I would honestly love to work with female bricklayer's, flirting with men just feels weird after a while.
Scott Geoffrey lol
yeah it's starting to feel weird too..
The woman need to say at home and look after the kids or Australia and the west will fall due to mass immigration!!
Same
Scott Geoffrey I’ve only ever seen and worked with 3 in my career. There wasn’t any flirting going on, they were very professional. Two of of the three were top notch. The other one, well let’s just say 12 inch blockes are heavy. No one doubled up on them back then, now a days it’s required by OSHA.
This is a real woman. A true feminist. Need more like her in the world.
Never doubt someone's ability to do anything. She can do anything she puts her mind to. I really admire her.
The most real statement is "I built that". That's what it's all about!
100% agreed! Standing back and looking at a job well done is what it's all about!
Facts 😂
Jonathan Brennan :
Spot on m8.
It's called "job satisfaction!"
Im fourteen years old and today is going to be my first day at work bricklaying with my uncle. Im also a female and i was having alot of doubts. This video helped me soooooo much. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
Dashia Frank hope it worked out for ya.
Great work! Hope it worked out
Did it work out?
I think she died
I’m curious to see if she’s still helping her uncle. Or was it just a one day kinda help?
This right here made me smile, I like seeing someone with a dream accomplishing it, women can be just as good as male brick layers sometimes even better.
@Freddy Fazbear Pop up to Jon Mould’s replies to Scott Geoffrey’s comment above for a good laugh 😂.
Why would they be better just because they're women though? Makes no sense lol.
Good on you girl, we need more like you
I just finished my pre-apprenticeship training and I'm a girl. I am coming out of the program, top of my class, which consists of 26 guys. I am currently out shop foreman and every single one of them respects the work I do. I love bricklaying and would encourage other girls to become bricklayers. There is nothing like the sense of satisfaction you get when you put your trowel down at the end of the day and you've managed to lay more block, straighter and more level then the person next to you.
Being proud is good. Being arrogant is another thing altogether. I highly doubt you are working on a crew and doing better/more work than experienced bricklayers. You just started. It takes 5 years to master the craft. The apprentices I work with who are fresh out of school know what the tools are and what the material is called. That is about it. None of them can keep up with experienced bricklayers and for good reason. They are learning. I teach apprentices to concentrate on quality over quantity. Do it right and speed will come naturally over time.
Nikki Radant well done
Reading isn't your strong suit either, apparently. She said she is doing more work on the job than the person next to her (read last sentence of her comment). I stand by what I wrote. Defend her all you want. Just don't post rebuttals to my comments. I don't care what you think about anything.
Bullshit
I hope your actually good at your craft, and the guy are just staring at you when your working.
The best bricklayer I have ever seen is a woman, she is the head bricklayer at the Royal Palaces in London and is in charge of a team of bricklayers and the quality of her work is outstanding, to look at her you would never believe she is a bricklayer. Gender is irrelevant, quality is far more important.
Yeah right?
I kid you not, she is a small grey-haired old lady but her brickwork is next level, google "Hampton court chimneys" I have seen her rebuild these. and I have seen her rebuild tunnels and the huge wall above the cafe at Kensington Palace, go have a look at her work and then tell me she is not a class above the rest.
28 years bricklayer and still loving it would love to work alongside her on any site... great to see a female bricklayer
Brick layer vs brick mason. Who would win in a fight
Proof is in your work ethic, everyone has to labor before picking up a trowel
I'm a retired bricklayer after 52 years on the trowel I have 3 sons I'm happy to say none of them are bricklayers I would be distraught to have a daughter bricklaying
I worked with a female builder. She was a better builder than me.
Well done, I'm a qualified English brickie with city and guilds craft certificate, advanced craft certificate, O.N.D & H.N.D in construction and you r the only female bricklayer I've seen. I've seen a couple of painter and decorators, O and one girl gas fitter, again, well done.
Is it shit on ur body?
Most women can't do it. I didn't see her laying any cement blocks. This trade in the USA includes block, stone and most guys do concrete work as well. Unless special treatment is given and a woman is only required to lift light things, forget about being a bricklayer. I have seen several females try the trade where I live. Actually hired one gal. They all quit the trade because they couldn't handle the physical labor and heavy, repetitive lifting required. It is hard work that cripples strong men over time. I can't imagine what 25 years would do to a woman.
Spot on. I don't think any guy doubts a woman can do most jobs a guy is doing, but when it comes to the differences between us then it becomes a different story. No different to a guy doing 'womans work', men aren't that good at being secretaries for example, we can't listen and type like they can, we can't even drive properly trying to listen to someone!
No reason to get so philosophical about it. She has a good helpful attitude AND she's nice to look at and smell, a breath of fresh air on a job site. No reason not to hire her and help her out when she needs it. Definitely no reason to be an asshole.
No one's being an asshole, just speaking their point of view. I guess that would make you an asshole too. smh.
oo0Spyder0oo Tell it to the 🖑! The 🖐 I tell you! ..Besides I wasn't talking to you.😒
Bart Man: As a former concrete contractor, I wholeheartedly agree with everything you said. 9o% of men can’t handle the heavy physical demands of this kind of work, let alone women. I’m not impressed to see a girl setting bricks. Let’s see her handle 8x8x16 blocks. ALL day!! In the heat of the summer!!!
way to go girl as an ex bricklayer it is satisfying to see some of the places that you have had a hand in building keep it up
I am impressed. Well done !
Good for you Tori!
A tip for ya!
When pushing a load uphill. Just take half load. You'll last a lot longer, and you won't be going home quite so knackered.
Good luck Girl!
I’m in love 🤤 she’s amazing and her voice is to die for.
well done mate. good onya for sticking it out ..its a tough job but has its rewards. ..
The hardest thing when teaching a lad to lay brick is getting his eye in. Girls and women have a natural ability to see things that blokes just dont notice. Its been explained as a throwback to hunting, when men were chasing moving prey. That focus on tracking moving things means blokes aren't interested in static things. Whatever the reason, girls learn to be neat quicker.
I think this is awesome. Thanks to all the men who are encouraging her. We need to challenge outdated patriarchal values and misogyny.
well done gal, off you go to Belgium, finest brick designs in the world, truly, when I am there my jaw drops, stunned with the crafty
best looking brick layer i,very ever seen
Bill Demarce only female bricklayer I know
Dunno, I've worked with some real hotties
Not fookin seen me 'av yer.................ha ha.
Awesome!!!
id love to see her bricky's smile
Everybody should fit in everywhere...respect
Good for you !!!🌎
Bricklayin´ is a Great profession...... you´re doin´ fine.... you prove it: Not working harder but working smarter..... Good luck..... greetin´s from Copenhagen Denmark.... (Maison too...)
Ben Bax you're a house?
is it just me came here to read comments without even watching it?
Ha ha best comment on here!!! True as well!!
Same
Good on you. 😊
u go girl I am only small but can put em in also i like how u r proud u should be :)
Why has this only got 79 thumbs up? Great going!
RUclips must be sexist, this is discrimination
Nice looking sand. Looks very fine .Over here they mostly use premixed stuff.They use builders sand in the mix. It's like laying brick on boulders.
Joe Quinn Pre mix is shit I do footings so make my own muck with mixer much prefer it pre mix is too sticky I think
All these people freaking out because they've over worked themselves all their lives and have to brag about how much they can lift. Specializing in an area is normal, not everyone has to be a stone mason and a concrete worker...they can just be a bricklayer if they want and do very well, especially running their own business and setting a good work pace for themselves or maybe working with decent people, who'd have thought of that?
Good for you
It's the right job for whoever loves to do it.
Being a bricklayer vs a laborer is very different
That's cool the only thing I have against women in the trade is here in the US they seem to want special treatment. If you get the same pay you do the same work bottom line.
Willie Cruz I was talking with a friend at church and she was saying how she had a friend who decided to go into welding because as a woman she would be payed twice as much because there are requirements on some work sites that women be involved. Good for her, but that’s a really shitty system.
@ConsideringOrthodoxy that’s a real shame. The salaries over here are the same but now they just have a quota. I have my doubts about companies like that, people will get sick of doing the same work and getting paid less
Done my apprenticeship early 90s
Was a female bricklayer on the course
She went on to work for a bespoke bricklayer doing all the nice fancy stuff
I went slogging on houses like a idiot 😂
Funny in the UK the arse fell out the industry a few years ago and lots of tradesmen found themselves with no work but now all of a sudden the jobs that the men had done for generations have just been gifted to the women. Suppose if women are made redundant one could claim it was down to sexism.
lol wtf are you on mate? you think all the trade jobs have been given to women? please tell me where mate ive never seen it, would love to go on site and see a shit load of hald naked chicks laying brick, you must live in some amazing fantasy land, ya paranoid sexist loser.
Get a smaller trowel,. Put less mortar on course. Clean back as you go, tap the brick with the reinforced side of the trowel, cleanliness is the key. Besides that good luck you have nice touch
Aaron Brown what kind of brick being laid has a lot to do with that.
bonanzatime
A brick is a brick mate and I disagree with the other guy , keep enough muck on the bed and what you take off is your next perp without going back to the spot board, but do agree with the tap tap
James Gill Started in masonry since 1985, I can assure you, you say 'a brick is a brick", if you mean, all brick is the same.? Absolutely not true. I hate brick that has to be tapped, but sometimes that's what you have to work with.. I've done enough of it to know; as far as skill is concerned, I won't say I'm the best, I've not seen anyone better. And I've done it all. brick, block, and stone. .. unfortunately I'm disabled now and I miss it.
bonanzatime
Same as that mate I have not found anyone who can match me for standard , I’m 22years in the game currently in uk but have done OZ , NZ and Europe , and my standard and speed is constant, sorry to here ur done mate but I know my stuff, you have to sacrifice a little speed for quality, if you don’t agree with a bigger bed and use the snots for perps, obviously you’ve never tried it , it helps with speed and maintain quality, compared to muck slinger who stand 65 mm higher than you because all the shit under their feet 😆
James Gill No I wasn't disagreeing with that part of your comment. Yes, generally that's how us Americans do it (at least the old school)- spread the bed joint appropriately, lay the brick, cut the excess squeezed out mortar and use it to butter the next brick (bricklaying 101). But what I was saying is (at least here in America) there is a variety of different kinds of brick, different sizes and physical properties that require different techniques of laying them, not to mention different weather and mortar will dictate how to lay the brick. .. Back in the 1987 we had a couple of British masons (2 guys) come work with us for a couple of weeks, nice guys, unfortunately they just couldn't keep with us (2 or 3 weeks is all they lasted). I don't where they went, I think they went back England?
I know I should point out how strong, confident, etc she is but she's pretty too.
Good job darling, love to jave a female double on site... any1 who dares to to our job deserves the opportunity regardless of gender
Good luck to you
if you can do the job, you can do the job
way to go. Brick laying is awesome.
U feeling ok hahaah
Working outside in all weather definitely ages you. I can't see many women who would want to look older than they are just because of the job they do.
That is what she wants to do. 😳
She's tiny, but Does look athletic enough. She's probably helluva soccer player.
Nice one
A female bricklayer walked on site . My mate said he recognised her from work somewhere but had never been on a site with women bricklayers . Talking a closer look he concluded yes he did know her from work except last time he'd seen her she was a man . Bricklaying has no gender barriers .
@Temur Mehmed That was a reasoned intelligent reply
whis you all the best lady your so awasome you go girl don't take no shit from this lads :) you are going to go so far make lots of money you be runner your own bussiess I can see it in Oz you be best bricklaying girl out they :) from your friend Ryan from England I am bricklayer too want more lady's go in to bricklaying in England :)
I only saw one woman in 7 years of mansonry ... she was not able to lift the archytecturo stones, she was not able to do the scaffolding... after 1 week she left crying poor girl
12” split face. I don’t think I need to say any more 😂😂😂😂😂
you could say landscaping block or 4"x8"x16" precast
aydenfrac Nothing makes my muscles sing like some splits. My body thanks me by shutting down when I’m trying to drive home.
How bout those heavy ass door headers...or garage precasts....
Well, she might be able to build a wall, but she'll never piss up it
The Spaniel Inquisition She'll need somebody to hold her up by the back of the knees to do that. But she Can do it.
Are there school in the U.S.A????
Nice
😍😘🥰
Guinness hottest bricklayer award. I was a bricklayer once, one of the ugly ones tho. before I got smart & became a sparky.......awee snyap!!
is she still at it ? in us nj we had a bunch not one stayed past yr 2
She is Ukrainian girl. She lives on Carpathian Mountains it is western Ukraine. many girls in Ukraine likes work. So boys study Ukrainian language and then you can speak to this wonderful girl. Good luck with Ukrainian language.
My mom can do that. Sometimes the walls end up horrible but she was a seamstress when she was young, I can't blame
Rose or Marshalltown?
Show this to jordan peterson
Im waiting for women groundworkers that lay full kerbs
Why? sounds like you are a bit of a loser if you are.
This chick is freaking gorgeous. The fact that she's a bricklayers makes her even hotter, and badass.
Does your sister turn you on too?
@@m.mozdemir Only when she slips me a roofie
@@Floridaman8783 you from tassy?
Молодец👍
She is really nice ...
Trowel is way too big for us American bricklayers....
I'm coming to Australia just to work with women brickies
Only ever meet one Female Bricklayer she was very neat, but she never lasted don't think she like it during the winters
Yep the hardest thing about it is winter time around wet damp building sites,not good
Good.... but don't stay a brick layer forever. Up skill... and become a site supervisor etc or better still become an employer.
After reading a bunch of comments, I can now see why bricklayers are bricklayers. More like blockheads. A whole bunch of sexist tough guys on here, LOL. Glad I used my brain to make my money and not my back. Carry on tough guys...
6milesup My I suggest reading all the comments and not judging us to harshly. We bricklayers use are brains as well as are brawn to make are living. True most days it’s like being on a high school football team, we tease, poke fun, and laugh all the time. You really get a sense of the content of there character threw there actions. Some are assholes, but when the chips are down where there for each other. If she wants to be a bricky power to her. I think she sees what I see, art. Structurally sound art properly proportioned ,and aesthetically pleasing. To be philosophical it’s the best representative of the human life in my option. Do your quit when life gets to heavy? Do you carry on when your tired? Sure blocks are heavy, but at the end of the day something stands that will stand for longer then we will, are legacy is In Every bricky, every piece of stone, and every slab of concrete. Are work will live on and inspire future generations. Can you say the same of a power point presentation?
GOT THAT BEER GUT GOING ON
That’s one brick layer I want to Lay !
that would make you a brickie-layer
30 years ago I was told by my employer there would be women doing my job in the future, I'm still waiting.
Waiting for what? for a woman to take your job from you? Wierd. There are obviously female brickies out there, did you not watch the video? What were you expecting when your boss told you that? for there to be more women than men bricklaying? If so you are fucking stupid lmao! There will never be due to women not wanting to do the job, doesnt mean they cant. Anyone can lift a brick lmao.
Damn
Has she worked in very low temperatures.....? what about her hands after?
Arcturusgold it's not bad under the tarps with heaters going. I'm in Canada too
And cotton gloves save your hands even though I go raw in the summer
I think my company is sexist, they won't let me on the wall!
wow i need her for a wife lol
Good for her. But she is not even close to equal to her male co-workers. Skill and hard work only go so far. She's not 6 foot 4. Can't lift 10's or 12's over her head all day. She would slow the men down and be sent home in Chicago! Trust me. I do like her but it's a brutal trade. Slow others down and ur gone. I have been let go for being the only short guy 5'9" and not being able to reach as high without raising scaffold more often. You end up carrying around a block all day to stand on to be 6'4". Rant over. She's awesome but will never be on top in that trade!
Its not whether she can do the job, its how fast she can do it compared to a guy.
probably about as fast... dont see why she wouldnt be able to, she clearly has some muscle on her, and womens muscles are always smaller so thats probably quite a bit for a chick. Im sure she is fine at her job.
@@dorrisgonnawreckyou7111 Yeah im sure she is "fine", thats my point entirely. i dont want fine, i want my bonus! and that means a strong and fast team. If she can lay blocks all day as fast as a guy cool, but i seriously doubt she can even lift a block one handed.
jordan peterson brought me here i guess she's the 1% he's talked about
Все равно она не сравнивается с каменщиком который работает три дня без зарплаты и ворует хлеб в ларьке.
The benefits of being a female brick layer is once you get married & settle down & have kids , you can concider yourself retired..instead of continuing for 30-40 years until your body is stuffed.
bricklaying is a labourers job, better off learning a trade
You will break your back by 27. If by then you haven't started your own business and employ staff, you are screwed.
I have no issue with women working on site, but why would they want too... its back breaking work... over time you can ruin your body... back... knees etc.... get covered in shit every day and the wages are shite nowa days....
Bricklaying is easy. They just make it look hard.
Must really love laying bricks or it ain't worth it shit money, shit work, when things slow down guarantee brickies start cutting there rates where there lucky to make wages.....All yours Mugs Game.
"Its just an illusion that you have to be big as a bricklayer" Lol
You never seen a short brick layer? i have, seen plenty with less muscle on their arms than this girl has too so..
I like this video, but I also don't. It's right, women can easily be bricklayers, but it's a shame that it misses the point when it had the opportunity to hit the nail on the head.
Don't fight fire with fire if the battle isn't about heat. Can women be bricklayers? Yes, absolutely; can they be good quality bricklayers? Certainly, they can and it sucks that (like in nursing) there's a subconscious and non-malicious idea prevalent throughout society that says women can't be good bricklayers (and inversely that men can't be good nurses.)
When someone says a woman can't be a brickie/ good brickie and you ask why, the usual answer is too much hard work, too much strength and too much slog labour. Laying bricks isn't that. People need to get off the "women are just as strong as men, what a woman can do a man can do" train because it's absolute bullshit. Women are not as strong as men, women cannot labour as hard as men, sorry - it's a fact of life. That doesn't mean however that, among other things, women can't lay bricks.
LAYING bricks isn't hard labour. There are plenty of jobs women *can't* do. How many female concrete layers do you see? Scaffolders? Oil drillers/roughnecks? Forresters? Exactly, almost zero throughout the entirety of those industries. It doesn't mean women absolutely can't do those things, it's just that those things are saturated with constant labour and exhaustive heavy lifting. Even fewer women do any of those things than bricklaying.
Seen any skinny scaffolders, concreters, roughnecks or foresters? Yeah, me neither. Seen any skinny (male) brickies? Yes, plenty. That should tell you something. Pulling equipment off trucks/utes trailers - hard work. Mixing mud and pushing barrows around the site - hard work. Setting up and taking down heavy scaffolding - hard work. Bricklaying? Even a 5-year-old can pick up a brick. Laying bricks is exhaustive and repetitive, it makes your shoulders and back sore, but it's not hard work. When people (as in the majority of society) Learns to differentiate feeling exhausted or tired of doing something that's extremely physically demanding (like lifting something heavy) then we'll realise all 'hard work' is not the same and 'hard work' isn't exclusively out of the reach of women. Exhaustive constant physical heavy labour such as shovelling and barrow pushing may be out the reach of the majority of women but bricklaying itself is a different flavour of labour and a different skill.
Laying bricks is an art. It's repetition and feeling. Women have a keen eye for detail, probably more so than men. Women have an enormous potential to be bricklayers because they've got that eye for detail and that feeling; the likelihood is that they may take to the art of laying bricks true because they have a better eye to it. They may not have the endurance of an 8 hour day in the heat like men but do they need to check a brick/ course 10-15 ways with a plumb or a level like the first-day apprentice? If they just have an eye and the fine motor skills for laying down bricks true with minimal checking and adjustment then it stands to reason they have more time to either lay more bricks or lay at a slower pace, although maintaining the same average brick count through spending the majority of that time putting bricks in rather than checking work.
Of course, I'm just speculating from what I know and what I have read academically, with very little real-world data it's hard to distinguish if this is a mere hunch or a true that holds water. Sure, a female brickie will reach points within the job that challenges her lesser strength, maybe loading and unloading heavy tools and equipment is suited better to the labourer, maybe she can't erect her own scaffolding easily (maybe she can) but maybe she also has an ability that society hasn't discovered for laying fast? Sure there are young guns out that that lay like machines and do it all, in any industry, men will likely always be the best of the best, but the top isn't indicative of the entire industry. How long does it take for those 20 somethings to learn to lay like absolute beasts? 4-5 years? I'd say a lot of them probably start between 15-17 and hit their prime in their early to mid 20's. What is the skill of laying brick is more suited to women? What if (most) women never reach that point of beast mode, but then find out what it took the 16 and 17-year-old boys to learn in 3 to 4 years, they picked up in 18 months? We all know women mature faster mentally and we all know we can trust the majority of teenage girls with more responsibility than the majority of teenage guys, but what if that's a superpower? Maybe it's being wasted right now in society by having 18-20 something young women being store managers and supervisors in retail positions to save on having a middle-aged full wage worker supervise a clothing boutique in a department store?
There are plenty of young guys with their heads screwed on that are amazing brickies and they're not useless and immature, but they don't have quite the same level of executive functioning in their brains (foresight/ decision-making ability) as both adults and young women the same age. There are plenty of young guys you can trust on site to not be useless and not fuck around, but when they're doing a simple job they know with few minor complications, their ability to make decisions, to manage multiple tasks, to plan and analyze consequence webs (their executive functioning) isn't really being called into use. Their weakness - the ability to deal with unknowns on site and problems greater than a minor hiccup, is the strength of young women. That's why 15 and 16-year old girls can babysit small children so easily. Women have an innate heightening and earlier development of executive functioning skills.
If I may call a hunter-gatherer argument; before 'society' what did men and women do? Men hunted, women gather berries and looked after children and campsites. Men tracked and trapped animals, defended territory, etc. Men are sprinters - they walk and walk and walk and then at a moments notice, fight or flight adrenalin kicks in and they explode with energy and strength to capture and kill and animal, then they drag it back to the campsite. Women patrolled campsites, they looked after children, they cooked, they gathered berries and fruits. They bent down to pick up children when they bent down to put them down, the bent and reached to pick fruits nuts and berries and through hundreds of thousands of years their eyes evolved to be adept to noticing small changes in shape, size and colour so they could easily tell the difference between safe berries and the slightly smaller or slightly lighter coloured berries. Then they also cooked and looked after babies and children at the same time, they patrolled the campgrounds and neutralised threats to the children such as small aggressive animals in the vicinity. They did several tasks at once, splitting their concentration and constantly weighing risks and consequences to keep to camp and children safe. The spent a lot of time bending and doing repetitive arduous movements (women still do today) seemingly without breaking a sweat over their long-lasting endurance - Yet ask them to pick up something not all too heavy for a man and watch then crumble like a house of cards.
Is anyone (who's still reading) starting to see the potential resemblance between women laying bricks and what women do and have always done? Tori says in the video that at the end of the day, her male co-workers are exhausted but she's seemingly not so much. Is anyone else feeling that maybe that's because bricklaying is a very paced marathon trade? Each brick is light and easy to lay but the repetition grows arduous. Where men struggle to hold endurance, female brickies may more naturally take to the repetition like ducks to water - in the same way women have been repetitively bending for berries and children for thousands of years. Where men may have to look twice to check their work (until years down the track where they've mastered the technique and are in their prime) female brickies may more naturally have an eye and a feel for the brick being placed right and they may gain a better place sooner than men. Where people think bricklaying is a hard laborious task that requires great strength, it may simply be a repetitive art more suited to a marathon runner with a keen eye than a sprinter with the explosive power and determination of a bull. Where you may be weary leaving a young male apprentice for fear they may not manage construction problems so great without the experience to fall back on, a young female brickie may be more attuned to handle the minor catastrophe effectively and take a miscommunication of trades or an error in the drafting and quickly remedy the situation and move forward in construction without leaving a domino knock-on effect of building errors, prior to the years of experience young males are required to gather in order to fall back on in such situations.
It's a shame there aren't more female brickies, or female tradespeople because despite their weaknesses (mainly sustained heavy physical labour) they certainly have some strengths they could bring to construction. They say work smarter, not harder. Bricklaying may be hard, but maybe it's not a 'hard labour,' maybe it's a 'smart labour'?
Working outside ages you over time and it would be worse for girls.
