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.
Hi stu I'm a level one diploma bricklaying Student at boston college I really enjoy your videos and it helps me with my work as your videos ain't just you and kc eating pies thankyou for helping
Kian Baxter It must be great stu getting feed back like this and the enjoyment of helping the next generation pass it on forward and keep trying your best
@@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 🤣🤣🤣
Trace Times It’s a different language to me to as they live up north 😂😂 but yes all true skills are being lost due to technology and preformed concrete
I’ve worked with my dad all my live since the age off 11 helping him out now (18 years old) working full time with him. Can’t beat working with your dad! All the best for 2020❤️👍
Stu mate , love to see you working with your dad...my dad passed when I was 14... I NB live in America in Boston Massachusetts. I’m 75 and a retired policeman.. cheers god bless
Stu one day you will be an old man living in a big house with plenty in the bank and you will miss the days of going out in the van grafting for a few quid with your old man. Appreciate you bringing us along mate.
Hi Stu, Just would like to thankyou for all the hard work you put into your jobs as a bricklayer, you have helped me become a better bricky and would just like to thankyou man, loving the video as always boss
It’s a pleasure watching your videos as it’s great to see the precision detail that you and Dad put into all your jobs. I have starting watching all the video content you do so this keeps me entertained. Keep the videos going and do not take notice of any negative comments.
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
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
Stu and kc,as long as the complements out way the criticisms, you both are doing a great job.Keep up the great video's. I'm sure there are guys out there like myself who are picking up loads of tips from you and your dad.What a team.Great stuff!!
Lovely job lads I've been a brickie for over 40 years and was taught to take pride in my work which stood me in great stead Its getting harder now because am getting old but it's made me a good living and I've meet a good few characters on building sites
I really enjoyed 'Dinner time with KC and Stuart' 😂 there're some lovely people in the world still. U were both very well looked after.. and very good job 👏 👍
Dave i use to do the same, unfortunatly he passed away 2/3 years ago. KC love every minute of it as once its gone, it heart breaking. I use to love working with my dad. watching you guys reminds me of that, he eas a carpenter. so i lost all my lessons he learnt me over the years, but now i can watch you guys instead. thank yoy for tgeaw videos guys 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼✔️
Enjoyment of the week: taking in the teachings and contemplations of men at work from Lanc. And a brew beside. Weather here in Southern Finland sucks all the same.
The tradesman’s very own version of Loose women but better, loving the lunchtime vlogs lads. Love watching the channel, some of my best memories of my dad are from working beside him, he was a bricky too. Take it easy Stu & KC 😀
Hi Stu, I'm not a bricklayer myself but I really enjoy watching your video's, it's great to see KC working along side you aswell, keep up the good work mate....
Just started solid walling with me Level 1's in college, thanks for the upload Stu, love English bond, time consuming but the end product makes it all worth while. Good clean job aswell always important! Top job KC.
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 👍
Как я понимаю часть стены меняли из за того что грунт выдавил или наклонил ее. Вам не кажется что ваш вариант опорной стены тоже не выдержит давление грунта?
You 2 are class, Couple of baby's yeds for dinner, all we need now is you to edit your videos with Lancashire hotpots chipp tea 😂 Great informative vids and some great banter, love & work in Lancashire but live in Yorkshire. Salt of the earth on the other side in lancs
Stu... your videos really do bring a smile to my face mate! Good bricklaying once again also you getting very looked after by this customer aha keep up the good work 😁❤️
I work in a warehouse on nights I'm watching this at 2 o'clock in the morning even tho chances off me building a brick wall are slim to nill good video great work
Hi Stu & KC 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!
I remember going to work with my dad, from a proper young age, (like proper young play in the sand after watching him mixing sort of age) sweeping up then carrying bricks, slabs, bags of sand or cement... good times, but it's only now that I'm grown up I really realise that the reason that I was there laboring for him was because he'd have never afforded child care in the school holidays!
Hi stu as a brick layer my self and I get the old bond that no one really does any more but just wounded y dint back it up in block work as the brick work won't be seen with the banking at the back seems a shame in not seeing it is all I mean
Tell you what my friend been watching your channel for a while and I've found my self going around on a job doing stu crompton style vids just for bants on the boyses what's app. beltin job stu.👍
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 👍🏻
Happy New Year to you and the old man Stu.Definitely good fun working with your Dad as I worked with mine from 2000/2003 before I went back into Construction,we argued like mad aswell but boy we had the Craic aswell.How you getting on with that concentrated feb mate,used it before and only needed one neck full on a small bell mixer as it’s that strong?? Another quality build and looking forward to seeing finished product,never done English bond before and looks class mate!🧱👍👍👍
Your right Stu, on IMDB some people don’t like Shawshank Redemption, Saving private Ryan etc. Madness. Keep doing what you do mate. Loving the Vlogs and KC banter.

Hello from Victoria Australia, very great video, English bond garden wall, very enjoyable and entertaining,.
Great skill in de bricklaying. Love de videos and KC is cool also. Nice to see father and son work well together
There is something oddly satisfying about watching the compo getting squeezed out between the bricks.

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 👍
Might just be me but hearing/watching the mortar getting mixed is satisfying

I've always like the english bond the best. For structure n appearance
I think its the mixer drive belt stretched, easy to change
Both my belle mixers have done the same thing, it's usually just the switch swap that out should work a treat
Hi Stu.
Liked the video.
Keep up the good work.
You only need 10mm of that feb , that’s why it’s concentrated 😂😂
Good work lads
Stu... your videos really do bring a smile to my face mate! Good bricklaying once again also you getting very looked after by this customer aha keep up the good work

Stu and KC, the original Max and Paddy 👍
First time watching. Very impressed with your work ethic. Nice and clean . Well done.its the small things that make the big things better.
Cheers Tom
Beautiful job guys.
Apparently if you start a mixer when its full it damages the motor over time
I coming from belguim and i like see all of you video. Because i'm a builder to and its so funny the difference work from belguim and england
The issue with the motor on the mixer could be a flat spot or a burnt contact, if it happens again try turning the drum a bit and see if it starts
Another top job stu love that bond all the best
Кирпич идеальный, раствор эластичный, инструмент норм и сами не торопыги молодцы Good
спасибо, ты ошибаешься только когда едешь быстро
Love these new style of videos
Been working in Melbourne as a Brickie 14 years and I’ll always have a brew regards to you both
Keep up the good work mate, stay safe and be strong.
-your buddy from Malaysia
Looks like a nice solid wall that. Have you never thought of just finishing off with a bucket handle?
Can look just as nice and a lot quicker.
love watching you great brickie
Didn't won't to work with my dad he was a boxer . I had a go mind but it was bricklaying for me with my grandfather and all his brothers fantastic 👍

Great work stu .. just say golf spoils a good walk lol
Whatever you do KC dont drop that pie on your foot! 🤣 Both vids 👍👍👍👍

Stu mate im in stitches watching you try to eat your pie with your hands.

secret is once you start you cant put pie down until finished, it has to stay vertical

What about lunch time guests...😂 love it......
Good job !! Hello of french
Smart house holders look after the workers.
Hi stu as a brick layer my self and I get the old bond that no one really does any more but just wounded y dint back it up in block work as the brick work won't be seen with the banking at the back seems a shame in not seeing it is all I mean
because i woulndt be able to bond both leafs of brickwork in otherwise and its a strong bond
When you can make hard work look fun, you have something special ! Now give KC a nice pay raise ok ?
Tell you what my friend been watching your channel for a while and I've found my self going around on a job doing stu crompton style vids just for bants on the boyses what's app. beltin job stu.👍

Top channel. Love it. Top chaps.
Работа в удовольствие! Молодцы!

Hi Kevin just get a bucket full of warm soapy water and give it a scrub if it comes off it’s nothing to worry about😊👍
Happy New Year to you and the old man Stu.Definitely good fun working with your Dad as I worked with mine from 2000/2003 before I went back into Construction,we argued like mad aswell but boy we had the Craic aswell.How you getting on with that concentrated feb mate,used it before and only needed one neck full on a small bell mixer as it’s that strong??
Another quality build and looking forward to seeing finished product,never done English bond before and looks class mate!🧱👍👍👍
2 full caps of concentrated?! Your mix will be so weak, itll just crumble. Way too much feb.
Your right Stu, on IMDB some people don’t like Shawshank Redemption, Saving private Ryan etc. Madness.
Keep doing what you do mate. Loving the Vlogs and KC banter.
I need to build a wall like this but was wondering if it's ok to build it with just one row of bricks instead of 2?
A fantastic video stu and KC well done 😁😁😁😁😁
Thanks james
Ur welcome stu and KC 😁
Great work again
Hi stu it’s the belt on the mixer, when you put to much weight in them it happens. It’s a lot worse with petrol mixers I’ve found 👍🧱🧱🧱
Ok mikey so is it an easy fix?
What's that heat gun like at drying the bricks out stu, is it worth getting one
Looks mega that English bond stu ...
