Love the way Izzy edits his videos really top quality filming I’d say…Like the way the walls are built to accommodate the insulation rather than block work moving around etc! Quality hope you enjoyed the beer!
Pride in your work never goes unnoticed especially after you have gone home, any client with half an idea will see how clean the block work is and that will get you more work
Nice job pal 👍 you gotta look after ya back otherwise ya shagging days are numbered geez !! Bet the birds got some bangers bringing ya out bacon Sarny’s 👍
Very nice, mate. Your channel just popped up on my recommendations list, well impressed so I've subbed and now I can start making my way through your back catalogue! 👍
Awesome work there with that blockwork buddy! The inspector will be buzzing! Keep up the brilliant work as always, looking forward to the next one! 👌😁👍🧱🍻🍻
Ayup Rhys, cheers mate. 👍👍🍻 The usual inspector we have is a good mate of ours so we never have an issue, whereas this being a new one, wanted to make the right impression 😉😂👍👍 Have a great weekend buddy!
Looking good mate that job looks lovely that’s bollocks what someone said about the render cracking cause them starters are still into the existing at least 30mm if not more, enjoy the weekend mate hope ya got rat arsed at the pub five and drive 😂😂 take care bud
Nice job mate see youve cut your vertical dpc in good work just one piece of advice mate you should knock off render and make sure your wall starters go back to exsisting brick or blockwork of house render is a coat it cracks and can fail and ur extension is tied to it
Thanks David, got a load of stick ages ago for now having one..and after reading up on it, and reading what everyone was saying in my comments, I always put one up now👌👌 Didnt think about that at all mate, appreciate you telling me 😊 I'll make sure to start doing that 👌 have a good weekend David 😁
Thanks Richard! When I'm the only bricklayer on a specific job, it becomes my baby. So like to make sure things are bang on 👌👌👍Thanks again mate, enjoy your weekend! I'm going to enjoy a couple of drinks 🍻👌
Always good to check the first course quickly with a level. Not too much bed..smashing blocks down to the line makes everything belly out. Just depends how the blocks are really...if they are dry it ain't too bad..but when they are wet, they can belly out really easily
@@IzzytheBricky cheers for the reply in Ireland we use 7 Newton concrete for internal and external leaf I find that sometimes the Weight causes it to kick out we go up 6 or 7 courses usually
@@adamscanlon7098 it's a tough one mate..cos happens to me 50% of the time too😂 I guess u could check each course with a level to make sure it's not leaning out 😊😊💪🍻
Ayup mate I'm 27..believe it or not..still no beard to speak off😂😂😂😨🤦♂️ You will get there slowly mate..to be honest it's only the last year..year and a half where my confidence has really grown. The more things you do on your own. Even little things like setting out doors reading drawings..talking to the customers/foreman will all help you become more confident 👍👍👍 Give it time mate😊😊👌 Enjoy your weekend matey!

Cheers mate, thanks alot for the comment! Im searching for one currently, hopefully I find a decent one! Thanks for the support mate, enjoy the rest of your weekend mate!
Cheers mate yea the heavy ash ones..not quite the 7n concretes but not far off Jarm, door jam, door reveals 😉 Just how we say it here in Derby 😂😂 we're all backwards here Hope your well mate and not getting to soaked at work 👍👍💪
So correct on being the only bricklayer on job a prefer it that way also. Nobody to fall out with 😝😝👍🏻 Yeap always one movement required joint straight onto the block that’s been laid on the wall always done many can’t do it with falling over the shop lol the strain on the hand jointing when in hand is nonsense unless the feather light blocks. Not happening with the 7n concretes proper blocks lol
Haha yes mate! I think I saw someone on Instagram doing it like that.. I've need loads of lads do it, and with these jobs being hefty thought I'd try it💪 like u just said, no need to have block in hand when perping..unless it's a ultra light 👌👌 Have a good weekend mate! Cheers🍻🍻🍻😊
@@IzzytheBricky In Scotland buddy av never seen anybody perping it the hand think Ireland is same as we both use concrete blocks. 1 press in cut into the muck then boom straight onto block no faffing about. Same buddy have a good en 🤟🤟
Mate everyone has an opinion on the vertical damp and starter ties but if its on the plans then you follow the drawing. Yea we used to open the cavities out in the late 80s and 90s but ive not seen that asked for here in wales since then. Your doing a good job there Isaac love your pride in the job mate you can see you want to do it right. One bit of advice from an old git mate and just to help no criticism mate .Think about a labourer because all the reduced movements in laying a block is useless if your loading and mixing and topping up spots especially as u get up on first lift and second is even harder gables harder again. You will kill yourself at 40 you be finshed its to much trust me ive done it .listen no criticism like i said just trying to share some advice and knowledge as an old head mate .love the videos and your passion in the job along with your pride will see you good in bricklaying. Good luck isaac mate . Justin 👍
Cheers Justin! Yea the vertical damp is just dependent on the inspector I think. I'm trying to sort out a labourer currently 😊😊👌👌 Hopefully get one sorted soon! Hope you've had a great weekend buddy!
All good here izzy mate thanks apart from more rain.Good luck with getting a labourer mine are on the books they get holiday pay etc otherwise you never keep em food for thought for you . Good luck anyway 👍💯
Self employed, however most of my work i do is for a small company, in which 3 of us were all on price in a gang. Nowadays I just work on my own but I dont run the jobs as such..im just the bricklayer getting the job done💪💪💪
Always a debate about the vertical damp, I've built hundreds of extensions over 47 years and never done it once. My local authority BC don't like it as it weakens the building as wall ties aren't every 225 and them starters don't hold anything. To be honest if it was done properly the cavity should be cut in to make it continues which is something we used to do before wall starters came out when we used to tooth out. Trowel on top of the block Mmm 😁
I just find it funny you comment ‘wall ties’ without even watching the whole video. Do you really a think a bricklayer building an extension making a video, would forget wall ties? Lol
why dont you just leave your trowel on the block you just laid rather than carry it back down onto the block youre laying then lifting it back up again?
I would love to get onto private work and stay away from building sites!! They are becoming worse to work on, if i didnt have 5 years work on my door step i would be gone, i think private work is the way forward for most bricklayers

Love the trowel on the block and lift it into place. Reducing your movement and twisting must make it more efficient too
Cheers mate, yea I like that little trick👌 all about being efficient 🙂

How do you keep the bottom of the blocks flush with the block down below any tips to stop them from kicking out at the bottom

N your right wot you say n do about less movement laying them block ,pickn dip on the brick 🧱 to helps
Am 53 me n had to finish threw health reasons not all related to the building game
Get sum one carry in on full time weather that be private or the builder you work for tell him you want one ,
Good bricklayers like your self who doesn’t mind loading up to ,a very hard to find ,your doing them the favour having no carrier 🧱you can think to your self not bothered bout a carrier happy wiv my wages etc
Fact of the matter is your doing yourself out of money n your back n aches n pains wont get better trust me done it n no it
Dont get me wrong propper luved it loading laying like your self ,don’t mean be a doom munger to your videos mate and you
Was a bricklayer 30 sum thing year or more luved it ,may come a time wen your body won’t let you load out n lay 🧱n at same time how many more bricks n block wood you be laying wiv a carrier a foookin lot
