Anyone watching from USA before you admire our NHS just look at Steve in pain almost immobile struggling on without complaint waiting for a hip operation.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

All true except the no moaning, i never stop moaning 😒🤣🤣🧱👍🏽

[@tonydalton6756]

If I were as skilled as you guys. I reckon I'd spend longer standing back & admiring than working. 😆 Great job again lads.

I always have a pencil sharpener in my pocket. lol. Nice job, looks like you’ve laid a few bricks in your time Steve. Looks mint when pointed.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Thanks pal , a few 😂🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱👍🏽

[@kingofthetrowel1725]

Nice one fellas 👍 was looking at that blockwork if you didn’t have the 100mm bit on corner it would work full block without cut in middle but then wouldn’t work with window 😂 it never works does it 🤣🤣 keep u[ the good work Steve and Alex 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Nope, never bloody does 😒

[@KeithAubrey-v6p]

Great video as always guys, i really enjoy watching everything you do. I'm really looking forward to the works on the old farmhouse, something different. A question from a non bricklayer. I notice Alex butters the end of the brick layed, but Steve butters the brinck in his hand. Is this personal preference? Keep up the great work.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Thanks very much . Depends which way I’m working L-R or R-L 🧱👍🏽

[@markkilshaw1038]

Great job

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

[@jg-sn6ry]

looking good, what size cavity is that...Does it meet the current u values

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

100mm doesn’t need to on an orangery 🧱👍🏽

[@randomstranger9674]

"technical issues ..." 😁

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

😏🧱👍🏽

[@SheardTV1]

Genuine query, why don’t the mortar lines on your new wall line up with the original house wall. (The bricks are at different heights).

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Different bricks , different gauge 👍🏽🧱

[@IainBruce7]

What insulation is that you use, noticed it before, looks nice and thick?

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

It’s Isover 100 mm full fill cavity batts 👍🏽🧱🤙🏾

[@paulthompson8644]

What have the docs said about an operation? Or have they said that you’ve got to wait?

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Been waiting 20 months Feb hopefully 🤞🏼 😬🧱👍🏽

[@paulthompson8644]

WHAT? 20 months? That’s terrible. Is that because it wasn’t severe enough or because of your age or something else?

[@Theoldbricklayer]

Another great video. Have a great Sunday 👍

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Cheer OB 🙌🏽🧱👍🏽

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Hi Paul it dragged on then was put on hold due to a nail infection which took months to get rid of 😔😔🧱👍🏽

[@ljd8520]

Hi Steve, did that wall meet Building Regs in terms of insulation? Or does it need insulation backed plasterboard on the inside ?

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

As it’s an orangery under permitted development it not under regs either 🧱👍🏽

[@ljd8520]

@SteveAndAlexBuild gottcha, cheers.

@@SteveAndAlexBuild Such wonderful news, and you can have a a relatively stress free Christmas holiday - well hopefully anyway. What happens to Alex, during your recovery time?

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Not earning for so long will be very stressful 😣. We hope to sort Al out with work here and there 😬🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Looing good guys. Christmas is near are you all ready?🙂

Cheers . Not far if now 🧱👍🏽

[@lestertennysonsmith-xw2fm]

What's that new profile called looks good

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

These are my 38 year old Blakes profiles 😆🧱👍🏽

[@lestertennysonsmith-xw2fm]

@SteveAndAlexBuild not those ones mate the one fixed to the existing wall which looks brand new,the end where Alex was running in

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Ah , 🤣. It’s called Build fast 🧱🧱👍🏽

[@JasonJames-d8k]

Why don’t you cut vertical dpc in the existing house wall in between the new outer brickwork and inner blockwork to stop the damp travelling through from the existing outside wall into the inside of the new extension?

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Only do it when I absolutely have to . Waste of time 🧱👍🏽

[@JasonJames-d8k]

It won’t be a waste of time when the outside brickwork gets wet and soaks through too the inside wall that will be plasterboarded and plastered getting damp because technically there’s nothing too stop this it will still be an outside wall under the plasterboard!

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Yes it is . I’ve been at this game for 38 years and have never , not once been called back because some miracle moisture has travelled 11 inches through bricks then popped out when it gets inside . Nor have I heard of it happening to anybody else .

[@JasonJames-d8k]

No worries I’ve only been at it 37 years and it’s good working practise to either maintain a continuous cavity or cut and put in a 6” dpc especially if the exterior brickwork is in an exposed area or an area that the weather hits the water will travel through . And that’s what building regs would require I know your doing that on a permitted development but that’s how it should be done 👍🏻

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

👍🏽

[@eddieMurphy11111]

did I hear your short cut was closed? do they know how important you two are? they should give you a pass word and let you through, but never mind, good job well done. Thanks for the video.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

That short cut added 30 to 40 minutes to the journey when they shut it and my bad hip is my clutch leg . It is now unbearable to drive 😢🧱👍🏽

[@eddieMurphy11111]

@@SteveAndAlexBuild I can hardly drive with a clutch now after i had a new knee and through covid did not do any exercises, all my own fault but i have a auto so i am ok .

[@RoyPayne-e6z]

When do you open cavity on existing??

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

🧱👍🏽

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

When the building inspector requires it 🧱👍🏽

[@davidconnolly7346]

Steve‘s face work has always been first rate, but I remember Alex’s work when he started being a little sloppy as you would expect from a 1st year. Not sure how long it’s been now, but hasn’t his workmanship improved! Not as fast as Steve yet but neat as now, wow. Don’t you love the apprenticeship system. It used to be 4 years in Aus, it’s a little quicker now but it does really take that amount of time to train a good tradesman. It really is becoming Steve and Alex Bricklaying absolutely.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Thanks very much, we need to work on the speed now 👌🏼🧱👍🏽

[@davidconnolly7346]

Quality first then speed, that’ll happen.

[@davidconnolly7346]

One thing I do notice Alex, tradesmen in Australia do not sit down ever really. We either kneel or squat. Tradesmen have a spring in your step, the good ones anyway. You are picking it up really fast now.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

@davidconnolly7346 😉🧱👍🏽

[@donaldgould4976]

Sorry but Alex would not last 5 min with out you the young ones are ment to look out for the older ones you have worked all yor days should be taken more of the burden

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

You obviously don’t watch usually and don’t have a clue

[@richka4557]

Could do better with my eyes closed in my opinion🤷‍♂️

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Wow that sounds like a good video, let us know when you post it so we can critique you 🤡
