hi guys Oh clearing out an old dick can be it could be a lot of work but we managed to
we may just get rid of everything that was in our way and we just finished putting in the
new foundation all right today's the day where we dig the holes we've got this little one-man
postal boy here drills 200 millimeter holes and then we just clear out the rest of the hole with
a spade I'm gonna get a spray paint we're gonna mark everything out we're gonna cut some profiles
kind of got all our framing delivered for the dick and we had to put it across the driveway
and on the footpath because of these because of these power lines here it is drooping down
kind of like tile and powder Hey so we just better dump it there and carry it down okay
porch gone weed some Remo joists in here as well that we've put under the house
that's your foundation this is pretty typical of an old house in New Zealand
timber stick a little block cut so it's not just on the end grain and then on top
of a concrete block this usually cemented into the ground it's not very earth quake proof but
we don't have that many earthquakes in Auckland so hopefully it's fine
there was a little funny is trying to move its left side to strive break besides they have one
man Purcell words ridiculous we cut all the path out for our holes or at least we cut
the path where we wanted our holes now we're just gonna dig the remainer not too many over
chef Pardo at it again doesn't matter the place doesn't matter the time shift putters
shift Pardo always chapada always manages to whip up a gourmet feast bit of Salman what
is that I never cut it some brown rice brown rice cuz I'm gonna blame you - of soy sauce
another healthy feast don't just like that I've actually had a few questions about why we set
out timber in the concrete so in this case we're building a deck and that potion last as long if
not longer then the dick that we're building on top of it so when someone comes in the future
to demolish it it is a little bit harder they have to pull the post down put new person which
is exactly what we did here and the only reason we took the old dick out it wasn't because it
was wobbling on old posts it was because the entire dick had pretty much run its course you
could argue that you know if we did a concrete base with a steel anchor and then put the post
on top of there it would be easier in 30 years time for them to replace it but in New Zealand
our timber is so heavily treated that I've used galvanized screws and bolts and in our
treated timber and that those bolts and screws have corroded because of the treatment so it's
pretty much stainless steel everything now but that comes with a price prefer to just
pay the cost of the timber post and the ground holding the dig well so we're gonna leave that
for about a day the concrete sit properly in the next episode we will frame this dick sorry
