 Oh, this is going to be my first time using the mixer since it's had its, uh, its plastic surgery, more brand new, brand new, brand new everything, so. It's actually 320 wide this, so we've just got to follow what's there, whereas actually the wall is only, that's probably about 250 at the most. Here's our little trolley, um, got some steels, got some steels in. Good, beautiful morning. We are on a new job. And as you can see, it's a renovation job. We are Monday the 3rd of April. End of the tax year tomorrow for all those un-employed people. And Alex is back, he's had a week off with Nier, and I ended up having a week off too. Nier got dropped off at the airport last night, didn't she? Pardon? Nier got dropped off at the airport last night. Yeah, so he's off there in July I think. Anyway, back to the job in hand, which is, let me step back here. This pillar is going to be extended to 300 mil. This is coming out. There's going to be a third, three, four, and then the steel's going across here. This is the old back of the house. What you see through the door is an extension, so all this is coming out. I think that's coming out too. I've got something in the extension here. You can see this is the old back of the house, and the steel's in already. We're going to strip all this ceiling out so that we're going to prop this. What else are we doing? There's a bit of demolition work somewhere else, I think, upstairs. I'm not sure about that. The other job is that's coming out. And this is going to be locked up because it's block and block because it's rendered to show you this extension brickwork. What do you think of that? I'm going to go in the extension. Obviously you can't tell on camera, but this is a very bouncy floor. So I don't know what's under here. A poorly done timber floor. So we've got five acroes. No, five strong boys, haven't we? Yeah. We've got four Jason's, one of Robbie's. The rest will have to hire. We've got eight acroes of our own. We've got seven on the back. And this is the first video. You're probably going to see it in the beginning of the video. We are now officially sponsored by Milwaukee. So Greg's going to see our tools turning red now. This is the first power tool we've had often, which is a cracking little hoover. Here's the battery. Here's the tools. Runs on the 18 volt batteries. Pretty powerful as well. And it's a wet drive back as well. We'll be putting that through its paces. There'll be plenty of dust in here. So we're here. We've also got a 30 meter tape as well, which is really good. A lot better than the other one we had. So we're going to get ourselves organized to get this ceiling stripped out so we can see where we're propping. And then wait what we need for this door. Then we can nip off. Pick up the acroes and strong boys we need to pick up the blocks. And we've got sand and cement in the van. So yeah, that's pretty much it for now. We've got one socket to work off. One live socket. We've got a bit of running water, so I should imagine the toilet's working upstairs. I hope so. So here. Nice big living room, that. And it's the first beautiful day and we're working inside. So yeah, let's get it on time. Let's get our PPE on and start nicking the ceiling out. Right, we've had a bit of a made a bit of a mess. So we should put our little walkie light on. You get a bit of a theme going now. Right, there we have it. We have a ceiling dropped underneath the ceiling and there's our original joists running the wrong way for us. So we're going to have to prop in and hold it up from there. I haven't took the other side out yet, I'm just showing you the side for now. And then for some reason there's a little steel there, which we didn't know about. Nice big hold drill through it for the electrics. I don't know why that steel's in there. I don't know if it's original or what but I think we're going to have to get the structural engineer back out now. So have a look at that because nobody knew about that. This steel here, they put a steel in and drop the ceiling to cover it. So I've got along here and then this side where they've broke through into the extension. What you call a big F-ing joist, that must be the wall plate for the um, can't be for the roof, that must be just with the ceiling joists. You see it's all bits of crappy all bits of timber, they've used nothing in them properly. This stuff isn't even plastic, well that side wasn't plasterboard, it was like fibreboard. Haven't just seen the distance there. So you've got these two steels in which different heights completely gobbled up. And then you've got, looks like roof have felt up there. Bits of tiles if you've packed it. So obviously we're going to come underneath those steels but I'm going to clue how we're going to prop those steels up because you've got to see the side of it, you've got that massive thing and you've got the joist this side. There goes the GoPro. So yeah it's a weird one that I don't know what's going to go on here. Sorry there's like two pretty small steels in there. Nicely painted though. This is the old back of the house, a padstone in there. So I think because of that steel there we're going to have to get the structural engineer back out, have a tidy up and see what he says. So let's say I'll go in the kitchen bit now and take that ceiling down see we've got that side and get back to you in a bit. There's something down there. Yeah pipes in the way. Oh must have been cut off. We need the wall don't we? Yeah. We need to get 300mm in here. Take measure. Yeah there's a screw in there isn't there. Anyway we've got a clue what's going on here. Pipe running through there. The brick just sat randomly there. Here's the original wall here. Pipe's running through another brick with a very loose floor door staff on it because that's going to have to come out. Yeah. So just keep cutting. Like I said we've got to build a pillar here. We've got to extend this out to 300mm. That's the plan today because we don't know what's going up up there now. We're going to concentrate on this and the door. We can get that done today so we've not wasted our time coming here today and then we're going to have to take a pause and get the structural engineer back out. So I'll hand that to Alex. Let's get this thing cut off. This is great this. Can't beat it. We've had this a while now. Never let us down this. This is the 12 volt. Right. Our best aim might keep and do some talking then. So we've found the walls at least. One there, one there. And on this side there's a subfloor. So that's not as important. The main thing is we have our wall. So we're going to clear all this loose crap out. Gobble it up a little bit and we're going to do it in black flats. And then as we go up we'll once it lines up with the brick work we'll take the brick work out and bond it in and that'll be our pillar. So that should be, should be nice and straight forward. We'll see. First bit of the straight forward and the whole job. Yeah. It's 24 block. 24, 70 block. And we'll have to cut you down. Do that outside can't we? Yeah. But we need more than 24 actually because we need to bond it in don't we? Call it 30. Let's use bricks to bond in. Get some common bricks and bonding with brick work. Like the bonding course and brick work for a couple of course and then back to block. Can do yeah. Yeah. Oh there we are. So I think in a minute then we'll be off to Fairwoods. Grab all this stuff and then while he makes a start with the door and all that I'll clean up all this junk and then we'll help him crack on. So we'll probably see you at Fairwoods after a break. Hello. Look at these blocks in shall we? First one of the week guys. The Holland Horning. The 10-minute warning for the public lunch quiz. Those questions coming along in around 10 minutes time. Now for all trades people all over this wonderful country of ours this tune is for you. It's Tina Turner and the best. Sorry Clive. I'll get copyrighted myself but yeah. Fix Rage 1 at 12 o'clock for us. Alex has had his dinner. We've had a long cacti. We've had a bit of a waste of time and we've forgot our common bricks but I can go back to my gold frame. All that just so you can have his bacon butty. Anyway we're here. I've not done this off. I've been at this 36 years now and this is another first for me. It looks like the door used to be here because that's a that's a clean jam that that's not been chopped off so I'm guessing the back door was here in this area. We've still got a wall underneath which we can build off but this is solid concrete. It looks like it's been cast. If you look here you can make out the the timber pattern in the concrete and then you've got a lot marked there with the shoe which has been shuttered. So that has been shuttered and concreted and it looks like they've cast the padstone in situ as well so obviously that needs coming out. The only thick way I can think of propping this up is obviously this false thing's got to come out all the way across here so we can prop the course above the steel. This steel but we've got a big lump of timber here so there's no way getting into prop that without going up into the room and up across which we don't want to be doing. So I'm thinking to get some angle angle brackets here. Fix them into this timber. Put a few in here with some nice big bolts so they're holding that steel up. I don't need to fix into the steel because it's not it's not going anywhere and then we're going to prop this piece of timber up which will in turn have the brackets which will prop the steel and then we're going to come underneath that with our steels. That's the plan anyway but as I say we're on stop now because we're waiting to see let me get the torch. I'll just recharge this. We've got this steel here very small but I'm guessing it's been putting to take the bounce out the floor. See the joist sits straight on top of it. You want to mess all this like this false ceiling to the right mess. I'm pretty sure it's put in just to go over the steel as they've put in so probably better for the custom they can take the ceiling right back up again but yeah so that's going to make it hard for me now to then cut in with the grinder. Yeah a couple of vertical a couple of horizontal cuts as we go and two then as we go. So now it's time to turn it in or shut it and then well let's move all this. We're getting a grab wagon here so this stuff can't go in a skip so we're going to put this big stuff in here and the small stuff which is going to pile against this wall. We'll probably put the mixer in this room. I've just checked the drawing this wall's coming out as well but we can't just assume it's not load bearing because the joists running that way or they're running that way. I think they might be running that way if so that's fine. Yeah here's House of Horrors here so that's just checked pillar, steels, all this is coming out and all that's coming out so obviously it's going to be a massive big kitchen dining room. So while Alex clears all this crap up we've got all the materials now by the common bricks. I'm going to well I'm going to whip this door off. Turn this door off. Which is just a few grabbers. I'll explain what a grabber is to anyone who doesn't know later. I realized that on last video I was talking about grabbers and I didn't explain what they were so that looks like a straightforward takeout. Everything looks straightforward. So once that's out Alex is going to drop on this I'm going to drop on the pillar. I'm going to slow down the box on this side. You may as well just fill them both from this side. Take the wrench, it's a bit neck of a bit mate. I think it's a little bit here. You won't be able to build it off from this side will you? You want to leave yourself a couple in there to cop it off. So what do I do about this part? Just build up to the window. Just build it up like flush with the window like you're doing a normal job. You don't return it. What's the second skin? Yeah you just build it up like normal. You can probably just get a long straight edge in plump. It's just being bricked up to it's completely yeah. So is this. So is this. I'm going to leave like any ties here or something at all. No it's a window isn't it? So it's staying in a window. It just stays as a reveal. You just carry on up as you are and just plumb it up on the edge. Okay no worries. And that's my one's coming out. Yeah that one's coming out don't worry about that. That one's popping off. The tires won't pop enough. The cavity won't stop opening up but I'll be doing all this while you're tidying up in there. You can always drop on and help me anyway. Yeah. So as you can see it's a very small kitchen. Alex sticks his hand out. What's your span? Six foot? Six foot two. So his span's the same as his height so he's about he's probably just about seven foot wide. So it's opening right back to behind him and right route. So it's going to be worth it but there's a lot of hiccups on this job so far. Not for us but for the customer like the floors are all shot and there's issues upstairs as well that we're not doing upstairs. That's the Robby's department but they're currently on hold with this job too. This is where this extra seal comes in that wasn't originally on the job but now it is to hold up there. I might show you later what such it is. It's a right mess. It's another one of those jobs where it's just been really cobbled together badly. See that? That's a window they've done away with. Dump the outside and render it. Just take the bricks through the window I'm not bothered to do this side of it but anyway let's crack on and get Clyde back on. Just to get the door out. There's a piece of timber nailed across there. So when that's come out it's coming right across. Get stayed today. So that's that. Door's all loose except for just see through the a couple of screws. Just make out the screw there. There you go. That's one. We've got a lot of key for the windows. We can't lock the window so I'm guessing the screws are screwed through from this side because there's no screw heads on this side. These screw heads are easier to hold the locking mechanism in so well I think they are. Yeah so it's quite loose now. It's loose at the bottom, loose at the side but it's still screwed to this frame so we're going to have to cut that with a metal blade. Yeah so whip that out. That door will come out quite easy. That can go over there with the cooker and then well once Alex has finished tying up in there he's going to jump out load this out get cracking on this. I'm going there on the pillar. It's getting over half 12 now so we've lost a couple of hours this morning as usual so we're pushing at the end. Instead of pushing at the beginning and have an easy finish but anyway that's our job for today door and pillar and let's carry on. It's up the Clive Holland show to give you a quick update. All right the blinds down, another bit of timber went across so that's all gone now. I'm started on the cavity that came out easy because it's the dim lights. This is a bit harder because it's every other course is no that's the lesson of the course. So what we're going to do is cut a line up here. It should pop out a lot easier then otherwise I'm going to be here all day trying to get this out with the yeah so I'm going to cut it and while I'm cutting it I don't want to put this water suppressing on because it'll just flood the place. So Alex is going to hold the blower for me and just blow the dust out that way so just make it goes in there because we'll look at it. It's derelict, not derelict it's a shell. I think I say she's home. I'll loop that in. Yeah and then use this little rascal just the moulds tool just to cut the floor back across here. We could use a reciprocal but we don't know what's below there so you never just cut in when you don't want something underneath. So that's the plan we use that thing a bit safer because we need to take the floor back to get to get at the entire skin. So we'll have full cavities open inside again to work off and we can put insulation in as we go then which we've got in the van or we've got in the house somewhere. So we'll get the this cut done first. No we'll get the multi-challenged done first because it's going to be covered in dust and I'll do this. So there you go. Like a game of Tetris. Like a game of Tetris. Well this one's to be called Tetris. And there we lost the cut. Right once again as you can see now door is out. It's the way of getting our cavity cut out. Obviously here we double skin block insulation block all the way up. Never leave that in. No never leave that in because if you're doing what we're doing and we're going we're blocking up the cavity wall if you want to make sure that cavity continues through so there's no cold bridge no damp. I keep going on about cold bridging. I keep forgetting to explain stuff. Cold bridging is where this solid wall meets this solid wall. It's only going to damp cause that stops the damp coming through which doesn't stop the coal transferring through the wall into this wall. That's a cold bridge for the coal to get from the outside to the inside by this. So by doing away with this we carry the cavity wall insulation right through to meet up with the huge cavity wall insulation so doing away with the cold bridge. Keeps the house warm. Yeah warmer. Yeah and every little bit holds an insulation at the moment. It's like for an extra half hour knocking this out it's just done properly. Let's get this last one cut out. Aye. Oh this is going to be my first time using the mixer since it's had its its plastic surgery. More brand new, brand new motor, brand new everything so thanks to Hodgeins for getting our orders and sent out. Oh that's better. Miles quieter. It's off down you go saw leg. There you go. Right he's ready for me to start. Alex is just currently finished. He's just passed our back 10 pass 4 so I've got a bucket of water used up there so I'm going to get this pillar set out. It's actually 320 wide this so we've just got to follow what's there where it's actually the wall is only. That's probably about 250 at the most where those steels are but we've got to follow that up straight and then we've sort the patterns off the top. So Alex just brought his stuff back so I just need the spot board to pass. No I don't actually because I'm going to be down on my knees aren't I. Okay. That rear bar at the back need bringing in mate and those blocks need passing in. Blocks need passing through the window that I've cut and that wheelbarrow needs bringing back the blocks that I've cut. Oh there's still some over there. Yeah so every every other course is a full block every other piece is a piece so there's two four six eight two four six eight ten three six nine twelve 22 items in that wall and one two three four five a full block. Yeah everything else is a cut so I've been cutting for ages and ages so all these are cuts there's just five more full blocks coming in obviously they're in the way because we're passing through the door so they're going to move back brushed out sorted out and then that can be back when we come back which will be after the engineer It's been uh yeah cavity's all ready to go. I'll come back tomorrow. No but when the engineer comes we're done now so the engineer decides what to do that's still. Do we have to get the um we're doing the patience tomorrow. Oh are we? Yeah we've told them we're going. Yeah we're going back to the farmhouse the um crumbly farmhouse to do the extension which you've probably seen on instagram the that had a well in the corner of the foundation 14. 11.4 meters a concrete went in there so yeah we'll just take all the power tools away we'll leave the acros leave the strong boys buckets and stuff we just need tools for tomorrow we're just doing brickwork up to damp so Jason get it slabbed and then we can go back then when we're ready so enough waffle let's get this sorted out get the damp course on and get the first couple of courses on and then once i've got them on i can tune into it which is going to be pain now because that's that's concrete anyway we just crack on don't we i'll just show me his um handiwork says me walking on the back there you go that's his door blocked up that's the radio we only put half a mix and that's the left over motor i'm glad there's no more left over because it's about half four isn't it even worse ten to five i'm going to look as you're on the way home lintel job quite ready for a lintel job now it's been a while easier yeah there's no list this bloody jumping round so yeah i've got six on there the damps down below the floorboards i'm gonna sit there on the time max there's our little trolleys um we've got the steels and the steels they're supposed to be getting delivered tomorrow we won't be in because there's nothing for us to do until that is being sorted out little steel it's as if there's a there's balance in the floor upstairs and they put it in to take the bounce out of it but we've got to put one in here as well because um the floor's dropped upstairs the walls are on the move there's cracks everywhere so yeah um i don't know if it comes off in line with this across there not sure if we get the drawing but the steel isn't coming tomorrow well if it is we won't be able to accept them i've read that's to get off on their own but yeah when we come back we can get that backed up we'll bring some more insulation because that's um not quite enough there um have a good try to open there good try to open here and then we can start start getting on with the steelwork job getting demolished and propped and things the um the joints underneath are on sleeper walls so we can put planks on the floor and prop down onto them and then they'll the way to take down the sleep walls underneath both sides oh yeah i haven't taken any ceiling out of here yet because this is the extension hopefully it'll be easy to prop on this side it's looking like all right it's just a 2v2 though i thought they're seeing this sort of seeing judgment that way i can prop it that way um yeah because there's not a lot to prop at the back because there's two windows above anyway that's enough for us we'll get back to you when we get back to this job which you do know when see you then
