Thank you from Florida. I am getting back into the trade and wanted to brush up on some things. This helped. I am a lady as well. You rock darlin!

Fair play to you ,most girls would run from this type of work never mind learning it as a trade 👍

Finally a video for labourers . Well done. Good work!

Best video about labouring so far. Thank you. And keep making videos like that.

You're a fantastic incentive for more women to enter the building trade.

When I was a hod carrier I just used a hod all the time as it changed a lot now on the building site good on you for trying to be a labour

You've been trained very well- a key person on site- well done.

Labourer here. Good tips but will point out that this is from a staged video from a bricklayers perspective and quite often a bricklayers idea of what can reasonably be done, even at speed, is almost never in line with reality. Most bricklayers will have laboured at some point in their lives and in short bursts will be able to show you some top class labouring but there’s not a single labourer on gods green earth who is able to, in a 2 (or 3) in 1 on a housing site, able to load out, fetch compo, refill the compo tubs, restack, chop halves, clean the scaff, scrub down the spot boards, locate all of the tools and gear around the scaff, clean the brickies tools, joint up, scape the cavities, scrub the buckets spotless, for 40-45 hours a week (Without breaking so much of a sweat). It’s impossible and I haven’t seen a single labourer do it yet without something somewhere having to give. Best way to understand brickies is like when your talking to your old man and he tells you he used to walk 8 miles to and from school, in 4 foot of snow and it was uphill both ways. Take it with a pinch of salt.

I believe the thing about females and pull-starts is purely psychological. I've been over this with my wife so many times, I pull the pull start with two fingers (and I'm by no means a strong guy) to show her you don't need to be strong to start the mower. Finally I told her I'm not cutting the grass any more, so she started to mentally apply herself to the problem and now she starts it every time. Women can do pull starts if they need to!

This is really good! Excellent tips thank you.

I’d love to see my wife do this . Your like a breath of fresh air and show what life’s all about . Well brickies life’s 😂

I just applied good to see another female to give tips 👍

I’ve never been so in love with a stranger beautiful great style great work ethic just perfect

I was on the Hod for a year. Trick is too always get in front of the bricklayer makes it easy for yourself. It’s hard graft not easy at all

I've been laying bricks for 58 years i love my job and do you know what labourers used to get bricks and mortar to bricklayers labourers were called hoddies and a hod was carried on there shoulders they were unbelievable workers some would carry 25 to 30 bricks they were unbelievable workers

Very neat thank you 💐

fantastic info

Bravo 👏

I wouldn’t advise putting a full bucket of mud next to their full boards, it’ll dry out and get hard fast!

Thank you for this video it has some great tips! I have just applied for a bricklayer apprenticeship and it's great to see another female absolutely smashing it!

well done lad, Ur mindplace is infront all the time! greetings Bricky from Denmark ;) nice content!

Nice Vid. Beautiful horse. 👍😁

Great video, some tips there for young labourers

Been a bricklayer over 20 years my father run a 3/1 squad back in day he was the Labour but he was boss told were they were moving different times now breed different hard to he's a decent labourer but respect

Great video Good luck getting most brickies taking up a bucket of muck 🤣

Great video very helpful

Realy good labour!😊

Seen one UK. She was heatcutting & carrying! costr rail! Steel! Your posture! Still impressed.

Yeh peeps make sure you clean your buckets lol fair play great video

Well done. One question why have you not got loading bays on the scaffolding? When I was on the hod many years ago a lot of it was ladder work but it’s now 2021. Great job though 👏

awesome video thanks for the info

Mix the bricks!!!! So may new builds look like there've had repairs, gable ends replace or corners. Pet hate great video. 👍🛠 🐎

When starting a mixer always have the drum facing up makes it alot easier to start.

Fair play you’re better than 9 out of 10 labourers I’ve worked with

That was really interesting

Nice video pal 😎

4:10 Lovely. I'd definitely consider using a (power)hose to clean stuff, all the scrubbing may be good for the guns but why not make your life easy.

When you clean the mixer out try putting a spade of little stones in it works wonders, the bricks work fine but do alot of damage to the blades inside over time. Just a little tip I got from an old boss

good advice there young lady

It's all in the speed of the pull for those engines. If you can get it down to a faster pull in the first 2 thirds of the rope you'll get it started easily every time. it's not the length the rope is pulled out really but the speed of it is the important part. The same with the wingit though they are quite a pig till keep turning over the cranking handle at the speed required to start them certainly from a cold start.

Where do you empty barrow when youve youve cleared the mixer and emptied into barrow?

If you were a farmer, you'd be outstanding in your field!! Great job!!

An eight sand to half cement ratio? Do you ever use lime? I heard a 6:1:1 ratio was good.

5:40 ....That's a granny stack! 😁

I'm a 45 male here in the US when I was younger I was a laborer for awhile. And to me a good prepared laborer pretty much has all the same tools as a bricklayer does. I had just as many tools as they did. levels... trowels... Jointers.... Band cutters... wire cutters... A large claw hammer.... a 2 pound sledge. That way if it's ever needed I can actually jump up on the wall and do whatever they want me to do to help. whether it's just jointing the wall or all the way to laying a few brick and block

I still use my hod, don't see many using them on these videos use them brick clamps, don't really like them. Good hoddie needs to be organised. 👍👍Good video thoe. 👌👏😊💯

Sending respects,,jeeps look into Roman Fly Ash bricks and muck. It might just do over cement in the future 🔮.

You are aware a pink high vis isn't regulated by HSE it's only orange or yellow.

Hi please don't take this personally but you talk about how to be a labourer but until the end you never wore a hard hat or hi Vis which are the two most important things to get across, stay safe 🍻🙏🙏🙏

I’ve had to stop at 3:00 because that’s like soup, just start with half a bucket of water and just let it mix, rather wait 10mins for good gobbo then using soup and losing more than 10mins.. Floorboards are back breaking, rob highers off your ground workers 🤷

tips for temporaries, hints for helpers, more mortar, line up,

💪🏻

How am I seeing this after 1 year bloody awsome I was 16 when I started I prefer blocks and with bricks I have to use 2 clamps I don't like the 400 series especially on friday

Very hard job

omg in 30 years I had only ever heard of labourers doing this, I have never seen it. If you ever want a job call me

How longs your day work wise

I used to carry 16 brick in one hand up the ladder in my 20s 8 brick in each clamp, Labourers so underated and under paid

What a little wheel barrow a child could push it, use 2 6 pack grabs instead of 1 because your going to over work one side of your body that might cause injury dont walk them bricks up the scaffolding like that throw then up faster less energy used and raise them mud boards to little below waist height your brick layers will start looking like hunched back of nostradam in a few years

A would kill to have a labourer like you -_- Pay all the money....

Im 22 and I want to get into bricklaying but have no idea where to start. I’m in the situation of wanting to switch careers but I can’t afford to be out of work for a year to do a course in it so I don’t know how to get my foot in the door 🤷🏻‍♀️ any advice??

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

Keep 'alternetting' those brick stacks. Whatever you do with them.

Bricky and a horse rider cool

Класс!👋👋👋

Please I'm looking for job masonry. I live in Nigeria please help me

cut bags with an old saw

Fook me they worked out a way to put their trowels on a belt💀

The front of the brick is called a frog

Point 1 of how to be a labourer: don't pay any attention at school. Do not attend school.

Wrong way to load out at 5.35 as every brick when laid will have to be turned around......always load out with frogs faced up same as when using a hod always load the bricks with frog facing the back of the hod so when tipped off shoulder they're frog up.

Send it

That helmet and hi vis aint up to regs

Spot boards on the floor not good.

интересно у вас там только в пол кирпича кладут ?

Working starter, not harder.

How come no Englishmen never uses a shovel to distribute muck or shake it up??

private job, no brick guards ok xxxx

I'm sorry but the brickie can take his tools with him or her when they have finished.They are not royalty...lol.

Finally, got that gender wage gap sorted........nice work

Sorry dear you make hod carrying look hard just get wheel barrow fill it up throw bricks up on to scaffolding them stupid brick clamps slowest way especially when I see wheel barrow there and you walked past it with brick clamps I had to laugh. I’ve been hod carrying since 1977 and I’m still on hod now at 65

Forgot to wet your barrow 🙃

Are u sure, 😂

No1 is always laugh at there dumb unfunny jokes and sarscam 😅.

I have never seen a old style mixer on sites in NE ? Its always delivered ready mixed and turned out into mortar tubs

First of all I was the best to ever do it...never be anyone as good as me!I'd prefer the word hoddy.nobody tops up muk with a baby trail.if you put abit of water in your bucket empty it than bang the muk in it your find it won't stick to the bucket.don't need to scrape the mixer.it will come.don't leave a bucket of muk by the side of the spot boards you can just spread the muk about.best way to be the best is to think like a bricklayer.nobody carry 6 bricks a time.i was doing 20 bombs back in my time.2 buckets a muk a time and 4 blocks a time.plus all the pointing...everything.up the ladder all the time no forklifts.what a true sparton I was.

Tender, not laborer.

Basically your not talking about a Hod carrier your talking about a babysitter whose at your beck and call it’s surprising you bricklayers can actually breathe for yourself and for cleaning the bricklayers tools do 1 unbelievable

"labourer" being a complete slave to lazy brickys....nah thanks

Those are the cleanest ppe

She makes it look like such an easy job when it couldn't be farther from the truch. Ahes got it easy cause she probably a Masons wife. I diddnt even have a ladder. Step if the sides of the scaffold with 2 brick tongs load the bricks jump back down get a shovel of cement for each board and throw it up. After thant back on the cement and brick never ending struggle of getting att that shit up and the bricks go up
