 Good morning and happy new year. 2022, where the hell? So as you can tell we're starting off strong, we're back at the A&E job. Right, 5 to 4, did not expect us to be doing it this long but we've got all the insulation backed up and that is a very productive afternoon. Eventually those headers are going to run through the headers on the house there. Because like we keep saying, it's the main thing we're focusing on, to make sure it bonds right up here. We're going to make sure it looks nice up there, that's just fancy pointing technique. Just standard weatherstruck pointing. There you go, because have we filmed any of this before? Weatherstriking? Yeah. So a bit of weatherstriking this time round, my first time doing it at least. It's not easy. No, especially with bricks and they drink the water out of the mortar. Yeah. Looking nice though, isn't it? It's coming along. Yeah. Oh yeah, hopefully we've showed this yet. So we've got some polythene on the plinth just to keep them nice and tidy. And then when we're done, just cut that off and repoint it. So all the plinth work on today is still staying nice and tidy. Even if the snot's fall off, I might as well go and get some more bricks in. Check out now, English bond is best when you take a step back and have a look at it as a whole. Look at that. What a gorgeous bond that is. I keep saying this, but the mortar as well just compliments the bricks so nicely. Really stands out, looks great. Snowcrete, pretty good stuff. And all the trusses and planks have gone from this part as well, so we can all walk past here no problems, but that's looking great, that. Flipping marvellous. It's nice to see something coming up, isn't it? Yeah. It's the first time doing this on such a big scale too. There we go, Tom's also getting our best angles again. It's all good. Quick, get to our best angles. Right, let's get something done in the shower. Right, and good morning on Friday the 17th. It's our last Friday here this year. We stayed up until the Christmas break, which will be Wednesday. But enough about that, let's focus on the present. So, today it's full steam ahead for as much as we can. Alex is already blazing ahead. Dad's got the mixture ready. Neil's helping us with our cuts today. He's cutting our blocks for us. Since today we're on the block work. Good morning and happy new year. 2022. As you can tell we're starting off strong, we're back at the A&E job. It's actually our second day, but first day wasn't really much to film, so I'll show you what we've done. We rearranged the G-deck in it. We swapped all the big legs for smaller legs at the top and shifted the platforms up. So now we've got no, we've got no bits sticking up at the top now, so we've got no trip hazards. Morning, Liam. Excited for the day. So now we've swapped the legs and got the platforms up. There's no more trip hazards. With Tony's help, the four of us got that roof back up. We strapped it down. We're going to pin it in so that shouldn't be going anywhere, but we'll make sure to keep an eye on that in the wind. And so what we're doing right now is we're moving the ladder inside so the Tony tent can now fit in and we can keep the pillars safe then, safe from the rain, safe from the weather. The ladder's going up. They've got the straps in now, gates in, all that stuff. And there we go. Tents are up. We are weather proof once again. So the weather's getting a bit warmer as well, so we should be able to get a mix in now and get cracking. I think we may be starting on the pillar since we've covered up, so let's get it. Just give you a quick look from the top of the G-ZEC now and see how much better it is. Now, I don't know if you saw last time, but obviously all the legs were up to here, all the way across. So now we've got rid of that. It's nice and smooth. Also, John gave us a hand. Alex's hand getting all this set up, so now we're braced against here. Alex was also getting ceiling level. So now we know where we're working to. Now where our padstones are going to go and everything, so. It was a bit of a fiddly day, but one of the necessary days, you know, to get everything sorted for today. And then here's a better look at where the proof's ceiling, all bonded in. We're going to pin it down as well eventually once we get the airpins up here. And I think, yeah. So I'm just going to bring some block down now and we're going to get four courses of block up on those pillars. So we've got two pillars ready. Take you to this side. There we go, all set up. We can only go four up at the moment because it is very wobbly, so we've got it propped up with the level for now. And we've got to wait for that to go off for a bit. Then we can get the insulation going in, tape it up just like over there. Then we can get some brick work to back it up. I don't know when that's going to be, but that's the plan with these pillars. So what's the next plan, Dad? Get the insulation on. Right, so. Yeah. So we're going to get on padstone height after the break. So as you can see, all these kindly cutters are our insulation pieces to fit. So after break we'll get these all taped up, get the UFOs put on, and then we can get up to padstone height then. And then even maybe get some bricks running for break or lunch. Third lunch, sorry. So that's the battle plan. We'll catch you after the break. And I've nearly got the cuts done. The 175 cuts, enough for one course on here, which is these. I'm just doing it with our saw. Leave Liam on the, doing the bricks. Just keep pushing things along. Alex is going to give us another pack of block. And then my Alex is going to jump up here with me in a minute and get these two, two courses back done. Didn't expect us to be doing it this long, but we've got all the insulation backed up now. Got the insulation backed on, we've got the flying saucers on, and it's all taped up. So we're definitely ready to just blast this out tomorrow. Liam's been cutting our bricks and passing them up for us, so we're all loaded out. For a good start at least. Yep, I'll take a break. Yeah, so it'll just be me in there. There you go. Good morning. We've made it Thursday the 6th of January, back at work. Unfortunately, it's minus one. So as you can see, glistening the lights, the saw at the top, we've got a roof over that now. We've got a canopy over here for the pillars. The scaffold's all been lifted. Padstone's up there now. So we're getting a big diesel heater apparently. It's coming in here to beat the cold. Yeah, I won't keep you up there will it? You can do the little one. Yeah, so it's going here somewhere. It's got two exhausts, one's going into the house, and one's going in here. Obviously we've got the tent up for our pillars. We've got the roof up for that side. So we've got this side to go on with, we've got the front to go on with, so we can more level everything up to this. There's just three of us today, so we're just going to crack on. We're going to get these heat set up and take it from there. The ultimate cross-protection. Yeah, we'll take the first 10 minutes. Exhaust into the house, and we're getting one on this side. So if you've seen ET, this is like ET. You've got tents up, and hoses, and vents. Yeah. So this is us today. Constructing the pillars. So we need to let the sides up, obviously, to put them on the line through, but then everything drops down at night. We're all cross-protected. So that's us. As soon as lean gets on, mixing. But we need to get some bricks loaded out. Yeah. To do the tent. We've got the ice on there. So we've got, we need some bricks to sort out as well. We've got the headers and stretches. Well, while he's doing the mix now, we can start getting some bricks. Yeah, cool. I feel the heater already. There's our heater. And there we go. Brick works set on both the pillars. It's only mixed for a nice job. It's a bit fiddly with all the cuts, but you can't go wrong with English Bond. So, and as you can see, next lift of block ready. So tomorrow will be same as today. Dad's going to get the insulation cut now since we've got a bit of time. Get this cut and ready for tomorrow. We'll get it taped up tomorrow once all the block works gone off a bit. Tape it up, get our UFOs put on, and then we can get more brick on. But for now, that's us done for today. Very fiddly day today, but certainly satisfying to look at. Right, we will see you tomorrow. Good morning on this very brisk Tuesday. Brisk and wet. And still dark at the moment. Well, doesn't matter, does it? We have the tent. And when we've finished on these pillars, which we're going to be concentrating on this morning, up to about here, we can't go too high because I've got to get the tape on the insulation. So about there, mind you, we don't want to go too high anyway. We want to be still what we're doing. We can move on onto this side, which has a full on roof on it. This is the shallow end. So, yeah, we've got to get this insulated, Liam's going to get a mix thrown in and we're going to get this face work up. So there we go. Good morning. We are back on it, back in the villa. It is another freezer today. So we're going to be delayed on the brickwork again. All because of this bloody weather. But we're going to keep ourselves busy else, how? So the task for today until the weather gets a bit better is we're going to get these pillars propped up, and we're going to get embraced, which I'll take you to come and have a look at in a second. So once they're propped up, then pillars will be nice and secure. Give me some peace of mind because it's so anxiety inducing watching them wobble. But anyway, then after that, I think we're going to make a start taking down the blocks for the double door for the kitchen, I believe it is. Either way, we're going to get ready for the steel job there. More starters are in there ready. We're going to take it down, get it propped, get the steel in when that arrives, and get cracking. And then hopefully it's meant to get a bit warmer at lunchtime-ish. So it's going to make ourselves busy to lunchtime. Then we can hopefully get cracking on getting the padstones in. We're all set out. My dad's cut the blockwork ready for the padstones to go in. I've made a hole in the brickwork to get them two padstones in. So we should be ready to get going where there's what we're waiting on. So I'll get you over there and show you what we're doing with these pillars. I'm just really quick as well. I'm not sure if I'm showing this on the video yet but very kindly had these sent to us from RhinoBuild. So thank you very much for these Rhino. These are going to come in really handy. They can really get some good use out of these. So big thanks to RhinoBuild. Save ourselves a copyright. So I'll just get this set up here. Can you explain how we're propping these pillars dad? Pillars are braced. Both of them. And if you look here, nice and solid. They won't shake as much anymore. Thank God. So obviously we've braced them up here. Got a brace along there. That's screwed in there and at the bottom as well. It's actually screwed into the into the beam work. So that'll move in. So they're nice and secure until we get them up and ready. And there's our lintels. He said the HD lintels these, didn't he dad? They said these are HD ones aren't they? Yeah, so these are upgraded heavy-duty lintels. So they're going to be excellent for supporting the weight that's going to be for these pillars. So now we're going to make ourselves busy inside because it is still absolutely freezing. My toes have gone. So let's get inside and do some work. So as you've just saw in that time lapse, Brian's been busy getting his little door set up. That's going to make life a whole lot easier for everybody. It's going to stop all the noise in the morning. We're not carrying this thing around up and about the place. We don't have to bolt it back up and unbolt it in the mornings, just in case of opening and closing. So we're going to get some locks and such. It's going to be easier. Me as well, right? So now, we're going to do that. Right off we through our filming. Pat's stones are up. Oh my God. Were they heavy, Dad? They were heavy. Easily about 50 kilograms, weren't they? Easily getting there at least. But they're up. So Dad's just going to join us up now. I'm going to finish tidying up. I'm going to get them hessian tonight so they don't get damaged and get frosted. But we've done it. They're up on there as well. Not just them pillars, all four are up for this side. So we're going to be assigning ourselves a mission. Of course. Yeah. So. Same as always. We're going to go inside and do what we can inside for a bit. I've just put the block up. So the plan I came today so I've just put the block up around it so it's all ready. So tomorrow we'll get that pointed up and patched up properly and then we can start on the double doors. And then when the weather comes up a bit try and get these brick in back up then. Right, so let's get this hessian over and let's get it back. And the big push of day will be getting the brick work up on these pillars. Blocks are about a whole weekend to dry off. Pat's stones are nice and set. Got lots. It's three degrees already so it's the warmest we've had it all January. So I'll get it set up while we do all this on timelapse and keep up days as we go along. Next step should be getting all that back up. As I said before, brought a pack there and some loose bits. The tape should be somewhere as well. So it's just a case of getting started. We'll get the saw in a minute and get all that cut to get it cleaned up. The insulation popped in. This one's for you dad, just for you. What have you left for me again? I'm going to see if we can cut brick today. I've got to do some brick work so you're going to feel nice. And that is both of the pillars insulated up, ready for the bricks to go on now. I think Al's just getting the profiles got our mix ready. So just a case of getting set up and cracking on. Dad's going to have to turn it to London Sea Child Bonds for reasons. Hopefully by the time this video is out I don't know why. But yeah. So it's just me and Al today. So we'll get cracking next weekend. And there it is. They're finished. The pillars are up to level height. Oh my God, fine. Just to show you now. There you go. 10 foot of English Bond. So now we've got that done. Thank God. I'm going to ask for the day to get stuff sorted and maybe get a course of block in there. Catch them padstones. And just give us something to do for the end of the day. But we've done this. We've done the pillars. I've managed to do the pillars along with Alex of course. But that one's mine. And obviously we've got them hessied up. So they're going to be nice and frost proof. Whenever the weather goes nice tomorrow the windows are on. So obviously now that they're up it's a little bit shady. So we'll be securing the pillars hopefully. We're ready to get going. Mortars on, lines up. We're using the Fitzbrick clamps. The absolute trotters. So we're just going to get this run in. Get these padstones caught in with the blocks. We saw somewhere. Here it is. So we've got that ready to get our cuts in. It's nice that we'll end of the day task. The padstones make some smug in. Don't mean to sound biased but I think me and Alex have smashed it today. The bricklaying with Alex and Alex special. But he decked them up as well. Did that this morning. GDX level ready for the brickwork over there. I was just giving out a brush now. But we've got that two more courses up and of course pillars are ready for windows tomorrow. We're in a really good place now. Hopefully we'll keep this going. So this is me signing off for today. Catch us in the next one. A quick a quick look up here. Just give you a quick look up here from to get cracking. We've got the good old fashion. No.
