Question, no wash out blocks/bricks. How do you keep your cavity clean because even your internal skin has snott hanging from the beds. Another thing, they do make ties that wrap around the steel coloumn flange for brickwork where you dont have to screw into the column. Also the cutting into the brick toothing is a no go, because you have now effected the structural integrity of block. Brick and blocks both have difference expansion and contraction rates. Regardless of what the client wants, you should have allowed for an expansion joint as per code.
And steel expansion varying against block expansion. Snots should be faked out, but it is purely a storage area. When you cut a brick or block I would personally only cut when using solids.
Your a good bricklayer , i put 50 years in and loved it. But before I retired, i watched several young bricklayers starting new houses and was amazed they didn't have a clue how to set out or get a house square . And they were so full of themselves they didn't want to know . when i was young i was lucky enough to work with some really excellent very experienced tradesmen and if they were kind enough to teach me something i was very grateful. And of course you never stop learning. I always joked that you could teach a monkey to lay a brick , the tricky bit is getting them in the right place a
Izzy & Drew, another 'masterclass'! Utterly fantastic! What a job. Artistry! The pinnacle of brick laying. This is the best! One tiny issue! Izzy and Drew... eyewear when cutting blocks and bricks! And indeed power tools. Seriously here 'one -eyed' ''Joe'' seriously look after your eyes! Only takes a second to have an eye 'blinded'. And you have your looks to consider! Please. Thanks again! Brilliant.
You and Drew don't mess about do ya Izzy. What you guys managed to do on that first job in two and half days was amazing. Some might not realise that messing about with scaffolding, getting all that brick n block up there, the mortar, and doing all those cuts is really time consuming. Great stuff lads.
What you and I learnt on I never had a problem with them or ryarsh either either or too many softcocks these days never mind tiltup panels are the new thing here in western utopia
Just started watching your videos not only are you a excellent bricklayer but you make it look easy and you are so happy in your job wish more young people were so happy at work your parent must be so proud
Brilliant work as usual! Your video delivery, video graphics, clip transitions, and how you talk through processes is very professional. Wish there were more reliable brickies and contractors like you and Drew in London. One tip, though: get yourself a pulley system set up on the end of your erected scaffold and a long rope. Attach it to a bucket and pull your bricks and compound up, save yourself braking your back on a jobsite and you'll be sound as a pound 👌🏽
You should always be on price mate! Your work output and ethic is rare. So you’re doing more than your fare share! You better be on a big day work rate mate!
No wonder, Izzy and Drew, you were buzzing by the end of the week! Great work, attention to detail, spot on as always! Bet Drew enjoyed back on a "proper job!". Nice one lads! 👍
Im absolutely knackered just watching. Attention to detail is incredible. Like Clarkson did with farming you've managed to do for bricklaying ie make it unmissable viewing so congratulations for that aswell.
I've done enough DIYing to know: if this is the level of craftsmanship you show at every build, I'd pick paying you over trying to DIY every time. Looks great!
NEVER watched a brickie video but this was actually super interesting…you have a great affable way about you and I can see you not only love your job but you love the work you produce…well done chief props to you and your hardworking partner Drew.
Why didn’t you tooth in with bricks when backing it up and just butt up to it with your block to save making them daft cuts? It still wouldn’t of been a straight joint
Smashed it mate 👍 I'd consider more fixed price work, you just need to be confident with your quotes. With that unit job, I know it's not your issue but I'd be worried about the stability of the wall with it's small cavity, I would have suggested a pillar/buttress. Also leave a gap at the top, the steel will expand and flex. It's great you're showing another lad some tricks of the trade 👍
great to see a young lad who wants to get stuck in to some hard graft. hope he enjoys and sticks with it, in a few years he'll be doing good work for a good living.
32:21 is just peek content right there cried laughing it's so good and love the way you are teaching him with constructive criticism and having fun! Cheers
The scaffolding system is called Cuplock. Very flexible system to build a variety of platforms, very quickly. All you need is a plastic faced hammer and you're away.
Having a late buddy of mine I’d say one of the best hardworking fastest bricky I’ve ever seen , I’m so impressed with you lads on a similar level . Excellent work ethic and highest standard 🇬🇧👍🏻
Get the young lad a Marshalltown tile setting trowel. He'll get the control quicker and won't fuck up his wrist and elbow down the line. Expansion foam needed between steel and masonry. Productivity is off the scale, keep it up👍
hi Izzy, i am working on a factory unit and decided to use Ozzy profiles on the corners but wanted to make life easier with veneer profile clamps from bt engineering. what i done was get some 2 x 4 wood and cut it about 150mm long . then routed out 15mm wide by 15mm deep along the 2 inch side . screwed the veneer clamps to the wood. when using slide groves over the steel i beam and f clamp then i can clamp profile for external corner, intermediate or run block work between steels. hope this makes sense.
Should look at investing in a ‘Doff’ stone cleaner. Big investment but nothing beats it for cleaning brick/ masonry. Whole new aspect of business for you guys
Any decent RE on site will condemn or refuse to sign off works above 6 courses - backed up each face prior to starting again. Anchon hammer on ties are a better option than drilling / shot fixing - You should be using a flexcell expansion detail at all steel abutment joints. The purpose of this is to allow for movement between the steelwork and masonry. Steel will expand and contract and thus there is a risk of cracking where the 2 materials meet. Not too sure of the size of cavity - but saw no evidence of how the inner and outer skins are tied together. Same at gable abutment- no head restraint connection from steel to blockwork - normally debonded for expansion. That said - seems to be a good lad - good attention to detail and hard working.
There is nothing wrong with LBC heather's and even old bricks once jointed properly can look just as good ad new bricks.. Very pleased to see you are laying them frog up and you are so right about the setting out. School boy error safly most people will never notice it.
Not a bad days work there mate that is the sort of bricklaying I migrated to as houses don't pay and I was fed up with other people's carp work I used to lay on a stainless steel ledge and lay a few courses out then take a brick out every five or six bricks lay in some Hessian sacking then just strike the snots off easy enough to keep the cavity clean You have done a cracking job on there mate just a pity there are not enough tradesmen with the same work ethic
First plinth flush with the wall second plinth 56mm back from face, face brick 112.5 from face this will ensure that door openings will stay in brick also keep brick format size and all perps stay in line above and below plinth
I do hope I am alive in maybe 5 years time to see you saying " if i knew then what I know now I would have gone easier on my self" LMAO trust me it will catch up with you
No problem mate,may seem strange cause it leaves a little shelf but that is how they should be laid other wise you can end up putting 40mm in a wall that works brick
Im a stone mason 40 years at the game those lily's mint I've just rebuilt a gable what a job getting second hand ones to match in,that job your on with will look mint in 5 years time go on youngin 6:05
When wrapping around the steel frame, and butting up against the I-beam, won't the expansion and contraction of the steel, or the movement of it cause the bricks to crack or the mortar joints to fail?

There all ways one your it 😂
You should have never even commented, but you did.
You sound like the "there's only one way to do it" type guy lol. Learn some new skills mate be humble and shut up and you will learn.
Izzy is a natural teacher, invaluable experience for the young lad
Thanks so much mate appreciate it
You be a good teacher to the young bricklayer. Everyone got to start somewhere. We all started like that
Thanks so much mate appreciate it
Kudos to the lads dad, wants his son taught properly
Thanks mate really appreciate it

Great taste from the client, a plinth is a must, gives character to any build 👍
Thanks so much mate, looks great

Great to c a brickie that knows his stuff , fair play, neat work and a thumbs up to your colleague as well.
Cheers brother
Sorry you should have had a soft joint under that steel frame to allow for movement
Just started watching your videos not only are you a excellent bricklayer but you make it look easy and you are so happy in your job wish more young people were so happy at work your parent must be so proud
Thanks so much John really appreciate it, glad you found the channel 😊
As soon as you said we are using reclaimed bricks from the old building I thought oh no poor Drews in for a week of chisling mortar off 😂😂

You should always be on price mate! Your work output and ethic is rare. So you’re doing more than your fare share! You better be on a big day work rate mate!
Whatever this young man earns he deserves probably double.
225 a day he charges and 160 a day for labour so still not a bad screw on day rate 👍😁✌️❤️✌️
So is that 385 a day
No wonder, Izzy and Drew, you were buzzing by the end of the week! Great work, attention to detail, spot on as always! Bet Drew enjoyed back on a "proper job!". Nice one lads! 👍
Thanks so much mate 😌
not a single curse or swear word, beautifully edited. Prize the man who taught you well in life, you have no idea how good you are

You do need to learn how to spin the bricks properly though other than that quite a nice neat job.
Good Man. keep do what you doing 🏗️🏘️🏘️
Not a bad days work there mate that is the sort of bricklaying I migrated to as houses don't pay and I was fed up with other people's carp work

Charge double for everty block cut
Just wonder why the starters are never shown how to roll mortar properly makes it easier to spread
The mega wall. I was holding my breath when the first skin when up. Attention to detail on the gauge and cuts is spot on. Great effort in the time.
