Day in the life of a Female Bricklayer

Музыка

Hello everyone, welcome to the first proper RattleKings KZread video.
Basically just wanted to show you what you can expect from my videos, time lapses, tutorials, tips and tricks. Mainly i want to show girls that they CAN work in the trade and they CAN be on building sites. I work with super fun friendly people and hopefully through a series of videos might convince you to turn to bricklaying or a trade as a career.
Not every day is rainbows and sunshine, we have our ups and downs just like any job, but we smile through and work it out.
We don’t have a labourer at the moment so we all just chip in and do all the jobs.
All my clothes I’m wearing in this video are from Scruffs Workwear.
Please let me know in the comments what you think of the video, also if you have any tips for me. I will be uploading 1 video per week so please subscribe if you want to keep watching me work :)

    I've watched a few bricklaying vids and got to say you have some great skills. You've obviously had an excellent teacher. No messing about laying bricks with some considerable skill 👩‍🏫👍👍

    Here’s a tip from an old bricky, when cutting your halves with your trowel hold the brick underneath with your hand and pull it towards the trowel as you strike it, or one day you might lose your thumb and just one more tip less tapping more money keep it going Linerforce.

    I was on the tools in the 80’s and never saw raised spot boards. I’ve just started back in my late 50’s after retirement. I made some board stands, they are a revelation as are nylon spot boards. Not sure my old back could cope without them.
