Nice video Chris. You inspired me to become a Bricklayer at a later age. I'm now 51 and been on site for two years. Never been happier. I still love watching bricklaying videos, helps me relax. Many thanks Chris, keep them up..👍
You can do it👍🧱👊
A lot of experience and skill gone into this wall- you've made it look easy and it most certainly isn't- I've watched the series and have been amazed at this wall construction from its foundations to the walls end..WOW
That’s a great project to have under your belt ( A load of plumbing to do as well )
It sure is
What a belter of a job to get Chris, it's going to look superb when it's done.....that's one expensive boundary wall!
Thank you matey😀
While we using double reinforced concrete foundation for maintain air the people are existing who puts bricks on the ground. That why is my building construction stretches over decades... Ok
Great work chris, top notch..
How long did this take from start to finish??
30 days...Im the cook, bottle washer, and servant lol
Proper old school👍
Fantastic to watch a master at work.. Well done!
Wow looks awesome 👍
Some time and money going into that wall
Thanks 👍 Yes indeed bro
Quality work by a quality tradesman. Looks the tits Mr longhurst👍👋
😆 thanks bruv
Why did you build the bricks,frog down, we were told always frog up,???
Yes, I did it here because it was much easier to get the gauge, however you'll see I mainly lay the bricks frog up! I know there is much debate about this in my opinion and as with other groups thoughts, the mortar rises into the shallow frog and grips it..Most of the building you'll see I lay frog up!!
Great job, thanks, love your work,🇮🇪🇮🇪
Beltin job but why have you built a two and a half brick pillar🤔😎
This is how the client wanted the wall to be
Hi Chris, really enjoy your videos- no faff 😁. Looks tip-top 👍
Glad you like them!
What is the best way to build those bricks,frog up,or down,
On going debate among builders....
Looks lovely great job. Looking forward to the finished result.. Bet you are to.
I am!
54 years at it and I never saw two lines on a one brick wall.
Hahahah well you have now lol
Wait, I don't c any steel rebar being laid. In 🇯🇲 they wd have dug 18" trench; lay steel rebar; then begin laying 6" thick concrete blocks up to maybe 2'; 3'; 4' r 5'; etc.
Your client is getting a cracking job Chris. 👍👍
Thanks 👍
Excellent work congratulations, nice design greetings from san felipe chile
Nice one and greetings from cold UK👍
🇯🇲💯🇺🇸🇬🇧🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Lovely looking wall chris👌👍👍 that will add massive value to the house as well👍
Really enjoying this series, thank you
Glad you enjoy it!
i take it the pillar you're building towards the end does not need foundations? straight on the earth?
Another excellent job. Beautiful workmanship.
awesome job
My house if constructed in Brick. I put a level to some of the outside walls, and they aren't exactly level - they are just slightly off. I've also measured some of the joints/perps, and they aren't all 10mm - most are, but some are 8mm, 9mm, 11mm etc. Is it normal to expect this variance?
It happens
Great Wall but looks over powering for the property. Them pillars are fat, doesn’t suit the style of house
So many local people who walked by have stopped and commented on how they like the wall.....I suppose seeing it in its actual setting gives a different perspective!
Nice bit of brickwork 👍
Thanks 👍
Nice boundary wall that chris👍
Your back must me killing !!!
Fantastic job Chris. Apologies if its already been asked before but what's the name of those bricks. Thanks
No worries, they are a Renaissance multi mix (Belgium)
like the great wall of china..
Why were the bricks "frog down" @3:16 instead of facing up when you were doing the pillar? Also does the base of the pillar need to use full brick as you did it? Or is it random?
Yes mate random there are hundreds of solids mixed in the packs and we use them mixed in
This is actual brickwork, bricklaying houses is slasher work but this is quality, my dad would enjoy this and take him back to the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s.
Thank you
@@foundationgood123 very welcome
Chris can I ask how you did the first course on the step ? Did you make the step the same height as a brick ? How do you set your line up for that ,? Regards Gareth
Yes I did, I did a video on the foundation and I explain it there. When you start building start at the bottom and lay your line up the steps and build into the step then rack back and carry on till you reach the (the next step) carry on to the top and it should be levell, you may need to a just some courses with a bigger bed or even grind down where necessary but if you've done the foundations level it generally works! hope that has helped
Great vids, thanks. What is the purpose of the wall ties on the inside of the pillars 4:00?
They’re there to help strengthen the pillar and connects it to the concrete infill!
Had you tried the pick and dip method for laying bricks
Yes
Enjoyed that thanks 👍 just a shame for to wait for part 3 now !!
Cheers 👍
Glad you enjoyed it, they're coming soon😊
Stunning result , a awful lot of work. Bet there more bricks in that wall than the house.
just done 5000 brick and we need a further 600 (pack) to finish it. This isn't including the blue bullnose bricks!!!!
good worj chris. tough going im them footings.
Yes it was
Damned good bricky....old school rocks...
🤘70s style
That wall is not gonna last long without a water table...
odd question, water tables are where the water is high!!!!!
Great job mate. Nice one. 👏🏽
Thank you! Cheers!
Sir, deeply impressed with your accuracy. Measuring the diagonal on the columns at 7:08 was a first for me, I've never seen a bricklayer do that. OUTSTANDING! And then the framing square to make sure columns are true, again OUTSTANDING!!
Thank you very much!
😂 😂 😂 You have never seen someone measure diagonals to make sure it's square? Lol what bricklayers have you used?
u just working solo now chris??
Mainly, the clients boys are helping out though-:)
Well done Chris looks really good
Thanks 👍
Nice work and contrast
Thank you! Cheers!
Lovely work👍
Thank you! Cheers!
looking good
Thanks 👍
Hows your back mate?
going strong bud, at 59👊
@@foundationgood123 good stuff mate!
Use it or loose it
Tu fait pas de fondation ???
Oui mon pote, regarde ma vidéo...ruclips.net/video/9HFm2Tekabg/видео.html
@@foundationgood123 ah cool 😁
um why such a nice wall for a council house
Frog down 🤔🤔🤔
Sometimes it helps to gauge, however the frog fills with mortar- I know there's much debate over this...mainly I am building it frog up as you will see through the videos
