I look at your perps and I think there tight . But I’ve been on site so long where a perfect 10mm site is very rare . Always opening and closing . Great video. Good thing your doing

Laser precision…… held on with sticky tape.. nice For all your construction needs call 1-800 bodge

It’ll be fine.

Think theres a big issue thats been made worse through cement but theres obviously damp coming in behind.

People don’t seem to be able to fathom that the old ways works better than the shitty half job new ways.

Had a few days like that 😂

Agreed, but NHL is a scam, anyone who has been using it for a while has seen it cause the same damage as cement. Also plenty of studies showing it’s incompatibility. Forget the marketing, it’s not what was used to build these walls, doesn’t not behave the same and should not be used when a suitable mix is so easily made the traditional way. We don’t need fancy new products, stick to what was used originally on these buildings and use quicklime.

Dave Palmers are the ruination of the world 🤛 thats fine work lads nice and clean 👌

Nice one 👍 tasty work ollie keep it going 👍

1,1,6 is breathable and acts the same as nhl 2 if you use a higher grade it will harden over time and produce the same result as the old 1 opc to 4 sand.

Think you will find that’s still lime in those arch bricks, most of those faces have gone due to the softness of the brick, not necessarily because of cement pointing, not all of them anyway

What's that half bat doing 😢

And raz the Bricky works in the rain.. Come on raz.. There's times where you have to just go home.. Work will look like dogshit.. Working in that shit.

Well deserved mate from a anthor bricklayer to anthor well done 👏 🧱👊👊👊👊👊👊👊

Congrats 🎉

Your a very good bricklayer not many left not that I’m on that level atall but the setting out attention to detail etc an obviously the quality of the end product is all top notch most people just blag it as they go an almost make it up en route only met a couple of people like yourself an your fellow KZbinr Rob songer check him out if you havnt already even you will b impressed with his work you 2 are the only people I’ve seen in here not just slashing it up quick as possible he’s also very good with the geometry etc if you 2 worked together u could probably build the Taj Mahal lol

I do love a bit of Flemish bond brickwork.

I noticed a lot of my brick videos based in the UK always have red brick buildings. Ive yet to see a brick building thats been white washed (with lime). Is this bad to do to bricks, or do the English just prefer au naturale?

So what I gathered from the comments, is to use hydrated lime and washed sand with 'fines' in it, as your mortar, when replacing the bricks?

"sand and fucking cement"

Can someone tell me the correct thing to use for pointing up as I have some deteriorating brickwork to mend

Can you use no nails! 😂

someone wanted a cheap job, they got it

So what's the solution? you're about to take out those bricks & replace them?

I think most of the damage was done between the 70's and 90's due to a shortage of real trained guys. I've seen so much damage done by OPC in old builds!

People do this everywhere they havent got a clue

Easy, yours has a yellow thing on top. What do I win🥸

Super, thanks for taking time to make the video 👍

Quality intro vid

You didn't tell them how to work out the spacings....the whole point of this video!!! 😂

very clean trowel ...

Al nice stuff and i kinda just know it's plumb.

I saw two pillars and an arch all done in creasings for a front door porch. It was real neat. Promised myself I'd do one in the future. Never happened.😊

Great tip thanks

Nice work 👏

Mark do you just stick to the masonry bricklaying side of things or are you a full build contractor .

Grand job . Brickys might notice it but 99.9 percent of lay people certainly won’t .

Spot on buddy 👍🔥

Nice work, not the hand of god but really nice.

Nice neat job as always mate 🧱 👌

Good brick work but I don’t like corbling

Nice to see some Flemish spec’d!

Or Jimmy Saville 😂

Brilliant talent 👏

nice no jointing just brush

Beautiful chavie

Is the tension on your line tight? Out of curiosity never used that tool to hold the line

Nice, the bricks look lovely aswel

To all young lads, watch what this guy does, still rolls his muck, focuses hard on a perfect even bed looking like 11mm. Hardest blocks to lay in the hot sun but he doesn't struggle, rubs it down to the line and moves on. No tapping, no lump hammer, just smooth block laying. Why? All in the perfect bed. Lay an 11mm consistent bed, put the block on and you can rub it down 1mm. Easy when you follow the rules.

Aye but the block work needs to sit in centre of steel ya gonna be front heavy the way you’ve got it there
