I disagree. Initially yes but branching out and becoming a multi skilled tradesman opens up many more job opportunities and greatly relieves the monotony of laying bricks every day.

honda cr 250 hrc best comment yet 😂😂😂

🤣🤣w comment

Probably an EASTERN EUROPEAN

I think you’ll find that the model is set out so there is a cut in the wall on purpose. And obviously you’d put the cut under the window as is standard procedure when building a house. But you already knew that didn’t you... 😂😂

Lol. What a load of bollocks. You know nothing about bricklaying. Never would you put a half in a wall. NEVER! And CITB would never encourage this. It's very simple. The bond on one corner needs reversing. He's set out incorrectly and failed this part of the exam. A half in a wall? For Christmas sake.

@@MrOitoyboy you cut out a cut under the window but you put 7" pieces nobody notices. Even 4 or 5 in one course.

Mark Chamberlain wrong you literally need a qualification to do it now

Till you're laying brick at 15°F

Hugh Supersonic ?????

Best of luck to ya, at the time I type this you should be a second yr apprentice. I just hope they didn’t stick you on the saw all day for those two years.

You got that right Most of Americans have No idea what a mason is. I know because I am one

stewart hughes a lintle (not sure of spelling)

Andrew Bobbin cool, thanks for the info!

Magic of the elves

I hit my level everyday lol

Yup that true lol.

Scrumpy Jack Lol I’m a brickie and when at college fucking hell if u hit the level and the teacher saw or heard my god you knew it. Stop hitting that bastard level lol. Also always had a good laugh too. Some times we had a mortar fight. And always some lads slower then others go ask for the long weight LOL good old days

L F so you think wife beating and hitting women is acceptable? Pathetic excuse for a male.

@@Fromupnorth46 Yea especially when the woman hits the man first , women want equal rights so sometimes they get equal rights. .

Thats called a breeze block.

It's about manufacturing that's why wall tiles aren't 4ft sq you would have breakage and tolerance issues

@@goodie54321ag Thanks

In my country about 20 years ago they introduced a clay brick that was about 25% bigger. We used them on a couple of houses. For whatever reason after a few years they stopped making them. A downside for the brickies was the builder expected to pay the same per thou price for the laying. Maybe that’s why they stopped making them because the brickies were not interested in being paid the same piece rate yet having to handle bigger bricks with bigger upright joint surface area.

You decide you've seen what they have to do. Hard for some, easy for others depending on your understanding and if youre capable

Demolition skills test

At my school we took it down ourselves.

Spell the course correctly would be a start

Apply at a college. Anything above level 2 has to be done on site so you to be employed. If youre over 19 you have to pay yourself, maybe get a lian as uni students have to.

@@jamiebenwells2890 an arrogant smart arse like you should know, theres no requirement to spell correctly or have good grammar in any vocational qualification. (Assuming YOU have one). The certificate is for bricklaying, not english grammar. That would be a GCSE, O or A level, all academic qualifications.

Nope... Frog up for structural strength

No it can be either bricks used to have two frogs frog down is easier to adjust without brick rolling 40+ years experience ok

@@goodie54321ag It’s frog up 🐸

British brickies are saught after in various european countries, spain and germany for example hire brickies in from england lol, and in australia there are many companies specifically advertising in the UK for our brickies to go over and work there... British brickies are world renound for being quality bricklayers... so where the fuck you got that opinion i dunno lol.

PaddleDogC5 it's actually designed in to the test!

Put 3/4 under a window I’d ok

@@kierenboimufc5940 trust me 😂😂 it's the perps that threw him or the setting out

Michangelo carved elaborate details on the backs of statues when the backs of those statues would never ever be seen by the public. Do it right, not to a standard you can get away with.

Chill

rzl dzl - Come down to site and try managing progress of the job, when brickwork has to be taken down and redone, time after time, because the bricklayers lack the skills and experience needed to do a proper job. Or come down to a housing estate a few years after construction, when walls are crumbling and stained with mortar and excessive efflorescence due to inadequate bricklaying practices. This real and serious problem only exists because people have the irresponsible can’t be ar*** ‘chill’ attitude to life. How ‘chill’ would it be if a defectively built wall falls onto a child?

@@Benzknees I'm a career Mason my friend. I do manage new guys. The owner of the company I work for puts them with me. Because I'm chill, and can bring them along ;) have a great Sunday sir

rzl dzl - Okay, well that’s good, if you can pass on your experience and patience to them and check they’re not making any mistakes. But I’m just relating my own decades of experience of seeing way too many examples of sub-standard work, which is in no small part due to poor training and a lack of supervision. So it annoys me to see tradesmen (or should that be tradespersons) being presented as qualified after completing a college course.
