What we found under a 150 year old kitchen floor?

Added: 2026-06-02

[00:00:00]Good morning. Pretty much a full house again today for most of the day. The undercoat should be finished on that side of the facade by kind of midday.

[00:00:10]Um, let's see how everyone's getting on.

[00:00:26]Heat.

[00:00:48]Heat.

[00:01:15]So that's well over half the floor out.

[00:01:18]And what are we left with? Bedrock.

[00:01:21]Bedrock. bedrock and more bedrock. So, I'm going to have to get a laser on this and see all these high spots of bedrock if they're a problem. If we can just take a little bit off. Hopefully, we don't have to take a huge amount off because this stuff is going to be really hard to get through.

[00:01:48]Now, we're just waiting on a few special fixings to be able to do the second layer and to be able to do the very top of the roof. Hopefully, they'll come early next week and we can continue.

[00:01:57]While he's waiting for them, he's going to make a start in the basement doing all the other ceilings in there, putting all the framework ready so we can pass the cables and we can get it plaster boarded.

[00:02:41]Heat. Heat.

[00:02:46]Heat. Heat.

[00:03:12]Get back.

[00:03:37]Think it's easier if you have a flag hanging out your mouth.

[00:03:48]>> Yeah. And an audio book about Viking history.

[00:04:29]Suppose in the morning he can tell us what flavor he wants. We can throw it up to him.

[00:04:34]much clean that's done up there.

[00:04:46]>> I'm going to work wonderfully.

[00:04:51]>> What's your cutting plan? Just to push it onto the flooring thing.

[00:05:16]NOT SURE THAT QUICKLY.

[00:05:32]SO, we had the window makers come around today. So, that's not the guys who are actually putting the windows in. It's people that are actually fabricating the windows. They've come in just to check that all the windows that they've sent are good. And if there's any little niggles, um mainly little bits of paint that have chipped and stuff, but we kind of decided that coming towards the end of the works, we'll then look at touching them up because undoubtedly between now and then, there's just going to be more and more. So, we'll do all them little niggles at the end. And I've just put in the next order for all the back windows, which is everything on this back side here. 10 windows and one, two, three doors. We discussed a little bit about time frame, and the thing that's going to hold us up the most is the doors take a lot longer to make than all the other stuff and all the windows.

[00:06:25]And I'm desperately pleading with them to try and get that time down because at the moment it's looking like if everything goes to plan, the doors on this side won't be put in till September. And that really kind of puts us behind. So if we can get them quicker, God, that'd be amazing.

[00:06:55]Hey, you know Hey.

[00:08:20]Yeah, ah.

[00:09:04]So, shaped up to be a bit of a muddle of a day. We've been here there having meetings and stuff. Basically, what me and Brian have been trying to do is just get ahead and help all the different contractors that are on site so that everything keeps going to plan. We've took a load of insulation up. We're getting a little bit ahead of the mason.

[00:09:24]So hopefully if we continue to do that work here is just going to go an incredible speed. So see you for more of it tomorrow.
