Many thanks for watching 👍

👏👏🧱👍

Cheers Peter 👍

Cheers Paul, Much appreciated, are you in the trade ? 👍👍🧱

@@BuildingwithBudd I’m a brickie as well I just commented because I admired the care you were taking there’s two or three of you I watch and like keep the videos coming as I’m sure lots more people will start subscribing👍

👍👍

I felt like a king for a few brief moments then they were scratched and messed up 😂😂 cheers for watching 👍

am i the only one having a hard time understanding what this guy is saying

Many thanks for watching,👏👏👍

Many thanks for watching 👏👏👍

Thank you 👏👏👏👍

Always less water and let it mix longer, the biggest mistake is to much water, that’s all I can tell you from my own experience, hope it helps 👍

Cheers Doug, come the on canaries 🤦‍♂️👍

@@BuildingwithBudd Yes indeed 🐥Its all rugby 🏉 over this side of the country

Never watched a game in my life 😀👍

@@BuildingwithBudd No goalkeepers or handball penalties 😂

Sounds strange to me 😀👍

Cheers Andy, many thanks for watching 👍👍👊

Lee we’re you a little bit jealous 😀 I never dreamt at my time of life I would have to invest in a new set of levels and Stabila ones at that 👍😂

@@BuildingwithBudd Haha 😛 man of your calibre should have these for always good treat yourself fella. Measuring tapes and stabila,s need to stop buying them. Have every size right upto 2.4m. 400mm very handy. Don’t use 600mm much although it’s there use 800mm. And a random size of 1500mm on the blockwork. Looking at them shining am got looking again 😆😆😆 got a deal on the 1200mm red handles. £67 notes bargain normally £80 range.

👍👍👍

Not quite sure what you mean, many thanks for watching 👍🧱

Is that regulation now? My 1950s house was built with LCB and the extension it had in 1990 was again done without engineering bricks in the footing….

@Mr_Ashley it is regulation now yes, pretty sure it was in the 90's too!!

Appreciate that mate, just did it this way so we could film it old school style, many thanks for watching 👍

Jack I went all in , definitely the last set I will have , I can actually see the bubbles on them 👍😂😂

Jack any more trivia for me this, last weeks just blew me out of the water 😂😂

@@BuildingwithBudd no morrisesy trivia bud ,but ...you might already know this one ----back in the day when they introduced "window tax" and people avoided it by bricking up existing windows to avoid the tax , this is where the phrase "daylight robbery "comes from ,morrisey told me that one

I never knew that Jack , you are a font of wisdom , you are the wise man 🙏 👍👍

@@BuildingwithBudd thick as really budd ,just love the old sayings and the origins ,you got any ol norfolk talk boi ,been going up tat way since a youngen and always loved the accent .

I don’t think I do , 😂😂 I can’t sing and I can’t remember the words 😂 many thanks for watching 👏👏👍👍

To the profiles up I need some brickwork to fix them to 👍 cheers for watching 👍👍

Why watch this video then lmao 🤣

I think domestic work is about quality and reliability. Us older brickies don't want to crash a thousand brick a day on site

Well said Mark this is the real world, where you have to actually think about things and know what your talking about,👍👍

@@BuildingwithBudd good lad budd. there's always one pal.

@@gilespanton9354 well said some people like criticising for the sake of it

😂😂👍

Is this good or bad ? Cheers for watching 😂😂

@@BuildingwithBudd good thing friend

@@BuildingwithBudd 😂

Vinnie that’s exactly what I don’t want, I want him to learn to use a trowel in real conditions on something he can’t damage, anyone can Chuck trench blocks down, young grasshopper has got to learn to feel the trowel🙏 many thanks for watching 👍👊👏😂😂👏

Ash, totally get what you are saying, it’s my own place time is not an issue for me , doing it in brickwork works for me, many thanks for watching 👍👍👊🧱

Yes I know.

Ragni 11inch Philadelphia, by the looks of it

That right boi, old Norfolk boys 👍👍

Seconds , there are no cheap bricks anymore, it’s my own choice I can’t be arsed lifting blocks and it gives the big G to have a run in without doing any damage, from my side it’s win win , cheers for watching 👍👍👊

@@BuildingwithBudd Them trench blocks look ok in that situation but I've never seen one or layed one just don't get them in my area. We just mass pour to 5 or 6 course below DPC depending on insulation.I couldn't be doing all that trench foot stuff these days reminds me of the 70s 😁

I’ve got to say they are an instant footing, and if someone pays me to use and lay them I do, but I won’t use them on my own house, I did a job a few years ago. An extension to a property, when pulled the footings out the existing foundation we’re trench blocks and they were wet , when you rubbed them they just crumbled in your hand. Just don’t sit right with me, cheers for watching 👍🧱

@@BuildingwithBudd Totally agree, I've always had my doubts with lightweight blocks below DPC now you have confirmed it 👍👍

I don’t think we are the only ones , but that’s how building is now everything quick, cheers 👍👍

What don’t you get ?

@@BuildingwithBudd What I'm trying to figure out is, where are the foundations? It appears that the house "rests" on the ground. Doesn't it have foundations in the form of concrete stilts that penetrate the ground, or any other elements? How are these houses built? That's what interests me. I am from Israel, and here every structure must have some kind foundations. Thank you for your time.

@@michaelsteinmann529 all those bricks are laid on concrete. Probably 600mm or more depending on the ground its in I guess.

Michael, the brickwork is built, on a footing which is made of concrete which in turn is, 600mm wide by 750mm in depth, you don’t always have to that deep it depends on the soil conditions, hope this helps many thanks for watching 👍👍

David I’ve been using all types of bricks up to damp all my life, but very rarely used engineering bricks, just how I’ve always been taught, if you go on the big sites it’s all trench blocks, if someone pays me to use those I will, but never on my own projects, appreciate you watching 👍👍👍👊

Thanks for the reply bud I’ve never done site work doesn’t interest me I couldn’t spend £600 a day😂 I’m going to have a word with the architect next extension we do , engineering bricks are a pain if the weather isn’t just so , I’m going to tell him if it’s good for bud it’s good for me 👍👍

I’ve never ever in 40 years been told to use engineering bricks up to DPC, been told to do manholes and for padstones, maybe it’s different parts of the country, this is old Norfolk 👍👍

It must be bud 32 years on the trowel always had to use the bloody things!!! I’m moving to Norfolk 👍👍😂😂😂

I've always been taught either concrete or engineering bricks below dpc because they transfer less damp

Glad it’s good for something 😊😊👍

Well I’m the opposite in 40 years never had to brick up to DPC in engineering bricks never, but it doesn’t mean I’m right or wrong, cheers for watching 👍👍

Double garage boss , cheers for watching 👍👍

👍👍👍many thanks for reply budd

No problem 👍

Cheers for your comments boss 👍👍

We don’t many situations where we use concrete blocks, it’s either footings, sometimes load baring walls, or I have built pig sty’s out of them, but if I have a choice I let someone else do it, don’t need them in my life any more, cheers for watching 👍👍👊

Don’t want to hump concrete blocks around, and if someone pays me I will lay trench blocks, but won’t use them on my own place, I’ve seen what happens to them after a few years in the ground, so I use bricks because it’s nice and comfortable to use, plus it gives big G a chance to lay a few without messing anything up , it’s that simple 👍👍

That’s definitely simple 👍

@@dciburnsidesniffsniff6119 do I detect a bit of sarcasm 😂

It’s not about the money just trying to show how you do it, it’s my own place, that’s it I’m not trying to show how to lay 1000 bricks , done all that, cheers for watching, sniff sniff 👍

Cheers for the reply bud as I say weren’t out to knock ya Hands upon was wrong with my comment and want to apologise 👍 The point is I do watch ya channel have a good weekend 👍

🤣🤣🤣🤣

No problem, many thanks for watching 👍👍

Delvin when I find ya I’m gunna do ya 👍

Been using them like this for 40 years, that’s how I was taught, I use trench blocks when someone puts them in front of me , 👍

@@BuildingwithBudd Things change, codes change and there is a reason for it.

I’ agree things move forward, I’ve never dug down on to an existing footing and found an LBC disintegrating but I have dug down and found trench block turning to mush, but that’s just my experience, I would never use trench blocks on my own place, but that’s just me , cheers 👍

Dont watch it then! If your better or faster make a video for everyone to watch

He is doing a tutorial, bet you're fast as fuck but ya work looks shit like most line monkeys .

Very painful to watch as a master bricklayer this guy is doing everything the long way probably took him two hours to build that two course of brickwork

@@blackboyskillit You do realise it's a tutorial video don't you???

John Fully appreciate your comments, I’ve done it this way because it’s my own place and I want to show my boy the old school real way of working in footings, plus he wants to learn so it is an ideal situation to let him have ago without messing anything up , and make him appreciate how good he has it in his world of IT , I can’t disagree with what you say, but I’m doing it this way because I can, many thanks for watching 👍👍🧱

@@BuildingwithBudd sent your children to university.keep them away from building sites.they will end up like me with sun indused skin cancer.and spinal damage so I cant get out the bath and can't bend down to put my socks on.its even painfull driving a car.

I know how that feels, if you watch me trying to put a pair of socks on or a pair of wellie boots, it must be like watching some sort of comedy sketch, 👍👍
