 And good morning from the van. I should check this before I start filming shouldn't I? It's the 16th of March 2022 and it's another little video. This is actually the third little job we've done in a row on this estate this week. These are all the jobs we've done since we came back from Leamington Spa. We've got a big job coming up but we're trying to get all the little smaller jobs out of the way first. So I might just cut all that off anyway. So good morning from the van from Alex and Steve. Steve and Alex, however you want to say it. We're back at a job we did almost four years ago just after we started the channel. And there's no problem with it. Let's have a look. Beautiful work job we did. But it's this lovely work job we did. Just the back of it there. This is the pillar. But we're not here for brick work. We're here for another little job. Or good one as usual. Once these chestless go up that's our access gun. Got our soil piping away. But as you can see all the brick works dropped. And during the bad weather storms it let water in. So customers just have a look. I thought the whole house needed to be pointing. I said no. Standard issue. Little missing. As you can see when the board doesn't line up there's no way lintel can go through there. So what we're going to do is usual thing. Take the brick and edge out. Another two courses up. Take those loose brick out as well at the triangle. Go back to the air brick. Go back to this pipe. New lintel across. One course up on top of that half there. That's it. And then we're going to put a new tray in. New vents and break it all back up. And just repoint any cracks that are left. So that's today's job. And this is the third job in a row that we've done on this estate now. We're going to call it lintels by Stephen Alex because that's all we seem to do lately. Do a lot of these. They're either missing or rusted. So we'll sign off for now and get all these things set up. And start making holes in this wall. Right, as you've probably seen on a bit of the time, that's all set up. All the gears here. You wouldn't believe the amount of stuff we need just to do a lintel. So it's just mad. So while Alex has been getting all the gear in, I've raked out all the loose brick work. Took it right back. So they scraped off the motor. Because the customer repointed it with the finger a couple of years ago. So scraped the bricks off. So I've only gone down to here. Because this course is coming out now. Back to here. And back to the air brick. And as I say, we're going to whip these out, whip these out, whip these out. And then I spoke to the customer yesterday and the house isn't insulated. So we won't be putting insulation in because there's no point. But yeah. Back on town, that's where we get all this out. First job, get the drill in. Get us a hole in. And then in with the reciprocating saw. The used to do it over the drill and grinder. But that was so much messier. I mean, modern houses you would need that because of the motor. But this line motor comes out easily with the saw. And then there's the saw blade. Wash, endurance brick. Carbide technology. About 15 to 20 quid. Tool station, screw fix. We got our some berries. But that's the blade. Absolutely brilliant. A lot of people keep asking about those. So I'll keep mentioning it anyway. So there you go. Back on time-lapse and off we go. Right. You wear time-lapse and then are you supposed to be? But somebody didn't press play. I'll show you around, show you what we've done. The first acro is in. We'll cut out to there with the reciprocating saw. So they're not coming out yet. And then there you go. That's what the cabin's like. No insulation. And this is all just built up on the tray. From above. So we'll cut out to here. I'm not going to take all the rest of this out now. Open it all up. We'll cut them out with the reciprocating saw again. It pops out. And then these things will just come out. We don't have to be careful with these because they're going. I'm going to put a new course of brick through there. A little up to there. So here, keep cracking on. Get this next acro in. And keep going. There you go. Just stopped the time-lapse just to show you this. There's the tray. Which is in good nick. They usually are. But it's still coming out. And this is the snaps on the tray. See where the back of the brick was. It's absolutely solid. No wonder it was leaking in. Because the board is getting in. It's just tracking through all this. There you go. So even the dirty trays nowadays are cleaning the trays back then. Terrible. Anyway, let's carry on. Here we go. Break time. Gonna be fun getting a cavity tray up there. I'm going to have to get it in here somehow. It's looking under that course. Yep. This end's ready. Got a little to here. Then our upstand here. This only packing up when we do it. And then we've just got to get this out and this. Which is all good to this here but we'll manage. So it's too big to come out and then we can start putting everything back. Where the forecast isn't good for today but at the moment it's not looking too bad. So we're going to go for a brew. So yeah, see you in a minute. We're out for the lintel. Upstand of the tray. Ready for the lintel to go in. Pack it up to here. And then put a trimmer with that. This is coming out. You're going to see all the crap that's come out of there. That wasn't completely blocked. The cavity, that's just where the air vent's in. And you can see the cavity around the vent. So it's venting the house and not the cavity but anyway. Yeah. I'm just going to knock these tops off so we can get the tray under there. Underneath that course. You can see all that in, get it nailed in. Just about get it in there. So yeah, that's it. Just a quick one. Been sent these by Roughneck. Gorilla chisels. Got a point. And the electrician's bolster I think it is. And these handles actually, you can actually remove the handles. Which I think I probably end up doing. I'm not keen on the handles but we'll give it a go as they are. So I'm going to use this small bolster to chip away these tops of these bricks here. Because they are quite soft. So yeah, let's get this prepped ready for the lintel and then we'll get batching a bit. Having the tidy up. We're on to the next stage now. Which is inserting our angle iron. Which will give us 150 seat in each side. And then we've got three course of brick to go back in. You'll see there's no insulation in the cavity. So there's no point in us insulating this little tiny bit. Might just do behind the lintel. And then if they do ever get it injected that bit will be insulated otherwise the tray going over. The insulation won't be able to blow it in there. So I'll just insulate it behind under the cavity tray. And we've chipped out under here. So we can tuck the cavity tray under there and get a seal over it. Which my glamorous systems have just delivered. So I'm going to get that cut. Get that put in with a couple of cut nails to hold it in place. And then put a bead of silicone across it. Just hold it in. So yeah, let's crack on with that. Yeah, this is going to be normal speed just to show how bloody awkward this bit is. So as he does this now. I'm going to get the mix finished up and ready. I just need to get a few more turns and get him his bucket. And then we can get that lintel set on. And then you can get his line up and start the brick work. So actually back up to him though I'll get better sources. That's what we use. Little puzzle of twist nails. What are they about 25-30mm. These you find loads and just lying around on the floor. Especially on site. So I never walk past them. Always pick up and put them in the bag. Always coming very handy for this kind of stuff. So as you can see as I point out at my tuck pointer. There's a lip under there. So I'm going to run along that silicone nail. Put a nice bead of silicone to seal that back to there. Stop it moving. It's nailed in as well. Nice. Nice. A brand new cavity trail. Nice and sealed. There won't be any more leaks here. This plasterboard on the top was actually disintegrated. Because it's been damp. So eventually the customer will need to just re-plaster the top of this jam. So I'll let them know about that. But for now I'm going to get this silicone up. And then get this lintel. There you go. Nailed in. Sealed in. It's not pretty but it's not going anywhere. That's a full tube of silicone gone in there. Don't need any of that yet. I've got to go get the bricks. You don't yet? No. I'm just going to get set up and then you tidy up while I'm gone. That's what I mean. You're probably as quick just dropping this tidy up. I'm not dropping it in when they're back up. You've got no way to put it in in the meantime. You suppose I can put this way, the other way is back in the find. Right. That's going to hop up. I'm going to get this lintel set up now. I can't do it till I get the bricks. You've got bricks to start with, that's on here. Yeah, I want to get the bricks on the bottom. Plus I've got to get the trim as well. I've got to go get stuff so I can get it all done. Right, any bits of brick put in here? Sit the lintel on. Do you have all that still up there though? Pointing trowel, top pointer. Everything? Line. Yeah. And what you should do really is measure from there to there. So the lintel is parallel. Sometimes you have to keep going straight down. So we've got to make that gap up. So I'm going to need a 15mm strip. I'm going to do a bit of wood really, put the strip to sit attached to. I'm going to grab some of that. Why are you not going to? There you go, lintel set. Bed it on. Move the point level, Nick, because that's what it is, what it is. You can't level the lintel because you've got to follow the beds. So we just need to pack it up. Put some timber in to give something for the strip to attach to. Then we'll drop the cover straight down, set it all up, cut it back. And then it's ready to get built. So maybe you've fooled that for a bit. I'm going to show you the lintel progress, but I'll show you my task. So accros are out, obviously. We've got to get them in the van once the truss is taken down. I'm going to give that a quick clean, get rid of that mortar, put it in that bag, give all that a quick clean, get the tools cleaned. I'm doing all the tidying up and all the cleaning up while he gets the trim put in, but I'll take you over to him so you can show you the lintel. There we have it. Job complete, just as the rain started to come down. Yeah, jobs are going. You can just see the odd new brick dotted in before new bricks. Got rid of the brick and edge. Lifted the lintel up to the nearest course. Upstand, vent, vent, vent, vent, upstand. So the tray goes right across, right up here, and it should be no more trouble with any water getting in there now. What I'm going to do is get this trim on, get it sealed up. I'm going to put a bit of seal around this just in case the water is getting in around this pipe. I'll get a bit of silicone around that as well. Oh yeah, that's it. I'm going to get it tidied up and get out of here. I'm going to get a bit wet doing it, but job and knock, so not so bad. And it's 10 to 3. Here we go. So yeah, we'll stick it on town until we get it tidied up and then we'll see you in a bit. That's the few bits away. It is 10 to 4. Not bad. It slowed us down a bit because it started raining. I actually just been cleaning up the threshold as best he could. The cart wasn't mucky because it wasn't covered, but it's raining since we got here. But anyway, here we go. The finished article. As I said, three courses out. New tray. One, two, three, four, five new vents. New lintel, new trim. Because I've raised the brickwork up, it's made the gap bigger. So there's timber in the gap and we've stuck the trim to that sealed all the way around and just gone back into the old seal. But it's all sealed up now. Yeah, that's it. I've just remembered now I'm going to seal around the soil pipes. I'll just do that now before we go. That's it, that's just finished. Another lintel done. That's four lintels we've done this week. So yeah, the lintel videos seem to do well because a lot of people have dodgy lintels.
