Good to see someone learning something new, helping out gives you a sense of ownership on the project. 👊🏽

[@markmoughton-kh7xn]

Jimbo on the hod. He’s been asleep since he got home 😂

[@steveowens7006]

Been on the trowel 30 years , was on the hod before that , I used to love up and down the ladder all day long.

[@markadler8968]

I used to watch the competitions they used to have for hoddies back in the day. These guys were absolutely huge and would load ridiculous amounts of bricks on their hods and carry them.

[@dylanmorgan2752]

Probably gives literal meaning to built like a brick shithouse

[@supahasa]

...p45 for you hector ...swimmin',scran n' chasin' ducks not gonna cut it in this game ...are big muck hods still a thing charlie ...???used to love it when the water would flow over the edge on a cold woindy day halfway up a ladder and straight down the back of the shirt ...made a man of me ...great things once you got the hang of them ...

[@robertbarton4776]

Good to see your hoddy is a member of the Red Knights MC.

[@scoyle1750]

Wheelbarrow for that job lad

[@andrewcraft1744]

Glad to see someone else tell their dog "thank you" after doing what it told.

[@davebloke829]

Love that dog!

[@patrickobrien5367]

Good evening charley hope he better at put out 🔥 📛 👨‍🚒 🚒 🧯 😮😂😂😂😂😂😂now that the way to do it 😮😅😅😅ok have a great day 😀

[@bigmike9758]

Love it, love a hod, but clamps are faster and easier 😁 haha love it

[@bazwax77]

Doggo livin it’s best life! 👏🏻💪🏻

[@BluntedBaboon]

Couple of brick tongs are way nicer than using that thing IMO. Can grab a row of 8-10 bricks in each hand, no loading.

[@bigears4014]

Look at the brick carriers from australia far easier to use and up to 8 a side , and they are adjustable as well. You could pick the bricks from the stack

[@lmilne4859]

Brilliant away for a swim 🏊 go on. 😂

[@jasonveale8560]

Unless on a private job without a forklift ( hods are useless ) Grabs,sack trucks or a wheelbarrow are quicker ! If a dead start ( 1 stacking 12’s for everyone else on a loading bay to clear a quick 3 packs is more efficient as well ! Hods were good before my time, I’ve been on the trowel for 35 years !

[@2bsure407]

ex hoddy made the right move....bet he laughing now with his nice pension

[@GlennRooney-yh6sv]

Was gonna ask you about hector last wk as he’s not been in any vids the last while

[@aaronhounsome8954]

Ya can get about 5 hods in a barra, why don't ya just walk em over in a barrow rather than watch the ex fireman painfully carry the Hod lol😂😂all jokes side.. It takes few goes to get used to it tbf tell Sam to get bk in his fire engine 🔥🔥😂😂😂

[@22BERT]

Easy in a barrow but look the state of that ground it be harder to push would be easier on the how

[@22BERT]

Hod**

[@jeremyfoster6942]

Hod over barrow anyday, stack them in the barrow, stack them out, too much handling, hare and tortoise

[@davenoble7350]

What’s the most bricks you can carry in a HOD?

[@jeremyfoster6942]

Usually 12

[@itchyballsack6627]

@jeremyfoster6942 I've seen make shift hods where nutters carry 24 bricks at a time. The guys carrying them were absolutely massive though...🤣

[@rossnolan2883]

😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@jasonputtock4428]

How much is a pallet of bricks.?? I dont live in England.

[@davebloke829]

It depends on what brick you want, the prices very quite a bit

[@jeremyfoster6942]

Something that looks reasonable, £700-800 per thousand,

[@jasonputtock4428]

Bloody hell. Each brick would cost less than a £..@@jeremyfoster6942

[@jimcameron4672]

Hod is just a little bit too short

[@ryanSLF]

Wheel barrow is more efficient

[@markmoughton-kh7xn]

Not when most of the ground is a bog

[@jeremyfoster6942]

You just going to tip them out on the ground? You only stack them once with the hod.

[@bryanwalkerCT7729]

Brilliant ❤❤❤ More and more evidence for #PetsIntoMentalHealthServices 🥰 🥰 🥰 Including robotic and digital pet's Brilliant ❤❤❤

[@richardstetson8221]

I would have tried the wheelbarrow first we don't use hods in America anyway we use brick tongs

[@jeremyfoster6942]

How many bricks in tongs?

[@richardstetson8221]

@jeremyfoster6942 they are adjustable but we usually make it fit 10 and we carry 2 if it more than a few steps from the pallet

[@jeremyfoster6942]

@@richardstetson8221 ah about the same as a hod then, I carried a hod for years, once you got the technique it's really well balanced, seen a few guys using tongs but they were only carrying 6, seemed hard on the arms to me, I guess it's what you get used to

[@leighclarke2139]

1st

[@itchyballsack6627]

When I was a hoddy I preferred to stack 12 bricks on top of one brick, stick my shoulder on top of the pile and swing them up. Each to their own. Being a hoddy will destroy your discs in your back though...

[@taylormccarthy1179]

That’s fine on footings but the hod makes things so much quicker if the man was told properly considering the shoulder he was putting it on when pulling it of the shoulder the staff needs to come across the body and stack 2 bricks to the left as your first bricks that way a right handed person had more control coming of the shoulder with it
