My dad and I worked together briefly on a few big projects including a commercial building. Now he is retired but still helps me out from time to time with small stuff at work. Even though it wasn't always easy, looking back I really enjoyed working with my dad and wish it wasn't such a short amount of time that ended so abruptly. Those were exciting times and the feeling of working side by side with your dad is almost indescribable. We're lucky to have fathers who care about us, because there are so many out there who hate their dad or don't even know who he is. Cherish the time you spend with yours, as I do. Keep up the good work boys, can't wait to see the garden wall finished!
What great customers to work for, well looked after !!! Absolutely love these videos with you and KC 👍 you both must be proud of the channel and it's impact on so many.
Question time with KC and Stu. Brilliant! I'm not a bricky and I have no desire to be one, but your videos are fun to watch Stu, which is why I keep coming back time and again!
Brilliant video Stu loved those pies! The builder I have used in the past was at the time my nearest neighbour so on a Friday I used to treat him and his colleague to fish and chips! Not many bricks were laid on Friday afternoon but as I was doing the labouring for them I was glad about that! Cheers mate.👍👍👍
Its great to see a father and son getting on and working together reminds me of my pops when we layed bricks together alot of lads would make snide remarks how they couldnt work with there old man , you pair a re showing yourselfs up to be gentlemen👏
Brilliant relationship between you and your dad Stu! Always enjoy your content. Never actually realised you own a Type R either, good man🤙🏻 keep up the top work pal
I'm currently doing my level 1 bricklaying at college, already have my cscs labourer card, just passed my driving test last month. As soon as I go onto level 2 I'm going to be looking for an apprenticeship so hopefully things go well.
Hi Stu,, as a Landscape gardener I've done work like this, but it takes me a long time,, you do make it look easy,, and its not,, Great video,, watched about 10 of these now.. 👍👍👍
You do awesome brickwork but nobody is explaining how to build the footings how much weight they can hold what preparation needs to be done to the ground for and clay gravel
Great to watch. If building a back garden wall 12 metre long by 2 metre high is it necessary to have piers? Or can a double skin wall be built to these dimensions and tied together? Any help appreciated.
After quite a few videos of yours watched, I now building a garage. Never done it before.... 🤷🏻♂️ it’s 9.9 x 6.7 meters. The only problem I encountered, is that building sand I got, it is really bad. Can not get a creamy mix.... and done my back in, as garage being built out of hollow concrete blocks 🧱
Just to let ya know Stu Sika bought the Everbuild brand in 2013 which is probably why you thought that :) Great vid. I do like English bond, with bang on pointing the work can really stand out compared to normal stuff 80% of the country has. thumbs up.
White Van Man talk to him he probably doesn’t see what he’s doing ,tell him straight you want to be mates but you can’t until he changes & respects you....worked for me with my mum🍀
There was a serious discussion point going on there regarding apprenticeship. The UK lag behind this in a big way. We need apprenticeships, apprenticeships and apprenticeships.
You can't whack working at a good tea house, it makes customer relations so much better. I never ask for a brew, but it's nice when they offer. After being on one job for nearly four hours, she comes out and says, if you lads want a tea or a coffee, there's a garage on the corner sell it...aw right thank's for that luv
Good day Sir, I want to built a braai with a chimney, can you advise on the chimney part how to built especially the sloping portion so that it doesn't fall in while you built it and the height of the chimney so that it extract the smoke nicely while you braai. I am staying in South Africa and admire your talent and the fact that your father is doing it with you . In South Africa we talk about braai whereas in other countries they taljk about barbecue.
I've come across your channel as I am looking for help in how to lay a brick wall at my home. I want to do it myself as I dont want to risk the health of work man coming to my home and with it being such a small walk as well. The relationship you have with you dad is brilliant. Life goals right there for most people.
I've worked with my dad for 31 years now in the roofing game . Your relationship with your dad seems very familiar Stu...my old man made me serve 5 years of an apprenticeship and started me on a YTS at 16 earning £17.50 a week.....guess we've all got to start somewhere mate...love your on the job videos. 👍
Glad to see the pies out Stu, great information video to show people how it's done right first time !, These people don't half spoil you n KC , brews biccies n din dins have a few 100 reclaimed bricks at home in sunny Farnworth, Accrington's of course mainly n me lads got 3 pallets on his drive across from me , proper man's bricks 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪👍
Massive respect to you and KC, going above and beyond trying to restore the good faith is tradesmen once had before all the chancers and cowboys came along
You really should keep your story poles a bit cleaner Stu. There are glaring smudges from the mortar. Just teasing brother I wanted to have the first troll comment on the feed 🤣🤣. Great video love the family bond you guys share. Blake from Alabama
Dad and son time having a Laff while working I miss days like that but roll reversal now I have my son helping me 😊 Dream job food and drink like that !! What mix are you using for your mortar as looks greyer than mine could it be I’m not using enough cement dust? Have fun and make the most of all your dad son,mum daughter,mum son& dad daughter moments as they can go in the blink of an eye 😊 Keep up the great videos 👍🏻👍🏻(I’m not a bricklayer I’m a diy man when it comes to this sort of thing)
Hi Alan sometimes you get different shades of cement due to in different parts of the country there is different types of sand hope this answers your question
Stu, i started serving my time, done three years out the four. My third year was city and guilds advanced craft bricklaying, missed the silver trowel by one mark. Thought I knew it all, so my fourth year left my apprenticeship and went to work with a squad on pricework. Great idea at the time, but never done my skills test, so never finished my apprenticeship. Now with this Cscs card, it’s as if I never done anything. How do I go about getting my card and getting on site legally with the proper card. I’ve been going on sites with a labourers card, and building away, but I want the card I’m entitled to, any advice?
4:50 "engineering bricks, 65mm" Class B bricks have a water absorption of less than 7%. They should be alright laid with some stiffer muck to compensate the wet brick.
Mate you leave some comments, are you a bricklayer or a googler. The bricks were saturated completely and it was raining heavy, whatever the mix it’s difficult in those conditions.
Quick question, do the string lines not sag? Are they more for lining up the bricks rather than levelling? Appreciate you making these videos, very helpful and mesmerising to watch.
@@Stucrompton1 honestly I've got the green DeWalt laser and on these dull days I was able to see the light 13 metres away,great for a quick check on levels.
Loving the father- son relationship, cherish every second stu.
@C II KC is Stu's dad , Stu calls KC dad loads of times
Hey Mike how are you? where city do you live? Am Mexican and I like see your videos am a construction worker too

It's amazing how any of the construction holds up with as much rain you guys get. You're always working in the rain
Im with KC on the pie eating methods.
Brilliant video Stu loved those pies!
The builder I have used in the past was at the time my nearest neighbour so on a Friday I used to treat him and his colleague to fish and chips! Not many bricks were laid on Friday afternoon but as I was doing the labouring for them I was glad about that!
Cheers mate.👍👍👍
"look at that like, it's a right Bobby dazzler" Ha ha... love it 👍
KC & Stu's pie master class you can discuss pies from all over the UK. What a great addition to your great videos lol
One of the best dinner time programmes I've seen. KC 'salt of the earth'. Catch up with you both soon.
That is a top tip on covering the jumbo bags from KC.
I don’t get why the odd few put a thumbs down on these videos... everything is spot on! Keep up the great work the pair of you 💪🏼
It’s brilliant u two your showing your acting stu u got a great sense of humour,, and as always first class work guys
Great to see the BT Bricksaw in action Stu! Makes those cuts a dream!

Conscientious work ( even going so far as to protect the pavement) . Keep a close eye on that Stihl saw !
Superb video once again mate love your work KC needs his own show 😂😂

Its great to see a father and son getting on and working together reminds me of my pops when we layed bricks together alot of lads would make snide remarks how they couldnt work with there old man , you pair a re showing yourselfs up to be gentlemen👏
So true, most people come into the trade not wanting to do the labouring part, but it’s a must
Brilliant relationship between you and your dad Stu! Always enjoy your content. Never actually realised you own a Type R either, good man🤙🏻 keep up the top work pal
Stu and kc at it again!

Oh man really makes me wish my dad wasn't ill, God bless
Hope he gets better mate
Loving these new videos Stu
Yours and your dads relationship is perfect man. Keep it ❤️
I'm currently doing my level 1 bricklaying at college, already have my cscs labourer card, just passed my driving test last month. As soon as I go onto level 2 I'm going to be looking for an apprenticeship so hopefully things go well.
The sand used for the muck in the UK, what grain size is that? It looks almost like whipped cream and very easy to work with, love it.
7:55 I am 38. I am starting a part time level 2 bricklaying course in early Sept. Gonna take a year to complete.
bunch of quality grafters ❤😂
That KC is a bloody mind reader! Ask him what the lotto numbers are for Saturday, will ya! :)
Great relationship you two!
Superb laying lads - nothing makes a firm like farther’n son :)
Awesome mugs guys and those pies look banging 👌
I am watching from Russia
Nice job great customer looking after ya lads
Hi Stu,, as a Landscape gardener I've done work like this, but it takes me a long time,, you do make it look easy,, and its not,, Great video,, watched about 10 of these now.. 👍👍👍
i will agree that its not to late to get a trade as i did an apprenticeship at 36 in bricklaying
You guys got it made on this job - good for you
You do awesome brickwork but nobody is explaining how to build the footings how much weight they can hold what preparation needs to be done to the ground for and clay gravel
Team players nice to see fatha n son happy wiv each others company even laying bricks in that wet stuff good on ya lads
Still easy the best wall on TH-cam 💯
“So many nice people out there its frightnin” kc is a legend 😂

Please tell me, you didn't lay concrete as a footing before putting the first row of bricks?????
Could you please show us for step by rep video Bricklyer out side .thank you

Top job Stu and KC as always 👌🏻
Nice video stu. Funny👍
Such a cracking dad...... where my dad is trying to fiddle 🎻 the system and will not even help me in with messages lol
What sort of footing do I need for a garden wall that’s retaining 500mm of soil please?
I wish my dad would talk to me as his equal like KC does. All I ever get is put in my place for having an opinion. A great relationship you both have!
White Van Man talk to him he probably doesn’t see what he’s doing ,tell him straight you want to be mates but you can’t until he changes & respects you....worked for me with my mum🍀
You have to show your dad your opinions produce something good, my dad was the same about TH-cam, now he loves it
Fantastic work , I'm watching you from Iraq.
And what’s material you use for change color sand because I seen on some your video sand bricks it was black color.thanks
There was a serious discussion point going on there regarding apprenticeship. The UK lag behind this in a big way. We need apprenticeships, apprenticeships and apprenticeships.
I prefer to start 1st course stretcher rather than header as it's easy to get a harf in your wall especially on longer runs!
Keep up the good work 👍
What did you do the base please
Think we get our music from the same place lol .. good vid pal

Always look after your workmen and they will look after you…feed them pies, tea and biscuit.
Hi guys, why does this wall require a damp proof course? Thanks
It's not a dpc, it's to cover the bricks from the rain!
@@johnroberts6251 i didn't notice that until i watched the next vlog
Good work
The local merchants where I live don't cover any blocks or bricks and they deliver them absolutely soaking.
James Fraser same mate. Can really f*ck your day up.
And then the pre mix comes in like soup!
Jim Doc I don’t even attempt to lay, learnt that lesson the hard way

Dust bed with cement
nice work,
watching from iraq.
is this soft sand you use with cement ?
Do the owners get a discount for that job
Use your green laser to transfer the levels mate,so much quicker and more accurate
Wry hard to see in daylight but I will be checking as I go up
