 Alright guys welcome back to the channel. It's a special kind of video I guess everyone's been asking for more DIY stuff So I'm out here today with one of San Diego's finest mr. Zack Doughty Been meeting to meet up for a minute How are you sir? You've been like just put it on the record favorite youtuber you Dan Dell. Oh, man. Thank you I'm so sick to like meet up with you. I feel honored Thank you dude But yeah, we're out at this slab spot out here in San Diego that Zach has brought me to and There used to be a DIY here back. I don't know six seven eight years ago now But we're gonna test the waters. We're gonna build a couple things today and see how it goes Where the spot is it's in like a big nature reserve here This house is that are far enough away keep out of the view of the DIY spot So they can't really see what's going on unless they walk up here But yeah, this slide has been sitting like this for God knows how long so we're gonna Check this place out and then head down to either Home Depot or Lowe's pick up some stuff and then get to building So yeah, I think it's a DIY diaries ever so nine maybe or ten. I don't know. It's been a while. Yeah Yeah, we forgot our mask. I got you more massive if they have them inside. Yeah, thank you Thank you Man with the mask. Thank you, sir. Thank you So we're probably gonna need like between 18 to 20 bricks to be able to build this in the block ledge It's gonna be coping on both sides. So I need the bricks angle iron Forking guns and some liquid nails as usual Teamwork makes the dream work Smart guy by prepping up the spot at the hardware store You don't want to get to the spot and then have to go back to the hardware store to pick up supplies You're better off getting more than less You want to be and then you'll better to have it not need it Come back here and that's be a Back said this a lot was poking sir. I'm trying to find where they're poking maybe over there You want to not these bend and break like you can Is that the right size Okay, all right, we got the angle iron you've got a coughing gun We've got a box now. We've got all the bricks Seeing as they don't cut metal here at home deeper. We had to buy a stainless in the vault Metal hacksaw to get it done ourselves We just got hooked up big time right now Zach was just explaining to the lady on check out what we were building we're building a DIY skate spot for the community And then she was like whereabouts is it whereabouts is the area? Kanto, and she's like oh cool. That's what's up, and she gave us a discount of $50. Yeah, she looked it up Yeah, 50 bucks. That's a massive discount. So well shouts out to that lady at home Depot here Shouts out to Jesse for coming out today bringing the truck For all our stuff loaded up here. Oh I would have been I would have been having some trouble trying to put this in the back of my car. Have a look at this bush here guys bunch of gum trees you wouldn't be able to tell if I'm in Western Sydney or San Diego Thankfully, I'm in San Diego today. We got all the cinder blocks up to the slab here We just got to figure out where to place this ledge and we're gonna get the angle iron cut down to size Get it all glued down. Doughty wants to put in a pole jean here today So he's got a bag of quick crete which you can get in this country. Thankfully, we don't have quick crete in Australia He's got this choice Bar here. It looks like it might have been a Street sign or something in its past life. There's a tag on it here. Someone's done with it Solid marker or something, but yeah Pretty keen to rip into this DIY spot. This is DIY from Campbelltown to California. This is DIY building I don't even know what I'm saying. I'm just super excited to be able to build this spot out here It's been a minute and I'm out here in California life is good All right, we got the angle cut shot glued down got some rocks Some older rubble actually from the old DIY build that was here. It's a bunch over there perfect use for A half pipe. Sorry a quarter pipe when the time is right. But yeah, we're gonna let this thing dry keep these Rocks on it and hold it all down in the California Sun Should dry and set pretty quickly. I'd imagine it's quite hot out here today So this spot right here. It's like a nature reserve, but it looks like the ruins of like a navy kind of barracks and There's like a little slab down there. It looks like it could have been a gas station or something But yeah, check out all the rubble from the last DIY build that was here If I can find photos I'll chuck them in but there was like a DIY build here And they went massive straight away like it was big as you can see they are the city knocked it Because I got too crazy and here the here the leftover is the remnants you can tell because It's like super smooth right there and then like all nasty So this would have been the top of the quarter maybe and that would have been the inside It's like a big piece of quarter pipe concrete cake right here Can serve this to someone at their wedding a bit of wedding cake But like honestly look at it out here Like I said, you don't know if I mean Western Sydney this could be like walking through a nature reserve in Penrith or if it's San Diego, you know You just don't know Some more rubble right here next to the green slab here They just knocked it and they didn't want to clean up so they just left it But yeah, check it out like this could have been like a refuelling station here It's got this little island in the middle here some mental pipes and stuff Could come here and fill up the truck And go to wherever you're going If you're in the Navy Another little concrete slab down here Not as smooth as the main one up there But apparently there's a bunch of scattered concrete slabs like this around this whole bit of land here We're building on the main one all right guys. We've got everything Situated we're about to dip right now get some food building dare-wise you work up a big appetite So I think we're gonna get some Mexican food down here in San Diego so keen to skate this thing check it out Honestly a kicker with a pole jam It's gonna be rad All right guys, so this is a few days later had to work all weekend So just walking back up to the spot right now to meet up with Doughty But uh, I believe I've got a bit of sad news So the following day after we built Doughty went down to check out the spot everything seemed all right Couple days after that he went back to check out the spot again And it was completely gone like everything was flattened like there wasn't even like one piece of like rubble from a Cinderblock or anything so the city definitely ripped it out, but yeah kind of sad but Check it out Gone Gone with the wind It's like completely like it's like you're watching a movie and then the movie just ended. Yeah, I had no ending Yeah, it's just flattened just took straight to the titles. Yeah My god, this is where the ledge was you can see the Liquid nails kind of ripped up the pain a little bit Put a ton of liquid nails on this thing too, you can see It really looks like the city did it because like there's no evidence I was looking around for the pool or the ledges the angle iron. There's nothing. Yeah, I look at all the bushes It's completely gone. Yeah, they did a good job like whoever Did it a good job? They did a good job of destroying it though because like whoever did it cleaned up everything Yeah, they would have even picked up the nails. Yeah nails from the ground There would have been way more red you reckon they would have just chipped it and cleaned it It's like if like you just knocked it out like there would have been some all would have been Yeah, I've had people knock out spots. I've built before when you know, it's like like a personal person or a resident It's not like the city. Yeah leave some stuff. They'll leave but there's like it's just flat They would have for sure gotten a truck in here with a bunch of guys with the crew and just knocked it out Yeah so I like how positive you were though like when I facetime you're like well Like I feel like your third thing that you said was like well, do you have any other spots to build out? Yeah I think that's like the right that's what I was trying to do Yeah, cuz I didn't want to be like this isn't my first rodeo of a DIY being destroyed I'm sure it's not yours either. So I'm just like where else can we build that's like the next question I think like anybody. Yeah, especially if you're going to build DIY spots You you accept it right before it like it happens. You're like there's a good chance. It's gonna get torn out Yeah, you don't like roll the punches and I'll let it discourage you from continuing because I think like Some people can like build a spot like you got knock out all my money is gone. So yeah, they just stop there never try Yeah, imagine if like you didn't land your trick right away. You just stopped. Yeah, that's pretty much All right, so Doughty and I are at this other little DIY spot not too far from where we were some cool stuff here It's like a really nice manual pad Really steep fun little quick quarter with some beer can coping check it out But yeah, it's an abandoned slab, I guess There might have been a restaurant or business here because there's a car park right here But yeah, we've got a bunch of parking curbs everywhere Whoo for this cool little manual pad There's a tiny little kicker over there. That's pretty fun But there's a lot of open space here, but yeah The difference being this is private property. So the city can't legally go in and tear it out. So um, yeah I'm just gonna skate here for a bit get some skating clips try to make the most of the day Before the Sun goes down. I think we want to hit a couple other spots too. So yeah, that's where we're at right now
