It’s great to see how father and son work together so well. My son and I are the same, we think alike and it’s such a joy to go on jobs together. Well done boys.😁👍🇦🇺
Cheers Peter 🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽
Even though I am not in the trade myself I love watching these videos to see how its done properly. There is a fantastic relationship between the two of you as well.. I'd probably last an hour before my son threw a brick at me and I'd probably deserve it to be fair 😆
Thanks Matt 😆🧱👍🏽
I agree, it is channels like this that makes you tube a really good platform for entertainment
Subscribed, just dropped on this channel as it was on my feed for some reason
@timlowe3081 Thanks that’s great to hear . Welcome to our channel 🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽
@timlowe3081 🧱👍🏽
"Not bad" Says Alex. Knowing that is nothing short of excellent . Bloomin' brilliant to watch professionals at work - you are a great team and it shows.
Thanks very much Anthony 🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽
That brick job / patch (thumbnail) was hilarious.
😏🧱👍🏽
Wish I could find some handy blokes like you in Perth western Australia to do a couple of tricky jobs.
Good luck pal 🧱👍🏽🤞🏼
Cheers guys and Happy Falklands Day August 14th. Nice work enjoyed today episode
😁🧱👍🏽
Always a pleasure watching you two as you never sugar coat or stage the job and we can see the finishing touches.
Warts n all 😆🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Hell yeah!! You supply the boards and I'll bring the Sky Hooks 😏
😆🧱👍🏽
Looks like a strait forward job how unusual. I don't like how Alex is thought to be useless' from what I have seen he certainly pulls his weight Steve. I like the way you try to leave the property secure
, very professional a good video thanks best regards Ken
Thanks Ken 🧱👍🏽
It doesn't matter how many brakes you have it's still a professional job in the end .
😁🧱👍🏽
Another professional job done……superb work guys👍
Cheers 😁🧱👍🏽
Its just come to me. " Woody woodpecker" Do you remember that with his silly laugh 😁 Good job boys 👍👍
😆😆🧱👍🏽
Having worked in other peoples houses mainly on electric, it always amazes me that the home owners very rarely clear the work area and leave things in the way so you have to work around them .
These customers were very helpful 🧱👍🏽
Great job Steve and Alex as usual 👍🏻🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱
Cheers buddy 🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽
The fork lift scene reminds me of 'Del Boy and Gary the illegal immigrant' 👽🤣
😁🧱👍🏽
“Sssshhhhh don’t say that…” 😂 Should have dubbed that bit out too. 😊
😏🧱👍🏽
the chip munk sounds do make me chuckle in the time laps bits great job guys 😆
😆😆🧱👍🏽
Love the fast speed , reminds me of Benny Hill. Always love watching the dream team ....you show how to do a job properly and inspire others. Keep up the great hard work.
Thanks mark 😁🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽
Have to be honest when Steve was talking while it was playing at fast speed it reminded me of Alvin the Chipmunk 🙂
😆😆🧱👍🏽
7:14 As we used to say when I worked for Hit & Run Masonry, "It looks good from my house." :)
🧱👍🏽🤨
Great job as usual. That wall is a lot more solid and stable now with that heavy concrete lintel installed. It's always baffled me why houses were still being built well into the 70's with wooden lintels on the inner walls even though concrete and steel was used on the outer walls. Maybe building regs weren't so strict back then?
💪🏼💪🏼😁👍🏽🧱
More like inspectors looked sideways. Buildings back into the 40s had steel lintels.
🧱👍🏽
Another great job putting stuff right that some idiot could not do ,thanks for the video
Cheers Eddie 🧱👍🏽
good job so far cant wait for next video
😁🧱👍🏽
Grand stuff (as always) Bob (Weston super Mare)
Cheers Bob 🧱👍🏽
46 Hours to Go! 💥💥💥
Painfully slow wait but as always will be worth it 💯❤
😂🧱👍🏽
As usual another top job 👍
🤙🏾🧱👍🏽
10:27 loving the mock rock render on the 80s built house.
That is huge stones painted 😳🧱👍🏽
Prestressed lintels always have a bow in them some super long 1,s 4.2 or 4.8,s can end up being a split in the middle lol. They say they settle back down but that debatable 😅 top work lads.
Bricky will get over it as they say 😩😤🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild
Usual 😭😭😆🤟
🥱🧱👍🏽
Hi Steve &Alex. Nice job for you . Lintel bread and butter job for you two. I reckon you could do them in your sleep Steve lol. Have a good week 👍
Cheers buddy 😁🧱👍🏽
My first job in 79 were ripout and replace elevator entrances. We were supposed to do 2 every day. If the opening could not be secured by lunch, we were not allowed to start the second one. These were occupied buildings. I did that for 2 years before the company switched to new construction only.
My very first day I lightly grazed a (broken) glazed tile early in the morning and it bled like crazy. I still have the scar on my wrist.
35:30. Do you ever cut 2 for odd spaces? Like 12'' + 6'' = 18". split it in half gives you 2 pieces 9'' each. The cuts don't stand out so much.
We both have a few scars too 😬😆.
Yes would try to make every job look right 🤙🏾🧱👍🏽
Council job. Definitely a council apprenticeship.
Maybe but my bet is on a heating engineer 😒🧱👍🏽
Probably best to read Sean Carroll's book 'Something Deeply Hidden'. There are any number of universes where this is a probable outcome.
👍🏽🧱
you need a couple of RAAC lintels in there, job done, good for 2 weeks at least.
At least they should be a bit lighter lifting them in with my dodgy hip . A bit of Thompsons painted on to keep ‘em dry jobs a good n 😆😆🧱👍🏽
Steve Alex I noticed your scaff boards not locked into trestles.
I used to drill 4 x10mm holes centre of corner boards near the ends and drop in 4x 10mm bolts left hanging to stopside movement.Holes drilled just inside of side cross bars..... If i feel off now at 71 i would never recover..Malc
😁👌🏼🧱👍🏽
That’s makes sense to me to 👍
@malcelwell7209 🧱👍🏽
Nice one Guy's normally skilled Brickies do this when a Client refuses to pay up!!
😂🧱👍🏽
I am just curious how much something like this would cost? I know each job would be different, just a ballpark figure would be interesting.
No such thing as a ball park figure unfortunately 😬🧱👍🏽
Why do the stupid people think that Alex doesn’t do anything, this father and son team are brilliant , that lad is leaning all the time. And they think that all that work is done by Steve come on people give the lad a break 👍💪
Thanks Malc 🙏🏽😁🧱👍🏽
Well said Malc it’s great to see father and son working together so we’ll👍
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽
“What’s 2100 in metres,?” Seven foot! Absolute classic.
😏🧱👍🏽
I bought some OSB last week. It is a true 4 feet by 8 feet.
@Simonsimon-fy3hq 🧱👍🏽
Worse thing is I immediately said seven foot to myself lol. Those of us of a certain age routinely swap from imperial to metric but somehow one will mean more than the other at varying times which can lead to a little confusion.
Great work guys 👍 Quick question, is there a reason you didn't bed the tray into the the joint above the concrete lintel, as opposed to nail/silicon it?
I think there was a pipe in the way 🧱👍🏽
Great work gents. Sorry to be thick but as someone who knows nothing about building, is there a reason you don't use one piece lintels?
We did explain in the video so maybe another watch 😏👍🏽🧱?
Awesome video, when the next live stream Q&As
Thanks .
When I can’t persuade Alex 😆🧱👍🏽
All that work just for a window a brick and a half wider, doesn't seem worth the expense, but nice job guys 👍
Plus extra room for units where the door was 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild I get converting door to a window, but without making it wider so no need to disturb old lintel ect .👍
Extra light 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Lightbulb 🤣🤣
Cut up one of these old salvaged angle irons to about 15" sections and some 4" secctions. Drill a few holes in them. Screw the short lengths on the joists as hangers and then rest the longer sections on these, between the joists and then fix to the joist fill masonry to stop the droppers.
🧱👍🏽
What he said! Waste not want not 🤟
🧱👍🏽
hi steve and alex, do you go as far as rochdale as we need trust worth builders for a 2story extension
Thanks for asking but we don’t work that far out unfortunately 😬🧱👍🏽
@SteveAndAlexBuild hi if i send you plans could you give a rough estimate how much it cost as some builder is saying 120k
Sorry but pricing isn’t my strong point and we never take on jobs that big so I can’t help I’m afraid.
120 k a lot though 😳🧱👍🏽
so hard trusting someone in building trade
Which brick is the gold one
🤷🏼♂️
Cant believe the shite that was above that door
It’s too common unfortunately 😒🧱👍🏽
In the universe where it's requested by the customer because toothing out and matching the bricks would cost too much.
I’ve never heard in 36 years the customer say just lash it in so it’s Cheap. The customer only sees it once the heating engineer/ plumber is gone when it’s too late . 😒🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Well in my 48 years in the trade, mainly on new build sites supplying bricklaying gangs to the main contractor, but occasionally being asked to do bits for customers that have moved in to a brand new house I have been asked to have a bricklayer pop over and do things like this, even with brick bat's they have dug up in the garden. I always turned these little bits down but trust me the customers who ask for things like this are out there.
🧱👍🏽
Shitty job you blokes had to do. Bloody good result. I love your attention to detail. G'Day from Matt 56yr old "Bricky" down under, Australia.
Hey Matt thanks very much 🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽
FYI, the part you speed through, is the part we really want to see.
🧱👍🏽
I wish you would turn up the volume on the microphone because we can turn the volume on the video down if to loud thank you so much
🧱👍🏽
7' 1 1/2" there abouts?
🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild lol about the only thing I know about the metric system is 305 mm to the foot
@GarrethandPipa 😆😆🧱👍🏽
🤠
🙄🧱👍🏽
Checking the lintel level when not enough gap above, they tried another way not so accurate. Tip guys, lay the spirit on its side on top.
🧱👍🏽
Where are the bricks manufactured?
The original bricks are made in south east England 🤢🧱👍🏽
Another job built by the Germans (Gerry built) ( sorry to our German friends)its a English saying ) you do seem to get the awkward jobs Steve and Alex its a good job Alex is there Steve not a job for you on your own.
Good job for leaving it secure boys.
For all those who nock Alex don't bother its obvious how much he dose as Steve hasn't needed to tell him. Best regards as always Ken
Thanks very much Ken 🧱👍🏽😁
Steve i ment drill all 4 boards near ends...malc
🧱👍🏽
In my neck of the woods wigan ha
😁🧱👍🏽
BRICK STORE ??. What country is this ..😅
Wigan 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild God bless Wigan, I should of known 📚 back to school for me.
😆🧱👍🏽
Hi guys dos Alex drive 😂
Not yet 🧱👍🏽
Have you been to this so called UNIVERSE? How many of these lights in the sky have you done bricklaying for? or is it just Earth?
Earth is part of the universe 😏🧱👍🏽
Like a bought one
🤔???
I can't make out a word of what the first guy is saying...
🧱👍🏽
No offense intended but the "clang clang" notification bell sound after the little Subscribe hand shows up is very jarring. I try to skip past it if I'm quick enough.
Argh!
😬😆🧱👍🏽
Pink mortar no cementone😕
It’s not coloured mortar 👍🏽🧱
Sorry man original mortar seemed like it has a pink hue.👍
Weak mix 😬🧱👍🏽
Seriously man, get that hip looked after whatever it takes. You don't realize how much life it will suck out of you if you just let it ride.... ask me how I know.
The doctors keep striking which keeps putting my op back 🙄🥺🧱👍🏽
I’m out of the construction trade for a very long time now, but my foreman would never allow such a wide opening in a brick/block wall without needles to support it.
I started to watch this, hoping to refresh my memory and learn how to do something, but this isn’t a how to video. The guys are using experience to get away with stuff you probably shouldn’t, but not explaining any of it.
A diy-er copying them would end up getting a spin in a white van, or perhaps even a black one, when the bricks above the opening came down on them and their air hats failed to deflect them.
So, if you want to learn how to relate to your son/father, this is for you.
If you want to learn construction, it’s not.
🙄
That's what use old foke do talk to people unlike the young foke who make grunting sounds 😅
🤣🧱👍🏽
You don't have to be a professional bricklayer to know that rectangle is A) Done wrong and B) How to do it right. How can someone make such a horrible mess like that. I can understand not matching mortar. That is completely forgiveable. Not matching bricks... Ok. You can't always find the same bricks. But that mess.......
It is so common unfortunately 🫣🧱👍🏽
What cant you say on a youtube video? Asking for a friend
🤷🏽🧱👍🏽
Safe to skip the first 10 minutes of this, but be careful after that. They go in fast mode for a lot of the important stuff, after all the guff at the beginning.
If you don’t like it don’t watch 🤷🏼♂️👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾
Could have match the original mortar better, why didn’t you source some lighter sand, to archive that???
If you had done, in time it would look like it was the original build and not a modification!!!’ Tidy work though, shame about the mortar not matching!!!’ ຈل͜ຈ
.
You haven’t seen it fully dry
Yep I did see it after it dried I wouldn’t have commented otherwise!!!’ OK I suppose, but could do better, it’s one of my pet peeves, of course you may not have a matching sand available, and the whole wall is a bit of a hotchpotch, but it was a better match than the cowboy’s that patched the hole, what with different bricks and a very dark mortar, that was no match at all.!!!’ It’s to often overlooked by less professional brick layers, and from what you say, you did at least try, keep up the good work, and always try to match the existing mortar, just makes for a better finish, if you get it right, it should be impossible to tell the new work from the original build.!!’ But you know that, so I give you 8/10 ຈل͜ຈ

Wow these guys should embarrassed to put their name to this, in this short video there is more wrong than right the customer is obviously construction ignorant, not a hard hat in sight , the door should have been removed first as it restricts access and a temporary stud and polythene screen erected to separate the work from the kitchen , that pre stressed lintol should have a minimum seating of 150 mm and beaded on concrete pad stones or engineering brick not 7nt thermal breeze block, the acrows should have been nailed to the timber support and it stitched to the joists to prevent the acrows moving the wrongs are endless , Steve & Alex are cowboys .
Yes haw 🤣🤣
