I love this channel, Roger you have a great way of conveying not only how but why ( much like one of my other favourite channels ) I’m a handy man ( the trade you professionals hate 🤣😂 ) and I’m always striving to do the best jobs I can. Good bricklayers impress me no end, I could probably lay about 3 bricks an hour ☹️ Your channel is priceless to me, cheers guys 👍👍

• Bricklaying 3 golden rules :
1 - Line up the perps
2 - Look at the line
3 - Look at the face
• Measure off DPC every so often to bring the brickwork back into line, to avoid pulling or pushing too much
• When placing a brick, don’t push your bed down until you have everything else lined up, because tapping/pushing down the brick sucks the life out of the mortar
• Never tap the face of a brick
• Use muck from the inside of the core holes for pointing
• When you spread the bedding, angle the trowel 45 ° while pushing down, so it pushes the much to the front of the brick

Honestly, I picked up more from this video than all the other videos I have watched!!! Thank you!!!

[nigel]

Brilliant video about two of the best brickies up North. Nice casual build with Steve sharing his tips. Thanks for featuring them 🧱🧱🧱

[Binzdogger]

It's a quality situation really, I personally always cut the cavity through and bridge the insulation to the existing and if on the corner, tooth out if brick sizes match (metric Vs old imperial etc) realistically only takes an hour or so all in and the finish just looks much better.

[eddjordan]
