Good to see you using the hardened edge of the trowel to cut a brick and using the tip of the ytrowel to strike the joint
Cheers Peter 😁🧱👍🏽
Looking forward to it!
James King 🧱👍🏼
Absolutely fantastic job. Alex has come on well. Built proper like. Always nice to see someone who is skilled and takes pride in their work.
Cheers Nigel , he’s got the basic skills nailed now it’s time to build up the speed 🧱👍🏼
Like the little drag technique to do the head joint! You need yourself a "Charlie Belt" for your brick Hammer and trowel! Keep up the good work the house looks great!
Cheers David 🧱👍🏽
Imagine how many brick walls you will have built over your lifetime and how they will still be standing in 100, 200, 300+ years from now! I am computer programmer and what I produce is lucky to last 10 years. Fascinating content, thanks for sharing your work. Mine would not be anywhere near as interesting.
😁 Thanks very much , glad you enjoy the channel 🧱👍🏽
And that scaffolding is why I preferred building overhand , there’s no room on that scaffold I’d bang my head every time I went for a brick or a trowel of mortar, and yes that’s what I used to do with the brick then my hodsman told me to cut them on the ground as I was making him carry up too many hodfulls
Yep I was taught Overhand in the 80 s , a good skill to have 🧱👍🏼
Good looking work guys!
Richard Humber Cheers Richard 🧱👍🏼
Just excellent work there lads top team awesome thanks 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Phil Glover Nice one Phil 🧱🧱👍🏼
Top quality work. Like how you sorted that top Apex strap, extra points for that. Hope Alex back in action soon, and you get lots more deserved work. Look forward to the next one.
John Coppock . Cheers John “the brickies will get over it “ as we always do 😉👍🏼🧱
Awesome pike work lads very tidy !!!
John Buist Cheers John , the intermediate Blake’s were a massive help 🧱👍🏼
Good job lads, as I said before its good to see Al Coming along👍, tell you what lads that scaffold is a shambles
betty swollocks . Cheers pal we can’t wait to get on the next one 🧱👍🏼
@@SteveAndAlexBuild onwards and upwards lads
betty swollocks Yep 🧱🧱👍🏼
great work👍🏼👍🏼
huza maju Cheers pal 🧱👍🏽
Top work lads that brick work was spot on 👍👍👌👌👌
Mark Hep .cheers mark , nice brick to lay not so nice to cut on ab angle 😆🤪🧱👍🏼
@@SteveAndAlexBuild 😂😂😂that was funny when you lost it. Good to see that I not on my own smashing bricks 😂😂😂👍👍👍
Mark Hep That was edited down too! 😬🤣🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild 😂😂😂👍👍👍
Mark Hep 😉🧱👍🏼
Looks like you had a right one on you that day Steve! 🤔😂. Still laying them like a boss though. And fair play to the gang that did the adjacent gable - looks tidy. And as we all know the higher up Brickies go the less they give a shit. The state of some gables I've seen over the years is shocking. Sounds odd but that;s how I measure a good bricky - when they do good work even when you can't see it!
Matt Cartwright Cheers Matt , totally agree with you there 🧱🧱🧱👍🏼
Hiya boys, nice video 😁👍. I can't believe how little room you've got on that scaffold especially those tiny hop ups - that must have been really difficult to work 😤😤.
You could get an old hand saw for those gable blocks, your forearms must have been painfully by the end of the day Steve.
Hope Al is all better now 👍.
Hope you have a great weekend boys.
Regards
Tim
Tim Margereson . Cheers Tim it was a bit snug 😬. Al back to full fitness now . ☝️🧱👍🏼
@@SteveAndAlexBuild 🤣🤣, I don't mind snug but that was ridiculous 😉🤣🤣
Tim Margereson 😬🤣🧱👍🏼
The "brick smashing rage".......we all know that feeling, Steve! 😠😠😠😂
This was the edited version 😂🤣
if there are any scaffolders on here, can you confirm this narrow scaffold for a 900 gap has 2 ledgers instead of the usual 1 to each edge of the scaffold.
EDIT: I can see the 2 ledgers (4 in total) in the video the second time around. Puzzling, I don't understand why the scaffolder has used 2 unless it is to reduce an already narrow gap.
😬🙄🧱👍🏽
A little 18v grinder would be handy. Have you got your profiles marked to gauge for the pikes? Alex looked like Hand off the munsters. Great job thanks again.
Oncewasdonka Yeah definitely. No we don’t mark up the profiles and Nd Al is all mended now. ☝️👍🏼🧱
Great vid !! Love the chest cam footage!! 😀👍
Mmm it’s ok but the aim is off a bit sometimes . Got a head cam but can’t use it with a hard hat 🙄.
Been trying your pick n dip method this week , deffo find it better than the traditional method , cheers for the video . Just need to get Alex on board now to get us both a bit faster 🧱👍🏽
Bricklaying With Steve and Alex, yeah I take my hard hat off when head camming!🙈The site manager doesn’t like it though !! Brill about pic and dip! Slightly harder with perforated but totally doable. The only time I don’t pic and dip these days is if the mortar is too wet. Everything else is game on.👍 😀 ps great vids as usual 👌👍
@@brickworkfundamentals4636 Cheers pal , I’ve got some double sided sticky mounts that come with the GoPro, might try sticking it on the peak of me hard hat 🤔
Yeah that will work! Just practice with a few different head cam mount angles. I thought I’d done some amazing filming then when i watched it back... The screen was pretty much blank and all the bricklaying was mostly out of shot! 👎👎 now I have the mount on 45 degrees and as low down on forehead as poss. Gets the bricklaying bang in the centre of screen every time! Good luck 👌👍
@@brickworkfundamentals4636 Thanks for the tips as ever 👌🏼🧱👍🏼
My misses thinks im mental because i work on site all week (im a Joiner) , and then enjoy watching these vids at the weekend.
I’m even worse , I spend hours editing and then I watch all the other brickies 🧱😂🤣👍🏼🧱
Same mate therapy I think it’s called 😂🙌
Frank Sexton 👌🏼🧱👍🏼
Brill neat work mates. Them profiles are they called intermediate profiles. How do u attach them to wall please?
They are pal .... Blake’s intermediates .
If you go back a bit we have a video on how to set them up 👌🏼🧱👍🏽
Yep, we’ve all had days like that...I hate these modern bricks....lol...😏
Stu N , I edited a lot of that tantrum 🤣😆
nice job as always steve you could do with a cordless grinder m8 take care guys
mick broadbent Definitely , thanks pal 🧱👍🏽
Great work guys. Must admit gables not my favourite part of the job
Stuart Jones . Cheers Stu , I quite enjoyed these , but then ive been in footings for 10 long years 😆🧱👍🏼
I can build a really good straight wall but it takes me ten times longer than you :) excellent vid Steve I am leaning a lot
Buddy's Insight Great to hear pal 🧱👍🏼
I am not sure what I am looking in the ceiling area under the trusses, the orange egg crate looking surface?
Hi Calvin . It’s called a trad deck . It’s a health and safety measure and can be worked on . Very good invention 🧱👌🏼👍🏽
Looks like a hard job to make money on lads . How did you get on with the dinger jointer in the end ?
Neil Smart . The first one is always a practice , we enjoyed it though. Not used it enough yet but seems ok so far 🧱👍🏼
when are we going to see a collab between you guys and other well known you tube bricklayers? there was talk about this when lockdown first started back in march.🤔
We all hoping to get together ASAP . Not Been ideal this year 😷🧱👍🏽
Good show gents , but in general site and price work,just isn't what we're looking for 👍👍
Ian Howard 🧱👍🏼
You could really do with a stihl saw mate 😂😂 so much easier👍🏻👍🏻
James Lawlor You’re not kidding 🧱👍🏼
Steve you Al do work hard but those bricks look bad
we've had worse 😬🧱👍🏽
I have a question as a layman. I am not a builder, brickie or anything else, just an incompetent DIY idiot but I have been reading about cavity insulation recently as I'm not certain that the newer part of my house (~20 years old extension) has cavity insulation and I'm looking at whether I should do it if not. You hear horror stories about cavity wall insulation causing awful damp problems and as I understand it, it's when excess blobs of mortar land on and stick to ties (snots, I think?), which I assume is pretty hard to control even if you're super neat as you guys seems to be. I have seen other building videos where they used Celotex/Kingspan in the cavity against the block with a small airgap to the outer skin, so I'm wondering why on these houses they would take the risk of eventually causing damp in a brand new house by using blown insulation rather than closed cell boards: Is a it a cost thing or is modern blown insulation just much better than whatever used to be used? In my case the extension doesn't seem all that well built so frankly if it isn't already insulated it might well not be suitable, but I'm trying to learn and understand more. Really enjoy your vids though, helpful for my small DIY projects to see the mortar consistency in action as I have no clue otherwise!!
it’s all about cost these days . Your extension should have been insulated as it’s not that old .
Glad you enjoy the channel 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild ah OK, I did wonder! Thanks for the reply.
@@stevepettifer4896 🧱👍🏽
Nice work like always lads..what going on with the insulation? Do they blow it in later..and the red plastic Lego slab things..what's that please..🙂
Cheers Wayne , yeah blown in from inside . The orange things are Trad deck so we can’t fall in , they replace bean bags and you can load out and work off it , great idea 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild saves time with them doing the insulation...I bet the guys doing the trad deck find it a ball ache lol..hope the contractor can give you another build..best of luck lads 🙂
my pencil ART. Wayne Bailey . They have it sussed and get it up very quick . It’s great stuff 🧱👍🏼
Lovely but, how come the cuts are a bit rough.? Why did you not uses a disc cutter.?
craighughes craig Cheers Craig we don’t have a petrol one . The. Cuts are ok as the is no soffit just a dry verge 🧱👍🏼
Have you looked on screwfix site for a block hand saw mate? It was my best mate on therm blocks and especially for the cut ups (or pikes as you lot over there call them) 😂
I tried to post the link but it wouldn’t let me pal
Ricky Warfield Cheers pal I will have a look 🧱👍🏼

Bob Hendry . I’ve had a rare cider tonight 🤪😆
Well deserved m8🏴👍👍👍
Me too Bob Friday night definitely a beer night. O Yere and Mon tue wed Thurs sat and Sun 😂😂🍻👍
@@markhep takes the stresses of the the week away m8. Not easy being bricklaying superstars👍
How long do you leave it til you joint up mate? Do you have to have to leave it a short while or can you do it straight away and it won’t look a mess once it’s dried? Cheers, good video
Adam Dinsdale It’s all down to the bricks and that are all different . It can go from jointing some brick every course to the others extreme of some engineering brick in winter can be jointed the next day. 😬🧱👍🏼
Bricklaying With Steve and Alex what about those that are middle of the road. Do you have to stop laying an hour before you finish to let it partially dry so to speak? Reason I ask is I’m about to do an extension for my dad which is brick. I have some experience with brickwork but it’s mainly been rustic type bricks so you could say there more margin for error. It’s all stonework round my area mainly you see. Just don’t want to make a tit out of myself for jointing up too early/late and make a mess. Any advice would be great. Cheers
Adam Dinsdale .All I can say is when it feels dry to the touch but not hard give it a try 👌🏼🧱👍🏼
Bricklaying With Steve and Alex decent. Thanks chaps
Adam Dinsdale Good luck 🧱👍🏽
Whats the obsession having spot boards on the ankle height?
Viktor Vovk . Don’t know ours are knee night 🤷🏽♂️🧱👍🏼
Bloody BBC repeats, l’ve heard that Jeremy Vine show before 😆
Nic Pye 🤣😂📻🧱👍🏽
Good vid pal do you get extra with having to cut the brick yourself on the pikes 👍🏻
Not a chance mate 🤣. just spent 2 days finishing a garage a never got paid ... it was overbooked apparently 😳😩🧱👍🏽
What 👎 I hate that with the garages. The garages I do the doubles are a joke on the price they never work out the money they tell you. That’s why I stick to the singles if I can. The money works out better.
Do you get a full price on your site or is it lift prices
Rowlock Construction The houses are divided up into equal lifts 🧱👍🏼
Hi Steve,what was the name of the company, where you bought your radio,I need to buy one,
minecraft king Google .. Passiontec or the actual radio and they both should come up . It’s the DMR 115 🧱👍🏽
Many thanks,👍🇮🇪🇮🇪
minecraft king 🧱👍🏼
Great videos lads what make is that brick hammer👍
Frank Sexton I’ve just Googled it and it’s a Bacho brick hammer . I was given it by a customer and it’s the best one I’ve used in 30 years . Great cutter and nicely balanced 👌🏼🧱👍🏼
Thanks for the information lads I’m on Amazon just now looking for one 🤣cheers✌️
Frank Sexton good luck 🧱👍🏽
Just bought some of them profiles. Seems like there is a lot of flex in them. Not to sure about them
Karl Twigger . Are they Blakes because mine are solid 🤔💪🏼🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild . Yes mate
Can honestly say it's like putting a roofing latt up.
Karl Twigger Have you tightened the two adjustment nuts to plumb up ? 🧱👍🏼
Yes I think so. Going to give it another go when I am topping out again.👊👊👊👊👊
I'm not in the building game but what are those red plastic trays on the inside
Martin . Straight to the point 👌🏼🧱👍🏼
Did you get another plot Steve?
danny wilkins mmmmm yes n no , been told which plot we are getting but that was last Monday and it keeps getting put off 😳🧱👍🏼
Fingers crossed bud🤞
danny wilkins Definitely 🧱👍🏼
Is there no cavity wall insulation or is it blown in later lads 👍
correct Frank ..blown i from inside 🧱👍🏽
Thanks lads keep them coming 💚
Frank Sexton 🧱👍🏼
Wow talk about rushing. Not having a good day I presume?
😬👍🏼🧱
😂😂😂 god u reminded me of myself when you lost your shit and started smashing bricks! Please don’t edit these! It’s piss funny!
😡😤🤬😂😂🧱👍🏼
