    Hi stu, great peace of advice you wrote up, life can be difficult at times, but there is great advice out there, once you surround yourself in good people it helps a lot, I am a bricklayer over 20 years here in Ireland, and know A lot of bricklayers, currently working in Dublin for sisk building apartment's all brickwork, I must say your brickwork is excellent, and you're apprentice if he takes your advice, keep himself on the straight and narrow, he will have a brilliant future a head of him. Keep up the good work. 👍

    I stumbled across your channel by a coincidence... I just want to say your bricklaying looks more like an art than a trade job. Really neat and precise. Well done to you and your team!
    Just a quick question, is this the best type of insulation to apply for the walls, or that one which is more like pressed foam better option? All videos I have seen from you use this wool like one. Thanks

      @markanthony7184 4 года назад +1

      As Richard says, depends on the ty[e of brick and the weather. Typically though not less than half an hour later if the bricks are taking the moisture, and although I never used to time it, not more than maybe an hour and a half if memory serves. As I say I never really used to time it. What I did was to try say, one perp joint or something if it looked dry enough, and if it wasn't and it would be a bit messy so leave it half an hour or an hour more and try another one. There was one time years and years ago when I built a gable end on my own garage and it was a really wet November day , and the cement remained so wet that I wasn't able to point it for 2 days!!! That's really extreme though! The work was fine though, mortar went perfectly hard alright as it was brand new. It was a seriously cold and foggy week that was.

  • @Bazz11
    @Bazz11 4 года назад +2

    Stu. This might come in handy mate. Where you put in the temporary brick for the window sill, stick a 10mm pice of installation on top of the muck. It makes taking out the temporary brick alot easier, no need for a hammer, just a little wiggle and it pops out.

      4:1 but you must add plasticizer to make the mortar workable, add bits of water at a time because once you out to much water in you will have to wait befoe it drys

    Why does the mortar become more wet than it was out the mixer. Must be because the mortar absorbs the moisture in the brick.

    There SHOULD be a LARGE air-space GAP in-between the face of the cavity-wall insulation BATTs and the OUTER WALL inside the cavity ; this ALSO includes an air-space GAP in-between the face of the cavity-wall insulation batts and the cavity-wall-tie drip point-which should be in the centre of the cavity. Ask N.V.Q. City & Guilds BRICKWORK teachers for PROOF of this ! With the cavity-wall being bridged with insulation (insulation touching the outer walls inside the cavity), damp will travel from the outer wall through the bridging insulation to the inner wall !
