 okay and there you have it one new testing testing is this battery gonna work because the pissing thing has just switched itself off on me morning yeah Alex just woke up first day back and you flew home yesterday and it's the 21st 31st of March it looks sunny but it's about 1 degree we've been freezing over two lovely weeks it's gone very cold today but we're here to do another limple card and copy the last one we did on this job just to have Alex's shoulder it's been six months since we came up with this one but just getting this steel fabricated and galvanized which just took the time and then we disappeared for three and a half months but yeah we're in we're gonna get out of the van go and have a look and get cracking on it so we've seen a bit trestled up we've covered the stones up so don't get the first stones full of crap obviously we can clean the drive it's a bit dodgy because the gardens on a slope and the the flagging isn't and but as you can see it goes up a little bit but it's it's flat and it's safe no so we pulled it off a bit so we can get room to get the strong boys in so I'll head up and show you right this one isn't as damaged as the one on the road but I'm pretty sure this one's leaking as you can see someone's had to go fixing it the good old just fill the gap up and up for the best you see it's still cracked but I think I know why this one's leaking this is the same old thing again they put this trim in above the window we'll be taking this out and putting a flat trim in and sealed it so any water comes down it's gonna hit this and it's you can see what the water's been gathering in there but it'll come to the ends and it's gonna work its way in there that's where the rusty lintel is as you can see this is coming off take this out of our way excuse me so that can go back on later yeah see the crumbling water that means the lentils lifted little close to there which is what I was gonna do so this will be coming out I'm pretty sure the trays were good on these jobs so we'll see we're going up to here I'm gonna take these three out go back to here back to there so we can get our upstanding and I cover this tray in and we might need to extend the original one and reuse or hopefully yeah just extend it and this is in better condition than the one next to the one and after lots of abuse on the last video we did peace peace peace peace as you can see three-quarter so I'm just taking note where the three-quarters and putting it back in the same place which I didn't do last time and I got some stick for breaking the bond but the bond isn't the best on these houses anyway but always take criticism on board and I'll be taking a picture of this well I don't need to take a picture just need to get the three-quarter back underneath the other three quarters so again we've got to try and get these all out in one piece which hopefully the reciprocating saw let us do yeah the drill the drill just get us started to get us a hole in that gets us the blade in and we're away then yeah so we're set up ready to make a mess covered the windowsill up let's get cracking planting a bit battery's ready for going this is ready for battery change out being so cold anyway you know we always have a speed bump well today's is more of a brick wall we've hit a brick wall I'm trying to keep myself calm but I've been away doing a pointing job for over a week while that's been off so I just cleared the van all tools so I've gone round got the radio got the the silicon the packers the vents the DPC for the would never thought to check the tools so we've got no reciprocating saw got no grinder got no big drill so all we've got is that pox a little it's actually drill with a 78 mil bit in it even got any bits in the box and a hand saw thank God the mortars soft but even the soft mortars putting up a fight so so far we've cut from there to the that's probably took us 10 15 minutes so we've probably got about that five times that to go I could just go home and get the reciprocating saw which will take us 10 minutes to do but it'll actually take me over an hour to go back home because it's 26 mile round trip the way fuel is at the moment I'm not going to do that so we're going to keep going till the saw gets blunt and then cut chop the saw off then go down a bit more just have to persevere but it's just thank God the mortars so soft otherwise we'd be really be snookered so um yeah that's today's bloody cock up check your van for the tools you need I think me and Alex both thought that was a reciprocating saw but that is the old four-inch grinder box with a yeah with a metabo and four inch grinder in it which is basically useless towards today so anyway I won't even bother filming this bit because no point it's just us sawing out with a hand saw so we're catching a bit quick update it's currently 20 to 10 Alex just in the van having a quick break I'm going to join him in a minute so there you go first accrossing first couple of rows are out and as you standard issue lintel I'm thinking in 70s at late 70s early 80s maybe the trays above the lintel one course above that's fine I've seen that before no weak vents cross the whole thing no well weep holes back then but there's the this is the trait this is it I'm not shocked by this anymore there you go oh yeah good other tubs bought from D&J projects here we go another section that's just back to the tray which is in beautiful condition it just it was just choked up so it couldn't really do its job properly so because it seems such good Nick we're going to bring our tray down onto our lintel so probably gonna put a new tray and took it under this one took it right under so him the lap odd do the job we don't need to cut that out and reseal a new one into that we can just lap under it get some insulation behind it and behind the lintel as well there's a yeah it's got the blown in insulation that nasty stuff it's horrible should really have a mask on at the moment but I'm going for a break now so there you go that's was up to now 20 to 10 slow going I've cut I've cut the blunt teeth off the saw now so run through our next section so probably take us to sawsworth but still works out better than going back home so yeah let's go make a quick break and see you back here and we're back yes we're back there's Alex this pile of bricks I think about 50 is now and they're all out and no breakages you handle so there you go Alex I just finished cleaning them I've just got the last one out so you saw all this shite that's come out of the cavity tray there's a bit of it the rest of it's in a bag over there so trays nice and clean now we will have to extend it to get it over our lintel and down so we'll put a piece underneath underneath that there goes an actual Irish journey inside of this one you see the nails been shot into it they're shot him with a gun if you didn't know so we're going to insulate in that her in that very gap for our train and then insulate that bit there talking of insulation if you obviously this isn't towards DIY people this isn't a DIY job anyone doing lentils bring insulation with you at least four sheets of 50 mil and then if the house has insulation in it you can insulate your what you're doing and also when you've got this blown in stuff as you can see there we cut like 120 mil strips and push it into the cavity to stop all the stuff that's in the cavity and going all over the street because this is bad it's horrible it's like a sad to describe it's each of us to powder horrible stuff so yeah which can now get all tidied up get a mix in and then have a quick dinner and then get all put back in again with the new link I probably just film time that's just taking the lintel out now one of the timelapse it was just filming so there's that there's the trim but that's all the moisture back in stops the boat stops the moisture getting out sees it all in so you can see where it's been stuck to the lintel there's all the there's your tail tailed knackered lintel orange so that thing's ready to pop out now so we're going to get that out and get out in there we go if it's out ready for our new one in now and then we're going to put a couple of packers on top of the in not that's going to need it but on the top of the two mullions we'll put a pack of there and we'll put a pack of there so the mullions will take the way to the brickwork as it goes off and it's to be self-supporting so far so good the weather's behaving itself there we go right seen a bit so we're back on ground level there's a big gaping hole so there it is upgrade the big upgrade monster yes as you can see the upstand is double in a bit probably so that's where the strength is in the upstand good god that's a mess isn't it it's going to mess us up not as good quality as the last one I think this galvanised that won't be expanded no it's just the bricks will be tight over that bit anyway yeah without the light gobbled up on it we might have to grind some of that back take the lump off it anyway let's get it around the right quick for this gate shutters again yeah ready one two three that one pulls on dad's just finishing up his lunch should be out in a minute so now that one pulls up I'm just gonna get this tidied up a little bit I'm gonna gather some stuff up get it all put in bags hope we can at the moment then bricks as dad said cleaned all the bricks off they're all ready so once this is clean blow-gold them up and then I'm gonna get a mix on probably just half a mix I'll do it because these little dubs don't don't take up any more to and can't see it but we've set up the mixture at the back just so we don't ruin any of the any of the driveway so set up there on the grass bundles over there as you can see and I think that's it I'll get set up on time that's why I've quick tidied up and get these bricks out so no I don't never mind when I say so now the really tough bit Alex is gonna get a mix in this rascal's got to go behind those accros down there so we don't know what we're gonna do with it just yet we think we're gonna get the old steel we've took out put it on the scaffold across the so it sticks in there lift it across onto it it shouldn't tip because it's it's got it's like three meters long so it should take the weight should and then once we're getting far enough we'll get the ladder down here underneath it and then it's going to be held then then we can lift it up from there and in so I'll film it hopefully it won't be when you've been framed water too it always goes quick in the morning then it drags it goes well in the morning then it goes fast so I've just had to grind all this off here that's not actually metal that's that's the galvanized that I've had to grind down as you can see it's quite bubbly they must have dipped it and just hung it at this end and then it's dried that was like a good five mil two i luckily we've got a big bed on this first course so there'll just be almost a dry bed on the bottom course I'm going to extend that cavity tray down just get an upstand on it there and we'll have to fettle at the other end we've got a couple of packers on each mullion and then we're away all insulated it's also behind the lintel as well we've insulated behind the steel so it's all because it's just still behind that so it's all nice and warm to extend that enough to put an upstand on just to get past that should be the yeah so Alex has said the next is nearly ready he's going to get that over here on this board on our nice rhino stands and we're going to get this in the first two going quite quick but then this top one takes ages getting this this top bed filled in so yeah there he is putting a mix in over there there he is how on the blower probably says mum yeah so while he's well um I'll stick on time that's where I get this bit done so um catch you in a bit quick one while we're doing the lintel tips there you go we've got our there's our extended that's the end of the tray this this piece is nine inch it goes up laps up well behind over a hundred mil up so there's nothing getting down there so it's all protected but um whenever you're going over the window always pack it because you've got the gap so you've got a packer here over the mullion I've got another packer here over this mullion not that this lintel needs packing because it just it won't bend but it's just a good practice and also when I stick this trim on those little packers there will give us something to stick the um trim to we've got the double sided tape but it's all give something to put a bit more on it also gives us a bit of silicon to stick to stop it pulling off but yeah that's it lines up Alex just getting me oh Alex has got me a bucket of water so now it's time to get this brickwork back in so catching a bit this before the battery dies all sorted extra bit of pointing done new lintel as you can see sticking out there 10 mil got a nice steel um upgraded the tray weak vents in even the trim on the window and we're done one new lintel with an extra bit of pointing we've gone up one two three four five six seven eight courses all done trimmed up and sealed so stay tuned it will be on youtube eventually
