You are definitely the best person on here regarding bricklaying videos....you are just crack bang wallop..you are steady and smooth and neat and take pride in what you do...you also do a good job in explaining in simple terms how to do the job you are doing and why you are doing it that way. Keep the videos coming as I enjoy watching them and always up for learning new ways of doing things which might be better and I'm sure other people would agree....hope you a getting a few quid from UA-cam for the time you spend on your videos when you could be focusing more on your job. Rob songer is another good neat and knowledgeable bricklayer...he's not very quick but he is neat knows his stuff like yourself...but your videos are better to watch than his because he is painfully slow and you are more real world in how you operate. You should think of a different angle to your videos that other people haven't done yet regarding laying bricks ect....don't know what that might be but it's something to think about. Look forward to your next video
Hiya Steven mate! Cheers mate I appreciate all your kind words! I do love making these videos, as half the things I've learned in the last few years have from other videos, it's all about sharing tips, tricks and some knowledge along the way☺️ I've just started earning a..okish amount of money from UA-cam. Each video probably takes me about 3-4 hours to edit, film..other behind the "scene" things. Currently I'm "out of pocket" making videos. (If I were to stay at work an extra 4 hours and change per the hour I'd make much more😂 however, I do really enjoy the engagement between myself and the viewer's and getting to speak to people such as yourself ☺️ And yes Rob is an amazing amazing Bricklayer! I'll have to look into a different angle mate..know what your on about 👌
Great videos lovely work and a nice guy its all looking and coming along perfectly. Crap this time of year though mate in it weather wise . Good luck.👍🧱🧱💯
Thanks alot Justin! Always appreciate hearing from you buddy! Yes! It starts getting a bit hairy this time of year with things freezing and rain😨😨 Hope you and the lads are doing well!
Izzy so, pleased to see your support belt but lower down ware it lower down back.. pity bout forgetting plastic under damp and over the plinths ... you will never loose the passion... so nice to hear the 🐎 horses passing in background as you so lucky with weather... your business will grow and so will your financial head, remember they have the easy bit the money 💰 Malcs in Perth WA ♥ 😎
Thanks mate, was spurred on to get it from your previous comment 👍 ah I know🤦♂️ but I'll nail some damp over them for the time being! Thanks for the support mate, appreciate it loads! 😊😊😊🍻
Brilliant work on that blockwork buddy, I'm following you on IG by the way! Keep up the great work as always! Looking forward to the next one! 👌😁👍👷♂️🧱
Tell ya what mate your vids are improving all the time- can see everything your doing in order and it paints a good picture of the job. Cheers for taking the time to do it all mate- can I request a song please? It’s Syn cole- got a feeling, you’ve used it before I think…
Thanks mate! Appreciate it..made a rod for my own back really, As I like my videos to flow from start of a job.. middle, end of the job..so I dont just record a odd day where I'm laying bricks..i like the videos to tell a story Yea course mate! I'll hunt it down, And Make sure its not copyrighted 😉..have a good week buddy! Take care🍻🍻
7:48 wiggle that bum 😂haha hard work rather you than me laying concrete blocks! Especially when you’re stretching yourself! I know a bricklayer local to me he uses one hand laying his blocks even overhand work…it’s hard graft
11:02 when you paste the joint on use the bit left to butter front edge of block then there is no good to fill later. 13.40 same thing butter front full.
I know I know🤦♂️ I initially planned to get some of that thin polythene to put under the first block to cover it. However I've since nailed dpc over the pinths to over them up👍👍😄🍻
Blockwork very tidy,, shocking working conditions,, I was told many years ago you shouldn't be hitting blocks down with your hand, that eventually you will start to lose the feeling in it and I noticed you do it quite a lot,, keep up the good work 👏
Thanks buddy, appreciate it! I know mate, but just had to crack on..you know how it is sometimes Yea little bad habit I've picked up, thanks though buddy! Have a good week bud😊👍
I bet you have 20k subs by Christmas...if not 50k. There's onky so many brickys in the world that watch it on UA-cam and it seems you've gotten over that algorithmic hurdle already.
Hahaha not quite 20k 😂 But hopefully close to 2500 maybe! Kinda learnt whom my audience is and how I like to appeal to them. Think people like that I do different jobs almost every video..not just house bashing..1st lift 2nd lift.. joist. Wallplate.. gables Thanks for your comment mate, really appreciate it! I'm on Instagram now, so if you wanna see what I'm doing day to day check that out :) only like to put videos on UA-cam where I feel its worthy, if that makes sense
@@mastersamurai7683 just need more frequent uploads, however I don't wanna put just little bits on UA-cam..I like my videos to tell a story..more following a job as it progresses..you know what I mean 😄 (uploading a new video currently however, 80 minuiets)
just out of curiosity what do you use in your mix to have so much playtime with the blocks/bricks. Because here in Denmark we got like 20 secs and its dead with normal mix sand/cement.
@@IzzytheBricky haha yeah im aware that our sand is alot more rough compared to other places but that is on purpose binds the cement better, was more the working time you get but basicly dishwashing liquid? i have heard about that before gotta try it out :)
I was under the impression from another video I watched not sure if it’s true but he said that blockwork or bricks where the lintel bares on to it should be a full brick or block to NHBC standard? I notice on some of yours where the lintel sits on the blocks some of them are cut blocks does it make a difference is is that just in an ideal world?
@@IzzytheBricky Lol…ok I still think you’re the best bricky I’ve come across. I suppose the South is too far for you to travel and do a job? Obviously a small job no but what if it was a bigger job?
@@user-DANWALKER1066 haha cheers mate! Appreciated all your nice comment's over the last few days! Depends how far mate, but it might be too far. South is about a 3 hour drive for us
@@IzzytheBrickyYes quite far from you…..shame ….well if you ever grow to a big company and have a team of bricklayers working for you then I’d keep you busy on extensions in the South East…I think people struggle to find decent people to actually do the work here…Bricklaying not as many people do it now and huge shortage of them up and down the country but good for you keeps you busy! Stay safe and enjoy your holiday!
There SHOULD be a LARGE air space gap in-between the face of the insulation and the OUTER WALL inside the cavity ; this includes an air space gap in between the face of the insulation and the cavity-wall-tie drip point which is in the centre of the cavity. Ask N.V.Q. BRICKWORK teachers for PROOF of this !
That's gotta be my most asked question mate 😉😂 I got it 2nd hand off gumtree, 80 quid 👍👌 Have a look on ebay/facebook/gumtree for 2ndhand ones buddy, however they are like rocking horse shit😂😉 Have a good week
Cavity ties at maximum 900mm horizontally and 450mm vertically plus at 225mm ctrs vertically around each opening? These are not immediately visible throughout.
@@IzzytheBricky I didn't mean to be overly critical of your work. I am OCD about putting the cut in the inside corner. You are obviously a very talented bricklayer! Outstanding work!
Hi mate, that's not really common practice where we are. We always put cavity closures between the outer skin and inner skin to avoid cold spots and bridging Cheers for the comment mate hope your well!
@@IzzytheBricky iam from Northern Ireland iam a bricky myself sorry was but 6 disc went in my back I was just 28 so its been over 12 years since I done any building like your stuff mate
Bedding your dpc wrong! You need to sandwich the dpc in the mortar bed not place it directly on the brickwork without a bed! Plus you've put a cavity tray in but I didn't notice any weep holes!
Wheeps are in the plinths..look👌Yes sometimes I bed tray on..others no, depends on how in feeling. It don't stick anyway so I've always wondered why we do it
I’m a stonemason general builder from north wales I must say I can’t get enough of your videos well done you keep them coming
Thanks david
Super...
Give the engineering bricks a rub down with the insulation. They come up spotless

Great video and tidy work on the blocks there… absolutely fair play to get production you’re knocking out by yourself…

Good bricklaying but where is the vapor barrier, insulation and block weld tieing the blocks to brick?
Looking good , be good to get on the scaff and out of all that shite !

11:02 when you paste the joint on use the bit left to butter front edge of block then there is no good to fill later.
13.40 same thing butter front full.
We never put small pieces in the wall. Use 75 mm piece on corners so there's no pieces.
Wouldn't it be wise to put a plastic cover / DPC over the plinth? It stops mortar from damaging the face.
I know I know🤦♂️ I initially planned to get some of that thin polythene to put under the first block to cover it. However I've since nailed dpc over the pinths to over them up👍👍😄🍻
My gaffer calls them top courses of block onions cos they make you cry
Haha fair play mate, horrible reaching up that high 😂😂💪

@@brickblocksolutions1660 oh wow big gang😮 What prices are you getting up there mate?
Rub them with a bit ov insulation works for me everytime 👌 just let it go off a bit 👍
Bang on mate👌👌
Hi, good videos, no time lapse, that's good because we can see you work in more depth, also, are you using a 13" trowel ??
Cheers mate, happy you like them! Usually I dont time lapse, but just wanted to try a few new features on my new phone😂👌 12" 😊

Cheers fella🍻🍻
@@IzzytheBricky by the way ya backs been giving you hell cos your on your own . Pls get some help you'll still earn

Haha I know I know🤦 forgot me polythene didn't I🤣 got some dpc tacked on now though 😉😄
Why don't yous return your inside blocks up your window jams and door jams with 4 inch damp and 4 inch strip off insulation

Cheers mate, got them covered 👌 what do you mean concrete bricks in the corner bud?
why no polythene
Forgot it mate🤦♂️Nailed some dpc over it now anyway👍 Cheers fella
Don’t you return your door jams
Hiya mate, no we keep a continuous cavity here👌 Hope you've had a good Christmas and New Year buddy
you look dead young in these older vids lol
I know 😂😂
Cover that plinth and sort the bond out between the two windows, apart from that 👍👍
sound
No clue why you guys don't use scaffolding.
Look like a pro use clean tools. 😱
Jam not jarm lol
Naa we call it jarm 🤫😉
i bet you dont forget polythene again saves loads of time cleaning up
Haha your right mate! Was gutted to realised I'd not got it 🤦♂️ Tacked some dpc over it for now 👍Cheers Jack🍻
Get rid of that belt mate. It will weaken all your core strength. If your struggling on blocks at your age that's a bad sign.
Had a long week laying blocks, definitely made my life easier👌 Dont wear it all the time anyway 👌 Cheers bud, hope your well🍻😄
