If you put the first horizontal brace of the scaffold on sideways, on an upright, you can then let the tower lean and free stand until you get the other end clipped on. Useful if you're working alone. 💪💪
More Bruce content please... he's a star on the rise. I demolished part of the fireplace in my living room once, really should have attempted some dust suppression. My wife was not amused.
I had the same style chimney on my house. I just used an 5lb hammer to break the concrete apart and an angle grinder to cut the steel every 3 or 4 blocks. The blocks above the roof were all disintegrating and broke very easily. Below the roof level they were a bit more solid. 50 years in the elements must have taken their toll on it!
Your metal roof looks good and at least a few years old. Metal isn’t common in the NW (Oregon) of the US but replacing composition shingles every 12-15 years is common. Metal is 2-3x’s more here. Appreciate your vids.
What a beautifully done ruclips.net/user/postUgkxYGamVaHfdHiPlAQaLa7zkwR02OKpGYDU ! The instructions and the photographs are brilliant. It is thorough and genuinely informative. Ryan got another winner! No one does it better!
So so good SBC & Daniel. I can’t believe how everything can be demolished so easily! You make It look easy.😁 Jess your lunch looked impressive too. Very tasty 😎the view looks impressive too!
I have a scaffold similar to that. It's from the late 1960's or early 1970's. Doesn't have the ladder built into one end, just have to climb up the wide spaced tubes.
Hey Scott. I have the same set up for my tool belt for about 5 years now. it's pretty awesome but unfortunately really hot in late spring and summer. I ended up getting their other model Belt with shoulder straps all belt pockets fit in any of their other belts system also. Now I use the vest for winter and for interior finishing work. and the belt with shoulder straps for summer. Good to see you are enjoying this part of the country. Regards from Motueka. I hope to bump into you guys sometime. happy builds dude.
Pretty wicked looking tool vest/belt thingo. When you're ready to start at 0700 but need to 'bang in a job on a Terrorist Cell at 1830'. I like it, looks comfortable as. What a view from your house, very nice.
100 Companies responsible for 70% of global emissions but they don't want us heating with wood.... That Atlas46 saratoga vest is great, I have it, but I'd recommend getting a belt to transfer the addons to in the summer heat.
Weird. In Finland we have over 2 million fireplaces in our houses which produce 15 TWh energy annually. There has been talks 'bout particles in the air and health problems they cause atleast in high density areas, but.... Anyways, our houses and specially our SAUNAS WILL KEEP BE WARM!.......

So, water for the saw can also create a fine slurry which helps with cutting concrete. Too much water still helps with silica dust but doesn't help cut
I remember doing my our chimney some years ago just to get the chimney down pass the roof took about 3 days and then about 3 to 4 days to do the rest of the old open fire place out.
This is a good book. Does provide a step by step introduction to how to build things ruclips.net/user/postUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 , also does offer some steps. Includes pictures to give you ideas for layouts and such. If you are looking for a guide, this is not exactly what you want. But if you are trying to familiarize yourself with the way that pole barn building and other out buildings, are made, then this will work just as you need it to. A few things in this book are a barn (of course), detached garage, storage building, and coops.
If you don't object to the idiocy of drilling holes into the roofing, yeah. Most older builders and anyone that actually knows what they're doing would never drill into a galv roof for something so temporary as that. He's a fvcking cowboy
That belt vest thing is what I have always been wanting while ive been on a building site. My typical tool belt is in the way all the time, just want to be able to attach things on my chest.
I think that there has not been a push to ban fireplaces here in ths US, perhaps because they are seldom used and it would not go over well. Most who use wood or coal for heating use an enclosed stove. I think traditional fireplaces get used for social gatherings at christmas or when the power is out in a storm. They are banned in areas subject to forest fires though and stoves require spark arresters to be used.
I had a tree fall on my house, landed right on the chimney. The chimney broke into three large pieces. I had to brace up the chimney in order to break it up into tiny pieces. So a large heavy wouldn’t break through the floor if it fell. I have been using one of those Atlas46 vests for a few years now, I absolutely love it.
It's been so good to see you embrace the potential of zip poles but you should really look into an air scrubber. The amount of dust in your next video is insane! It's great you aren't breathing it in but the clean up must have been mad and you could have had so much better visability.
These style chimneys are always a breeze to remove until you get past the roofline. All the water and UV damage the mortar and concrete a lot, the stuff in the house itself is usually super hard and well preserved.
in California, after the '89 Loma Prieta Earthquake, I helped my folks remove the chimney. No visible signs of damage, just old a brick. First hit with my sledge and I discovered that it had cracked below the roof line and was completely cracked through! Replaced it with a clean-burner.
hey Scott, did you know you can get magnification lens to go in auto darkening welding helmets, they are like 20 bucks and can be handy instead of having to wear glasses, super easy to install too
Ive been in construction and real estate...i guess decades now in the south. Fireplaces have never been needed, and lately i have seen them omitted with the aesthetic resolved by installing something similar to a mantle on an otherwise naked piece of wall.
Welding aluminum downhill is often the easiest. Also it is often easy to not adjust heat, but only wire feed if you do mig welding. Cleanliness is also very important. If you want to weld aluminum you need to clean first, even if you already did it a few hours ago. Aluminum also warps easily compared to steel, and so you need to spread out the heat more to keep things flat and straight.
A certified aluminum welder once told me you need approx 3 times more amps on Tig welding aluminum compared to mild steel. If you're good at caulking you can understand welding much better. It's all about slow, steady movement with consistent pattern of building ripples. 10 cm of weld should normally take about 20 seconds on thinner steel plates. Also welds should not but up against each other, but overlap in order to create stronger welds with less weak spots.
You only need that amount of current to start with when you’re tig welding aluminium really, so a lot of guys use a foot pedal so they can reduce their heat input as you move along. If you use a button on the hand piece like I do you have to really increase your travel speed. Aluminium is really forgiving to weld as long as everything is clean, fitup isn’t as critical, welding stainless is much harder imo.
Standard narrow ‘3T’ scaffold tower that’s been used in the UK for decades. Just a point you built it wrong. First horizontal brace should clip to the vertical not horizontal, that way it won’t fall over before the first diagonal brace is added. Means it can also be erected by one person
Scott, give us some more details on the heat pump. Power consumption / efficiency, costs etc. I wonder what's gonna be the difference between your region and mine. (central Europe) Take care!😊
We have a Daikin high wall heat pump, which heats about a 70m2 room. 8.1kw heating with a COP of 4.1, 7.1kw cooling with an EER of 4. Pretty middle of the road performance, I think. It’s quiet and the after sales support is good at least. We have double glazing and good insulation (by NZ standards at least). The bedrooms in our house are warmed by panel heaters. One day I’d like to get a ducted heat pump system and a Mitsubishi lossnay (balanced pressure ventilation) unit, but that’s like $30k+. What are they like in Europe?
@@zeroyon4562 In Europe they mainly use oil radiators that all go into a boiler. The boiler also heats the water and they are either gas or electric. Most rooms have a radiator mounted on the wall.
I AM Lost, how is something you clearly didn't put up, at 5:06 you explained why, but in most house sales those things are grandfathered in. but this is the new world of dumbness and waste. good to see you took care of it. there wasn't any earthquake nocking that down.
Hey Scott, did you get an asbestos survey completed on the house before starting your Reno’s? You can find asbestos in a few locations within the old chimneys and fire places.
its only in the urban areas and ur still allowed them / to install them as long as they meet the requirements. drive a couple km outa town and you can have any fire u want
Since it has steel might it have been possible to hire a small crane to just lift it up and out in one piece. Then demo it in the driveway or rubbish bin?
Just let me know where I can apply to be SBC's apprentice and i'll take care of things like moving to nelson with the missus and two kids and selling my house. I'm pretty handy on an excavator and gasfitting if that's any use. Do alright as a hobbyist woodworker too. Thanks for the opportunity, Cheers mate
@@thecat6898 its not about bush fires, the town has a smog issue which is unhealthy for people so they are clamping down on it, fireplaces arent banned, you just need to install a clean burner (its a chimney mechanism that recaptures most of the smoke pollutants in a filter you replace occasionally)
@@XiaoYueMao Everything is more and more expensive. Gas costs each months more, electricity the same since it's mostly made with natural gas (thanks to who choose to not have nuclear...), you are not supposed to use wood, that is the only thing you can get almost for free (if you are in the countryside). I think more and more people in my country will go with a fireplace/wood stove and don't care about these regulations, since the alternative is not heating up the house because it's too expensive.
Did they Require you to Remove it? Just wondering, Perhaps could have Kept the Chimney and just not use it. Perhaps get a Gas Insert fireplace inside. Could have Reused the Chimney at least for the Venting.
Heat pump is the way to go. Just s thought: do your neighbors complain about the noise? What are the regulations regarding noise in living neighborhood?
at 8:00 you said "tension; compression and tension, concrete is strong in compression and steel is strong in tension". while technically partially true, it's not the main reason steel and concrete are combined: steel is practially as strong in tension as it is in compression. Concrete is only strong in compression. But the following reasons are why they go so well together: Concrete is way cheaper to use than steel; that's why, where possible, you use the concrete for the compression part. Steel is weak to heat where concrete isn't, same as with water; that's why the steel is always put several cm inside the concrete to protect the steel against rust and strenth loss in a fire. A huge part is also that concrete bonds to steel and that both have nearly identical thermal expansion coefficients. This means they expand and contract at the same rate in temperature differences and don't wrench apart like other paired materials would. Sorry for the pedantic rant; you were right that concrete is used for compression but steel works for both compression and tension.
You should have kept water going in the chimney and you for sure should have been wearing a good respirator, but at least an n95. That silicate is going to line your lungs
You floor doors in the scaffold are met to be one the each end and zig zagging up so you can't fall through to the bottom if the door are left open .But i will let you off because you can't stand up between them
As a European, removing a fireplace right now is anxiety inducing. Are New Zealanders not worried about fall out from global conflict and green energy nutcases making electricity a very expensive or even not available commodity?
New Zealand is already mostly renewable. 85% over average, 95% renewable tonight, with big investment now in more geothermal and wind. Wind here is 2-3 times more productive per turbine than in Europe because it’s very windy. Our natural gas market is also disconnected from the rest of the world. No pipelines or LNG facilities. So price shocks from Europe mean nothing. So no. Zero concerns about electricity supply

Wind here is 2-3 times more productive per turbine than in Europe because it’s very windy. Our natural gas market is also disconnected from the rest of the world. No pipelines or LNG facilities. So price shocks from Europe mean nothing.
So no. Zero concerns about electricity supply

Do you not use your chimney to vent your heat pump or do you have electric heat there ?
How did the battery demo saw/grinder do? Been looking to get one
The water does more than suppressing the dust. It also works as coolant and lubrication.
