I believe the thing about females and pull-starts is purely psychological. I've been over this with my wife so many times, I pull the pull start with two fingers (and I'm by no means a strong guy) to show her you don't need to be strong to start the mower. Finally I told her I'm not cutting the grass any more, so she started to mentally apply herself to the problem and now she starts it every time. Women can do pull starts if they need to!
Thank you for this video it has some great tips! I have just applied for a bricklayer apprenticeship and it's great to see another female absolutely smashing it!
Looks like you have it pretty easy which is a good thing, i would be myself twice almost 3 times harder than what i saw in this video and still getting ridiculed and spoken to like i was garbage, the bricklayer i worked for was ruthless and made everything so difficult, i think it ess because he was always in a rush to finish to the job asap, we didnt even get 5 minutes break for lunch worked me all day and made me feel like i was nothing, i quit after 6 months as it was getting to me mentally.
I've been laying bricks for 58 years i love my job and do you know what labourers used to get bricks and mortar to bricklayers labourers were called hoddies and a hod was carried on there shoulders they were unbelievable workers some would carry 25 to 30 bricks they were unbelievable workers
When you clean the mixer out try putting a spade of little stones in it works wonders, the bricks work fine but do alot of damage to the blades inside over time. Just a little tip I got from an old boss
@@brucetindal7399 it's called experience putting bricks in destroys the inside of the mixer putting any type of hardcore in like stones, mot or pebble dash does a better job and less damage
@@MalkinMC I was taking the piss out of your terminology mate. A spade and little stones???. If you are actually in construction. A brickies labourer uses a shovel. And the little sones you are talking about would be gravel or even Type1. Brick broken up into Queen closer quarters will not damage the inside of a mixer or the blades and can be reused. Only a donkey would put full or half brick in a mixer to assist with the cleaning of it.
Been a bricklayer over 20 years my father run a 3/1 squad back in day he was the Labour but he was boss told were they were moving different times now breed different hard to he's a decent labourer but respect
It's all in the speed of the pull for those engines. If you can get it down to a faster pull in the first 2 thirds of the rope you'll get it started easily every time. it's not the length the rope is pulled out really but the speed of it is the important part. The same with the wingit though they are quite a pig till keep turning over the cranking handle at the speed required to start them certainly from a cold start.
How am I seeing this after 1 year bloody awsome I was 16 when I started I prefer blocks and with bricks I have to use 2 clamps I don't like the 400 series especially on friday
Well done. One question why have you not got loading bays on the scaffolding? When I was on the hod many years ago a lot of it was ladder work but it’s now 2021. Great job though 👏
I still use my hod, don't see many using them on these videos use them brick clamps, don't really like them. Good hoddie needs to be organised. 👍👍Good video thoe. 👌👏😊💯
clamps mean less turning movement less lifting height, better balance and mobility, hods are havoc for the shoulders, made you do a dance every time though
@@disklamer each to there own been using a hod since was 15 am now 48 few aches but still all good and if pick it up right all is good. Good luck to you thoe.
I'm a 45 male here in the US when I was younger I was a laborer for awhile. And to me a good prepared laborer pretty much has all the same tools as a bricklayer does. I had just as many tools as they did. levels... trowels... Jointers.... Band cutters... wire cutters... A large claw hammer.... a 2 pound sledge. That way if it's ever needed I can actually jump up on the wall and do whatever they want me to do to help. whether it's just jointing the wall or all the way to laying a few brick and block
I’ve had to stop at 3:00 because that’s like soup, just start with half a bucket of water and just let it mix, rather wait 10mins for good gobbo then using soup and losing more than 10mins.. Floorboards are back breaking, rob highers off your ground workers 🤷
I’m actually a bricklayer, not a labourer, these are tips that I learned and that help me as a bricklayer. When laying trench blocks on the ground i find it easier to have the board right next to me on the ground. 😁
Hi please don't take this personally but you talk about how to be a labourer but until the end you never wore a hard hat or hi Vis which are the two most important things to get across, stay safe 🍻🙏🙏🙏
What a little wheel barrow a child could push it, use 2 6 pack grabs instead of 1 because your going to over work one side of your body that might cause injury dont walk them bricks up the scaffolding like that throw then up faster less energy used and raise them mud boards to little below waist height your brick layers will start looking like hunched back of nostradam in a few years
Wrong way to load out at 5.35 as every brick when laid will have to be turned around......always load out with frogs faced up same as when using a hod always load the bricks with frog facing the back of the hod so when tipped off shoulder they're frog up.
Blokes- We have been labouring as a way of life to reach the next plateu of skill level for generations now with mischief, put downs, and pull-ups been an integral element. We pass on these skills through tribal mechanisms and toilet wall humour. Fast forward to woke 2024 with equal rights on the job we now have RUclips tutorials for all the budding labourers " Come over to the man's work station, we can blow our way to a supervisory position in no time".
Im 22 and I want to get into bricklaying but have no idea where to start. I’m in the situation of wanting to switch careers but I can’t afford to be out of work for a year to do a course in it so I don’t know how to get my foot in the door 🤷🏻♀️ any advice??
Well you need to figure out which course is the beginner's course i.e the first one you need to do for the sector youre interested in i.e bricklaying. Look at the options like can you do part-time college and work part-time, can you do evening classes. Maybe contract a few local bricklayers and see if you can get work experience to ensure that its deffo the right trade you want to persue. Hope this helped
Labourer here. Good tips but will point out that this is from a staged video from a bricklayers perspective and quite often a bricklayers idea of what can reasonably be done, even at speed, is almost never in line with reality. Most bricklayers will have laboured at some point in their lives and in short bursts will be able to show you some top class labouring but there’s not a single labourer on gods green earth who is able to, in a 2 (or 3) in 1 on a housing site, able to load out, fetch compo, refill the compo tubs, restack, chop halves, clean the scaff, scrub down the spot boards, locate all of the tools and gear around the scaff, clean the brickies tools, joint up, scape the cavities, scrub the buckets spotless, for 40-45 hours a week (Without breaking so much of a sweat). It’s impossible and I haven’t seen a single labourer do it yet without something somewhere having to give. Best way to understand brickies is like when your talking to your old man and he tells you he used to walk 8 miles to and from school, in 4 foot of snow and it was uphill both ways. Take it with a pinch of salt.
You're absolutely right!! I've been bricklaying for 10 years now but before I used to hold for a 5 and 2. The other labourer would just load out other plots but I'd be dishing out muck, loading out, doing cuts and sweating my bollocks off. I remember back then jointing up used to feel like a break. Most important thing is keeping your buckets clean so the muck just slides out, no pissing about haha
Sorry dear you make hod carrying look hard just get wheel barrow fill it up throw bricks up on to scaffolding them stupid brick clamps slowest way especially when I see wheel barrow there and you walked past it with brick clamps I had to laugh. I’ve been hod carrying since 1977 and I’m still on hod now at 65
First of all I was the best to ever do it...never be anyone as good as me!I'd prefer the word hoddy.nobody tops up muk with a baby trail.if you put abit of water in your bucket empty it than bang the muk in it your find it won't stick to the bucket.don't need to scrape the mixer.it will come.don't leave a bucket of muk by the side of the spot boards you can just spread the muk about.best way to be the best is to think like a bricklayer.nobody carry 6 bricks a time.i was doing 20 bombs back in my time.2 buckets a muk a time and 4 blocks a time.plus all the pointing...everything.up the ladder all the time no forklifts.what a true sparton I was.
@@martin2466 maybe so but I'm still waiting too see someone that was on my level.i can't do anymore anyway I did my back in 4 times.i went for it to much back than for what to make everyone else rich.pisst lol.
Finally a video for labourers . Well done. Good work!
Thank you from Florida. I am getting back into the trade and wanted to brush up on some things. This helped. I am a lady as well. You rock darlin!
Best video about labouring so far. Thank you. And keep making videos like that.
Fair play to you ,most girls would run from this type of work never mind learning it as a trade 👍
You've been trained very well- a key person on site- well done.
I was on the Hod for a year. Trick is too always get in front of the bricklayer makes it easy for yourself. It’s hard graft not easy at all
You're a fantastic incentive for more women to enter the building trade.
When I was a hod carrier I just used a hod all the time as it changed a lot now on the building site good on you for trying to be a labour
I’d love to see my wife do this . Your like a breath of fresh air and show what life’s all about . Well brickies life’s 😂
ha
Seen one UK. She was heatcutting & carrying! costr rail! Steel!
Your posture!
Still impressed.

4:10 Lovely. I'd definitely consider using a (power)hose to clean stuff, all the scrubbing may be good for the guns but why not make your life easy.
When starting a mixer always have the drum facing up makes it alot easier to start.
that right there should be printed on the side in big letters
well done lad, Ur mindplace is infront all the time! greetings Bricky from Denmark ;) nice content!
I wouldn’t advise putting a full bucket of mud next to their full boards, it’ll dry out and get hard fast!

Fair play you’re better than 9 out of 10 labourers I’ve worked with
She carries 1 brick clamp at a time. Literally 99% of labourers are more efficient than that so it would seem that you're talking utter bollocks

Where do you empty barrow when youve youve cleared the mixer and emptied into barrow?

How do carry 2 brick clamps wiv 1 hand??

Keep 'alternetting' those brick stacks. Whatever you do with them.
