 Right, I have to go straight an hour and a half, got the lintel, Alex is just getting the patch undone down there, he's got three bits to do around the back. As I said as well, we've got some red and black dye, so we can try and match this quite darkish red tint to go with the cut that. This is Alex, and that's Steve, the reason I'm introducing us is because we haven't filmed for minimum five weeks, is it? A month ago today we were just on our first day in Florida and we've not filmed since because we came back to a pointing job so I've not filmed that and Alex has been away. Nia comes in two days, so I've got him for two days and then he's off again while Nia comes back here. So the most recent videos that have been out, I was gone. You were gone. And now this video, I'm going to be going again. You're going to be going again. Alex leaves me in the title again. So anyway, backstory is it's currently October the 24th. So obviously it's usually about two months behind but we're trying to get the videos a bit quicker. So what are we doing? A lintel job. Yes, kind of. Sort of. Not your average lintel job. This window here has cracked brick work above it. The usual thing where it goes like that but if you look at the top of the window there's a solid white line like a concrete lintel. So this I'm guessing is one of these boot lintels that I keep hearing about. So meaning that's a solid lintel. So what we're here today to do is take out the loose brick work, opening up, have a look, check everything, new tray in, replace the brick work and as you can see we've got red dye and then also got a bit of patching to do around the house, a couple of blown bricks at the around DPC level and a few on the garage. So we're all set up ready and we've brought one of our new toys with us. This is a Centres by Evolution. You've already seen the saw. Well this is going to be so helpful. People get to tell us to get ourselves a wet dry vac. Well we now have one thanks to Evolution. Cracking, cracking piece of kit, dead simple. You've got the hoover and you've got it blows as well. I wouldn't say that, we've not tried that out. Yeah it might do well. Yeah and it's just to drop it down. That's it, simple as that. So that's going to come in handy and like I say it's wet as well. So when we have them little jobs with the bloody post airing balls we're sorted. Days are numbered. And when we're doing a slab and the bit of green's got all water on it. Your days are numbered. Yeah we can just get rid of it that way. So yeah it's um where there's not too bad at the moment it's not too cold. We're shooting that as well so we can oh yeah and don't forget if you want to go grab yourself any evolution tools head over to the website use the code bricklaying all caps you can get five percent off your orders. So if you want a nice soar or a nice wet dry vac. So you're buying some decent gear you're getting it discounted and you're helping out our channel. Supporting the channel. Nice one. Wins for everybody. Right let's get them set up. All right let's see if I remember what to do. So everything's out to my knowledge we've got the accros, trestles are out, planks are out, mixer, we've got it all. So we're just gonna get this set up a little bit and just ask the customer if he's got any spare bricks so we can get this set out a bit better because as you can see we're quite close to the window and we need room for the accro so we're just trying to get set up back here a little bit and as dad's give you the rundown just get all that out and there he is. So I think though once we get all set up with these trestles I think we're ready to go so happy days. Fets in a bit. Right we're up here now. Get a close look at it. As you can see that's see where it's gone. Let's put the spare level on it shall we. Just let you out of the plum. You know that level's plum now look at that. The thing is if you look at next doors there's doing the same when you've got the full set of soldiers all way across the windows. Back in the old days when these were built everything everything moved it's not like nowadays when we prop it as we build it it went it went so it's going to be hard to blend this back in because the whole wall's wonky so we've just got to take we're going to go back three three soldiers these are all solid here these haven't moved up here we're going to prop here we're going to go back three same here we're going to go back decide where we prop when we get up to here but we're going to go back three here enough room to get our tray passed and put an upstand in it and then yeah it's um it's it's knackered so let's get it opened up and see what's inside it's always um it's always a bit nerve-wracking when you don't know what's gonna what you're going to find because you price the job and then you don't know what's gonna what panto's box are going to be inside so let's get making a mess yes oh yeah before people need to comment this is a Bosch I think they call it Sapersaw and that although it looks a bit knackered it's lost a few teeth is the Bosch carbide masonry blade about 19 quid from tool station we do have a new one but that's it Bosch carbide masonry perfect for what we're doing here which is when you look under the red it's lime water so it'll be it'll be flying through that so let's get cracking we're just stopping for a quick break just a quick one I've moved a bit but the cracking looks worse than it actually is because the pointing just take it out can you see that just get in the light can you see how thin that red is that that I've just kept took out should be at least all red and probably some more you can see there how thin that is it's millimeters thin some choices it's next to nothing so it's horrendous I think that looks like tarted up to sell it when they sold the house it's not been done properly at all you can see how deep that is that's that's one of the deeper bits but it's just falling out horrendous repointing that I'm going to go up with the grinder as probably as high as I can reach probably about six courses and do my best with it you've got to stop somewhere it probably needs a repoint really see crap and they're close I'm going to get me pick see all that's come out most of that sand lime you can see the red that's absolutely ridiculous that then it's it's wafer thin there you go how to repoint the funds of the house badly when you stand back at the distance and look oh nice red repointing there but it's absolutely crap shocking job so we'll get it right we'll get it fixed there we go 19 I think that just banged his thumb you're right and you know what my role is brick cleaning thankfully this mortar it's just it's nice and soft but it's not soft enough that it's too brittle so it's nice and just snaps off nice and easily so that's been my job I think he's not got much left to go so once I've got all them cleaned up we'll get that scaffold tidied up again sweep it all off get them bricks restacked up get our trusty get our trusty rhino build stands up and get brick clean obviously like dad said as well we've got some red and black dye so we can try and match this quite darkish red tint to go with the cut that to go with the wall so yeah that's a little update for now I better get cleaning so see you in a bit we're all out we're all propped took a bit of extra grinding out there the whole thing needs repointing but you can only go as far as you can reach that's that's a whole separate job that now I'm gonna speak to the customer about that but anyway it's another boot lintel it's just a flat piece of concrete which is absolutely crap we're working that's it obviously it's in the cavity I don't know if these jams are supposed to be built up a bit bigger to take it but look can we have that bricks cut back you can see it's dropped plus 10mm no wonder it's all moved this thing's moved now what I'm going to speak to the customer is he's getting a 2700 angle line which will reach us onto the solid brick actually run it onto a bed I might put a piece of damp cloth underneath put a bed across it and actually bed the lintel across with a couple of packers in it just to stop it sagging so it's actually bedded in and then rebuild it the other option is take this thing out but um if we take this out we're going to lose the plaster inside we're going to need a whole other course of bricks bricks are discontinued and it'll look odd with this like a row of different bricks plus you're going to lose the feature of the white block above the doors so I'm going to recommend to put the lintel in it and then just put back as it is new tray and then get it put back let's see where the tray is up here a couple of the soldiers yes um that's where we are now I'm going to go and speak to the customer now and now we'll get back to you if we do if we do go for the lintel which I think they probably will it's going to be a 2700 angle line which will have quite a big upstand on it so we probably won't get the probably won't get the train today but we'll see so yeah I'll catch you in a bit with a news update right after a good course straight an hour and a half we've got the lintel got that from forwards picked up from insulation now we're ready to start putting everything back we're just going to sit the lintel on top of this bed it on top pack it so it's um spreading the weight and then it's basically bridging over this we can leave this in then and then put everything back we're going to nail the cover to trace the block work because the people stand on the lintel's quite high so we're going to nail up there drop it down and yeah that's it Alex is just getting the patching done down there he's got three bits to do around the back and yeah it's going to be awkward because I've got soldiers hate soldiers over lintels but um yeah um yeah the the old thing with the nails in the timber lintel stop the lintel tipping back as well I'm going to insulate behind insulate above so um get this camera set up somewhere and get cracking because it's getting on for two o'clock we're getting there it's about what about half four quarter five oh but it's just been one of them there was a rain bit of rain before well I'll say a bit it was quite a heavy cell that stalled progress and um yeah but there's that and I'll take you around back and I'll show you what I've been up to so that is one brick patched up there and these three here now this was really difficult because the bricks are smaller and everything's all skewer but everything's blown out here so it's a more structurally sound than it was before just going to work with the cars you're giving sometimes but that's the progress update we're getting there at least it's uh hopefully not going to take us too long and then once dad's got that scaffold stripped I can uh get that crap underneath and what else yeah mix it'll be getting cleaned up now too so I can pack that away and start getting some other stuff packed so I'll pass you back to dad this is a quick outro we're not finished yet but we're gonna have to do it soon because it's two minutes to six and I think the sun sets at six so it looks lighter than it is because we've got a I've got a security light but yeah we've just got a bit of tidying up to do and we're away but there you go job done I think we took um I think it's the soldiers in three in various places and went up next to three I think to repoint so as you can see we've got new training and then new vents so that thing that concrete thing I don't I don't know what they think when you built them in but um that slipped forward and obviously the brickwork went with it so we've left that in put ourselves a new angle lining bedded it on top of that packed it so it won't sag so now that angle line's doing all the work and so it's not going to move again now because there's no weight on it because the angle line is taking the weight and we've rebuilt it and repointed it so it's a lot tidier now a lot safer and like I said the um the repointing's been done but it's a bit ropey it could do with being repointed properly really and I think it was done even the bit we've built we'd better redo that so the whole thing's the same color so um I'll put this camera down and I'll uh no I won't put this camera down I'll hand this camera to Alex and I'll carry him tidying up while he does our outro which he hasn't done for a while so I wonder how many takes this is going to take oh look at nice clean winder just a little bit on the corner I'll get the uh there's a couple of nails left in isn't there yeah I was always driving towards work so here we go it's been a while since I've had to hold a GoPro like this so there we have it a very long day but
