 And good morning. Today is the start of one of many big jobs. Show you what we're doing today, and then I'll gradually show you. So today, we're starting off by doing this garage conversion. So, Dad is gonna break up this concrete first things first to see if we need a lintel going in, which we've got just in case. And obviously we're also gonna chew that these halves, knock off some of this rendering and get that put in. Another job that we're gonna be starting, at least, is all there is gonna be a doorway here and two big steels going here for opening. If you look here, there's the steels that were dropped off today by JM. Thank you very much. And they're going in there and we've got two concrete lintels here, one there, one the other side, for the doorway here. Here, isn't it? There, and then, steel's job there. And I think we've also got a patch up there by turning that into a window. So, yeah. So we've got quite a lot going on. So, do you wanna give a quick rundown what you're doing here? You know better than me. Because we don't want to watch under this concrete and we push out this corner, see if that's underneath it. See if we've got any brickwork underneath it. If not, we're gonna put an angle line across to span across. Then we don't have to start cutting the concrete, dig it down and put it in the foundation. Which the angle line is there just in case. But that angle line's too small. That's too small? Yeah, it doesn't reach onto the brickwork. So if that pillar is to go straight down, I'm gonna have to swap that for a 24. So, it's first speed bump. Potentially. So the first speed bump's for getting the brown die. Oh yeah, yeah, it's brown water die. So anyway, yeah. Once we've got a bit of a head start, Dad is gonna go off and get the bricks and blocks needed because, as you can see by all this stuff here, the van was a bit full because we had seven accros in here. We're in here, we're near Bolton. So, just outside Wiggins and I head down to Brickstone, Wiggins to get the bricks and get the blocks from the rest of Wiggins and Brickstone. There you have it. We've got our sand and cement out ready, mixers out ready, so all that is now is get those bricks and blocks and make a mess. So, enough babbling, we'll get you set up. We had a casual tea of the day. Eight mil bit is somewhere in there, so. But, as you can see, progress is made. All the toothing is done. Dad's just doing a little bit there and is under the concrete okay? There's 100 mil of concrete, but there's nothing underneath it. So, we're still gonna play it safe and put it in the angle liner. Okay. So, digging down, put a new foot in and we're gonna put a 24 inch angle liner which is probably some pillar for pillar. Some people dig down and put a concrete in there but it's a galvanising to be found. Yeah. So, we're gonna get a bit of this crap cleaned up and we'll get all that sorted. I've been taking down this plasterboard and no adhesive, so it just snaps off like a little dream. So, I've just took that off for now because the rubbies have put all the glass there but obviously all that will be coming off eventually. And down here too, I've just not done this bit yet because this is a live wire, so we're gonna get that sorted first. And Robby's just gonna get a mark down for us now so we know where we're going up to for our window. So, there you have it, little update done. See you then. Right, I'm fresh back from the brick store run and the fairwood run. There's the five of lights. Also picked up a sample of another job we've got coming up. Bricking up a window, got to match the bricks they look quite a good match. We've picked up a longer lintel, 2.4. It's only got a short small upstand which is better for us for slotting into the brick work. Like I said, I've got the blocks. The bricks. Let me just show you the bricks. The bricks. There's the house bricks. Oh, they're all rendered. Anyway, house bricks are what's called a barterly buff, which haven't been available for a long time. And then when they've extended, they've used the Carlton Brown. So, which you can get older. So, I've got a Carlton Brown sample. And as you can see, it's very, very light. So, customer decided to go for these darker brick which have a slightly less harsh face on them but they're a lot darker. Even going through them because the difference in colour. Same pack with dark chocolate and dark chocolate. So, luckily, we've got quite a lot of these ones so we're going to put predominantly them in and mix a few dark ones in. And because it's pretty much rained for two hours this morning, the bricks are absolutely soaked, as you can see. That's why we're stacking them honeycomb. So, the plan now is get a mixing after dinner, get the block work up. And maybe just get the bottom coarser brick up to DPC and get the lintel setting and everything. And then Rob and Rob can get this door off. Yes, please. Coffee, milk, no sugar, please. All right, I'm OK, Phil, thank you. Oh, yes, please. Do you have a strong one, are you? Yes, strong, please. Thank you. Thanks. Yeah, so that's it. I'm going to say a bit. Also, I forgot to bring the dye from the garage. And we've got that much dye I don't want to buy anymore. So, we'll hit the brick work in the morning. Get the motor right and let the bricks dry out. So, lunchtime. Right, probably after two now. Day one's always slow going. Alex's just getting some of the bricks through the back door while I'm cutting these steels down. We've got them done at three, six. Because of the way the pad stones are working, we're coming this side of the steel, the dark padstone, and we're coming this side of that door with the padstone and then whatever opening is left. So, I've had to not cut the steel down 170, so it fits in there. Fits in there. One's cut down. We've had to cut both ends to keep the bolt whole. If we'd cut one side off, we'd have lost one of the bolt holes at one end, which would have been no good. So, yeah, Alex's got to mix in to get the block working at the back here. And I'm going to get the lintel in at the front and get the first course across there with the DPC. And then just rake the joints back. And then tomorrow, when we build it, we'll have the brown dye in it, so. So, I'll crack on, get these other two cut stone. This thing is brilliant. See, the solution's up. We've got the metal blade on it. And it's got these wheels. So, you can actually just hold, lose it on the block and let the weight of the saw sit down instead of holding it for long spells of time. We're going to do a proper review on this and then give everyone the codes. There's a discount code, if you want to get one of these. Pick one of these up, they're brilliant. So, yeah, let's get this old two cut stone in. Get this wall in. Let me see if I've got some more turns. No, not at all.
