How to build front features

[@paulrawley216]

Hi changy,can't wait to see how you do the cuts around the arches, i like the way you pay special attention to the small details! Plus a great teacher to the guys! Keep it up mate!

[@dixinormous4918]

Good informative video that changy,too many lads want to earn the big money but cant be bothered to buy the tools to make life easier and faster

[@Changy_C]

Very true

[@dixinormous4918]

Where did you get the profiles stabilers from

[@oudekraal7460]

rule of thumb, wait till you need it, only then buy the special extras

[@mattcott22]

How come youre not turning the damp up over the air vents Changy? Do you not put weeps in over the vents?

[@kenforshaw8901]

Hi. What a great video, as I am an old novice, could you tell me what is wrong with some of the bricks that you pick up and look at and then throw them away. As they look ok to a novice me. You do an excellent job and do great videos.

[@Changy_C]

If these have even a small chip I toss them out,

[@user-rv7ig6yg8k]

Changy what is the lift price on one of those big detached?

[@user-rv7ig6yg8k]

Chang what spacing do you put your ties in at 900mm?

[@Changy_C]

Lime 700mm just to be safe

[@Ste2023]

Great vid Changy... Did u put a double damp course on door entrance...? Do u think wire mesh should be used more instead of ties .. (I know cost is a factor ) ..

[@Changy_C]

I did, didn't you see me cut it? Mesh is the better option but I wouldn't mind a se to see ancon tie

@@Changy_C sorry . Thought I heard u mention double dampy . ( My mistake).

Dunno why i watch building videos, but i do. I hope i never have to work on a site again 😅

[@user-rv7ig6yg8k]

I’m guessing you used to work on sites ? It is horse work , they’re is no integrity on sites everyone is just out for themselves , and have to work 100 mph to earn a wage

[@dannymite1981]

​@@user-rv7ig6yg8k Building sites are grim, stressful,hard repetitive work especially on price.Earned decent money bricklaying but after 20 years that was enough,not sure if it was worth it.Fair play to all doing it though because it's effing tough!

[@oudekraal7460]

what sort of equipment to brickwork subbies have to provide apart from trowels, plumb bob, lines and levels, bandstands? spotboards? cutters? hods? cracking job lads, funny seeing the design requiring gauged brickwork - must be a very tight site? btw those stacked reveals are looking well tidy.

[@Jd23-iw7kk]

I like to do my stack bond up a doorway by leaving them off. Once built main brickwork to height i reset a profile on the already built corner by projecting 10mm (or what ever project is) then set a profile up the doorway again projecting 10mm and run in line to line it flies up

trying to get my grandson to start a aprentice bricklayer,17 year old,you would be a great tutor,

[@Changy_C]

Thanks but don't try to make them, they either want it or don't

[@oudekraal7460]

electricals and he gets to work inside mostly, digital twin is a biggie but send him to holland to study brickwork as the dutch have some super interesting brick buildings and crzy pride about their work

[@kevins8386]

​@@Changy_Cyour wrong mate alot of them haven't got a clue what they want to do at that age and how many boys on site dreamd of being bricky

[@kevins8386]

Ide advise plumbing or electrician if he's going in to building and I'm a bricklayer make sure he's in everyday and on time that's half the battle with the youngsters
