Izzy your tuthings and the bats swimming have a half bag cement ready as you lay and just spread thin neat dry cement onto brick prior to laying bed to each course and your reveal will stay sturdy
Can't believe all the alterations hope you allowed 25% on top of time and cost plus
Malcs in Perth WA ♥️ still keep a eye on you both 😊
toothing
Did you forget the cavity batts top of cavity😢
Watched this , and really enjoyed it ! Brought back memories!! Missus had a glint in her eye ! She said she was hoping for some excitement herself tonight , but , realized her luck was out , coz , I was already fulfilled!!
It's almost like the client and architect only just met! What a nightmare.
The work looks absolutely flawless.
It's crazy Adam! And there were so many Alterations while I was building it too😅😅 ah well, all in a day's work I guess😂 new video out today at some point 😊
This country needs more men like you Izzy.
Dont forget the input of Drew..
Haha cheers Tony appreciate it😊
This county needs a lot men like you Izzy !
In next weeks episode , customer decides to demolish the new first floor extension and build a bungalow instead.
😂
😅😅
🤣🤣
😂😂😂 it wouldn't surprise me mate😂😂
WTF ?
So many alterations… and your attitude of let’s make the family happy for decades to come 👏🏻👏🏻 truly top craftsmen 👍🏻
Thanks very much mate! That's what it's all about at the end of the day really,no point getting upset like some people would 😂
Hope your well mate! New video out today at some point 😊
It was a joy to see you and Drew enjoying yourself while you are performing and committed to quality robust work
Like your attitude, work ethic and enthusiasm. Hapless amateur DIYer but learning loads watching you at work, pleasure to watch.
Thanks Poppy! Can't start sulking about when there's work to be done 😂 appreciate your support! New video out later today 😊
I love an alteration 🤑🤑🤑 along with the reply to the client, “We are trying to keep on track along with all the alterations.” 🤑🤑🤑
Resin every time for patio mate. Yes its more expensive than a muck joint but its quicker and you can do it in the rain! Some changes goin on there with the mansion build! Just hate it when customer says:-" can you just do this"!
Cheers mate will look into it! Constantly constantly changing mate...it's the never ending job😂 new video out today Paul😊
When i started sketching out jobs someone once said to me while it's just in pencil it's not costing anything... Technically there's a time element cost but his point was if you draw say 3 options and you iron out all these things like light into rooms and space for very specifically sized TV's it's still a lot cheaper and easier than building a place then altering it all again afterwards. I've always found though that some clients cannot picture anything until it's physical built 🤦🏻♂️ Fantastic attitude as always Izzy!! 💪🏻
You couldn't be more right there mate! Definitely hard to picture when things keep changing and new ideas keep popping up😂 thanks for the support mate, new video out today for you mate! Hope you and the family are all well 😊
I had no idea it takes 12 hours to edit a 23 minute video. I am impressed 👍
As you say, Izzy, the client has to be happy with what he wants! Heartbreaking, having to redo, but as usual, fantastic work on the alterations. Your joinery skills were impressive also! Drew doing some fine work as well! Great work lads!
That's what it's all about really Alan!😊 Thanks for the support. Always hard to make alterations and make them blend perfectly, but we didn't do too bad😊 new video out later on hopefully
Loving the vid, as always. As a DIY renovator / project manager/ general donkey it’s great to get an insight. Your style is very entertaining and engaging. A true professional. 👏
Thanks Bry! Very glad to hear your enjoying the style of videos and that mate 😊 all the best😊
Excellent work as usual guys, your client must have more money than sense 😂
Cheers Jim, appreciate your support as always mate! Something along those lines😂 all the best brother
Love drew is top lad that day when I pulled up and said ur that guy from utube 😂😂 he's face was 1st class wish I would of filmed it lol 😆 😂😂
Haha he's a right geeza mate😂 hope you and the family are all doing fantastic brother 🤜🤛💪
You and drew are the dream team. That really is the dream house. Grand job. Weathers been shit for you 2.
Haha we ain't bad together Ian! Thanks very much! All the best nate😊
Outstanding trowel. Good jobs mate. I’d be using profiles on those nibs 😂 keep up the good work
Thanks so much mate appreciate it
It is interesting to see how you are building the walls! I live in Ukraine, here we use blocks from aerated concrete for 50-75% of new private houses.
With proper thickness of the block, there is no need for insulation. Result is cheaper comparing to brick walls.
Very interesting mate. I like to hear how different counties build. Hope you and the family are doing well my friend 😊
Good job izzy, always a pain in the arse to make alterations!
Nothing worse than the feeling of taking your own work down 😫
Madness ain't it! Ah well, all in a day's work I guess 😂...well a day's work for me😅 hope your well
"Drew and I..." haha nice update Izzy loads of good content in this one.
YES! Been working on my grammar a little bit😂
Really starting to appreciate your talent kidder , your ability to talk layman will fetch a new style of kids in our trade plus bein honest around a mistake an highlighting they are OK to make. Your enthusiasm is spot on an it works. Keep it up pal .
Thanks so much for the kind comments mate really appreciate it ☺️ all the best
Seeing how Drew is coming along ,I,d be inclined get another hoddy with the proviso that if he ever struggled(the new hoddy).Drew would drop in alongside the new man to help out.
Cripes .......clients eh , what are they like ? They never heard of 3D room planning software thats for sure . Great work chaps !
Thanks very much mate! Was a pain to sort out, but we got there💪💪
Great work pal... this definitely warrants the dramatic hands on the head thumbnail 😂
Yeaa boii! So many changes going on. It's madness 😂
This channel moving nicely in the right direction 💯😎😎 good stuff Izzy hope ya well bud 👍
Cheers Bill, appreciate it big time brother! All well here mate, enjoying the long weekend, just uploading the next video 😊
Great job on the extension and alterations guys. Keep a good customer happy and they'll recommend you to friends 👍👍
Cheers Simon appreciate it! Hope to get plenty of work from all these jobs😊 new video out today and hope you've enjoyed your weekend 😊
Great video. Lovely work
With the cavity-wall being bridged with insulation (insulation touching the outer walls), moisture will transmit from the damp outer wall through the bridging insulation to the inner wall . Cavity walls that already built up can NOT have cavity wall insulation added.
Cavity wall insulation can only be installed from the start of construction of the cavity walls and there must be a LARGE air space gap in-between the face of the cavity-wall insulation batts(panels) and the OUTER WALL inside the cavity ; this ALSO includes an air space gap in-between the face of the cavity-wall insulation batts and the cavity wall-tie drip-point, which must point downwards in the centre of the cavity. Cavity wall-ties are laid with a slight downwards slope across the LEVEL mortar joints from the inner to the outer walls. Ask N.V.Q. City & Guilds BRICKWORK teachers for PROOF of this
Bloody hell Izzy. Your client must have wads of money to afford a rebuild like that😱 Drew coming on very impressively 👍
Drew is smashing it as always mate😂 cheers for the support Doug 😊
The job looks good your correct they pop nice keep the nice work brother
Had a customer a few years ago in swanage, completely wired new 6 bed home and annex, literally just wired the board, whilst my guys are second fixing the remainder of the house, and I got a phone call.....slight change of plan, they want it all changed, kitchen now upstairs as they get better views and bedrooms going downstairs........rather than bodge it, we decided to rip it all out and start again.......some people clearly have more money than me 😂😂
Classic example why I don’t do private jobs anymore. Stick to site work. Great content and work mate keep it up 👍
Great video! With alterations 2 and 3 be careful to include any dot and dab walls and decorative end panels for your kitchen wall unit measurements! If it's a tight kitchen that could cause issues 👍
Love the effort you put into the videos. Not a bricklayer but I never miss an episode! Keep it up lads!👏
Thanks very much! Glad your appreciate it mate! Hoping you've enjoyed your weekend brother! New video out later on today😊
Fantastic video, keep it up!
Lovely brick .....get away with murder 😂😂
😂😂😂😉
Got to give it to you I love watching the videos and really impressed with your work quality and neat workmanship the way it should be 💪
Thanks very much mate, always try hard on these jobs, especially ones such as this, cos it's just so big and it's got my name all over it💪 new video out later on today 😊
Top quality work and excellent explanation
Cheers Greg, really appreciate it😊
Brilliant work mate
Thanks mate
What a job! You boyz have some skills.
Cheers Max, appreciate it! New video out later on today 😊
Id be fuming changing all them windows 😂
Joke ain't it 😂
@@IzzytheBricky not half mate, i hate doing something twice me its a pet hate but changing them that many times would of blew my head off haha, fair play to you for the patience pal
I don’t work on sites anymore, but I work in the industry and on my LinkedIn i spotted Izzy with a tool’s supplier, glad the hard works paying off 👌🏼
Thanks very much for the support buddy 😊 hope your well! Got a new video out today 😊
After a busy week the editing can be tough, well done, appreciate the videos 👍👍😎🇬🇷
Thanks Skiathos! The editing is probably the hardest part... making it all flow and work well for you guys 😂 have a brilliant week brother! Just finished up editing my new video, should be ready for you in an hour to watch 😊
Easy joint for the paving mate peace off piss to do and class work on the alterations couple months time never know it was changed looking forward to seeing drews wall keep up the good work mate 👍🧱
Thanks very much Aaron! Appreciate the support, and you'll see how drew got on building his wall in about an hour . Just uploading the new video 😅
All the best mate😊
probably still on changing their minds!!!!!!
You put a lot of trust into them gloves 😂😂
I can honestly say, those gloves are MINT💪💪
Just wish more people had your work ethic
Think I asked this before: why are the walls not tied together with metal ties? Aha, now I can see the steel lintel used in the door! Here it would be reinforced concrete beam. Interesting water drainage device, haven't seen that before.
Thanks so much mate I appreciate it, New video out later on tomorrow! Hope your well
All those alterations are a pain but if the clients paying they get what they want, plus it better doing it now than later down the build!
That's it mate😂 easily another few weeks work here for us now 😂
Love watching your videos...great work 👍☘☘
Cheers John appreciate it!
I hate them jobs but if you are getting paid for it fair enough, but it does mess you up if you are booked up for time. Just stand a piece of 4x2 up the reveal as a profile and lay to that, doing it freehand it will just sink. Sand and Cement for that paving dont use Resin its rubbish, you could use GFTK or Flowpoint which is far superior but they might not like the cost.
Thanks very much Andy, appreciate it and will use the profile method next time! Hope you enjoyed your long weekend 🍻🍻
Mad the time, spent on editing, appreciate the content, Keep up the hard work. 🖖
Thanks so much Joe! Really great to hear your enjoying the videos and appreciate the work going into them 😊
New video out later on today 😊
Thank you for all the insights on the details of bricklaying! Keep up the good work with your videos you are doing great.
Here in the Netherlands we always have a 20 to 40 mil gap of air between the outer brickwork and the isolation to provent water go to the isolation/inner wall. In most of your videos i see the isolation placed in between the inner and outer wall. What specific reason is there for not using a air gap? Im curious mate! 👌
Massage respect Izzy for putting up with all that hassle and just getting on with it . I was depressed for you mate . 😩.
Lovely job on the brick alterations 👌🏼🧱👍🏽.
Believe it or not mate I’ve had 3 people complaining that we have a sponsor . One guy said it’s sad and unsubscribed . Another says we’ve sold out . As you day mate these videos don’t just appear they involve a lot of time and effort .
🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽
Was a bit sad..bit actually quite enjoyed smashing it up😂 these bricks are so rubbish, shattered with a few taps 😂
Mate, 1/1000 people that watch our videos understand the 100s of hours that go into them. If people don't like the ads or sponsors...we don't need them 😂 without the ads and sponsors these videos would be put together in 5 mins like some other people on here 😂
Class work kid I love problems on a job and walk away with none
Thanks so much mate I appreciate it, New video out later on tomorrow! Hope your well
Client a right messer 😂
Love watching your videos as a fellow bricklayer you are very good at your job
Tha ms very much Mark! Where abouts are you working and what type of work do you do? Site/domestic?😊 Have a great week
I'm in Manchester. Do site work mostly houses. But working on lancaster University at moment doing engineering building. I always telling lads I work with how knowledgeable and good you are we all bin doing bricklaying over 40yrs
Great vid as usual. Resin every time 25 mm deep.
Cheers buddy, appreciate it😊
I feel your pain. Had one job where the project manager told me we need you to change this because the client wants 'to see what it would look like'. Have to wonder what it is like having money to burn...
Thanks Sandy! Oh wow sounds like a bloody joke mate 😂 some people are on a different level😂
Go on izzy son brilliant editing mate
Thanks so much Tommy! Glad your enjoying the videos 😊
@@IzzytheBricky I really am id love to come do a day with you one day, only from Barnsley.
Great tip about the slate … just as long as you did ok on the alterations … 😊
Cheers brother! Glad you found it helpful 😊 just getting DW again mate 😊 hope your well, new video out today 😊
Great job guys
Thanks matw😊
Oh my, that's a lot of changes. didn't the client and architect communicate before the build started? BTW, I'm curious as to what Compo mix you are using? I'm actually a joiner, stumbled upon your channel - am thoroughly enjoying it and learning a lot!
Resin for me. Costs a lot more but there's less chance of mess and it resists weeds etc better in the future as it's flexible.
Cheers mate! Appreciate that
Great work as always fair play
Thanks Paul 😊
Ive put my own soundtrack to your video this week ...David Bowie.....Changes !!
😂😂😂 cracked me up Phil 😂 hope your well mate! Got a new video out later on today for you 😊
When you point in them slabs use Sharpe sand and cement 3-1 or 4-1
Thanks so much mate I appreciate it, New video out later on tomorrow! Hope your well
Always have time to watch an episode of Izzy 👌🏻
Thanks so much Robin, appreciate it as always! Hope your well and enjoyed your weekend! New video out today 😊
@@IzzytheBricky looking forward to it mate 👍🏻
Did the client have any idea of how he wanted the openings or floor plan at beginning??
Hiya mate! Yes, we went though everything months ago 😂
How many times did the bloke you did your time with say ' inconsistency is consistency'? Looks drilled in 🤣🤣
Were on job at minute building footings for 8 mansions and one of the plots footing was built and drainage all done etc and coz the guy wants to change lay-out a little bit its all getting knocked down and starting again
Crazy how people don't mind burning though money 😂
Can you advise how you colour match new mortar to old weathered mortar. I have an external doorway to brick up. No one seems able to answer the question. Cheers.
Hi mate, just make a few batches of muck. Different sands, different ratios and compare them to the old 😊
See you got that small trowell going. No going back now😅
this seems like one of those jobs that will never get done with all the alterations
Well done Izzy and drew
Cheers Logan!😊
alright there mate when your pricing a job up do price for everything or labour or does it depend on the size of the job
Just labour most of the time mate ☺️
It's all easy ? Dry sand and cement in the perforations instead of slate , but you have to compact it .
Thanks Eddie, appreciate it buddy! Hope your well! New video out later on today nate😊
Sand and cement for pointing
Cheers Craig mate 😊
Frustrating but like a draughtsman friend of mine says “I get paid the same for rubbing out as drawing” 😂😂
Always is when there's alternations to be made...but you couldn't be more right mate 😂😂 new video out today! Hope you and the family are well😊
Exactly! It doesn't bother me whether I lift one load 100 times, or 100 loads once: "You're the boss!"
Sand and cement always gives the best finish and durability but does take longer than that joint it stuff
Cheers brother appreciate it! Hope your well and enjoyed your weekend! New video out later on today 😊
client should of looked at the plans before the job was finished and spent more time looking at the lay out of the windows and walls is the color off the bricks ok for them 🤣 fab work lads and videos keep it coming cheers
Thanks very much mate, and it's crazy ain't, so many changes constantly happening...like 5 things will change within a day😂😂
You said they "designed the house" 🤔 are you sure with all those alterations.
How's all that going to go down with the original planning application wonder 😂
How do all those alterations fit in with planners surely all those alterations cant be done on ammendments
They all work, as most things are getting made smaller 😊
People with a lot of money constantly change their minds on a brink trust me
awesome work
Thanks Scott
Izzy is a good guy
Cheers Jarrod mate! Appreciate it 😊
Some clients have more money than sense. Did a job years ago when the client wanted 10s of thousands of pounds worth of changes and he didn’t blink.
Madness ain't it. But if it's going to make them happier in the long run!
There’s absolutely not a chance in hell I’d be doing all those alterations 😂
😂😂 your the lucky one 😂 hope Ur good Dylan! New video out today at some point 😂
@@IzzytheBricky I’d rather sit at home than do it 😂
You get paid the same as building the first iteration, it's a job like any other, no different from the first one. If you can ignore how silly it seems for people to change their minds constantly like that. But that should be their problem, not yours, unless they do it mid work.
Uses pepper pot where the brick sinks. twonk
Dont no about a payrise drew needs a new hat! Go hole in the bottom and top! 😂😂😂❤
😂😂😂 it's summer again, he'll be running about half naked again 😂
Indain stone really needs to be jet washed and resin for definite. Looks miles better then sand and cement with indain stone in my opinion
Thanks very much Tommy, appreciate it😊
Fantastic craftsmanship, well done keep it up. Really hope your charging your clients for all these add one / extras, can't be expected to do it for free.
Keep up the good work wish you all the best 👍👍
Izzy,any vidz on stepped trays above an intergal garage??
Erm, check my Garage conversion videos. Older videos on ym channel
@@IzzytheBricky seen em,... respect 👍
@IzzytheBricky hi m8 quick question again lol
Had concrete put in Friday to fill footings in. Had a bit of rain over the night. Saturday morning bricky started. But pump broke to pump water out. Little concerned that Bricky started and layed 7N blocks in 4,5cm of water would this be ok? Or a no no. Thank you m8
Again, totally fine. Motor drying is a chemical process nothing to do with how much water Is on it. Do worry, trust your builder 💪
@IzzytheBricky cheers m8. I'm having a nightmare lol doesn't help that I got OCD.
To be fair to builder he pumped what he could out. And he's also just reassured me everything ok. He's making good progress.
Thanks for prompt reply. I appreciate it m8. Kind regards R
I would use easy joint compound cost more but looks good 😎
Cheers Neil! I'll have a look into it😊
jesus christ, its the Gordon Ramsay of bricklayers haha
😂😂 cheers mate
Is it normal for someone to make that many changes feel like you have changed loads on that job 😂😂
It's definitely not normal 😂 but we could b on this job for another 2 months because of it😂
As long as u got paid give em whatever they want mate
That's it mate! Could easily be here for 2 months now 😂
