    Stu you're such a legend mate. I'm a bricklaying apprentice and the different views i get from watching your videos -ie tips , about how horrible you apprenticeship was and even the little things just from watching you lay etc. Never stop uploading!! You're class.

    How do you ensure ur cut on the outside is the same on the inside (I imagine the stihl saw blade isn't big enough to go through both courses. Cut the brick take it out then do same with internally?)
    Also on a bungalow doing this on a wall with no window would u need a lintel?

    Hey i just found your channel and love the content! Its one of my dream to do what your doing, to build things like buildings by yourself but i also understand doing that job day in and out is therefore a physically demanding job. Therefore i was wondering, if you could do a video about the lifestyle yu need have, such things yu cant do (like eating certain like pizza or smoking all the time) and generally about the job/when yu should rest, like can you and should you work 7days a week- wont it lead to back ache and so forth. It would really help me and i would greatly appreciate it. Thank you and btw keep up the great work!

    I am planning a similar project like this for our bungalow. I plan to convert a 16 inch (42cm) wide window into French doors. I know this clip is about 2 years old but I’m hoping I’ll get a response from the channel’s owner or anyone who’s able to assist ☺️.
    How difficult a task is it to get the old lintel out and get a longer span lintel to go across the new French door’s frame? There’s about three courses of bricks on the lintel of the exterior wall.
    Thanks in advance 🙂

    Hi mate, how much would you charge roughly for converting a window to French door? The house is concrete with a render on the outside. Just wondering what I can expect from my quotes.
    Also, I need to have a patio installed. Do you think it makes a difference which order I have them done? Patio-doors/ doors/patio.
