I laid quite a lot of those blocks 2 years ago when I was approaching 70 years old, you should have heard the noise I made when picking them up, especially over waist height. I like your vids and your attitude, keep it up.
Haha made me laugh Stephen..not just me making noises then Thanks alot mate, appreciate it! Hope you've had a good Christmas and enjoy your New Year's buddy!
A perimeter belt of reinforced concrete reinforced with iron bars around the height of the windows would enhance the structure. Even vertical reinforcement with reinforced concrete inside the holes of the concrete blocks, especially in the corners! This is because the outer wall is very old. Wonderful laying!
Always nice putting a bit of life into these old buildings mate .Cracking job a usual and you have to have passion in what we do to be a decent tradesman and you have that in abundance. Keep it up and good luck next year from all of us here mate . Justin 👍
Thanks Justin bud, appreciate all the support over the last year! Been a pleasure chatting with you! Hope you and the family are well and have a great 2022
I’m catching up on these videos and thoroughly enjoying them. The work ethic and energy is amazing.to see. I did wince though when using the lump hammer on the rocks without any eye protection. Only because I once got a chip in my eye from hammering and it is damned painful. Sorry to be all H&S 😆 🍺
Brilliant work buddy! You've done really well with those 9" blocks concretes along side those regular concretes! Hope you and your family have a very happy new year an best wishes for the future 2022! 😀🎆✨Looking forward to the next one as always mate, keep up the great work! 👍😁👌👷♂️🧱🍻🍻
@@IzzytheBrickyplenty of concrete blocks over here in Ireland buddy in all sizes,I do a bit in England now and then in fact when I first went to work in England I had never seen a lightweight block nevermind laid one before and I seen a fella carrying four fibolite blocks and thought feck me these lads are strong as feck as I thought he was carrying concrete blocks 😂😂😂
Is it listed bro, done some of this work too used to shutter of the top row of stone and concrete it to build off. I used to go up to Basildon where they made those blocks your using, up in the hills- to get my blocks back in the day...even did some work on that place too! also at the Belper plant. Keep at it it's coming on nice izzy💪👍
Yes bud it's listed 👌 that's what we're gonna do in the corner to tie that 8" to the old stone wall what's staying 👌 Belper? In Derbyshire? I'm always in belper seeing family 👌 where abouts are you mate? Cheers Chris buddy, hope you had a brilliant Christmas and New Year 🎉🍻🍻
@@IzzytheBricky Both are in Derbyshire bro, I'm in Cheadle not far from Alton Towers. Those blocks are heavy and working on your own is very hard, hats off to you. Had a good one thanks Izz👍 Look forward to seeing more🧱⚒
Loved the dog tooth video on the garage ! Have a good new year and keep the videos coming, Thoroughly enjoying watching your work. Respect from Scotland.
Thanks Jim, really enjoyed making that video..been doing loads of dogtooth since then too😂 there's probably 150m worth of that detail on this build 😂 Have a great New Year buddy 🍻🍻💪🎉
Cheers fella💪💪🙏 think they are gonna get filled with conny...that's what the lad who's job it is was on about doing 💪 Yea I'll be getting a Turkey out of this 😂😂😂😉
Thanks Doug mate! Yea lots to do on this job..from new Brickwork, reclamed brickwork.. patterns..loads😂 and as it's just me I'll probably be on this job half of 2022
Thanks Steve mate! Yea that first day I got quite a bit done..I was pleasantly surprised too😂 haha yea I was pumped that Wednesday when I broke up👌👌🍻🍻 Happy new year to you and the family buddy! Enjoy the rest of your break bud🎉🎉🍻😊
Probably a little far for me fella. But I'm sure if you post your job on Facebook, there will be plenty of people in your area to come do it 💪💪 Hope your well and had a good Christmas mate🎅🎉
Hahaha you lads must be stronger over there😂😂 I've probably got close to 1000 of these to lay on this job.. there's a 6ft retaining wall surrounding the whole plot 😨😨😨
Ah mate..fair play to you, much respect 🙏💪.. fk me your gonna be busy busy tomorrow with a load of divvys setting off fireworks 😂 Best of luck buddy 💪💪
Kin hell mate you are going to put yourself in an early grave working with 9 inch conkers on your own, good to see that you know how properly spread a bed on them most UK Brickies don't have a clue and always the line on the back, 👍👌
Haha yea tell me about it mate 😂😨 first priority in the new year is to get an apprentice 👌👌👌 I've been practicing my spreading for these blocks quite abit 👍 use to do little "hotdogs" but after seeing how the lads in America and Ireland do it..I took some time to get it down👌 Hope you had a good Christmas Andy mate, happy New year too buddy 🍻🍻🍻🎉 Enjoy the rest of your break🍻
Great work mate 💪 just a quick one though, how come you used those hollow blocks instead of doing normal 9"? Surely it'll be quicker by the time you have to pour the voids up? Keep it up mate 👌
Cheers Stuart mate👌👌We had loads of them on this job, so it was more of a case of just using them up really😨😨 Thanks bud, have a fantastic New year buddy
Nah they’ve got to be lighter in the states they look thinner aswell. We built a load of bays with these at the end of the day I thought my arms were gonna fall off 😂😂
Your attire is more suitable these days I notice . Your back will last a little longer and yes don't try prove yourself to no man . You work will prove your worth . Keep it up son

The stone work is going to be built back up with a cavity. So the damp won't come though. The big old stone wall what I said is staying, is going to be battened out with some 1x1 timber with a vapour barrier on it. So no moisture enters the building 👌👍 Hope your well Mary
@@IzzytheBricky Sorry I didnt mean on this building I have a garage it's a single skin concrete block wall plastered on the outside but the inside of the walk the blocks are all damp in big areas
Hiya, okay I see what you mean. It's relatively simple as is pretty much fixed by the way I previously mentioned 😊 Of you have Instagram, I can send you some pictures to get over the issue
Haha cheers mate! Yea I'm trying too. However it's quite time consuming to take the videos.. sometimes I have to quickly do it and then get back to work quickly 💪
Not trying to be rude or tell you what to do because your channel has really grown on me, but a man of your ability and age should consider spending a few years down in London. Looking at the different work you do you'd be well placed to overcome the variety of work the capital throws at you and you'd smash it. I'm not a Londoner but like so many trowels from around the country I headed towards the M25 and it's been a learning curve I've never regretted. Not knocking you, your work or your channel in any way but I can't help make the suggestion considering what you clearly have to offer. Don't get me wrong, the place is a shit hole but the variety of work if you look hard enough is second to none.
Ayup mate! Really appreciate that comment! I have been considered working in a few different places to help me grow as a Bricklayer recently. Just waiting for a nice opportunity really 🙏😊😊 to be honest I really don't like London..but I have been asked to do some work down there and have my digs paid for .so that might be coming up in the new year🙏👌👌
That looks like hard graft using those blocks…quality as always!

When you started laying blocks the first thing I thought was 'Feck me, he's wearing bloody ballet tights!' 😂😂
😂😂😂😂Ah bro my work dress senses is shocking 😂😂 few weeks ago I wore the tightest black skinny jeans 😨😂😂😂 everyone thought 1D had turned up on site😂😂🔥

@@IzzytheBricky thanks pal, looks very cool the barn conversion, rest up mate, have a gooden 🍺🍺
I think they might be slightly lighter. I think ours range from about 11-37 lbs
Those are 8" weights which is the vast majority. They come in 4",6", 8", 10", 12"
you should use the raw audio even in timelapse, that music ruins good videos. very fine work sir very fine indeed.
Thank you, appreciate it😊 yes do apologize
Thanks and have a great new year 🎉🍻
Go watch fastest trowel on the block challenges in Vegas put u to shame lol it’s all they do

The 8x8x16 blocks over here are about 35 lbs apiece
💪💪💪 heavy going that is
9” block? Ours are 8’s over here in the land of the Yankee’s lol those don’t seem to be very common over there
Ah mate must just be a special 9" block 😂 I know you lads love those 8" ...you guys are built different 💪💪💪
Good days graft that

Question on a single skin Concret block wall how do you stop the rain coming through the block from the outside
The stone work is going to be built back up with a cavity. So the damp won't come though. The big old stone wall what I said is staying, is going to be battened out with some 1x1 timber with a vapour barrier on it. So no moisture enters the building 👌👍
