DIY Reclaimed Brick Walkway Around the Workshop

[@BenTardif]

Take a guess as to how many individual pieces of brick make up this walkway! I'll like your comment if you're within 25 bricks

[@miquelaumedes6407]

458 bricks?

[@DustinMoffitt]

446

[@franmartinez9220]

At least 256

[@jtriendeau9016]

750

[@boastyy]

435 bricks

[@JoshJorg44]

Before putting down sand, you really need a crushed gravel base. That will keep them from sinking over time

[@rodskinner3609]

This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection kzbin.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.

[@RumMonkeyable]

Always, always, 90 degree angles.....never more, never less....why we love watching Ben's projects. He's so doggone 😉 (literally) precise! Recycling is a good thing. 👊👍💪😍

[@petranilla14]

I love how your " supervisor" does his job. Loving the walkway.

[@fate300m]

Your technical difficulties are really funny... the shoe lace seemed to be the last straw. LOL Good job young man!!

[@amx3000]

Imperfection?! You call this imperfection?!?! What is perfection then!

[@mosconi0359]

You did a great job, and kudos for "re-purposing" those old bricks. If I were to give you any advise at all it would be this, "wear eye protection" when pounding in those plastic spikes and hammering on the bricks! Be safe.

[@bates1256]

Even though it's annoying, but it was so cute when your dog ran over the sand :D

[@michelewesthuis3100]

Good job! Love your attitude and channel

[@skillman2009]

great video and nice commenting - was easy to follow your work-flow. and the results look great!

[@NicholasYaekle]

I love that your "foreman" is inspecting your work as you go!

[@halahlo7007]

Hi i like how brick walkway turned out I can't wait to see you put the grass Good job And keep up the good work 👍🏻👏🏻

[@Cradley684]

You did a great Job Ben, who need's Pro's, Stay Safe and have a nice day !!! Brian UK .

[@MMAKingRay]

Man i love the fact you post your mistakes or bloopers i suppose. Keep those up.

[@jeffforbes3772]

Looks great! Rock (or brick) on Mr. Tardif.

[@kellyb7321]

No one going to mention just how much work that looks like? My back would hurt for a week doing something like this.

[@jacquestardif5848]

Like the look of the brick. Great job.

[@Booyamakashi]

In Europe we lay sand with addition of cement to glue the bricks and make it stick and harder to wash away by rains. Also we compact sand with cement to make sure it wont move on its own. But california probably dont have as much rain and problems coming with that :)

[@teofilstevenson]

Well done. I enjoyed watching.

[@wadereynolds9477]

Your a very smart guy in many ways!!!

[@Donnie9by5]

You do great work what kind of work your doing! This place will be a show home with the improvements you are doing!!!

[@TheJurki9]

Greetings from Poland! I'm big fan of your work :)

[@mindi.m]

Another skill added to your list! Nice work!

[@josiecapps2555]

That was quite a job!

[@NicholasYaekle]

That broken shoelace spoke to all of us who've dealt with building issues; like what else is going to go wrong? lol

[@aussiejas6599]

Great Job with the bricks your the man Ben..

[@verticle2612]

Nice work brother.

[@rikjones5924]

How many times cats,dogs etc walked on a finished job like this lol,a few times for me,came back next day and wow.goid video

[@bobby3849]

Nice work. Bravo 👏👏thanks for the clip

[@DEEDEEGARRETT1]

Looks so much better. Great work !

[@jc-qc3yu]

Bro it looks beautiful

[@LogHouseFarm]

I am going to guess just over 200 bricks, maybe 225? It looks good, I am enjoying seeing the progress of your space. I am a big fan of repurposing materials.

[@-gina1114]

Looks really good Ben!👍

[@ismaelmelendez7808]

Great job Kid , keep up the Great work everything is coming along awesome.

[@danyiordache]

you better keep the videos coming, your vidoes are awesome to watch, keep it up Ben :D

[@osukacards]

Good work 👍

[@SoggyBiscuits1000]

2:46 i was so waiting for this!!! lol

[@syncRamon]

2:44 Technical Issues LUL XD The path looks awesome! I hope the Yard will become realy cosy. You are realy inspiring!

[@MangoJasssss]

Doofie is that 3 year old kid who follows their mom into the bathroom and asks “whatcha doin?” 😂😂

[@jackbyrnes2238]

Cheers Dude, Keep it up

[@tuanvu-wc3kz]

Thank you for the video

[@robscherer]

Looks great!

[@gort5583]

Doing a great job!

[@Sean-be8lg]

Great videos. Thank you

[@sydneymcconnaughhay5947]

Great job ,

[@Lando_P1]

Looks great

[@cheffsolo7739]

Great video ! Any up date on it ?

[@SkaterChan]

Hi! So I'm an audio engineer by trade, I saw your video making the sound proof room to do voiceovers in! My bit of advice would be that sound proofing and sound treatment are two different things. Your current voiceovers sound a little boxy, so maybe add more things in that room that will deaden the room sound. Great videos!

[@julietphillips1991]

Best all round handyman in the world...and you did not hammer your thumb in the "technical difficulties"! (I know what that feels like!) I am too busy trying to figure out the time frame of all the other projects you did in that area based on your previous videos, so I have concluded that this brick laying in this video is confusing me! Can't guesstimate the number of bricks therefore. But you can still "like" my comment! (Makes an otherwise crappy day feel not so crappy.)

[@jamescrawford7513]

Make sure you insulate that hose-bib before winter, or you are going to have a BIG mess!

[@trailnscaleRC]

Corgi!!! great vid

[@byronmoran9943]

Nice job! I see you’re properly social distanced and fully mask compliant too!

[@marioglodek6755]

Just a piece of advice to make the installation got faster. lay all the pavers excluding the cut pavers, then once all the bricks are laid, just cut away and lay them. then you can measure more than one at a time and cut a few in one go.

[@judeperera1341]

Beautiful..

[@marielybrito]

Idk if it would work but after you finish I would put floor polish so it can look skinny idk but I will try this soon... with the help of your video

[@Marine-wj4jv]

Nice job! Cutting 45 on brick is not easy!

[@AM-jm5dr]

Why didn’t the concrete just go all the way around?

[@rellt5498]

Exactly what I was thinking.

[@Bewefau]

could be money?

[@rellt5498]

@@Bewefau While I do appreciate the work, and the video content of it + the re-purposing of the bricks, that is still a pretty small pathway.. It would have been very little effort of the people pouring concrete to frame out that area for a walkway and cant imagine it being a whole lot more added to total cost.

[@gonzalez-valdez8043]

Nice....what’s the name of the bucket of sand that you bought to prevent weeds?

[@davidsnacks]

How did you find the capped pipe, do you talk about that in a video?

[@josiecapps2555]

Love dogs🐾🤗🐾🤗

[@jginmt]

I live in an area with ice and freezing. I found I have to touch up with new polymer sand every year, if not weeds do creep in.

[@Reddylion]

Nice

[@bambam9457]

444 and how does one break a shoelace 🤣🤣🤣 you also deserve more subs

[@jmonahan1]

PVC pipe is not UV resistant and will shatter over a couple years, causing your to have to dig up your brick work. Gravel fines should also be laid down and compacted before sand. A good video on how to lay bricks is provided by This Old House, search for it.

[@fate300m]

BUSTED OUT LAUGHING AT 2:45

[@ryanjansen3229]

Haha! I follow Ben on Instagram so I’ve already seen this! Great video as always!

[@ZackPyle]

Was the brick walkway always planned? I was wondering this whole time why you didn't have the concrete just poured all the way around...

[@KryptonicHD]

I’m learning so much! Awesome video

[@tacopenguinproductions]

remember what I said last time you for that problem of washing them you can make a doggie wash system kinda like a carwash system and put I were the walk out of the mud run for more detail I replied to your reply to me! :P

[@p3692]

Looks great, guess about 300 bricks

[@corydriver7634]

To keep your wood steaks from splitting cut the corners off. Catching a corner is what causes them to split.

[@Terrylokito1]

I know this is. 2 year old video but What exact poly sand did you use?

[@carlosc.8707]

Ben, the office you built yourself has no ventilation, your air is going to run out, you have to breathe it.

[@astefanlopez]

2:43 is it okay to use any kind of sand?

[@ryancostorf5114]

5:07 I honestly think it cuts like butter, butter is hard to cut

[@jamesmartello1]

REALLY love everything about this walkway and EVERYTHING about this entire project. The new building is WONDERFUL!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@Athouna]

How big is your whole compound?

[@Hb92dev]

How is it perfectly level if there's a grade?🤫

[@richardraymond5535]

I take it that it doesn’t freeze where you live

[@matthewcudzilo1854]

My guess is 121 bricks were uses on the walkway, is that correct?

[@vane5736]

325?

[@robertfreund7525]

Big mistake to lock that four leg inspection during work. That would look beter if he helped. Great work

[@whatif8408]

Thanks for the information about polymer sand! I didn't know there was such a thing. I have walkways just like yours made out of discarded paving bricks I found on the property after moving in 18 years ago. They are beginning to shift around too much. I also pull weeds out from between them. You did a really nice job on yours! Very thorough.

[@lassei4659]

And a year after the non stomped sand you used have shrinked and the bricks are now looking like a bumpy road??? Would suggest to use only a max ½ inch sand and 5 - 10 inch of gravel underneath. Sand is to fine a material and will deform over time.. within years..

[@alibuolayyan9038]

You put the pipe clamp after you finish laying the bricks

[@tmessgalaxy1209]

I love your videos you give me so many ideas when it comes to building, you helped me when it came to building and helping me learn new things so thank you

[@andrewbaker5972]

you should build a dog house for doofie

[@samt9014]

Keep doing work ! Looks so good and I enjoy watching it

[@joshsmosarski9903]

Should of used a base of gravel. That’s a lot of sand. Night shift and move with that much sand. You should only have an inch of sand.

[@marybethduke3263]

1535 bricks? Totally awesome project, as always. Love how Doofie wants to be helping you every step of the way.

[@scotthamilton007]

One problem: those bricked are vertical veneer bricks, not pavers. Over time freeze-thaw cycles will break them apart. Better to invest in a cube of pavers better suited for walkways. Otherwise great job.

[@loukehrli2434]

?

[@mommy_milkers703]

450 bricks?

[@Bewefau]

Dude your like Charlie Brown lol.

[@FGUK1973]

Loved the re-use of the bricks in this project. I collect pallets and use the wood for projects at home. Have made 3 storage sheds, a BBQ table and also plant pot table. Also have made 4 double planters and a single planter out of them too. It is good free wood and I am able to pick them up from close to where I live. Even had our local Ice Cream van ask if I wanted some from them as they had 4 from their last delivery of bits. Even delivered it to me as only 5 mins away from their base. Keep up the good work too. Love the helpers leaving their imprints on the sand!!

[@udayreddy_taurian]

where is the brick from ?

[@BenTardif]

Salvaged from elsewhere in my backyard

[@MikaApostol]

❤️❤️❤️

[@faizelkiwi]

Where is the Other Dog?

[@tommetjuuh]

I would spread some sand after the fact instead of blowing it all off. This helps with small movements in the first few weeks after placement.

[@getatmeh629]

Likewise

[@EricStrobel09]

Dont have any kids if you wanna continue doin all these fun projects! Little ones can wreck your free time
