Back on my OWN & making squint bricks | IzzyTheBricky Weekly episode 16

Unfortunately Drew is off for the next few weeks due to an injury. So I had to pull up my sleeves and work double time and hard to keep this extension on track.

Just found the discount code for the Evolution saw I've been using for the last year, it's IZZY10 💪🤜🤛 Also..for the best PPE gloves on the market, and the ones I personally use, check out Ansell gloves 💪 Ansell Gloves - www.amazon.co.uk/stores/page/18A9BD7E-D75F-40BD-98B1-637DA62A789D?channel=IzzyBricky-IG Hope y'all had a brilliant weekend! Definitely a hard one this week without everyone's favourite lad (Drew) but, made progress regardless! Might be a delay on the new episode. Drew is still off this week, and I'm going away for a while for a much needed holiday, so there will be no filming. I'll see what I can do though! Have a great week, enjoy the sun

[@kenelliott3022]

Why did u need to get a 2nd saw?

[@robinhadley]

Well deserved holiday bud. Enjoy your time off 👌🏻

[@johnreynolds2055]

Izzzy mate you’re a legend, they don’t make em like you anymore. Last of a dying breed. If this country was filled with blokes like you England could conquer the world again. Keep up the hard work bro!!

[@IzzytheBricky]

Haha Cheers John appreciate your comment mate! Don't like to shy away from hard work 💪 hope your well, just put a new video up for you bud

[@pauldixon3677]

Well done mate for all that hard graft. Its not until you lift, shift, mix, lay, point, wash and all the other things yourself then realise how helpful those labourers are! Its bloody hard graft and I see your'e not afraid of it . Some going on your own for one day with the rain imminent!

[@IzzytheBricky]

Thanks very much Paul! They are handy 😂 but it's all in a day's work! Never shy away from hard work me💪 just put out a new video for you mate 😊

[@kcnmsepognln]

Could you pass this on to Drew please, along with my best wishes.

Jim, I just dropped him that over 💙 your too kind ☺️ sure he really appreciates it! Hopefully he'll heal up soon and get back to work ☺️

Top thumbs up !...great camera work....take it easy stay safe .

[@IzzytheBricky]

Thanks very much mate! Lots of work goes into the videos, so nice that you enjoy them! All the best mate! I've just put out a new video for you mate😊

[@peterp7063]

I've just come across this video. If we had builders' and tradesmen's licensing in the UK combined with statutory standards of professional training and apprenticeship, we'd have a lot more Izzys around and no more wretched cowboys. Currently only gas engineers and electricians in the UK building industry have to be properly trained and then licensed. The same is needed of building designers who also do not have to have any qualifications or training in the UK - and it shows in the many badly designed domestic extensions and the like. It's time the whole of the construction industry in the UK was professionalised to raise standards. Indeed it is long overdue. Australia and New Zealand has had it for decades and I'm sure most other Europeans countries will have too. I'm a retired architect.

[@IzzytheBricky]

Thanks so much for the comment mate, greatly appreciate it! You are quite right mate! The latest job I took over was a right mess and cost the client a small fortune! All the best, hope your well

[@simplysimon9868]

Sending healing vibes to Drew, Izzy 🙏🙏🙏 The bay looks a bark to do with squints but sure you'll smash it mate. Mixing and laying is a workout. Go easy 😎👍

I don’t miss having boots packed in mud and crap. I quit site work as a chippy 10 years ago, it’s a young man’s sport and after 30 years of smashing myself to bits I chose a different career. I do miss being onsite with the lads though, cracking memories.

Ur doing great mate! CT1 oak is the same colour as your reds!! Feel for Drew...he's young and will heal fast!!

What with bluebricks, blocking, pointing, ballast, templates, the gym, on your own, no wonder you're knackered! But looks great mate, so far. You'll be missing Drew. Torn ligaments ain't no joke!

Hi mate, respect to your work standards. I am in the process of building an extension at my house. I have installed the SHS posts( 90x90x10mm) for 3 sets of patio doors the same as posts in your vid. The brickie has said the brickwork should have a 10mm expansion foam between the brickwork and the steel posts to allow for movement. Also wall starters should be fixed to the posts to tie in the brickwork. Is this correct? As i did not notice either on the steels in your vid. Can you kindly advise please. Drawings don't show any detail.

[@IzzytheBricky]

Hi mate, I couldn't advise on the foam on the steels, but yes to the screw ties on the steels. You basically need L brackets with some self tapping screws

[@Pj-yy2my]

any great video love the clean blues ,can you tell me how far apart air bricks are on new builds block beam floors

[@IzzytheBricky]

Cheers mate, you can have them every 1500mm brother

[@stephan6372]

Sad to hear about Drew however I always believe that everyone working on building sites should have a level of responsibility, at the job as well as at the home. Imagine being a surgeon and going on a bender the night before a major surgery? You best look for another labourer and teach them your working method.

[@IzzytheBricky]

So many people have said that mate! I stopped skateboarding when I started, as I knew a injury would stop my work

how do the red bricks below ground level not 'rot' and degrade as the water travels in and up them?

[@scizibear]

They’re Engineering bricks, they resist moisture and damp course will prevent moisture rising above it and into the building.

They are very hard bricks, moisture does not cause issues with them
