Just curious why you guys still build corners rather than using profiles? Been a Bricky here in Australia for 20+ years. Can do both but always found the profile method to be so much quicker

Love watching the artist at work. Nicely done Charlie.

Well done Charlie and Tom considering how much rain we have had!

Was a proper hoddy in London 40 years ago, l have seen a lot of bricklayers and so called bricklayers,loud mouth cockneys, WW2 vets - contrary sods at times, it was always the hoodies fault when a corner had to be taken down, sure half of them were blind poor sods and let's face it they done their bit for King and country and deserved respect which I acknowledged they knew I was Irish, but they never called me Paddy in fairness.Bricklayers bragging about laying 1000 bricks a day and they often did brag , I would just nod my head and get on with it. Of All the bricklayers I have ever tended l can honestly say I only came across one bricklayer who could average that every day and that's important because there is a big difference when you come to opes and he never once in the years we worked together bragged about his work he didn't have to, everyone knew he was a different class to them, never used a power tool, just brick hammers to build arches and you would not believe how neat the finish was.

Why corners no profiles on this one mate ?

Does wind me up how the building merchants can't supply dry bricks or somehow keep them out of the weather when on site...this country can be so backwards sometimes...🤦

Bricks for large sites don't come from merchants, they come direct from the factory where they've been sat outside gathering moss for months/ years. They are absolutely soaked before they see a lorry.

Great effort Charlie

It’s £2 a brick where I’m from. Imagine a brickie on £2000 a day. It’s hard work so fair play.

Hardly any of the company’s keep The bricks covered any more

In Scotland we would have a guy doing the corners and the rest of the squad would be running in at the back of him kept everybody laying

Big love from iran 🇮🇷❤🤷‍♀️Great work

Those were the days, problem now is arthritis in both wrists. Not nice.

So every 2 meters u reinforce with another column of bricks? And at the corners? How many columns is it?

I often watch these videos thinking realistically, you are just stacking bricks on top of eachother...although graft, it's hardly advanced engineering. Tried to build some brick steps in the garden at the weekend ... Took me all day to build 3 steps, crippled my back and knees, the bricks pizzed me off and you won't find two level bricks in them..

Why can't you plumb up a reveal, is the issue here.

when you build wet brick always build the corners slack. Also short corners and run 'em in. Wet bricks will roll out with the weight and when you joint them. Mention this because I noticed you were only plumbing from the point you started building today. So the previous work was probably hard to the bubble. Just an observation, not a criticism. You're part of the 1 in 25 group that are naturals.

The white blocks are called celcons and normally used on the outside because they are better for insulation I think they are made from waste from power stations? You can get similar grey thermalite blocks. Then you also get concrete blocks that are mostly used for internal walls they come in two different types and different densities and weights, 7 newtons and 3.5 newtons. The heavier 7n blocks are used in the partition/jack walls. Sometimes the colour is just down to different manufacturers

I used to install solar panel’s so we’d often be last on site and I always used to look at the millions of bricks on these large new builds and think that must be hard graft. Very nice work man 👍

Depending on what i was building 1000 was not that hard, today the brickies are happy with 500. i guess the prices are higher now though.
