Think it would be worth renting a ladder hoist to get those blocks up onto the first lift. Cheap to hire and compact enough to get into the back garden. I agree with Nick about the bump cap. Hard hats are cheap as well, but 'stick up' a lot making it MORE likely you'd whack your head. The hat would protect your head, but, speaking from experience, it does nothing to protect your neck from the sudden unexpected shock. Keep up the good work, and thanks for sharing. :)

A lot done since the last update! You could use that nook for the toilet reservoir? To knock the inner wall out where you cannot get in with the grinder you could use a long drill bit and drill a row of holes right against the cut, so the holes do line up with that wall on the inside. Then it's easier to knock the wall out without knocking everything loose.

Instead of trying to fit a ledger board where the old window was , cut pockets out at 400 centres and pigeon hole the joist, that way you aren't trying to get a fixing into an uneven surface and where the pockets land chain drill the brick far enough back to get a good bearing for the joist and hopefully that way you won't disturb the plaster on the inside.

@@freetolook3727 Very unlikely to be carpenter bees in Gosforth. There are a couple of European species, but only the violet carpenter bee Xylocopa violacea (the largest!) occurs in the UK, and it's only started to arrive from France in the last few years due to climate change. In any case, carpenter bees are solitary - they may occur in colonies where there is suitable habitat like dead wood to bore into, but they don't form nests like social bees (honey bees & bumble bees). From the size, this looks like a bumblebee nest - they never have more than about 200 workers, usually fewer. Honey bees form typical honeycomb, and their nests can be much larger and sometimes are reused over years. My family had an old house in Kent where honey bees nested in a disused chimney. After many years, so much honey accumulated that it began to ooze through the walls, a horrible sticky goo mixed with soot!

28:28 You could cut horizontal parallel grooves at the depth you need and then chisel out the soldier course and tiles to the required depth. So cut into the bricks from the front, left to right, start from the top and then every 2 cm or so cut another groove, it doesn't have to be precise as long as you go deep enough and make plenty of cuts to hog away most of the material. Cut a centerline into the front edge of the tiles, so you can easily chisel the front ridge off without risking too much unwanted damage. The result may be somewhat rough. Then render the area where the plate has to go to the right thickness, that also keeps the brickwork (the inside half of the soldier course etc) together nicely and fills any cavities.

You did say that they where bumble bees didn't you and I'm sure that when the nest was removed the bees had already left. You did say that didn't you I'm sure you did leave it till the nest was finished with because you know it's illegal to destroy a bees nest whilst it's occupied as far as I'm aware. Coming on great mate.

@@GosforthHandyman yes bumble bees leave the nest each year unlike honey bees and wasps. May be an idea to cover your back on the next video to state the bees nest was empty cos you know what some of these tree huggers are like. 😏😏😏

@@TheFool2cool Ask your local council and pest removal to kill or relocate bumble bee nests and they will refuse as they cause no issues unlike wasps. Bumble bees tend not to act aggressively and naturally move on at the end of their cycle so pest control will not tend to relocate them unless they cause a stinging issue. Honey bees are also protected however they can be relocated as they will inhabit and create hives. An elderly couple had bumble bees in their soffit and they where informed that the pest removal where not allowed to touch them due to them being protected due to bee declines. You may wish to check it out before telling others to plod on with killing or removing them.

Wear a hard hat when under the scaffold. It’s protocol on building sites. Set an example in your videos instead of moaning how often you’ve banged your head on it.
