I used to be just like you every day was a challenge to see how much I could do, then when I got to 60 my back went, I have had back surgery but never been able to go back to the building trade which I really miss, this is not a sob story or a lecture I’m just trying to say take care, when you are young we all believe that we are indestructible but it can soon go wrong, take care mate great you tube channel.

Thanks mate appreciate the advice 😊 hope your keeping well and enjoying the sun

Izzy, if trading standards catch that van, they will have it for being overloaded by the look of it. Could even prohibit the van from moving until the weight is reduced and a big fine to match. Not worth overloading it mate. Keep up the good work.

Ever heard the saying everyone could be a busy fool if u have to rush and work late on privates there priced wrong..

[@Benzknees]

Is there any reason why the trench wasn't filled to a higher level, rather than use trench blocks? It'd surely be quicker & cheaper.

[@markmorgan6231]

Wd40 and a sponge to polish them blues up 🤌👌

[@englishrifleman6556]

Whats the purpose of those trench blocks? they look much slower to lay than 2 leafs of convention concrete blocks??

[@IzzytheBricky]

They allow you to set out the cavity at the same time as the face. So you can just plumb up from the face of it, for face work. And the back of it, for internal blocks

[@englishrifleman6556]

@@IzzytheBricky Thanks, That makes more sence, i get it now.. Also i see you run all bricks out dry, How is it you never seem to end up with a half brick? is this all about the size on the drawing? or is this something you plan when putting down your first trench blocks? Glad your happy in this new venture, i do enjoy your videos, You are very Inspiring, Keep up the excellent work.

[@IzzytheBricky]

@@englishrifleman6556 so we run out bricks to avoid the half brick in the middle. Start at one end, running full bricks all the way. Sometimes measurements don't work to our brick sizes. This is when we either open up the perp joints, or tighten them up. This allows us to make sure we have no half's

[@deet1558]

I remember having to use 4 by 12 closer concrete blocks in foundations in Ireland ,hell

can you answer a question please , do you have to have soak aways now if building a one storey extension and not have the gutter run rainwater into the drains?ty

[@IzzytheBricky]

Hiya mate, soak always are a bit naff. We always go into the drains if it's mixed water waste. Alot of time, soak always actually don't work and they just hold water and flood the gardens

[@markrichardson5295]

Can't agree izzy. It depends on the ground. I live in an area of heavy clay to ballast. I no of houses built in the 50s with 3ft cube soakaway that still work now

Hi Isaac, I was just wondering do you ever leave notes in the work you are doing? just so if in years to come someone that is taking apart something could come across it and know when you was there? PS, nice videos keep up the (hot) hard work. :-)

[@IzzytheBricky]

Hiya mate, no I don't... sometimes when I top out a job (gables) I put my name and date on the last brick I lay on the job... but had really cool thought. Perhaps leaving notes, a date and channel members names on a paper and putting it into the build 😊 what do you think?😊

[@Auditingcontent]

@ Izzy the brick. This message is for all the tradespeople out there, especially bricklayers. What do you think the future holds for bricklaying? Is there still good money to be made, or has the landscape of the trade changed? Would you recommend someone entering the field, or do you think it's wiser to pursue a different trade and steer clear of construction? I’d love to hear your honest opinions, particularly from those who have been in the trade for a long time. Have you ever considered leaving the profession for something different? Do you have a plan B for the future? I'm also keen to hear from the creator of this channel. With industries like automotive technology rapidly evolving-such as the shift towards electric and hybrid vehicles-I'm curious if others in the trade are thinking about transitioning to more tech-focused careers. Please share your thoughts; I’m genuinely interested in what you all think."
