[@brad265]

Good tips. And good labor. Nice to see him learning and you young guys continuing the trade

[@ExpectedGlint90]

Hey mate did two weeks of bricklaying in December and starting my apprenticeship really soon and these videos are helping me out a shit load and getting me ready keep doing the good work

[@gilespanton9354]

Much love from the UK love your brick work mate

Cheers for the vid. Glad to see you're still working in Oz. Watching you and the boys work, makes me wish I was young again. Oh well, all the best from England.

Good stuff mate. I've been off work for over a month now. Nz been in lock down, but I start a fresh house Tuesday! Cant wait

[@hendosbricklaying2003]

julian Campbell happy days mate! Stay safe

[@louissmith6300]

Notice in NZ we dont put control joints in brick venner,not required here,unless specified by engineers, depending on length of your wall..While blockwork is every 6metres which is building code..

[@juliancampbell4927]

@@louissmith6300 in south Auckland pokeno all houses have control joints. Something to do with uneven ground or moving ground or something. Do you lay much concrete bricks? I think control are a must with them, in whangarei it was not sure about other places though

[@louissmith6300]

Yes we did lay concrete bricks long before the earthquake happened, control joints were used..Now nobody uses concrete bricks anymore, because they dont hold as strong as normal bricks do in an earthquake, no holes in them...

[@beardedbricky7834]

Nice dory blocks from BT Engineering! Like the work bro keep it up and keep putting the brick in the wall!! Great video!!💯🧱🇺🇸👊🤙💪👍

morgan azzopardi thanks Morgan! My brothers would say otherwise. But I like to think I’m a pretty chill boss !! They don’t know what hard work is lol. Appreciate the kind works stay healthy

[@Vasilioo7]

when you do your joining do the bedding first then using the tip of trowel cut the excess then repeat with perps and on more time over bed join try that you'll see a cleaner response

[@markdwyer100]

Buddy, you have a very good brickwork channel! He 's very helpful to me! Very high quality shooting and installation! You understand in great detail in video - aspects and nuances on brickwork in Australia - and I don 't live in Australia, but I want to immigrate and continue my brickwork career here! It is improbable! Your videos breathe me in! Continue in the same spirit!:))) I want to know about your day... How many hours a day do you work? - How many days per week (most often)? - How are things with pay (hourly and daily)? What are the salary rates at all?)

[@hendosbricklaying2003]

Oleg Belozerov Thankyou for these kind words Oleg! I am thinking of doing a video discussing these questions and topics in my recent video I will release tomorrow!! So you are a bricklayer?? Where are you from? There is plenty of work here at the moment !

[@o_l_e_z_h_a]

@@hendosbricklaying2003 Yes! I am a bricklayer! I am 18 years old. I started doing masonry seriously at 15 - as my parents and many relatives are closely associated with construction (and some of them with brickwork)! I also took special brickwork courses for 6 months. 3 years ago, when I first tried, I was interested in this job! Very much it was pleasant to me! I began to study aspects and the work itself from scratch and in various countries (including Australia). I get brick masonry easy. I get into work quickly! I have a real interest... This job motivates me! I am physically very strong and resilient - as the 6th year is already engaged in various power physical loads, so the masonry of bricks and blocks - this work is clearly for me! Buddy! And I myself from Belarus, from the city of Grodno! My native language is Russian, which I speak, but I can also speak English at the middle level so far, as I continue to study English in the process! Australia attracts me the most for life and work from all possible countries, on this there are many reasons why exactly and only Australia! In the country I live in now - futility, pay is low, conditions are not at all what I would like to have - we have a cool climate - it is really cold and raw here most of the time of the year when you really work outdoors! You can leave me your Social Networks or Email contacts... I am writing to you personally and I will send pictures of my work on the masonry work!...

[@Vasilioo7]

use a long bar for your joining your perps and bed joins only use the small hand joiner for perps not bedding

[@mikeearls126]

of all of the bricky videos i watch, i never get how every wall ends with a full ot a half brick. are walls designed that way or are you figuring it out ahead of time an using perps thatbare not 10 mm?

[@mabamabam]

Houses are meant to be designed that way. Some retardo drafters fuck things up but mostly everything from walls doors windows returns should all be in brick sizes

[@Vasilioo7]

when you coming to the end of the course and to the window make sure the brick revieal brick goes in then finish the course with the last brick buttering both sides of the brick incase you need to move a brick or more to get the perps right champ

Haha your not wrong he gets this all the time, funny story actually: One year he went to the grand final parade and was getting photos with the likes of Dane Swan and Gary Ablett when a group of guys came up to him shouting Jacky boy can we get a picture!!! I would of went on with it but he gets it that often he was sick of it !!! 🤣

[@Monsieur405]

I've noticed you sometimes don't do a full perp joint, just the face corner. How come?

[@hendosbricklaying2003]

Barney Panorama sometimes I purposely don’t fill a joint on the corner because I leave room to easily put a perp clamp in when I take a bracket off. What part of the video in particular mate? Cheers

[@Monsieur405]

@@hendosbricklaying2003 5:55 You lay a corner brick with only the face side having mortar on the perp

[@hendosbricklaying2003]

Barney Panorama ah yes I should really butter both ends. Just one of them things sometimes I forget and I just double butter the final brick in the course !!

[@MrCharlan1]

Barney Panorama you are supposed to butter both sides, but generally they don’t because it’s quicker to butter one

[@craighughescraig6096]

Good luck with the garage 🙈

[@kpathan5504]

I have a builder working on my property who has laid bricks with hardly any mortar on the sides only top and bottom and only 1mm if that on the sides. He has then chipped the brick from the front and added cement to make it look like 10mm. I have told him this isn't acceptable but he insists it is. Can i get your opinion please

[@hendosbricklaying2003]

K Pathan I am assuming you are talking about the perp which is the mortar vertical line in between the two bricks. The Australian standard is 10mm + or - 3mm tolerance so a minimum perp of 7mm and a maximum perp of 13mm. 1mm perp definitely wouldn’t be accepted by standards. Where are you located ?

[@kpathan5504]

@@hendosbricklaying2003 yes you are correct it is the vertical lines between the bricks. And I am located in the UK. I don't think that level is acceptable here either but I think the builder is taking advantage that the inspector can't come out because of the virus. Do you think I should make him rip it down and start again

[@topcatcoolio8807]

Yes 10mm in uk. Sounds like he goes home on a horse ! Is he self employed? Or does he have a boss to tell. If not take photos, and report ti trading standards.

David Burt I’m always learning.. going out to work for myself has been the biggest challenge of my life. I have some really good and really bad weeks. I make mistakes all the time and I get quite disheartened when I do. And it’s shameful if I get a call up to fix up something. I like to think I never make the same mistake twice. I guess it’s a never ending learning experience. But I wouldn’t change a thing it’s been hard but rewarding and I thank you for the kind words mate. Wish you all the best

You don’t ever put mortar on a dry board. barrel mixer for mixing mortar doesn’t even make proper mortar period. It won’t ever spec out because the mortar you mixed was chunky and not even proper. competed in the 2019 bricklayer 500 as the hod carrier and been raised around masonry all my life 2nd generation hod carrier.

[@hendosbricklaying2003]

Joshua Carey interesting. I’ve taken some notes there. Cheers Josh all the best!

[@joshua9267]

Get yourself a 4.5cu ft mortar mixer from multiquip. Brand new it’s about 2000 Dollars here in the states. This mixes faster and does the job properly, they have electric and a gas version as well. I’ve stuffed these mixers completely full with about 6 cu ft of mortar and they can handle it. Just need to get the mixer up off the ground so a wheelbarrow gets under it. My cloths stay cleaner and the job site is cleaner around the mortar mixer. One job and it has paid for itself then you are making your money back and then more because of time.

dont tap your bricks below the line because your next course will show the bedjoin to thick so be careful on the line no touching the line or you'll get a piggy in the wall champ eye on the line

[@Vasilioo7]

dot have to many people on one wall ratio is 25 bricks per person you'll see discreptensise in the small wall when you have two or more bricks on a 10 brick return don't do that try the other way and pull see a difference in your overall brickwork champ

[@Vasilioo7]

no you push the back of the brick first so then you can control the brick to the line and is flush with bottom brick try the other way champ
