Two jobs in life I wish I could do - bricklaying and plastering. Sadly I have resigned to the fact I'm crap at both. Great job gents!

Love to see the old guy at work. I’m 65 and had to retire at 61 because I had to get knee replacement surgery. Texting from Vancouver Canada. Jim. Ps. I started bricklaying when I was 17 finished my apprenticeship when I was 20.

That’s a shame you had to retire . It’s a tough game on the body 🧱👍🏽

A good job there guy's Alex doing some work i see LOL "Kiddin" i like the attention to detail for the Cat Flap LOL it's gonna look the Bee's Knee's (Toned down ) Just kidding around a very good job and as i am a month behind i get to see without having to wait, These video's must get you all kind's of work usually you would have to look out for references with the trade having a bad press (Cowboys) So when you can look up your work it is a bonus and Price is all there is to settle and your work is Very well done i would have NO Qualms in hiring the pair of you to do any Brickwork ,Paving , Etc Etc, Its nice to see Quality work and if the Rain would have held up but that's British weather for you it must be frustrating the weather pretty much holding up work especially when you are on a roll and might have other jobs to go on to, Anyway that's my thoughts and i will get on and watch some more of your Video's they are very addictive so Rock On and keep safe guy's G.

Cat Flap's what's kept me happy! Had a Racoon access it few times over the years; but hell we live in Texas & I'd be disappointed if not for them few visits. Here's a good one for too wet to plow... Cotton fields are so muddy that was a buzzard to fly over it his shadow would curl up in it. Line stabilizer's a new one on me! But it's been a lotta tech change since the mid '80's. Cheers!

There SHOULD be a LARGE air space gap in-between the face of the insulation and the OUTER WALL inside the cavity-wall ; this includes an air space gap in-between the face of the insulation and the cavity-wall-tie drip point which point downwards in the centre of the cavity. Cavity wall-ties are laid with a slight downwards slope across the LEVEL mortar joints from the inner to the outer walls. Ask N.V.Q. BRICKWORK teachers for PROOF of this.
