Hi, Steve It is a absolutely fantastic that takes about a place in our rare cabin in the living room that Love it. Love it. It's just the best You just put it back into shot there That's a perfect match. Look at that so any questions I thought the whole point is that we had stuff set up. Well, we've got a little list there That's not gonna take long to read that list out Perfect There we go right Ryan Ogden Question is it fine to do a concrete slab for the is it fine to do a concrete slab for the garden? It's not big it only going to be walked on Three inch hardcore two inch concrete it will this thing to be thicker thicker better, but money I'd go thicker than two inches I've got a go in Minimum three inches if it's just going to walk down. I think that's about three inches Yeah, that's been fine, isn't it? As long as the hardcore is properly done underneath it really compacted Make sure you get a wacker for it. Make sure it's really well compacted Mark Mark and Mark There's two marks. They came out at the same time right at the same time. Yeah So I may be It's like it's like you and it's funny. Mark. Mark. He usually usually misses this so welcome back mark Um two dog, uh the father I feel where like I'm stereotyping by saying his name And father and son bonjo shows the quality of your work. You both work brilliant together On camera Mr. Blue WK what are your feelings on the HR? Oh on queen Elizabeth passing away What's that news? Yeah It's all you're going to see for the next I think it's a month before I think it's a month official morning So it's all you're going to see for I think everyone's going to get pretty sick of it eventually because it's going to be there for a month And you're going to have the people are going to milk it But it's obviously it's sad. It's a big deal. Um You know almost everyone in the country is the only one that they've ever known So it's it's going to be weird. It's going to be weird having the king but um Obviously it's not the sort of thing a lot of people have talked about for a long time But um, yeah, it's always sad as feels for the family and the the kids and the grandkids So Ryan's but three inches it is then for the concrete It's better to be safe than having to pay more money later just to get it fixed Question for Alex. When did I start working with with you? 2015 I did my first like bit of work for him. That's when I left school And then like I had my little six weeks and then I um And then I started so it was like late 2015 Like 20 I think 2016 officially was like I was on site and such but I started doing work for him in 2015 Um, no, there's only one of me. Definitely one of you Derek do you guys think the rate of cowboy builders has dropped since social media as it's easy to vet builders? No not really because People would just be cow people can still be cowboys and still upload it Let me get that picture of that porch. We did show you what All you do that I'll read up We took a porch down and we left the internal wall up because of course we wanted us to that's the view That's the view from the cavity inside the cavity It's a slight bit. You can you can hardly make it out, but it's very SHIT. Yeah Um, I'm on 10% here. I need a power work Um, I'll try to hit the like button. Thank you very much. Yes, please and subscribe if you knew Yes, I'm turning to you now Steve's but that's brilliant to think Um, Ian, are you not going to play some music like the tricky one? We're we're not we're not a dj group. Unfortunately. No, we don't have our we don't have our records. No Um Mark who I'm mark one. He's marked him Sorry mark really mark two and three because mark mark kept spin around a very long time We we we've been watching him for a long time and vice versa like We've been out this four years now, so Doug said thanks for the uh, we'll shout out. Oh, yeah, let's put the trial out. You can see it better for me Uh, let's see greek Done my apprenticeship with my dad and it's the hardest emotional warning thing ever Done similar work to yourself and learn so much. Oh, definitely. I learned I learned all me schooled me technique Technical technical stuff. Yeah. Yeah the technical stuff in college and all the practical stuff with dad So it was a nice blend for me. He was doing all coloring up and setting out and that at college And then he started off in the foundation and we just running commons in Some way to open the steering wheel. I'm not looking forward to King Charles III And it's somewhat weird out looking a lot of stuff. Well, it's not a yes or he's saying does he? None of them do Harry I guys said last job he did with the steel plates And why did you drill holes in the wall think you call it stitching? We did that today as well. So Stitch drill it's an alternative to using the steel saw or a grinder and cutting the big cutting the mark out It's just loads of dust and mess Whereas doing the stitch drill you you same Stitch it with the holes in the air with the drill And then when you're knocking out the bricks and the blocks wherever they just chip off where the holes were Yeah, so it makes it easier and like cleaner To stitch drill it. We've got a stillie and we've got another one We'll talk about that later the evolution saw both got water suppression on but When you inside somebody's house, it's a garage, but we're cutting into into the dining room All right, it keeps the dust down that water suppression just makes a mess of everything including you Yeah Molly Question I built a back lean lean to lean to and the customer got my laborer After telling my order, I'd run out of sand and had four boxes of cement left over the laborer was from port school He was making 11 to one mix Jesus I suggest you go back at me point that or rebuild it Oh, what Martin's on Martin's in hello, Martin Hello chaps does anyone know the origin of the term close close that is in king and queen and bevel etc I don't know. I thought you'd know that Martin of all people to be honest, but um, or is he setting us up? Yeah, it's true Rob Songa. He's a man and um, I reckon Oh, what was his name? Um, so I did his old fancy brick working. No, not Morgan. Um They're doing all the rubbers and the shape bricks at the at the show for those more than no Ronny Ronny. Yes, Ronny He's he's he's into all that kind of stuff. Shame he's not on but he'd have an idea Nice as they're doing Portugal would it be okay. I'm not qualified at bricky 11 to one mix is not good. It's very very weak We do we do a fourth. We do a four to one Yeah, four to one. Yeah. Yeah four to one four and a half to one roughly depends on depends how it looks um Martin even the older brother as well We are Martin, but um, we picked a job. Well, YouTube pictures actually it's because it's a one of our viewers um named John and Tracy, isn't it? I think so, yeah, well they got on to us from YouTube and That's the job at the moment which of which will be on YouTube a few weeks But um, it's near Bolton, which is it's a good hour each way for us, which we're not used to are we? No We're not used to sitting in traffic and driving long way So the journey's tough, but the job's enjoyable So it's worth it when we get there next And Ian's pork mark had many guinnesses today, but yes, those but they're still milking down Oh god, so we're only at the end of this one. We just don't do enough research. I know a guy who's in prison Good god Do you know we worked at a firm and It was a groundwork experiment and they had a lad waiting for them and he had a tag on I'm gonna, uh, grab a power like that. Yeah Keep an eye on the comments Well, yeah, quick I've left off the trial before there's the trial Should really put that in views, you know put that to this Chesley I've learned a lot from watching this channel. Thank you. Chesley All good. I hope Harry Harris I understand that now. Thanks. No worries, Harry Mark, have you not get rained off today was a bit crappy at our tent up um Well, we're working in like saving the garage conversion. So We've picked the back door up up to the window height that's done today and we're knocking out We're putting in two three point six mrs. Steals all bolted up and everything and we're doing the doorway And the garage's been partitioned off into two rooms and then we're picking the front of the garage up next Monday with the Dobby Robbie So we need to wait till look till they're there with the window So tomorrow is getting the rest of the um The rest of the steel the rest of the holes knocked out and the steels and the little spoon Where are we at? They mark asking about the weather Mark about the weather Coco Savage says hi. What's that? Oh, just showing up too. So There's the big opening with the steel and then they've got a small opening here. It's going to be a door Mark's on whisky and Coco come with me Right, get in a bit. I'm not a bit understanding of you Ian's but be a tent mark Yeah Mellie, it's still It's still up to 20 years later 11 to 1. That's the ratio in Portugal, he said Bloody hell I wonder if it's earthquake proof Or a good hard push proof Mr. Blue Devil, do you need planning permission to have foundations poured for a future extension when you can afford just the first stage of the extension bill asking for a friend? Um You'll need planning permission for the extension anyway. So I don't think it matters when you pour it They do that a lot on site when you're doing when you start a site they'll um dig out A couple of foundations concrete them and bury them and then put the Car park and stuff on with the builder's house Build a couple of plots up to come no concrete and bury them and put the carpark and stuff there And then at the end of the the job they dig them up and build the houses Um, Stuart and what happened to Liverpool? Oops. Hmm. What would you definitely do? They lost all one. Ah Slot be the next to go He's the manager Fair blaster, what is that? What is what? Fair blaster Kind of only it. What's our plan for tomorrow? Going back to that job that does has been showing We're gonna get the rest of the steels in do a bit of smashing and the rest of the windmills in Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention this job We um, we lost only a day waiting for a skit Skit never showed up and it really did come it came in 20 past three So, um, I think last night we finished at six didn't we? Yeah Half five because it took us an hour to go in the rain and buy you up 10 minutes to shut that garage door Gary one ball Evening guys can't wait for the next video. You need to upload more videos every week He's heard here. You come and do the editing for us then at his limit. Yeah Maly do the roots the roots probably keep it up. Yeah Derek interesting with hearing all the loopholes Stuart it's not so much the planning consent, but once you start work you have to complete Lot within the time allowed. I'm not sure but things are maximum of five years Check with your local planning department. There you go That's the beauty of this comment section. There's always something that'll put you straight and let you know Obviously, I was wrong. I didn't know that I tell you what I do know when I'm on a building site when they doing foundations I think once the foundations are up to slap The developer has to start paying council tax on that plot So that's why you don't like plots hanging around and make it rhythm. It's a percentage It's not full chance. That's how we have to start paying for each plot because we should have a help around it Oh, what's it called? loaton It's your councilman checking out which plots we're ready so we could start charging in for the council tax Derek I hate losing town. I won't fit in windows and doors sometimes our windows won't turn up until after lunch I hate sitting on But Derek I used to it I did conservatories for 14 years and I know exactly what you mean It's awful, especially if somebody has his fault Martin what has happened to earthquake boy you appear to have gone quietly lately? Well, that's what happened when you get pinned and then crucified in the comments Mr. Blue Devil, thank you for your answer guys with the videos so that one the sun can shed for a little bit claustrophobic What's the tightest space you've worked in? That extension with no door On the Ludlow Yeah, number four Yeah, that was a tight one. It was only 900 Yeah, we just feel him to put a little bit of What was it like a dryer or something tumble dry it? Washer tumble dryer on one end and then coats the other so it was very tight very tight Smallest extension I've ever done. It's probably in the car in the playlist somewhere apart from earthquake boys. How many trolls do you have on me? Um Martin We're still here They come and go we had a really nasty pair about a month ago. We were actually threatening us Um, which starts to get a bit serious when it gets to that Um, they seem to have fizzled out where I did but I did I did report them But you get them coming and going there's a there's another one there. Um He's always he keeps changing his channel name. He's always something to do with Liverpool And he's always horrible at Alex. He's just horrible Just wasted space He's not been off for a while. Um I got told off by somebody for posting a picture of us with um Blackfield Place beach but lanyards on said he said he thought we'd been hacked It's a bit weird That was the um the post for this a line, I think Um, what's the first come and go? What's the furthest you travel for work? Um, West Orton No further even then There's actually somebody on the same street who's asked for Uh, they've got in contact and they want to start a look at the job. So we'll see how tomorrow goes Um, how do you how do you install a roof wall plate to the building? Um, yeah, you just get it to the right height and you bet it on We bet it's a length. We bet it we because it's like bed it on so it's um level and then the joiners do the rest They've got the roof on actually physically for a mechanical fixing down on Wall plate straps Because just bedding on a bit of motor does nothing all that all the motor is for Is to actually level it because the the journey like that all like that So the motor bed does nothing apart from level it it doesn't stick it Uh, do you guys j d days Sorry, I can't pronounce that sorry j. Do you have any further some issues while working or do you get along well as it looks in the videos? Well, that's just a lot of editing I'm gonna fine. I think we're gonna all right. Yeah. Yeah I would like to wait with anybody else That's a good answer Give me the turn later Derek I'm too too cool. It's great having a brickie and a plaster on a window on a window grill. Yeah Robin, I'll be working now. They're doing their own plaster bit of patching um Patching the reveals on the door they put in And the door we break it up which is just a straight panel. So they've dry lined it today Then they're going to come back and skim it and then there's a bit of rendering to do with a bit of tirling on the outside Because rendering putting new windows in is a pain A lot of extra work Mark said he's routine remember that small extension You were never thought you would never get out because there's no door Tell you what mark won't get out of me now. I can barely get out of bed This hip is playing me up big time And speaking of the robbies, mark wants to know where they are Ah, right as I said I used to work at a place called cross conservatories for 14 years and um One of the lads called robby Robby senior Was one of the wonder fitters And he worked with his son Robby junior. So that's why I called him the robbies because they both called Robby and we left I left across the conservatories back in 2010 to go on site Which is still better than the conservatories and then Robby and Robby left a bit quite a few years after me, but they've gone on their own as well So they did They called Robertson home improvements. So they do A bit of everything really extensions pretty much every extension we do now is either with Robby and Robby or Neil from Ormsburg And Yeah, the um, that's who they are and they live and they live really close to us Great to work with Even Richard Hewitt and Chester Nessler, when did you start the channel? April 2018 Banzai pinball says hello I'm Richard I've just been building careers life It was a bit late now I'm 53. My sister had it. I had it as a 50. My dad's had is I think he's had two So it's in the family Um, it's not bad enough for that yet, but the only I've been waiting about 10 weeks just for an x-ray. So We'll take you from there, I suppose I just limp a lot Oh, are you even like that? I limp a lot and then I do a whimper a lot as well when I catch it funny You knock your leg sideways. Jesus Christ It's a squeal and it jumps out of his skin It definitely says you look young Oh, thank you. Well, I'm not. I'm 53 It's because your head shaved at the moment Oh, yeah Once his hair grows, you look older Yeah 53 is still riding on the little coasters. Yeah, I like Chesley All right guys, what do you think of things like the brickie? Has made fully around his projects? What do you prove the things that? Like that, what do you think he creates if she's even by practices? What's the working? It's that pink red piece of plastic but then Rodin We check out rodin's channel actually rodin did a video Where him and Holly actually used it and reviewed it until did an honest review on it what you thought about it and then Longer than the shortest if you don't watch the video, I think it ends up in the bin I mean, there's the stuff to show you on the ads what they can build with it or what they have built with it. It's just It's it's like it's like there's magic washing power that gets everything out. It's I don't rate it myself. I've never used it I wouldn't recommend it either Derek says I have to kind of come and go as painful Yes, Derek room forwards this morning rodin forwards is the same he could barely move He's in a lot of pain Sarah gets his mummy daughter because she's a She has a desk job, so a lot of sitting at the desk doesn't help It's the bleed out of the window above my front door is blown and is cracked The water all the way up and still on the upstairs window. Yeah, that's right. I've got a classic lintel. Yeah It's rusted down here and the trouble is when you replace your your new lintel. It doesn't go back So you just got to point it But don't just point it and expect it to be fixed. He's got like this job. We drive past in the morning, isn't it? And it must be a 12 foot Sigs are going up the wall and about a fourth one on the other side and there's a scaffold up And they've pointed it and they've just left they haven't done the lintel so Let's get a current again in here It was listed even more Richard says watch that video rodin's I believe Yes Derek thanks for chatting with the energy and look forward to seeing you guys on site What's that? Derek says uh, thanks for chatting live our energy and you look forward to seeing us on site We're not like this when we're on site. Trust me. Yeah, you probably turn the other way Well, they won't see us on site. Basically Things will be desperate really desperate for us to go back on site make mccomic 53th and 43 now keep going while you can. Yes. Keep going while I have to keep going It's not by choice I don't even know so the video I was going to say to watch the video. Yeah, but it was a good day Bring the organized by tell me It was like, um, there's a lot of things Would be done differently next time. I'm pretty sure it's happening next year because you're getting more sponsorship on board But it went really well. It was a good day. We're in the good laugh It was nice to see everybody We've got to actually meet a lot of people who watched on youtube. It was really good And viewers as well met a lot of viewers who came up to see us as well. That's good. Yeah, Alex. Do I enjoy bricklaying? carefully answers Yeah, of course I really like it We don't do a lot of it particularly on this like we've been demolishing for three days Oh, yeah, it's been very scarce lately, but yeah, I do. I enjoy enjoying my job Customer said to me do you ever get bored with bricklaying? I said, well not really because I was breaking up a door at the time No, it was Robbie asked me if I get bored I said no because we don't do brickwork all the time. So it's nice to get a nice bit of brickwork in Robert and business when you worked on the site during the foundations, we directly employed We're subbing to the main contractor. We were subbing. We worked for a ground workers company We subbied to a subbie. Yeah so, um We worked for Hanley groundworks and Hanley groundworks subbied to Wayne Homes Uh, any big projects coming up that we should look out for? Um, look out for every project every Monday half past eight Yeah, we've got two extensions coming up Um I've got a big point in your comment because me is coming back in on 26th October. So you'll be off so I've What's the word? Scheduled in this point in job while I like survey because he's he's not into the point, you know He's gonna have to do eventually but He's actually quite good at it since you went to A&A we're actually a lot of weatherstruck pointing we actually It was finished in weatherstruck wasn't it first day of doing the pointing job. I cried Yeah, but that wasn't the point in wasn't it? That was the We had a crap PQA and it was very dusty And her pack coding really says hi Hi Pat. Mr. Blue Devil both front door and upstairs windows are going to be replaced I know now but we pause due to your channel. I can tell them Brookie's heart's done Exactly you can keep an eye on whether it's done right now I watched your video on site work just clearing the flooded foundations before you start yikes. Do you know what Derek? Um I keep getting pestered all the time by youtube to do youtube shorts Put the chain and I always really loved them But now they've changed it where you can actually put a clip of one of your own videos up And it plays up to 60 seconds of that video And then you've got the people watching the shorts watch that but it also gives you a box and you can click on the box It takes you directly to the full link video So I've already done one That did really well So i'm going to start doing that with one of our older videos So you can pick out a good part of the video and get people to click on it So um, I might do a few of the foundations just to show some of the shit we used to put it with Um It was grim. Absolutely grim. Pushing water out Gaining it all out and then if it rained again pour down here and just fill back up again. It's just soul destroying Yep Great videos. Do you ever work on larger sites like your housing estate? So just smaller jobs just smaller jobs now ejecting Site work we did 10 years of I did seven years in foundations Alice did three with me Then we left that and went on to superstructures for 12 months and got treated like absolute shite so We uh, we left that so we've been on our own for 14 15 months now, isn't it? Yeah, which is tough. I'm finding it really tough because You've got to find the work. You've got to price the work and also, um Your taxes are a lot different Basically get hammered Mark it's the granny out before no one wants to do Do you know what mark? I'm not Apart from setting the neighbors I'm once I'm all suited up and everything I don't mind. I just I just so now put my headphones on and just kept just crack on and then I usually just all the grinding Once so it's all done and then I've just got all pointed to then Yeah, I quite enjoy it. It's just I know it's dusty and that but As long as you got a good people here and that's about it must be getting old and I'm getting more patients in my old age Derek says yeah big time. I think that's for the showbots And Mike Mike look forward to your videos every week tasty workers always keep up good work. Well, thank you Mike Mike I like that. I like the description of our videos there Derek I also fitted floors and heated site work you turn up in the house Still before workers and we're supposed to be fitting a floor. Yeah, you're always up against something. I was like Generally, if you're fitting the floor then you're around cml time and cml time is just madness because that's that's what cml is a certificate of mortgage lenders and basically that's when The um, whoever's lending the money to the the buyer Sends the house up. It's signed up by the the builder and the nhbc and then that's when the The money gets sent over to the house builder and that's that is Detail isn't it? That's everything revolves around that. Yeah, even if you're not ready. It's got to be done for cml day And it's just bonkers So everything's getting rushed everyone's on top of each other and generally You've got someone sand sanding downstairs and painting upstairs. It's just madness Putting fences up turfing all at the same time Mark who guys i'm installing raised floor beds at three blocks high. What thickness for saying would you put in rebar or not? Nothing you need rebar for a flower. Don't say that martins in the chat Martin will go off his head rebar rebar. He's like he's like um speedy Gonzales rebar rebar Well, I shouldn't think you need it for a flower. Some of the other folks would get that no not for not for a plant is three high I just go 100 mil whatever Um, if you always 100 mil thick just go for 300 mil wide. So you've got a good spread and 100 mil thick No need for steel Don't tell martin i said that Yes, right What a bit of a shock. We're not a shock It was a shock. It wasn't because obviously all the family bombed up there And then in the announcement. So I think she'd already died by then before that this afternoon 419 brian. Yes mark heifer's brilliant. Yes. Yes, many many talents mark He still hasn't used our brick tongues that we bought off us. He must have had them nearly two years isn't using yet Do we ever do underpinning asked my never done it? We could do it. I mean, we've said it don't work when we work for A&E. They just don't depend the building you're on What was that? That's not the rubber band Oh Yeah, they uh, there's a big some big steels going in. So they they actually underpinned it. They did that but um Tony overengineers everything and it's Of course you can put it into the four stores and top of that house. I don't even depend on Even if you don't need to do it Richard I noticed the sub base The sub base up to floor level can be done once you brick up to that course there There are also two dpms used what what one goes on to the dpc And most people say the boat should You come up you come under your installation and up and over and then over your installation and up and over But I tend to just cut the bottom one off at dpc and lap the top one over because And dpn when it's folded It gets folds in it and it's hard to Fold and bend and if you have too much in it, you can't get your block down Especially using thermolets, you can't get the weight down to get the first course down Try to get your layers minimum Brick and block solutions, is there much money in mental jobs? Would you not get more money on site work or one off houses? I'd rather do lintels all day long every day than work on site again And we're getting that underpaid anyway on site. We'll get paid a lot better for lintels That's what we charge. So the brick layers we always charge very they're given very little The thing we wait for is that rates are crap absolutely crap and it was hard to earn that one as well And then the one off houses we've actually been asked to build a house early next year Not interested Not for me. Not for you. Is it no it's you think of it seems like a good idea, but the amount of things that See I get stressed and I can do without the stress of building a house lintels It's like we know what we need We know how much we need of everything it's just turn up and get it done We know what nine times out of ten we know what's gonna happen um I think the worst you get is Loads of crap in the cabinet isn't it really? Yeah and then it's it's um Because we do a lot it's easy to do the job properly whereas you see a lot of a lot of people do lintels and My pet hates they like to take two courses out Whereas you need at least three to get your cabbage tray up and over into onto the inside again. So You're taking 20 bricks out just taking up to 10 bricks out 10 bricks out almost 10 bricks was taken to do We did one then They put leg cavity trays in it's just one coat out put this leg cavity tray and when you push it in They destroyed the um the cabbage tray underneath it and it just made a right mess Instead of just taking extra bit out I learned that the other way Matt says cheers bro and he's used them tongues once in two years Oh, they like crap No, he doesn't do any brickwork does he? Massive stone extension and he does a lot of um, he's he's the old man now. He's a lot of wood. Yeah Derek steed as an apprentice was it rough many dickhead bosses or crews? I had as an apprentice had one boss um small firm boss and his two sons And he was hard to work for but he was a fantastic bricklayer and he also made it made you Do a bit of fence and work with the classrooms. So You got to know a bit of everything Um, you didn't feel like at the time if that's just like I was you was horrible, but um I learned a lot from him and in fact Alex has met him Yeah A couple of weeks back and he's 80 and he's still bricklaying and he's still he says to me. I'm still faster than you Can't do it. He doesn't look at us. No, but yeah, um um I've not had a lot of idiot bosses I've had one when I once had left there The um, I worked for a little firm and the boss there He's like her own position flat cap and if he does anything on me, he's sweating with it with his hat And then we never got on and we didn't last long there. He got rid of me eventually, but um Just because I was like Young bricklayer he stuck in his ways. So they're like got him one job got me profiles out of the money So you can put them effing things back in the van right now So I was like, okay, so just let me use them. So just stuck in the stuck in his ways We're trying to do different new True dog. How long does it take you to build a five by three meter Rear single story kitchen down anywhere. That's a very specific. Do you want one doing or something? Um, so a five by three extension Couldn't have got a clue. Look at the one we just done with it up the floor on the extra 60 dpc You can't you just average about a week. Yeah From from from digging to finish The brickwork was an extra day. Oh, yeah, so we just can't guess it Without having the drawings to actually work it out Derek. It's good. You know your stress levels I don't tolerate stress well, but I'd push myself too far I get way too stressed way too stressed And then having high cholesterol is not a not really a good mix I'm spreading high blood pressure The blood pressure is okay, but the cholesterol is not good Um, I have lost a stone since February Robert, I like doing pointing jobs. Like you said, you can just zone out very little tools and nobody wants to come near you Because you're dusty Exactly That's It's like an I always say it's like having a rest If you just you get you just sit there and just like say just zone out It's quite it's quite therapeutic Chesslin, we use concrete lentils in SA South Africa and it's much better We use concrete lentils, but not in the face. So concrete lentils are always hidden away internal skins underground and Oh my god She's got the iPad out. Someone's poked the bear Um 80 great genetics at what level do you start your brick ties at and If you put wall insulation below DPC, what supports it? Well, you start your brick your ties on down course And then you do a bit closer than usual than your insulation sits on that And I've not heard it asked for for a long time with his deep insulation dips below um DPC, I think That I think that's why they put the cold bridges stripping now instead of that So we put the 25-year-old strip around the inside skin of the internal wall to stop any cold bridging Um, it's not it's not really good ideas, but the um Fabulous insulation below DPC, so it's always wet then Tower starts at DPC to To secure insulation the insulation we use any of the fiberglass full full. That's how it starts Alan, so now what's your current lead time on jobs guys schedule for next year looking like Nothing scheduled for next year. I don't know what the schedule for next week looks like I don't to be honest. It's a bit. Um, like I say, it's I'm struggling with organizing things And then it's going to get even worse soon with the weather I mean We went through a spell where We went out and worked in me for about two and a half weeks and that was when it was really dry all the time beginning of the um The heat way we had no work for two and a half weeks various people had us down Didn't get back to us things didn't work out and then the extension that we did The massive bifold doors and the cats Then I completely boiled the floor up got the levels wrong Um when the patio doors came out, there was a squeed in the house So we were 45 no, that was Hmm Charles 45 no, no, yeah, so um That cost us a day and a half labor and probably about 150 quid in materials and we had to Screw it. That took two days. Yeah, and the the floor was um some fancy one that gets it's like binding tiles It's glued down. It's like two millimetre Tolerance in it So it had to be absolutely bang off as if it wasn't hard enough So I probably worked last three days on that job for nothing. It was a lovely job But I actually never cost me a fortune. So I'm a bit Reluctant with the bigger job now like It's not not my confidence a lot That's why I like the linkies and stuff Just simple small jobs and then when Alex was away I did in Three garden walls loved it just garden walls. No pressure I did a great radius one and two straight ones and that was great to really enjoy that How's Stuart? How's Stuart? Little one asleep I take it Mom says it's been 18 weight day 18 day wait for the picture to go on Christine bought a picture and I still haven't put it up on the wall Mally's putting connect they've corrected themselves. I want to put out they put it have catnip plinthals been phased out Um catnip is just a brand name and catnips are still about oh, yeah, this is all everyone we used them at the A&E job Yes, um, let me just show you this talking about the little one This is our eating a spaghetti ball nice tonight Oh a little bit And she still says Alex I see you want to sleep I've been working out tonight. So I'm a bit knackered. Yeah, don't put yikes to the floor Mark Alex my son starts prickling at college next week He's not happy because he has to redo his maths and English again. Did you manage to pass them? Or did you have to retake them? I passed them. Yeah, I passed. I got a I think I've got a B in both. Yeah, I think I did anyway I can't remember what what good does it do me see that that helped him mark because Because the other lads are doing the maths and English Then while they were doing that Paul yeah Paul took him to one side. He's got like extra time, which is a big help for us Mom says she'll have a picture Give me the one picture Now the story behind the picture is the house in the background looks like Christine's auntie Deceased auntie Chrissy The house looks like her. No, it looks like a house her house which is on a croft in on the Isle of Lewis And now to everybody's so she wants to put that up in the mind of her auntie Chrissy So I'll put that up tomorrow Could be up and coming home like half past six seven o'clock for the last three days Stuart said they took both of them to get her down Had to fight her to sleep to get some chloroform and I've been a rat. Yeah Robert one of the favorite jobs garden walls it seems like everybody over COVID drove into the corners That's easy said jobs fixing not fixing knockdown walls. Yeah, we fixed two Two walls recently Well, I fixed one you are and you've added a pillar Yes, one was knocked down by a customer. I thought you meant the one we did with the skip man and knocked it over Oh, no, not that one. It should have been flattened, but we repaired it Yeah, the local skip firm I get the nut I get the nod when they when they knock the ball over the skip So I do quite a few repairs like that But um the two One garden wall was a radius on it. We did the drive the whole drive. We took the concrete up All the tarmac leveled it put eight or three actual drains in Edgings and then I put this radius wall in and then She can just have a tarmac of what baby. It's just ready to go. It's just hard-cold up But that was a great job that and then the other two Customer knocked those down and I built it and the other one I knocked I knocked it down and rebuilt it And actually all um two day jobs Local as well. Damien Richardson keep up the good work. Thank you. Here's Damien Brick and block get island insulation is always below DPC. I don't see the point in it No, it's not it's not keeping anyone warm down there. Is it? Well, no, you've got insulation in new floor You've got your cold bridges. So what's the point of putting the insulation down the carpet? I don't know not not down below DPC Yeah And Stuart escalated quickly now because I said get caught from DPC Cheslin, yeah, I'll tell Christine Cheslin makes your picture. Oh, she's soon. All right Um Max, but nice one. Hope it doesn't put him off going because you're like oh, yeah And like obviously well, you need your maths in English English for life just for everything Well, you especially need your maths feverately. Yeah, especially to especially work for you mark the stuff you do Yeah Marks who fit in adapters to the grinder to vacuum up the dust See that you can do that but I mean The grinders aren't enough to handle without a hose being attached to something and moving stuff around and It's hard if I'm in a wire attached to it because I ain't got a cordless Dylan Jones using joints ideally Richard my DPC level from my back to front of the house is 35mm out. What the hell And now you can increase your bed one end and crash Down the other to make the cons level that does but to each corner won't be level. What do I do? Um The most whole thing can get it built back properly. It's not much you can do really It's a house house 35mm that's not a lot to get from front to back if you You pick up two mil on your front and You don't even have to crash down too much You can pick up 35mm in no time You'd have to be too noticeable And you take if you're trying to you pick up like two or three mil right at the bottom With it, so you don't have bigger beds at the bottom. You won't notice that as long as you're Level at high level. I always say it's got to be right where people are walking past and you can see at high level below high levels isn't it as bad Brickham works, do you think doing just lintels and small stuff at all that hold Alex Alex from learning the trade more? I'm not really not learning the essentials and then I went to bloody learning to move Amy Learned a lot there. I learned a lot there. Three years on supers and three years in foundation. So There's a good few months doing a very big super extension with all fancy stuff. Yeah What have you Possibly get the extensions as well. Yeah We do everything we need to in like the very common field And Robert's got one of those adapters to return the lentils down. We wouldn't have much work The lentils keep us going. Oh, yeah one road We've done 14 houses on that road and I'm going to see in a fit the number number 30, which is our 15th house on that street And what's the biggest length seal you've got to put in any What's the biggest length steal you've put in? And any where the peers goalposts Wasn't it that three meter one? No 3.6 today Well, like 11 meters 11 foot That's that was the angle iron 11 foot angle iron. Yeah, that's still only 3.3 I think the biggest steels were done with Amy when we're doing the roof Yeah, but that didn't count because that's They were pretty organized. There's more banded on the site. We had Steel lifters, we had the tube deck It was perfectly set up. So you wouldn't you didn't even notice you're doing the steels to be honest. It was so easy, wasn't it? Yeah, yeah, absolute doggie Chancellor has to be like cordless tools. Oh, yeah. Yeah, we do Especially when that's dropped a brick on one And the other reciprocal right in the middle And then was the next day of the day after the day after that the day after that I was grinding above and just How nice to get the cable and just grow up straight through the cable to grind Luckily, yeah, you had a good circuit breaker. Yeah, just sort of big poof. Yeah And the um, the recipe saw we got a new cable 56 for a new cable thing So I did the grinding myself because I cut it quite close to the grinder. We still got a cable Woody says hi guys. Oh, it was good to see you work Thank you Woody. Mike Boyd asks what's our favorite tool with crisps? I have watches every day Gamewalkers I do like a good cheese doggie though We need more helps as Chesley Well, we get help from the robbies with steels when they're there. Yeah I learned on extensions in private jobs and I've always preferred it like getting my brain thinking rather than running Into a line all day every day Yeah Do you have this thing to work in overtime? Is it? What's your preferred major cutting blade? I use husks, but they seem to dull in no time What's the name of the one that you that you get we get one from tool station Marquist No, it seems to last a very long time. We've got one in We've got we've got one on the electric ground of the 230 9-inch one And when we got the still saw I just went straight to screw fix and bought us bought the same blade 300 mil And it cuts the wrapping just make I think you had in like what was it like four years? You've had two. Yeah On the right spin to 50 quid about 50 quid. Yeah, I think that's 60 for the Still saw blade 35 40 that's more. Yeah. Yeah, but it's like got a big segment on it And they don't wear an old purpose to cut steel and concrete reinforce concrete But we also have I need to come get it really we've been sent an evolution Cutting so which is 300 mil disc But it has water suppression. It's 240 volt would have water suppression And then it's fantastic because it's the wash is smaller. So it'll cut to 150 millimeter So we're still so just get to your hundred The evolution goes straight through and we need to do a video for that because We've got to do a view for it and they're doing a Discount code for it. So I think you get 5% off of you if you use our discount code So we need to get that organized But if you do happen to go on the website and have a look if you just type in capital letters bricklay That's the discount code if you fancy one can't delete one's message Why would she put you need to play a hammer for the air picture? Um apart from Rosie, do you ever need the brickies on youtube that you follow and you're watching? Maybe a few don't we got loads too many just loads loads Too many because I should be editing and not watching other videos Sheffan's what time is it actually being an hour? Is it? Mm-hmm Half eight Well, I stayed in the UK. What time is it itself up again? What's the time difference? It's almost time to wrap up They'll be ahead of us won't they? Really? Yeah, because they're further over than Sweden Oh, yeah Sean, hi guys, 50 year old painter and decorator who commented on your instagram posts a few few weeks ago about me going back to college Train was a brickie and like, you know To tell you know, I started this Monday very nice Congratulations and a good luck. I hope it goes well for you mate Dylan asks how long does it take to edit a video usually? Does the editing part? Just the editing part probably Probably between one and two hours depends on the video. It's the uploading and Yeah, because you've got to edit it Then you've got to put all the um transitions in the end and the beginning And then you've got to put music on it and then you've got to upload it through a hard drive And then you've got to upload it from your hard drive to YouTube And it all just takes time Half nine uh in South Africa Is that all? Just an hour ahead? I suppose They're probably the same of what it's it's not half far down. You have to have far far over your eyes Yeah Well Are you keeping it? Yeah I think that's open, isn't it? Sure, I was watching your videos and channel that gave me the push to do it. Oh, that's good That's great to bring people into the trade Yeah, because we just did a hybrid video first and it got a bit serious so The YouTube, not the Brooklyn, Brooklyn was a series Yeah, not the YouTube It's nice when people say that they're actually helping people Do you ever get jobs booked in and think this will make a good video? Absolutely Yes They all make a video. Some make some are better than others Well done, Sean says them all See, I think the demolition ones make good videos because it's a bricklaying channel They don't do as well as the bricklaying video But it's all part of bricklaying. I suppose we should have called ourselves building Steven and Alex because We'd then have to do a lot of everything But then we'd probably get the 20.1 copywriters before he invites us over Yeah Yeah But right Yeah, good night guys. See you all soon Thanks Richard Thanks Chesley Chesley And so Richard And Chesley And Molly Time to go and put my boss messed up on watching the next things Yeah, I know the feeling, Molly The boss messes up too Let's get Mum's coffee Right, we'll see you all soon Thank you everybody for watching And it'll be Monday, 8.30 Oh yeah Don't know what it is yet, but we'll find out and let you know Yes, you know Coming to see Oh no You can have them to yourself now on here We're just we're just wrapping up I'll see you in a minute Yeah, see you later everybody See you later everybody Thanks for joining us
