I've seen 3 X 2 used to catch the snots. But drilled holes with rope sash cord and knotted underneath through it so it rests on the ties and you build up then pull the timber up as you go. Quick scrape down next set of ties and a course then timber goes on those.. Rinse and repeat. It's probably easier to pull your U channel up as you go.. Worth a thought though
You could also use Mortar net so it traps the mortar above the weep holes and letting it breathe, if you want to make it overkill you put some each 2 sets of anchors in the middle of the wall
Keep pushing nice work . We leave coring hole out on the cavity tray height and clean every evening which I guess u might of tried before, if not check one of our shorts with an example
love watching you at work, is that a bump cap you're wearing or a new kinda hard hat? Cavity cleaning, been there mate trying to invent stuff so well done, guy tried selling me those at super trowel.
Thanks so much mate, glad you enjoyed the video. I'll be at super Trowel next year, would love to meet you mate! New video for you tomorrow buddy! And the cap, it's a hard hat..but no clue what it's actually called
Love your short and sweet videos Izzy and also the way you explain what you’re doing keep the videos going if you can mate . What do you think of supposedly the fastest breaking in the country Jack collision don’t rate him myself think he is a gob shite worked with faster brickes in the north east of England I worked on the hod for a lot of years before they introduced small and larger fork lifts on some sites just wondered what you thought of is graft any how love the videos keep them coming Bud watch how you go👍🏼
Thanks so much mate for the support, glad you like the videos! He's a quick bricklayer, I'll give him that and when I have spoken to him, he's been quite pleasant😊 but I don't watch or follow his stuff anymore, due to no time 😂
Keep the focus on quality, don't let quantity get the better of you. As for your snot catchers, round the corners, and cut the end and bend the sides in slightly - That should stop the trays from snagging on and bricks. You could also tie the string such that it fixes to both sides of the try (like a Y shape) and then cut an inch or two out of the base at the end, that way when you pull on the string it will pull the sides inwards slightly (hopefully minimising it snagging)
A true professional keep it going! Amazing the amount of snots building up in the cavity …I’ve seen loads of new builds full up where they slap dash throw it in and it’s too time consuming to clear …bad!!
I would try making the front of the catch like a boat bow. If the front is square it can catch as it is pulled out. Maybe a piece of wood or steel to keep the shape and something to screw to and hook your rope onto. Good luck.
another way getting my dropping out of back of cavity - i take end brick out come along 3-4 m take another out and build and hose out later before mortar goes hard - after wall finished and inspected mortar bricks back in - easy and you can see it's clean
Yes of course a 13"trowel will be quicker but and a big but your wrists will suffer in the long run so why not return to a smaller trowel health comes first money is important but what would you rather have your choice.
I've got my old man's whs trowel from the 70s from when he was laying 1000 plus a day it's like a spoon size doesn't always matter ( wiggle little finger ) I had a 33 13 back in the 90s does f your elbows after a while got a 34 12 now and the 33 13 is now about 10"
@IzzytheBricky surely painting is worse! 🤣. I am like you, tho, in a sense, i try to find smart solutions to make my life easier. You trick about how you make your arches with the 2 timbers, 3 screws and a line blew my mind. Thanks for the content bud. 🫡
Is the compo in your catch trays still usable or does it dry out fast? I have often wondered how much waste there is in brick laying especially regarding compo, I would think on a complete house build it must be in the thousands of pounds or am I wrong mate
@@IzzytheBricky that would be interesting i am retired now and took a government training course in the seventies 6 month course and found it hard to go on site with experience brickies
Hi Izzy, I do like your content. One question regarding perps, which is it appears that builders don’t fully fill them at each lay of the brick. Can you explain what the regs are please for a novice?
I thought you were going to pull those channels you made UPWARDS ... I kept thinking all the way through the video how's he going to get it past the ties ? Back in the day, it would have been a 6ft length of 2x2 with a short length of rope (Blue Cord) on each end ... Pull it up every time you get to a new tie level ... after the next course lay the 2x2 on the ties and away you go till the next tie level You should be able to drill a hole in YOUR channels and attach some rope with a knot underneath Why only 6ft long ? ... so you can pull both ropes at the same time ... save asking for help
Love your vids mate have done for long time , but you laying that and working ya nuts off and getting 200 employed on day rate ? That is nuts , know your worth pal , got decorors on our site on 240 home for 4 lol😮
Ah mate, I've been on more, I've been on less. I'm very comfortable with the wage I'm on..also..who wants to earn over 55 and pay 40% tax😊 I don't need any increase of wage at work, I have other sources of income 😊
I think the cavity cleaner needs lifting up every time you fix a row of ties and should sit on the new ties. Years ago when cavity ties were rigid butterfly ties (before timber frame), bricklayers could only build 900 high before having to switch to the other leaf and the cavity batten was used to sit on eack row as they built to stop snots dropping down. Also, that 13" trowel doesnt help on a narrow cavity when you try and scrape the back
would it work if you lifted the tubing on rope from the top rather than sliding it out. It would clean the mortar off the bricks as its lifted. Just a thought/suggestion.

Try gluing the snot catchers, plenty of powerful glues out there now save snagging on screws.
I would try making the front of the catch like a boat bow. If the front is square it can catch as it is pulled out. Maybe a piece of wood or steel to keep the shape and something to screw to and hook your rope onto. Good luck.

Hiya mate, yes it is still usable, and 1 tub of mortar costs us 35 pounds. The wastage from each house is probably no more than 20 rounds 😊
Hi Izzy, is there no cement in your mortar.? In Denmark we mix one cement to eight mortar. I love to see your work
Hiya mate! There is cement in it. But there's also a lot of chemicals to stop the cement from setting for 3 days
Top job
Thanks Bud,New video for you tomorrow buddy!
Great job.The ready mix compo, do you add anything to it to make it go off? if not how long does it keep before it's no good.
