Yeah Ed yeah how did you get that in strong Anna strong I know you’re strong but you’re not that strong look now Louie came and uh unfortunately he was going to come and help us this afternoon but he’s had to go out now so how are you going

To well how you going to get anything done today oh well funny she’ ask that I’ve got the ladder here we can put the ladder somewhere around here okay yeah yeah you can put the ladder there okay well give me the camera what for well you’re my new

Assistant that makes me laugh for real yeah bers can be choosers and all that’s left yep okay but I got a present for you first what is the present they didn’t have XXL gloves like Big Man gloves so I had to get you oh size seven s well the

The lady in the shop says they do do six and she bought out six and I don’t think Charles had fit in six so I said well I have to go for seven cuz cuz long nails no I’ve been gardening so not even long nails anymore but no this is

They’re actually very nice and I like that they’re a different color Ed yes what’s this line here uh you weren’t meant to show everyone that basically I must have got a little bit overzealous with the concrete because I was sure that i’ left like 211 here but in fact I think it left

About 20 uh 209 5 cm and this frame’s 210 so that’s where all the dust came from and that’s what I’ve had to do to try and solve the problem right so I’ve got those three pieces ready to make the frame cuz that’s the first thing I’ve

I’ve got my little crib notes here that tell me exactly how to make it the uh bfold door um and I’ve got three first pieces but the fourth piece is actually still connected to the door oh so you’re going to break the frame yep going to get it out

I know this might be the first time that I’m meeting my new assistant to be honest in a minute because as I take I know I’ve wedged I’ve wedged this up so it’s backwards so the so that the window doesn’t fall but still I think I’m going

To come close well yeah uh you could always put the camera on on the ladder yeah I didn’t expect to be the assistant otherwise I would have brought the St well Yeah it’s a lovely noise when the screw uh when the nails come out isn’t it it is I’m going to have to mute that though cuz it’s not nice for people okay last one very well packed yeah oh the uh the Customs caught up with

Me now they I got an email from the uh from the transporter saying here’s your Customs bill I was like darn it thought I’d got away with it so I have a customs bill of a whole € 1226 which is actually really good sometimes it’s a hell of a lot more for

Well yeah um the other thing is uh these have yeah like I said they come from the UK because they are standard size in the UK [Applause] okay so all we’re going to do is lift this bold up we’re not touching the top we’re just pulling from the bottom

Lifting it up and we’re going to place it on here on there okay okay I’ll when it’s when we’re ready I’ll I’ll put this in place yeah yeah Anyway maybe a move it more like that yeah there we go okay we just need to knock these pins out now okay you got it yeah okay next what I’m going to need you to do is put those with those little grub screws okay do you want to come in the

Middle and hold this piece and I’ll get the last one out there we go thank you okay there we go okay I think mhm we got a little bit of clearance here we’ll try and build the actual structure cuz we got that there uh the glass we’ll try and build the structure

Out here what do you think we don’t really have much room out here but tell you what we’re going to do we’re going to build the structure here in a u and then the top piece we’ll put on out I just don’t want to go anywhere near

That glass no okay unless if we just push it back no no because it’s not there’s nothing supporting it in the height then is there we can try let’s give it a go we maybe put some of these there just push as much as we can against it that’s

All or maybe the rock wall there we just put that so even if the thingy falls on the Rock W okay good idea move this out the way now we don’t need that the put two rock wall and then we’re sure so this here is the upright okay

And I know it’s the right place and I know it’s the right way around because these hinges have to go here cuz the bolds are folding here and uh they said in the instructions that the big gap goes at the top a little Gap at the bottom so

Okay same again I know that the uh the bottom goes this way around so what I need you to do Anna is uh just hold this up right for me you can okay [Applause] okay and on the second one here that’s as close as you get it okay

Let’s pop this one out here you might have to change the I don’t want that’s not in enough okay right let’s get this side on just hold that one second on double okay yeah uh so if I don’t know if I light flat like this if you like flat

Like that I’m going to have to try and hold it so it doesn’t fall again if you can hold this one on on this angle now we’ve got the top bits put in but yeah and then we can just literally lift up and put it in but I’m not so sure

That’s going to work but we’re going to give it a go so what I’m going to do is I’m going to get your end in first and then we’re going to scoot it up there so I’ve got room to work on this end okay let’s bring it up as much as possible

You know what I think we should just put it on the floor instead okay we’re never going to be able to hold it all up okay if you move your end inside watch tou okay go up there as much as possible a meter or two that means we got this

Here do I leave it on top of this uh just wa we might have enough room keep going keep going up there if I just move this for the time being okay I’m holding it with my hand on top of this so it’s not scratching yeah we’re just struggling a

Bit I need that in a second that’s the outside this is the inside it goes like that okay so I’m okay so this needs to be square okay for me to screw do you think you can come and hold this like this yeah square like that need that nice and

Square so that when I screw it screws in nice and square yeah I think I’m in the hole okay don’t you know where the other screw is I can’t see it it’s looking good even though it’s mainly on the floor yeah how are you finding that

Working on that H know well I think it’s a bit hard work it was hard work wasn’t it yeah okay now’s the moment of truth is it going to fit I don’t know everybody pause the video and no cheating I want you to comment whether we actually get it to fit first time

Okay ready okay so I lift this you lift up yep let’s lift it is that the heavy side I think your side might be a bit heavier I’ll take this side okay what we need to do is we need to first of all slide it outside slide it outside okay yeah

No no too much oh we need to move some of this stuff I think we’re struggling here we need to get all this out the way are you good with it yeah can’t go watch out can’t go too much further because of that pipe anyway yeah okay

So you need to come across here yeah okay still angled okay we’re out we’re out and now you have little faith I bet the all said no in the comments but have said yes no to be honest to be honest I’m with the no contingence because I

Don’t think it’s going to fit I’ve had to mess around too much on the floor mess around on the ceiling let’s see I am I’m faithful that it’s going to hit well I’m hoping it’s going to you just hold that end where it is so you good y well we got one thing’s

Correct and that’s the width no yeah oh oh my God you’re not going to believe that it’s fit ah but hold on well it fits it’s not under any pressure it just kind of scratched in as such up top but if it isn’t level and it isn’t Plum

Okay no no no there’s no okay we just leave it because it’s not level and it’s not Plum we have to get it level and plum because the doors won’t open and close correctly too many VAR okay what do you want to start with Anna

Level or Plum I don’t know I think the first thing might well be feels like we have quite a bit of clay here but not so much in the middle let’s see I have to film and show everyone the level at just just let me get it level

First and then you can film at the same time we’re on Plum anyway well that’s not bad to be fair come and show everyone it’s fine I can play around with that all I want to get it Plum my big worry is cuz I’m pretty sure it’s not is the floor

Well I can’t see so I’m waiting for you to say something touching up there oh you see I don’t want to don’t want to jinx it but I think it’s good now go on say sometimes I shock myself Anna you know what I’m gonna do that’s looking so good

Now I’m going to draw some lines so I know where to put it back in again how’s it looking why is it going to go back out oh yeah oh God no that’s odd needs to go in a bit here I want to get lines on the floor cuz the floor’s

Nice and level okay but why do we have to get it back up was that a question or was that a complaint well not a question why or a bit of both well we struggled to get it in so I just thought that’s it we don’t have to get

It back out well no what we need to do is I’ve not forgotten I was just too excited about checking it out but every 20 cm we need to drill some holes and for you mean put screws drill some holes for screws well we managed

This so we can do it again yeah it’s not that we’re going to have to take it out drill the holes put it it back in mark up where we need to drill holes for the screws and then put it back in again take it out put it back in again when’s

Lou coming back I don’t know not soon enough okay oh that’s typical did everything fall yeah I’m looking for my Lou’s gone off with his um with all these Pockets full of stuff and I only had a little blade and I need to sharpen this pencil oh and my little Blade’s Gone Missing So I’ve drilled all those counter sunk the one in the bottom it got a little bit boring I think for viewers so Anna Switched Off um I’m going to need you now Anna here so if you can put the camera back on the the ladder the make

Do camera stand and uh we’ll do another time lapse hey sounds Good It’s like B it’s like in the middle it’s like that okay let me just might have to don’t know if you could see in that time lapse but I’ve been struggling again with my uh my drills there there is a solution around the corner um and I’ll I’ll explain that next next

Time but um yeah it’s not a it’s not unfortunately it’s not a tool sponsor but we’re we’ve got a solution for these tools so still looking for the tool sponsor but right let’s see now I think it’s pretty much level in the middle and then if we come across

Here slightly high at this end and then if we come across here it’s slightly high at that end now what I’ve done is I’ve screwed the two uh the two extreme screws in and so that now leaves me with the middle that if I if I screw it in anymore it’s just it’s

Only going to go one way and that’s down and as it is it’s already a little bit down yeah that makes sense from the edges so what is the solution solution is to pack if a can but I mean maybe I’m just being a bit too finicity cuz it’s

Not really a huge amount of you you’ve been picky yeah maybe I’m just a perfectionist yeah I mean it does seem to be going a little bit higher up the edges but fing Mill maybe I just Tien it up at that I think over the whole lot is nice

And level well it’s looking really good when I saw it but you’re the expert so I just follow I think just tighten them back up I don’t know whether everybody spotted but I wasn’t meant to be using uh the other drill but I had to in the end cuz this just wasn’t dealing

With it and the worst thing is it’s not because it’s old it’s just not strong enough okay it’s a nice good fix and then we’ll see yeah okay let’s get the uh head fixed in in fact no I’m going to drill a few more holes here first we’ll do that off

Camera because a bit boring now just cuz I had to double check that I was meant to be drilling the holes here you called the company didn’t you yeah uh this is produced like I say by our looks I gave him a call and uh it’s a UK

Company and and they just uh quickly said yeah let me just double check and yeah it was correct so yeah I’m going in through a piece of plastic and the head of the screw is going to actually not be in a plastic it’s going to land obviously the

Other way around on the uh aluminum just wanted to make sure I wasn’t drilling the plastic and making a mistake okay we’ll drill those and then we’ll film getting back that head in okay Okay we going to just check am I looking a little bit older you you’re looking a bit I won’t say dusty but like yeah speckled probably should have worn a mask and I’ve probably got about 30 comments already lined up with people saying why you not wearing a mask well I

Didn’t think about it to be honest but that’s okay I can make mistakes I can go and get mask now um if if I remember uh let’s just double check this and I’m really happy with that that is plum going to do the same thing on the

Other side it’ll be Plum as well on the other side and then uh we’ll get all the top ones in and then we’ll see where we’re up to sounds good this drill bit is the perfect length just to get my screws in I’m having to kind of touch thankfully it’s

Touching the aluminium with rubber so don’t worry on it it’s not making a mess and as soon as I touch it with the rubber I know that I’m in the right depth okay if it wasn’t long enough would have been stuck and you’d have all had to miss out on me drilling

Holes okay uh I need you to come I come hold it again pulled up slight come down a little bit though see a Thing I think I’ve got quite a lot of work still to do I’ve got all these bottom all these side uh screws to get in and then 14 more up top and I think the reveal is quite a way off isn’t it it is it is and we just realized off

Camera that even if I screw everything up Anna’s not going to be able to help me with the doors cuz they’re far too heavy no as much as I’d like to I can’t lift them so you know what that means we’re going to have to reveal next week I’m so
