Izzy your tuthings and the bats swimming have a half bag cement ready as you lay and just spread thin neat dry cement onto brick prior to laying bed to each course and your reveal will stay sturdy Can't believe all the alterations hope you allowed 25% on top of time and cost plus Malcs in Perth WA ♥️ still keep a eye on you both 😊

Watched this , and really enjoyed it ! Brought back memories!! Missus had a glint in her eye ! She said she was hoping for some excitement herself tonight , but , realized her luck was out , coz , I was already fulfilled!!

[@Adam5130A]

It's almost like the client and architect only just met! What a nightmare. The work looks absolutely flawless.

[@IzzytheBricky]

It's crazy Adam! And there were so many Alterations while I was building it too😅😅 ah well, all in a day's work I guess😂 new video out today at some point 😊

So many alterations… and your attitude of let’s make the family happy for decades to come 👏🏻👏🏻 truly top craftsmen 👍🏻

Resin every time for patio mate. Yes its more expensive than a muck joint but its quicker and you can do it in the rain! Some changes goin on there with the mansion build! Just hate it when customer says:-" can you just do this"!

[@IzzytheBricky]

Cheers mate will look into it! Constantly constantly changing mate...it's the never ending job😂 new video out today Paul😊

[@h2ouxb]

I love an alteration 🤑🤑🤑 along with the reply to the client, “We are trying to keep on track along with all the alterations.” 🤑🤑🤑

[@SS-vz9iv]

When i started sketching out jobs someone once said to me while it's just in pencil it's not costing anything... Technically there's a time element cost but his point was if you draw say 3 options and you iron out all these things like light into rooms and space for very specifically sized TV's it's still a lot cheaper and easier than building a place then altering it all again afterwards. I've always found though that some clients cannot picture anything until it's physical built 🤦🏻‍♂️ Fantastic attitude as always Izzy!! 💪🏻

[@IzzytheBricky]

You couldn't be more right there mate! Definitely hard to picture when things keep changing and new ideas keep popping up😂 thanks for the support mate, new video out today for you mate! Hope you and the family are all well 😊

[@brypow1497]

Loving the vid, as always. As a DIY renovator / project manager/ general donkey it’s great to get an insight. Your style is very entertaining and engaging. A true professional. 👏

[@Alan.92n]

As you say, Izzy, the client has to be happy with what he wants! Heartbreaking, having to redo, but as usual, fantastic work on the alterations. Your joinery skills were impressive also! Drew doing some fine work as well! Great work lads!

[@IzzytheBricky]

That's what it's all about really Alan!😊 Thanks for the support. Always hard to make alterations and make them blend perfectly, but we didn't do too bad😊 new video out later on hopefully

You and drew are the dream team. That really is the dream house. Grand job. Weathers been shit for you 2.

[@IzzytheBricky]

Haha we ain't bad together Ian! Thanks very much! All the best nate😊

[@avishnevsky7394]

It is interesting to see how you are building the walls! I live in Ukraine, here we use blocks from aerated concrete for 50-75% of new private houses. With proper thickness of the block, there is no need for insulation. Result is cheaper comparing to brick walls.

[@IzzytheBricky]

Very interesting mate. I like to hear how different counties build. Hope you and the family are doing well my friend 😊

[@heathclitheroe9955]

Really starting to appreciate your talent kidder , your ability to talk layman will fetch a new style of kids in our trade plus bein honest around a mistake an highlighting they are OK to make. Your enthusiasm is spot on an it works. Keep it up pal .

[@IzzytheBricky]

Thanks so much for the kind comments mate really appreciate it ☺️ all the best

[@CCCP8888]

With the cavity-wall being bridged with insulation (insulation touching the outer walls), moisture will transmit from the damp outer wall through the bridging insulation to the inner wall . Cavity walls that already built up can NOT have cavity wall insulation added. Cavity wall insulation can only be installed from the start of construction of the cavity walls and there must be a LARGE air space gap in-between the face of the cavity-wall insulation batts(panels) and the OUTER WALL inside the cavity ; this ALSO includes an air space gap in-between the face of the cavity-wall insulation batts and the cavity wall-tie drip-point, which must 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. City & Guilds BRICKWORK teachers for PROOF of this

[@robertbutter1759]

Great video! With alterations 2 and 3 be careful to include any dot and dab walls and decorative end panels for your kitchen wall unit measurements! If it's a tight kitchen that could cause issues 👍

[@bricklayersworldwithandy6277]

I hate them jobs but if you are getting paid for it fair enough, but it does mess you up if you are booked up for time. Just stand a piece of 4x2 up the reveal as a profile and lay to that, doing it freehand it will just sink. Sand and Cement for that paving dont use Resin its rubbish, you could use GFTK or Flowpoint which is far superior but they might not like the cost.

[@IzzytheBricky]

Thanks very much Andy, appreciate it and will use the profile method next time! Hope you enjoyed your long weekend 🍻🍻

Thank you for all the insights on the details of bricklaying! Keep up the good work with your videos you are doing great. Here in the Netherlands we always have a 20 to 40 mil gap of air between the outer brickwork and the isolation to provent water go to the isolation/inner wall. In most of your videos i see the isolation placed in between the inner and outer wall. What specific reason is there for not using a air gap? Im curious mate! 👌

Massage respect Izzy for putting up with all that hassle and just getting on with it . I was depressed for you mate . 😩. Lovely job on the brick alterations 👌🏼🧱👍🏽. Believe it or not mate I’ve had 3 people complaining that we have a sponsor . One guy said it’s sad and unsubscribed . Another says we’ve sold out . As you day mate these videos don’t just appear they involve a lot of time and effort . 🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽

[@IzzytheBricky]

Was a bit sad..bit actually quite enjoyed smashing it up😂 these bricks are so rubbish, shattered with a few taps 😂 Mate, 1/1000 people that watch our videos understand the 100s of hours that go into them. If people don't like the ads or sponsors...we don't need them 😂 without the ads and sponsors these videos would be put together in 5 mins like some other people on here 😂

[@sandymacdougall76]

I feel your pain. Had one job where the project manager told me we need you to change this because the client wants 'to see what it would look like'. Have to wonder what it is like having money to burn...

@IzzytheBricky hi m8 quick question again lol Had concrete put in Friday to fill footings in. Had a bit of rain over the night. Saturday morning bricky started. But pump broke to pump water out. Little concerned that Bricky started and layed 7N blocks in 4,5cm of water would this be ok? Or a no no. Thank you m8

[@IzzytheBricky]

Again, totally fine. Motor drying is a chemical process nothing to do with how much water Is on it. Do worry, trust your builder 💪

[@ashestoashes3107]

@IzzytheBricky cheers m8. I'm having a nightmare lol doesn't help that I got OCD. To be fair to builder he pumped what he could out. And he's also just reassured me everything ok. He's making good progress. Thanks for prompt reply. I appreciate it m8. Kind regards R
