Thanks stu mate

[@johnrobinson8364]

I have just found you short while ago and your skill and professionalism are top notch you say you are just bricklayer is wrong you master bricklayer/builder

[@IzzytheBricky]

Thank you so much John, really appreciate it! Hope you enjoy the videos!

[@CyberKidXtra]

You and Charlie should do a collab video - I reckon it would be awesome!

[@user-DANWALKER1066]

The wall plate never sticks to the sand / cement you say….i got into the habit of tacking wire mesh to my wall plates on the side even leading around to the wall internally to take any plastering on the inside and also for the compo to grip onto the wall plate …bit fiddly to do but well worth it to keep your wall plate in position…just a way I’ve got into doing it then there’s the argument who’s job is it carpenter or bricklayer - I’d say because it involves bedding on it’s the bricklayers job…

[@IzzytheBricky]

Bang on mate, like that little tip

[@user-DANWALKER1066]

@@IzzytheBricky Lots of people don’t seem to mesh the internal wall plate they just plaster over it - then they wonder why it all cracks later on the wood expanding and contracting but with mesh already on it the plaster adheres better to it and it shouldn’t crack at the top of the wall… cheers Izzy love your work bring on some videos I’ve ran out of videos to watch now I think!

Izzy, I know you don't always show the post-bricky parts of the job. But as this is your parents gaff it'd be super interesting to see the roof structure progresses/is finished on this, if possible! Lovely work as always lad 👍🏻

[@IzzytheBricky]

Cheers mate! I only got a time laps of the roof going on! And I can't lie, I don't know too much about joinery, so I would be blagging it...of I tried to explain what was going on. I will make a video on the steels going on and things like that though 🤜🤛

[@edthompson9337]

Tidy job Izzy, wish some of our local brickies were abit more like you. The height of the wallplate will not always be level with the existing, in this case as you are using trusses it will be. If a traditional cut roof was going on the size of new rafter being used and any difference in cavity size between new and old walls would affect the height, always best to check with carpenter if you can.

[@IzzytheBricky]

[@marcdesrosiers4312]

What holds the plate to the wall for wind sher

[@edthompson9337]

Galvanised steel tie down straps are hooked over the wallplate and then screwed into the face of the blocks, the straps are spaced at 2m centres approx.

I never understood why the wall plate is laid on mortar.is it building regs.

I've spoken to joiners before and they sometimes just.pack it up to hight with plastic packers. But I couldn't tell you if it's regs buddy

[@andywest3260]

Why didn’t you put in DPC over the door ways and weep holes

[@markrichardson5295]

It can cause forward sliding when no real weight of brickwork

[@topcatcoolio8807]

It looks like a big overhanging soffit covering here

Hi mate, spec says you don't need DPC over any Lintels if there is less than 600mm of brickwork above it. 😊 Cheers for the comment bud

You laid wood plate in mortar? Not legal in most countries!

Hiya mate! This is very common practice in England! In Fact, it's considered a must 💪 Hope your well glad your enjoying the videos

[@edskapin7171]

@@IzzytheBricky I am also a Bricky with 44 years experience. Your practice of not putting on a vapor barrier on the block surface inside the cavity allows moisture access into the house. It is not allowed in North America or most countries around the world. Neither is casting untreated wood in mortar or concrete. It will rot out over time. You will find this in most building codes around the world for good reason.
