I get to announce some exciting news in this video which I'm looking forward to share properly with you all in the upcoming weeks! Have a brilliant week at work and enjoy the sun!
Thank you so much for your kind words! im thrilled to hear that you've noticed and appreciated the improvement in photography with each episode. we works hard to capture the essence of each scene and add artistic touches that enhance the visual experience. It's truly rewarding to know that our efforts are being enjoyed by viewers like you. ill continue to strive for excellence and bring you even more captivating visuals in the future. Thank you for your support!
Izzy you just keep blasting this up. No matter what gets in your way. Awesome to see what you can do yourself. I personally find it easier working on my own but can be tiring esp in the last few weeks with the weather. Takes its toll on the body. Great work. !😊
Thank you for your kind words, Andy! I appreciate your support. Taking care of yourself is essential, especially during challenging times. If you need any assistance, feel free to reach out!
Wow, incredible, amazing, Izzy! Nothing more needs to be said! Enjoy the London trip, and great that you're getting either Drew back, or someone else to help you out! 👍 😅
Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement! I appreciate your recognition of the effort I put into my work. I'm glad you find the brickwork fantastic, and I'll continue to strive for excellence. Your support means a lot to me, and I'm grateful for your positive feedback.
Great effort Izzy as always...!! Hope ya new labourer turns up ..😁 And just a little piece of advice if I may... Lifting conquers up with one hand/arm will eventually catch up with ya.....and in time you'll pick up pulls/injuries they will hang around for long time.... we're in this game for a long time,and we got to look after ourselves..!! Also a horse hair brush is a game changer.
Thank you for your continued support and kind words! I appreciate your advice and concern for my well-being. You're absolutely right, it's important to take care of oneself in the long run. Avoiding overexertion and using proper lifting techniques can help prevent injuries and ensure our longevity in the field. I'll keep your advice in mind and consider incorporating a horse hair brush into my routine. If you have any more tips or need assistance with anything else, feel free to let me know! Ive got a new video coming out tonight for you buddy :)
Thank you so much! I appreciate your compliment on the brickwork. It's definitely a lot of hard work, but I'm dedicated to doing it on my own. I understand that it can be physically demanding, and I appreciate you empathizing with the effort. Your support means a lot to me! New video out later on today! hope your well brother
Thank you so much for your kind words and support! I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoy my videos. Your encouragement means a lot to me, and I'll keep working hard to create content that you love. If there's anything specific you'd like to see or any suggestions you have, feel free to let me know. Thanks again for being a part of this journey!
In the good old days we used to call them "thermal expansion joints" . It's all to do with walls expanding when they get hot , and contracting when they get cold .If you look at any wall there will be a crack half way along the wall ,it wont be very big maybe minute and you might not find it ,but it will be there . Thermal coefficients of expansion , lets you work out how big the crack will be .
Your feed popped up on my channel, so I watched a couple. I have to commend your work ethic, it is truly outstanding. I have an extension (2 floor, bedroom over garage) to start in the next 18 months, I can only hope to find somebody to your standards.
Had a thought, when building up the tier course nearest the house would it not be faster to stay in that spot and build up to day finish height? Essentially extending the course by a single brick, but going up vs long. Been a chippy for 30 years and it seems to me that there is a ton of wasted movement running the full length then coming back and doing another course. I’m no bricklayer I will say that, but curious minds do wonder
That's an interesting thought! While it may seem more efficient to build up the tier course nearest the house first, there are a few factors to consider. One important consideration is the overall stability and structural integrity of the wall. By building the full length of a course before moving up, it helps distribute the load evenly and ensures a solid foundation. That being said, different bricklayers may have their own preferred techniques based on their experience and specific project. It's always great to have curious minds and explore different approaches to construction. Thanks for sharing your perspective as a seasoned chippy! thanks so much Max, new video later on today
@@IzzytheBricky cheers for the reply. The day you stop learning as a tradesman is the day you should quit. Always something new to learn. I can’t lay bricks to save my life, but I’ll fire a roof on anything you build. Lol.
@@IzzytheBricky We good mate. I popped up to Burnley last month. Rhino tools. Got some gear for when needed . He Ollie knows you of course. Got a 11" Leather handle marshal. Ooooo
Absolutely! Bricklaying techniques can vary depending on the type and characteristics of the bricks being used. Different bricks may have different sizes, textures, strengths, or requirements for compo application. changing the technique to suit the specific bricks helps ensure the best results in terms of structural integrity, aesthetics, and durability.
either skin should never be above 6 courses before backing up. So nhbc states. Also clockwork should have expansion joint max 6 mtrs, 12 in brkwrk, absolute 15 in brkwrk if no openings .
Love your work been a brickie for 30 years but these days do lot other trades, so dont lay much as i would like. Think your work is spot on, only thing is down hear we hever use the insulation you use we use Recticel, Celotex amongst others. Is there a reason why you don't other than price
Just stumbled across this channel. I've not got a clue about bricklaying or the building trade, but still found this really interesting. I never knew you could lay breeze blocks straight onto the 'black plastic material' (sorry for the useless description!). Keep up the hard work buddy. Thanks for the upload.
Thank you for stumbling across the channel and giving it a chance! I'm glad to hear that you found it interesting, even without prior knowledge of bricklaying or the building trade. It's always exciting to introduce new perspectives and information to viewers. Yes, laying breeze blocks directly onto black plastic material is a common technique. Your description is not useless at all, don't worry! I appreciate your kind words and support. If you have any more questions or need further information, feel free to ask. Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment!
@@IzzytheBricky your welcome. You remind me of my younger me when I was into brick laying. Now my son is into it and wants me to show him a thing or two. Good I’m glad can’t wait to watch it.
Thank you for your support! I'm honored to be your favorite brickie on UA-cam. While Stu may have his specialization and Collison has his own style, I'm glad to know that you appreciate what I bring to the table. I'll keep doing my best to provide content that you enjoy.
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 !
You raise a valid point! Managing a construction schedule as a solo worker can indeed be challenging. While having additional bricklayers would certainly expedite the process, there are a few strategies I employ to stay on track. These include careful planning, efficient time management, and prioritizing tasks based on their importance and deadlines. Additionally, I sometimes seek assistance for specific tasks that require more hands. However, I appreciate your suggestion, and if the opportunity arises, I'll definitely consider working with a team! :)
@@IzzytheBricky Last word on this Izzy if you put together a good team you make more money, take on more work and happier customers because job gets done in timely fashion. I was a bricky as well did commercial, industrial, government jobs and some residentual. . It also allows you to take a holiday with work run by foreman you trained. Enjoy life!
You work to hard your only young once enjoy it,good content as usual,did not say where to put expansion joint is 5 meters or six?enjoy your pint or should i say did you enjoy your pint😂🤣😂🍻
You will f♡¥* your wrists and elbows up laying conkers one-handed and using a huge trowel. You're indestructible until you ain't. Drew has found that out and it will niggle him for the rest of his life. Look after yourselves, fellas. You do good work that will stand the test of time, make sure you both do too.
Excellent job as always mate keep up the good work what day you on fix radio so can listen in did you say Thursday? And hopefully drews back to help you out 🧱

Lifting conquers up with one hand/arm will eventually catch up with ya.....and in time you'll pick up pulls/injuries they will hang around for long time.... we're in this game for a long time,and we got to look after ourselves..!!
Also a horse hair brush is a game changer.

Varying bricklaying technique depending on bricks used. I never knew that. Every day is a school day.

Excelente trabajo saludos 👍👌💪🧱
cheers mate! hope your well
If the blocks are 7nm, be careful you don't end up with Tennis elbow. Don't sling them in one handed you will regret it 😉
thanks pete! appreciate your concern :)
look at you pic n dipping 👍
cheers buddy
Nice work mate build it overhand much easier
cheers buddy, appreciate it

got to say Izzy you my favourite brickie on youtube right now. Stu is more specialised but no better and Collison does what he does when he wants.
Thank you for your support! I'm honored to be your favorite brickie on UA-cam. While Stu may have his specialization and Collison has his own style, I'm glad to know that you appreciate what I bring to the table. I'll keep doing my best to provide content that you enjoy.

Must take an age jointing up if ur on ur own fill ur joints bed out for 5-6 and muck will be fine make life easy for urself
cheers buddy! yea definitely time consuming! new video later on...hope you had a good weekend
How do you keep a construction schedule when it's just you doing everything?? Seems a couple of extra bricky's would help!

you do know that you can get blocks that weigh less? Trust me you will regret this in later life 😀
Bit cringe mate, have to use a bigger trowel for pick and dipping, look how much mortar is missing at the back of the brick
cheers bro, ill try a bigger one. what size would u suggest
You will f♡¥* your wrists and elbows up laying conkers one-handed and using a huge trowel. You're indestructible until you ain't. Drew has found that out and it will niggle him for the rest of his life. Look after yourselves, fellas. You do good work that will stand the test of time, make sure you both do too.
thanks very much for your concern mate! swapped back to a small trowel again! new video today
Such a wasted movement when you’re scraping the excess muck
cheers mate, habbit i guess.
Excellent job as always mate keep up the good work what day you on fix radio so can listen in did you say Thursday? And hopefully drews back to help you out 🧱
thanks so much brother, really appricate your continued support! tune into todays episode, 5pm, to see how fix radio went..and the return of drew
