[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

leedsutd3413 Absolutely ! 😂🧱👍🏼

[@brando6BL]

If I miss anything after retiring, it's the steady rhythm of the bricky's day. Your clearing off the site and on to whatever's next was enough indication of your skills. Leaving it tidy for the next man is always the best way. Good practice, good movie.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

brando6BL . Thanks very much mate , we like to keep the job tidy . Thanks for watching and commenting m your very kind 👍🏼

[@bobbuilder81]

Proper bricklayers , that’s some strength one handed concrete blocks off that stack of bricks , grip like a gorilla 👍🏻

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Bob Builder Thanks pal we hate those blocks ! They are killers . We build the garages out of them but flat which is much easier 👍🏼

[@lmilne4859]

The concretes. A proper block. Lol

[@jhutch7104]

Love it

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

J Hutch Thanks pal glad you like it 👍🏼

[@raymondwilkinson5048]

Very good brickies and a very tidy job, but what about "pointing up" the bricks afterwards ? The bricks are obviously going to be seen, otherwise blocks would have been used.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Raymond Wilkinson . Yes pal as they are engineering bricks they can almost be left all day before we joint them , well spotted though I never realised we haven’t included footage of Alex joining up . Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏼

[@danoking69]

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

David Burt 😂😂😂

[@itsmewayne428]

Nice work..:)

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Wayne Bailey . Thanks Wayne 👍🏼

[@daiburt1833]

What's a mason tender ? Is it one of those little wooden mallets you hit him with before you put him in the George foreman ?

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

David Burt . Lol 😂🤣😂 love it

[@justycrusty]

Well done boys. Someone showing proper site work on a price for a change

No probs, good to see a high standard of work when on a price, love the vids

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Brendan Mcgivern Cheers pal 🧱👍🏽

[@Carl-yu6uw]

A question from a novice if you please...when laying to the line using profiles, is there no need to plumb, level or range or is that just when you are learning to feel them down and building corners etc?

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Carl Hi pal once that profile is set your good for about 24 courses if you want . All you need to do is gauge your line every course . Some brickies even mark the gauge onto their profiles. Thanks for the question and for watching 👍🏼

[@Carl-yu6uw]

@@SteveAndAlexBuild Thanks Steve. They are worth their weight then!

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Carl ABSOLUTELY! had mine 30 years , they are the best thing I have ever bought without a doubt . Once you have a 3 course corner built the day before you start ( 6 brick ) that’s it , no more corners you just keep raising them up when you need to 👍🏼👌🏼 Have you seen our video on how to set them up ?

[@Carl-yu6uw]

@@SteveAndAlexBuild Great stuff. Will have a watch of that one too..Cheers again.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Carl . Nice one 👍🏼

[@death3719]

Iv been laying bricks for 10+ years on private jobs. Site work seems a whole different game. How can I go about joining a gang? I’m thinking of starting in the footings till I’m upto speed else or until I build confidence. Following your vids 👍

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Death Glad you like our videos . There is no specific way to get on site . We just landed lucky by being recommend by somebody I knew . Watch our next few vids before you jump into the footings 🙄it ain’t fun in winter 🥶🧱👍🏽 Thanks for watching and commenting pal

[@user-to2pf8rb5m]

Do you load yourself out with bricks and muck or do you use hoddies? or should I say labourers now as proper hod carriers are a thing of the past!

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Boxing Fisherman Hi pal it’s just us 2 . We do our own loading out . The firm we work for have forks for the excavators which means most of the time the materials get put right in the middle of the plots . They will also move our mortar tub with 2 big mixes in anywhere we want it . Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏼

[@hotpoker4212]

Where does damp course go,?

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

minecraft king . It’s a foundation pal . Top of the reds is dpc and floor level 🧱👍🏽

[@toddsjaws]

In the shoe makers shop the tapping never stops. Tap tap tap

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

toddsjaws todd everybody is different as long as it’s neat when it’s done who cares

[@captaincaveman5153]

toddsjaws todd who'd the fuck are you, wind your neck in cowboy.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

david jones . Thanks for watching and subscribing 👍🏼

[@seankirby2580]

Why don't the perps line-up properly on the blocks? I thought you'd separate them to be half-way across the course underneath, but these are all over the place.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

You will never get perfect bond from trench block to 100 mm block to brick , we try and bond as best we can . As long as you have a minimum of quarter bond. Thanks for watching and commenting 🧱👍🏼

[@toddsjaws]

As long as The outcome is the same. Also why don’t you have a mason tender.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

toddsjaws todd . Sorry pal never heard of a mason tender , what is that ?

[@maxinelarkine2295]

Cowboy style perpining them that way boys

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Maxine Larkine sorry don’t know what you mean but thanks for watching and commenting though 👍🏼

[@MrJasonspratt]

what make of profile are you using ?

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

jason peter spratt . Hi Jason thanks for the comment and sub . Our profiles are original Blake’s profiles . I bought them when I was an apprentice nearly 30 years ago ! They have never let me down

[@toddsjaws]

Hey the work looks good. There no need to tap and scrape that much on your brick

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

toddsjaws todd . True we do tap too much , I spread a bit too much to make sure there is enough mortar for the perps so end up with a few extra taps . Thanks for watching and commenting by the way 👍🏼

[@jimmycahill1347]

Which house builder is this?

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

jimmy Cahill . Wain homes mate 👍🏼 Thanks for watching and commenting

[@jimmycahill1347]

[@leesy2355]

Do you get a good salary

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Lochlan Leese . As with all price work the more you do the more you earn . We are actually paid less on foundations than the lads building the main house . Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏼

[@toddsjaws]

Blaze yellow vest with basketball pants on. Come to stl and see what real masonry looks like

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

toddsjaws todd never heard of basketball pants ? And where is Stl ?

[@mightymonty4549]

Jointing from the bed not great your not getting a full joint

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Paul Montgomery thanks for watching pal 👍🏼

[@Ripper36068]

My gripe too; not buttering the perp properly! otherwise nice and neat!

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Ripper36068 🧱👍🏽

[@toddsjaws]

Can’t lay brick backwards umm....lots of wasted moves

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

toddsjaws todd why go backwards when it’s quicker going forwards ?

[@toddsjaws]

Not really. Spread to your poll then walk back to the middle

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

toddsjaws todd . Agreed , but each to their own technique I suppose . I’ve seen some really weird ways of working knocking about on you tube 👍🏼
