Iv been laying bricks 30 years so I'm an old fart 😅, trust me you are doing the right thing I remember the days like you that I just loved laying Bricks, wanted to be the fastest and neatest. Non of us want to take the responsibility of supervisor but If you are good at what you do it just happens. I'm now running massive multi million pound jobs in London and have been for 10 years with one of the biggest brickwork contractors out there. It's hard and I don't lay Bricks but I'm passing my knowledge to other people which is good. I'd love to be house building it's such an simple process and the buzz of a small gang working and having the craic is fantastic. Good luck mate and keep up the good content as it's so different from what I do and it reminds me of the good old days. 👍

Great Vid Izzy. I run my own business (Gen Builder) its a major step up from just laying, but being in control has its benefits, its not easy, its time consuming but when you get customers loving what you've built its very satisfying. You have proved yourself to be more than capable of doing the Foremans job, rectifying poor brickwork and levels when 1st on site, your organised and have a great work ethic. Your a credit to the industry. Take the challenge and run with it, the experience will be worth it.

As you grow buddy maybe think, as I did, which again is more money, but worth it, employ a good QS, the time and agro that saves is well worth it. Keep it neat, fast and plumb which is all I see at the minute, so well done buddy. Maybe time to think of getting your own wheelbarrow scaffold fixed hoist, again well worth the money, and a very good forward looking health thought to save a lot of lumping and leg work.

It's great to see the way you are bringing on your Apprentice, active instruction and encouragement. (No need to tear someone a second arseole) I was a Shipwright Apprentice back in the 60s, and I must have been very lucky. Because in all of my 5 years of that Apprenticeship, I was trained by many skilled men and not one of them had a go at me for making a mistake. (And believe me, I made some beauties!) We had some great laughs. Anyway, I digress. I've now subscribed and I'm looking forward to enjoying more of your uploads!

I'm not in the industry. I left school and went into an apprenticeship was bullied gave up the trade. Was nailed to the walls, had expanding foam in my hair and had the p**s taken out of me. You're really good mentor for the apprentice's. I now run my company in a completely different industry. Has inspired me to take on a T level work experience. I'm crazy busy, so just trying to workout if I can afford the time they deserve. Love the videos 😎👍

Yet another awesome video. Useful tips but also some behind the scenes and what it involves to take responsibility. I actually started my brick apprenticeship because I have had a lot of stress, management and responsibility previously and I just want an easier life and to enjoy the bricks! I got offered trainee site manager a couple of weeks back and I turned it down, to their absolute shock! Good to get your honesty and I would say with 100% certainty that you are up for the task on this one! Keep it up! Jen 💥

Hiya Jen! Glad you enjoyed the video and found some parts quite helpful ☺️ next video I go over soldier course really simply! Sometimes it's best to do what makes you happy, rather than deal with constant stress and pressure, so fair play to you! Have a great week!
