    Good job guys. It's nice to see you are not wasting motion and time beating on bricks like alot of YT videos. I was trained by an old bricklayer years ago, and he was so fast that he alone, with one guy mixing mud and carrying bricks, could brick a 1500 sq ft home in 2 1/2 days. His secret was in the mud spreading. He spread the mud the perfect amount, where all he had to do is lay the brick on the bed joint and press very little. He scraped the excess one time, and used it to butter the head joint on the brick he had just laid. The head joints of the bricks were buttered on the brick after it was laid. He taught me to have no lost motion. He trained me to do it, but I didn't make a career out of brick laying. I just didn't like all the bending over. About 20 years is all a bricklayer can do, before their back gives out.

    Don’t worry about datums, just find the highest corner with the laser put two down tight then set the laser to that corner and bump the rest of the corners . Why is the concrete not working blockwork to dpc ??

    • @ron1martens
      @ron1martens 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Good question Neil. Concreters will have laser and should keep bricklayers in mind when doing footings.
      My father built house to we set the formwork, followed by the concreting and bricklaying.
      I once had to pour a slab on a slab in a renovation. As the concreter laid the concrete one brick level too low.

    I’d have thought you’d have set profiles up on the corners once you had first course in pal. That way you could have marked the gauge on with the laser and done the same
    On the existing house.

    I definitely would have made that first course of blockwork work with the cut up the house and not at your corner , plus a 330 / 110 over the top is same as a cutting a half as no waste from one block , you would easy open up 30 mm in that length of wall . Keep it simple ..that's my two pence 🤣. Ah good job lads 👍

    I like the way you set out putting the line on the blocks. I normally put marks on the footing but everything gets in the way, will be doing it like that in future. I like to check the footing first and mark the FFL on the laser level measuring stick so I can check the footing before I start to give me the best chance of sorting out the levels. Just mark it with a pencil or tape helps as no guessing involved
