      @AwakeNotWoke AwakeNotWoke I see the Victorian and Edwardian homes all the time as a roofing contractor around London. Their beautiful features on cornices etc which must have taken an age to do with no power tools etc have been left to rot and often crumple to the pavement below. The landlords have no interest in the buildings only the rent and just want everything felted over or whatever is cheapest

    I'm a brickie,39 years old and I've been doing this since I left school. I run two 2 & 1 gangs and this kid is correct, when you're running lightweight blocks in you can earn decent money.
    But if you average it out over the whole house/every lift and take into account all the days you aren't on Rockstar wages,I.e setting out corners,under DPC, loading out (yes some brickies still pitch in and help out the labourer from time to time),fitting window jambs and heads,gable cut ups etc etc. When you average that for every house over the course of a year and factor in bad weather,unpaid holidays you need days like this to make it worth while.
    I make a decent living but I've got 15 years left if I'm lucky, the only guys I've ever met who've made millions are brick barons with multiple gangs.
    Millionaire brick layers still on the trowel,I've never met one.
    These young brickies remind me of myself in 2008, 24 and I thought I had this game figured out, that recession was a humbling experience and the next one is going to be just as bad, let's see how many are posting videos next year boasting about how much money they are earning. I thought the same thing in 2008, they'll never shut the site,too much demand, they moth balled most sites overnight and we struggled for 18 months until things started back up again. Include a couple of recessions and forced early retirement and tell me how much you've actually earnt over your career and I guarantee you've not averaged £ 360 a day.

    Depends on the weather, availability of work, how complex the build is (not every house has straight walls with no windows or doors), what the going rate is (pay is great when times are great), and at the end of the day you aren't keeping that pace for 8 hours 6 days a week, nevermind the next 40-50 years toll it takes on your body. Times are great when you're a young man with cartilage to burn and no injuries to your body and at the moreover bricklayers will be one of the first occupations to go, we are already seeing machines specifically designed to lay bricks as its a repetitive easy to program task. Electricians, carpenters or even plumbers arent going to have that issue anytime soon as it's a lot more difficult of a task to automate and tedious to perform
