i need to fix it for once and for all from exploring and seeing the vast oceans on our planet
and now I'm into probably the greatest and most strenuous journey that I've ever undertaken
partnering with my blind friend Chris and building a house
we've got a guy who's busy leading this build who can't tell a straight line from a skew line
this can't be a recipe for success or can it
so ron's taking on the role of of four man basically he's going to be my eyes
i just want to get stuck in and prove that a blind man can do anything that a such person is able
to i guess when we named this building blind we want to be honest about what we were going to do
but when you say it over and over it gets scarier and scarier we are going to be building blind
proudly brought to you by everite home of new tech building solutions that you can trust
so today i had a team of guys doing a little bit of scraping of the last soil and while
they were busy scraping of course uh well there was a reason to have them here aside from the
scraping up of soil and cleaning up just because our cement was going to arrive and we had three
pallets worth of cement that we had to manually maneuver from where their crane truck dropped it
and packed it inside so it's all from a company called afrisam it's an awesome strong cement
well known for its little brown tinge because of the kimberley brown rocks that are in it
very excited tomorrow we start laying bricks with the uh with the new cement dion from afrimat who's
our ready mix concrete provider our partner he popped into site just to say hello which was
always nice to see him well i see all the other foundations of still full of water down there
but that there it's that magic movie that you guys put in that's what i'm saying yeah i mean
it keeps that water in there brian manson i'm just working the sledgehammer with chuck and
dionzia as well he popped into hot sauces so i was just experimenting today to see if it does um
break easily because then we can just get a guy on it for a couple of days just to shatter it because
that golf ball size can stay in the foundation but bigger we'll we'll make voids yeah for 120
bags because they sent um eight pallets and each pallet's got 40 bags so we sent five of kishon
i'm sure they're there with him right now and the others are all here they're all in it's all good
and we've got nice footage of him offloading here and the guy's carrying in i even formed jacques
carrying the last bag in and he found me left in a bag and all that stuff so it's called man
are you popping in this week sometime cool guess what they tried they want to quote
me 5 000 to take it away and i have to get my guys to move it to the front and load it
and well i have a cheaper option everybody that comes and visits you tell them to load the bucky
oh there you go you can't you can't come here diana not crush one rock something
okay let me let me try diane when do you have to pick up a sledgehammer
you have some massive forms when you're finished yeah no it's all
good man i'm losing weight fast and furiously already yeah yeah you look
great i've lost about six kgs since we started this project from what both
worried about these guys
and the long ones we can just put on the ground to the side here there's ten long ones then awesome
thank you i was worried you guys were not gonna get you because we're about to pack up just just
these are the poles they're used poles that are previously used on a wine farm that we've
purchased and they'll be used for our garden engine as well as a few of the longer ones
that we've also purchased that'll help us erect stronger fence pimps because the the fence keeps
falling over in one area unfortunately the sand underneath that area is quite a coarse grainy sand
that doesn't really bite so as soon as the wind comes it just whacks it so we've ordered 10 poles
that are a little bit longer and stronger and with our new cement we're going to just make
sure that that never happens again this fence is such a thorn in my side it's breaking my heart
because we've used so many bags of cement but the holes were dug too big the poles are too short
we've now gone out and got the correct stuff we've got our good cement
and we're gonna fix it for once and for all properly with people that know how to fix it
now guys get tired towards the end of the day and then bury the poles a little bit too short
mix the cement a little too weak or a little too runny and this is the type of headache it costs
money of course we don't know if it's caused by the the massive rains the flood that opened up
from the skies if it's the wind or if it's some friendly neighbor that's given a little shove
you
