Bricklaying - Building a Mansion - New apprentice

[@Jim_Newlands]

Bizarrely the thing that impressed me most about this video is that you didn't feel the need to relentlessly take the piss out of of the last guys work. Pointed out where it was wrong and just got on with sorting it, that shows massive maturity in my opinion. Looking forward to seeing how this job progresses, Izzy. 👍

[@IzzytheBricky]

Thanks very much mate glad you enjoyed the video! Listen, I think we've all done work what isn't the best. But I'm really not bothered about calling people out. Parts were/are bad, parts are good. But ALOT could be down to circumstances. I wasnt there when it was first built. So there could be very very valid reasons for some things being out and that. End of the day, were all in the same boat...most of us trying to do a half decent job 💪 Appreciate the support Jim! Plenty videos coming. Thinking about doing daily videos on this project

[@globalnomad450]

It takes an educated man to solve problems. Great job. Methodical… also a great teacher.

[@IzzytheBricky]

Thanks so much mate, really appreciate it

Izzy. You did brilliantly restoring the correct levels. If anyone can smash that job it's you. New guy ( name ?) has certainly got potential. Look forward to the next instalment 👍👍👍

You’re a hero mate top brickwork shag one of the best on KZbin 100%

[@IzzytheBricky]

Eeey cheers my guy appreciate it! Have a good weekend buddy!

[@skid7519]

I liked the part you put in training the new guy, I worked 4 years hod carrying and had to watch and teach myself everything I eventually learned. My boss was the owner of a small company and my mistake was showing more initiative than his son, the guy I was carrying for. Best thing I learned is if I'm gonna sling bricks around for a living I wasn't gonna do it for someone else.

[@IzzytheBricky]

Cheers mate, try my best to show the new lad everything I'm doing x and also at the same time show you guys what I'm doing too 👌 works well as I get to teach him and teach others on here 👌 that's it mate, best way! Glad you made it mate! Have a Great weekend

@@applejack8943 hi mate, not really, especially coming from Derby 😂

[@ldougle2018]

Didn’t realise you are from Nottingham Izzy when I was labouring,before I decided I wanted to lay the bricks not load out I cycled from wollaton to ruddington at half five to then get a lift with one of the bricklayers to Coventry a full days hard graft drive back to Rudd then cycle home to wollo that lasted for 14 months then the bricklayers got a job on the new builds opposite chilwell retail park,and I left after 16 months when that estate was finished, been a bricklayer ever since I completed levels 1,2,3 in 96,your right,the work is out there you have to be passionate enough to go after it 👍🏻

[@IzzytheBricky]

Yea mate loved there for a while! And funny you say that, my first job was in Chilwell by a big church (forgot the name of it now) Fantastic mate! We've all got a good story of how we got into the trade! That's it, gotta make it happen 💪 have a brilliant weekend! New video Monday 👌

[@moggyman6413]

When you inherit jobs there will always be issues, the only way to rectify these is to be patient, have common sense ideas and re- set out, plus you must have lots of patience, you have all the above in abundance, great vid Izzy

[@aaronhanratty6018]

Too ture

[@IzzytheBricky]

Thank you very much Moggy! When I turned up I felt very out of my depth, but tacking things slowly and double checking everything...it's definitely progressing massively now! Got 1/3 of the Brickwork up to FFL today video coming soon...ish 😂

@@aaronhanratty6018 thanks fella!

[@moggyman6413]

@@IzzytheBricky hi Izzy, I'm sure you will have looked at this but il say it anyway, as your aware setting out a building requires line and level, you are dealing with the level at the moment but make sure you check the line as previous builder may not be as accurate as you are, cheers mate and keep up the good work

[@SLAPPED13]

If I had an apprentice like that I’d be well happy! Good start

[@fenikzart]

Its really refreshing to see these experienced brick layers teach someone else, its also nice to see hes not fresh out of college, us oldies still would like to learn. ha.

Terrific comments already on here. So very enjoyable to watch and a real talent for teaching which is not so easy to do. I see nothing but success ahead and I look forward to watching more and more. Charley seems the right sort of guy. 🍺

[@IzzytheBricky]

Thanks buddy! Always nice to see you in the comment section 🤜🤛 Enjoying teaching him, however I do get tired of teaching lads the same thing over and over again 😂 but I guess that's part of taking on new lads and trying to pass on any knowledge I have!

Good on you mate, that’s never an easy task when you jump onto someone else’s work at that stage and start to discover all the little (or big) things that aren’t right. Once you’ve got it all the way you want it it will be a good job for you by the look of it 👍

Really enjoyed watching this. Work as a labourer and mainly labour for brickys and always enjoy helping them out. Always on the lookout for apprenticeships would love to be a bricky. Learning a few golden tips from your measuring out, most people think bricklaying is easy and it’s just slapping a bit of muck on a brick 😂

[@IzzytheBricky]

Thanks Zack mate, glad your enjoying the videos buddy! You can always find placement's at a local college, failing that, you can look on Facebook for labouring/apprenticeships 👌 Glad your picking up a few tips 🤜🤛 new video Monday! Have a great weekend

@@zaidhussain3658 way back in 2011 I went to college to do joinery. Did my level 3 but no one wants building qualifications. Only experience. Learnt more in the past few months as a labourer than 3 years at college

[@IzzytheBricky]

Mate, I got my NVQ 2 years ago never even used it....never even stepped foot in a college for bricklaying. I learnt everything I needed to know from others more experienced than me

[@zackhirst]
