thats awesome, ☺️ thank you

Great Job Ryan 🇨🇦👌

At least he fills his head joints full. Nice work guys!

James is a good man actually. First time I laboured for him he farted on my face. Not even sure if it was intentional, was measuring, looked upwards and fart; could not stop laughing ever since

Nice touch with one of my favorite songs. Cheers bro...... And more Mud!!

When you know you can, and you do your best, you can be proud of what you do.

Thanks for giving James a break, some guys take a while to get it through their heads, myself I'm like that, those guys can be a benefit too down the road because they see things in different ways that others may not.

That is some seriously hard work fellas, and it puts bread on the table.

I used to lay block for a company called Patania masonry it’s around the Bay Area so we gotta use rebar it taught me what real work was real honest work

Custom work brother turned out awesome.👍🏻🇺🇸

I just going to say you doo best work man im from Montenegro come to America just like you did to Canada and I work hard just like you man and I understand your hard work god bless you and your family keep it up 👍

Probably one of the most labor intensive trade. Much respect.

I’m glad someone has the respect for it. People hear bricklaying and just think lazy fat fucker just laying brick after brick making out like it’s easy and describe it as “mind numbing”. Sometimes when helping out the joiners I wonder if I chose the wrong trade😂

The real heroes are the laborers for the bricklayers 🤨 I had a bricklayer one time at the end of the day told me to clean his tools. Now keep in mind this guy was a Mexican and he usually only worked with Mexicans non-union labor and I'm a white dude union labor. I told him straight up I said that's not my fucking job I said you might get away with it with your scab laborers that you're used to having work for you but you can go clean your own f0cking tools. I got enough shit to fucking do . Next day he comes around bitching at me where's my mud. I said are you kidding me you have a labor on the scaffold with you handing you bricks striking your work and brushing your work. Get your own labor standing right next to you to get your mud. Needless to say this dude got fired within 2 weeks😂😂😂 I don't know how this dude got in the bricklayers Union but he definitely didn't last long. Anyway nice work man a little acid wash and everything will be sweet.

Well I guess I'll reply again since my comment mysteriously disappeared. The real hero of bricklaying is the labor. This could be a horrible job depending on who you are working for that's for sure. Basically on the worst side of this the labor is setting up scaffolding mixing mud moving bricks back and forth. While most bricklayers sit there on the scaffolding waiting for their labors to hand something. Believe me I know I used to be one of these laborers. I actually had one bricklayer at the end of the day told me to clean his tools. I looked at this dude laughed my a$$ off and told him to f0cken clean your own f0cking shit you lazy f0cking reeeetard who can't even count to four. And a lot of these guys have their labors striking and brushing the work. That's the bricklayers job to do that part. Not all brick layers are like that though. You usually find these types of dudes in the Union of bricklayers and tuck pointers. It don't take but a day to get the skills going to throw mud down and set a brick. Anybody can be a bricklayer it's pretty much a very low skill demanding job. So yeah if you guys want to pray somebody for a good job praise the laborer. Cuz those are the guys that are getting the shit done. The bricklayer is just a mindless robot. How most of them can't even read a blueprint for new construction. Guess how many times I ran into that situation.

​@@thebigdezshow8971im a laborer and joining is piss easy, it sucks for us labourers who get used and abused while the bricklayers just lay and order us to do all the intensive Labor, go mix, push the barrow around the house dish mix out, mix again, dish it out, go join, stack bricks here, scrub the walls, mix, dish it out, grab this grab that, no not there over there are you dumb? Work faster i want to see you sweat! Meanwhile they are just laying and your drenched in sweat contemplating walking off cause your sick of being spoken to like shit. Moneys good I guess.

Very good craftmanship in a very tight area. I can see two different techniques between James and the boss (1kb instruction). The boss laid the brick with high efficiency, less or no mess, nice/clean finish. Good demonstration !!!!

Excellent job looking very good

Beautiful workmanship always amazed by truly skilled workers Thanks for sharing

Thank you too

A good effort by the lad and as the foreman on the job it’s your supportive attitude will help up his speed and confidence. The client is critical when he needs to speak to you on your lack of overseeing a new employee. Random interlock stone is a skill which needs to be laid with care . His trowel work is ok.

Top workers, I’m waiting on some master carpentry 👊🏾

5:30 I couldn't help but wonder if it wouldn't be beneficial to put a few small pvc pipes or something under the lowest course of bricks. That way should any water ever ingress into the cavity it can easily drain out But I'm not a builder, I am a geologist so what do I know LOL

Flashing over paper? Paper should be over flashing. Relying on that tape joint isn't best practice but it's your job. Retired brickey btw. Thanks for the vids.

Do the bricks give any structural support to the timber frame,like does the roof sit on top of the brickwall?

@ericbstudios9807

5 ай бұрын

In this scenario, it's a brick veneer. It may make the overall structure stronger but the roof does not sit on the masonry. They're hanging bricks off the side of the house

good to see the contractor usin plywood instead of that god forsaken OSB. not really necessary for the wall sheathing, but critical for roof and floor sheathing. can not believe contractors can get away indiscriminantly usin this stuff where I am from

I probably would’ve got rid of him. The backchat would be the last straw, that is not the same as an opinion or different way to achieve the same result.

So you’re a better man than me, especially when your reputation, livelihood and business is on the line.
