hey Mike it's got around here how's it going thanks Carl of the channel let's catch up sometime
if you want to have a look at some healthy gear okay that's great I guess Hilti watch the videos
then I'm here briefly and I'm here for one reason and one reason only to pick up an asbestos sample
nails well I hope it's not an asbestos sample this is what we do when we come across a specialist on
a job we take a little portion of it in this case it's this vinyl flooring here and put it in here
and then I take this little sample to be tested let's go do that one of the ladies next door of
this shop saw me looking for a parking offered to let me park here very kind very kind now that
I have the sample I take it to a place in Penrose and they do like a same-day testing oh this place
is still busy look he's double-parked at the puck a decent distance away if you're in Oakland and
you want to get stuff tested I'll put a link to this place usually by the end of the day you have
a result so by the end of the zip so we'll know if this is asbestos or not okay thank you all right
they're taking precautions as well we would know by the end of the zip so whether it's suspicious
on now right now I've got to prepare for two things a job and Ponsonby and a potential lockdown
hey you're healthy yeah yeah yeah healthy as far as I know absolutely this is like a safety store
they have hand sanitizer and wipes so I'm picking up wipes but they don't have any hand sanitizer
left so you so down to the hand sanitizer quicker all right doomsday creeping continues no hand
sanitizer I already have some but I wanted to get a little bit more because the thing that's going
on is panic buying and that sort of induces panic buying I like to think of myself as a relatively
normal person but when the crazy people go in there and fill up their trolleys with toilet
paper then you start thinking oh well what if I can't buy any when I go in and then use that
panic button so thing that's what's happening like she was saying that some people will buy
let 70 bottles now the job is in Ponsonby and we're planning to rip apart three bedrooms I
talked to the owner last night and that's dropped down to two bedrooms now with everything that's
going on and we're pretty much playing everything by ear the job could stop at any moment depending
on what happens with the news and everything so I'm going to set up a dust barrier that's a she
making them feel a lot better because we've separated the work area from their living
area so I'm gonna go back to the container now and make sure this dust barrier is ready
so I struggled to find this zip ward open I'll put a link below and for anyone in Auckland that wants
to get some dinner so these are the poles you get a little pad there no look there's nothing on the
bottom I guess that just goes hard on the ground the idea is that you loosen that and then get up
to the height you want wow that's pretty hot China yeah you see that so if you don't know or what I
don't know if I'm doing here it's basically a way of holding plastic ceiling-to-floor so the
props just pin it to the ceiling and pin it to the floor without you know putting nails or screws in
there so that's a 3 meter stud but house that we're going to be working on the status three
point three so that's about as tall as it can possibly go all right so pretty much 50ml short
60 mil short so I've got an idea now I've got this post here that I've had for at least six months I
had it for a job but we didn't end up using it so what better way to use it than to just put
this on the ground put the props on top of it and then it will kind of help weigh down the plastic
as well and then to hold the plastic flared at the top I'm going to cut some of this ply
all right time to use that vacuum thing again so you just plug that in there make sure that's
on order Chris and hold flashing green that's over one person hold flashing green should work
okay slightly rounded edges so it doesn't split the plastic and now I need to put some sort of
like anti slip tape on it because the holes these are gonna go into the timber but the
timber is gonna be on the plastic you won't have this rubber tape anymore I only go grab that now
well that was quick spits this test results are already here let's go around carpentry we have
asbestos analysis Chris so tile white asbestos yeah so that tiny amount of vinyl flooring in
that kitchen has asbestos in it that's a bit of a bummer I own a business and I have to do it
like the proper full-on way which I'm not an asbestos removal person I don't have all the
gear so that's when I get a subcontractor in no matter the quantity even though this is only a
small area they have to get an assessment by a asbestos Assessor and that's like 1,400 dollars
just for that and then they have to set everything up to WorkSafe guidelines and remove it and the
whole thing would be somewhere between three and four thousand dollars and the other option is you
lever there and you make note for a future buyer or future resident there's suspicious
under the kitchen cabinets and according to him that's perfectly fine you're allowed to do that
so I better double-check on that and put both options to the owner and we'll see what happens
I just charge on the battery so this job tomorrow and I'm gonna go grab some more materials speaking
of asbestos I remember being in Edinburgh and that to remove a ton of it in this building that will
work out and I was a little bit nervous about it because I I've recently learned about the
spell somewhat I can do so the ease my mind and to ease the mind of the guys I was working with the
manager took us next door and walked us through the asbestos removal area and you you had to go
for about six different doors and they're all kind of zip or plastic doors until you finally
got into the area where they were removing the stuff and they had a that a negative air
pressure fan that was just extracting constantly and then downstairs they had this big steel walk
and burn that was sealed when you shut the doors and all the all the specials would go on there
all right we're at level 3 level 4 and 48 hours that means lockdown literally just came through
now so that job is not happening I'm closing up time to go home this is a very weird feeling
my friends going crazy Oh suddenly asbestos doesn't matter anymore all right I'm going
home and I hope you guys are safe I know in other countries you guys already have
the stage so you'll know all about it gets down here in New Zealand we
don't think of ourselves as exposed to these kind of things which is a little
bit naive evidently hey I'll see you guys in the next hottie hipster okay
