Secret Garage Update #7 HEAVY STEEL TIME

[Music]

well y second Channel people and

underground secret garage Fanatics right

where are we at we've got conrete

halfway up the wall um I can confirm

we've got no water getting in there is

no more water creeping in under the

floorboards I took the fan out

completely so I could keep an eye on the

hole and the you know the bit the vent

pipe coming down that's always dry now

I've changed the bird page on the top

for a mushroom cap so that ruls that out

even more so that is all good now thanks

you of course to everyone that's uh

bought the milk T t-shirts and the uh

hooded tops there's a few of them left

on the website now but managed to get

some more mugs in stock now they've got

white insides rather than pure red so I

hope you don't mind that but they're on

the website now that's all good right

let's get cracking and you know keep on

going Colin huh oh thank you very much

of course for a million subscribers I've

not got the play buttons yet so I can't

do the whole you know I'm actually quite

overwhelmed by it really the fact that

this channel has got to a million Subs

in what like 3 months or something two

months quicker than I ever thought it

would be so uh much appreciated right I

better get on with it a I okay concrete

p number

three and we've got

membrane there we are so pull this

polyan up that goes down pretty much to

just pass where the clay finishes cuz

there's no point having that up against

The Rock because the Rock's very well

draining and also you want the cement

key into the Rock well I do anyway let

me just got a little bit of mck on the

lens so we got all that round that goes

all the way around the whole thing at

the end there it's a little bit tricky

you probably can't see that cuz there's

nothing to hold it up to cuz there's no

wooden structure cuz we're under the

garage roof so today's concrete pole is

going to come up to the guttering if it

was to have any if it was outside and

then after that we got to sort the RS

J's out there's another rsj got to go

horizontally and then we're going to

ring this rebar up to just over the top

of that so it all ties in with this top

slab and then we can do another concrete

P which will put like a bit of a wall up

here we won't come over we won't come

across the whole thing cuz that's going

to be done in light weight concrete

right there cement La going to turn up

any

minute

wow that's

beautiful right then today's little job

wrap the other two Services electric

covered ages ago gas water m still do

and also sort out my little faux par of

when I melted through it so I think what

I'm going to do I'm going to do the

whole length of it in blue poly put the

two cupins right at the either end so

hopefully if we want to change it we'll

be able to dig through get to them pull

the whole thing out and then maybe one

day do it all in one continuous length

so there's no joints in it I don't

really want joints anywhere near this

then I've got some more pipe which I've

split I can wrap around it

[Music]

beautiful

[Music]

[Music]

right that's got all this covered over

we' got the gas we've got the water we

got the electric very nice we've marked

them of course as you should do they're

all nice protected now so when we cover

them in concrete if we ever want to

change any of them they're not set in

stone they could be dragged out either

end very nice right my next job is to

cut

down this rsj down to size that one did

that one before I've took this big rsj

out the way at a minute cuz what I'm

going to add is another one which goes

horizontal across there and that's going

to be a lot easier to weld if that one's

out the way and also it was always a bit

precarious and last time we actually

knocked it and it fell down the back

well of course it can't do that now cuz

it's full of concrete which is very good

but I've dragged it out the way and then

we'll get this all lined up I've got my

little laser level on here and stuff

like that but I've also got another

level CU you know technology can't

always 100% trust it do we so it's good

to check it twice so I'm going to get

those po bits cut clamp the all

horizontal bits across weldy weldy then

we can drop the rsjs back on which would

be quite easy then because obviously if

it's got a horizontal bar to sit on we

can just lob it on and then slide it

across or whatever and then it just

needs lifting up cuzz I think it's set

slightly lower at the minute just with

how the plates and everything are all

going to work out and also so I can get

round it with the welds and stuff so

there's not like a funny joint that you

can't really weld properly there then

that's all I know but this is all good I

might give this a little bit of a brush

up this has gone way rustier than I ever

wanted I mean apparently it doesn't

matter it forms a barrier but this does

look a bit worse than ideal this bits

took longer than it should have

but you know I'm only one

person okay but now for a different type

of

[Music]

update okay so two videos ago I

introduced you to the sponsor incog now

this is a service that manages your

online personal data now every website

you visit every service you book every

form you fill out leads a little trial

of personal information of data online

and then this information gets compiled

into like a virtual folder and sold onto

a data broker now data Brokers can then

use this information against you or

people that you don't want to have

access to it can get access to it so I

set up me own incognit account and it

immediately found 46 data Brokers with

my personal information on and I've seen

some people have over 200 now in 15

minutes it got my information removed

from six of them and had I done this

myself it estimates that it would have

took me 3 hours and 45 minutes so now

with just over a month passed it's got

me off 32 had I done this myself 24

hours that would have took me but if

information like this is left then

potentially criminals can take out loans

in your name things like health

insurance premiums can go up depending

on what your online activity is and I

have notice a definite drop in cold

calls from people like diesel claims and

PPI sales Etc so if you want to take

your personal information back with

incognet use my code and get 60%

off okay let's get some rsjs in see if

we get on at cutting these cuz last time

with the other one didn't make a very

good job of it but then I was

precariously standing over a massive

gret hole whereas I haven't got that

now lucky a they Colin come on you're

going to wear safety glasses and at

least they going to be clean well I

think we will start off with the grinder

and then we'll move swiftly onto the

reciprocating saw and maybe a band

saw

ah oh the battery

dead lovely job of that Colin but now

it's a tricky

bit get me airut tomorrow Bo do I need

it did I tell you how much I hate

reciprocating soil I think I may have

mentioned

it can't do that go in the face and I'll

end up I'll end up in a safety

poster let's put a new blade and I'll

reciprocate it cuz I think you are the

tool for the

job I think you are you know what I

think I might move you guys cuz you're a

bit far away a you closer now ain't you

right what should we ruin this oh minute

there was the speed thing on here

where's the speed thing again I can't

remember oh it's here in it

too let's try that that'll ruin it

faster you still can't see what I'm

doing can

you we just here for the ride it don't

matter I'm not looking forward to there

oh why you working

there

there we

go let's hope it's the right

height is that the most safety equipment

you've ever seen me wear in one shot

probably is

[Music]

what is a big old steal

com all man what a shock it's raining

again come on weather give me a break I

fed it with this

[Applause]

now right today's little job as it is

absolutely P it them is to rub these

down get rid of all this rust I don't

know if you can see it on this camera

fil it with the other one this one is

particularly bad and so is this one and

then just go around all the walls clean

them all up there's some little bits

here where the condens is sat and then

like WD40 up and maybe put a bit of wax

on so now I prefer to be up top sorting

all the rsjs at but I'm not getting that

[Music]

wet

[Music]

okay my second rainy day job is to get

rid of this cable going down the wall

here now of course the tunnel used to

end here when it was all just blocked

off but of course we've got an extra 200

mil now um and we don't want the cable

going the wall like that cuz I'd say

that's damn right sacr so what I'm

thinking we'll te this off cuz I haven't

welded these on yet drill all through

here drill all in the same place at the

bottom thread It Up This Bar you can see

that you can see that's a bar so bring

the cable up bring it along down into

the switch we'll have to slot there's a

load of extra slack and stuff in here

look cuz I knew I was going to move this

but I didn't know where exactly

originally I think I was going to have

it in this room but there's no reason

why it can't be in here makes perfect

sense and then like I've cut a little

slot out of that bit of the minute make

that massive and then like put that

across there weld it up there weld it up

there hopefully I won't melt the cables

when I weld it up if I do it in Little

Bits slowly so it never gets too hot

should be okay and then do that and then

that's that done and then hopefully it

will stop raining get some rsjs

[Music]

in

[Music]

now normally when you put a bit of metal

no now normally when you put a cable

through something you want to put a

rubber grommet around it you you know to

stop it snagging or shorting out but

because this is such a thick piece of

metal and this is of a little bit of

plate that comes down I a going to work

very well so what I'm going to do I'm

going to shove the cable through like

this bit of tube be and kind of sleeve

it in that way so it's like a a linear

grommet as I will come to say that might

actually be its name who

[Music]

knows

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

C right challenging part today part one

this

rsj it's got to go on here level

obviously going to be reasonably tricky

on me own but I've got a plan I'm going

to

clamp these bits of wood underneath

where they need to go clamp them up

there and then I can slot it on and kind

of slide it towards it and then when it

gets here I'll be able to clamp them to

that get them sort of nice and level

which I mean if we get these bits level

level anyway would it so I'm going to do

that start I'm going to start off with

doing this one little bits of wood clamp

around the back very

noce right oh yeah not that there you

can't even see that can you terrible com

I got no I got no hammer down here it's

been one of them days where I've just

been back and forth to the blooming shed

getting tools but you don't have a

hammer got another clam that'll

do

tighten you up right that's one oh I

ain't clean the thing yet wait a minute

I'll I'll turn you back on in a minute

got Hammer right that's that's s right

let's get in a mess you up on

there you know what be really

easy think you smash the

technique look at

it put in

there hold on a

minute okay that was actually quite

Swift right this is all nice and level

now very nice now basically what we're

going to do I'm going to weld these this

like this to the upright and then these

plates here will slot in here and then

there's another big

plate here that will sit on there and

then the other rsj the big one that went

across will sit there on top of that we

never actually welded that other one on

which was quite lucky really cuz it's

made this job a lot easier so that's

what we're

[Music]

doing that's that side

done very

nice

beautiful oh I'll do it all again over

there which arguably is going to be even

harder cuz garage foundations are a bit

lower right let's go SW that's that one

then that's that one then ooh made a

little Improvement on my straps

look rather than tying them through like

this which of course is a right pain

every time you want to change the thing

thingy oh Colin got some of these little

hookie things oh very

nice it's only a small thing but it

makes all the

[Music]

difference got the rsj beams in

yesterday then of course it absolutely

funded it down with rain so we had to

cover it all back up again now I've

jacked this one up cleaned underneath it

put a little car jack under it under

there flicked it up so I clean all the

moisture out of it this one's not in the

right place at the minute because the

gas pipe technically needed to go

through it but I've been thinking might

actually get the gas pipe moved I wasn't

going to do that before and because I

wanted to get all this bit like

concreted and covered over but I don't

think I'm going to do that now I think

I'm going to complete the whole thing

and then do that but anyway I'll talk

about that another time so I might just

shove this one near to where it needs to

be leave it sat on the old horizontal I

might weld a plate across here and then

bolt it to it cuz the whole point of

these in the interim is to keep the

pressure of the walls from pushing in

and then kind of squeezing the roof up

so they're sort of like braces really at

the minute so I'm going to lower this

one down weld it up there welded up at

the back calling point the camera where

you should do and then that's that one

done and then we just need to extend the

rebar let me flip the screen down a

minute this rebar has got to come up to

lightweight it's got to come right up to

right up to just above here and then

I've got a load of Loops so we're going

to get that in shutter all this off and

then there's just another bit of

concrete to put like a little bit of a

upstand wall all the way around the

outside to like this sort of height and

then once we've done

that it's actually time for more digging

now whether I do that straight away or

wait for the weathering proves we'll see

how I feel cuz at the moment I'm a bit

annoyed with the weather as you can

imagine cuz for like 2 3 months I've

been doing this this it's just been

horrific right let's weld this on very

nice Colin got me welder I mean look

crawling down there if you look at this

job and think col this looks a bit of a

mess at the minute or this looks like a

horrific job you'd be right I got a lot

of things to change once you've done

this bit but I'm sort of baked in to the

system I'm using so yeah this next bit

is going to be a lot different but this

is what happens you live and learn don't

you get better you change your methods

right Wy weldy

Wy

[Applause]

[Music]

that's not going anywhere is it it's

quite funny I was watching Grand designs

the other night which for those of you

who don't know is a British TV show

where people build like elaborate funny

shaped houses and uh and the welds on

one of the rsjs that failed and this is

lman H look those welds have failed and

then I was like are you saying my WS are

going to fail and then I look back and I

I did not get the face of someone that

was confident in my welding

huh but I think that'll be all right

surrounding in concrete buildy you'll be

fine right I'm going to shove you across

roughly get some rebar

up I should try and explain this gas

pipe issue so here is the pad for this

rsj and it is on this side of the gas

pipe but through

here if you cannot see it's on that side

which means the rsj would have to go

across the path of the gas main now I

did think about cutting a slot out

sending it through and then welding it

or bolting the plate on but let's face

it I don't sound very good does it it's

going to compromise the strength of the

steel and we risk smashing the gas gas

pipe up so I thought we've got a bit of

time on our RS now let's ring the gas

people up and see if they'll come and

shift it although I'm saying this I've

not rang them up yet and ask to how much

it's going to cost it's going to cost a

fortune we'll slot the Blooming Thing

over cuz you know if this is just a

brace once the concrete on the top and

all the rebar is set these don't really

do anything apparently according to

structural dude but they'll do something

won't they but they're not in the

calculations so if one of them is

compromised it won't matter but anyway

like I said let's do some rebar okay

rebar lovers this is the thing brought

the rebar up to here and I've had a load

of these hoops made up cuz it's easy to

buy them pre-done to the schedule or the

the plan sort of thing and then we

basically slot them on there tie them

all up I said about six about 65 m above

this then they go all around all the way

around the outside all nice and level

and then once we've done that we've got

some wood wood going to shutter this off

and then we'll pour up to about this

this height here and then that will be

like our final bit of concrete until the

next bit of course which is the massive

slab which goes across the whole thing

but we're going to do that at the end

once the uh once the rest of it made yes

so a lot of bit of um tying I'm not

filming much of this cuz I just want to

get on with it it's not raining I'm sure

you can

understand you fire you know that can

get you fire you know that can get

no what's what's this thing in the sky I

know crazy

right look at that that's looking good

that is we've got it all shuted off down

the bottom here we've got this bridging

out ready for some um mesh that will go

all the way over the roof that's keyed

in to the bottom down there you probably

can't see it very well but it's all

strapped up to it I've put this bit of

wood across here cuz I noticed when I

was filming the other camera it had a

slight banana to it so that's stiff and

N up the pipes and everything are all

coming through there very

nice the end bits all shuted off so all

we got to do now oh my god I've got a

shadow what's happening put the lid back

on this bit and then obviously work me

way down the side here doing all these

hoops and then do exactly the same as

this but down the other end underneath

the

garage which is going to be a complete

nightmare

beautiful people it's not as bent as

that obviously that's the camera lens

don't worry not not that bad right let's

going do the rest of

it there we go I've got the other side

sorted now Never filmed it because it's

the same as that side only this side was

a lot harder obviously cuz I can't get

can't stand above it cuz I'm underneath

the blooming garage foundations there's

a couple of bits here which I've sort of

semi- missed out cuz obviously this beam

is not in the right place so that needs

to be able to slide across but I'll be

able to sort it all out once something

else has happened and then at some point

this bit here is all going to get

chopped off cuz obviously the drain

needs altering so that whole bit will

probably exposed a bit more and then

I'll be able to get the steel work down

there yeah to it's all right I'm not

worried about it so you shouldn't worry

about it and then over here I nearly

forgot this cuz I got the concrete

coming today oh God I'm falling over

there got a vent got the vent here it

sticks up here ready the next bit of

concrete will only come to there so

it'll just be semi submerged so I can

still get around that to welder fitting

on and then that's probably going to

come along here and then stick up the

side of the garage or something

somewhere I was going to put it in the

garage and I still might do that I

haven't decided yet I've not rolled it

out right that's it for this

video I'll see you in the next one I

think the next one will be a main

Channel video so is this one main

Channel video then we'll be back on here

I may have a small break because I've

been working on this constantly for

quite a long time now I feel like now

I've got this bit done the next bit is

going to be a bit easier it's bit more

copy and paste cuz obviously we've just

got this which everything joins on to

and then we'll do everything in the

right order next time hopefully it's

going to get a lot easier right see you

in the next one if there is a sponsor

for this video thank you very much I

don't know yet I've not got that

far

why

stay safy sh time manness
