@@Rust_Rust_RustI'd rather work honestly, I couldn't sit around for 8 days at home anyways. But that's what happens when you help run a company. People nowadays know nothing about work. 😁
Look. Any bricklayer can do a nice job but speed is key when you're working on price. Bricklaying is all about the amount you're laying and on jobs where quality matters more than quantity, the customer has to be willing to pay a lot more. Quality has taken a back seat for the most part because everyone undercuts everyone and it's been this way for years. I don't understand why you're trying to encourage him to do better. If you knew anything about bricklaying you'd understand that he's top tier. So stop being so patronising.
@@jontullett9068 in the USA, a bricklayer installs, brick and concrete blocks, and the like. A mason is quite a bit more, he does stone, usually he also does fireplaces, not every bricklayer can do this things with finess! Jim
@Jim Pie Mason is much different than a bricklayer. Not better but different. I've been a Mason for 30 years. Stone, stucco, tile, fireplaces, brick buildings, chimneys, block and all of the layout.
@@brikkijim One of my friends was a mason for 30 years before he retired. He could do it all, his work spoke for itself. However, the one thing he couldn’t do was touch the tools and brick, after he retired because if he did and was caught he would loose his $450 month pension and insurance if they caught him. He worked hard and his brick hands showed it. God bless you!
Never seen one either, but it looks too flimsy to me. I like the idea of the spring, but if it's not binding to the block you can't pull it very tight. Of you look at the line, it's easy to loose.
35 years exp ..I'm no Mason, just a wood butcher, however .. DON'T TOUCH THE LINE! Js ... And please feel free to correct me ...don't move the line until the run is done. Right? (Right) 🔥
I used to labour to two old men in 60s an they still could lay 5 inch solids an 9inch booster s FRM tarmac .them old brickies showed a young lad how to always have a bucket an thick bristles brush to clean shovels an mixer no brick in mixer.
That's how we do in Guam, USA and Micronesia and it's the best. Pour concrete from the top, including the beams and roof later. The place where Category 5 Hurricane 🌀 is very common.
I was a Mason tender In the union we built schools and this is how every Mason worked.those block weight alot that's for sure. We used 12 in block alot of the time those suckers are 55 lb a block . Number 7 rebar everyother cell so much grout lol .
I've laid tens of thousands of 12 inch block, and have never laid or seen anyone lay one like that, a solid sure but not a 12, much less an 8. Furthermore I've never seen a 12 that heavy, even 16x16 column blocks are 50 lbs or less. 55 lbs is way too much for me, what were they solid split face, or fluted?
I always wondered why do cinder blocks had holes and later in time I found out that cinder blocks where made specifically for cement to be poured in and capped off. My neighbors cinder block wall was not filled and the ”masons” said there was no need because it will not be barring any structural weight and after 3 years one good earthquake of a 4.4 brought the row of blocks down like dominos.
Block homes are never filled 100 percent. That's too expensive. The corners are filled and other middle sections with rebar. There are houses that have poured concrete walls, so 100% concrete and rebar, but no blocks.
Ppl think this is easy as pie. Masonry isn’t easy. Which is why every masonry company is always hiring. Which is why I love being in this industry. Not many can do it, most just talk about it on RUclips comment section. Lol. This guy has a lot to learn, but good for him, seems dedicated. It will pay off for him. He’s on his way. You gotta do it everyday to master every technique. Only comes with experience. Beauty about this trade too is not many young ppl getting into it. Certainly not for everyone.
1. Spread the wall than string your line, I’ve always done it this way it’s faster 2. Hand position, both hands should be on top and cross corner to keep from hitting the line and pissing off the fellows working down from you (if any) 3. Use the back of your trowel to adjust the block I watched that block sink under the line and definitely lower than the one beside it.
If you want to get this done, take down the stupid story pole, build a lead and put the line on the other side Charlie, this ain't a finish wall. Not to mention quit spreading mud with the back of your trowel and use 1 hand to lay those block. Your an excellent brick mason, but you got a ways to go when it comes to laying block. I've never seen anyone lay block that way in over 50 years in the business, except on a solid.
Grab that block by the wide middle piece set it down with ease, face both sides clean mud after its faced then lay the next block same way ... 25 year veteran right here... me.
The only thing I see that's a little off. Is the chicken leg was put on the last block that was installed and you can't pull? That line tightening to keep a belly out of it. Yet chicken line need to be 22 and a 1/2 blocks behind the last one installed on both ends. Or you need to use flying block instead of chicken leg. That way you can get a good pool get to stretch out of that line specially If it's a new ball align you're using. Now if I could i'd like to just throw out a hint to all people who install block. Picture that block is a big brick and then lay the block that way one-handed center Webb. Keep your hand away from the line and. Put another 50 to 75 block in the wall everyday that adds up if you're getting paid by the block And if you are you just gotta raise. Not bad I decided everything look pretty smooth. I would hire this Mason. Good luck everybody goodbye.
Two schools of thought, pour as you go or at the end pour it all. If you do it was you go then you need a Bonder and do it every few rows....if your Mortar is messy inside in can block the concrete though and make it harder to get down. Shouldnt be a problem with those sizes, but more narrow it can be a problem real quick.

Here in The United States in The State of Florida most of our homes are built out of these blocks, and then what we call “Stucco” finished to add texture. I think hideous. However, due to hurricanes this is the safest way to do things. We also refer to these as “cinderblocks”. However, I love seeing England and The Other Marvelous Nations of Great Britain still using brick as they always have 🧱. It’s a true form of art, and in my opinion the most stunningly allure of them all to this day. Here in The U.S. one single traditional “red brick” at the hardware store’s roughly about $2.50-$3.00 USD in 2023. I think that’s why we don’t see entire homes or building built in them anymore. In closing, keep up the fantastic work. P.S. my home’s brick trimmed from the ground to about quarter way up. Wish the entire place was 😎 Subscribed
My first home in Glenview, was brick half way up, and the cedar siding was attached to the studs. We cut away the attachment trim and we used a brick that was very close to the old one, and we bricked to the top. There was a limestone sill, which we took and reset it. took 2 days, 2 bricklayers for 8 hours and 3 bricklayers for 8 hours. It cost me $800 in 1980. The cost for doing it with aluminum siding was about $1200. It was Saturday one week and the next Saturday. He and a friend were the helpers on the job, mixing the mortar, handling all the brick(2500) and moving the scaffold. There was 2 large windows in the front, the brick we used was a beige color, we did a large triangular diamond with black brick, this completed the stunning brick addition.
The second video title pointing out laying “heavy / hollow” blocks. Us Yanks simply call them blocks / cement blocks / CMU’s and anyone that’s grabbed them knows they’re not light… but it’s understandable for a “Bricky” to mention the weight. However, those are certainly rough textured block. If you tried to hand float those you’d be there all day! JS

Keren orang2 di luar sana mah pengerjaannya kerapian yang di utamakan,🎉🎉🎉❤
Great work lad. Making trady’s cool one block at a time.
that looks like it will be strong 👍
Suppose to have washouts on first course. Clean out all your fallen mud, cover washouts, fill with concrete.
That wall has a distinct bow in it. Your midline support is pulling the line off the straight position.
Yeah you can see it kicking out or in after the support or profile.
That’s what you don’t use a fucking profile on block work…if you can’t run a level in a timely manner, go back to other side of the boards
Great block laying 👌
But who does your concrete footings??

could you build a extension with those blocks or is it illegal?

lol average in Ontario Canada is 40 plus 25 lol who works for that
