Love watching a proper tradesman at work being a decorator my self and also on the maintenance side of the trade you don't half see some crap. Not here though keep up the good work bud
The way he throws mortar is the modern way to insure a joints are full front to back. I am watching to improve my skills before putting up a three flue chimney from the roof to 50'. I have three to do on my 1886 Streetcar house.
Cheers for that Vlad , only been doing it 40 years not quite got the hang of it yet, I don’t know anybody who can lay straight away , cheers for watching 👍👍
Yes I used to be a Bricklayer as was my Father as was my uncle .There is a part of me that misses it... having said that I'm now living the dream in New Zealand and wouldn't lay bricks again if you paid me. Keep up the good work smudger
Nice to see a brick layer taking great care in his work,there's too many rough and ready brickies around quality not quantity. If I was buying a house I would by one that you built it will stay up.Great video keep em coming. 👍👍👍
Hi bud I'm a student brick layer. Very new to the game. I noticed the odd 1 or 2 bricks were layed with the frog down. Is there a specific reason for this?
Guys I need some serious advise looking for a bricklayer. A guy as done some work for my mum and messed the wall up big time. What do I need to be looking at to know that they are actually a skilled bricklayer? as this guy was on Checkatrade and there's no way he's a professional.
And acid burns on his skin. First thing to look for is a persons attitude to H and S . A macho cowboy who just wants to get the work done fast and takes all the short cuts ,I won't even entertain. Rather have a lad just out of training school who knows how to do the job to modern spec and carefully.
Good job bud I have to say this is a dying trade I've been doing Block & Brick for 30 years and have worked hard building my business and a good reputation as a good Mason but I am thinking about quitting because I cannot find laborers because he work is too hard nobody wants to work for a living anymore it will probably be a dead trade in the next 30 Years sorry to say
I’ve got a proper good lad at the moment he’s always first there in the morning apart from me ! works hard all day , always asking questions and taking it all in I’m going to loose him before long he will set up on his own and fair play to him!! I’m going to help him as much as I can! My retirement is fast approaching
Russell Mills you have obviously never laid a brick in your life, and the way you are talking know nothing about building, no shame in that, as you were.
