Thanks for watching!
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.
Why bury that cable that was running along the wall? Wouldn’t it have been better to reroute it, in case access is needed to it in the future?
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😂😂😂
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
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!
I did one of these for a customer but I set it an inch away from the wall so I did not breech the DPM.
Same thoughts here about the DPM being bridged.
Could run some dpm up the connection side to the house.
my dad wouldn't allow me to lay it like that, he'd make me fill up the entire inside with more bricks and especially across the back, there's nothing back there.
He mentioned it was temporary untl they could come back and do a nice step design like what is at 06:00 mins
Another great job done Stu , If that's a temporary job , most people would be well happy if it was a permanent fixture, great to see KC doing his usual touches ,take care boys , and nice choccky bikkies, not cheap crap 🤣🤣👍👍
Awesome work there with that step Stu! Keep up the great work as always! 👌😁👍👷♂️🧱
Love watching you and your dad on these small jobs 😊
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
As Father Jack Hackett would say, "I love BRICK!" I can't imagine how you could tidy it up...it's perfect now😍
Ahhhh feckin brickkk
Seems like a great team, guiding each other and pride in their work. Wouldn't be bothered about the cable.
Another step in the right direction stu👍😉👍. Can't beat British workmanship
My favorite bricky is back with another great video. Lovely jobly Stu. Say hello to K.C too. Godspeed mate 👍 👍.
Cheers mate
That concrete is smooth!!! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Agreed. I was thinking the same exact thing.
'Buttery' is the word! Put it on your toast! 🤣
Its neither, its mortar. @wasntme7845
is there any risk to the steps being hollow? I was expecting you to fill the void with something? I know nothing about construction but was just wondering 🤷🏼♂️
I think this was just a temporary job
Housing for insects.
Do you make knives?
And do you make swords?

Love your videos Stu.Best wishes to you and KC.
Good teacher. Well played. Decent job.
Top job as always Stu
Cracking job as always Stu
You went above the damp course on the external cavity. Capillary attraction
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?
First time here, loved it very therapeutic to watch.
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.
How did you round the corners of the slabs? Really inspirational video for a part timer Jack of all trades like me!
With a handheld grinder.
Great work as always stu
Great job and helping a lady out to good on you.
A great step by step guide. Thank you
Step lol
This is a great video, I am doing something similar with my front step that is a little bigger, with bluestone slab toppers. What would you fill the middle of the step up with if you wanted that to be more permanent?
fill it up with concrete blocks or even type 1 👍
Good Job Man 👍🏽
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 👍
Completely agree. Love this type👍
One thing I've always noticed about your videos is how perfect you get the mortar mix, the consistency is absolutely spot on every time, almost like cake icing!
Brown 👅
So you wanna join his only fans? What a simp
GREAT JOB ❤❤
Half decent job but you shouldn't have that void under the slabs should be a full bed...
Lovely job!
Did my house step off back of this video baring in mind I’m only a roofer I’m damn pleased with outcome going for a small brick wall next
Another quality installation chaps, fancy doing my stu. I'll pay you in wigan pies and bacon butties. Top stuff 👏
Lovely work 👍
That's how you use a shovel young man respect 🙏
Great Job boys well done 🍻
Great video as ever! What cement/ concrete are you using so you can lay brick on it nearly straight away?
Rapid cement from B&Q👍
Thank you sir👍
This was strangely mesmerising
Simple and efficient.
Great stuff.
Lovely job.
Where's all the window and door fitting videos with KC. Enjoyed them
Stu your a perfectionist and your standards are high. Brilliant work
The thing isn't in the middle and protrudes out too much
Hi Stu, please can you what motar you use? Which make of tools you recommend?
Would you recommend doing brick work with concrete mix and not a stucco and/or mortar mix?
No muck should be softer than the brick
Sometimes I don’t understand why i can watch this from start till the end.
Another top job well done lads when you coming to do mine 👍🏻😉😂
Nice video... I think the little jobs are good for us beginners to see.
Fathers make the best back seat drivers
Subscribed nice work skilled 👌👍
what is the ratio of sand to cement to best use please?
I see Dave Spikey has given up his day job as a comedian and is exploring other avenues. Go on Dave!
Are you a comedian in your spare time willy
I started doing one of these round the back of my house, got a bit carried away... Ended up doing a 2 story double extension
Do you cover Essex? How I can get your contact information?
Nice job
What the frost line in your area? Brick work with no footer?
Very smooooooth
Nice vid
Guys, you are seriously taking the piss!!
What’s your mix ratio there guys?
hi did you use cement for the foundation or concrete ? sorry for the stupid question
It said in a previous answer B&Q Rapid something 😊
Why dint you just build straight of existing slabs. Its only 2 courses high
Will the step cause damp any it's high to the dpc
Hermoso trabajo felicitaciones saludos desde Chile
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 🤔👍👍
Perhaps move the wire up just under the door level ?!?
It looks like a minor job this, but it'll make all the difference in the world for the owner.
Whats the muck mix please....and any additives....cheers
Sorry mate, but that step isnt square with the existing step. It overlaps on the right by about 3-4 inches. It needed to go left about 1 1/2 - 2". That would bug me everytime i stepped over it. Rest of it is okay though.
You made pockets to hold water causing foundation problems.
Is the overhang going to snap off if you step wrong?
Nice job, but should be concrete base, not mortar.
With neighbours like Stu and KC you know come what may they will do their best to help you out of bother 👏 Well done guy's.
Thanks
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
thumbs up from Lake George, NY * was that concrete or mortar that you used ?
Thats mortar he used for the base and to lay the brick.
It was concrete👍
Belting job Stu.
Not to knit-pick but I'd have also added a vertical line of bricks in the centre for central support instead of the support only being around the outside edge under the slabs..just saying
It’s temporary
Spot on job that stu keep up the good work
What’s wrong with golfing in the rain you just need the clubhouse open and a bacon barm.
What would be your Labour cost for a job like this? Just a ball park figure please. I’m looking to get someone local in to do the same type of step for me
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.
Lovely step pity about half covering the air bricks just causing problem in the future
Omg imagine not taking that cable away first it might be needed! The step isn't centred with the door.
Seen some KZhead house builds with smaller footings.
I’d be happy with that even as a permanent step
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...
Is it possible to put the wet concrete right on top of the old tiles or is that a no no / Did you have to dig out the old tiles? If there's already brick in place and I want to make a step on top of it, do I need to dig out the old brick and make a concrete base?
Great
Joints look abit small
Where do the weep holes go ?
Would violate building code and ADA regulations in the United States.
Thanks for watching and commenting
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
