By far the best video explaining how things are done. Welldone
Cheers mate, I do really appreciate that 🙂
I try my best to cover as much as I can 😃
Excellent work and excellent videos Craig. Great demonstrations and explanations really enjoyable and informative. The best that I have seen on UA-cam.
Whooor, thanks so much mate I appreciate that & I’m really grateful Henry. I say it a lot but I truly am like, I didn’t think many people would enjoy the type of content I’m producing. It really is humbling to read comments like this.
Thanks again Henry, have a great week mate 🤝
Brilliant video 👏👏👏👏 thanks for taking the time to show us Novices, Much Appreciated 👍
I subbed after watching your teaching vid
No problem 👍 glad it helps mate 🙂
Another absolutely cracking video mate!! Helps a lot 🔥🔥🔥
Cheers my mate, really great to see you here man 👊❤️ I’m buzzing you enjoyed it mate, thank man 🤝
At least you show people what your doing unlike these bricklayers who just love being on camera and running on the line.
Thank you David, I’m really trying to get out the most valuable content I can. For new starters in the game, my subscribers who enjoy my content to my clients being able to view our work in detail.
I appreciate that mate, thanks man 🙂🤝
Top video Craig. Well done 👏
Thanks Antony, appreciate that man & I’m glad you enjoyed it mate 😀
Excellent video Craig, really liking the longer videos. Very informative and that brickwork was clean even before jointing. Really hope you do fine the time to cover more of this build.
Cheers man Martin thats really kind of you to say that. I was a bit concerned while I was editing the video that I was speaking to much and people would lose interest. Really appreciate that feedback mate, thank you.
We recorded the whole build Martin 😃 I hope to have the next episode ready to share by the end of this week.
Cheers again mate, really appreciate the support Martin 🤝
Top man Craig, great in depth detail on the project. Enjoyed watching that mate 👍
Thanks Dave I appreciate it man. I tried stepping my game up with the recordings on this job. Super pleased to hear you enjoyed it mate 👌🤝

Thanks so much Keith, that mean a lot mate 🙂🤝 I’m really buzzing you enjoyed it 😃
Have a great week mate, it’s a bit weird up north today, this massive yellow thing is in the sky 🤣
Yes same here in Brum 🤣
@@keithallen8096 🤣🤣 it’s still out up here Keith 🤘
@@CraigToddBrickwork Where are you exactly Craig, you remind me of a guy I worked with from Bishops Auckland...
@@keithallen8096 I’m in South Shields Keith 👌 I’ve done a little bit over that way so we may have crossed paths at some point. Many moons ago like, I try staying quite local now.
How deep were the foundations Craig? Did they use re-bar? thanks
I’m unsure steve, we only did the brickwork. I assume they were at least 900mm and filled around 600 of concrete
@@CraigToddBrickwork thanks 👍
No
Np
Absolutely spot on video am brickie my self and u no your stuff mate can't beat doing private work as site work is just to easy everything marked out for u least on private work u have to us your head keep smashing it mate 🧱👌
Cheers man Dan I really appreciate that mate. I agree the site is easy, pinned corners and then just go 75mm all the way to the top 😂 dont get me wrong I do enjoy building houses, just not for the big players. To right, private work there is a lot more to think about. Appreciate that mate, tit means a lot coming from another bricky, to many enjoy slating others for no reason 😂 top bloke, cheers Dan 👊🤝
why not just measure off the house and mark it on the block? Use corner blocks so lines are easily adjusted.
great tip mate, just showing other ways thats all :) Your right though, it would have probably been better to show it like you mentioned
You make it look too easy mate - did a DIY extension a few years back and it was tough going!
That same with anything though isnt it mate, you’l make your work look easy to me 🙂
Well done taking on your extension mate ❤️
Good explanation but all I do is line on the front of existing line on the back n measure back
Cheers mate appreciate that man 👌
Its always nice to hear how others do it too, nice tip there Kris 🤝
@@CraigToddBrickwork u carnt square off something out of square just follow the lines. It all runs as one. U will notice it when the floor goes down
@@CraigToddBrickwork as I learnt when I was 17 build it wrong so to the eye it looks right
thats it mate, good tip there. Sounds weird but many times you need to build it wrong for it to be right :) nice one mate :D
No worries pal u will no what I mean as u do exstenions more. 345 only works at college
Good info Craig.I take it keegan was born around 94? 😁
Cheers Dave I appreciate that man, I really tried to stepping up my content on this job 🙂Nooooo, he’s a 2000’s baby. 2005 I think mate, he’s 18.
Get yourselves a cross line laser and detector mate. You'll set out with better accuracy in fraction of the time.
Cheers mate, we have the laser for our hights, i’l look into that though 🙂🤝
How come you didn't check your diags?
Good question, i would have but probably missed recording it or in the edits for what ever reason 🤦♂️
Isn’t 3,4,5 checking the diagonal ?
If you’ve got it perfectly square using 345 any measurement along the lines will prove it’s accurate. Pythagoras. GCSE maths had some use after all 😂
@@davidparry2301 you gi corner to corner 1st then you use the 345 to findcwere its out
@@marccooks7377 suppose it’s just the reverse way of doing it. Pull any line off a house wall at 3,4,5 and you know it’s perfectly square unless somewhere along the whole length of the house wall the line goes off
Would have pulled a line off the front of the house and measured from there
each to their own isn't it david :)
Use a corner block on your dead man blo around the
Lovely tip mate thanks for sharing that 🙂
@@CraigToddBrickwork Sorry mate that should of read use a corner block instead of wrapping it around the block so you can move it easier 👍
I understood it made no worries man 🙂
У нас всё не так.
how do you do it mate?
So glad i changed my trade bricklayers dont get paid enough from top to bottom. 20 years time served not worth a carrot. Build the country n get paid peanuts
Your kind of right mate, there is a ceiling that tops out around 50-60k isn’t there. I found anyway. I’m not the quickest anymore but give quality so still get a good take home.
I think if you stay in the game and want more out of it you need to be thinking and working outside of the box. Land developments for yous self.
What did you change to mate?
@@CraigToddBrickwork bought a recovery truck. Got a unit doing servicing n repairs on cars and vans. Also sell cars 90's n 00 classics
thats class kris, hats off to you for trying something new mate :) how long have you been going with that :D
@@CraigToddBrickwork about 4 months now things going good and busy
@@CraigToddBrickwork I worked with the same guy for 20 years who taught me. He's in his early 50's got sciatica had 4 knee operation n I thought I don't want to be like that in 15 years. Time for a change
You are making this way to difficult,use a wooden stake in each corner,pull your line around each stake pull diagonal measurement,when that measurement is the same you are good, you move the line up or down to get your elevation
Nice tip thank you 🙂
