He's back... 🤟🤟 Brilliant stuff I've missed these videos the last few months

[@Livingwaterss418]

I wish he dose more videos I love watching this guy doing brickwork

[@geoffotaylor2276]

Hi Charlie, as an expat from Colchester I was taught to lay bricks (I'm a plasterer and not a bricky, but learned simple stuff like bricking up a doorway) but anyway the geezer that taught me told me to tap the bricks with my trowel. Over here in Holland they say that tapping the brick brings the water to the top of the cement and makes for weak cement or a weak bonding, is this bullshit or is there any true in it. Thanks in advance and keep up the good work.

[@surfguy87]

Probably true to be fair. If anyone knows water, it's the bloody Dutchies.

[@jeffred6616]

For me it feels like it’s been windy most days this winter wears you down trying to make aware propping walls left right and centre just hoping there still there in the morning 😬😬

[@aaroncoughlan2749]

I like tailing out a corner with level from one side then keep adding to it so labourer can Clean behind you by time you get to other end all done and Clean. no need for loads of boards and perfect on tight gables just one stack in front the way you are facing

[@CharlieCollison]

Great way 👌

Is that iso 36 or 32? Cheers

[@taylorking4409]

What trowel is that your using ?

[@lmilne4859]

Wind the worst buddy agreed 👍🏻

[@grahamobrienverynicex9804]

Good thing with that insulation gives you a guide .charl .

[@weemanthespam]

Your body just feels beaten after a day in the wind 😂 plus the constant fear of the wall falling down 🤦‍♂️

[@markrichardson5295]

100% agree wind is a killer

[@bradbaker9856]

I never done it before but it seems laying bricks wouldn't be bad but laying them heavy blocks all day would be a pain in the azz

[@patrickobrien5367]

Love ur vlogs bk in the day 40 years ago was a hoddie use to use plasters hod for brick / muck etc how times moved on . Pleased for you remember working for a flash chunt in Woolwich giving the muck for the flank wall on a windy day . Said to the boss your building to high do a second skin he said I know best ur a labourer next day we come in the flank was blown down did I have a giggle. I only done the job for a year then went into scrap

[@martin2466]

@michaelbbb2271 I remember those days well...... Brick hod for bricks, Plasterers hod for compo. Wooden pole ladders (not tied off) Putlog scaffolds, single guard rails, no brick guards. full - bag diesel mixer with a crank handle start. Bricks delivered loose to site, No pallets, No shrink wrapping, No forklifts or tele-handlers. Two inch cavities, fuck-all insulation, Boot lintels, No tray D.P.C`s. Imperial bricks 4 to the foot. Storey rods, timber windows. Cement in 1 CWT bags Hessian based D.P.C`s............and on....

[@benllewellyn1887]

​@martin2466 😂😂😂 the good old days.

[@martin2466]

@@benllewellyn1887 Not sure about the good old days it was a hard physical slog. There was always good money to be made, if you were a grafter and just got on with it. I did my time on the hod and thereafter nearly half a century on the blade. I earned well, and built the house we now live in - and had a few good years as well £££ I`m old and retired now - and fcuking loving it. 😁👍👍👍👍

Young lad missed a golden opportunity when you called for more insulation after telling him he should have had it round himself already haha
