    Just curious why you guys still build corners rather than using profiles? Been a Bricky here in Australia for 20+ years. Can do both but always found the profile method to be so much quicker

    Was a proper hoddy in London 40 years ago, l have seen a lot of bricklayers and so called bricklayers,loud mouth cockneys, WW2 vets - contrary sods at times, it was always the hoodies fault when a corner had to be taken down, sure half of them were blind poor sods and let's face it they done their bit for King and country and deserved respect which I acknowledged they knew I was Irish, but they never called me Paddy in fairness.Bricklayers bragging about laying 1000 bricks a day and they often did brag , I would just nod my head and get on with it. Of All the bricklayers I have ever tended l can honestly say I only came across one bricklayer who could average that every day and that's important because there is a big difference when you come to opes and he never once in the years we worked together bragged about his work he didn't have to, everyone knew he was a different class to them, never used a power tool, just brick hammers to build arches and you would not believe how neat the finish was.

      The white blocks are called celcons and normally used on the outside because they are better for insulation I think they are made from waste from power stations? You can get similar grey thermalite blocks.
      Then you also get concrete blocks that are mostly used for internal walls they come in two different types and different densities and weights, 7 newtons and 3.5 newtons. The heavier 7n blocks are used in the partition/jack walls. Sometimes the colour is just down to different manufacturers

    Say if your using steel joists (RSJs) is it a good idea to mark with a marker and pen and levels so they be flush to a external, internal wall to figure out if a building is subsiding or where its happening. Well as some plasterers well they dont give too hoots. And soil composition may change over the years

    when you build wet brick always build the corners slack. Also short corners and run 'em in. Wet bricks will roll out with the weight and when you joint them. Mention this because I noticed you were only plumbing from the point you started building today. So the previous work was probably hard to the bubble. Just an observation, not a criticism. You're part of the 1 in 25 group that are naturals.
