 So that was the camera, you're famous here on YouTube, it's quite plastered this one. I don't mean Alex, I mean the wall. Good thinking. Good morning. What's the day Alex, Tuesday? Tuesday yeah, the something something of April. 26th. 26th of April. Short week for this week, I think we're off to Legoland on Friday. Fingers crossed. Again another assignment for Shaxson magazine, for anyway that's another thing. Today we're on a rescue mission, customers always up and said I've got a bit of a problem with the world here and I came to have a look at this in December and you're back from A&E over Christmas. So we're finally here, so I'll spin you around and show you what's what so prepare yourself, it's not pretty. I don't mean Alex, I mean the wall. That was pretty shocking. That's that Welsh guy on Instagram says, absolutely shocking. So as you can imagine our job is going to be to save this. Just dig the foundation, a few flags at the end, the flags are supposed to be level, that's probably a good three inch fall on them. So we're going to put a foot in and bring our wall up past the flags, so they can bring the flags up. This is how it was left by the way. This is what they did. That's pretty well done. This is how the job was left, this is the cement that they're using. Never touched that, no words. I don't know if they did the flags and I think the flag, the steps might have been original, they just weren't around it. Look at that. This is the finished job, it's not even cut straight that. This should be a halting knot. Yeah and the customer was struggling to get someone to do it, so these are just some random builders of Facebook, so you've got to be careful when you're getting someone to do your work, you need recommendations, you want to see the work and you want to speak to people who've had them work for them before. I mean the rest of it's not awful, but it's not good either. There you go. A bit of sand cement just tossed in at the front. And hollow underneath. Try the next one. I'll just pop this down. Oh got frogs. A little frog there. There's a bit of a move probably before you get squished, it's getting out of the way, it's going to get squashed. There we've got him. There you go, that's how I don't deep the holes there, it's enough for frogs to live in. When you go down there, go on. There he goes. Same thing. Yeah. What's this sand on? Sand. Yeah there's not even any cement under that. The one plus side is it's easy for us. It's easy for us to take up and things like this. Yeah. So the plan is we're going to build this up in the nine-inch wall, back skin underneath the flags, front skin to run past with the coping on top, so it'll look like a single wall, but it won't be a single wall. And then these flugs are going to be laid back to the back of our wall. So in effect it's going to be there like that coming up. So these back four rows are going to have to be lifted and blended back flat. Down here is not so bad, you can see it's been flooding. So obviously that ankle drain needs to clean now, but yeah, we've got to get it all this. We're going to this end here, we're going to follow through. It's going to be gray, Wiresdale steps back along there, and then we're going to skin in front of that. We're not knocking that down, we're going to build in front of it, and then put a coping on top of that. So yeah, that's enough waffling. Let's get some work done. He's okay here? Yeah. Stack them on top of each other, but like 45 degrees, like spin that round so the corners stick out along the square bits. They're easy to pick up then and put down. Like this? Like that, yeah. Stack them like that. Yeah, so there you go. So as usual, we'll work on timelapse for a bit while we get organised. Check back in. I think we better fill in the timelapse, it'll be done in two seconds. Yeah, we'll check back in in a bit. Catch you then. Right, we're back. That has forgot to press freaking record again, but obviously that didn't take much to get out. That had popped off, that had just flipped up the air. I just got to pick under the flag. Look, the flags aren't even laid on the sand and cement. They were just laid on the floor. Friggin disgrace. So what we've done now is just set our line up to make sure we're parallel, and that's our line to follow now. So we're going to go through here now, pop everything else out the way, move everything out of the way, which we can start digging a little trench through here. So we're going to pile everything here for now, because the skips not coming till tomorrow, is it? Yeah, let's see. So Alex, we need to get all this shit back where that tongue bag is. So we've got room to work. Yeah. Yeah, so by the end of the day, this is going to look a lot different. So I'll fill in this bit actually, I'll pop and go along here, show you just how bad it is. So, um, where should we put the camera? Put it here? Yeah, put them so bad. We'll work our way back to the steps. There it is. So here's the camera. You're famous here on YouTube. It's quite a plus at this one. So we're going to go near the concrete concrete. So to get the smoother you make that out of the squash then. I've got that flat, mate. I'm going to struggle with that. So I'll put them over here. Yeah, down that side between the two. Yeah, I think there's a little crap behind it. Do you want to come this side? It's not a great wall of China, is it? No wall. It's not even a wall. It's coming apart pretty easily too. So I'm welcome to... How not to build a wall with Stephen Alex? Featuring the frogs. Featuring the frogs. Here you go. This, that, this pump in there, which we just dragged over, obviously. The reason why we dragged over, this is the end here. There's the bottom block and there's a cross section of the foundation it was on. That's it. That's all it was sat on. It's barely worked through the wall. Just a bit of sand and cement, straight onto me. Sorry. And everything we've used was reused stuff as well, so it was all free of water and just a disgrace. So we're in a position now where we can start digging, cover all that back out the way, start coming through with our trench. And we're going to leave the steps in for now because that's the step we're going back in the same place. So we'll go back to the steps, we'll pull them out and we'll just dig a little concrete pad for the toilet thing. And yeah, let's go home. Yadoki. Spades up and there we have it. That is one trench dug. So now we are nipping to, we're nipping to forwards. I know, yeah. That's all just come from digging a little 200 mil trench. But yeah, so I think, oh, 300 mil. I thought it was 200 deep. No, it's not really deep. It's probably, there it's about to be deep because it's a big pile. Yeah. Yeah, trench is done. So we're going up to Fairwoods. Fairwoods in Poland to go grab some stone. Ton of ballast. And then we're going to get that mixture on, get this concreted. We're just, we're waiting a call from Hughes Gray to see if the bricks are in stock. Because then Fairwoods have only got a third of what we need. Fairwoods don't have enough. So we need to find somewhere that's got enough for tomorrow, because obviously. Gray stone is very popular at the moment. Yeah. So fingers crossed that they got chose with some good news. And until then we're going to grab some, grab some supplies and we'll catch you, catch you back here. Right after a quick lunch. It's all going to live with them but I don't know if there's anything, yeah after a quick lunch we'll clean the van out. I'm going to get a ton of ballast in there. I'm going to get a seven cement there. And then we're off through the house with the stuff. Bit of a pain, but it needs to be done. So I'm off to Fairwoods, which is in the same village we're working now. So I shouldn't be long getting that. I'll get loaded up and that's going to get set up. The mixture's always round there ready. He's filling all the buckets up with water so then we can just spend the next couple of hours blasting the concrete in. So here we go. We shall see you in a bit. Right it is after lunch and I'm back. Dad's just gone to get the stone because we forgot to take the mixture out of course. So he dropped me off. We've unloaded the mixer so we've got room for them to stone now. And yeah so I've just been getting everything as prepped as I can. I've got some ramp systems just to get the barriers in and out easy enough. I've tried to move some of this back a bit just so we can get the mixer around and get the concrete dumped in there. I've made a start leveling that up a bit more as well because looking it's going up a little bit as a bit of a hill. So I've just started to carve my way through it and make life a bit easier. I've got the laser set up. We picked that up while we swung past home so this will make things a bit easier getting the levels sorted. But yeah that's all I've really been doing to get it set up, all I really can do. So I'm going to start getting some buckets filled with water and then again just see if any more of that hill needs leveling out. But until then I'll see when Dad comes back. There's Alex. Two of those bags I've got holes in the bottom too. Let me push those top two off. Use the bottom two first. First butter us through the house. This is the only time I'll admit a stand would be handy. This is the only time and that's simply because we're working back to front here. We've got no skip so this is waiting to go in the skip tomorrow otherwise we'd have all this patio room to work. So we're just going to mix it, tip it in and work our way down as best we can. The sun's blazing now. Alex just checked it over the laser level. It's within two inches so we're just going to come through and level it like that. We'll start off at 100mm at the top and work our way through. So yeah we'll stick on time lapse as usual and then see you in a bit. There we have it. An actual foundation dug and concreted. An actual foundation. Oh yeah, here's now. Yeah, so you saw what was there so. It's behind you. That's already a vast improvement. So obviously we're going to let this dry. We still have yet to hear from Hughes Gray but I think Dad's going to get in touch with him again with me to find out if we can get these bricks for tomorrow. So that'll be the plan and yeah it's been a nice, it's been a pretty steady day. Steady day yeah. Just not an idea having to go through the house from not ideal not having to skip because we've got a lot of work. We've got a couple of hours of hard work tomorrow. Yeah but you may do what you've got. So Thursday morning we're off back to the Thursday we're back to the extension job. To take the steels off the van. Take the steels off. Load them on the wall at least and then with the leftover stone that we have we can just dump that in the outer part of the backfill in. We're not building anything on it because we're away Thursday. We're away. We set off on that Thursday so. Right so there it is. If you liked it be sure to give it a thumbs up and if you're new to the channel be sure to subscribe because that's always a massive help. We shall see you in the next video. Until then take care. I've already said that. See you next time.
