oh hi didn't see you there Scott Brown here and today's exciting
episode we come up with a way to work in the rain
okay well we've had rain delays thanks to this weather we've had
rain delays and we're going to pop up marquee view now we're going to
try and put up here as we cut our piles and yeah let's pop it up so
that man look at that so we've used the laser level there to mark all the heights on the posts
and part has been digging these trenches here which is the first step in our next little task
just checking levels to make sure that the laser is on point now I mentioned this in the last
episode for nine and a quarter hey man so here we are again being builders being chippies what we've
done is we've cut all the posts usually at this point we would be flying ahead with the joists and
bearers and everything but we have to do something special on this one firewall fly nation takes
exactly now usually the house looks like this at the bottom you know you've got you know just a
frame with the hardy panel that's what used to be around here as well and then there's a little gap
underneath and usually that gap isn't a problem but in this case the wall is so close to the
fence line that you need what is called a firewall and part of this firewall is this concrete at the
bottom so of any fire starts on the other side it can't sneak under the house and burn it down
so as part of our little concrete wall we have to put a bit of steel in here so we have to glue the
steel into the concrete and I thought because it's gonna be such a high action sequence let's get the
GoPro out I mean some people skydive some people kayak I I just glued that's recording action
we've got steel in there this isn't structural so none of the steel is on the plan or anything
we've just put it in there so the concrete can stay in one piece because concrete strong and
compressions but it's weak and tension so if there's any ground movement the steel should
keep it from cracking see you next week how the oranges maybe another three days
