    Worked with my Dad since i was a young boy, 12 years down the line and have loved every minute of it. I smile watching you both as it reminds me of mine and dads working relationship.
    Bad health has forced him into early retirement but i cherish every moment i've had learning from him and working along side him. Love your videos, keep it up!

    Even as a fellow bricky - I’m looking forward to seeing this wall finished, classic pointing with a classic strong bond. Something I believe the industry lacks these days is the craftsmanship that used to go into bricklaying. Taking pride in your work and appreciating quality over quantity is something I believe should really be reintroduced on a grand scale. I miss the old architecture and thought that went into buildings in the Edwardian/Victorian times.
    Well done lads, a pleasure to watch you work as per.

      @@alansmall9071 It really is a dying art in the United States and every experienced Mason who takes the time to mentor and train a future Mason is effectively ensuring that this trade isn't lost to time. I applaud Stu and anyone else who does what he does and I love the slang he uses. It's like a different language 🤣🤣🤣

    I was told in my apprenticeship in the late 80s if a mixer is full always empty it and never restart with a full load as it puts a huge load on the motor, so to extend the life of you mixer never restart when full. Love the new style vloging Stew and love KC

  • @Sam.147
    @Sam.147 4 года назад +2

    Hi Stu, great video as usual. Btw, your mixer probably stopped working because it overheated. In future, unwrap all of your extension lead to prevent the cable overheating and causing an issue for the mixer. Hope that helps 👍

    Great video I work with my dad from about the age of 10. I followed in his foot steps and became a carpenter. Your videos bring back so many happy memories of him.
    Just one question as the wall you are building in the video Is a small retaining wall should there be weep holes in the bottom of it or is there going to be a land drain behind it?

This episode seeing you pair tuck into a couple of mate n' prater pies and a brew just made me drool allover't bloody place! I'm going to be doing some bricklaying at my own house soon so I've been watching your instructional videos. It's great listening to a proper Wigan accent. I've not lost mine in what's now 54 years.
