Hi Guy’s awesome block work, I felt the hard graft when watching the video loved the idea of first coarse and using it as a line for the blocks flat all the best Tony 👍 have awesome weekend
Hello guys, If you put him on fast play, man, then you gyus are fast !! Like it. And good music for the video. Keep up the good work. Greetings from a dutch carpenter.
Top work lads. Great channel. In ireland that's mostly what we layed, 4" concrete, 200-250 on average per day. Wreck your back/ joints. Thank god I'm out of the game now. Keep up the good work lads.
Another great job, they always show very good videos. I hope we can continue learning with their videos. Thank you for your time and your good advice so that we can learn to work as a team. Greetings from San Felipe chile
Funny when you layed the first row, wasn't sure what you were building. . . then the penny dropped. I do like blocks on their sides. Only one word for that wall then: "Proper". You make those heavy blocks look too easy. Look forward to the next part.
Nice job lads 👍🍺 was really getting into that, got to wait for part 2 now! Some Biffy wall that!! Looking forward to it being continued! Hope your both keeping well 👍👍
Top work as usual lads know how your back feels I've laid 450 blocks flat on a cow shed in 3 days this week the 18th course was a real challenge with no scaf but in holiday mode now off to zante Sunday for a chill week
Hi boys, monster wall 😱😱. I'll bet you couldn't straighten up for a couple of days Steve, that would've crippled me for about a fortnight 😂😂 Hope you boys have a great weekend Regards Tim
Nice vid that wall when the brick went on in end massive. Enjoyed chatting again my Internet has been so bad last few week could not get the chat on 👍👍👍
Wow 20 mm maybe they were drunk lol , is that wall 50 cm thick ? Looks like wienerberger is all over the place , is it used a lot in the uk ? , I believe it’s Austrian .. if not German lol .. nice job guys
Bricklaying Jay Puyenbroeck slack line like a washing line I think 😂. Yes wienerberger are big over here jay 💪🏼. And the wall was 550 mm at the bottom 🧱🧱👍🏽
The best bricklaying video on RUclips is building my house in Pakistan .you can also find it by Pakistani master mason . yeah well worth a look I've watched it loads of times now and I can't explain how bad it is in word's . I may try it through the medium of dance 😃
Love the block on flat,good earner! You still get paid the same rate for that guys? Site I was on years ago had 4” blocks on flat for internal walls. Thought we were millionaires until they told us it was a lesser rate than two 4” walls 🤷♂️ gutted😂
Bricklaying With Steve and Alex if I’m building a house or extension found I build it solid up to fgl which is usually 4 course on flat. Better than faffing with cavities in a trench plus it’s easy 💶💶 Enjoying your vids 👍
Nothing against the work lads, but who in the hell designed that abortion...that’s not so much a retaining wall, as a dam...it would have been better, faster and cheaper to have constructed in concrete. With a nice toe and reinforcing up into the wall base, them a concrete wall up to at least the height you reached at the end of this video...then a nice brick facing to hide the nasty concrete... A real labour of love in that ‘sodden ditch’...don’t know where they find the so called ‘engineers’ these days...

@@SteveAndAlexBuild I have it in the knees I have a mat like you 44 years of laying
@MarkSmith-hd5ez . Hip for me and it’s grim 😢🧱👍🏽
I don't understand why you don't just put up some shuttering and fill with concrete got to be quicker and cheaper if it is below ground? No ?
Greetingsbox It’s all up to the engineers 🤷🏽♂️🧱👍🏼
