    Hello, Freemason(masson))))) Greetings from Russia! I myself was once a bricklayer, laid very well and beautifully - clients were waiting for me for up to a year. I still love the beautiful work of masons. Well done!!! And the real work is what we have in Russia, what you have in England)) The same metal hooks for tying blocks with bricks)))

      @@foundationgood123 ))) I live in the South of Russia, it's been raining for a week. The temperature is from -5 to +5. How are you))) A month ago, snow piled up by a meter and it was -20. And so warm))) I envy you. You have a football championship going on right now, and we have a pause-it's boring. I'm watching your championship. I'm rooting for MU))

    Great job Chris- those squints look great and I'm betting they cost less than £7 each

    If the frog is built downwards,and is not filled completely,will cause weakness in the weight distribution,

    Very nice Chris. No doubt needs a lot of patience on a build like that. And then a dollop more for the way the Scaffs bullied your brickwork!

    I still think the frog should face down. If it is facing up, then water can collect in case there is missing mortar. What is the consequence of facing the frog down?

    • @wumpty93
      @wumpty93 2 роки тому +1

      Weaker wall as the frog doesn't get filled up properly, as a result it puts the weight of the building on the narrow edges of the brick.

    Hi Chris, I have been asked to watch a video of yours, where you say that you use a CAT but are unable to find a Gas pipe. But the Guy has not told me which video. I am not sure how long ago you said this so if you have sorted things now, no problem. If you have not, FOC, I maybe able to give you some guidance . I coach Cable avoidance to utility operatives, assess trainers and carryout incident investigation. kind regards Pete

    You were very calm re heavy-handedness of scaffolders. It's a skin after all, not a Victorian solid brick wall! Bricks are good match for house though and look nice.
