Even mrs is helping 🎉

Nice work Chris,looking forward to seeing that boundary wall on the Victorian extension (your best one to date I reckon) is that your grandson still on with you?🤓☝️🧱

Proper bricky,,,,no flip flops and knows his stuff and doesn't bore his mate to death 😂😂

Awesome

Can i ask - why arent you creating angled joints? No criticism, just curious as most i see have continuous levels for the joints through the arch.

Whats the steel for if you have all that masonry under it?

David moyes has fallen on hard times he's back repairing utd ground

That mortar looks thin

I’d be bursting for a piss all day there 😂

Proper bricky not like flipflop brecky,,, how about English bond .

lose the daft music

Team works the dreamwork!!

What are them cast iron pipe connections called

Rooofs not level lanted to the right

bricklayer ????? the frog goes down not up (that's the dip in the brick for you none bricklayers)

Sir, your skills are amazing

Great vids. I’ve started digging out the foundation for a garden room which will have an insulated slab floor. Do you think I really need to dig down to 1m for the footings though? It’s permitted development so I don’t need building regs but it is clay. Cheers

Chris you are elegant in your master skills.

superb job 👏

surely that amount of water must weaken the concrete severely ?

i see the mortar between the bricks dried differnt colours did you use differnt sand?

Made my day with memories of building my house 40 odd years back. So refreshing to know that Flemish bond is still up there. Spoke to a young lad starting out and he has yet to do any work other than stretcher and bucket handle pointing. He had never heard of lime mortar which suprised me. Loved the nice touch of the camber arch over the window and a proper looking cill.

No mortar between the block? Only that tiny core filled?

I had to do one of these, and it's my first attempt at brick laying. Its going OK so far, but I've got a bad suspicion it's one of the more tricky things to try for a beginner. Because unlike if you were doing a wall, there's no string line to follow, and you're putting the next bricks right on top of the ones you just laid, and putting the 2nd brick on always wants to upset the first as you push the buttered side together.

Nice one. We need to keep your skills alive, I hear a lot of new-build chimneys are now GRP because of the skills shortage. :(

How the hell do you get a builder on your job who is this good? It's total pot-luck. There's a lot of regulations to follow but absolutely no way for an average home-owner to verify if builders are even going to bother.

Maybe you could do a short tutorial on profile ans story poles? You are such a good craftsman.

Everyone should have a mentor like this guy. Craftsmanship.

Lovely detail you are putting in! Would the Victorians have used a lime base mortar?

This looks really good, I hope the homeowner was pleased with the end result as you've built it perfectly. Thanks for making the videos and sharing this with us.

One day, you will be gone, but your brickwork will stand there for another century. I have always admired bricklayers.

Chris, you give everyone so much confidence in the way you build. You would be a great teacher 👍👍

Great job 👍

nice work 👌 good to see

Closures ...... Not Queen Closures . Told you this before . 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

isn't it great when someone knows what they're doing

Thanks for videos love you guys ! Did you make the pan stands ?

What a cracking job, craftsman 👍👊

Cambered

Do you not use formers anymore? It’s lucky you’re very good but if you had an apprentice you might get the reveal plumb.

you are right to put the elbow in, I put a P trap in to stop the sewer gas coming out the porch roof drain. It both froze up and clogged up and had to be redone right.

stellar job, looks like it was always there. canine therapy though, not sure what that's about, there are people in the UK who can't afford to eat.

Bloody hell...now I want to do some brick work....and I'm a framer and a roofer...he made it look easy...I can do that....YEAH RIGHT....nice work....the best brikeys...seem to be over on the other side of the pond....good day from Michigan

Very nice job. I never had the patience to learn bricklaying. I had a very good friend who could lay bricks and blocks and stones from the time we were ten years old. I always admired his patience. Maybe after watching you I will give it a try, patience has set in as I got older. Thank you for the great content.

Your like watching a surgeon! A ton of work involved in that tiny area! Awesome videos really

Could watch a you all day a true artisan 👍

Cracking job Chris , I’m a time served Brickie myself who gave up the trade in my late 20’s to take up a completely different career path - I seen far too many old Scottish brickies bent , stooped , broken and riddled with arthritis with the cold damp weather at home - I digress , it’s great seeing the easy skill you show on your vids and I whooped with delight when I correctly predicted how you were going to overcome facing the RSJ with cuts etc . Look forward to more of your content Chris ✊ 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Would u save time with higher concrete foundation with brick shelf? Anyway great informative videos!

That is not a CAMBER ARCH.

Goofy bricks..very irregular Nd sized poorly.. Do your best... Carry on
