bad brickwork bricklayers

Worst brickwork the world as far as i Am aware .its not even like it was thrown up either it took them about a week just to do two panels

[@lufc4lifeful]

There must be a scaffold tube missing somewhere. They used it to joint up

[@m101ist]

I think you need one to point up the thickness of those joints. Who's in charge of quality control there ?

[@Seany-boy]

Fucking car tyre you mean lol.

[@u2kjib4cjkqn]

I am a bricklayer time served ,and this is what happens now because no one is properly trained any more ,I have took on a apprentice who had been on a twelve week course and passed a nvq and believe me I don’t know what they teach them because he didn’t have a clue how to read a tape or use a level ,they need to bring back proper apprenticeships .

[@jesusenriquesalazaranzola159]

Mark Mckale im a bricklayer studeny in Québec Canada. Its a year curse and beleve me when we are done we are ready to lay properly.

[@barnettstrongmanjnes5023]

dI was crabbing and trapping and driving workboats when I was seven.We didn't play in the Summer. We worked and kids now will lay around and do nothing and then you put them to work at 18 and I know lots of guys will do nothing until they're about 30. I know a guy who is 53 and never had a job, but he started carving decoys and he could sit in the heat and AC and he would carve decoys from 7 am to midnight. His initials a WJF When you see those decoys that just know they were carved by a lazy obese POS. He just found something he could sit on his ass. The job he did before that he would go spray weeds for the country. He would leave the house at 9 am and be back home asleep on the couch by 1 pm. He weighed 390 pounds when he was twenty. Another guy did nothing until he got married at thirty. Neither one of them have done a day's work.The one that's never had a job poured a concrete pad for a dog pen and it looked like he smoothed it out with a tree branch. The one who got a job at thirty it took me three days to get him to fix 100 pallets and he wasn't doing anything. I told them you don't really need an employer because you can pick up aluminum cans but you need gumption.

[@deeman383]

Im a bricklayer myself and i think theres a problem with the younger masons(if youd call them that) not giving a fuck. It really irks me to go on site and my foreman and peers cant read a print or dont want to do something properly because "no one will notice and it would take to long". +-3 to 5 mm, fine, but when your joints could fit ron jeremys cock in them or can barely fit a toothpick, i think its time to look for a new calling and leave it to guys who actually pride themselves in there work.

[@piccasowiththecanz1171]

[@Animuldok]

And this is what happens When you don't have someone monitoring the "tradesmen" on your construction site. I would have thrown the lot of them off after seeing the poor craftsmanship that was likely evident within the first few courses. A few hints to any homeowners... 1. Educate yourself, there are plenty of good resources (in this case) on basic bricklaying. You don't have to be a master craftsman to spot poor work. Typically, if the work or worksite is sloppy, you can expect there are also serious structural problems hiding underneath. A unskilled laborer is working for a paycheck. A skilled tradesman is working for a paycheck AND is proud of the job done. 2. Before committing to a bid, ask to see some finished work (both new and old) as well as visiting an active jobsite. 3. You often get what you pay for, both in skill and materials.

[@lisajames2170]

[@darrenkidd8575]

All the good bricklayers that are retiring are being replaced by young lads that buy a trowel and level and once they can run the line think they should be on £200 a day.It takes years for a bricklayer to achieve a high standard of work through slowly improving over time and the knowledge needed also takes time to learn through experience, I’ve seen gangs turn up on sites in the past pull up with their kit in the back of a beat up estate car all drinking red bull smoking a fag and then chucking all their rubbish out the windows and I know pretty much what the quality of their work will be like. One gang even managed to build a big four bedroom house first lift back to front with not one of them wondering why the front door was 2100mm wide and nowhere near the middle of the house. I don’t touch big site work anymore because nobody cares about doing a good job it’s all about just chucking them up as fast as possible, I’m 56 now and I build one off projects which we price up build and manage ourselves for our clients well away from all the idiots rocking up with their Costa coffee’s and coughing their guts up

[@Seany-boy]

The thing is subbies dont give a fuck. Throw it up and hope for the best. Ive been on the trowel for 30 + years and I can honestly say the standard of work these days is shit. Get a few eastern Europeans on the line and pay them "X" amount a day and let them run in the line, while someone with half a clue builds the tricky bits or sets up profiles and marks the gauge up. The whole being a tradesman and having PRIDE in your work is a distant memory. I wouldn't mind but Brickwork is a lot easier now than when I was an Improver. No arches ( maybe prefabricated ones , that you drop and point up) , English/Flemish bonds ( normal and garden wall varieties for example ) are a distant memory. Half the idiots I work with now are brain dead and mess up simple things like wall ties up reveals , tray damps, weeps ...fuck it, even pointing up is far to complex for some people. Guess that's why I get paid more lol. Start a new job on site.Give it till breakfast and then hit the subbie up for more money. The NVQ is a shit show compared to City And Guilds. Rant over ...Im rough as a badgers asshole !!!

[@connorvasey1]

I am an apprentice of 1 year and I can tell you this. They do NOT want to teach you how to lay bricks, they have no interest in teaching. They can earn money as a ‘bricklayer’ by putting the trowel down and being paid a salary from the local government funded college. As I’m in the end of my first year I have undertaken my own pointing jobs (lime mortar) and research, read and watch videos on KZbin. Yes it’s bloody boring and miserable but I will have to keep watching until I can competently lay bricks the right way. I am a hoddy through the week on a new build and also lay bricks and blocks when I am ahead. Now - Am I right saying after the skwint there should be a queens closure? and uniform at the other end of the course?

[@liamwalters5029]

To be honest it should have not got as far as they did , proper supervision would have stopped them on the second course, notice you have other video of poor bricklaying on your channel do you follow them about? 😉

[@lewisgreen2957]

Blimey. I was a hod carrier back in the 90’s and the brickie foreman set the bond and made the trowels plumb their perps. Admittedly it was on sites in London, not field ranging. I was on 55 a shift! Laughable😅 How these men who did this got on the site is mind bending. Any new starts back in the day were watched and if they couldn’t do it were booted offsite
