 Basically, I'll put a metal edge in that and chop them off. Point you at me, these are over a year old. I bought them for Father's Day I think. I can't even remember it's been that long. Oh yes, it's currently Friday, 7 o'clock, and I've had enough. I just want to go home. Alright, next morning. So, as you know we've got that much done, we're going to get that tidied up now. Robbie's already here, so I think, I'm not sure if Dad mentioned it or not, but their plan is to turn that into a French door I believe. So, we've just been spending the morning clearing up our mess that we left there for them. So, yeah, so while they do that, we're going to hope that these steels arrive. So we're just going to get ourselves as prepped as we can before they arrive. Obviously, Dad did all that work here, knocking, getting this one loose and ready. I'm just going to deal with this issue. But, yeah, let's make ourselves busy and do what we can. Get them steels propped properly. That's one major thing we need to do. And just get the rest of that wall down. So, enough messing around, I'll get you on time lapse. So, I'm going to take you up to the front now because these bloody monster steels are arrived. So, we're going to try and do our best. We've got the Robbie's support. And Robbie's moving the van. Seeing Robbie's taking the window out. So, the window's coming out? Yeah. So, rather than taking it around the sides, all the obstacles, we can take it out a bit. So, first thing is getting them on the drive, and then Robbie's taking the front window out, so we can get them through the front then. So, like, Dad said, we're not messing around trying to reel it round to the back because, wait till you see him. It's like he's around now. They're just putting on to make it, have you? That's one. They're actually lifting them. No, it's not. One o'clock update. We've got back from lunch. I'm sure I've shown you all this. These ridiculously large steels. There's the plate, which is going to take this steel. It goes across onto this wall. Roughly there. There it is there. Nice little one over there. Because that, it's so big, because that is going to take a timber that goes up into the loft to support the pearling, the roof pearling. That's why these steels are so big. And then this thing is going back in once we've took it out, and that's going to be welded to this somewhere. Not sure where yet. What else have we got? Oh yeah, we had these stupid tubes put on, which were sticking out 70mm, so we had to have the steel away from the wall. The steel's already 150, so our steels are now 11 inches off the wall, which means we're struggling to get the strong wire over the top to attach to that steel. So basically, we'll put a metal wedge in that and chop them off. Just one left of them. The reason being... The steels are 150, so tight together it's going to be 300. You can see that, that's not 300. So these are going to be oversized anyway. They're going to fit on side those pillars. They're going to fit on the pillars easy. But it's just a jockeying round. And another issue here is, that's the course we're working to, and then we're coming down 260, which is about here. That course there is, I'd say 50mm above this wall plate, this beam, which goes right across four widths. So we can't physically prop that course. So as Robby suggested, he said knock a pocket out and put some of these on here. So we're going to have to knock a hole out, another six I think. Or maybe four, because it's not as big an opening. One, two, three. We could probably get one in there actually. But we're going to have to go and get some more of these, and let these do the work on the back, and then Alex has already propped. I've got the, and then it's on the wall there. So that's it. It is what it is, as I keep saying, we're into it, we're into it now, so we've got to finish it. There we go. Thursday, 13th of April, quarter past two. So here's your quarter past two update. We've definitely got plenty of accros. So, six brackets fixed into the timber. Timber supported. Timber supported in the middle, by that accro there. Timber supported the, that accro. So that's that timber. That timber supported up there. Alex has got this in here. This one still goes through, doesn't it? We've discovered this steel sits on here 400, but the extension is, is it 150 narrow way? 100. So that's further back than that. So we've got our 300 seat in there. But when you get on this side in the original house, it's 400, it's 100 mil different. So hopefully that's going to go into the cavity on the extension part. So, the extension part is propped. Now what we have to do now is, this side's propped. So basically, three quarters of it's propped, isn't it? Yeah. So what I need to do now is, the idea is to start knocking pockets out of here and start putting these brackets in along here underneath the brickwork. They're not going to reach the brickwork. It's a cavity wall. Obviously they are. They are, aren't they? Yeah, forget that. Yeah, forget that. So yeah, we're going to start knocking pockets out of here, both skins, inserting these brackets in as we go. And as we go, strong boy. This side, I think the electric's all dead, but we're going to have to get this down with the wire going through it. That's got to be taken out, so we can get the steels up. Unfortunately the robbers have just gone because they worked up for today. They're going to go to pick up some stuff. Make a lovely job of that. Which doesn't help us because we needed them to get the steels in today, because Alex isn't here tomorrow. So hopefully we can manage with three of us tomorrow. Three of us is still better than two, isn't it? Alex has got hospital appointments at 10. I have no idea. All I know is I can't even see so. Can't have any breakfast. So I'm going to try and sleep till 0.9 o'clock then. What is it? Is it an endoscope? Is that what it is? Looking inside your stomach. Camera down the... If you ever see the blue man group, you'll know what I mean. One of them. So... Yeah, that's... But pretty much that's a softer news job now. And let's just get these last few pockets out. Get this all propped. Ready for these big bad boys going in. They're 260 by 150. They're freaking huge, aren't they? And they're heavy. Very heavy. Actually getting them in wasn't too bad. Which you've already seen through the window and everything. Luckily there's room to maneuver them in. Because you've always got to get them in before you put your acro props up. Otherwise you'll have a job then, won't you? So that's enough waffle. Alex is going to start tidying up. The only thing is now, the Robbie's has took the key so we can't open that door. And we can't open that window because there's no key for that. So we haven't got much ventilation. So we're just trying to keep the dust down. Now I'll just take all the bricks in and then near the end I'll... Do all the dust. Right, and I'll start doing this. Just be ready on hand, ready for propping. Do you know something, these steels I think these are the same size we put in Garry's. Oh no. Yeah, there's only two of us on that. If you want to see that, click the banner. Yeah, with these stairs in the way. Different floor levels. That was when we used hop ups and just kept putting blocks. And blocks and blocks. These are the new hop ups Alex got me. New? Point you at me, these are over a year old. I bought them for Father's Day I think. I can't even remember it's been that long. And you refuse to use them. Yeah, because these ones are still going. And these ones are a lot safer because they've got the automatic locking mechanism. The snapping. Go on, do it so I can hear that noise. It's going to cut chunk in there. Yeah, it makes it very satisfying. So you've got our other ones which have like a really crappy fold on. Then you've got these, you've got the nice... Oh yes. Might put a slo-mo on that bit. Turn into a clunk. Cheers. Let's do this. Drop that up now. Can you hear me now? Right, times it out. It's not that late. 10 plus 5. 10 plus 5. And as you can see there is a hell of a lot of props in there. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. And then 1, 2, 3 on the other side. Supporting this big main beam. Might just put a couple more under that because they're not in the way. What do we need them for the steels then? We've still got 3. 3. Yeah, we've got 4. So just so awkward. I don't think you saw it on this time. But if you look up there we've gone right up there too high an extra course. And you can just make out the brackets I've put in and every other brick so in between I've put the grabbers in and just to stop the loose bricks falling in between. So everything there is held with brackets fixed to the I don't know what that's called. Wall plate, I don't know. That's a big chunk of timber which spans side to side of the extension and those brackets are basically holding everything up above and then we've got the accros just to take the weight and distribute the forces down. This was really hard because as I said this was concrete so that took probably half an hour longer than it should have been should have done. And when I keep going on about grabbers it's one of those I don't know the exact name for them but they're little hex screws and what they do is you drill a 6mm hole straight into brickwork and then they go straight into the 6mm hole they don't use a plug so they actually, well if you like grab onto actual brickwork window fitters like using them because they grab onto the frame as well so you're into the brickwork and then the thread goes right to the top so it grabs the frame and grabs the brickwork so it holds everything steady but that they're just nice long screws that I've put right in, sorry on the brickwork the brackets are doing the work and then the little grabbers in between. There we go there's one there and another one there, little shiny ones another one there so what they're doing is just stopping the loose bricks falling in between because if they go any higher then we can't physically get the bricks back in because as I said I'm on my own tomorrow well Alex is near but Robbie and Robbie so hopefully between the three of us we'll be able to get these lifted in and put into position with the spare accros at least one anyway and get that patched up so still a lot of work left yet all this is extra work none of this was expected none of it so there's one of our new accros one of our new strong boys another one's down there got them from Selco so tidy up time and get out of here it's all propped up safely there's nobody in the house oh yeah and then tomorrow basically that's to come out and hopefully we'll be able to squeeze that into the top of the skip so this man's ready for home and his day off tomorrow but I know going for the old scope so he's going to tidy up while I get all the tools packed up and then we're going to scoot so yeah I will see it in the morning and we're back I'm on my own Alex is off to the Aussie today give you a quick look this is where we stopped yesterday so that's more or less ready for the steal this end needs a bit of fettling and then obviously all this needs dropping out and skipping we're all propped up everything's still where we left it thank god so with big pushes get these steels in today as well as three of us I've actually brought the laser level and the laser measure to make sure we parallel the steels up and to get it all level the laser level is going to be big out today so I'll show you that when we set that up so let's get my tools in and get cracking light first okay Alex is currently on route to the hospital and it's 11 minutes past 10 Friday the 14th of April so prep work is ready I've got a scaffold ready to go in right a quick update Jeremy's on he's been on a while so 25 past 12 still a lot to do the laser level is coming really handy so that got you've probably seen it on the timelapse but I used the laser level to work off that that was our lowest point there sorry lowest point there so that's what the steel is up against so it's tight to that middle then we leveled it and then struck a line with the laser level transferred all the levels so that was top of steel bottom of steel padstone so as you can see this is too high but that got all our heights so this middle one is in position now it's currently held up on the two accros in position and I am breaking up on the top this section here is just split it can be anything there because the steel is self-supporting because it's supported at both ends so I'm halfway through that I'm just about to cut some more I'm going to use the sabersaw not the sabersaw the saw is all just to rip down that the thermal light block once I've done that side I can jump on this side which is a bit rougher but I should be able to get full bricks under there see up there that's it all the heavy lifting is done all the messing about is still to do that was a bang on tubes will waste their time because they are getting bolted up tight I need to knock out this get the padstone set set this end and then we're going to be coming back Sunday me and Alex together and get this packed up motor's up ready for the accros to come out and then hopefully once I've done the padstones I might just get a little bit of patching in between the accros to hold all that lot up then the strong boys can come out and then just patch the holes then we've also got that punch out so that's going to end up needing a lintel padstone for this steel that goes up here and that also needs a padstone going in for this steel that goes back in here so there's still a lot to do it's half past three I'm just about to go and have my dinner absolutely done in so far we're two days over what we thought it was going to take this is the worst one I've ever done without a doubt nothing nothing straight forward we can't prop anything properly I know you have those prop pall things but to use the prop palls we'd have to take the roof off the extension I've never used them before either so it just wasn't an option so oh yeah I've got to take that off as well I'm tired of you there's probably still a full day left on this all all four scenes stuff that we didn't know so we'll just have to speak to the customer about it we'll let you know we get on but yeah look at all the accros one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve three holding the steel up three on the beam on the other side and the rest on this side with the strong boys so the main thing is get get that patched in so that that steel is held same this end to get this all patched up so all this is held and then patch a few holes but like I said it's half three I need something to eat so it's going to be four o'clock before I get back in here so I did say to Chris it's going to be a late one and I'm still going to see how Alex got on I missed his call before so yeah I'm going for some dinner back again half four this is ridiculous solid cast concrete into the cavity all the way down every padstone was done the same it's just ridiculous so I've been trying to get it with the oven bolster it's just not so I've had to go and get the breaker so I'm going to try and get this out I need to get the padstones in today luckily it's just break work at that end it's not going to be as hard but yeah it's ridiculous let's have another moan but here we go let's get the breaker going and get this beody bit out padstone in patching up done just let me show you obviously I couldn't take any steel out see the bed steel three inches and a half to turn in the middle I'm going to get this other padstone in and patch around this side and then I'm going to try and get a piece in this just this end so this is supported and then throw my gloves on the bin later mini outro padstones in that end blocked up so that's safe that piece of block is in there so that's safe so I couldn't get these bits in ran out of water and even had to hand mix a bit to finish this lot off so there's not much to do really here it's a very thin it's a very thin gap getting thinner down to next to nothing so it'll just be a big bed of water for this end there's actually no need to fill that gap in because the steel supported on the steel there and it's supported there so it's just spanning it's doing nothing this steel is doing the work so it would actually be better not to put any pressure on this because this is taking the that's going to be taking the pearling upstairs I'll still fill it in and then obviously just patching it so there's not actually a lot to do there but we've still got this to do the steel to reinsert against this steel and this I've had a look at it where it lands is about here so I'm going to pick up a 1500 600 before concrete lintel take that timber lintel out and put the 1500 across and it comes to about here so that'll last that'll act as a padstone at this end and it'll transfer down onto all this solid brick wall so yeah it's a big lintel to go in there so there's probably a day's work left for me actually that to come down so I'm signing out for now but we will be back on Sunday it's currently Friday 7 o'clock and I've had enough I just want to go home so catch you back here on Sunday morning
