We had the same problem with our type 1 for our artificial lawn... about 70/30% large to small.. luckily we had to put sharp sand on top... But the type 1 was poor...
I had to take off a metal sheet roof last summer. I used a flexible metal blade in a reciprocating saw to cut the fixings between the sheet and the structure, which avoided the problem with access
also cuts down on the sparks.
I hear you... I've just finished a water feature that needed 3 tonnes of rockery stone, 2 tonnes of beach pebbles, and 1 tonne of 12mm aggregate. And about 3 tonnes of root ridden topsoil to be dug out. Amazing how the helpers disappear when there's that type of work to do!
I’ve had approx 50 tons of type 1 delivered loose on to my drive this summer and you are so right in what you say in that it’s as much a mental challenge as a physical one to spade and barrow it round the back where it was needed. Soul destroying work at times
5 ton a day easy, n that’s taking it slowly 👍
@@thedj5914 I didn’t have 10 days to do it, just a long weekend. The run from the pile was also uphill and about 40m each way
50t is one big pile to move by hand - well done!
I have a ride on lawn mower with a car hitch and small trailer from Halfords very handy around the garden..The garden is ¾ acre. Also use it for taking rubbish to the dump.....watching from Galway, Ireland
@@christinebeynon9967 work smart, not hard 😜👍
You want a little lawn tractor and trailer for moving stuff about. When I did my parents' driveway a few years ago I loaded a good 200-300kg at a time into a little trailer behind their lawnmower, then opened the tailgate slightly as I drove over the driveway to distribute it. Worked a treat. That was pea gravel rather than type 1 though so probably flows better.
Yes maybe an investment for next year
This is another awesome diy video. You are a hard working man and very self motivated!!!
I was surprised seeing you working in short britches removing/handling the sheet metal. I would have cut my legs up...lol
I am looking forward to part 2 of this project!
thx, tommy
Nice job Stuart, it should be okay for about 25years, I worked for British Steel fo 35 years on the production of galvanised steel and that was the guarantee British Steel gave.
You do have a lot of structures on your property that need so much repair and/or salvaging. Good thing, you seem to have a lot of time on your hands for these projects. Best of luck.
Yes, lots of work.
Bloody hell Stuart you certainly had a work out shifting that T1 well done fella
Subbed and ticked bell but wasn't notified. This was of interest though I really wanted to see it two of hacking through the brambles to the shed. Now I must go out into the 90F/35C and fix up my vine to the barn wall...
Great video. That tank you removed look like a good one for rainwater catchment, should it ever rain again in the UK.
Another great video - this outside work is a nice contrast to the really professional projects you do indoors.
Very much looking forward to part 2. Make sure you keep hydrated in this heat!
For demolition purposes nothing beats the angle grinder and reciprocating saw duo :)
Crowbar and a great lump of a hammer go a long way too 😂
@@SpartanMJO12 but let's ne honest - sometimes TNT and C4 are the ways to go
Agreed
I absolutely love watching your videos.Please do not take offence at my comments.
1. I think you are actually grinding, rather than cutting, the heads off the roofing fixings, so I would recommend grinding discs in case they shatter.
2. I work with cutting and grinding tools, and we have to wear a full face guard/shield when using them. We are shown horrible photos of people with shattered discs embedded in their faces to encourage us not to just wear goggles.
I love it when a video drops about a project you are just about to start yourself! Very much interested in thoughts on how to get the initial roofing sheet square, and also how to handle large sheets solo, with no assistant.
Keep watching - a week or 2
You're definitely on-brand today: hat, shirt and mug! 😀
It would be nice to see you building something to collect rainwater, as you mentioned the problem with the water supply.
Sure he said in another video he will be doing that though given the weather at the moment I don't think there is much of a need to rush as there is no rain about.
As C4sp3r says, the problem is no rain. I am currently using 1-1.5m3 of water a day. Even if I build a 3m2 tank that just lasts 2 days! Not worth the money if it doesn't rain much - if it does rain you don't need the watering system!
Another good project video Stuart. Looking forward to part 2.
I was doing something similar in the heat last week as well. My job was adding some corrugated PVC roofing to an open top wooden gazebo to stop birds using it as a perch & pooing all over my BBQ & other outside kitchen kit. It started out as a simple enough job but quickly got more complicated as I wanted to make it a sloping roof & add a gutter which required a lot more timber than I thought & working with restricted access on two sides. Hey ho. The back garden looked like a building site for a few days with just about every tool I own put into action but I got it done in the end. I'm now thinking about adding a rain water butt to the gutter down pipe. That's assuming we get some rain at some point ⛈.
great start
With the channel growing so much, and you tackling bigger jobs maybe some motorized gear is needed, small digger/lifter to help you move stuff through the paddock.
Always impressed by your work ethic. You're really good at maintaining attention and focus on these really monotonous projects!
Thank you very much!
More back-breaking work Stuart and hot too. Phew! I almost broke out in a sweat watching you. Still, looking forward to part two.
Can really empathise with you moving that type 2. Last year I had to barrow 5 bulk bags of shingle over 50m and then this year I did 4 bags of limestone chippings. Back breaking!
I have a sloping garden with some steps so had to build a ramp from a recycled kitchen worktop... but seems you might just be ale to use one of those motorised wheelbarrows. I wish I could!
Good job Stuart... you're some man, hopefully all that lifting and shifting keeps you fit and well 👍
That ibc would be good for rain water storage
What line of work were you in before starting your channel? Because unlike me you are a real Jack of all trades, and a master of them all. Awesome!
I believe he was a Civil Engineer :)
Yes, Civil Engineer in construction - I'm easy to find on LinkedIn
To me there didn't look to be enough fines in the MOT as you know that's grit dust to help with the binding and tightening up of the material.
You can always blind it over with grit sand.
Not telling you how to do it, but I've had that problem in the past on drive way jobs
Top tip for broken glass thats contained, use duct tape to hold it in place.
Splendid effort, well done!
Hot works procedure... love it! Do you follow any lone working procedures? :)
I'm afraid not, it was always in our procedures but no one took any notice of it
I would have gone along either sides of the wooden structures from underneath with a resip saw but that's just me.
Not saying your way was wrong.
I do enjoy your vids.
Hi Stewart, anothef great looking video, I will chech the disc speed next time I use my grinder, now I thought you would have had a dust mask as well as goggles, take card and keep safe, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia
Bet you wish your worn a dust mask and goggle's for working underneath that roof 😉 maybe a hard hat too.
It reminds of those well known Gilbert and Sullivan lines regarding Mad Dogs and Englishmen going out in the mid day sun . Keep it up they are always interesting
Noel Coward!
That wasn't Gilbert and Sullivan (I'm a fan 😳)
Noel Coward - exactly
@@ProperDIY Musical Education as well
You are going to build some muscles with this job!
did you have a chat with the supplier about the type 1? If so, what was their response?
Maybe blinding it with couple of bags of cement might make a better surface finish ? Also I was choking for you breathing that old dust and debris why no decent dust mask and goggles? Enjoyable video though?👍
Looks like you could def do with a motorized barrow with tipper function.
Maybe if I want to spend a large some of cash
@@ProperDIY I know they can be expensive these days. I remember in my very 1st job as a YTS gardener we had one where the engine part could be separated from the barrow and you could use it as a rotavator
I had to move a bag of this earlier this year, it was cooler, but I did also have a toddler sitting on top of every load back and forth 😅
If only the scouts still did “Bob a Job”!
Mate, you need to ask Santa for a tractor!
Crazy type one but the excuse I got was it’s the quarries problem that’s as it comes I changed my supplier ,who delivered it on a tipper and it was fantastic compacted easily there wasn’t much of it just 11 ton which we spread by hand (4 of us)
My heart goes out to you Stuart when your on your Jack and you’ve got a distance to go with a barrow ,mechanisation Stuart that’s what
you need for your plot now or there’ll be no more vids keep hydrated cool back pack is great little straw attached drink without breaking off stay cool great vid 👍👨🏻🏭
You need a gorilla cart which has 4 wheels. Is a gorilla cart available in the UK like at Amazon uk website to help you?
i so totally feel your pain on this. Removing the roof sheets was obviously a special Hell. Also, I'm unfamiliar with "Type 1" (aggregate? -- don't know what else to call that). Anyway, that slow and low flow of water from the hose must have been annoying. I wouldn't want a blast of water, but that wimpy stream was vexing to watch. Looking forward to the new roof!
Phew that looks like hot work! Hose on your head never mind the Type1!!!
Why do you wet it? To reduce dust? Or to help it bond?
You wet it to help it bond and compact together
Excellent video. Thank you.
Thanks
Excellent as always , can’t wait for the next part of this project 👍
Thanks 👍
An hour a ton for sub base is good going in that heat, fair play to you. Getting the stuff out of those bags can be frustrating and saps your energy especially when it gets towards the bottom.
A micro shovel is great for this sort of job or if you can, spread a sheet and a few boards on top and have the delivery driver hold the bag up and use a stanley knife to cut it open and deposit the contents of the bag on the boards - makes shovelling it so much easier.
Yes, easy when you start with a full bag - a pain once its over half empty!
Looks a great project Stuart. I do hope you have got the planning side of things sorted though, such as a Lawful Development Certificate for that store. In general things like barns, stables and stores do need planning consent when the land is below a certain size as there are no permitted development rights then. Good luck anyway!
Stuart is an ex civil engineer, council planner and conservative MP. He knows his stuff.
What would you suggest the best idea for replacing a garage roof. With metal purlins. Thank you.
see you got all the merch on mate🤣🤣 great video as allways, rather you than me in this heat & im a chef.
Thanks
Great video....thanks !!
Glad you liked it!
Great video! Can't wait for the next instalment. Just wondering how the angle grinder held up? Any recharges?
Love these videos mate👍 looking forward to Part 2
Thanks Jeff
“A false feeling of achievement “ 😂
If you had a ride on mower for the paddock area you would be flying especially with that wee tow behind trolly.
Is this the fabled barn in the brush that you have been trying to get to? Or is it another structure? Hope I haven't missed the finally entering the hidden barn video!
Agreed. That's what I'm here for -- to see how he tackles the dangling brambles.
It's another structure
@@ProperDIY can’t wait for the video showing the hidden barn. You are certainly keeping us all in suspense.
Great video by the way, as always 👍
Good sir, would you be kinder on your spine by not twisting as you shovel? I generally stand with the barrow behind me, remaining in an upright stance, and move the shovel only , flinging the material comfortably into the barrow.
A great job, all done in scorching weather. The walls of that shed don’t look too good either.
Far more control demolition than mine would have been. Sledge hammer! LOL
How about a video of you having words with the MOT suppliers. That would be interesting
I was surprisedtherewas no obvious reference to hearing and eye protection cutting wriggly tin it very noisy
Never ends, huh? Just demolished my wooden deck. What's next wife? 🤔 😆 🤣
We’re there any mouse droppings in the rubbish falling on your head? Kudos for powering through a grunt job in the heat! Smart to take a lot of smaller loads.
I would have had a hard hat and mask on for that job!
I liked the action shots of you throwing the tin sheets off and piling on the type 1 and landing on the camera. Hope the missus wasn't holding the camera at the time ;-)
It was OK, I gave her a hard hat and gloves
Funnily it is often difficult to get a good type 1 that you know is the correct mix...
Are you sure that aggregate was Type 1 and not scalpings?
It does not look right.
I paid for Type 1
Given the distances you are moving lots of great, I recommend you get a second hand lawn tractor and fit a tow bar to the back..As soon as you can pull a trailer you'll avoid using a wheel barrow as much as possible.
Great video as always.
Was about to comment the same - we have a tipper trailer on our ride on and have shifted tons and tons of type 1 and gravel and soil with it. The trailer is so handy for all sorts of jobs.
I'm sure I have memories of him having a four-wheel vehicle that should be able to pull a trailer, might have been imagining it though..
I have one as well also a small tip trailer, although a small car trailer would work as well. With that large plot you have Stewart, you will be using it all the time.
Great video!
Will you be keeping the rotivator/lawnmower thingy?
If you mean the lawn mower/scarifier I suspect he'll still be clinging on to it in his coffin. (A rotivator actually chops the soil up for planting.)
@@stephen-boddy Thanks I was referring to the old one that was dragged out of the shed in the first outing. Pretty certain Machinery Restorer refurbished one that was identical. Possibly was used to cut the paddock rather than striping a lawn!
I wasn't planning on keeping it - it's like an old rotary lawnmower
@@timstinson1 Ah, sorry. Thought you were talking about his new baby... I mean Kensington. I must have missed the other thing.
hard work but well done
Thanks
From my experience, Travis Perkins have always had the worst Type 1. As soon as I saw the bag, I was gritting my teeth. Always had a lack of fines, which as you've experienced, made it virtually impossible to compact. As I'm sure you know, some grano dust will do the trick in this instance.
I love a spot of demolition!
Good work boy
Eye Protection!!
Another one for DIYers who buy a pack of abrasive discs and then don't use them for ages. They have a use by date stamped in the middle.
What, really? Are they made out of bread?
@@AlbionSupreme No the glue can degrade over time and then the disc can delaminate. There is quite a lot to angle grinder safety. Suggest watching the Ultimate Handyman's video about it.
@@Paul-XCIV2 exactly, that could easily cause them to explode when being used, my number hate is when people take guards off the grinders too i know someone who was injured by a disk accident and they wasn't even using the machine they was just standing close by also if a disk is dropped that'll weaken it too so if a disk is dropped from any height it should not be used.
@@jason-km1wi Agree. Should also be discarded if the discs are in the slightest damaged or get wet. Running without the guard is asking for trouble...
I got discs from 23 years ago and there still good
Where are your safety glasses? If not a usual pratice, certainly one should wear eye protection whenever working above your head. To quote, Norm Abrams, Remember to wear safety glasses. 🤭
When is part 2 being put on
Fri 23rd
Work in progress as we say 😅
Another interesting video - I am sure you were very confident the electrics were dead and not connected but would have been sensible to add a bit more of a warning to the video for people to check and be 100% sure before cutting wires - you don't usually get a second chance. With the video aimed at DIY'ers it is all the more important.
Have you made it into the other shed yet? You have been keeping us on the edge of our seat for a good while.
Great content and production quality as ever!
Stuart, surely when it comes to moving material, the debt owed by loaning your cement mixer should have been called in 🤣
Did you hot works permits allow working from ladders, I thought they were for access only? You should look in to getting yourself a Monkey Tower. I did, and the purchase paid for itself in no time at all.
That was one hellaciously inconsistent bag of material. I hope they disclosed that up front.
Think you need a tractor Stuart.
Demolition man! )
Looking forward to Part II Love these videos mate 👍
Thanks
Yep
I’d have taken a sheet off either side, & reciped the timber & let the roof drop. Deal with on the ground.
👍👍👍
There's no way I'd half fill a wheel barrow
Get a ride on mower and a trailer. Life Saver!
Someone else having the same experience with a certain supplier (initials TP) as I usually have. *sighs*
Thanks Stuart, so, on day 1, why werent you wearing safety glasses when all that awful debris was coming down? My hubby says he wishes he was there to help you……so sorry youre having to do it in that awful heat you are having…..i hear some places have had really high temps there. Please take care and please keep hydrated. Much love from South Africa
Attaboy.Kik Ass re type 1. Had the same problem masel. Ordered T1 supplied with T1 allegedly. Didnae work. After a wee blaw oot wae the building supplier i got another bag free gratis. You can get wee powered dump trucks (hire) that takes all the pain out of transporting the stuff across aw humps and bumps.. Well done wae the roof.Lookn furrit to the next one. Later👍
Thanks William. I somehow understood everything - my name isn't Stuart Ian for nothing!
