Quality compo mix from Drew

[@IzzytheBricky]

Always

[@mrst4946]

Hey Izzy and Drew! I don't know how I found your channel but I'm loving it. My Dad was a bricky. He left school at 15 and was an apprentice... Worked in the trade til he died just under two years ago at 60 (fuck cancer!) But Ive loved watching your channel because I can see my Dad's perfectionist mentality, and I can also see how much more goes.into it than 'just laying bricks'. I remember as a kid going to see the houses my Dad had built, some were pieces of art. I wish I had actually told him how proud I was of having him as a dad. He was amazing at what he did and he was a grafter. He did move into his own contracting business as he got older and I can see why you wouldn't want the stress Isaac! He was never 'off' work but he worked hard and earnt well. Keep up the great work and videos ❤

[@heathclitheroe9955]

I take my kids round all bigger builds I've done now and was lucky ( or daft enough) to put an H in gable end pikes .

[@IzzytheBricky]

Hi mate, thanks so much for watching the videos and enjoying the channel! Really sorry to hear about your dad! But great to know that what he built still stands to this day 🥹 Thanks so much, all the best and there's a new video out tomorrow 🙂

[@hiimawasteoftime8678]

Well done, Izzy. A masterclass in work ethic/attention to detail! Bet Drew was glad to see the end of those bricks! Yes! Yes! Yes! Another great week's work, particularly on the lintels, also did well getting that window out! 👍

[@TrueJaguarPaw]

Nice one Izzy. I’ve always loved your attention to detail, like putting the lintels in the right place!🤣

[@IzzytheBricky]

😂😂😂😂 good ain't I 😂

[@brickrightbuildinglandscaping]

Every time i watch a video it just gets better mate .love the content great bit of radio aswell. Brilliant mate great channel. Good luck to you 👍❤🧱🧱🧱

[@mattcartwright8272]

Great attitude to all those challenges Izzy. These recent builds have thrown up a lot of head scratchers but each one is more experience in the bank - both figuratively and literally. You make your own luck as they say I can now see the breaks starting to come for you. Well deserved!

[@IzzytheBricky]

Thanks so much Matt, really appreciate it as always brother! Like a head scratch occasionally 😂 new video out tomorrow brother

[@jonhippey577]

Both doing amazing work keep up the great content boys always look forward to your vlogs

[@IzzytheBricky]

Thanks so much mate appreciate it! New one out tomorrow

[@keithronson2624]

Izzy...Isaac...where to begin? Incredible! Like a masterclass every video. Drew too, although i am late to the channel it is obvious how skilled you have become. And a proper grafter! Cleaning bricks! Izzy,, you are a natural in front of the camera and indeed on the microphone. Something tells me a position in mainstream media beckons. Oh and quite a fade! Oh i am curious how you 'found' Drew and interview and how you 'just knew' Drew would be the perfect apprentice. Thanks guys, loving the channel!

[@IzzytheBricky]

Thanks so so much Keith! So pleased you've found the channel and have been enjoying the videos! I worked with Drew's uncle for years and that's how I got introduced to Drew💪 I got him working with me on one job, and he wanted to join me full time 💪

[@kaidax_]

Let's go bro! It's not a Monday till Izzy uploads!

[@IzzytheBricky]

Yeaa boiii, appreciate it brother!!!💪

[@bricklayersworldwithandy6277]

You were on my Manor, i could have fixed your radio 🤣👍

[@jasonmart1081]

Another great video and top work from you both 👌 That end gable supporting the steel looks suspect, I hope a structural engineer assessed it and came up with how the steel is supported.

[@IzzytheBricky]

Thanks so much Jason, the bloke who brought the house is a structural engineer....I'll leave it at that 😂🤔

[@topcatcoolio8807]

Nice one mate. Hope you enjoy a guiness on Friday, with Drew 😂or lager

[@IzzytheBricky]

Thanks so much mate, really appreciate it very much as always ☺️☺️💪 hope you are well

[@ryanwalden123]

Top video again pal

[@IzzytheBricky]

Cheers mate appreciate it, new video out tomorrow

[@gwarski]

As a complete layman I am positive I could have done a better job then the cow boy job you arrived at. So satisfying to see the finished product. That is quality brick work, and as a layman the thing that also blows my mind is the speed you can lay it at

[@IzzytheBricky]

Cheers brother really appreciate it

[@troyboy4345]

Mint job !

[@IzzytheBricky]

Thanks buddy, new video out later on tomorrow

[@edjarvis5405]

[@leeedwards9994]

great job izzy ....

[@IzzytheBricky]

Thanks so much mate, greatly appreciated it

[@CCCP16]

There SHOULD be a LARGE air space gap in-between the face of the insulation and the OUTER walls inside the cavity ; this ALSO includes an air space gap in-between the face of the insulation batt and the cavity-wall-tie drip point(which is in the centre of the cavity pointing downwards). Cavity wall-ties are laid with a slight downwards slope across the LEVEL mortar joints from the inner to the outer walls. With the cavity-wall being bridged with insulation (insulation touching the outer walls), moisture will transmit from the damp outer wall through the bridging insulation into the inner wall ! Ask City & Guilds N.V.Q. BRICKWORK teachers for proof.

[@dbank6107]

260mm cavity! could sleep in that :}}

[@Nika_Scott]

Do you have a masonry saw on site with you for all the brick cutting? On site linisher to quickly clean up each brick maybe I'd try. I'm a cnc machinist not a bricklayer so I don't know how its done. Looking to get into this trade as I'm at a stop gap between jobs. Great content I've binge watched your videos ❤

[@johnshepard6682]

Hopefully you can team up with the traditional bricklayer in the future.

[@IzzytheBricky]

Cheers mate, seeing him soon actually 🙂

[@zulfqarali905]

Hi Izzy hope you are well 😂keep it up you are doing a great job and having fun making some brilliant videos superstar Ali Walsall west midlands england junction 10 m6 Walsall keep it up you

[@IzzytheBricky]

Cheers brother, really appreciate it! Glad to hear your enjoying the videos 🙂 have a great week! NEW video out later on tomorrow

[@eddladio8096]

Cleaning them bricks is the type of job your gaffer expects to take no time and ends up twisting till you tell him to have a go😂

[@IzzytheBricky]

Mate it's just takes so long! New video out tomorrow... featuring lots more brick cleaning 😂😂

[@paulconnor2261]

Great job and not edit on a little mistake good on ya

[@IzzytheBricky]

Cheers Paul, really appreciate it🙂 we all make them..it's no big deal buddy! All the best for this week, new video out tomorrow

[@davejohnston5158]

Years ago I was on a job and the client got his 3 kids and got them to clean up the old bricks and paid them great pocket money to do the job. Theyd call it slave labour these days. How to go on with 73mm bricks trying to co-ordinate bed joints with standard blocks and keeping the ties level?

[@IzzytheBricky]

Hiya mate I sent up the blockwork first and kept ties usually 225 and 450, and just made the ties work with bricks 🙂 if your gonna bend ties, bend them down. All the best and new video out tomorrow 💪

[@nigelsmith1198]

Looks like the whole place could with re/pointing.!?!?

[@IzzytheBricky]

I've put a price on for it

[@sambrooks5231]

What’s your best tip for not leaning bricks forwards when you lay the last few high courses

[@IzzytheBricky]

Hiya mate, it's just practice, if anything I try and lean them back. As it's so common for them to come forward when laying high, it makes up for it

[@royhorn9412]

So new BR are no cavity at all - fully insulated. I’d prefer a 50mm air gap.

[@Southpoint2019]

Pre-war commons

[@gdr88]

good work, at 4:38 why is there insulation missing at the bottom?

[@Loveandlight-9143]

I am doing a brick extension and the bricks are higher than guage. But I will have to follow this other wise I will have a cut under the window. I'm just seeing your thoughts on this? Thanks

[@IzzytheBricky]

Hi mate, yes follow what's there to make it work under the window. You can always measure from the windowcill down to DPC and work out how many bricks go into it. You may have to increase your bed joint...or perhaps make it thinner to work

[@ElectronBasket]

Why frog down Izzy?

[@IzzytheBricky]

Great question! These bricks have 2 frogs

[@Jonathan-mk1ju]

The back corners of that scaffold are a mess.

[@IzzytheBricky]

Wait till you see tomorrows video.. scaffolding failed 😂😂

Hi mate 7" marshalltown tile setter trowel mate ☺️

[@cameronhesling6189]

Where you based mate?

[@295walk]

Are the lintels designed to flex if required with a certain allowance? In the long term sense of things ?

[@IzzytheBricky]

Actually couldn't tell you, but they are a bugger for flexing and deforming

[@grahamb1]

Hi Izzy, what adhesive did you use to glue the brick slips to the pad stone?

[@CraveThatCoin]

looks like ct1

[@IzzytheBricky]

Hiya mate..I actually don't know, but I'll find out for you soon! All the best
