Good to see the joints and collar joint being fully filled.
Proper grafted ; I’ve been putting em down for 40 years and that reminds me of when I worked in Germany back in the 19 92 pretty much the same style / keep on with the hard work mate you’re doing well 🍀👍
Cheers Shane 👍 I enjoyed this job, 2300 blocks in 4 days we were all feeling it afterwards 😅🤣
That looked like bloody hard heavy work,well done lads,great video
Cheers mate 👍🧱 the back was definitely feeling it after this job 🤣
Well done you nice to see someone doing it properly on you tube 😊
Cheers mate 👍🧱
Monster alright, backbreaking stuff, glad I'm not paying for it 😂
Haha, definitely back breaking 😬 2300 blocks went into that 😅💪🏻🧱
thinking of building a brick shed with a bunker under it. do you think i should do the walls like this? id be digging like 8 ft below ground level. id expect it to hold with the walls being that thick?
I’d suggest using the hollow blocks with rebar and concrete, two skins of that tied together would be bomb proof 💪🏻 probably be cheaper aswell 👍
@@MorganTheBuilder thanks for the response!!
@@ke161co no worries mate 👍🧱
Dont see any pipes built in for weep holes to drain the rain water out from the back of the wall
No, instead a 4inch land drain was put behind the wall and completely backfilled with gravel
Mortar galore to build that monster
Deffo mate, think we did 28 tubs on this wall 😱💪🏻🧱
@MorganTheBuilder hope it was worth it 👌
@@geraldhalbert2542 it was mate we made a decent coin out of it 👌🧱
Would have been nice if they had worked the corners to have worked blocks instead of having to do all those cuts in those whatever Nm concrete blocks.
The owner wanted it as tight to the boundary as possible, this is the best we could do to ensure we still got a good bond in the corner 👍
Some money in that, what did you come away with?
Can’t remember exactly pal. Think we got 1.70 a block and it took us 3 & 1/2 days to do about 2300 blocks
Some graft there lads, surely would of been easier and cheeper for a rc wall??
Cheers mate 👍🧱
To be honest I did suggest before we started, doing it differently. But it was abit of a last minute job, we came to assess the job and the previous groundworker had already cut away a lot of the banking where the neighbouring house is, so we had to move quite fast to stabilize the ground again, there wasn’t enough time to have a new plan drawn up to build it differently and this was already agreed so we had to go with it 👍
@@MorganTheBuilder makes total sense then just to crack on and get it safe with it been winter 👍rather you than me 😂
@@martinknight510 exactly mate 👍 👌 haha 👍🤣
£££ 👍👍👌
3.60£ flat laid blocks :)
I wish it was on this job mate 🤣👍 think we were getting £1.70 a block but we were throwing them in, don’t have to make much effort with these, still made a decent coin too 👌🧱
Thats bad because laying normal block is 1.80 lol i used to lay flat and get £3.60 per one if you wss getting 1.70 you was getting mugged off mate
@@pofkebiceps8676 yeah but the owner was tight as cramp so that’s why the rates were low 🤣 still made some decent money from it so I’m not complaining 👍
400 blocks a day ???? 🏴
We did about 600 a day on this wall 💪🏻👍🧱
@@MorganTheBuilder Each ?? 💪🏴
@@johnbowkett80 nooo haha, we’re not that good 🤣 between 2 brickies and a labourer 👍🧱
@@MorganTheBuilder 600 really ? Should easily lay 600 one man . Most I layed in one day was 1500 on job like that and that's mixing own mortar
@@Derekryan456 impossible 🤣🤣
Footing should have steped wall not battened correctley looks like no drainage out lets built in
Are you a structural engineer?
Why does the footing need to be stepped? The site isn’t on a slope
A 4 inch land drain was installed afterwards, and the wall backfilled completely with gravel
@@MorganTheBuilderthe step gives the wall more purchase on the footing,glad you remembered to put in drainage but it should have been at the back of the battered block work but you left your footing very tight but still and all a tidy job
@@brendanmalone463 it’s just how it was designed mate 🤷♂️ the footing was tight because it was as close to the boundary as we could get it
