    I built wall back in the mid 90's, amazingly without any of these great tutorials on you tube, it was about 12 bricks high with a 'soldier' course on top. I genuinely remember practicing the piers with the kids lego. It was long enough to require some piers. I don't live there anymore, but it's still standing and to be honest, it doesn't look too bad at all. I remember it took me ages to finish it, the near neighbour across the road shouted over to me "they built the Great Wall of China" quicker.

      @Jordan Belfort it’s not that hard honestly. For example, I’m doing cement work for a really great guy, very patient and very willing to teach me everything he knows. Our job was to build a fence post in a parking lot to keep druggies and vagrants out, and to section off two different property lines.
      Anyways, my first day meetin him, I told him “I’ve done this once before with my dad growing up and I don’t remember much.” He loved the honesty and taught me how to jack hammer specific lengths so the hole will match the diameter of the metal poles. He taught me how to set string line, he taught me how to mix Type 1 porter cement, and more.
      Within 3 days I’ve already gotten a grasp on it and was working by myself when he ran and got supplies. Moral of the story, as long as you pay attention and try to enjoy the work, you’ll pick it up very easily. It’s not rocket science haha

  • @system2thinker659
    @system2thinker659 4 роки тому +20

    I'm curious how you keep the bricks level from front to back... in other words, the string line keeps the bricks level from left to right but what prevents the bricks from leaning too far forward or too far back? Unless doing the line and eye balling makes that direction of level irrelevant? I was thinking putting a square onto of the brick line against the wooden frame, then you can see if the row is not creeping forward or backwards?

    One of the biggest problems that I had was getting the morter consistancy correct, which made laying the brick difficult.
    I would have liked to see the morter mixing process at the beginning of the video.
    Perhaps you could do a video on mixing morter with hints and tips to get it to just the right consistancy.

    We enjoyed this video as part of a home education project on house building. It's made us want to try building a wall ourselves! Thank you

      I second that, understanding the technical side of brick laying or wall building would be really beneficial

      20 is super young. You haven't missed out or anything. I didn't start in building till I was 28 and I'm 40 now still at it.

    I don't lay brick, but when I saw him stack the bricks toward the end I was like are you sure you want to do that? 🤣

    It helps having good mortar, I had labours when I was on the trowel, they weren't all that.
    I found I always had to give them a tutorial, just to get started! 😬
    Good work fella!
