Lovely work. I’ve been a Bricky for over 30 years and it’s fantastic to see another Bricky taking pride in their work. Well done 👍

You are a exceptional bricklayer who explains the craft so as for it to be understood in layman’s terms. I strongly agree with your work effects as to laying with precision,as if every job you undertake would be as you were working on your own house. Pride in our trade is now unfortunately becoming a thing of the past, You have to take pride in your work and yourself the other aspects of life is sure to follow. Keep up showing your knowledge on the videos, I’m sure there’s a vast well of information yet to be revealed. From a 63 year old brickie who is still working.May God Bless you all. Pete

Morning guys ... perhaps I didn’t explain correctly .. the quoins are 440mm details , so you can not reverse the floating bat , I started the face side 2 stretches so return will be bat stretcher bat . Coursing and bonding can not be changed because either way the face or side of the building will have a floating bat . The camera only reveals the side where I chose to have the bats , on the main face is stretchers . I’ll post a pic later of the face side 👌 Hope I’ve explained Have a great weekend

Your work speaks volumes, if everyone worked to your level there would never be an unhappy customer. I have never laid a brick but I know how to use a level and seeing the other brickys work clearly shows he couldn’t. Hard not to sound negative when pointing out others short comings however you did it professionally and I saw it as positive to help that other guy.

I was taught to pull the edge of my trowel along the joint and up the perp as it ensures a cleaner finish. Not knocking you mate as your method appears to suit you fine. I do think it's a bad habit though, just like hitting your level LOL :)

Excellent work once again, for a second I thought your brickwork was running high to the blockwork on the right hand side quoin but the beds on the brickwork looked spot on also the blockwork looked descent.

Hi, looks a difficult job , I know the brick dimensions are probably all over the place, makes the joints drift sometimes. Anyway looks a good job in the making. Please excuse my ignorance, why are you alternating the direction of the pointing on the Quinn from downwards to upwards ?? Cheers.
