I really like the sound of that! So if my cavity is 100mm for example, just use a chog of wood cut at 100mm...that's pretty cleaver mate, have you done that before?

@@IzzytheBricky if 100 mm cavity T piece = 200 + thickness of what its made of. Mate over 30 years

Ah okay I get you now! Cheers I'll try this next week. I've got a 2 story extension starting all Blockwork so should come in! If I do try it I'll make sure to show you how it goes!

Good idea. It assumes the brickwork is plumb though. Mightn't hurt to check plumb now and again.

Thank you Michael. A dead man in bricklaying fereres to a brick or a block you anchor your line to so you can quickly set out your work without having to build two large corners. So usually when doing Blockwork..you build TWO corners then run them in. However if you do that you run the risk of having a cut in the middle of the blockwork pannel... So to avoid this I lay a"Dead man"..which is basically a block i lay on the opposite side of my corner I've built. I then run this in to see if the panel works blocks. This "Deadman" is laid roughly plum and level..as it's only job is to hold the line at the correct hight and plum so I can run out my blocks to see how i should build my corner...whether it should have 100mm piece in it..or a 330mm for example. I might have over completed that a little..but hope that helps a little

Thanks my mate!! This was almost a year ago now 😮

@@IzzytheBricky I've worked as a service hand (ships engine mechanic, aircraft technician and well service specialist) for the last 50years (and 10days), always been committed / fervent to my trade and I know when I see someone having the same positive attitude when performing their trade. Have to quote the advert here: "*Cause U're worth it" (when I complement your work)

Wow mate that's an amazing career you have mate! Sounds fascinating! Where are you based buddy? Really appreciate all of your support 💪

@@IzzytheBricky Thanks, retiring in a month, still a teen between my ears (according to The Boss (wife). Lives in Abebjerget (Monkey Mountain) as they call it in Denmark, Norway as it's called in the civilized world 😊 Keep on bricking, enjoying your videos

Hi mate it's just 100mm cavity wall insulation rockwoll

I guess every inspector has a different view on dpc details. Our bloke likes this detail that's why we always do it :)

@@IzzytheBrickynever mind inspector, in effect what you have done is bridged the cavity with the thing that is meant to protect the cavity. does that make sense?

Yea it does, cheers buddy:)

@@scottnever8732 what cavity???? its bridged from top to bottom 🤣And I did not notice any proper DPC folds on the corners of the tray of damp either , its a pain but in a real ''open cavity'' wall that let the cavity do its work through ventilation where you put in weep holes as well , I think folding the corner DPC , it may be the right way to do it , its a pity Scot because this man is not a bad bricky , He just took easy route, I think here , he's probably right though , it was more than likely done on purpose so as people will hire professionals instead of building by you tube 🤣😂

​@@davidschley8773is it really as funny as your emoji's make out?

Thanks alot buddy! I'll make sure to have 600 in the future 👌👌🍻

😂😂I know..least it's in though 😂

@@IzzytheBricky like your attitude lol

@@scottnever8732 😂😂 cheers buddy! I appreciate your feedback though and tips!👍👍😁

@@IzzytheBricky more than happy to help, nice to see people that care about the trade
