Bricklayer and his improver building a single garage

What do you think of the red bricks?

台灣蓋房子希望能跟你們依樣蓋房子方式能安全能快速可惜台灣房子營造工程建築建造不像你們國外這樣 看你的影片好療育又歡樂 可惜台灣沒有台灣蓋房子工程只講求快又不安全 台灣營造房子土木營造建築行業大缺人都斷層 台灣蓋房子都累得腰酸背痛 Hello I am Asian Taiwanese The first time I followed you YT video was released early and it’s great I hope that when building a house in Taiwan, I can build a house in the same way as you do. It can be safe and fast. Unfortunately, Taiwan’s house construction engineering and construction are not like your overseas ones. Watching your videos is so therapeutic and joyful It's a pity that Taiwan doesn't have housing construction projects in Taiwan. They only focus on speed and safety. Taiwan's house construction and civil engineering construction industry is in desperate need of people. Building a house in Taiwan is so tiring that my back aches

Hi charlie i love workn with them type of bricks only here in ireland we use mostly concrete ones 😢😢 crap winter brick and harder clay bricks like red rustic . the ones you workn with are softer and not as uniform but you can still make em look good my man 👌👌👌 ricky the bricky

[@azamurks]

Atherstone reds they look like, horrible in the summer suck the life out of the muck

[@thomascoyne157]

Prefer the buff colour ones the red ones look too common👍👍

[@johnnicholson4862]

Fascinating. I love watching skilled workers. Thanks.

[@bdrick06]

i’m in college doing my first year of brickwork and i do love it but watching you and your skills have made me fall into a great passion for the trade. Me and my mate come home from college and watch all your videos to get better, keep up the great work you inspire more people than ya think ❤️

The time it takes to be a good brickie ya may as well learn to be a solicitor

[@martin2466]

@@tungstentuktuk24 It can take 6 years to qualify as a Solicitor, from Law degree to obtaining your Practicing certificate. Of course the rewards are good but the long hours and stress really suck.....!!! Its "Horses for Courses," do what your happiest at.

[@tungstentuktuk24]

@martin2466 do you think you learn how to be a good brickie by just doing ya 2/3 years as an apprentice? It's 5/6 years at least before ya up there. It's nice not really having a gaffer though,and ya rain days lol

[@martin2466]

@@tungstentuktuk24 Thank you for your reply. When I started in the Building Industry a apprenticeship was 5 years in length, and that is precisely what I served achieving my City & Guilds Craft & Advanced craft certificate before venturing on to site as an "Improver." I then did forty - nine years on the blade before retirement. I got into the very cut throat world of new build housing quite early on. So I know exactly how long it took me to become a good Bricklayer. 😁👍👍

Good video to watch Phil god there are loads of different brushes see you in the next video have a good evening and weekend simon

[@craigread5603]

Charlie you're a top bricky 👍🏼 Have you tried a mortar rake on an angle grinder for getting the profile holes out? They're good bits of kit and if the joints arent too hard it zips through them

[@jmcolita0424]

Thanks for the long Video Charlie 👍👍👍

[@FloatingCroc]

I was a hoddy for a 6 & 1. I couldn’t keep up sometimes (on a straight run) and one of the trowels had to drop off the line to help me with loading out. Wasn’t unusual to shovel easily 5-7 ton into the mixer in a day. I could almost nosh the exhaust of a manitou when we had one to chuck a bath up. I was that fucked in the transit that I felt sick and the fellas used to give me a kick at my stop home. I miss those days. Rows, fights, arguments and weekly hassles.

[@monkeynova2012]

My time as a nipper saw me sat in a muck tub in the back of a transit. It was fucking grim. Wet and cold in the winter and hot and dusty in the summer. The wankers used to squirt ketchup and mayo through the holes of panel divider from the front. They used to wind me up like fuck because I worked faster when I was raging! It sounds like Hell, but they were the best times of my working life so far!

[@davidpeat184]

Bro makes this job look so easy, I know it’s not, but just goes to show how good you really are Charlie.

[@patrickobrien5367]

Good morning don't miss the cold weather but miss laying bricks 😊great video 📹 now here in the Philippines weather too hot 😂now of too the beach ⛱️ never coming back to the cold 🥶 weather 😂thanks again for your video 👍 ❤keeps the good work up see on the next one 😊

[@scottgibs7887]

Evening mate new to the trade any chance you can do a kit list please.fantastic job/videos

[@globalnomad450]

Do the bricks that are wet get dried out and used, or thrown?

[@deptheocd1982]

Amazing talent 👍

[@alternativeopinion310]

When mixing wet and dry bricks....do full course dry, full course wet, not random mixed

[@alternativeopinion310]

...you will find all the beds are dry after pointing with no brush marks

[@wumpty93]

Always put dry bricks on the first course or on damps. Gives the wall a chance to go off. Nothing worse when the bottom bed is piss water and your wall wants to start leaning over

[@johnsutherland6322]

Hi how much salary do you recevie

[@alangreenley3257]

100% right when you talk about laying wet bricks, no matter how good you are , you just cant lay them , they swim, smudge, sink, and in the end your work gets pulled for looking shite a few days later, just not worth the risk

[@mattcurtis8209]

Agreed 💯 on the Blake's

Good work charlie

[@jackrussell9811]

nothing worse than running down the face ! i was done with site work years ago thankfully why dont they put up a basic bit of scaffold with the tin roof on to protect the bricks , building sites have never evolved and cant see it changing

[@RichardDowd]

I was thinking, with all that kit that is on a big site, surely they can keep it off the floor and cover it! 🍻

[@666findom]

I've said the same for years Companies worth millions billions and can't cover up the bricks then it's the brickys fault as it looks shit

Couldnt you ask them to deliver dry bricks only, specifically stating you will refuse accepting any wet ones. They might be able to put a note on your order, i dunno

[@doublen7135]

When they delivered they were dry ones, just didnt store em properly on site (first ones they were loading out at least)

Sometimes there delivered already wet and wrapped, holding in moisture, you can guarantee the salts will be coming out on wet red bricks

When I was young, I hated you brickies for the speed you put stuff down, especially when getting paid per brick. One of my first site jobs was mixing the mortar for a couple of bricklayer teams, bags and sand on a board, bucket of water, and mixing it with a squaremouth. busted my arse to keep up with them, then wheelbarrow and bucket on a line up the scaffold. absolutely non-stop. Good memories, good crew, but glad I got into dems instead, it's a lot easier bringing the wall down than helping it go up.

[@jeffshearer5125]

Nice job, you can put em down.

[@lmilne4859]

Would ran all sides in 1 go more so with damp bricks all dry similar rates beds and joints for point bar last few. Guessing you may have done that if had another body supply the muck to you and Tom. Just saves when last wall wacked at end pointing them becomes an issue. Smashed as per buddy. A don’t see nobody taking your crown at the super trowel. Ul smash it again a full expect another don’t fuck it Charlie boy 😎😎🤙

[@liamwalters5029]

I’d give up if I had to work on sites my advice to anyone is to get off them asap
