Good job guys. It's nice to see you are not wasting motion and time beating on bricks like alot of YT videos. I was trained by an old bricklayer years ago, and he was so fast that he alone, with one guy mixing mud and carrying bricks, could brick a 1500 sq ft home in 2 1/2 days. His secret was in the mud spreading. He spread the mud the perfect amount, where all he had to do is lay the brick on the bed joint and press very little. He scraped the excess one time, and used it to butter the head joint on the brick he had just laid. The head joints of the bricks were buttered on the brick after it was laid. He taught me to have no lost motion. He trained me to do it, but I didn't make a career out of brick laying. I just didn't like all the bending over. About 20 years is all a bricklayer can do, before their back gives out.

Reminds me of p.e when had to get dressed using lost property

"HUN, I'm gonna make a video for KZfaq. What can I wear that'll show off my tats?" "Babes, my gym vest & shorts are in the bottom drawer!" " Brilliant. Thanks Hun!"

And it’s amazing how the simple presence of a woman on site makes everyone behave haha

Why is that I find professional builders, who obviously know what they are doing, so satisfying to watch at work?

Actually nice to see a man that knows his stuff. Very skilled

It’s cool seeing hard workers in action doin there trade. Peace From Jersey USA 🇺🇸 god bless

I used to be a bricky 20 yrs ago ,, and if he has you mentoring him ,, hes going to be good ,, your bricklaying skills are amazing 👍🏻

Had no idea Cody Garbrandt could lay bricks

0:48 Jordan falling over while you're casually explaining was perfect haha

Yous are the first bricky gang I've ever seen wearing toolbelts, fairplay.

Good stuff. Thanks for taking the time to show your trade and skills.

Quality video. Thanks Charlie. You wearing those shorts has just reminded me that it's roast chicken for dinner 👍👍

Plumber and gas engineer here and actually addicted to watching this haha, weird tho how so many people hate but still watch tho😂

Datum point scale up the original wall taken from the highest point of the footings is a god send when first setting up. Good job guys.

You need to get some legs for those shorts lad.. 😅

This is the main reason why I always get my pour within 10mm it just makes like easier for everyone. Loving your vids mate 👍

Bloody hell. I'm a software engineer and now i'm addicted to watching bricklaying videos and wanna be a bricklayer. Brilliant job lads

Thumbs up to the camera bird. Mrs, mother, sister any other sucker... good work 👍🔥🔥

Top job Charlie👌🏻 Shoutout to Mrs Collision too for the excellent camera work! Enjoy the rest of your weekend lads 🙌🏻 PS that muck looked top draw Jord

I find this 10 times more interesting than both my univeristy degrees lol

Great to see a young chap getting on , And a grafter , Need more youngsters like him who will work hard and prosper

One very long garden. Enjoyed watching your video.

Haha class, setting up with the sliders on. Love it. Mint on a private job. 😂

I thought you was going for a run in 1980 in those shorts!!😂😂😂 Nice job lads 👍 good filming Charlie's Mrs/or/Sister. Looks like we could see quite a few vids from here if next door get you to do there extension as well. Enjoy the weekend 👍👍👍🍺🍺🍺🍺🍨🍨

He spent thousands on those leg tattoos so he’s making SURE you can see them

Only guy worth watching on youtube. Excellent explantions

well i thought they were an interesting sort of crew and their work quality seemed pretty decent. also a boss with respectful manners to his crew. loved watching the vid.

I'm from Canada and work as a mason and I was shown a trade secret making mud using dish soap. I learned it from the Brits over here I worked for as a lacky . Makes it nice and creamy and I noticed him bubbling it up in the drum mixer. Wish I lived there id work for ya bud. Cheers

This is they type of guy on the job site wearing a thong and listening to pump up the jam on a Walkman.....

Complete and utter chancers..😆 only messing Charlie, you's done a great job.👌

Your vids are so relax 💆🏻‍♀️

Looks like he's made out of spare parts

Nice little Saturday morning job. Fair play to your Mrs for helping out. I wouldn't be able to get mine out of bed that early haha.

Great Video I’ve learnt finally how you get the levels in. Looking forward to the video 👍

Could watch this all day. Good stuff.

My mate dan Spencer loves short shorts with stocking 😂👍🏼

Yes lads! you can work and live at the same time. It’s new generation and I love it.

Just came across this channel love it!

Top lads another top job fair play boys keep smashing it 👌

Fair play Charlie.. The difference between your site work and this private job is like night and day.. Much more pro👌.. Missed the breaktime bants in the ranger but a time and place for everything ey.. Quality vid bud. Best for ages imho👍

Faire play to ye for taking the time too teach the boys maks the difference how ye learn

Great to see a laser been used I had to pack wall plates 50 mm on a extension recently fare play great job.

Love the stockings .

That’s actually mad I went to college with frank and now I come across this channel and see him 😂

My man wore his short shorts and flip flops to the site.

I have no idea why I am watched this but I watched it all and found it very interesting. Great skills

Loves watching you boys work keep er up

Can tell the lads respect you, hard working gang today 👌

I have nightmares about forgetting my trousers and socks and ending up on site sometimes 😂

Great mornings work lads , love 👍👍

Great video Really enjoyed it thank you Proper tradesmen 👍

Would get ripped to shreds on our site.. short shorts, flip flops, legs caked in tattoos and trying to look like so geordie shore wannabe 😂😂 he would quit within a day.

Core blimey guv. First time I watched a 1 hr video all the way through . Awesome!!

Im glad your buttering your brick up properly mate instead of that bloody pick and dip😉 only kidding great stuff bro👍

Everyone loves to hate in the comment section don’t they! About how he dresses and his tattoos. To leave a shallow comment I feel your pain, I know u wish u had the bollocks to do YOU! Instead it’s easier to take the piss out of other people! Bless ya all. Charlie mate u smash it! Keep doing you brother

Takes me back. I'm retired. I actually retired at the grand age of 37 due to a stroke. Had my own relatively successful landscaping business. Its still in the family my fat little bro does it now. I really miss it tbf. I've probably got about half a day's work in me now. Still it's not all doom and gloom I've been really quite lucky with the stroke, ot could have been very different I still cycle 20miles a day I'd gomad without that.

am i the only one who noticed the lad in the back fall back and smoke the kia with the tire iron ? :') hahahah @0:47

Great video mate enjoyed that.

Cant argue with that. Spot on

Where did those spot boards come from??? They look sweet!!!

Do you ever use a datum peg, one in each corner, level with the Lazer level, and work your block heights to the top of each peg,to give you your dpc levels,

Thank god for the polish builders! What a bunch of doses

its great to see how you make good the levels from the foundation 👍

I would have taken a lazer level/height of the foundtion corners before starting to run block through.. But i've not got one of them fancy tool belts, I keep my tools in a bucket.

1 hour vid! nice one

When I started out on the scaffold, Rose trowel in my hand and spread mortar with a single swipe for 3 bricks and furrow the bed, grab a brick, butter a full butt joint and set the brick without dollying the brick. Swipe up 45 degrees with my Rose to clean excess mortar and check for Irises. Good old days. NYC

Great video very skilled work and hard work

Plus why would you start a corner with a 3/4 when it’s running back into the house surly you keep your corner working blocks and stick the cut up against the existing wall, I would definitely stick a tray damp in as well, looks like a nasty little gap between the existing building, start with a half brick then you don’t have straight joints ,definitely Micky mouse builders

Knock a bit of render off find existing damp datum on both corners job done 👍👍👍

Top class keep up the good work

You can tell the young lad is new to bricklaying, he's not covered in tattoos yet 😊

Documentary's now Charlie 🤣🤣👍 - Love it 😀. Is this a new venture for the BBC ? (Bricklaying By Charlie) - What will the channel be ? .....BBC Fun 🤣🤣 Worked hard, looked a treat & cleaned up really well - top job Jordan 👍👍 Hope you have a great weekend 😊 Regards Tim

Great video, I hope young people find this and get interested in the trades. Great video glad i found it.

Just found this channel and vid.... mint 👌🏼

Walks on site in flip flops and short shorts looking like a proud parents fridge 👏🏻

12:59 thats fkn clever right there

The guy's where a little disorganised at the start of the video.. but it happens, regardless of what the guy looks like i.e tattoos etc. The block work was tidy looks straight the job site was Left tidy all in all I'd say he done a nice job.

Watching Charlie lay bricks is so therapeutic to me

Top vidz bro 👌fakkin love it 👌

What a bunch of whinning unts these comments are. It's a building channel and you'd think you were judges on 'queer eye for a straight guy', ffs. He seems like a good lad and does a good job, the fact he likes his ink and Miami Vice dashion is besides the point is it not?

Imagine him turning up like that to do your extension

Flip flops on a site.. Reminds me of a time I saw a dude swing down off bamboo scaffolding in Morrocco wearing his mums pink slip on shoes with his heels hanging off the back.. Priceless

looks very tidy guys well done, not a bricky myself but do enjoy watching the trades.

Nice videos Charlie

I’d have to buy a new mixer I couldn’t listen to that all day 😂

Love the flipflops

Classy stuff Charlie

Lads on their best behaviour because Charlie’s Mrs is behind the camera... 🤔🤔

Easyer if you checked the heights before laying blocks 1st

Respect Charlie mate just watched one ov your boxing matches not only a top trowel fists like lightning 👊⚡👌respect bro 👍

Very good organisation!

I like the way you set out putting the line on the blocks. I normally put marks on the footing but everything gets in the way, will be doing it like that in future. I like to check the footing first and mark the FFL on the laser level measuring stick so I can check the footing before I start to give me the best chance of sorting out the levels. Just mark it with a pencil or tape helps as no guessing involved

Don’t worry about datums, just find the highest corner with the laser put two down tight then set the laser to that corner and bump the rest of the corners . Why is the concrete not working blockwork to dpc ??

Wow,, God Bless You Brother

bricky where did you get those springed clamps that you have clamped to the block from

what’s the line holder called mate? Looks mint

You made that one look hard work

Nice job lads !

Nice work. Did you tamp the dirt and gravel first?
