    I have to be honest. As a DIYer, brick laying is the easiest of the trades.

    Why bury that cable that was running along the wall? Wouldn’t it have been better to reroute it, in case access is needed to it in the future?

    When I was an apprentice brick layer I was taught not to tap on the level but to tap brick. Once you tap on an aluminum level it’s no longer accurate.

    Great work, I would add though they are gonna pop loose. The open centers will allow a bounce in the tread. And the brick will freeze before the tread stone. Next time fill the cavities and get a perfect smooth layer then set the tread in fortified mastic. That will stay for 100 years.

    I need to install a step like this at the back on my house on the extension so thought I would watch your video for guidance. I’ve got no problems doing this but my concern is the damp proofing. Doing this will surely bridge the damp proof or am I being over cautious?

  • @bastogne315

    God wish I had a trade instead of getting a degree. Wish they'd ran trade courses at my Uni. I would have done Anthropology and bricklaying. I'd charge 5000 quid for laying a few bricks in the morning and then read about Inuit women at night.
