- Hey Everyone,
Few people confused in the comments. I DID NOT FORGET THE WALL TIES, IT WAS ANOTHER GANG.
Welcome back. So my gang took over this plot form a gang that had already left the site. We had a few things to sort out, damp trays missing, weep vents, wall ties… and blimey it had made me realise how hard it is getting these things in afterwards. Something that takes seconds to put in correctly can take hours to rectify if done wrong. Actually been a learning curve for me to make sure I always put things in the right place and don’t forget anything…I always do anyway ofcorse, but its always good to double check.
So yeah this wasn’t our mistake but its gotta be fixed.
Line blocks can be found here - ...
We all know what really happens when we miss a tie out 🤣
😅
When I was in high school, I used to help my mom and her colleagues in brieklaying and stuff used to enjoy it. I'm inspired
To get reasonably good adhesion when laying mortar the surface has to be free of any loose bits and also free of dust. This means you should always clean the holes with a brush then clean them with water. The water will also prevent the new mortar from drying too quickly which reduces the risk of shrinkage and increases long term strength. This is similar advise to installing Helifix bars btw...🙂
Could of saved yourself some time. And used Helical Remedial Wall Ties. Just as efficient in these situations
Wouldn’t epoxy resin be better for the internal end of the ties as muck pushed in the hole probably not very strong .?
It's held in with mortar normally what's the difference?
@@eddjordan2399 because normally the tie would be put in with the bed of muck (mortar) which has the strength of the whole course of blocks. Not just a little hole drilled in and plugged with muck there’s no strength to it , just pop out like a cork in a bottle .
Probably better off using a screw in tie with heavy duty wall plugs.
@@redleather100 in realistic terms those 10 wall ties in that whole side ele are doing fuck all anway. The walls wont fail just because those few ties are missing. But I get that they need to be in to pass inspection.
@@man1cs171 🤣 was it you that forgot to put them in .
If they did fuck all why use ties at all .
@@redleather100 do you understand what I'm saying? Those few ties in the WHOLE of the elevation. If you take 10 bricks out of a wall does it all fall down?
Resin would have been better, dosent shrink like mortar 😊
Or a stronger mortar with SBR in the mix.
Are those wall ties stainless? They look shiny. Thanks!
To answer your question, yes you can have too many wall ties. A party wall (robust detail) will stipulate the amount to prevent sound travel
What a capable women.
The wall ties you use are not allowed in North America because to thin and won't hold up either wall if something happens. We use a corrugated galvanized brick tie which is 1 inch wide by 7 inches long. You can in your application tapcon to block if missed. Very nice workmanship by you.
Apparently stainless is stronger and being a wire it allows for movement
@@flumoxeduk2379 Stainless does not rust. Wall ties are not supposed to move.
Bricks weigh between 20-25 lbs per sf installed.
Ok ed I'm not a brickie. A small garden wall I have is peeling away from the other. Hard to describe but that's my dilemma. So looking on the encyclopedia that is TH-cam lol. I found a remedial brick tie company video etc, saying about stainless ties and about how they allow for movement etc. As I say I'm pretty handy with tools, I use to be an engineer and now do ceilings, partitions and sfs, anyway thanks for taking the time
@@flumoxeduk2379 Gotcha! I understand now!
Good video once again
Look at your audience, not the lil square of yourself.
Own it!
All you needed to do is stich drill around every 6th brick along the wall , fix 1 tie , put the brick back , that way your removing around 15 bricks instead of around 100 bricks
I don’t think think that’s a good idea as it’s similar to toothing. Shite basically.
@@sarahwood1693 it's actually nothing like toothing, your trying to teach a guy who has been bricklaying for 38 years how to suck eggs now 🤣
A good price worker would never ever in a million years take 100 bricks down just to put a few ties in , but also , I should tell you that a building inspector will tear that to bits , you CAN NOT simply drill a hole and push a tie in , the cement around the tie is NOT gripping onto the tie and will move , the ONLY AND CORRECT way is to either drill and plug the holes with wall plugs and screw the tie ties into the plugs OR drill a hole , use a air blower to remove all dust , insert a tie and fill solid with 2 part Anchor resin
@@mrdogger2010 I’m not trying to teach you anything, i agree it’s shite . Screw in ties or helifix ties should be used. It is the same to toothing as in the mortar on top of the brick isn’t load bearing. It’s not compressed by the weight above. It’s exactly the same outcome. In your first reply you said to remove every sixth brick, then in your second reply you’ve addressed the fact that holding the ties in the block with mortar isn’t correct and then mentioned resin. Resin would work but pointless if ties aren’t attached to the blocks correctly. A good price bricklayer doesn’t forget multiple ties. Also ties do NOT go every 6th brick horizontally and a building inspector wouldn’t know it had been done. Never in a million years. You should know this with 38 years experience. I’ve got 35😃🤔
Still awaiting your reply! Or have you retired?
Good video and top work 🧱 👌
A well done Job. 😳
👍Why is it scaffolders don't leave a space at the wall, now you have to de-snot the splashing.😤
Does string work ?
Nice one gal
No insulation as well
They've started to pump it in again retrospectively.
vert good
Rightly or wrongly, the reality is, those few missing ties wouldn't make a bit of difference to the structural integrity of that wall.
how could that other gang forget the wall ties when they had the rest of them in what a tadoo
Whose the bloke watching. Time n motion man 😊
😂been laying for 30 + years your not the first , good life lesson ,good luck 👍
It wasn’t me who forgot, it was another gang x
dont worry how you look as to us you know your job thats what matters rattle
Day rate wow
All that for a course of wall ties
Remedial ties would be sufficient
Where's the insulation
Probably pumped in after 😁
Can I have some wall ties please!!!
Just cut the loop off the tie and push it to the block work.When you have built up a few course it looks like they have always been there .Cowboy tips
I didnt see you wearing safety goggles and hard hat on when breaking out those old course of bricks. I also think that you should have explained the consequences of not having ties in your wall maybe a photo of a failed gable end.
Those wallties are doing absolutely nothing at all, you wasted your time putting them in really.
Surely you would of noticed when you built the outside skin🤣
We didn’t build it, as per the description and the voice over commentary, we took over this plot from another gang
How can you forget tie wires ..... Call herself a bricklayer ? 😂🤣
Did you listen?she took job over from another gang......🙃
I didn’t forget the wall ties… Funnily enough a MAN did!
What's tie wires?? Thats what a steelfixer uses for tiyng rebar.
