    I have never done any bricklaying but followed your video and was amazed how good the finish I achieved was. Didn’t have a Stihl saw but used my trusty angle grinder. Given that my house is constructed with engineering bricks, the hardest part was knocking the bricks out! Thank you so much for posting the video, I couldn’t have done the job without it!

    I'm 71 Years old and I'm going to repair a window on my building that has lost some brick and a tenant took the rest out to hid drugs in my building wall, yeah! I've laid brick with my Sweetheart husband who passed from COVID-19 in 2020 clear back in 1979, so I really appreciate your video, of course I'm having to place a frame work of wood under the brick too as that rotted out, but I'm going to do as you did...start laying from the bottom, the building was build in 1900, and the brick size is small that's to replace the others, but I'm confident after watching you do this repair, I can do mine, I'm taking picture as I go...thanks for your video!

    When I first saw the bricks you chose as replacements I thought "that's the best match!?". Shows I don't know what I'm talking about. Looks pretty good. Not perfect because it's super hard to match molded brick with extruded but it looks great. well done.

    Stu & KC are differently the best instructive brickie video's to watch on the internet. These video's should be required watching in every trade college in England & Australia. Europe can do what they want after Brexit completes. The only problem I can see for viewers, apprentices.tradies & Tech teachers alike, is that these video's can become very addictive. They are even better than many current reality shows on the TV. Stu & KC, please keep up the good work & thanks for being so natural & real all the time, it's just a joy to watch your vids.

  • @arkadybron1994
    @arkadybron1994 3 ปีที่แล้ว +29

    If you get an old car innertube, cut it near the valve, seal the ends up, then you can feed a loop of the tube into the cavity through the vent hole, inflate it and it'll trap all of your debris. Then after you've removed all the bricks that are coming out and cleaned up the joints, you can pull the innertube out and all the crap with it.

    I am repairing the back wall of my old 1920s bank building where I now live. The wall, and especially the mortar, has been degraded through water pouring down the outside of the wall for decades. Literally all the mortar washed away over the years between about 16 bricks in 5 courses! Cold air now pours in where the bricks are missing and between the masonry block behind the brick, and whole building is suffering from the prairie winds every time they blow. I just did the first two courses, having removed the worst as well as any bricks not far from falling out. This is my first time at this, but your tutorial prepared me well and, maybe, by the time I get the last course down, it won't look too bad. Thanks for the clear tutorial!

    Being a bricklayer in Australia it’s so weird for me to see how you point your brickwork. We do it just with a joiner no trowel to fill in holes, all the joints are full and u have to work the joiner in the beds and scrape all the excess mud off before bagging/brushing and a repoint. Love your videos 👊🏼
