so
one of my favorite feelings in the world is when the weather is average outside i've got
all my materials inside the job and i got my tools set up and i can just frame stuff
i just bought that trolley in order to move things
around here because i'm working by myself and the wheels come deflated
this is just start by getting a bike pump i don't want to buy a bike pump when i buy a 20 trolley
all right the first framing related thing that we're doing the thing with old buildings
is they have old framing that is no longer for sale
and they're all different sizes so this stud is what nearly 80 ml and then it's got this 12 mil
atom on top of it and that baton it's kind of like that it was used as a backing board for
plaster back in the day and also bracing as well you can see the back of it here all native timbers
so i've just got to measure them they're both within a couple of mil of 90 ml
which happens to be the same width as our timber fun fact about this timber
it is 4.2 and this room is 4.4 meters so it's the perfect dance let's do some cutting shall we
so there's the off cut and that's my three meters and i just have to bang straight into the wall
oh so you would think i would just chuck one in the middle right but we're going to have a lot of
pipes going through here the washing machine will be based right here i want to leave room for that
and also the electrical but but yeah going 600 from the wall back to the center of this
which is half a shooter jib is better in this case
i'm really annoyed at myself i was pulling this corner piece out here
trying to clear away for where the plasterboard is going to go
so i can decide where to put the stud spacings and um as i pulled this out
this pops off i don't want to replace the door jamb if i don't have to
let's have a look at how i fix that so the first thing i do is i get this glue this
is titebond three so just all around good wood glue you can use it inside and out that's why i
have it but any kind of pva will do i go nuts you can always wipe off the rest look at that
then you just push it up into place the paint kind of tells you where it's meant to go here we go
there you go it's like new again
so my main goal right now is to get the bathroom ready for
electrician and the plumber that's why i framed that
so they could get powerpoint and water supply for the washing machine the next stage is all of this
i've got to reframe this because if you have a good look at it all of that is pretty badly
damaged but a mold there it's actually cracked in half as well and luckily i got the plumber in here
as you saw on the last exciting episode he had already been in to take away this but now
i can take it off so someone has something to eat and then do that i timed my lunch break
well they are announcing what level two is going to look like as some of you guys will know we're
at level three well the prime minister right now is explaining what we can do in level two
all right well you might know this already especially if you're in new zealand
because by the time this comes out it's well and truly established what level 2 is
but basically they say schools and early learning centers can fully open travel around new zealand
can restart so at the moment we can only travel in auckland in the auckland area
so travel around new zealand starts shops cafes gyms and hairdressers can be open holy
hugs okay for close family don't shake hands with new people all right so we can hug family members
well that announcement doesn't mean that we're actually going to level two
but uh it means that we could on they're gonna announce on monday or today depending
on when i upload this so yeah it's not over yet but we're moving in the right direction
well you can see the extent of the water damage coming all the way down here
and uh what's this ah all right this is day two um i did pull out all the stuff here now
you can see through the kitchen but there's uh more water damage than i anticipated which
hey that's renovations right this here i pulled all that out you can see all the right there
and that is like a joist and it's pretty soft and i put my hand under there with my
gloves on and i can feel the floorboards like them that run under this platform and those
floorboards feel pretty rotten so i'll have to lift this platform up this is a gas pipe
and that gas pipe was feeding the oven and it's definitely live so don't hit that
okay it's actually not too bad there's your rot on a couple of floorboards
it could be your worst day so i'm going to actually build a new platform there
i'm going to pull out some more right but i might end today's exciting episode there
cinemas and other public spaces including playgrounds and gyms
can reopen all will be required to have physical distancing and strict hygiene measures thursday
this week cafes more everything's right in new zealand so that's like schools on monday
this thursday cafes restaurants stuff like that and then next thursday next week the 21st bars
