    I removed an old chimney and needed to fill up the gap. Decided to use bricks instead of plywood/ plasterboard. I wasn't really sure how to start, but after seeing your video's, I felt confident I could do it too. It was a rocky start, but I kept your video playing together. I found out you can only mount 1 meter a day to give the mortar the time to dry. I also integrated some anchors to the cavity wall behind. I can say I am proud on the result. Thanks for the great videos! I hope your students can appreciate how great a teacher you are.

    Thanks Mr Crompton for yet another wonderful lesson on how to make something I know is very difficult, appear so easy. You've just shown exactly how to talk to people as opposed to how to talk down to them and thus help them ( and me) to learn things just a little quicker. I'm sure your patience and good manners wil be rewarded one day!
