NEVER QUIT! - Bricklayer Vs Wind- IzzyTheBricky Weekly ep03

[@teddysuhrensghost263]

Absolutely loving this weekly update show mate, brilliant idea. Also it’s great to see how well you’re doing and running things really smoothly, which speaks volumes for your determination and commitment to the job and to your customers. Being your own boss and running a job certainly isn’t easy and it has its moments but the satisfaction from overcoming challenges and making the customer happy is huge.

[@IzzytheBricky]

Thanks so much Tedd! It has been challenging and this week just gone has been just as hard 😭 glad your enjoying these weekly episodes! Have a fantastic weekend

@@IzzytheBricky I’m last year apprentice in the south west. 24 years old been on the hod 8 years since I was 16 and still labour through my apprenticeship. College tutor and boss are happy for me to take my epa 6months early. If it wasn’t for your page and another bricklaying page I wouldn’t have as much knowledge as I do🫡

[@brick_apprentice]

You have some serious tolerance and positivity! I would have thrown my teddy out the pram 😂some spot on tips there, really useful once again. I learn something every time!

Thanks very much Ben! Working alot recently on my mind set towards work and moving forwards! Have a good week! And yea Drew's looking good now💪 bricklaying ain't too bad either 😉

[@themagpie_1]

it was great how well you and Craig just clicked like that. as a decorator, i know its nice when you work with someone experienced enough to just fill in your gaps and you fill in theirs (if that makes sense) you don`t need to explain what your schedule of works is, they can see it.. enjoying this channel, only recently found it tbh.

[@IzzytheBricky]

Cheers mate really appreciate it! Glad you found the channel and enjoyed the video! All the best

[@mattcartwright8272]

Well done on recovering from that set back Izzy and Drew. Great to see that there are still people who will go out of their way to help others. Everybody seems to be me,me me these days. So respect due to Craig 👍 Also, Izzy you may not be aware but you are the perfect example of a Stoic. To paraphrase Marcus Aurelius 'What stands in the way, becomes the way'. If you google that you'll see how apt that full quote is to your attitude and determination.

[@IzzytheBricky]

Thanks brother, really appreciate it! And Craig is a cracking lad! I tried to force wages on him but wouldn't have it ..a true legend! And a proper grafter! Oh wow that's so much bro, over come or work with the problem not against it! Trying to change my whole outlook on work

[@Alan.92n]

Great you got back on track. Also as in several videos of last year, really like your professionalism both in your work and your positive attitude with Drew, who's come on leaps and bounds. Keep on rockin' the pair of you are a great team!

New subscriber love this content have questions about repairs on 100 year old house with similar construction techniques. Q1. Wooden beams eaten by termites on first floor original beams were part of brick walls double brick construction. Center iron load bearing support with angle iron bolted to pickup ends of joist’s 2” overhang. If you are replacing the beams do you open the brick wall through to the outside insert the replacement joist set it on the steel and then replace the outside bricks? Or is there another method for doing the same job?

Practice does not not perfect, but it can make permanent. i.e. if you practice the wrong thing, it will never become perfect, but it can be what you always achieve and become permanent.

[@jp6975]

Brilliant tips for apprentices with the plumbing and ranging. Will be using those tips when I (re)start my blockaying in May. I've seen those blue bricks used for padstones before. Why are blue bricks used instead of the big, heavy, one-piece, concrete block padstones?

[@IzzytheBricky]

Brilliant to hear you found them helpful mate! All the best

[@jonmcgill533]

Forgive my ignorance, do they have a better crushing strength especially if there solid blues . Dont mean to step on toes just interested in all things Bricklaying 🤔

[@maxxiao3617]

Hi, when you put bricks and the length of first layer is fx. 5 meters, but does not fit length of X amount of bricks how do you proceed and how do you cut it to fit??? I mean you cant do half stone then whole stone shifts right? How do you make it all come together, when length of foundation does not match the length of the bricks? Love your channel... Thanks.

[@IzzytheBricky]

Hi mate great question. All you do is make your joints in-between the bricks slightly bigger or smaller to fit the footing or length of the wall what is required

[@robinhadley]

Could see how gutted you were with the blowdown. But like you say it's happened and you gotta move on. No point just staring at it. Quote: "No problems just Solutions" 😉

[@IzzytheBricky]

That's it mate, I was, but calm and collective with a good attitude seems to be getting me in the right position 🤜🤛

[@lucimoto2922]

How long will the insulation between the walls last? In my country it is built differently, the insulation is placed on the outside of the wall and basaltic wool or extruded polystyrene is placed

[@scotthenry3401]

Unlucky, but like you said, it could have been worse. I live in a an area where the weather can be extreme, ive seen a few blow downs but thats with far stronger winds, its very common to have 35 km/ph plus here during winter it frequently exceeds 100 km/ph so lifts have to be well braced especially in winter months.

With the apprentices as well, get them to buy a small ish trowel. 9/10inch, no point them going out getting a massive trowel untill they have learned the basics.

[@ianbarker634]

Okay dokkaey

[@dazza9448]

Unfortunately props don’t really do much in high wind especially above first floor level. We’ve had entire roof trusses blow off in high wind, all braced up n’all

[@Thegdee]

Izzy, why are there some gaps in your cement course lines even after you have pointed them and cleaned them ,it's not all the time, but occasionally on the final reveal there are some places that look as though they are missing some muck, by the way I have never laid a brick in my life, I just enjoy people watching people doing their job with passion and being good at what they do...

[@IzzytheBricky]

Thanks so much mate really appreciate it

[@guidodewit5401]

We dont dont do the innerwalls with mortar annymore. We do it with a thin layer of a glue in powder with water. Its much stronger against wind. You place some steal braces with ankers and nothing will happen

Glue in powder? 😂
