 Every full brick's broken. What do you make of that? You're over there. You can polish your tail but you can't make it shine. Monday morning. Well, Monday the 25th of July and it's just stop pouring down. It's a wet day. We've had a two week dry spell and we've had next to no work for the last two weeks we've had a lot of people cancel on us and work full through so we've done not very much while the weather's been glorious. This is a bit of a bummer. So we're here today on this new job. This is for Vic, who will have seen one of our older videos. We've got a window to break up on the side of the house. We've got two panels to break up on the conservatory and we've got two steels to go in. So we're here for two or three days. So today we're going to concentrate on the window and then Wednesday, I think, Vic and Shaun will be here so we can work with them and we'll have to get the conservatory roof off to get the steels in. So we've got our blocks. Vic's picking the bricks up later. So we've got a bit of tubing out to do, a bit of loading out to do and maybe a bit of inside work, prepping inside walls while it's raining. So we'll just see what we can do and we'll take you inside. Oh, yeah. He's off in It's Monday, so. Sunday. Yeah. Next Sunday you go in for two weeks. This Sunday. Yeah, this Sunday. He looks gutted to leave me, doesn't he? He looks a bit sad. It's not that when your mum went to Florida, isn't it? You weren't gutted. See you in there. Right, so as you can see, I've made a start taking out the trim, but we're gonna hold fire with that because this one, he's gonna do the bit of toothing now so we thought ahead for once and thought, if we take that out and make a load of dust in here, get all that done while we've still got the window in. So while he's doing that, I'm just getting us a bit organized in here, trying to get stuff set up. Window's going in the skip so we don't have to, we don't have to worry about damaging the window. Yeah, the window's getting tossed so we don't have to worry about that. And I'll take you outside show what I'm doing. What are you doing? First person. Look at the first person shots. Oh yeah, and as you can see, it keeps raining on and off. So ducking in and out. Can't get it scaffold up out of here, obviously, because it's an entry. So it's a trestle job. So this is our job. We'll do a better job of raking up than they did. That's one of those flu jobs. But at least they had a go. I don't know what more to do, like concrete. But anyway, this is us. But there's not a hope in hell to get in this to bond. And as you can see, let me just start here. Here's your, here's your half big bond here. Then you approach the window and then just swap the bond, which most people do on the window. Follow that up, follow that half up, there's three quarter. One, two, three, four, three quarters. And bang goes back to full brick. And then the bond changes again back there. As you can see over the window, the bond is gone. It's two old weep holes, the old style. And then over here, you've got a big half. It's the bigger half's the normal. So it's fully about 120mm at half. So they'll be coming out. And then, so that bond's gone. And it doesn't work full brick off the window. So we're going to work off this side with full bricks off, work back and just piece it wherever it is. We're going to have all kinds of pieces in it, but to get it to work, you're going to just take the whole wall back. So it's just not an option. And it's a side entry. And the brick work isn't the best down here anyway. You can see the old scaffold height change. Don't know what's going on with that bed, but it's sticking right out. Anyway, it's down the sides, it's not seen. We always like to make it look as tight as possible, but sometimes you just can't. Lintel staining, there's no need to take the lintel out and mess around with all that, because the lintel's in, covers your trays in. So we'll just leave those two weep holes out and leave them as they are. Tooth it all in, lock it all up and I think that's not something to shut up. It's almost break time, you need to get some work done. Right, after break, the weather is kicking our ass, but Dad's making progress though. Unfortunately, the big bricks have been breaking. But that's because of the space ruining the way things are. He's trying to get his crap breaks and he has to use the tighten drill, he can't just cut them out, so the odds are against him. But even that when it cuts out, okay, it's pretty much just cracking. It's so brittle and soft. I've got all the measurements ready as well, because if I do this right, if I just pick up the beds a little bit, it should work some course and brick at the top, which would be saving me a lot of faffy cuts. Other than that, it's just a full block and a 170 cut all the way. Right, the aftermath, that was tough, that was very tough. One, two, three, three snappers and it was hard to get out that. The winder, obviously the screws were exposed except for one, because we took that screw out and that was coming out nice. So we're just going to pop it out. There, that's it, it's out, dropped it. Right, so next thing, whenever you're breaking a window, always take the charms out and see what an open cavity, see a cavity runs right through, because obviously there's no window anymore. So if you leave these in, you're leaving this co-bridging, but this is an old house, so there's no insulation in these returns. It's just a bit safe. No, it's not, it's not, they start from the foil with the bubble wrap, didn't they? Oh, I haven't even meet you. Now they don't put anything across there, now they put the cavity formers in. So yeah, we need to chuck that out, otherwise we're going to get the co-bridging and the, because the damps are close as well, it's battered because of the drill, we could chance to get damps through there as well. And there's the window frame. Ready for the skidding, and hopefully we can be with the bricks soon, we can get the brick in, get the brick away. The insulation, because of all the snow, so we're going to insulate in there, and get all the shit cleaned out. There you go, that's one side done. Look at that sheet in the cavity, cleaning that tire right off. That's just a random tire right stuck in the cavity with a load of shite on top of it. Reminds I, which? A load of rubbish on top of it. See what we find on this side? And this side looks slightly better. You know, it's not good that. But like I say, we love that a lot of cleaning off top of the dinner. It's going to be careful that you don't drop it further down the cavity. And this is all blown in insulation, and as you can see, it's not been blown in very well. None of this has fell out. There's none in there. So because all the debris in the cavity here, the insulation not going to have to spray down the cavity properly, it's been blown in. That's why I need a clean cavity. So, yeah, one or something in there. If you want a warm, if you want a warm house, clean your cavity. Yeah. All right, safety there. Good afternoon. Any time over? It's about one o'clock, isn't it? Half one. Half one. And it's two. I'm going to start sweating now. There's no sound of the bridge yet. I don't think I'm going to block it. Boarding this up tonight. I wonder, how long do we get the block working, okay? Oh yeah, I've, in fact, come here. Well, before we do that, we'll get to that first. Right, I've cleared all the cavities out. Got a mess down there, but I realised there's a cavity trail of the meterboxes out there. DPC was in the cavity, so that was full of stots. And the tower's full of stots, and there's a load of crap up here, so I've cleared all that out. And as you can see, it's all been insulated now. So as we build this up now, we'll just put the fresh insulation here. That's staining, because there's no point taking that out. It's not doing any harm. And I've knocked out the mortar on the top there, so when we put our last brick in, we can point in the above here. Bit nice and tight. It's not going to work, Rick. As you can see, that's a three-quarter. And that's a three-quarter. So this is going to have a closure all the way down it. There's no other way of getting rid of such a small piece and such a small length without taking that much wall down. We even meant to be pieces of glow. So feel free to abuse it in the comments, but that's the way it is. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It's a shame. I don't like it, but tough shit. Um, you're saying that? I normally pick on so don't. But since Dad was on about the block work, while he's been finishing that off, I've got all my cuts ready. So here, there's the 170s. And then there's two blocks there, the block and the 170 that have been cut down to 165, because as I said before, I thought it was going to be a brick, but we've took out a lot more, like just rubbish since then. So it's now opened up to a 165 block cut. So that's what's going in instead. So that's a bare block and bare lintel. Yeah. All the plastic gone out. So I need to kindly ask Dad to shift it so I can get this barrel through and so I can get the mixer through because I've got to get a mix on now. What should I do for a mix? It's broken. Charges broke. The wire broke or the charging hook broke. Catching a bit. And polish it, but you can't make it shine. Like you said, we've worked with what we've got. We had to get the pieces in there, but as you can see, with what we had, there was no other way we could really do it. So that's done at least and I'll take you over. Here's my handy work. Just blocking up the back. So here we go. That is another lintel successfully worked out. Thankfully we're back here tomorrow. So we've managed to get ourselves set up a bit. We've got the bricks loaded out. We've got the other bricks ready. I wonder what the two of us are doing out of trouble. I'll do this as a separate video. Yeah, okay. So here we go.
