1
That's a beautiful drawing.
2
I can't believe you did it yourself, yeah?
3
Yeah, mine is too as well.
4
Hi Will, my name is James.
5
First of all, Merry Christmas.
6
And also I've just got a little bungalow in Woodthorpe in York.
7
And me and my wife were looking to add an extension, do various bits and pieces internally.
8
And it's just about inquiring about your services and when you're available
9
to potentially come round for a site visit and what the process is, etc. Yeah, sure.
10
I'm definitely interested in making the home moments to get the best of the person their needs.
11
Currently not at work today but if you could drop me a line to hello @worldslacksign .com to review your budget requirements, come out and do a new consultation.
12
Brilliant.
13
Go through your ideas and then sort of give you a feed for my services.
14
Awesome, brilliant.
15
That sounds amazing.
16
I'll do that.
17
I've got your email actually, I'm from your website.
18
Do I need to, I mean, do you have availability in January as well, obviously, because we're looking to just start?
19
Yeah, I've got availability for the consultation which is free to go up off to, to go through that.
20
And then I wouldn't be able to be in work until mid -February though.
21
Right, okay, that's fine.
22
We can have a chat, can't we, when you come round?
23
Yeah, our architect, Will, is outside taking pictures.
24
And Cookie doesn't like it.
25
And Cookie's defending us.
26
Because Will hasn't done anything to measure off, he's got no boundary.
27
So he needs a laser to figure out.
28
So if he hits it off that, he can get his measurement.
29
But obviously there's nothing here exciting.
30
So what are we basically doing?
31
So, well, our architect is here taking full measurements of the house with finding out the structural walls,
32
pretty much everything details for measurement purposes for our house so he can go away.
33
draw it all up and we'll start the design phase which is exciting.
34
You're not cold.
35
I'm going to go to that that whole system I'm on the It's not, and you were right, it's not going to be an integral piece of architecture.
36
It's more of a bolt on extension and a conservative tune that bumped up a little bit.
37
So we decided not to go.
38
Yeah, it doesn't look right.
39
I think with this, where you're riding up Mason from Shripshire, where he was like, yeah,
40
which is the next one.
41
If I'm of his colon. So, yeah.
42
Strange, you know that colon, yeah?
43
Yeah.
44
This is the extension, but it looks like the colon looks like the house or did they just match the bricks kinda?
45
Yeah, they match the brick.
46
Yeah, you've got...
47
You've got to match up the bricks as close as possible, really.
48
Well, if you find the old plans for it...
49
Yeah, you can see by the roof that it was added.
50
It was done very early.
51
Such a strange construction.
52
Look at this, like, little...
53
end, like this door, you know?
54
She probably had an idea to put like a garden, a coffee table or something.
55
Yeah.
56
A bit underused, isn't it?
57
Yeah.
58
Something that it was only built for, but then never used.
59
I remember trying at the other side.
60
Around the back.
61
Yeah.
62
I've never been through that gate. Have you?
63
- Nope.
64
I don't have a lot of - Oh, we got rid of them trees.
65
Let me know it.
66
Did you see them trees?
67
They're quite UK.
68
Last time we were here I think we had a load of trees here.
69
Oh yeah yeah.
70
I think you chop them down.
71
I'm going to go ahead and get some more of the stuff I've been doing.
72
Bye.
73
Age metres, let's be honest, it's too much.
74
Me and Will were just discussing that obviously, we could go the three metres internally and then build...
75
The, what was it?
76
300 mil?
77
Approximately 300 million of your externals.
78
for your installation and your comic wall and everything.
79
That's beautiful drawing.
80
I can't believe you did it yourself, yeah?
81
In my list too as well.
82
It's crazy.
83
But obviously we won it.
84
And then do you want to square it off?
85
Ideally, we wanted to do that.
86
You know? to put the side extension Yeah.
87
So instead of like, the And then that ideally I'd like to be my...
88
in the house it would have been a you know yeah kind of going by the last because this is just
89
This is dead space.
90
We would never use it.
91
If the Silex engine finishes level with the Dissonville, then the lubric goes out.
92
So let's say the Sardis Center was safe for the end for the disabilities there.
93
But then we take this wall that way.
94
She'd have like a bit of a stagger there.
95
Yeah to keep you away from there yeah you could have
96
a side bend on there uh you could for building units here like a small black um You thought,
97
yeah, you know, I imagine my Spitzner hammer -clattery, really.
98
is otherwise to extend that out you won't keep the gear
99
but who's watching the triangle yeah whatever is if you if you have been digging that out it's gonna make it
100
Isn't it?
101
Ah, of course.
102
I don't understand.
103
Well think about it.
104
Why do not think that?
105
If we widen this, that gable doesn't look like that anymore.
106
It looks like that.
107
Which isn't what we wanted.
108
What we're saying is do we just bring this out to keep that...
109
And then this side becomes its own kind of maybe a side window next to it.
110
uh -huh with a flat roof on that's what we're saying uh -huh
111
and then you can have your big roof on something there here Yeah, we'll convince you, we'll see, yeah I like it.
112
Yeah.
113
So the roof lantern in that roof?
114
In this flat bit.
115
In this flat bit.
116
And then in there, because that's all vaulted and open.
117
You have your roof lights.
118
on the slopes.
119
And then your snug area with a nice roof lantern in this part with your media wall
120
and your big L -shaped sofa or whatever you want to do.
121
Will it be also a glass?
122
Yeah, so this is all...
123
Well, what we're trying to do is get that gable ending glass, which is glass by four.
124
Uh -huh.
125
This part would be...
126
Would you run the.. the bifold across the front of it.
127
You can take your off to do it. So glass?
128
Yeah, old glass.
129
Almost it.
130
I mean, I'll do a couple of options, one with like the glass band, one with solid.
131
What size?
132
I'll do like a window instead or I don't know, something.
133
Yeah.
134
Also, drainage is on that side, so you don't want to put you...
135
units on the side to rise.
136
I mean, it's doable. Of course.
137
Yeah, it's another thing to mention, there's rainages there.
138
I know you wanted us to fill out that design, but we'll get it onto it if busy with this other project.
139
What about access?
140
We've thought about like a wooden, I know this is all details, but like a wooden stove in the corner, a wood stove, you like that?
141
So that'd work perfectly.
142
So it'd work straight out of the flat roof.
143
Exactly.
144
So you could have it out of the flat roof and you wouldn't need to take
145
necessarily the bifold all the way to the end.
146
Okay.
147
Because you have your...
148
your wood in your corner.
149
I might not even want to move out of this house.
150
It sounds really nice.
151
Well, I like that what you just said.
152
Because I never thought about, I thought about bringing the whole thing out.
153
But then I didn't even think about that.
154
Mm -hmm.
155
Mm -hmm.
156
It wouldn't look right.
157
You're not going to get that.
158
That's why I was saying to change the roof, because I was thinking that the triangle disshapes.
159
But if we did that, we won't need to change the roof, would we?
160
No. because we're putting a flat extension on, we're snugging a lantern on it.
161
So it's its own little quirky little thing.
162
That's the most practical option.
163
You can put a picture if I'm like, but yeah.
164
But that's been quite difficult.
165
You see it's hitched at the moment because you see pictures.
166
Yeah, Castle Gabor.
167
Yeah.
168
Make that work.
169
Yeah.
170
Can you get nice flat roof?
171
I don't like, I don't like the cell.
172
Yeah, I mean, quite a bad name.
173
They have had there, but I suppose it's only a small percentage of the whole thing.
174
Yeah, I know it's, yeah, so we just trust, uh, to do the fast one.
175
Okay.
176
So just put it on those wet system.
177
All right.
178
I could do a membrane.
179
I mean, yeah, you often get a slice of Richmond roof, which is like the old 6070s, which leaks.
180
Yeah.
181
New systems.
182
But when I say flat roof, it's got a picture for like one to two of the girls anyway.
183
Yeah, of course.
184
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
185
Will it be...
186
Will the water go from that flat roof?
187
Yeah, that's what it says.
188
It's got a picture.
189
It's got a flat roof.
190
And it will be glass, yeah, roof?
191
No, there'll be a big glass skylight.
192
Skylight.
193
Skylight.
194
So you're not even going to have much of a flat roof if you're going to have a nice thing in it.
195
you came up with some good ideas and then you put a lot of effort into that.
196
If you want any feedback, you put a lot of effort into that initial visit.
197
Yeah, yeah.
198
You even went up into the loft.
199
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
200
You know, I thought it was like, yeah, we had cool ideas between us all.
201
Oh, well.
202
I'm looking forward to it and cracking into it.
203
Yeah, we are.
204
We're excited, aren't we?
205
Yeah.
206
The only thing, the only worry that, not worry, but the only thing we have then, Access, yeah.
207
How do we.. if we're extending this, we won't have to see it.
208
Yeah, I was being honest.
209
We don't do that.
210
Yeah.
211
Because we don't really want to start messing around with the garage.
212
Uh -huh.
213
Maybe access from there because there are, no. No. Oh, wait.
214
It's not practical.
215
We'd never walk around that side of the house.
216
Oh, yeah, that's true.
217
We'd always walk this.
218
Maybe like a little boot area with dirty boots.
219
That's 610 on the edge of the room inside because...
220
Imagine...
221
Scram that off here.
222
Yeah, yeah, I see what you're saying.
223
You're like stepping the extension part.
224
Thank you very much.
225
Thank you.
226
Yeah.
227
Yeah, that's perfect.
228
We can't wait.
229
Bye.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
