Bricklaying - Setting out a BIG extension - Teaching the apprentice

[@thebushyone]

The way you speak to your apprentice (at least on camera 😂) is to an outstanding standard and you should be proud. Far too many horror stories about the dogs abuse delivered on some sites. First lesson in life, speak to others the way you want others to speak to you👍

[@IzzytheBricky]

Mate, thank you so much for a very uplifting comment! I'm thrilled that an older Bricklayer, appreciates my work and also the way I go though and explain everything I can to my apprentice/viewers. I try and do that all the time as it helps everyone understand what's going on (if they're new to the game) I'll keep it up mate! I'm currently working on a new video now mate, hope you watch it!

Great Video. Just gotta say I love watching a bricky fling mud along the top course of a line of bricks as if he was playing darts. I once saw a bricky whose aim was so true, he was able to fling a little line of mud from off his trawl directly into the left over vertical space between the bricks that you sometimes end up with, so neatly that you'd swear it was a finished job.

And the trowel, it is a bit daft, 13"🤦 but figured I'd treat myself to a new trowel. Starting a new chapter of my life currently with some shite cracking off with the house and the now ex fiance.

When you're setting out it's how he said every 900mm so you put your tape on corner of your first brick then 900mm to the beginning of your fifth brick so point to point there's 4 bricks in that space and that's what he did which is correct.

Did you know that you can set up a brick clamp to take the arm work out of laying those? You can also lay concrete blocks with ease as well, just takes a little practice. Other Brickie's will look at you like you're a leper or something until you start launching them down. Trust me 😉

Brilliant video. Really enjoyed it. I'm starting the build up to DPC for my garden room in 3 weeks so this video was a welcome, and timely, reminder of things to think about. So much to remember in setting out, for a weekend warrior like me, that I've put it into a step-by-step list - and the 3-4-5 is in there too! The slab I'm laying on isn't 100% level so I'll improvise (ok, cheat) and use a laser level and finder/receiver to ensure each corner block is 'finished' to the same height before running the lines. Looking forward to seeing more on this extension.

Very expensive way to do an expansion. Not used in North America. I am a bricklayer with 44 years experience.
