I lost ALL my workers... | BRICKLAYING AUSTRALIA

[@df289]

You have winner written all over you. Great attitude, great vibe. You,ll be fine, life is like a roller coaster, especially in your 20s.

[@sydneyhitter5530]

success is never linear but mate you really have done a lot for 23/24 year old, you lead a crew of guys, ran and still run a business paying a salary to employees, which some never achieve in a life time. Good on you mate, all the best, you're very driven and have no doubt you will find opportunity and success.

[@allananderson949]

It's pretty easy to start out for yourself in bricklaying. If you can get a mate to partner with you, all you need to do is hire a labourer

[@PauloSienna]

I think you’ll enjoy the lone wolf gig more this time around. You have an awesome attitude, and great skills. You’ll never lose. Very proud of you mate

[@paulmoscisker796]

Just did the same thing this year. I own a masonry company and I’m out running solo, love it. Keep putting them in,

[@deanamends1278]

Chariot they called in England, what you use to rake the mortar back

[@rudo747]

Done it most of my working career and still going ,gives you more scope to pick and choose in lean times as well 👍

[@MC-br2zq]

Great to see you doing some different projects Ty, I've said it before and I'll say it again you don't make any money working for volume builders. Work off a per hour or day rate so you're not destorying your body trying to lay "x" amount of bricks per day to make a living. There's alot of work out there if you want it. All the best

[@tdthomas1]

Better working that way or having 1 good apprentice/labourer with you. All the best Ty!

[@jarrodmills7417]

U have a good open mind mate i bet the hardships of bricklaying taught u that!

[@aussie8114]

Worked for myself by myself for many years and would have had it no other way. There’s times when a extra hand is useful but you manage. It’s good to try to expand your skill set if you have an aptitude for the other trades. Being a multi skilled tradesman opens you up to a greater amount of work and variation. A mix of indoor and outdoor jobs. Painting, plaster repairs, carpentry, tiling. Not all tradies seem to have that aptitude or interest but I can say that it is very beneficial to be able to diversify. Word of mouth is good for getting work as a brickie but you rarely get repeat work, most people only need the services of a brickie once in 20 years, but as a multi skilled tradesman you end up with both referral and plenty of repeat work.

[@Lighthouseprankster]

Great advice !

[@maxpower1797]

Your doing fine bud, always good to have some down time, can you do a video short if your mud board stands, how they are designed cheers😊

[@sebastianzea8245]

Keep up the great work Ty, managing a business is not easy, there’s some hard days but nothing you can’t go through

[@tlgf7638]

I’ve been there many times mate. It’s all about attitude and being adaptable.

[@leebowen8364]

why didnt you build the two end ones and then use a line for the rest?

[@HarryFromTheNorthSide]

Keep doing you brother.i just opened my own construction business last year and its hard.❤❤❤

[@jackturnermx6176]

It’s a bit slow at the minute where I am in the uk a lot of lads have been sat at home, thankfully I’m keeping busy though

[@Recksz]

this looks more fun and rewarding than doing exterior walls of homes!

[@takeuchi0167]

..as long as your laying bricks your going forward …a private clientele is a good thing …good work leads to referrals…and they pay on completion….where as builders/developers………….

[@goldentrowel1968]

Good stuff Ty

[@BricklayerDreDOTA]

have you considered working fifo since you're solo now? my work mate did FIFO blocklaying in northern territory for $3500 a week (around 60-70 hours) hard yakka though

[@damianmartinez1869]

Dang TY, sorry you lost your workers, if I was living there, I’d be working with ya bud. I’ve got 20 years of experience in the trade.

[@jeffedwards5028]

You're doing well Ty. Well done and have a great day

[@simonstone3336]

Great work mate 👍

[@jason-ne3bt]

hey ty just wondering how you go about matching the colour of the mortor for a job thats already there, from an untrained eye the house looks almost grey but looks like you used the more yellow sand? does the cement change it that much?

[@avonneave2131]

You're doing great mate, if you were within a coowee I'd be looking you up for a job. Merry Christmas and have a great New Year, all the best regards from here on the West Coast side of Australia 🌏 Batavia Coast 🙏🖖🤟🇦🇺🐨👽

[@joelopresti545]

how did you build that wall without a string line?

[@philinn4788]

slowing down because its Christmas mate, here in south australia the workload is increasing.

[@PointlessExistence.]

I wish to apply as an apprentice to you mate. I live in Melton South.

[@RaymondMoore-c4g]

Seems a decent channel so I subbed,

[@allananderson949]

Must be cold if you can lay that much mud without it going off

[@jimmytolland6489]

Keep it up king 👑

[@robertevans9897]

Your a good brickie but u should make more use of profiles and line but good stuff I'm 62 been laying almost all my life it's a tough life

[@MrLrs2]

I think half a Melbourne has moved to Queensland

They’ll move back once they’re washed out ☔️

@@aussie8114 yeah because Melbourne has such great weather 🥴

[@aussie8114]

[@TTV-blit]

Find it strange how Australia sounds exactly like England in building terms , interests rates , mortgages etc ! Why’s it happening at other end of the world as well ? Englands slowed down massively bricklaying terms but every other job are getting pay rises

[@cheds1]

They’re devaluing your currency. The fiat system has only lasts a certain duration.till the system is overladen with credit. as its usuary and the system relies on credit. When this occurs a reset of currencies has to happen. They go to war during these resets to cover for the financial system collapse. Thing s will be going downhill fast.

[@2l8mate59]

Everything ebbs and flows throughout history. Rates, mortgages, etc. are all interconnected around the world. It'll rebound in a few years' time. A couple of hard years ahead, then it should ease off. The two wars should be finished by then. There may be a third one in the near future which could create further heart ache or be the catalyst to a two currency system. BRICS backed currency taking on the petro dollar. But, unfortunately this is what the greedy fat cats at the top want, so their revenue streams stay fat and healthy. Interesting times ahead.

[@humble_frog]

every industry is slowing down a bit, building just one of the first to get hit because it relies on fresh credit flows (mortgages)

[@dannnyw111]

give us a job, uk bricklayers drying up over here atm

[@danfenton89]

Just come across your channel mate from anthor bricklayer to anthor you look ljke a really good trowel you no wat you talking b working for your self is good no one telling you wat to do also if you get dead busy again u just get anthor bricklayer in qnd labour to keep up the good videos and top work 🧱👌

[@andycampbell7086]

Stay in touch if you need a casual labourer.... Would love to learn from you Bro 💯✌️💪

[@stonesmasher8369]

How much work you got lined up bud

[@gpet23]

Get in with a few good inner city domestic builders doing architectural work. You’ll have work for life and you’ll end up being a top tradie. You’ve done amazingly well so far. These bumps and stresses will toughen you up mate. In short, get off the new estate stuff, you’ll never look back.

[@TTV-blit]

You had them mortar stands made pal ? Look decent

[@Joe-jv5mm]

Hard being self employed, when sun shining make hay, when the drought comes around cut the fat and push on, Hart breaking training up lads, and letting them go, every day a school day, learn from your set backs, time will make you a wiser man 🖖

[@mariocondello2353]

Get out of the building game, we're heading into an economic global depression, probably lasting 13-15 years.

[@matthewallen5423]

If that's the case, there's no game to get into. Only politicians and bankers will be safe.

dont worry about it mate. life is like a s##t sandwich , you got to eat some of the s##t to have some of the bread.

[@Ash-ww3di]

Hey mate if you need a brickie you can hit me up

[@dragginmedown]

It happens mate comes and goes. Just do singles and get another apprentice if possible

[@davet4288]

Im just going to be frank with you TY No apprentice would stay if you make them work till 6pm on shitty apprentice wages NO APPRENTICE If you cant turn over profit while paying apprentice wages where you have to make then work ot Your doing something wrong Sometimes you need to see where youve made mistakes

[@geneshepherd2962]

Do it yourself mate. If you employ someone they'll do a crap job.
