How to build brick reveals and keep the perps plumb.

[@jc8023]

Really enjoy your videos. It's obvious you've so much more real-life experience than some of the other bricky channels. You're not focusing on mass production, and take pride in your work. Some great humour and tips and tricks that keep your videos really enjoyable.

[@bricklayersworldwithandy6277]

Thanks mate 👍

[@jc8023]

There's an honesty about your videos that's refreshing. You don't try to compete with anyone.

Shocked you still use hod carriers, we phased them out 40 years ago

[@bricklayersworldwithandy6277]

It comes in handy sometimes, youngsters nowadays are to scared to pick one up, I take it you are Australian.

(Tip if your bothered)I always keep the insulation about 30mm back from the reveal cavity closers don't spring out Enjoy your ciders Andy 🍻

[@bricklayersworldwithandy6277]

Always do mate 👍

Standard

[@harveysmith100]

The double nail trick is genius! I nearly chocked on a Werther's Original when you showed that one. I was told by one young foreman that we don't have time to plumb up the perps. He then spent the next half an hour smashing the last brick of each course in with a brick hammer. You couldn't make it up.

[@bricklayersworldwithandy6277]

I know mate 👍

Good work

[@deanskillings7156]

One thing I've noticed about bricklaying is mark where your going not where you have come from

[@joefowler9600]

Really enjoy these tips and tricks mate. You can tell you've been there and seen it all with brickwork, and it's good that your willing to pass it on to the next generation 👏👏

Cavity closers I put a piece of Dpc to outside of bkw then a piece of 30 mm celotex (cut off 8x4 sheet ) and then return the blocks in the old style a lot stronger for me all my jobs are private work you can then move the damp and tuck it in between window and reveal or up to the plaster board on your dot and dab 62 year old bricklayer .....

[@bricklayersworldwithandy6277]

Yea I've done it like that, much cheaper way 👍

I remember the L shape blocks for sealing the reveals when I first started working with my dad in the 80s

[@Southpoint2019]

Sounds like what my dad would say My favourite was asking dad how to get out of this situation and he would always say “reverse the bond”

I’m currently using reclaims that vary 30mm in length and 10mm in height, ballache but you have to get on with it! Too many bricklayers would just moan and give up

When I was an apprentice 87 or 88 we did a house which back then was £330 k . It was beautiful with a lot of internal face work . We each had a t square and ha to run a course then mark every perp for the next , took forever but it had perps like an arrow 👌🏼🧱👍🏼

Birches had to do that back in the day,my old college teacher had to do that when he worked at birches
