@@SteveAndAlexBuild In a thousand year's time there'll be KZbin vids about ancient construction technologies and one of your walls will probably be in it. "Here we see the pyramids.

Love the iron rails on top of the wall. Great job guys.

John Wargo . Those railings were I think about 15 years old and not a bit of rust on them as the customers paid a lot extra for galvanised . They had them modified from fitting the pointed coping to fitting onto the new flat brickwork and then put back up . They really set the wall off 🧱👍🏼

[@edskapin7171]

Work is nice and neat . The only comment would be some sort of moisture control between masonry and below grade dirt. As you water plants constant water exposure with masonry will erode mortar joints over time. Other than that looks good.

[@leighclarke2139]

Great video mate, You and your son always do a fantastic job! Wondering - the way you mitre cut those bricks, would you do exactly the same if you were doing a wall for a house at an irregular angle? (would you use ties or the mesh?) Cheers

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Yes mate , exactly that 🧱🧱👍🏽

[@Frenchwine15]

It does look good but why didn't you use some squirt bricks for the corner that wasn't at 90 degrees rather than puttingin a straight joint. Also a double tile crease looks better than an overhanging course of brick. Your work is nice and clean though. But the jointing is dreadful due to using a Marshall town jointing tool better to use a WHS or Tyzack.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

It all boils down to individual taste I suppose. I’ve been using Marshalltown jointers for as long as they have been around and never had a complaint about my jointing . As far as the oversailer I don’t like the tile ... too many joints and mortar going on for frost to get at . The straight joint on the corner was because the angle isn’t a standard 45 degrees so squint bricks weren’t suitable. Thanks for watching and commenting 🧱👍🏽

[@Frenchwine15]

Steve and Alex as a third generation bricklayer having stated at the age of 16 ( 44 years in the trade) all I can say is " I am not perfect by any means but I always strive for perfection". Of course this is something that is never achievable as I can always see room for improvement in my own work. On. The whole I think the finished work looks well and most customers will be highly delighted. However, take it from me try one of the Suggested jointers and a thing called a rail runner something that was used extensively in Australia for long bed jointing. These suggest tools will make your good work look better. I am always looking to improve my work and if someone can do something I have not thought of I am more than happy to give it a try in case there is improvement in my finished product. Regards DD
