Hello bud, looking good and taking shape! Today I passed my level 1 bricklaying course which I am absolutely delighted with 😁 I just want to say thank you as you were the first bricklaying TH-camr I watched and you’ve given me a lot of tips in your videos and I’ve also adapted to your buttering a brick method which has helped alot with my bricklaying skills and passing my bricklaying assessments, thanks bud appreciate it 🍻🎉
5:49 How is putting in the brick ties after the course has been laid still strong enough? And why were the ties not put on the mortar laid out before laying the brick?
I learnt you just got to put more water in and its fine but theres a very fine line before its to wet. Water the course you laying on as well to slow down the drying process. And a round piece of wood to point it, then i used a stiff brush to tamp it back the next morning and it tightens it up nicely. Can send a few pics if you need help
You need to humour the Brick, wet them up, you dont add normal cement plastizier to a preblended lime mortar. You need to add hydrated lime which is a natural plastisizer, and jointing should be a churn brush finish, 😂😂😂😂
When you say lime mortar is it just lime and sand like practice mortar or lime cement and sand I'm not sure because from what I've been told you guys use plasticizer instead of lime in the US our mortar has lime in it no plasticizer
Budd, If that lime is NHL (hydraulic), mix it for a good 20 to 30 mins, then leave it 24hrs and knock it up again and use it. Better still stick to that non Hydraulic wet mix you used on your herringbone. Cheers Andy
If it was up to me I would have thrown this gear in the skip, the customer supplied, usual thing explain what materials you want and the complete opposite appears 🤦♂️🤦♂️

Does lime mortar instead of cement mean the curing is slower and weaker for longer, and for how much longer, and how is the completed job affected?

That stuff needs to mix for at least 20 mins adding a little water every few minutes, and wet the bricks.
Great vids bud, keep them comin boy.

@@mikebryan544 yes thank you
What did you use when tooling the joints? I’ve never seen that before.

i like the old compressor hose on them joints

Hello - thanks for the video - why was lime mortar used over a sand/cement mix ? Cheers
It was the customers choice nothing more than that, thanks for watching 👍
