I think you need one to point up the thickness of those joints. Who's in charge of quality control there ?

Fucking car tyre you mean lol.

Mark Mckale im a bricklayer studeny in Québec Canada. Its a year curse and beleve me when we are done we are ready to lay properly.

dI was crabbing and trapping and driving workboats when I was seven.We didn't play in the Summer. We worked and kids now will lay around and do nothing and then you put them to work at 18 and I know lots of guys will do nothing until they're about 30. I know a guy who is 53 and never had a job, but he started carving decoys and he could sit in the heat and AC and he would carve decoys from 7 am to midnight. His initials a WJF When you see those decoys that just know they were carved by a lazy obese POS. He just found something he could sit on his ass. The job he did before that he would go spray weeds for the country. He would leave the house at 9 am and be back home asleep on the couch by 1 pm. He weighed 390 pounds when he was twenty. Another guy did nothing until he got married at thirty. Neither one of them have done a day's work.The one that's never had a job poured a concrete pad for a dog pen and it looked like he smoothed it out with a tree branch. The one who got a job at thirty it took me three days to get him to fix 100 pallets and he wasn't doing anything. I told them you don't really need an employer because you can pick up aluminum cans but you need gumption.

Im a bricklayer myself and i think theres a problem with the younger masons(if youd call them that) not giving a fuck. It really irks me to go on site and my foreman and peers cant read a print or dont want to do something properly because "no one will notice and it would take to long". +-3 to 5 mm, fine, but when your joints could fit ron jeremys cock in them or can barely fit a toothpick, i think its time to look for a new calling and leave it to guys who actually pride themselves in there work.

Mark Mckale trust me I did a 2 years colly got on site private work didn't have a clue mate they don't teach you the right stuff n they teach me slow I now have to go back for a refresher 💔

In a year you should be able to build a jumbo jet and skyscraper. I'ts not brain surgery. I think brain surgeons do a six-month course.

Kaspa kasparov yes yes yes totally agree with you. Just about to pull a customers dream house to bits because of shoddy work and a decent Clark would have smashed holes in it

Clerk of works

Clerk of works at...…. least Kaspa has an excuse, being Russian.

@@golfinguna And what's your excuse for being a sad bastard??

@@Ratsotone beautiful reply... 👌

Absolutely, don't sack the brickies, they know no different, sack the foreman and agent, the brickies should have gone after the second course.

Whoever layed out the brick bond is resposible,that panel of wall needs torn down.They should of caught that when they started,bad forman.No pride.

they would have gone in the first couple of hours on my site (yes i'm a site manager), piss poor site management that has aloud it to happen, the brickies need to be told but the management needs fucking off and someone who knows what they are doing put on there

fucks sake never hurd such a fuss make over afew wide morter lines. the building proberly a complete eye sore anyway like most moden buildings are, its 50 ft up in the air. 99 percent of people who even look at it wont even notice or care. there those piss cheap nasty bricks anyway and the building will proberly be demolished with in 30 years anyway to make way for some other cheap nasty ungle eye sore of a building lol if this is all youv got to fuss about in life I should count your self lucky son

My God that's unacceptable they need to be all removed

You must live 5 miles away. Cause you could see that 2 miles away.

Barnettstrongman Jnes The saying goes "It will look good from my house"

Kansas Gardener depends on where you live I guess..

david jones It's something brick layers say when it looks like crap.

Kansas Gardener lol I know I am one, just laughing at different take on things, have you heard of the burglar bond.

Richnflow there wasn't any inspection from local authorities or nhbc or anything .I could not get my head round this personally

Richnflow they should be improvers after 6 month course. for At least a year. but most bricklayers won't teach new bricklayer out of college. so that's what will happen bad bricklayer until someone gets killed! or a building collapses.

Richnflow to many fcuking Russians and poles.

Not just people from abroad, I worked as my fathers labourer at weekends and school holidays until I left school at 18, he used to laugh at the new builds he saw. I was offered a course at college, complete waste of time. My father did a five year apprenticeship in the early 40's, he then did another two years apprenticeship working on the old kilns, skill and speed takes time, you cannot learn it in a year. He also learned how to jump out of a plane in 1944 when the Polish and Russians were our friends, he fought with the Poles, he said they were brave fearless men.

The thing is subbies dont give a fuck. Throw it up and hope for the best. Ive been on the trowel for 30 + years and I can honestly say the standard of work these days is shit. Get a few eastern Europeans on the line and pay them "X" amount a day and let them run in the line, while someone with half a clue builds the tricky bits or sets up profiles and marks the gauge up. The whole being a tradesman and having PRIDE in your work is a distant memory. I wouldn't mind but Brickwork is a lot easier now than when I was an Improver. No arches ( maybe prefabricated ones , that you drop and point up) , English/Flemish bonds ( normal and garden wall varieties for example ) are a distant memory. Half the idiots I work with now are brain dead and mess up simple things like wall ties up reveals , tray damps, weeps ...fuck it, even pointing up is far to complex for some people. Guess that's why I get paid more lol. Start a new job on site.Give it till breakfast and then hit the subbie up for more money. The NVQ is a shit show compared to City And Guilds. Rant over ...Im rough as a badgers asshole !!!

Thats because the teachers either don't turn up. Change every other week or they have the history teacher cover. Its ridiculous round here. They need the same teacher who knows their weakness and can guide them.

It's not "workmanship " , it's workmanshit

You 100% Right it’s is 💩

Yes it got finished and now with residential status. It wouldn't surprise me if it fell down, the horrors I've seen on there. I couldn't begin to tell. If it goes I'm sure we will all be dragged into court for an injury

Its awful. Don't even know where to start. The bonds at 1.19, parts where they've not started with the corners. Whoever did this has definitely had no training

@@jacksdjfam Im all for people like this!! More the merrier!! Cos it means anyone that knows what their doing, gets paid proper!!

You want to go to speck savers mate , and after that get your head tested Moran🤡🤡🤡

Blockwork - phone keep changing it

Aye well welcome to the wonderful world of profiles mate quicker but it's only people who can't build a corner that use them plastic brickies mate

Richard Tromans maybe it's worked out for the best

chris jepson yeah mate I work as a glazer now in car manufacturing on 50k a year but I also miss it a lot

its brickwork, youre not meant to render it

@@LegionUK No shit Sherlock!

Render covers a multitude of sins.

We left alright the job was a disaster from start to finish
