that old trowel handle made me laugh ,had one in the bag for years for the very same job ,like everything went missing , always interesting the stuff some blokes carry and instead of chucking they find a use for it, most corner blocks were a bit of 2x2 from the skip
It's allright doing all the Grunt Work for the 'Builders' but at our age, the old bones can't take it! Done myself in after 50+ years of Mandraulics! Singed off for 3 months then just the summer to go and i draw the pension, Goodbye Trowl hello Rod!
Mad them floors are going down filled a cellar up once the material to come out is gonna be epic as u say dont get involved Andy 😂.Defo a day work job or you have to price it top heavy spot on mate either way never easy is it mate 👍
How does it working doing an extension on Daywork? Do you just tell the customer what you charge for the day and hope they’ll agree to pay you for however long it takes?
Of course, they have no choice.You dont take the piss though you turn up everyday and do a good days work.Its not like site work where you just pump in the meterage.On extensions you will be doing all sorts of extras, waiting for scaffs, waiting for chippys for first floor joists, we normally do it ourselves as we are there .
Great upload of dealing with a private job and all the hassles of material in and out of job and what u end up going in to just never know what will crop up day rate is wise words spoken cheers Andy
Lovely to watch you roll much and lay the bed properly Andy. It calms my tattered nerves after years of kids telling me "We don't do it like that anymore." Closures in the middle of the wall sent me over the edge and then I saw it was in half bond. It required a double brandy to stop me shouting at the screen. I was taught exactly the same about the surface area on raking out work. Pleasure to watch you Andy.
If cavity-wall insulation is to be used , it can ONLY be installed from the VERY START of construction of the cavity-walls and 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 points which are in the centre of the cavity. Ask N.V.Q. BRICKWORK teachers for PROOF of this !
Correct with partial fill insulation but we are using full fill insulation which is called that for a reason. We work to manufacturers guidelines alongside Building Control.I wouldnt dream of asking an NVQ Tutor anything as most are limited in there knowledge.
@@bricklayersworldwithandy6277 You must not bridge the cavity wall with insulation, or moisture will transmit from the damp outer wall through the touching bridging insulation into the inner walls !
@@bricklayersworldwithandy6277 haha don't blame u fella. I did it from leaving school for 20 years with the same guy who taught me my apprenticeship. Got to 37 and thought can't do this the rest of my life. Looked at him 51 four knee operations full of sciatica. Not for me I need to earn a good wage not ruining my body
Still bangs em down though does the old fella, fair play
Lovely to hear the robins ...spring is around the corner

Posh ones were made from a piece of hardwood bannister rail which were actually useless as to heavy.

I don't to much myself as you can see, i was just saying how it is sometimes, if you are on daywork everything gets done and everybody is happy👍
Best of luck to you mate.

Its screwed up mate 😁👍

Empty vessels make the most noise.
Great vid. Blimey! looking at where the front door is it looks a bit of a nightmare with the levels. Nice tip on the raking out.
Everyone’s favourite brick Andy , they even sound shit 💩🤣🧱👍🏼
😄👍
I use cheap buckets but for gauging i put one inside another for extra strength.... No worries at all, thank me later lol
Out of curiosity what was wrong with the white pointing on the main house? Looking forward to the tuck-pointing video !
Just very scabby as we say.
Good to see you’re back Andy. Hope the eye isn’t giving you any grief and you can retire the tweezers now
Still watering but the eyelash side of it was a success which ime really happy about, thanks 👍
I know phil worked for him and he giving a few of these buckets away but wanted me to use one tin of dye on about 15'000 bricks l😂
Lol 😄
