BJ , all due respect, weep holes are more for ventilation of the brick pocket (the air gap you mentioned), and not for water drainage. If you have enough water to leak out of the weep holes you will likely have water penetration evidence on the inside of the wall in the form of mold, decay, etc.
I don't get it. We don't use that in DK, but we have the same climate as in UK (cold, rain, fog, windy, sea close by so high humidity). Does UK walls really need this? Could it have to do a different materials or ratio in the mortar?
@@BJPoznecki Chicago you say, i could have sworn your accent sounded British. My bad :) Never the less, US climate is (for the most part of US) way better for masonry then the wet climate here. If such drains really are needed in US, it must have something to do with having been approved in extreme weather states or maybe it has to do with the fact that most US residence houses is/was wood, where wall "ventilation" ofc is needed
Super vid really clear 😊
I almost felt like you were telling us a secret your volume was so low
Yeah, sorry about that I didn’t have my lapel microphone with me when I shot that video.
Idk I can hear it loud and clear, and my volume on my 300$ phone isn't even all the way up.
Are you deaf 🧏♂️ it’s fine like that.
I don't know why I watched this but great video!
🤣 Well thank you for watching!
Thank you
Great video!

I would have preferred an illustration or video of the inside wall and covering as I don't understand how it is placed inside.
Good data!!!

I’m sorry I don’t know how you guys do things across the pond. That’s a drainage plain technique we do here in Chicago.
