welcome back to the latest installment of the extension at 35 a
so here we are back at the extension the floors laid the block of beams in and
the guys have pitched up to do the brickwork a little scrape to get rid of
the snots the telescopic vents are now in place to keep the underfloor void dry
I don't know why we thought we needed quite that many now drop in those bricks
would not have been necessary if the strip foundation had been leveled so
there must be what they call a pig in it somewhere
now that's one sloppy mix which is just what you need if you're laying dry
blocks but to my mind it looks a little bit too strong
now if the shrinkage you want the mortar to give rather than the blocks to crack
and very few brick is use a different strength mortar for the blocks and for
the bricks they tend to run everything out of about say five to one or four to
one and actually with block work you can run to about six to one
those Chirac's blocks are great to lay the whole wall goes up in a day so that
your eyes towing in the perfect profiles now they're just right on the edge of
the brickwork really we should have got rid of that frame before we did that so
we could run the brickwork through but we didn't want to take that frame out
and leave them in the freezing cold in the middle of winter
that damn course will connect the floor membrane with the damn course in the
wall
then the snow King without a break Buffalo died in the fields of North
Dakota Rod Stewart
so sack off to keep the frost off they've been doing it that way for
centuries
why don't we always seem to be building in the winter builders with any sense or
on the beach in Thailand when the snows come down
if you think about state
Fox in solidarity
what you do is exit builder late Friday to be outside so the walls are up and
Duncan has delivered the stills true to his word all drilled and hopefully in
the right place now Steve is cutting a hole I'm dropping bricks on to my D wall
drill box that's how we used to test them yeah when they were 5 4 - what I
better off just having overhanging we can just birds it in anyway now we
wanted some joinery grade timber to make up the a-frame at the end so we could
drop the glass in but I wasn't sure that we were gonna get joinery great timber
that was pressure treated and I wasn't sure we needed it it was spent with a
stocky $10 one-to-five
well yeah where they asked him for treated battens and treat the rafters so
that's between rafters wall-plates 6 meters will play again they want to be
long but because they've got to stick out the end I'll tell me what the
overhanging we're working on six five six five
we hired a genie lift but really we should have hired two those are the kind
of links we went to in those days in order to save the customer a few quid so
1 steel beam balance the one genie lift
now we've got stop struggling really that's the point isn't it we're gonna
find ways of working which are easier because we're getting older yeah giving
you so much grunt you just rely on a brain take over yes inch and a half here
well I'm just if I bring this up level three and half inch if 3/4 of that said
behind either this has got to come forward which you can't
okay well that 7 foot 7 foot spa days
thirty-six it well each is down pretty front
Bobby yeah hang on he's gone
we come to watch the builders we're putting the map hang on just a minute
let it down see if it fits down Ervil said about it well want to chat in the
club it's gonna chat down just hop into the flight which is three zombie girls
of snakes 3:16 all right
