Best feeling in the world, working with family. Treasure every minute.

[@rockandmeatroll]

Sorry for your loss, lovely that the family is still working together.

"What did you do with your Friday night?" ... "Watched a brick laying video" Love these videos mate! Purely a DIY'er about to buy my first house and I'm determined to build a wall somewhere because of your videos!!

[@eddieedward1986]

Great to see you working with your apprentice and teaching him and treating him with property respect. I learned my trade from my dad and he had me in the tools all the time. Only way to learn.

[@samuelcarroll5463]

Great to spend quality time with your Dad

[@DerekTJ]

You may not know this, but a lot of us get great value watching your videos during this lockdown. Netflix only goes so far - some working reality is what many need these days. Well done!

[@jimbrown8399]

Good job done by all. I came to Australia in 1970. Last job was a Brickie's Labourer, great bunch of blokes to work with. Dont miss the cold though. Ended up being a Chippie, now retired. Stay safe all.

[@loupiscanis9449]

Cheers Stu' Thank you , KC and Jang , Both about the same , too hard to call ,

[@daveramsay8598]

17:15 Jang seems to be drinking strong tea and enjoying the job too much.... great video showing well constructed concrete block walls nice to see the Ttention to the detail and finish. Close on the pointing. Couldn't call it.

[@stephenmckenna3156]

Used to only do private work but been on sites for the last 15 years defo more a relaxed atmosphere that will help the apprentice

[@UndisputedRoofer]

Wish I was working with these guys.im obsessed with block/brick laying.

[@Grumszy]

Always had a few masonry nails, to save knocking pins into existing block work or brickwork...great vid, like the banter.

[@antonjones3753]

Great video mate love these videos where we are watching in real time and it's not sped up.

[@bt7c642]

Imagine working with stu that’s a dream and this teen gets a dream wow 🤩 lucky 🍀 guy good luck on ur bricklaying brother

[@HughWaters]

Can't beat a proper tea break. Tea breaks should be filmed more often.

[@Sarin-Dan]

You three always put a smile on my face! Must be a great working atmosphere!!!!

[@evocarti]

I know you're not running a charity but get the corners up and let the young'n run them in while you film it.

[@AGermz]

Went through 5 companies till I found one that put me on the wall ... worth the 4 year hustle of laboring

[@frank-to7lu]

KC gets the point... Neat, clear lines. Clean brick face.. Nicely done.

[@ginobragoli1448]

I have got to give this one to KC for his pointing but Jang is catching up fast 👏

[@arshadali3286]

Another great video stu.love the respect you give to your dad .i wish everyone treats their parents like that.keep up the good work stu👍

[@СергейЩербаков-и7ь]

Hello. I am a bricklayer from Russia. I really like your channel and I admire your work. I learned a lot of useful things for myself. I dream of having the same trowel as yours. But unfortunately in Russia it is impossible to buy such.

[@ShopTherapy623]

So what you're saying is that I could do this to make a small garden bed. Perfect

[@harrybrew69]

I Used to work with a lad who had 15 sugars in his tea. I gave him 16 once, by mistake, and he said it was too sweet!

[@GediSpock]

Love watching you lot. Boss 👊😎 Seeing Jang progress has been ace. Love seeing you work with your Dad. My dad is 82 now. So he’s part time these days. Still working tho. But all I ever wanted to do as a boy was work with my Dad. So I love seeing that you’re still at it. Right. Crack on lad. 👊😎

[@Joe-jv5mm]

Top Man, Great to see the banter

[@karimabdullah2925]

Very good apprentice you have there. I’ve had a few and I struggle to get them out of the van without going mad😂

[@tomgazebobob1503]

[@pb9926]

KC's pointing is slightly cleaner but Jang's dancing is better 🙂

[@MK-vq6uy]

Because by the looks of it its all he does all day

[@thatchishandsome5006]

KC always ready with the garden hose to clean up 😂

[@Phil1982]

Great videos Stuart. Inspired by watching them i decided to take on building all my own back garden walls and steps, all on a sloping garden 😬 But, about 1600 bricks later I'm proud to say 'I did that!' And my 66 year old Mum did the labouring and brewing up 😁!! So for us it's PB and HB! Not your standard obviously but not bad for an accountant! Just don't look too closely at my perps and don't try and plumb it 😂

[@thelaidbackguitarist]

Love yours and KC's double act!

[@JimJimpmjj]

Very very close on the pointing, both very good, but KC just just edges the win. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@peterhaigh5764]

[@nigel4425]

Question... how long would you run a block wall like that without piers?? Nice work!

[@-onehardhat9035]

Hello. Thanks for the helpful lessons on brick and block masonry. Please tell me what is the composition of the masonry mixture for bricks and blocks? If this is a ready-made mixture, what is it called? Thank you.

[@chrisfreeman5782]

Must be great stu to work with your Dad and pass on your joint knowledge\skills and work ethic to Jang

[@garethwells9851]

Hi, a couple of questions please, what was the name of the things you used to tie the new blocks to the original building? And also what ratio of sand and cement do you use for blocks?thank you.

Love ur work stu,keep it up..just one question, how come u dont have any piers in wall,especially 4inch single block,especially 2 at doors

[@grahamebennett2620]

Hard to call but the marshalltown jointer wants launching. The joints get wetter. Nice bit of hose would make a neater joint.

Hello, my dear, Levy from Gaborone Botswana(Africa)do you have the video of building a two-roomed with a combined door in the middle to get into the other room and an entrance from the first room. example, the whole structure measures 9 meters by 4 meters, ( room one with the exit being 5m by 4m while the second one being 4m by 4m. , Thank you

[@diluxe]

Hi, question on the 100 mm cut block corner returns , could.you use a normal brick instead of you didn't want to bother with cutting blocks ? Hope that makes sense 🙂

I wish the mortar I use In college was like the mortar you use 🤣🤣 Awesome video, and awesome work Stu, KC and Jang. Top tradesmen! 👌👍

[@rtvgodzz6416]

What mortar do you use ?

[@rhysthebricky2171]

4:1 training mortar with hydrated lime

[@rhysthebricky2171]

Its very watery most of the time 😔

[@rhysthebricky2171]

Yeah, I'm not sure what type though because the tutors that host the lessons, mix the mortar so Its ready to use straight away when the lessons begin. 🤔

[@silvarback]

Im doing an extension single story double skin can i use the lighter blocks or is it best to use concrete blocks and what is the mix for the morter thanks Stu

[@jackmason7780]

Hey m8 how do you make sure the blocks arnt tippers and flush when laying And how do you get full perp joints on bricks and blocks please

[@patrickmccarthy884]

Great video well done

Kc's for sure but surely it doesnt matter at all with blockwork? Just needs to be structural?

Jang's getting quicker!

[@judgeroybean6930]

I was alright until you opened up that sausage & bacon roll Stuart,Mmmmmmmm, Wanted to ask if it's possible to do a video short showing how to cut/chop a brick then a block please? I've tried so many times to do it and I've got loads of 'bits and pieces of both but no half bricks or blocks cut correctly.

Hey what's your ratio for your motar there?

[@lmilne4859]

Should be like me sweet enough take no sugar. Lovely skills from the kc though what’s up with that lol 😆 👍🏻 KC pointing not much in it though. A always like to rake the beds if getting Roughcast. Some sites worked on if wasn’t raked would be a take down job. Some others wanted flush just brushed of. Nowadays most want it pointed which is crazy giving it a key finish less for render to grip on.

[@aag6499]

What are the dimensions on those bricks? Btw you guys always make a quality work every time..😇😇

How come only one skin of 4inch for extension?
