A good idea is to wear latex gloves while cleaning your brushes!

Many bricks are made with hollow internal areas.

Really clear and easy to follow. Great video

bricks are 70% hollow how to check exact position on the brick

Where have been for the last 20 years?

Mortar.

Hi @building Sherrif, can you please show how to drill on metals and tips to avoid it from sliding? Thanks

Great informative video, well explained ✊

WELL DONE! LIKE A PRO! LIKE A MAN!

ive cut glass and mirrors with these, very handy.

Good explanation, though, for me, it depends on how much I value the brick over how important it is for whatever I am fixing to be solid, and how long I expect to need to use that fixing. If the fixing is needed for less than 20 years then drilling external bricks feels like vandalism, especially on an historic or an attractive wall. Internally, on a plastered wall, I would always go for the brick. Of course, if you want it really solid, then raking out the masonry joint and plugging the wall with a tapered piece of wood still takes some beating. That's the third option that hasn't been mentioned here. Done in the old days before powered drills, but still handy when the bricks are soft.

check code make sure you don't hit a gas line 🔥❤‍🔥👩‍🚒

It's easy to replace mortar, no so much for a brick.

Thank you!

That is properly bodged. If you are using plastic stick to plastic pipe. The copper pipe expands and can’t flex, the plastic elbows and T’s if you flex them to far will leak. Been called out to many times to counts to fix stuff like this.

2:30 Make sure to stick your face close to the drill so you can feel how much material you're removing with your unguarded eyeballs. Holy f*&* man....

Could you have used the hammer function on that second yellow drill to drill the first hole?

Probably good to explain that masonry bits are different to the metal/wood drilling bits in small diy cases.

How do you know your drill bit won't hit a PVC pipe ?

Can I drill into my foundation wall in my basement to hang a tv?

drill settings, the duct tape tip, and some good advice. great video - thanks alot!

And if I have a copper pipe on one side and a plastic pipe on the other, can I use this connector?

can you please come and help me with my DIY projects? I don't have a dad either. Or a husband that's handy.

I like the DIY plaster on your finger 👈

Depends what the hole is going to be used for. If hanging something heavy drill the brick if driĺling a hole to install a cable or a light fitting drill the mortar.

Excellent! 👍

Very Nice information. Thank you sir.

You are a very thorough instructor. Ty.

Man a professional doing the best DIY video. Learned a lot in a few minutes. Great video.

Makes sense 👍

Can I glue a stew thread elbow to a straight cut pipe?????

The _only_ time I ever drill through the mortar, is if I'm running a wire/cable (typically ethernet for POE usually for a doorbell camera). This helps reduce snags, and I backfill the hole with silicone anyway, mostly to keep bugs from getting behind the brick.

Short sweet and to the point ...BZ to you

So this video is excellent but.....he said he was left-handed and today, a bunch of us "right-handed" people were hitting them into the ground and I turned the stake in the direction stated in this video and it moved the OTHER way...because....we right-handed people were hitting it exactly as he shows in the video. Maybe we're not properly using the sledge hammer but to all of us it felt normal hitting them "left-handed"; it felt very awkward if we switched hands. I was not building a fence; just 10ft 4x4 posts to hang things from so I wasn't totally di*k'd but it would have been nice if they were lined up a little better but not a huge deal. So just beware of that rotation AND what hands you are using to drive them in. This time around I used a massive iron wedge/pipe/post/???? to tap into the ground 3 ft to make sure there no big rocks. That massive iron post easily comes out of the ground and that was extremely helpful that we "tested" the desired locations first. I think a piece of rebar would work well too. You just make a little circle with the iron bar and it pops right out.

To be fair the easiest way to clean oil based paint out your brushes is simply don’t use it! 😂 Even stain block you can get in water based nowadays. As a professional I refuse to use oil based paint at all nowadays and I simply just throw the roller sleeves out once I’ve finished on the job. Brushes get bagged up and washed out every other day or every day if it’s summer, but it’s a quick 10 minute clean up because I’m only using water based and I’m not knocking myself out on fumes! 😂

That dog was white before this bloke starting cleaning his brushes and splashing the brush around!

Wonderful tips

thanks this was very helpful!

I want to install a pant hanger. Do I need a hammer drill? I don't want to rent one. I have a regular drill (I think with hammer function) and an impact drill.

"most of us have these things" me just here for the vibes 👁👄👁

missing bit is to find out where to drill in the brick as bricks are hollow is a pain

Thank You Sooo Much....66 yrs old...didn't know that.....esp the tap w/ hammer...very nice

You don't have any safety gear on

What would the advice be for doing this on bricks that have holes in, so they are hollow inside.

After pounding it down i got the 4x4 stuck in the spike and cant pull it out to put my actual stud in. Dont know what to do now

Drilled into the wall for the first time today. The first drill attempt wasn't the straightest, but the second went it like a glove. Well chuffed. This video is spot on sir.

If only the century old Victorian clay bricks of my house drilled as easy as those..modern bricks are piss poor compared to the bricks of yesteryear

Funny, the drainpipe bracket behind you is drilled into the mortar...

I love the conversation here. My job is small so I'm going for the mortar.

Thank you my good man answered all of my concerns.
