Good man stu, I think these films are much better for the beginner, teaching is more your game. Good to see you back. Keep well

Congratulations on the work you; I am an admirer of the care and care that makes British homes so beautiful. My respect and admiration from a friend from Brazil.

Another fantastic video stu well done and keep up the great work and glad u and KC are fine. Hope u enjoy your weekend 😁👍🏻😁👍🏻😁👍🏻😁👍🏻😁👍🏻😁👍🏻😁👍🏻😁👍🏻😁👍🏻

Great job stu Top notch as always!

Love watching you and your dad on these small jobs 😊

Extra brick support in the middle of each pave wouldn’t hurt

They said it was temporary,but yes should make sure same height like stairs.....also if this was permanent,I'm sure it would have been built centre to the doorway😂😂😂

As Father Jack Hackett would say, "I love BRICK!" I can't imagine how you could tidy it up...it's perfect now😍

Cracking job as always Stu

Another step in the right direction stu👍😉👍. Can't beat British workmanship

Great work, I would add though they are gonna pop loose. The open centers will allow a bounce in the tread. And the brick will freeze before the tread stone. Next time fill the cavities and get a perfect smooth layer then set the tread in fortified mastic. That will stay for 100 years.

In fairness though he did say it was only a temporary job and that he would come back to do a pattern similar to the semi circular step.

@@annfernakerpan6654 Why not do the correct job from the beginning. Why waste the time and money

When I was an apprentice brick layer I was taught not to tap on the level but to tap brick. Once you tap on an aluminum level it’s no longer accurate.

Top job as always Stu

Love your videos Stu.Best wishes to you and KC.

Seems like a great team, guiding each other and pride in their work. Wouldn't be bothered about the cable.

Love those gloves. They are my go to

Good teacher. Well played. Decent job.

I love these little videos stu. It's interesting seeing things like steps being put in. Theirs lots of Brickie videos at the minute laying course on course on course. Would love to see more of these if you get the chance 👍

I have to be honest. As a DIYer, brick laying is the easiest of the trades.

Where's all the window and door fitting videos with KC. Enjoyed them

I need to install a step like this at the back on my house on the extension so thought I would watch your video for guidance. I’ve got no problems doing this but my concern is the damp proofing. Doing this will surely bridge the damp proof or am I being over cautious?

Nice job

fill it up with concrete blocks or even type 1 👍

God wish I had a trade instead of getting a degree. Wish they'd ran trade courses at my Uni. I would have done Anthropology and bricklaying. I'd charge 5000 quid for laying a few bricks in the morning and then read about Inuit women at night.

How do you know how deep the concrete base needs to be??? I've got to cut into tarmac (to create a neat edge) to put a concrete base in, to build my steps on top of.

Guys, you are seriously taking the piss!!

Hi Stu, please can you what motar you use? Which make of tools you recommend?

I dont know what it is but people spend all there time at their keyboards, but to me there is nothing more satisfying then physical work, digging in getting things done learning. step by step, and at the end saying I did that, that's my job... Now let's get someone in that actually knows what there doing, because that is embarrassing, and if someone sees that from the pub I'll never live it down...

I'll be a journeyman in four days. Wish me luck! :D

Hold the shovel further down lads, and try the chopping action your dad was doing to loosen that bed! I’m a groundworker but love your videos mate been watching a while now

Is there any way i could build the step on top of existing patio slabs. I was thinking of ensuring the slabs were secure and using wall ties etc.

Hiya stu hope you and KC are ok 👍 Sorry for asking again but not seen Chang for some time now only thought He was doing so well 🤔👍👍

I’d be happy with that even as a permanent step

Yer Man Step By Step.

It's like looking in a mirror! I'd do exactly the same. Worth noting for beginners that you need to know the size of the slabs you're going to use to work out the lip when setting out the brickwork.

what is the ratio of sand to cement to best use please?

You made pockets to hold water causing foundation problems.

Seen some KZread house builds with smaller footings.

Would you recommend doing brick work with concrete mix and not a stucco and/or mortar mix?

@luisoliveira5024

No muck should be softer than the brick

Nice job, but should be concrete base, not mortar.

Brick perimeter great, but i don't like the twin step stone.A single stepping stone would look better.

What the frost line in your area? Brick work with no footer?

me and my 7 year old son love the vids mate keep up the nice work bro and would you mind shouting my boy out in a vid please as he just got out of hospital and his names logan m he would really appreciate it as would i

Will the step cause damp any it's high to the dpc

Perhaps move the wire up just under the door level ?!?

What’s your mix ratio there guys?

👌🍻

Grand Job😂

Why dint you just build straight of existing slabs. Its only 2 courses high

Lovely step pity about half covering the air bricks just causing problem in the future

Whats the muck mix please....and any additives....cheers

Is the overhang going to snap off if you step wrong?
