Doesn't get any better than Steve and Alex doing your building-work for you, guaranteed top-quality workmanship throughout. And, as an added bonus, they clear up afterwards! Not every builder does that, and that is why these two guys are a class act. Thanks for taking the time and trouble with all the editing Steve, great job. Keep safe both.

I have access to over a million free solid bricks, my truck hauls 200 at a time, some have the makers stamp from the 1870's, many of these are in absolute perfect condition, many are wore down, some were used to construct buildings, most were laid on edge as paving (good-video)

Great work and you sealed the seam between original path and new tarmac to stop water getting in , then freeze and thaw ruining the join. Wish the idiots who fill potholes would do the same. They used to have metal watering can full of hot liquid tar but not anymore and so the patched pothole soon becomes a pothole again.

I have seen and repaired many freestanding walls, solid and cavity walls. Many were built in the 70s and 80s. Often there is frost damage in the form of peeled and cracked cell bricks with a lack of cover or cover without a water nose. One of the reasons for the damage is due to moisture and frost. Unlike external walls in heated homes, there is no heat source on free-standing walls, so the moisture can only evaporate with the help of the sun and wind. Salt from pavements and roads is also hard on masonry. We repair joints and replace peeled and cracked stones and, for example, provide roller changers with a moisture barrier and cover, e.g. zinc, copper or concrete with profile water nose underneath. We put valves with insect nets in the lower and upper row. Some freestanding walls were too bad to repair and were taken down. I can see from the foundation depth that You do not dig and pour to a frost-free depth, 900mm according to Danish standards, so without knowing your location, I do not suspect that you have so much frost damage to the masonry. Funny to see your different way of having mortar on a slab, on top of a stand and I'm a fan of your support of masonry with the angle/plate you can put on the support columns.

Use your wheelbarrow to set fire to your tarmac then you can pour as much fuel in as you want without it flowing out of control on the path way. Also, what helps is leaving the bags of tarmac in your van until its actually time to use them.

Your professionalism always amazes me. Most Brickies around here would of said that's job done without the cleanup and tarmac patching. Sounds weird but one day I wish I could have a wall like that 😂. When I bought my house I trusted someone who advised me to have a retaining wall from sleepers when I had my driveway done..it's half rotten already... I told my neighbour not to copy me. His driveway company used a right cowboy shoddy bricklayer...honestly it looks horrendous compared to your work 😮

Nice jobs gents. One thing bothering me. Maybe it's the camera deceiving me, but when you a running in the BOE you had four bricks on the corner by the driveway. The one you were working to. It looks like by the time you get up there you are running into one brick with your pink cuppa on top. Then the camera shows you finishing up from the front angle. Back to four bricks and the pink cup has mysteriously disappeared. Not a criticism, just need to know should I book an appointment with spec savers.
