    Hi Steve & Alex. Just watch all your videos from start. Bought back a lot of good memories working with my dad. I came across your channel and then got hooked. I am painter and decorator so not sure why but just kept watching. I am off sick at the moment so watching you two has been keeping me busy. Watching Alex grow from the start to now is all down to you Steve. You should be very proud. Just going to start watching A&E after seeing you work with them. Thanks Steve & Alex keep the videos coming looking forward to the next one. 👍

    A really neat and well thought out job.
    The quarter bricks look absolutely fine.
    It's how you solve problems that count, not having "bricks made" and "dividing by three" etc.
    Brilliant job and if I lived there, I'd be as chuffed as little mint balls with that.
    "Well done, Steve and Alex."

    Armeg and Dewalt do SDS brick removal chisels. They're like a blunt scutch. They work brilliantly if you pre-drill the mortar like you do. Not so good on tight beds and perps. Try one definitely fewer snapped stretchers if you do.

  • @gbentley8176
    @gbentley8176 Рік тому +2

    Lovely job. Good to see a few quarter bats appearing. I always loved matching up jobs we had over 50 years ago. English, Flemish, EGarden wall and quite rare in the UK, Long bond, an american stretcher bond with double width joints. Even diaper work on occasion. Another old finish was lime coarse grit mix mortar requiring a rubber to point up to give beautiful flush pointing usually with hand made bricks. My favourite was working with Tudor thin bricks which I have internally in my house. Shame that cost and the rise of Lego industrial type housing stock has made stretcher the bond of choice. Keep up the good work, quality professional brickwork is so lacking in some builds I see, that it is embarrassing.
