 Alright guys, welcome back to the channel. I'll be your tour guide today. My name is Sean Enox. This is a slab A lot of people have asked requested a tour of the slab. So that's what we're gonna give you right now It's what used to be a restaurant called square waffle back in the day But the owner the owner actually burnt it down. I don't think business is going too well Actually, I had here a couple of times and it wasn't that bad. So it was a bit of a bummer when you burnt it down I was back in 2013. So 2020 now it burnt down in 2013 at seven years It's been sitting abandoned like this. It hasn't always been so full of grass and weeds and stuff It used to be a lot smoother believe it or not, but this is a state. It's at today. Let's enter the slab here I'm just gonna start from the quarter pipe guys. So I think this was DIY diaries episode 4 We did the quarter pipe took over three or four days because of the rain and whatnot got that sorted out That wasn't the first thing we built here though The first thing we built was a curb, but we'll get to that later We built this in DIY diaries episode 2. I believe just a standing cinder block ledge bit of our angle line here We've cut off that frame over there works pretty well, and then we have the China gap here also This was DIY diaries episode 5. I believe Got this knocked out it rained that day as well So that took a couple of days as you can see half the floor here is tiled and the other half is just a concrete slab So I've had to come along with a few bags of cement Patch this up so you can roll up it. You don't have to bonk up it This side turned out a lot better than the other side I did this in one go took me like 40 minutes in the other side. I've done three times I still can't get it right. So this was the actual first thing that was installed here up at the slab Actually pulled this curb myself, so Had the help of a mate. We got this poured I think I left it for about three four days before we put it out of the mold painted it Tracked it on top of some cinder blocks and glued it all down So this was the first feature here at the slab. This is the og slab first piece since then We pretty much got this rail knocked out had a friend of mine helped me out again So we fabricated this rail got a dino bolted into the tile here, and then we put this ledge together as well So all I did was I think I got about 20 cinder blocks, and then I bought a bit angle iron Most of the stuff here I've used liquid nails to put together so I Haven't had to use concrete only for like the ground All of the rest of the stuff is glued down with liquid nails, so Shouts out to liquid nails. We pretty much got this rail this ledge and the pole jam done in one episode I'll show you guys the pole jam So this pole jam here actually has a base plate underneath comes out about that far We had bolted it into the ground But it snapped out so we had to kind of chip away at the tile to bolt it right into the slab And then we just cemented over the top to give it that extra bit of strength the material that we used for this pole Jam was sourced from the slab. We just found it laying around Had my mate Daniel cut and shut it on an angle and we got a bolted in and cemented So it's good as gold. This is so fun to skate as well moving along So thankfully we had this manual pad that was already a part of the slab kind of thing as you guys can see You can only up from the tiled section here Pop up all along. But where you land is quite rough. The scrown down here is quite rough So eventually I might put some self-leveling cement down So once you land from the manual pad You can land or you can go this way as well because if you're trying to skate it this way It's really hard. We've got this wedge spine thing built in the last episode of DIY Diary So if you haven't seen it yet go and check it out. It only took a day to build it didn't rain Thankfully. Yeah, super fun to skate It's portable so you can move it around the slab and take it wherever you want Looks like someone's been skating it against here, but this is like super fun Had a lot of fun building it had a lot of fun skating it if you guys didn't know actually had a bunch of people donate money For the cement for this slab so shouts out to everyone that donated and a friend of mine Vincent He actually donated some rails and stuff including this metal bench We just sit on it because it's too it's too high to skate Leon can skate it because he's tall But we usually use this as a bench. I've installed a bin I've got an empty soon because it's getting quite full, but this is a flat ground section of the slab As you can see guys the ground here is pretty smooth So it's really good to have a game of skate or warm up or get your flip tricks down Decent amount of area here to skate in but yeah a few boards have shot off the side here He's probably wouldn't want to fall off the edge of the slab because it's about a 12 foot drop To the ground there and people have People come down here and push things off the edge and it looks like someone's thrown a rail into that bush there With some young kids just right here This is a set of stairs that everyone wants me to clean up to skate But I just don't think it's worth it because someone's not going to come here and skate it each time They're at the slab kind of thing So I just don't see the point But this is a stair so everyone wants me to clean up for some reason now we're entering Unknown territory for you guys I don't think users seen much of around the side of the slab or underneath There's a fair amount of space back here as well It's a shame the ground's so rough because it would have been sick to build some stuff down here because it's even further out of the public I yeah, like I said the ground's rough as guts I don't imagine anyone's keen to skate on the car park back here So yeah, you guys follow me around we have a library here There's a bunch of books that have been dropped here that someone's done There few of these books ended up in the fill of the China gap a few people got upset that I use books as Fill but like I said in those videos guys half these books are water damaged the other half They've been used as kindling to light fires. So, you know, I figured I'd put them to good use But anyway, let's move on quite derelict down here. Got a couple of mattresses here I've got no idea where they've come from. There was someone living here We'll show you that in a second this place was never this thrash, but over the years. It's just become the local hangout Young smoke Smoke weed and hang out and whatnot. So it's pretty gnarly down here Like I said guys, the owner actually burnt this place down. So this would have been storage But yeah, there's a bunch of dumped rubbish and stuff some more books some old records and stuff just General was a jacket Rainbird some shelving here. I've got some bits of leftover wood We use for the forms on the China gap if anyone does know where this spot is and they want to come skate More than welcome to come skate But if he's go walking around downstairs, just be very careful because there are syringes littered everywhere down here So I'd hate to know that one of you guys got pricked by a used syringe down here As you guys can see more fire damage more destruction A lot of a drywall here. I Think this was a back office because it has a safe There's a safe here someone's had a crack at it already doubt. There's anything in it But yeah, it's just more fire damaged kind of Stuff under here, and then we've got a fridge Freezer here. We've just got some graffiti with the wheelbarrow we use Some old magazines Lighter pair of dirty undies a bomb That's about it Anyone that knows anything about Australian graffiti They will know that crunch paint was like one of the best things to come out of Australia graffiti wise Awesome brand of paint. They don't make it anymore. Oh Like I said guys, you got to watch your footing down here. It's like another freezer in here Some more stuff. Oh We've got a menu look at that Half a square waffle menu. I don't think they had any vegan options though back in the day But they had some I used to come here before I was a vegan So what we get where the desserts? Yeah, desserts. That's what the desserts going for 10 bucks This is probably why this place went out of business if you're charging 10 bucks for like a decent sized dessert It's too cheap. You've got to put your prices up But yeah, as you can see guys $10 you can get a orange Panna Cotta waffle butterscotch pudding waffle vanilla poached pear waffle. It's a whole bunch That's really cheap for a dessert Come through this way guys. We've got another freezer It echo in here a lot of people have asked to build skating stuff down here Like put a ramp in a rail, but you can't because it's pitch black in here guys So you guys an idea how dark it is. I'll turn my light off for a second Can't see a thing So this one might have been the kitchen down here then Because up top was just like a a serving room, I think Someone was living here. This is his his dorm here. He's got his single mattress Some Nutri-grain some cigarette butts a sharp disposal unit a couple books Just a bunch of random rubbish around here some clothes suitcase It's a high-biz jacket. I don't know why that's wrapped in plastic But yeah, I don't think he's here living anymore because I haven't seen him in like two months Almost it's not the most safest place to walk around. So I don't recommend coming in here I'll have cleaned up in here a bit. So right here guys This is a spot where all the young local stoners like to come and smoke weed and hang out and listen to music and stuff Things light and tasty. That's a stoner food right there. You're only buying this food if you're stoned Yeah, this is where people hang out and smoke weed and stuff that we've never really had a problem with them They've always been kind of cool with us So, you know, we're cool with them too. This place was a lot worse than they've cleaned it up a little bit by the looks of it Not much else in here got my bags of cement stored Well tucked in away from the rain and that takes us back to the set of stairs here I really wanted to um, I really wanted to cut this rail out and then build like a rail with it like a feature But um could possibly still do it I'm just not sure how this would be sick on the other side of the manual pad So when you come down hit this rail that could be a video. I'm not sure, but yeah, as you guys can see just more rubbish So that pretty much takes us back up to the top of this lab here It's a lot of long grass down here and a couple of fences that we cut up to use as rebar I Don't like going walking around in here because your clothes just get so full of farmers friends And it's really hard to take them off. That's pretty much it for this lab guys. I mean I've taken you Across the whole top down the side underneath. That's pretty much it. There's a motel next door here the Hermitage motel I feel like they should add on their Travago page that there's a DIY skate park next door might boost their bookings Maybe who knows in the afternoon. It's really cool because the sun sets behind those hills just here There's a nice glow golden hour effect on the slab It's really fun to skate around with your mates when it's a golden hour up here There's so many people that have commented asked like what happens when they knock it down or when the council finds out or You know We've even had Ralph from next door come up and tell us that they're gonna bulldoze this place next month and build apartments and whatnot But like I said guys the owner of the restaurant here. He burnt it down. It's an insurance job So the bank now owns this property. They're holding it at a loss because no one's gonna buy it What do you guys reckon I should start to go find me and buy this slab off the bank you think it would work Who's came to donate so we can buy this place turn it into a real park donate about half a million dollars Yeah, about 500 K as you guys can see all that's left of the old square waffle here is this sign behind me I should really get up there and write the slab on it. What do you guys reckon? What do you guys keep asking how I found this place? Like I said, I've known about it since 2013 as you can see It's a very busy road here behind me and This spot's kind of hidden in plain view unless you're driving into Camel town and you're looking you won't find it What's really funny guys is if you guys can see this big green building behind me Me and my mate Zach were going in there taking photos and stuff and that's where we were going to originally build a DIY but it ended up getting shut down because someone bought it. So it's kind of ironic how we just had to go next door to find A spot you guys are familiar with my channel at all I did make a ledge in a different spot It's in an abandoned mall or semi-abandoned mall that mall is not abandoned anymore like people are building on that site right Now they're gonna make it high-rise apartment. So I decided not to build there and I've heard of people going there skating and getting fined So if you guys gonna go and skate there, just watch out for the cops That pretty much brings us to the end of the DIY slab tour. I hope you guys enjoyed this video I hope I covered everything in this video had to do a lot of talking if you want to keep up to what I'm doing Head on over to Instagram. Follow me at enuckism. I usually post a lot more over there until next time guys Cheers for watching the video and I'll catch all of you all in the next one Tonight on Unsolved Mysteries
