@Paperwing Plus, more trials and errors gives you better hand/eye coordination and you start developing a higher level of attention to detail. And then, you start realizing how bad a previous GC did work in your house a long time ago.

I know a lot, and sometimes her stuff is too basic for me, but she literally knows the basics of every field and handy tricks in them all too. I wouldn’t be surprised if she knew wayyyy more complex stuff than she shows too. It just wouldn’t match the vibe of her channel.

@jcrefasi1 2 года назад

My house is a frame structure built on concrete block piers. Is it necessary to inspect the masonry joints on them and if so how often do you suggest. We have mild winters with maybe 8 to 10 hrs per night where temps drop below 32°. Most winter months the avg low temp 40° Not sure if temp is a factor in mortar failing.

@@orion7741 what's wrong with this video?

@donb3557 2 года назад

I worked in an old fashioned tool store when I was younger and the bricklayers used to use the handles off steel buckets to finish their mortar joints. That’s why on building sites the metal buckets kept disappearing! Even when the special tools became available the brickies would always ask for a bucket handle when they came to purchase the tool! Another great video Leah I cannot understand why no television channel hasn’t snapped you up,you have a quality that gives you the perfect presentation techniques that are lacking in many television presenters. You’re always clear, concise, friendly and non patronising. You would make an excellent mentor for youngsters who may not be academically brilliant but like to work with their hands and yet have no real idea what to do career wise.Your teaching style could change young peoples lives and career prospects for the better. As we say in the UK ‘ more power to your elbow’👍 I would say it’s people like you who made America great but that would only be partly true. People like you enrich any country they inhabit not just the US of A!

@JackKirbyFan 2 года назад

So many videos have walked me through it, but NONE have explained it as rigorously as you have. Finally I understand how to do this well. Thanks!

@John01GM40 Год назад

rigorous, err, no - she failed to discuss the single most important aspect of any brick laying mortar: how wet to make it and whether (or not!) to wet the joint before filling. Bricks are sponges, they suck water out of the mortar and if that happens too quickly the mortar will be brittle and won't survive a winter - she did not discuss the depth that the old mortar should be raked out to ensure that the new mortar will be thick enough to survive. - she dragged the wood along the join guaranteeing it smeared the bricks instead of lifting it off and moving it along without touching the surface - her finish was also pretty poor. There were low spots that should have been filled. - and although she did correctly state you should wait until the mix firms up, she used a trowel to knock off the excess and did not make it clear that is a separate operation to the use of the brick jointer. Best done a bit later when the excess has had a further chance to dry, then it will fall off using a soft brush, not a trowel, without any chance of smearing.

I don't know if you read these comments, but hopefully you will get a chuckle out of this... I apparently spend too much time on youtube... so last night I had a dream that I ran into you at cardiac rehab conference (I am an exercise physiologist for my day job), anyway, in my dream you actually went by Jane. My wife was like, hey look, Jane is here (she is not interested in woodworking so in real life she definitely wouldn't recognize you, and wouldn't be at the conference with me) any way, you were so kind and told me all about how you built your channel and gave me tips for building my channel. AND you also knew all of the ins and outs of exercise physiology and cardiac rehab 🤣 clearly I need to stop watching videos before bed 😴 The human brain is so crazy!

You’re laying down all important details, you show and break it down so that your audience understand the ins and outs of what they’re doing and why, therefore help them gaining confidence.
