Smashed out another great video. Great to see everyone happy and pulling together. That's what you get for respecting people.

Charlie "I've licked worse things than a glove" Collison.

Glad to see Amy back to herself well done Amy

Learning loads watching these vids thanks guys keep up the good work

Lee’s not bad on trowel tbf to him

We are struggling at the moment with sand, the diesel mixers don’t help, we find the very first mix is good then downhill from there so we wash out a few times a day so the barrel is clean again.We always find the small belle electric mixer is best, but they ain’t no good on big sites. Great videos gang, keep up the good work.

So.... I've not watched these videos for a couple of months... so good to see Harry is still with you and its obvious he's improved a lot! Always thought from the first day he joined you he would be a quick learner and always showed that he wants to learn... good job Harry! 👊

On the issue of the mortar cement, adding some lime is a great idea. We let the sand and water mix as long as possible before we add the dry cement. Just after letting out a mix, fill the water and sand lett it mix while you use the previous mix up. Sand grains are like mini a sponge. Longer you let water soak in the better. Good job all... The very best from Ireland.

Charlie you have got such a good team! Your hard work in training has paid off with everyone. Well done Amy 👏 keep it up smashing it as always 😁

Lee is better than most of your brickeys easily get him on the trowel !

Another great video Charlie keep up the great work boys & girls 😉👌👍

Been laying bricks for 45 years. Whenever this happens I always add two cups of lemon juice. It works a treat.

Big up the A team.. Loving the videos Charlie boy. Muck is looking hell of a lot bette fairpmay. Good to see you all smiling

Bruv 2000 subz in 1 day keep up the grind bro, just started following 2days ago 💪💯

Definitely the sand, sharp sand is shit for building walls, I've had this before it's a nightmare when jointing up 😬

Good teamwork and banter Charlie really good to see u showing Amy the setting up on the profiles will benefit you in the long run but besides that it's really good of you taking the time out to explain things...

Lovely jubbly 👌🏻👍🏻

Well done Charlie 👍 Harry looks like his proper funny 😄 bloody hate footings tho 😉👍

I agree horrible sand will just slow production way down just have to say were gone unless they change to decent sand

This reminds me of the videos during first lock down era when I found ya channel mate, Amy causing havoc putting people on the spot to lay well etc hahahaha enjoyed the last few like this! Hope the muck gets better for yous!

Sounds like Johnson sand round here its almost like really fine crushed stone. Mint for 10 mins. Sets like bell iron

Nice work!

White papers a good trick to see the lines on the laser charlie👌🏻

Love Wim Hof!! Gotta give the cold showers a go next Charlie 🤙🏼

12v that’s quality 😂 love you Charlie boy 😘

It's defo render soft sand that mate had it on last site nightmare to work with

Charlie got the chop fresh out lol

Ps Charlie model number is normally found where the battery slots in or some where on the unit. I'm pretty sure I worked it out from studying your videos of you using it. Just ordered one up today 👍👍✅👌

Firty ml I fink . Good job it’s firsday !

I’ve been laying brick 33 years had the same problem with mortar myself! Got to be the sand!

You looked nice and relaxed today Charlie boy 😎

Love you video bud. Add some hydrated lime in your mix

That's sand has been washed which has taken the small fines out of it which make it course.. someone did say adding lime would help.

Charlie , put an extra 1/2 bag in it an less water extra feb sash an let it turn. The extra half bag should cream it right up.

Gang is doin good lee defo will be a good trowel keep him on the trowel Charlie

Our sand is the same mate on our new site , we just add 3 feb and a touch of washing up liquid , it works wonders lasts way longer too

If something’s a struggle it always helps to stick the tongue out 🤣 On the muck, we had a similar problem, stones in the sand and not great quality muck. We moaned like fuk for a week before someone listened, they sent someone out from the quarry coz they didn’t believe us. Turned out one of the sieves was broke at the quarry and stones were getting in, also there was a problem with the washer, basically the sand was shit they admitted to us, got a refund and new sand, no more problem.

Question Charlie - Do they have different grade of sand for footings or has the site just ordered cheap stuff?

Lee is pretty good he should be on the trowel

Top team 👍

26:58 Magic knocked the line out of place. Hope that footing was already laid. Well done though gang, making some progress. Few more months and some of the trainees will get more confident on the trail. More confident, more bricks more money.

When the batch of muck has all the ingredients mixed together try shutting the mixer off and let it sit for 5 mins. It should set up (stiffen a bit) then start the mixer add water to get your texture and see how it performs.

Is the sand crush stone. I am doing a extension with it and it’s crap

Yer mate we had a few months back, no good on price in footing we had to put up with it for days, new sand back to normal happy brickies happy y

😂😂 never thought I'd take breathing tips from ya mate...normally only bricklaying tips😂😂 Nice work today guys!

Ground worker here, recent isn’t that difficult to get them footings bang on, just takes someone to be arsed about the job

Hi, what make is the marker hou use to mark profile?

Put a bit of fairy liquid into it or get some rabbit sand or get the riddle OUT 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Thanks Amy...... Now the mrs wants a pair of pink gum boots lol

Shag is the sand like sand of beach??

Lime lime lime in the mix that what we use in Aussie land

Classic “I’ve licked worse things than a glove…” 😳😳😂😂😂😂😳😳

Had the same problem the last few weeks with Jewson’s sand and swapped to a loose delivery of building sand at a local sand and gravel pit up here in Norfolk / Suffolk border and it’s beautiful like silo muck 🥰 and lasts for ages with the smallest amount of feb in 👍🏻

Peoples houses are gonna be built onto them footings so why don’t they test the muck that’s getting used daily? Or why can’t they use silo muck?

You can lay 2 course of 4 inch on flat and bump that up then a stiff second course and smooth sailing rest of the way 👌😎

Hey if I focus on brick laying on my whole career do you think I will make a lot of money

Cos I have seen companies mixing dredged sand with good stuff before...

Try some lime in the mortar

Hey Charlie, does that laser level magnet stick to the aluminium box section aswell? I got a magnetic boat level but it dosent stick but it does to a scaffolding pole? 🤷‍♂️

This sand from what you explained sounds like recycled sand, it's like Sharp sand but not like what you would buy out the merchants and definitely not like building/soft sand. When I built my outbuilding ( rendered finish) I got 3 ton of this sand for 75quid delivered (150quid at merchants for 3 ton building/sharp sand) I used it for bricklaying and then mixed with chippings for concrete. Makes lovely concrete but like you very annoying when laying, I found myself having to knock it up often. Since then I have been using proper building sand from the merchants and it's a dream to work with! Even proper sharp sand would be better than this stuff. Anyhow I basically feel your pain, as I have used the same stuff. Ps: it's dirt cheap that's probably why the site has it over buying quality building sand from the merchants. Back to watching now 👍👍💪👊

Chuck a bit of lime in. I use it when I'm Building stonework with gritty sands.

You tried opti-mix feb? That sachet stuff is terrible

Looks like Lee could be good on the trowel.

Sands fucked mate, my muck goes through the mixer every day ,good quality building sand from Travis and enhanced cement tiny bit of Feb no probs.

Charlie can you put the name of that win hof where to get it from

Try less fab abit extra cement and longer in the mixer less water more mixing

🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱 lovely old job

Nearly got that laser level model number off you Charlie 😂😂😂

Sounds like the kind of sand youd use for rendering

Should try the Wim Hoff. Breathing before the gym, it puts more oxygen in the blood, so you ought to have a better work out.

Harry is such a lad

Always seem to Laugh when magic is on the camera 😂

Nice one gang keep going good graft 👌✅👍👊💪🌟💯🔨⚒️🤙

why don't you use brick spacing tapes?

Been doing the Wim Hof breathing and cold showers for just over a month now and it defo helps me sleep/relax. Your right about the tingling, get like 3 rounds in and my face feels mad. Longest I’ve managed is 3 minutes on the breath hold

Just done the breathing exercise, face has been tingling since the first round of it haha, feels great tho

I’m just started hod carrying Charlie any tips and tricks mate also what them clamps u use for hod carrying called mate

Wym is a gangster , that man has unlocked true potential of the brain , it’s crazy what breathing and meditation can do

when i was on the ken dodd...in summer ya had ta sneak fairy in the muck....and turn it out the mixer at EXACTLY the right moment...dont leave it churning thru tea break... i know ya not allowed it... but just pretent ya washin ya hands after a shit and sneak that lifesaving gear in the mix.... but dont tell anyone or admit it.. .. .. .

12:53 that brickwork looks terrible

13:08 why wouldnt you level that off push it up with a screwdriver or something?

Could be washed sand mate.

Did the barber drop dead half way through? 😜

Is it just me or them leggings in the background bugging the shit out of haha Love ya videos by the way mate keep it up man

Charlie we’ve got the sand aswell mate, it sounds like there is crushed granite in the composition. Absolutely bollocks

12V ….Quality

Toms coming along loads, he'll be flying them down soon!

All sand is shit now days, you can’t find soft building sand no more. Plus when it’s 3-1mixs it goes off to quick

Lee for the trowel. Don’t suppose he fancies the packet of peanuts a week that apprentices get these days

Harry looks really young but he has gray hair, how old is he?

You miss the silo

Hoddy lee needs to get off the hod asap he can lay
