WHAT KIND OF CLOWN CONCRETES OVER THE CARPET ?? !! 🤡🤦🏽‍♂️

Well, that's another first for me. Wonder why this concrete won't come up. It's a huge piece of stone which goes from there to there. That's very zoomed in. Right. Day something day five. Hopefully the worst silver it anyway. No more. Well, bit of bit of just bit of slate to go in the loft for the pearling and then we can get the uh get the long acro dropped and taken back. These have to stay but these are ours. We can leave those here. Um this is today. So spoke to the fireplace man. So basically we have to start coming in from this side. Take all this off. Take all the cast iron bit out. I'm not sure about this bit. I should imagine that's getting changed, but um we need to get it back to the original square fireplace that was originally built and basically copy it all the way through the chimney breast. So quite deep this one. So we've got hopefully well we're going to have a length on the front skin and then think three more skins behind it. So, I'm hoping that's we've got to the back of the fire the with three skins in there. So, hopefully we've got enough flintless. So, it's a matter of taking a big hole out this side, putting the lintils in, patching up, and working our way out and hopefully nothing collapses. But this this wall, this is a rebuild cuz it's all bricks with paint on. So, they're reclaimed. So, this has been changed in the past, but um it's staying as a log burner double aspect. So, it's right way through. If I've mentioned that before, I'll edit that out. But, um yeah, we're going to get this um get this done today and at the same time tidy all three floors up. Start in the loft and work our way down. It's not too bad upstairs. This just needs a bit of a brush and a quick hoover and then obviously we'll get it all spotless when we leave. So, let's get some tools together and start making a mess again. [music] >> [music] >> Hey, [music] Hey, hey, hey. [music] >> [music] >> Okay. Heat. Yeah. >> Pull the top out of there. Come on. Good. Heat. Hey, Heat. When you're patching up that doing that point up top, there's a little bit of bridge to go in there. See? 80s later. >> Yeah. [music] >> [music] >> back. [music] Hey, hey, hey. [music] >> [music] >> As usual, nothing straightforward for us. I'm pretty sure that skin is the skin I've gone through on the other side. So, it's what is it? 1 2 3 4 five or six skin's thick. One, two, three. One, two, three, four, five. Yeah, six. Six in a bit. >> We need three more links. >> No, because the gathering in there isn't on there and it starts over here. So, >> right. >> Basically, we need to take all that all that bulk out right down [cough] and then lint front, lint back. We got [snorts] a spare lint now. Okay. >> But if you look at the cheeks, look at your side. What do you see? >> Only one brick wide. >> No, it's not brick. >> It's solid stone, >> is it? Yeah. >> Oh, yeah. >> Which means we can't just put a little in there. But I'm pretty sure the fireplace man said we need 760 gap and that is a meter I think. to check >> 1 m 30. >> 1 m and 30. So, so um >> half a brick pillar. >> I think what we need to do is just skin it up in block. Let's skin a block up this side. Skin a block up that side. Plenty ties into the brick work. Stick the lintle across the block. Same over there. And then there'll be a big there'll be a big what 400 mil chasm. So we should imagine they could stick a board on onto that fireboard with a hole in it for the flu. I'm just guessing. But I've asked the asked Neil to contact the fireplace man to give us some guidance. And then obviously we need a height where we're going to put lintil in. [clears throat] >> So our lintils won't be long enough anyway. Hm. >> But they would just be the right size, wouldn't they? >> 1,200. >> Yeah. But one's 1 m and 50 in it. So, I'm just going to crack on. Take all this bulk out. Take everything out. Back to that skin. And obviously when once we get a bit further down, we're going to find the hole we've made behind that. Um, and it's all it's all self-supporting up here. It doesn't need propping. As you can see, it's gone up like that. That's how it falls when it has isn't props. This, as you will have seen, just pushed out. It's an absolute mess. So, whoever did it in the in the past and it was all loose. Someone said, "Come, have you got a brick?" Don't think so. Just plaster over it. You can put your hand through it there. >> You definitely can now. >> Yeah. So, we'll have we'll have an early break now and then get back stuck into it. So, yeah, we smell the soot again now. [cough] [clears throat] It's >> loads of it. Freaking horrible. [gasps] Our clothes have been washed twice. And they still smell of salt. Right, let's go and have a bott cuz I'm hungry. I'll get back to this episode. Try to let stuff fall cuz much more dust. I'm going to keep some pick clean on Oh, we found a live body in the chimney breast. Or is it a pelter case trying to get out here? That's going to drop that. Heat. Heat. Heat. Right, we're through that channel tunnel. We've just found France. So, the reason we're um chucking it through that way now is that that's the that's where the windows with the skip. So, we're just chucking it through here. Less walking for Alex. >> Yeah. And uh we're through the worst of the soot anyway. So, that's a good thing. I just I just need talking through the anatomy. What's going on now? There's the uh the stone there. Look at the state of that massive big piece of stone. Wonder how they held that up while they built around it. That's bonkers. That to make sure we put uh plenty of ties in that. Give it a bit of uh help. Wow. Anyway, let's get the rest of this bolt out. This bolt's not doing it giving it any strength. This is just loose inside. It's not tied in. There's no eders in it. There's no ties. It's just bulked. So, um, yeah, let's get the rest of this out. Hey, hey, hey. >> [music] >> Hey, [music] hey, hey. [music] Heat. Heat. and thank thanks to the people who've actually said that uh it's it's fun. But um thanks to the others who've let my experiences really made me elevator back into something just behind. Simple move. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Oh, a battery. Let's put a battery in. Oh, I think that's a good time to call it for lunch. That's it. We're down to sand. The whole house isn't that low. Foundation's not low. As you can see, the cheeks big lumps of stone. So, no um no fitting little into there. That's one piece. That one huge. A few of the old tiles buried underneath the half and they redid it. What's up there? Dark be a minute. >> Let's see. Bring it this way a bit. >> Does it gather in just to one flip? >> I think so. >> Yeah. >> Can't see any lights at the top. No, >> no. >> I think I've got an idea for a thumbnail. >> Yeah, >> I'll try and if you put me mask back, I'll try and grab onto the wall. So, your feet are dangling. That's another first for me. Wonder why this concrete won't come up. I've never seen carpet used as reinforcing concrete before, but it bloody works. That does not always shift. Even the grips are still down underneath the concrete. Oh yeah. Yeah, this carpet just concrete over it. Be right. It's worth the reinforcing off cuz it's not attached to the jam now. It's popped. So, it's not actually it's floating now. So, it's breaking a lot easier, but it's still got that carbon fit. Unbelievable. So, we can take these bricks out now and concrete the whole thing. So, I have to get some extra stone and cement. get that sorted this afternoon and then concentrate on the block work and lentils tomorrow. Focus back again tomorrow. So, we'll come in for half a day and get it finished tomorrow. Right, let's carry on with this. >> [music] [music] >> Hey, hey, hey. [music] >> [music] >> Need to get more concrete in there. Hey, >> get more pump in there. I'll leave you charging up. I'm going get some more stuff then. >> Say again. >> I'll leave you charging up. I go get more some more stuff. Right. I've been for supplies. So, we've got enough stuff for the concrete now. Hopefully. Bloody hope so. Six bags. We've got um Yeah. Um, stop saying. We're going to concrete up to the level of the floorboards. Fish green screen down obviously cuz everything's quite damp. The um it's going to be a lot damper soon because we need to cut this this opening out on this end. And if you look here, you got this huge piece of stone which goes from there to there. And then you got this bricks return. Well, they're just half stacked on top of each other. And that's the the the wall. Oh, in the soot. And then you've got this side, which is again this is well, three pieces of stone. You got thin piece up here, piece here, and then a big piece here. And then you got these bricks again. And not many look like they're tied in. So if we chop chop it back to that and sail a block work through then you just have these valves sailing loads of valves just sitting there. So we're going to cut it back to here. But up the block to it. Tie it in there. Tie it in there. Same there. Cut it back. So cut it back tight with this this brick here cuz that's the most sticky out one. And it's it does that it's 20 more wider at this end than it is at that end. So we'll keep the blocks tight there and bring them in and bring them in here and square it all up. But so like I say cuz it's lime mort. It's all brick work. If we start backing banging that it's just going to crumble. So we got we've got the host pipe in. So I've never had a hose pipe in the living room. All these first on this job that's for the water suppression. And instead of cutting it from the room, we're going to cut it from inside the chimney. So the water ends up in here in the ground rather than on the floor and in the floorboards. That's the theory. Um we're going to have to set something up here. You know, put our board up here. I >> was going to say put the board behind you. >> Yeah, put the tripod behind it and something just to stop the spray. But everything's covered up anyway. So that's the plan. Alex's going to get a mix in. Then we'll I'll get the cuts done and then maybe get the bit work out today. We're running out of space now. Again, we've got our money's worth again. Should be okay. And then um I picked everything up, so it's job knock. >> What's the uh gauge I'm doing? Uh >> just doing the bucket gauge like you uh 211. No, it's not. Is it? It's 421. Hey, >> 421. >> What do you mean? >> Four buckets of ballast. Oh, no. There's no sand, is there? I >> was going to say, yeah, we're done. >> Four four ballast to one cement. >> Okay. >> Yeah, it's it's premixed ballast. Um, right. That's it. Hey. Got a Heat. Hey, Heat. Data doo doo doo doo doo. Heat. Heat. >> [music] >> the wrong side. I don't know. They actually got me over there. One with the concrete in lentils in. I hope that's the okay height for the uh stove. There you go. We had the camera on the wrong side. So, this where the action's happening. Got me lentil in. Not very happy about this bit. This is a really dodgy corner, but the plaster everything's holding everything in place while we make it safe. So, I've got a few more bricks to go in there. That's all top point is ready. That's all in. And the bricks are very dry. So that goes off pretty instantly. So I'm going to have to go and get more stuff for this concrete. It's not going very far. It's a big old hole that we've dug there. And then the two cheeks, as you can see, the cut back. And then the con the blocks are going to flush with that tomorrow. Give us a 800 opening. And we've got 900 to the bottom of the lintil. So you'll see the you'll [clears throat] see this the blog burner and some of the flu going up and obviously you can see straight through. That's the idea. And log burner heats rooms then as well. Should look nice. I just hope the height's okay. The minimum 630 which is way down from that. It's like a foot down. So we've gone for a bit higher. So obviously you can appreciate the uh double aspect of it then. So I'll stick it on time somewhere. Alex just getting more gear and carry on with dep [music] I got to do it. >> [music] >> Heat. [music] Hey, Heat. >> [music] >> Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo. [music] Heat. Heat. N. [music] Heat. Heat. N. >> [music] >> Hey, hey, hey. >> [music] [music] >> Yeah. There we go. What's left over? Oh, that's uh about half done now all together. That's very zoomed in. That's better. There we go. It's a little uh it's getting buried under slate anyway. So, yeah. So, that's one lintil in packed up. Concrete's in. So, now it's just build this up, get get it tied in, get the lintil on that, and then patch our little pyramid up. So, yeah. Now, I need to go and do an outro for that cuz we're not done it yet. doing this intro the day after finishing this because that was the worst days I've ever had to go. It's done. That's um done that this morning. That is packed up with sleep now where that sleeper is. That sleeper what's it called? Ping. So that's all packed up and tight under the headers that the ping sat on. And yeah, can't really see up there cuz I've got the lights gone, but you can you can see in this time it looks nice. And there you go. Lovely stuff. [sighs] first weekend. Never um been involved in a patch up of a uh 2 and 1/2 story fireplace thing. [music] Anyway, that will be it for this video.
