through some of that rendering so we'll just move that, we'll get all that set up and then get this all set up and hopefully the materials are due today so hopefully they'll be here soon. We can get them laid out here just over the fence and then we can get them loaded out where we can so I will get you set up on time-lapse and we will get started once that man shows up so see you in a bit. Morning, it's set out of time, right we've pretty much got fixed points here so this is projection, it's three metres and 57 so that is like looking at it that way so we're building this bit, that's us here we're still at this corner, three metres and 57 to this edge so we need to parallel that off there, we've just checked it, there's the three metre mark we're just above the sea and it's a four metre mark just over where the old wall used to be and the five metres there's five metres and five so it's out of square that way by five mill there so it's probably less than ten mill over the whole length of the building which is next to nothing but I think what we'll do is we'll still square it off that wall so that wall will be square off that wall, get me I think so we need to get the diagonals now just to double check our diagonals so we've got 3.057 so that's our 3.057 which is that, I know there's apps for this but this is where we do it and you square that, I don't think we can even see it, it'll show up, it gives us 9.345 so we've got 5.7 square, it's 32.4 now so add that to our 9.345, 9.345 gives you 41.835 square root it which is the bottom below, click that, that gives you six, six metres four hundred, six metres four hundred and sixty seven so point nine now so round that up so six metres four hundred and sixty eight so that's how you get your diagonal now we can't check the diagonals because we've got all our stone back so we need to get that down just so we can get the tape over the top so we'll still wait for our gear we can get this leveled out a bit get rid of some of that crap and stick it on talents for that. Now another quick one while we're setting out when you're putting your line down your render you've obviously got your bell cast I've got our mark on the brick word there but we use the laser level because it's always hard to get that bit because your level ends up like that trying to get it down to the floor so this thing it's put on our line there and it drops the line down to the ground we can just put a few marks up there and there you can just about where you can't see where I can it's up on the face here so there you go so I've got my mark there we've got some up there and get rid of the laser now mark that over the spool of this handy little piece of kit we've got the horizontal vertical and the cross so squeeze it off for now because it's done its job for now. Top stack of block is a bit wavy but um we'll get around that we'll get them moved immediately yeah no more no uh going all the way around the house so I think all that's left now is the installation from selco so thank you fairwood so let's get some church block out so now the loads are out I just wanted to show you up close so as you'll see in the title of the video these are the new building reg trench block 350mm across and uh I can confirm they're heavy they are uh they're monsters well it's like you get off but obviously these are to meet the new regs so with the bigger cavities it's got to be done regardless of what we think about it so that's the trench block loaded out so we may need more because they accidentally sent the original trench block which in fact here you go one sec let's give you a comparison there you go so there's the uh there's that difference made which which may not look like a lot but it's what you need so so we may need more because they sent the wrong ones but hopefully not we'll see we'll see how we get on either way that'll probably just nip to fairwood so there you go I think we'll get the wall started set up now and then have a quick break so we'll uh catch you after break someone's commented that we need to buy watches because it takes so much time and effort to take your phone out of your pocket and just check the time so 11 minutes passed so we've had a break we're all set up starter packs up mixes on it's all set out um I had a bit of a meltdown with the uh setting out there because I kept me reading the tape wrong completely my fault but um I ended up checking all my diagonals and redoing them all again and then getting them wrong then going back so we are right everything I wrote down before is correct so this so we've got the 5.7 to there which is the edge of that brick we've got three zero six zero to the line and then that's the diagonal of four eight six eight that's a bit that's a that's a big ass uh that's a big ass extension four eight four eight six eight six four six eight oh six four six eight you said eight six four eight is that it's right numbers in wrong order so that so um we've got the laser level set up again so we spin it as you can see by pure fluke it's lined up with the floor level but that's not all we're working to dpc which is this level it's about 40 middle lower but what we do is we'll take measure off the concrete to the laser line which you can see is five seven five we know that's gauge there's the nail we've measured all that so five seven five so here spin the laser spin the laser round five ninety five ninety so it's 15 mill low in this corner so biggest beds yes let me just try something here's our first block set that's ready for running in that way which we're going to do shortly but Alex is going to run this side in first because I've got this bit of foundation to knock off as you can see this is where we've got nine hundred concrete here and we're still not touching the existing concrete on it on the extension which goes three to damp three down to damp and straight onto that which is about nine and a half inches of concrete and below that was shite you've got to go down another eight inches at least maybe more to hit good play so that's not all very good ground and it's not that's not a conservatory that's a full full blown extension one and a half story so that's not very good that but we kind of underpinned it with ours so we're going to pack that up we're all set with our big 350 blocks so back to time lapse and we're going to try and get cracking this needs to be this needs to be prepped for floors just tomorrow there you go it's about 10 past one at lunch you're probably sitting on the time that's which we left over lunch we've seen Robbie and Robbie here with Danny who's our structural engineer going over the door size because this is going to be a 3.6 door so it's like what size steel can get over the top with and keep the room above above it obviously the height of the steel the less room you've got to get your roof over it um luckily they came today because we've we've brought this in about a hundred off the end that is an immobile object that that pipe if we move that we're going to take the fence out and dig all the way down there so that's staying where it is so Robbie I think had measured to the end but in my diary the measurement was less than that so I've gone off that so a mix up but a mix that we've sorted could have been a very costly mix up but thank god they came here today and that's that's fixed now it's just it just shows how easy these little mistakes can be made so yeah we've loaded all the seven Newton block out you might just see a pencil mark down there about here that's pillar then it's all doorway up to where the end of that rake is there I think so then that's that's a pillar to there it's all blockwork down there and because we've got to raise this up above the DPC about 35 mil it was going to be a quarter brick and a quarter block it's now going to be snap headers on edge and then the block on top of that and that snap header will give us the extra 30 35 mil to get us to the right level and when we do that again we're going to get the laser level set up set it off the um skating board over there see I'm pointing at that I can't see if I'm pointing right on the camera the skating board there that's our datum so this inside wall is going to be set off that maybe slightly 10 mil lower depends if they're having tiles or not but the skirtings I'm not sure if they're being changed or not but that's our height bottom that's skirting because obviously that's what skirting used to say on the original floor I think you get that so yeah um we're getting the inside done first this won't take long because there's not a lot in the inside and then we need to get a profile on that corner and there's four course of reds the little red rustic brick which is going to match those and I'm going to back them in the important bit is getting across the front it's not important if we don't get the side in today because the slab goes to the block work we need the front up because obviously the block work stops there so we need the brick work up because the slab goes round and wraps around and it goes against the outside skin very important that you always take your slab up to your outside skin you don't have your wall going across there because your kinds of grief and problems and it's not it's um it's not good practice so yeah we've still got a hell of a lot to do this afternoon in four hours I mean it might be a late one tonight well it might be it's going to be a late one tonight but um yeah I'll just be back in a minute mix is on we'll load it out so that I'll get this laser level set up and stay back on time not for a bit while we get this set up catching a bit what do you think of the new new regulation trench blocks heavy feel better every sensors though like ones yeah we are the ones that were wrong we just uh cut them down to size but these things these new ones they are heavy I am dreading when we do these in the winter and the wet I think a regular trench block was already like 23 kilograms roughly so about these like pushing fishing scales in a way these will be pushing 26 at least yeah but yeah when you've got a hip that needs replacing it's hard work picking up and bending down to put them down yeah but um there's a I guess course of pig technically yeah it's not a course it isn't it isn't because the course of pigs when it's at a level yeah but we're we're jacking up the floor to come up above gpc instead of putting bits of timber on it like we're using to we're actually building block work like we did on our last job and then the first course of block goes in after that we'll cut back to coursey it's nice something nice to solve it to work for so in other words this block that's the finished height there that's the height so that's my side done um yes please and I've just moved all the uh soil stuff onto the outside for backfilling so now I think in a bit as well I'll get some of this dragged across here so we know roughly how much we may need um after I've done my return so yeah the uh the rick edge is set out for the returns that return now the block work yeah so the slab returns and I'll keep going on about that but I'll tell you that's what you're supposed to do it you heard it first so yeah um better change this battery and keep you up I'll keep you at the sun because it's it's that hot today that this camera's been overheating the last two days that thing's been buried with backfill with hard core with concrete yes with a fixed pipe don't worry go back to the previous video and you'll see that it was fixed so yeah I'll um change this better and get you set up oh yeah and there's a screw tie going in oh yeah see you in a minute I think tamtons have used these but uh they still look satisfying as they used to be the uh good old homemade brick tongs these have done this for a long time so it's uh nice to be using these again uh block work on the inside is all set up and you just about see over there dad's got a little corn set up there so now he's getting this corner set up and I'm going to get the bricks loaded out so that's where we're at right now it's just uh it's gone past three so let's try and uh make this last hour and a half count quarter past three as scott has told us now I'll shut shut shut scott up great glives just finished we're back on radio two so quarter past three this is a this is where we're up to inside ready we've got to get these sorry about the wind I can see the wind should look nice on really but we're trying to push it on um yeah block works already but we've got to get these four across the door at least so we've got something to concrete up against said all this before set the laser level up set it to the uh uh damp core dpc datum and then you just see over here see the camera picks it up I've got a piece of tape to tape there I'll put my hand in front of it you see the laser line there you go you just see it on the top of that tape so that's our mark measured down to that and that's 303 mil so we'll bang on for gauge so we're good uh we had our share of bad luck in the foundation so things have gone okay for us today so far yeah we're riding all at the moment and we're in the shade now which is great so as I said an hour and a half I think two hours to get this this in once he's loaded the biturals on it I said no no he did yeah so that size nearly done that's that's nearly done that is done and then we could do a bit of backfilling then get this stone up I thought we're gonna need more stone I think once we've spread that out and blinded it we're gonna be okay happy days so let's get a line on this and get cracking so there's what we've got up to we ran out of mix but good thing is we've got enough of the fourth course in to go past the doorway so we can backfill up to there now tomorrow yeah theoretically this can get a slab now but um tomorrow obviously I'll probably get that finished while dad's wacking and such we'll probably get maybe another ton in because after scraping this around now there's not a lot we've got to go to the top of the brick on edge more or less so I reckon another ton should probably do it but um here we go pretty good day's work for a flat start and because in the first like hour or two there was no materials there so we didn't do too bad all loaded out and all set out so excellent we'll catch you tomorrow for a slab prep
