Thanks Chris, you've help give me confidence to try my own projects. Just finished 50ft retraining wall with steps in vintages bricks. Super pleased with it.

Top quality as always Chris. Love to watch your work.. I’m a plasterer/ bricklayer.. So doing it at work then watching at home.....lol.. Like to learn new ways . Master craftsmen:-)

Looks a lot better, good job Chris.

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.

Excellent vids have learned do much from ya tks

What ever you do youre self you do better then anyone else, sometimes you make mistakes but you grow into it.. Keep on going and enjoy what you do

Looks good, like it’s always been there 👍

Looks great!

That's a hell of a high step to get in an out of that house!

brilliant

Nice job Chris 😉👍

Great video

Good stuff 👍👍👍👍

I loved the Music.

Nice one sir

How deep is your foundation ? looks a bit shallow for a brick pillar, I thought the foundation for a heavy brick pillar should be much deeper and wider. what is your thought about it ? thank you

Nice job Chris. Surprised there no need for temporary prop or jacking up where roof may of sagged?

How deep was that hole? How thick was the cement blow the bottom brick?

proper job ! well done chris , not like these other tossers whap bang wollop price work jordie cowboys

This is the exact project I need but I have no brick on my house, do I dare do this using cinder blocks? no rebar?

If you don’t mind me asking Chris Do you do more domestic than site based? If so how long have you being working for your self for?? Is it hard on your own? Cheers :-)

another stonker. I decided to watch this, rather than grand designs. keep it up.

Nice job Bro I'm still learning from you up in Scotland hope all is well

01:07, the car in the garage failed it's MOT in January of this year on two rear coil springs, repaired and passed so OK until next January, great video.

Nice pillar but I would have cast a new slab reused the post and clad with timber, personal choices.

Are the piers structural?

Does a column need a damp proof course ?

Tidy job Chris.

nice one chris......not bad for so called amateurs!! 🤣🤣👍👍

What's the make of your cutter

Great work as always, just a reminder you can't plumb both ends of a brick

God save us from such incompetence!!!!!!! A 1Brick structural column requires a minimum of 450x450x450mm Gen1 concrete cube set at a formation level of 600mm below ground level. Under NO circumstances should stone be placed under the foundation concrete as it WILL subside. The column should be built with Class B eng bricks up to 150mm above ground i.e. 4 courses o/a and thereafter with selected facing brick. The column should not have been constructed in a single lift but in two at least. The steel column was taken out without any temporary support. Even if the porch roof holds itself up, by the time the brickwork reaches roof level the roof structure will have sagged a little, which will be the final position as the brickwork sets. At least use an acrow to temporarily support the roof. I would instantly condemn any construction shown here on any of my sites

Isn’t it a bummer when you are knocking pegs into good ground and you hit it too hard and you can’t get the bleeder out 😂😂😂

Fair play not an easy job with those bricks, tidy

NOT THE MOST EASIEST OF PIERS TO BUILD . MAYBE PROFILES COULD BE USED , GREAT WORK ,

you could have used a nice straight bit of 2x2 as a profile when building, with gauge marks on it, gauging down from the top. Pretty good end result though you were kneeling on the floor at the start, and working in the rain with no coat, the making-good at the top still ended with some unnecessary ugly beading with a suggestion that the gauge was iffy, which it wasnt, I would have screwed a butterfly tie into the canopy and bricked the last course around it, but I like the look of the pillar at the end, great brick match although they are not engineering bricks the first 10 bricks could have been. I think I would have propped the roof to see if it naturally wanted to push up a few mm to help with a tight snug fit at the top

You can’t build a 1 brick pier as the bricks are not the same size , also the marks on the bricks are called feathers and you build them down .

Nice work, but please correct the title: pier, not peir.

1 brick pier mate..

plumbing both sides of a brick 🤷‍♂️
