Bricklaying - Building over Lintels - DPC & Weep Vents  

I think it’s cool that you have people who put your scaffolding up for you when we go up a level. We stop and put them up ourselves 👍😎🧱🧱

Great job. Fascinating to watch. 🍺

love your passion for the job Izzy

Top tips on the lintels mate your work is very neat and looks spot on .You be passing me with the subs soon 🤣🤣 flying you are mate well deserved cracking videos 👍💯💯🧱🧱

Nice one mate keep up The good work smashing it on your own

Can’t beat the old trestles get whacked up and get it built. 💪🏿😎

Flashing should extend slightly past lintel. Even 2 mm to make a drip. Sealant on lintel edge seal flashing to lint so no water gets in between flashing and flashing material. When it rusts you can never get back in to fix it without removing units.

Weep holes do more than let water out. They let air in to the cavity. If you have a 30 mph wind up against a wall you'll have 30 psi of air pushing on the surface. You have no wind on the inside of the cavity. That makes the air pressure less on the inside surface. The pressure differential leads to the masonry units not just absorbing water but actually sucking water in like a vacuum. Some walls used to have brick vents to equalize the pressure.

Great work 👌

Nice Izzy . By yourself too💪🏽

Great content 👌

Just come across this channel, love seeing a younger guy flying on his own! I was a hoddy for 7/8 years paid for my own nvq course but it's been a joke trying to find a start

Photographing all the details would be good... Greetings to you from Iraq

Quality work mate

Nice one Izzy looking good mate

Brilliant work buddy! Sorry I'm late by the way, Just been studying for my first main City and Guilds exam. Keep up the great work as always mate, looking forward to the next one! 👌😁👍👷‍♂️🧱🍻🍻

Excelente trabajo 👌👌 saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱👌💯🧱

Thanks for sharing this. I hate doing things on my own sometimes, but videos like yours Izzy really motivate. You make it look easy. It's easy to pay for this kind of work, but so much more rewarding when you can do it yourself. You are clearly good at what you do man. The only down side is, if you teach everyone these skills, won't it mean you get less contracts? For the record, i'd employ you or your company, if you have one, without hesitation. Thanks again mate. I need to subscribe to you now. RB

You look skinnier in this video than your recently video

the amount of times iv worked for builders who say scaffold going up then dump a few band stands on the job along with an excuse ! only tip iv got , fix a scaff board either end and wedge it some how this takes some of the sway out of it

Enjoy watching other brickys seeing now they do, been meaning to get my own videos made but never get round to recording. What app do you use Izzy to edit your recordings? The flutter tune gets me every time what a track to a video so catchy!!

Guessing you don’t wanna put the shorts away yet lol great work mate

Here we are again hard workin lad u man

I’ve seen weep holes work when u have just built a nice bit of brickwork and it pisses down ! 😂

Another canny video izzy. I'm yet to see a bloody weep vent work aswell! Soon be Xmas mate.hope ya takin afew weeks off? 🍻 cheers

That's wasn't the "scaffold" I was expecting 😂

You do good work bud do you only do extension's

Where you from mate? Did I hear you say an extension in Leicester?

What’s with the shorts and trousers together

Are cavity trays essential?

👏👏👏👏👏👍🏠👍🍺🏃😂😂

Feck that Lol, I wouldn't have even got out of the Van if I had seen them trestles,how are they they going to do the roof and Gables of them? Seems to be a bit of penny pinching going on at your expense. Believe it or not weep holes are not deemed necessary anymore in rendered work not that I've ever seen one work lol, wouldn't be allowed the brick bearing for the lintol by my local BC , classed as a cold spot but allowed under a steel as a compromise??? 👍

Hey mate you did a video recently of you taking over another brickies job he had laid his bricks frog down instead of frog up you said you had to continue laying frog down why was that instead of continuing the wall frog up ?

Nice solid job mate ! Bit shit working on your own with no proper scaff on THAT ground 😬. I notice you were using Keystone lintels with the thermal bridge plate 😏. Watch this space 😉

Butter your block better to avoid filling joints later it's just concentration.

Do you normally work on your m8

What bird like pal

Ever had a lad and taught him Your often on your own.do you prefer it.

Who else reads the title in the accent 😃 lintels on , sarnnnd

Ruff

Alot of your frustrations would be solved by having a labourer, I avoid working solo like the plague these days

On site or private your work and technics should be the same.

why the course of bricks ? why not m ake it up on the footings ?

Bricks on the inside.???
