    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.

    The best memories I have are of my dad taking me to work with him in the summer holidays 1970s. Watching you two brings back those memories and really makes me smile watching the banter you have together not to mention the top quality workmanship. Well done keep it coming.

      @@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

  • @zuegma666
    @zuegma666 5 лет назад

    It is good to see a proper bonded wall being built. Too many people these days are just using bricks as a facing and putting breeze blocks behind and just using metal ties. Top job being done there and keep up the good work and keeping high standards

    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?

    Hey Stu, thanks for all your content! I want to do a wall like this in my front garden. It’s not going to be retaining just a feature that I will stone clad over the top of. Do I need the columns at either end and along the length? The wall will be 8m long and only 1m high, Obviously I want to reduce as many angles as possible to make the stone work easier. Thanks again from Australia 🇦🇺 🦘

    Stu: I'm from Upholland originally. My grandmother owned a chippy years ago on Greenough street going up to Scholes light nr. the old Central Park. I've lived in the US (now near to Hershey in Pennsylvania) for the last 15 years. 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. BTW, the Americans constantly say "WTF did he just say??? Dumb arses!

    Hi mate, just a quick query. Me and the Mrs have bought a brand new house. And so far we are pretty happy with
    It all. Except we have noticed a slight discolouration of the brick in two places where it has gone a green ish colour. One of the patches is just above the damp course and the other is a larger patch on the gable end, could this be water ingress or damp? I was going to. Attach a photo but it won’t let me on here. Cheers, Kelvin 👍🏻
