I mean it's it is weird right like sticking I still get a bit
funny having a camera in my face yeah and I've been doing it for five and a
half years how many films would just end up on only fans [Music]
so we've been retrofitting the double glazing ourselves on this job but we're kind of like
my time is limited I've got a kitchen to build it made me think I should reach out to someone
and ask for a bit of help so I hit up the guys at Viridian who have been kindly supplying us
with glass and I asked if they were prepared to send some guys out and do the big window for us
it kind of represents more what they actually offer to clients people were messaging me saying
oh it's all good that you're double glazing your window Scott but I don't have the tools for that
and I had to say no no that's not what virgin offers they they come and do the service for you
so now they're doing the service for us
foreign
Ty of hammer I think yeah
she's pretty thin
away pretty nicely there you go nice it wasn't just straight with the table I think
it's interesting it's got the rebate for the hinge as well
might be bog so no hinge on that one eh no which is it's actually really good
yeah it makes life easy
[Music]
there we go
pulling that back [Music]
all right [Music]
[Music]
so would you say the aluminum windows are quicker that's what you're saying earlier definitely a
lot quicker there's a lot less prep and work and it's basically just cutting four new beads and
in glazing glazing the glass in and wedging it up really which is uh oh you should be able to do an
average three bedroom house and a day and a half with two guys yeah yeah wow whereas Timber yes
looking at maybe eight to ten individual Windows per day yeah wow
[Music] [Applause]
Dusty how long have you been doing this I'm coming up 10 years yeah so yeah we
well now which has been good I enjoy it so you're The Apprentice Scotty
third year yeah third year is it like building where you do it for a certain
amount of time like certain amount of hours no no it's just uh three courses over three years
um and then yeah you kind of have a certain amount of assignments that you've got to kind
of get through and pass and at a good standard and he he comes along and makes sure that you
know I am doing what I meant to be doing Darcy does yeah tutor and all that that yeah I'm
confident and sweet you become a Tradesman so hopefully well March end of the year yeah yeah
easily yeah cut them off they're just plastic are there yes oh rubber yeah yeah are just a clear
block because this is the bottom of the wood the bottom of the unit of the window that this here
stops it from actually sitting on there allows if any moisture gets in there it's not sitting again
even if the bead fails this glue will not allow the unit to fall out yeah at all very
strong take our beads nice and snug in each corner pushing it down getting a good seal there so oh
there we go one in the middle of this side of that
cool you've got to be careful the angle you're firing it obviously you don't want
to hit the glass and you don't want to either blowing out this side is that
fairly easy to do to hit the glass it is yeah let's say it's done plenty of these
just hit it once or twice over the years but definitely something you don't want to do yep
[Music]
please
are you doing any future glaze as a favor yeah
Nails beat screws definitely makes life easy getting it out yep nice
you like those old Italian men watching other people work
if you say things like I could have done it myself it was just too busy
[Music]
oh then you can say you were involved thanks guys
appreciate it that's all right it's a dodgy sucker so don't pull them too hard
yeah yeah that's it in that carpet box Scotty
nice
ing out the fix that's that's oh that was I made that back when I was in the print
sorry what what is bashing out a fix so like this one I don't know if you were here when we
checked them out but see you're getting them out from the inside yeah so these are called
fixed windows because they don't open these are called sashes because they open so these
are supposed to smack it out and you've had that since you're an apprentice that one yeah
there's a new one somewhere new one too there's a new one down there but you prefer that one's
yours yeah that's hilarious it's locked a few windows out it's just it's just a four over two
parts two by fours for the Americans yeah yeah two by four
you know this is probably the only time that the windows are gonna get clean
[Music]
good morning Jason good how are you good thanks
[Music]
thank you
[Music]
foreign [Music]
count of how many iterations of a living room that we've had and this is not the final one this isn't
going to be where the TV is is it your favorite so far yes so Dulux kindly got us an interior
designer a local woman called Wendy from good Interiors the whole experience showed us the
benefit of an interior designer because Scott and I had ideas of what we wanted but when you put it
all together it didn't really work Wendy was able to take all of our ideas and actually make a plan
out of them so she helped us pick things that had similar yellow undertones so that's our the Dulux
metallic range it's like a champagne gold it's called Metro Mars and then this is the moranti
that we're going to use for the kitchen this is the green velvet curtains that we want to
pick and this is Ocean View Beach is this blue so I don't know if it will show up on the camera but
they look really nice together honestly it was it was fantastic so thanks do you like to organizing
that and for supplying the paint and thanks to Wendy from good Interiors if you live locally you
should check her out she really helped us now we just need to go and confirm these curtains
I love this color I love it as well I think it's great and it's thanks to Dulux that we got the
interior designer and we got the paint so there was a little bit of low risk there because that
was supplying the paint but at the same time it still felt a bit daunting picking a bold color
that isn't just neutral that isn't white yeah and white like I have quite a negative connotation for
white because every place that we rented they were always painted black white which is just
like the whitest white paint that you can get and we couldn't put pictures on the walls yeah
had a very white you probably saw on the channel because I was in an apartment for the first couple
of years and it just represented not being able to personalize the space not being allowed to put up
paintings and then when we were in their lockdowns for four months I just sat on a couch and just
stared at a black white wall I think I have a trauma so it's okay I know no more White Walls but
I'm saying that when we first rolled it on it was really exciting because this finally felt like oh
we're personalized in the space this is our home we can paint how we want but then the next day I
came home and I thought what have we done it's too intense oh no it looks awful it's the wrong group
oh it's the wrong green it's the wrong blue what have we done we should have gone darker and then
the following day it's almost like the colors settled like in our minds because now I love it
yeah all right and briefly on the kitchen um I've decided to take your advice and I'm not doing the
mirror splashback I know I was the one pushing it so I'm I'm conceding that it's a bad idea
and maybe even the stainless steel is probably not the way to go mainly because of the price
um because I was told that if you go for the type of stainless steel that wraps over a substrate
you are relying on glue that is attached to that substrate and then if you put something hot on top
of the stainless steel it can activate the glue and then start popping and that's how you get
those poppy stainless steel bench tops and then if you get a real thick stainless steel bench
shop that doesn't glue down to something it costs like a million dollars oh yeah they cost when we
got a quote it was like eight grand oh no we're not doing that we're not doing that so yeah we're
sort of open to options with a bench top we've been trying to ring around our local area here
in Nelson but we're still there's still a question mark but it doesn't stop us building the cabinets
it's pretty much next so when you start in the kitchen
this week this week yeah really I hope so I'm still going to do these windows oh honey one
man renovation team at the moment yeah funny looking forward to having Ray back when we
have some money yeah same thanks for watching this exciting episode see you in the next one
[Music]
thank you
