BRICKLAYING, Profile set up for blockwork

[@JD-uh9od]

Have been bricklaying for 30yrs but have never seen a corner block used to set a profile like that. Just goes to show we’re never to old to learn something new. I’ll defo be using that method. 👍👍

[@char85ch]

Same

[@scoyle1750]

Everyones rained of watching KZbin today good idea with the line blocks, your uploads have good content and your penny's worth is worth watching👍

[@markdwyer100]

Loving the level + corner blocks set up thanks for taking the time to video your work much appreciated 👍👍👍👍

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Liking that idea . We used to nail up a roof baton. That’s a big old plot your on too ! We are still working up here in Lancashire throwing in trench bock in the footings 🧱👍🏽

[@CharlieCollison]

you not rained off today then? been a while since I layed trench block wish I got a few vids of me in the footings!

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Charlie Collison After 9 years I can safely say foundations are overrated !

[@lmilne4859]

Like the set up with the corner blocks and levels. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@hornetobiker]

Proper ASMR. Watching pro's do their thing in real time. None of those "Argh what they doing" moments.

[@eamon1552]

Good idea lads. Nothing beats a bit of magic radio too.

[@Jm09085]

eamon moore magic radio is depressing.

[@alwynmaguire8037]

By the time it took to set them profiles up, I would have had the first course down. By the time you set your lines up I would have had a corner built doing my own cuts, by the time your on your fith course I would have finished the wall. No joke.

Alwyn Maguire Your my hero 💪🏼

[@jimdoc6102]

By the time it took you to write your comment I'd have built all the internal walls and be sitting in the Fox and hounds on my second pint

[@SJone]

Aye and rough as toast no doubt! Profiles all day!!!!

[@tedsmall2398]

Started in masonry business in 1976 in 1993 became a foreman in the commercial side of things schools, office buildings, industrial. It's always good to watch a good crew get after it. Do you guys ever use rebar in your block walls ?

[@matthewlatchem4616]

I’ve never seen rebar in blockwork on a build in the UK. We don’t really have earthquakes so it’s not needed.

[@tedsmall2398]

So no cracks either. I am in Texas and its pretty common to start a big wall with an horizontal Bond Beam with at least 2 number 5s. It stops cracks well

[@mickythebricky9634]

Nice clean work space 👌

[@zedkrueger3125]

i know ur not hitting the level directly but that clamp will crack that bubble one day

[@johnclark7049]

Simple this can be done of course when you are waiting on muck coming.

[@fredrickjarmain8169]

Probably one of the easiest blocks to cut with hammer and bolster, yet here we are

[@connerdouglas2217]

Lovely lil trick dat

[@pcjplasterer5661]

I need to learn this coz my bricky hasn't a clue

[@willh6555]

Good idea with the corner blocks mate use weep holes myself but might try your method 👍decent channel

Will H he’s an old drunk lol. He’s alright most days it was a Monday 😂

[@markcrossey87]

Why is the internal wall not tied in, it’s all upright 🤔?

[@fredrickjarmain8169]

Because they forgot 😯

[@alexjarvis7302]

Did you not watch the whole video ?

[@nigelbase1196]

Interesting video and good idea....always a few assholes with their "thats shit, I'm better, can build it faster" comments...keep up the good work lads😉👍

[@AntKardano]

thanks for video, but i have a question, over here when building with aerated concrete blocks we use glue instead of mortar, any reason why you guys are using mortar instead of specialized glue? thanks

[@CharlieCollison]

jamir I’ve never used glue on anything I’ve built mate. We build traditional build housing which is always mortar no mater what we’re building

[@AntKardano]

should look into using glue/adhesive for aerated concrete blocks, the bonds between blocks are stronger, thermal insulation is better, because joints are much thinner and mortar thermal insulation properties are worse than blocks themselves and the price increase vs mortar is not that great.

[@chriswild2458]

Good efficient gang charlie👍

[@MrJasonspratt]

Great tip lads 👍🏻

[@tulw2728]

What are the tools used in this project. I saw a saw being used. What kind is it. Is that cinder block, cement block, concrete block. What it is called or what material the blocks are made of? Thank you.

[@markelvidge8971]

Great Blockwork lad! Top Gang. Got many more videos coming!!?

[@laddijhand5843]

Like that u destroyed the spirit level

[@jamesgill4765]

Where is the ex met or wall ties to tie the wall in ? Did I miss it ??

[@rockandmeatroll]

Dumb question I can't see it, presume the line is pulled off the two levels as normal? And moved up as needed ?

[@CharlieCollison]

yea thats it in a nutshell!

[@rockandmeatroll]

@@CharlieCollison tks. why the line blocks underneath ? What's the space for ?

[@richmills9842]

How does the line go once profiles set on the walls? I take it the line block goes on same side as the Dutch pin and line wraps around the back???

[@englishsavage2490]

I'm still trying to work out why the internal wall is not tied in???? Dont see any ties sticking out on that plot whatsoever.

[@beardedbricky7834]

Man what type of blocks are y’all using that you can saw with a hand saw! Crazy!

[@CharlieCollison]

Bearded Bricky there thermolite blocks mate

[@beardedbricky7834]

How heavy are they? Our 4 inch block run about 25-29 pounds or 11-13 kilos

[@CharlieCollison]

Bearded Bricky there about 8 - 10 kilos I’d say

[@DominicDunn526]

I was wondering what the hell them block were made of.

[@Forest_Ry]

Stacked bond?

[@Frenchwine15]

Am I missing something here. How are you tighing the wall you are building on to the existing wall? And why are you pointing block work that I am sure will be covered in plaster board and skimmed.

[@CharlieCollison]

The profile you see me put up I’m only pulling the line of not building to it but the other side has wall ties what I’m building to. And it’s required by the firm we work for 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@Frenchwine15]

@@CharlieCollison I see Charlie do you are doing as you have been asked therefore, there is thankfully no come back on you and your fellow workers but I know when I build to walls that intersect like that the blocks like brick work would have bonded with out using ties. I have seen wall construction like this more often than when I started out but I am not convinst it's good practice. DD. Keep up the good work. I did like how you put the profile though and I will be using that technique when I need to.

Would ya not damage the level by hiring the Dutch pin ?

Yes really. It saves you over or under loading bricks / blocks. Saves the brickies asking for stuff all day.

@@cheshstyles there's good labourers and bad ones. Brickies labouring is a shit job you have to what to do it. If you don't you'll struggle. You're crew will struggle because of you. I did it for 3 years and I was rapid. Done 4 and 1s in Australia. No easy task. 35 degree heat in summer. Lost about 10kgs in 6 months of summer keeping 4 brickies going everyday myself

[@manwithsomeplans]

Rapid 101 spot on! I was a labourer for 5 years to my old man and brother. I had to mix the pallets, load out, knock up and keep em going all day. I've watched a few of these videos today and can't believe how spoilt they are. I won't hide it I am definitely jealous!
