Looking and using your eyes is the most important thing in brickwork . "If it looks right it us right".... I've worked by that statement all my life . Nice work Rob as uaual . 👍
A question Rob , in most terraced houses in East London the arch above the front door entrance was always tuc pointed and its still evident today in a lot of the houses although sometimes painted over still holding up after over a century!! My grandad who was a brickie told me that when these houses were built Italian immigrants were employed to do this kind of fine finishing any history to that ?
He was born around 1910 and also told me that after the great war there was such a shortage of tradesman including brickies that other forms of construction not so skilled based had to be devised untill new tradesman could be trained hence places like Dagenham new Town had a lot of houses built with a clinker form where they would make up large shutters to form walls and basically fill them with all kinds of clinker and cement to form the carcus ,but to be fair they are still standing
Hey, I was just wondering what is the mix you use ? usually i would mix 1:3. 1 part lime, 1 part soft sand and 2 parts sharp sand. just wondering if you would use the same or different to get different texture. Thanks

@@robsonger1 I'm from Birmingham mate, and decent trowels talk about you, never heard logan Roy mentioned once so that speaks for itself
Looks well
Keep it tight bobbie!
There's a lot of 'thrust' on those side walls Rob .... Exmet over the top of the arch ? 👍🏴
Always....well, tramline rather that mesh, and never galvanised, always stainless
@@robsonger1 Yes of course . 👍🏴
@@robsonger1 The Victorians used to put iron band (very springy) over sometimes ... But you must know that already . 🏴
Yes John, we've replaced a few rusted ones recently

That's very possible, although many of the tradesmen traded in this country would have done these too

Lovely job Rob, are they hand made bricks?
Yes Chris, they are handmade imperial Tudors
@@robsonger1 They look so nice with the white mortar 😊

As much as I hate cement, sometimes we are told to use it...this is white cement, hydrated lime and sand (1:1:6)
@@robsonger1 Thanks very much for the reply Rob :) is it just soft sand you are using ?
Mustard……no fault ever
Liz Truss thinks that's a full shift.

Honestly, I never get any muck on me. Also, these days I like to wear gloves as much as I can.
does tend to choke the trowel. but that's not a negative comment. just an observation. everyone holds their trowel differently
