Thanks bud you made it easy to follow..

You made that cement mixing look easy! Good work- we need to do this in our basement!

1:08 Hi Stu, I have some newbie questions, so pardon me. What is the gadget you are using here and what is the thing that you put into the wall to attach the wall tie? A screw?

[zedman]

Good honest work there mate, hand mixing is no easy job. I got a 4'x4' piece of hardboard which I use to make things cleaning up easier. It's cheap enough and easy to transport in the van.

Great instruction. Im blocking two doorways so very helpful 👍

[BreakBeatStu]

Hey Stu, any ideas how much a typical job like this would cost?

[gregvisioninfosoft]

Any 'tricks' for filling the top-most 'gap' that will be between the 'top course' and the existing framing?
In other words- how best to squeeze that grout to the center line of the brick?
I have always wondered how that problem is best solved... Thanks.

what are those things you screwed into the sides for? I'm guessing to increase structural integrity? How many feet before you have to install another set?

[obodude]

is there a reason you didnt use brick on the outside to blend the wall? just curious!

Stu I need to block off a small bathroom window which is on the first floor :( - Does the brickwork have to be "toothed" - This will be bricks and not blocks. Cheers mate

[dominicryan]

impressive stuff mate i love your videos. you should consider coming to australia plenty of brickie jobs about!

[danwalker]

Hi mate, is there a reason for no installation, doing mine in a few weeks and was gonna put some in, but won't if you don't recommend it? Thanks

Hi Stu great work there did you put any insulation in the cavity as I'm going to have a Go at same kind of job I would like to know what to use in the cavity thanks for your time

im Looking to close a window myself, what other materials beside the blocks and cement do i need to close it?

[boneyblade]

Nice video. I am building a W24'xD12'xH8' breeze block shed (6") and I am not a builder, Just doing it myself. I am putting in about 5 hrs everyday and I can't get faster then 12 blocks a day (no help but my work is top quality because I am perfectionist which is not letting me go fast). Any advice on how I can get going fast and I am using 4:1 for mortar, is that ok or should I go to 3:1? Thanks in advance.

I know it's random, I'm looking at having a window taken out the same size and blocked up with bricks I already have, what's the rough price for this work.

[martincraggs]

Is there no need for insulation when There is no cavity on existing?? Always told cold spots would be a problem

[sophielegeay]

[SCRAPWOODTOCRAFTWOOD]
