Those are the sort of days we all love....low stress, nice brick, ground level. You can happily drift away to your happy place on days like that and just take pleasure in the trade you love.
Thanks alot Rhys! Hopefully I'll be able to record something 2moz..if not Wednesday👌😊 Hope college is still going well! Do you have a job lined up after you've finished👍🤟?
@@theafter8bricky I’ve never really had a big enough setup on a plot to try it mate I’ve done a 4th lift with my labourer once it was around 1470 I’m going do a video on a Saturday soon got a big apartment block on next week 😁😁
@@kurtmalpassbrickwork6255 fukin hell that’s some going, i find the labour being the limiting factor I need a faster labour, mi old man is bollocked if we lay more than 800 bricks 😂😂 I have help to get my own gobo and top my bricks up after a while 😂😂😂
That is a nice wall . That is how u should rub up shallow. That is not how u flush joint. Rub all your work that shallow it’s the right way. To flush it up hold it like a pen and use the end. Well done
cant aford jointer iv never seen a wall contrucion like before in uk sheet metal in cavity iv seen starter bars and form bars good luck mate can see any ties sticking of block work to pick up brick work
Morning buddy, the customer didn't want it bar pointed as we were going for a rustic lookn that's why we flushed the brickwork up😊 The cavity it to be filled with concrete to make the whole wall stronger. And there are ties in the Blockwork for the brickwork buddy..probably just hard to see them on the video, but there in every 450 😊
@@IzzytheBricky Wait, so concrete is going to be poured in the cavity, so the bricks are basically your front form? I've been planning to do this exact thing on a project at home but first time I've seen someone doing it. I've been advised against it, firstly because a single pour up that many courses could blow out the bricks unless you support them (or do it in several lifts) and secondly they reckoned over time the bricks would pop off due to frost and what not? Would be interested to see what you think of that.
@@csgowoes6319 retaining walls should be built with blocks at the back I usually advise and do it with flat blocks at the back and ties into the brickwork at the front... however the way izzy done it is another way which is let the brickwork dry off for good 7 days and then pour the concrete the brickwork wont go anywhere as the concrete is steel reinforced I hope u understand that 👍 😉 sorry izzy had to jump in brother I hope u agree with me lol 😆
@@sherkhansbrickwork8501 Thanks mate, appreciate the thoughts, be good to hear Izzy's too. I wasn't planning to build with block at the back, I am planning to just form with wood. Actually, was going to just pour against the hill face I had dug out as it's very well compacted, but I'd use too much concrete that way. Honestly though, building with bricks and blocks and then pouring in between seems easier than building wooden forms. I'd still be a little concerned about blowout, but I will be mixing by hand and so the concrete will already be going off as I am mixing/pouring. I wonder why people say the bricks will pop off. I think they are concerned about not leaving a cavity like you would if it was a facade, they think water is going to get between the concrete and bricks, not sure. Surely they will completely bond... Btw, I also like the "fake" columns, might do the same, except I do actually have reinforced columns, but they stand proud of the inside face not the outside so I want to echo them on the outside.
Sorry for the late reply mate..just poured 8 cube of concrete 😂😂💪 Block flat on the back is cool or the blockwork like I've done is good. If you put wall ties out every 450mm high and 900mm apart (or closer 650mm if you want it to be extra strong) to catch your brickwork that will secure the bricks to the blocks. The cavity, like I've suggested to the customer here, is going to be done in 3 concrete hits. This wall is about 1.8m high..so I'll pour the concrete into the cavity to 600mm first, let it set for a day or two..then pour 600mm again..let it set and then finally on the last day pour another 600mm to take it to the full 1.8m I wouldn't worry about the bricks blowing out..as long as the the brickwork has set fully for a week or so before pouring the concrete😊💪
Depends on how dry the bricks are. It's recommended to only build Walla to 1.5m a day. Sometimes on winter if the bricks are wet and the mortar, your walls can start to bend or become wavey in 10/12 courses
@@johnboo6694 no I’m a bricky that knows how to point up, you will have to point up anyway why not just put a bit of much on your trowel n put in in the joint. Easy as pie
Haha most of the time..mainly when I'm laying bricks or at home😂 get arsey when I'm not laying.. doing other BS for extensions like digging..drainage and that shit😂
Hiya chap, I'm not, it's just looks like that because I use the selfie camera to film sometimes...so everything gets flipped. Good spot though and hope you had a good weekend
College mate. One day a week apprenticeship. Get a job as a labourer if.you can't do that but go college one day a week. Your education will be free mate
To be fair it's good to show willing I find..however today if I was on price I would have made 450 quid..but on other days on this job i would have only made 100 quid..so it really is swings and roundabouts. It's hard to be on price if jobs aren't set up well you see
Just am mate, when we turned up we said it would be a DW job since it was such a shithole and we couldn't get much done at all..regretting it now though 😂
I know mate! About 450 500 yesterday...however that's the first time probably this year I would have made good money..since I'm on extensions most of the time, I dont often get to blast like that you see😒😔
Ah sorry mate..I like to speed it up because otherwise the video would be a couple of hours. Think before I cut it down it was about 2 hours :30 mins I'll take your comment into consideration in my next video fella 🍻
