Speaker A
Got to get the wagon and get a machine down there. I think I'm going to take a little Kubota, get the pecker down there because we need to sort this yard out. Last week, it hammered it down for about two
Speaker A
days on and off. But the workshop in the new yard flooded like really badly. And, well, no, it's not really badly, but it's just annoying that every time you want to try and fix anything, we get all this water coming in every time it
Speaker A
rains. So, I say that's enough. Let's get it sorted. Right. You what we're doing first? Need to get this tractor with a load of scrap trailer. Going to go back down to the yard, get there's some old doors that we took off because we
Speaker A
had some new roller. Get them on there. Some other bits of scrap. Get that to the scrap yard. Then go back to the yard. Get a load of old wood and everything.
Speaker A
Pick that up. Bring that back up to the farm here. Get the truck. That's in me eyes. They are there's a load of stone that's on it. We had to put on it for the mote. Tip that off. Put the B
Speaker A
pagoda Kubota on and get the Pekka and get back down to the yard. Get unloaded.
Speaker A
Let's get this truck out of way and get that tractor. See if it fires up.
Speaker A
Right. Stroke done. Let's all this old girl starts. Got a few starter motor issues with this thing. Need a new one for it. Come on, girl. Come on, girl. Come on, girl. Come on, girl.
Speaker A
Yeah. Nope. Good old Spanish shorting starter out. Go. We're driving now. Love driving the tractor. Love it.
Speaker A
Well, yesterday didn't go too well. Managed to get loaded up. Got the Kubota on and we got rid of the scrap and got rid of the wood out the yard.
Speaker A
Didn't really film it because it's not very interesting. But the truck had a few problems. Say a few, I mean one biggest one. The exhaust on the truck comes out later, but there's a massive huge silencer there.
Speaker A
And if you can see in there, this is the pipe that comes out the engine and it comes down underneath there into the silencer, but there's a big flexi there. You might not be able to see it, but just about there. There's a
Speaker A
big hole in it and it's all split. Crack it up. I'll let you hear it. Sounds nice, but not that nice to be driving around with.
Speaker A
What is it? Oh, sounds beefy. Obviously can't take out road. Well, we could, but I didn't want to, so got a new one. Picked a new one up yesterday and just going to put that on now before we go down. And then we got another job
Speaker A
to do that went to look at yesterday that we're going to do before we take the machine down to the yard. It's all go all go. Just squirted a lot of WD on it because anyone who knows anything about exhaust
Speaker A
knows that they're horrendously bad to get off. But these clips look fairly new. So, I'm hoping not going to be too bad.
Speaker A
Also, if you want a good tool kit, these we get from Tang and we have them in every single van. They are an absolute lifesaver. All the sockets, ratchet, couple of spanners, some more sockets and screwdrivers, but I've got my Allen bits that I need.
Speaker A
I think they're about a hundred quid, but gets you out the crap all the time.
Speaker A
Brilliant. Brilliant kit. Right. We're going to need we're going to need a big Allen key on this. I think it's going to be this one. I think I hope it's not going to be that one. That's too big. It's going to be this one.
Speaker A
Let's try it. Let's try it. Oh yes. There's the adapter. There's the adapter. There's the adapter.
Speaker A
Just hoping that these come off else. We haven't got much in the way of tools to do it.
Speaker A
Oh, yes. Yes. Yes. That's the easiest one. That looks fairly new. Just hoping I can get that new flex in.
Speaker A
Looks tight in there. You can tell winter's here because it's getting cold. Sun's out, but I go put my jumper on.
Speaker A
So, I think I can do that by hand. I need to open it up. So, we're going to open that up with an arm.
Speaker A
Have to open it up a bit more. Have to totally open it up. Get that bolt out.
Speaker A
That's one off. There's the other one. Oh, it's right down in there. It's going to be a nightmare to do that one.
Speaker A
More room. Get me end down there. Yeah, I'm not the man down there. And now we're going to get into that one.
Speaker A
That might be take extension bar off. Nope. Damn, damn. Damn, damn. Haven't got any adapters.
Speaker A
Put a swivel on it. And a swivel on it. See if that'll work. Oh, can't even get it on.
Speaker A
Um, managed to knock it on. Just put a lot of extension bars through there, but I just can't get my arm deep enough in there to do it. So, I think have to take this thing off. And lucky
Speaker A
enough, in the tool kit, we do have a star drive. I've just knocked on the adapter. I'm not to take that off. Just leave the Allen key on. Yes.
Speaker A
That on there. That on there. These should come off. All right. Right. Smart idea. Volvo. Put a bolt right behind the light.
Speaker A
That should get me end down there now. Looks a bit different with that off. I think now.
Speaker A
Oh yeah. That'll go on there. Oh, that's tight. Can I turn it? Oh, very tight.
Speaker A
Very, very tight. Let's go in. Wants a bit of that. WD gets in there.
Speaker A
Yeah, that's got it. Don't want to get me hand stuck somewhere on me. My phone ringing off is up. See, I've got my hand stuck. Oh, damn.
Speaker A
Got my hand stuck. Bolts out. Oh, this bracket come off. Give it a tap. If in doubt, give it a clout.
Speaker A
I don't want to come off. I don't want to break it because I ain't got another. Yes. Yes. Got it. We've got it. We've got it. Softly, softly, monkey.
Speaker A
There we go. So, that's what it's done. It's just corroded with the heat time and that collar broken off.
Speaker A
These them big big clips, big exhaust clamps that clamp it on. Right, we need to get this new one. And here's this old clamp. I wonder if it's directional.
Speaker A
Am I overthinking it? I don't think it is. I meant these only plates. Think we're going to need it as small as possible to get in there.
Speaker A
I don't think it is directional, so we'll just put it back on. I'm hoping it's going to fit in.
Speaker A
I don't think it is going to fit in. It's a mile out. It's probably about an inch out. No, this might be turning into a bigger job than I thought. Oh. Oh.
Speaker A
Yes. Oh boy. How did I do that mental? I didn't think that was going to be so easy.
Speaker A
I could do a changing. I think that bit easier to get next time. I'll need that one now.
Speaker A
Just want to check and make sure the band is on. Just trying to get this bottom one on so that it's tight because it got a bit of a gap at the top that I need to twist it.
Speaker A
Also, I don't want to tighten this band up too much in case it breaks, but looks in good nick.
Speaker A
That's a killer on the forearms. At least on these trucks, like when you're working on this exhaust, there's a bit more room than working on the vans.
Speaker A
If you were doing a van exhaust on your bonnet, you'd be racking your knuckles on all the engine components.
Speaker A
But if you got a bit more room with these truck exhausts, I'm going to say that's somewhere near that. Now to get the get the exhaust to where I want it. There's a big gap.
Speaker A
There's a big gap. I may just tap that in, I think. Or not. Oh, yeah. That do like that. It's going.
Speaker A
That's it. I need springing back. That means clamp on it now. Oh, got it on. Got it on. Got it on. Got it on.
Speaker A
Think it's going. Let's start that. There's where to tell. Let's fire it up. Success.
Speaker A
Not blowing any anywhere out of any these joints. Beautiful. Beautiful. Right. Oh, front cover back on that box.
Speaker A
I'll change me a bit. There go there. Get the top one in. Hold it in place.
Speaker A
Oh, is that There it is. That is chuck exhaust about done. Good job. Good job, Phil. Good job.
Speaker A
Right. Always get packed up and get down to this next job. Here we are. Townley Park in Burnley. Just dropped Chuck off.
Speaker A
Show you this first. So, we've been working down here on this arch. This is I don't I think it's the old entrance way into town hall. And this was the pedestrian entrance in.
Speaker A
We've just last week carved up some new jars for this entrance way on either side. The old ones had some iron cramps in there and they all rusted, delaminated, and it was k
Speaker A
everything above it. So, we made a foam work to go in the middle of the arch, dropped it and changed them out. Mark called them the other week in the yard.
Speaker A
Malcolm's just doing some storm repair. The seat's heavily delaminated everywhere. We've lamb grouted all the mainstream work, stabilized it. We've done a bit of L point up there. We just got to finish that off. And we're just tooling in and making some stone repair
Speaker A
to the actual arch section. All this was, I say, heavily corroded and it still is. We've just feathered in obviously to create some weathering. New indent in there because all that was lost in a major way. Look at them.
Speaker A
Sexy. All pointed up again. New indent. It murded it on the other side actually. So yeah. And we're just going to defrassen.
Speaker A
Make sure we just get rid of all the loose material off here. And some of these we're going to inject with a resin like that one there where it's cracked.
Speaker A
We're going to inject some resin in it just to stabilize it. Same on here. And we might end up putting some like we've got some 1 and 12 mil carbon fiber pins.
Speaker A
So we might put some pins in it as well. So we've been on with that for the last couple of week.
Speaker A
Check out new van as well. It's writing. Let me know in the comments if you like it. That's down at Ironbridge. Don't know who that is, but black and white whited the photograph and then sat it back. We've never really
Speaker A
bothered having the vans sign written. It's not something we kind of bothered about cuz we don't need to advertise for the work or anything, but we just thought it looks better when they're on site. So, we are going to do it now. And
Speaker A
what we're going to do like that photograph there, we're going to do like all the nice iconic buildings that we work on. Going to make a black and white photo of it. So, each van's going to be different. It's all going to have it own
Speaker A
little kind of project on if you will, which I think's smart. I hope you agree.
Speaker A
Comment if you do. Uh, next problem is this big hole in the wall. So, we have just come here over the weekend. Someone decided to drive down or it's Parliament Street and then crash into this wall and they must have hit it at a right rate of
Speaker A
knots because all this masonry was spewed out all the way down here. So, we're going to rebuild it. While we're here doing the other bit, brought the machine down. We need to move these cings there. There's one there. There's
Speaker A
a couple down in here. And then there's a couple on that side on that little flank wall there. We're going to dismantle all that because it's wobbling and it's all unstable. I'm also going to take two copings off here and 45 this
Speaker A
top end down as well. So yeah, we'll get this machine off and get these copings off. Could you have found a long go longer longer strapping company that Bang a piece of stone under one side so we can get strapped back out.
Speaker A
Hey, we got a big machine here, don't we? You got a bad shoulder anyway, Sean. You don't want to be I was just thinking that you don't want to be overdoing it, do you? Have you got a sewing man?
Speaker A
I'm so want to chop that tree down. Get rid of it out. I just fish them out with these ones with bucket D, I reckon.
Speaker A
Bumper's still in there. I wonder if um if we better off throwing a strap around it and trying to pull up root system out as well.
Speaker A
Yeah, it'll stop it growing back. It'll never grow back then, will it? Wall's coming down anyway.
Speaker A
It's taking it won't pull that out. It won't pull it out. No. Well, just try um just try wrapping it round a few times and then double it back on itself.
Speaker A
Slide in it. My bad. You'll get just wrap it around that end bit. Yeah, you'll be all right there.
Speaker A
All right. Yeah, just about enough reach on this machine to get up that far away. Not tracking all over this storm.
Speaker A
We'll just wait now and make sure lads are out there before we take it off.
Speaker A
Make sure no pedestrians are coming down straight. We might just want to label the get some chalk on these cuz we know which way where they are, don't we?
Speaker A
One and two or whatever. All right, Dave. Where you Ah, 16 plate. Easy as that. Easy as that. Right.
Speaker A
That's it. We're done here. So, yard machine's off. Just dumped it down there for now. We see all these orange X's everywhere. What we've done is we've dipped with the dumpy level all the levels around here. And I'm thinking I
Speaker A
need to have a look at the information we've got off it, but this area is higher than that area in there. So basically when it rains, everything just runs in through this corner down into workshop and basically floods down there
Speaker A
and all this is high. So what I'm thinking, we did it in the old yard.
Speaker A
We'll cut back about 2 m of concrete to about there somewhere. We'll put some channels down and then we'll just slope everything down to there. We'll put some gullies in as well. That's for later.
Speaker A
Um, busy day. Busy day. What we doing now? Need to get rid of some of this crap out this yard. We're just accumulating. Look at it. Stuff everywhere. So, we seem to have a lot of tip skip. I'm going to get rid of them
Speaker A
two. I think them two tip skips. Some sillages and some other whatever else I can fit on.
Speaker A
Come on. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Hey, that's it. We've landed back. Took back. That's done. This week is just getting worse and worse. I've just been office now. We just just won another job last back in w must have been like March
Speaker A
times and yeah we've won it. So we've just won like a load of work over the last couple of weeks and I mean a lot.
Speaker A
We've got one job up at um the burnt out church just passing that needs to be back for Friday. So I've got an absolute ball work to do on that. Really tight to have on it. So I'll be working late
Speaker A
today. If that's not enough, going to Balsa now. Well, we made it down to Balsa. Check this out.
Speaker A
So, that up there, that arch and the side walls, it's an old uh bell tower that needs to all be dismantled, dropped to ground, make a load of new stones for it, and put it back. Old crane work. Uh
Speaker A
load of scaffolding. This is what we love though technically. Fairly difficult. Lotus masonry work in it.
Speaker A
Rebuild it. So that's one. We'll get this one priced up. See if we win it.
Speaker A
God time. So we've decided we just had a big meeting and we're not going to dig it all up at once. Problem is if we did, we wouldn't have access into any of the doors into the buildings, which is not
Speaker A
ideal. So, we're just going to do this um first section. Uh there's nice break in the concrete here. So, we'll just get this done to this doorway and back.
Speaker A
We're just going to have a look now. See if we can find the low spots in here and how we're going to shape it and form it.
Speaker A
We're going to break into that manhole there and bring a pipe out. We're going to put a gully in somewhere. That's what we're going to find out now. And then we'll bring a spare pipe coming up to here. We'll get all that done. put the
Speaker A
drop curbs in or the half curbs which will determine as falls and then we can ramp everything down to that. Right. I do want to grab that staff and uh Oh, have we got a tape? No. Right. Just go
Speaker A
on uh just go on in workshop there just where it in corner. Yeah. On the inside.
Speaker A
Hey yeah about there somewhere. Uh 14 1430. Um have you got tape on you Jim?
Speaker A
Where we at for uh a meter off that then meter off that is is there try and dab that at a meter and then dab that at 2 m on that meter mark and then up 2 m mark
Speaker A
1430 30 1450 1460 just falling that way. Just uh do do same here then. Just have that at a meter and 2 meter.
Speaker A
Yeah, I know. We'll just do this one as well. doing here. 2 m. Right. How do you want to do them doing that? Yeah.
Speaker A
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Sorry. Uh, that looks like it comes up. Anyway, 14 144. That's That's That's going to be an eye point there. So, if we can then run our channels to drop that way, can't we?
Speaker A
Ever so slightly. Yes. cuz then we put the gully at that side. Put another gully at that side. But I think it will end up from what I' when Philip did it, I think it'll fall this way.
Speaker A
Yeah, it's again it's 10 mil 20 mil or something like that. So we'll we'll we'll just um we'll dab it on that. Just um let's just do it. Same um what's them off that building there? 14 55 1440
Speaker A
uh 1460 1430 1450 1455 uh 1440 1450 1455 Just go on that dot just run down this middle now add these middle dots down here we just want to find where low spot is in all these dots So lowest point here is where Gully
Speaker A
wants to be. 1450 1455 uh 1445 1450 1440 1450. Yeah. So I think we're best off probably putting the gully then on that blue dot there, aren't we? Well done surveyed. So we know what we're doing.
Speaker A
Is well we never know what we're doing but we just make it up as we go along.
Speaker A
So it does all semif floor this way, but we're on millimeters 10 mil. This is the problem child around here and some other areas down there cuz that other door leaks in as well.
Speaker A
So yeah, we're going to chop that bottom of that tin sheet off. It's all knackered anyway. That allow us to get right up to the building. And then I'm just going to saw cut down 2 m down here. Break it all out. I'm not doing it
Speaker A
unfortunately as much as I'd like to. I have got so much office work to do. So, I'm going to get back to the bowling chain that is my desk and I'll nip back down at boot time or when I hear that
Speaker A
pecker going back down do a bit more videoing there. I can hear a breaking noise from the office. I'll come and see what's going on.
Speaker A
Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Well, we are now I think Thursday morning. Uh getting this unloaded what we got from the yard the other day. Then just going to throw a pallet of cement on that we've got here for mixing for
Speaker A
the mano bases and the curbs and everything down there. Struggling to get concrete for Friday tomorrow. Uh so I don't know what we're going to do. Um we'll see. We'll see. Anyway, let's get this lot loaded. It would help
Speaker A
if I open the back of this skip up. I don't know where we're going to put these in the place that's got no room. Might just put them in front of this mesh down here. We won't be moving that for a
Speaker A
while. It's a weird tip skip this to sell it privately. Got the cement on and going to go to MKM. We've got this is this is unrealist. We've got actual pack bed in here. And then down in the bay,
Speaker A
we've got stone and sand for the concrete in. But for the time it's going to take me to load all this up onto the truck. Move all the stone slates.
Speaker A
There's a load of wood in front of that. Move the doors. I'm just going to go to MKM and get some sand and ballast and stone and park bedding from there because can't be bothered moving it all.
Speaker A
Too much like hard work. We just need a massive clean up up here again. I might do it. Got bank holiday bank holiday weekend coming up. So think I just come and get some clearance work done. Have another little
Speaker A
sort out MKM onwards yard and been to MKM. Got all the gravel. Got some MRT in there.
Speaker A
Some ballast for making some concrete. More ballast. More ballast and two bags of pear gravel down there. So, like I said earlier, we just want to get a bit of concrete underneath these gullies. We got some smaller ones. Uh some 600
Speaker A
gullies, which are them ones. lads have broken into the manhole. Put the part running. So having having a gully in here and then obviously that one down there. Just going to knock a bit this ballast up now with some cement and get
Speaker A
the gully heart set and then we'll put some concrete around it. Top on back fill it, whack it, and then we can get our curbs in. Then it's pretty easy once levels are all set.
Speaker A
That's the hardest bit really. And yeah, keep going. Anyway, back to office. 2:00 this morning I left. So, it's going to be another late one tonight. It's just so much to do in there. That's why we can't get else done
Speaker A
because we've just got so much work going on. All coming soon on videos. Hopefully, we've managed to get a couple of projects where we can actually video now. One of them is really keen. So, I'm going down next week. I will do a
Speaker A
introduction to the project. I'm just meeting some sub some contractors. Uh because it's raining, we're just not going to get as much done as we thought.
Speaker A
Lads have just put some concrete in on this man here. Set that in. So then tomorrow can get part bedding in. Got to love the weather. It's been fine for like weeks now. As soon as you want to
Speaker A
do it like this truck's loaded up with all the oldore now just going to get the truck, swap the skips over. me to go and get this machine. Uh I put it up on this land when we moved back in April time, March,
Speaker A
April, and good intentions of finishing a road off that I've been putting in, but it's been sat there ever since. Not used it, and we need it back here. Next week, little lad's going to start clearing all this area, get rid of all
Speaker A
this wood, and we've got a massive pile that needs crushing. We need machinery to do it. So, yeah, let's go and get that. We made it.
Speaker A
Truck's ready to go. Unloaded. Just got some stuff out at van and we're going to go and try to see if this machine starts. Bought boost pack as well because I'm thinking it's not going to start. How long has it been down here
Speaker A
now? Months and bumps. So, we'll see. Grass is looking a bit better as well now that it's had a bit of rain on it. Turned a bit green. I just dip it for oil.
Speaker A
It's got oil in it. I think we'll just stick this booster pack on anyway because I'll be highly surprised if this thing started without it going which is plus which is plus.
Speaker A
I don't know. Oh, that's got red on it. So, I'm thinking that's going to be plus fire up.
Speaker A
Ready to jump. So, I might just give it a bit of heat a few times.
Speaker A
Has that booster pack got off pay? Oh, whoa, whoa. Yeah, boy. Beauty. Absolute beauty. I had no doubt that wasn't going to start. Right. Just let warm up for a minute since it's been sat here for 6 months. Probably probably got
Speaker A
bloody tons of water down. Exhaust on it and looking a bit green as well.
Speaker A
Do a wash. Uh grease up also go grease up. Yeah. Otherwise you can just do that. Track it up.
Speaker A
Heat. Heat. Hey, we'll just leave it running. Let that battery charge up while uh while we get strapped on.
Speaker A
Yeah boss. It's a big blade that lifts it rather than straps it. What I've got to do is dig these tracks out because need to strap it through through the tracks.
Speaker A
Really dig the tracks out all the time, but probably do it when we get back up when we get back up to other place. You see what we've done this side? Just wrapped it around, put on blade there. That
Speaker A
stops it going back anywhere. And then this one's going to go to them front connections. Stop it sliding this way.
Speaker A
Yeah, I got it. Just d it all out there and it sits nicely in there.
Speaker A
I'll just dig all that out. There you go. Oh, me ch's twisted. Oh, it's not. There it is. Hang on.
Speaker A
So, see how it connects on there? Looks behind here and he just stops it sliding forwards.
Speaker A
Just put his binder on in the middle and just wind it up. It's got two threaded rods on it. They all come together. Tighten the chain up.
Speaker A
Just like that. I said before, there's nothing worse than strapping machines and equipment on on the truck. I know something about it just messy. I don't know. I just just not an enjoyable job.
Speaker A
Sometimes I just put a strap on that arm just to stop it swaying around, but we're only going three or four miles down road, so it won't bother it for that. I was taking off motorway somewhere. I'd strap it on,
Speaker A
but for where we're going. And normally I just give these chains a chains a boot. Got me drainers on anyway, so it's not going to do much.
Speaker A
Now he's put that back one on. Just tight this front one up again. You happy little lad?
Speaker A
Hey. All right, Ron. We'll just check these chains. I always say me, if it survives getting winched on this wagon, it ain't going nowhere. So, yeah.
Speaker A
Bit of landscaping work before we go in there lady's loving it. Hey Just check make sure not's going to fall off like that.
Speaker A
There we go. Lovely job. Is he going to start? Is he going to start?
Speaker A
Dead. I knew I knew I knew he was going to uh do it that. I think it's going to want a new battery on it once they've been like left dead for ages. They never work. I have seen some Tik Toks where they put a
Speaker A
welder on it and then like clamp a welder to it and put like 40 or 50 amps through it for like an hour and and it like descales all the batteries. Let me know if you've done that and how to do
Speaker A
it safely. Um cuz I would like to try it. We do go through a lot of batteries and I think a lot of them can be regenerated. I know you can get some little tablets that you put in them, but
Speaker A
um yeah, let me know if you've done it. I might give it a try and YouTube it.
Speaker A
Boom. Well, turn to take it off. See if we can do it without tipping it over, stalling it, making it collapse, busting hydraulic pipe, busting a track. I mean, we've got a lot to choose from when he's doing it. It is
Speaker A
a fair machine. I do like it. I keep thinking need to get a new one cuz he's getting on a bit, but that dipper, it's got a massive dipper on it and a big arm for the size of the machine. You can get
Speaker A
some rate reach on it and it does dig well. Uh, I've tried to find another one like it. But everything comes with short dippers on. These dippers are all short and you have to buy them new or it's a
Speaker A
lot of faffing around to to get a longer one. Is he going to spin round or is he going to let it drop?
Speaker A
Oh, he's going to spin round. What a pro. Just going to leave this flatbed on the truck cuz next week little lad and there's another lad coming up here. Look at that cusher buckets buried deep inside there. We
Speaker A
just kept tipping and tipping and tipping. And I've got and I've got a load on the other skip. Well, I've just took off this morning uh to tip off all the concrete out the yard that we've been breaking out. So, all this needs
Speaker A
crushing. But what we want to do is get this old container on the So, we're going to move these concrete blocks next week and scrape this crush off, put a bit more uh material in here, build it back up, and then re-rush it. track it
Speaker A
in. And then that's where he nearly fell. That's where all this crush is going to do when we do this.
Speaker A
So, we got a load of old slates there and all kinds of stuff. So, we'll rattle it through, shake a bucket. A lot of this, so 95% of this is all what we've dug out when we're digging the hillside.
Speaker A
Just kept all the boulders. So, we'll shake a bucket, peck it, and then we'll pile it all up here when we crush it.
Speaker A
Right, back to yard now. Need to go and finish off this little house of fortlift. Can't get the bucket off it.
Speaker A
There's something wrong with the electrics on it. So, proper not looking forward to the this afternoon. It's going to be a long day jabbing it trying to find out what's wrong with it. Should be an easy fix. This little broken wire.
Speaker A
Yeah, I don't think so. It's probably 6 hours to take that out. Now, we got to put it back together.
Speaker A
Well, what a weekend working on this and we had a broken wire. Where is it?
Speaker A
Here. Broken wire. But that wire ran all the way down this arm and then back out of itself in there as it telescop telescopically comes out and then back down to the back of the machine. So, we've just had all this RAM, this arm
Speaker A
out, detached. Managed to get a new cable in. And I've actually put two cables in this time because I need to get me mixer bucket on which needs another cable. So, that's the new cables coming in.
Speaker A
Just put all these back on. This is where they come out of the inside of there into there. And all this lot needs building back up with the wires connecting or one of the wires onto the cell valve. Anyway, thank
Speaker A
god Monday. It's probably 5:00 now or five. Probably going to do another couple of hours on it. See if we can get all this side part back up and that. But that's my week. Hope you've enjoyed it and subscribe if you're still managing
Speaker A
to watch. Just thought I'd put something out there. Yeah. Anyway, catch you next time.
