That pump is a nice little unit, I've often thought you need one but didn't expect such a small unit to pack such a punch.. Tidy, good work 👍👌

Hey Steve, I feel your pain. Hope you get relief soon. Might be time to train an assistant for Alex. You could spend more time pricing and organizing the jobs and less time bent over a trench. Cheers

Hi Steve, good luck with hip replacement, had my left hip done 2021 ,doc wanted to do it in 2015 it was really bad shape then. Worked with a cane the last 2 years before operation, on scaffolding, roofs everywhere. Went back to work after 3 months, got rid of the cane after 6 months visiting my daughter in Wales & took 2 years to loose the pain. I'm 65 now & still bend over & put my left leg behind me to lay the lower courses. I feel your pain.

Hi Steve and Alex it's great watching artists at work I never miss a video people who post negative comments are jealous of your talent hope you get your hip sorted soon

I feel your pain mate. I'm sat watching with my leg up. I was carrying a cement mixer with my son & a scaffolding board gave way under my left leg. I heard a big crack as my knee twisted & can hardly walk. You look after yourself pal.

Dig a small hole at the side of the footing to put the pump in, then sweep the water into the hole. No bucket required.

start of another great job nice to watch love it

Fair play for slogging it out! 💪

Marvellous. 👍

Another good wall coming along nicely

Great video lads.

Couldn’t help laughing when you started using your water suction pump at 4:02! Just imagine a pedestrian walking along the pavement from behind you and seeing that stream of water, and thinking “Blimey, what was he drinking last night!” But seriously, thanks to you both for another interesting video. Let’s hope that call comes soon to get your hip sorted Steve. Best regards gents. Stay safe and well.

Great job Steve and Alex better you'll be glad it's summer make your life easier don't have wet bricks best of luck future jobs 👍👍

Nice 👍

Wall is looking nice. Feel for you Steve, my knees are almost knackered after 50 yrs in engineering construction so I know how you feel and I don’t think I’m as bad as you. Regards, Dave

Oh Steve...I feel for the difficulty! Timing pain relief tablets to help daily work is a nightmare! Sending best wishes x

It's now time!! get it sorted. The Hip!!!!!!!!!

Awesome video thanks lads very much appreciated top job top team 🇬🇧🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 just on my jollies 😊🤠😎

Good ol boys

making hay while the sun shines or so it is said i do not mind workers working on a Sunday as you could not work in the rain it does not do you any good and when a part of your body is feeling bad then it will only get worse hopefully soon Steve you will be able to get it seen to ,thanks for the video on that beautiful morning

Oh Steve I can see your pain, its a good job that Alex is with you keeping an eye on you he is certainly your right arm . Excellent video I learned a lot that pump great seeing tat water . Moss on those bricks? must have been wet for ages !Please stay safe and and take care best regards as ever Ken

The wet dry vacuum will remove the water all the way down to moist, almost dry!

Hip replacement try your best definitely worth it

Sorry I missed this but we were doing the eclipse here, went over the house and had people over, had another heart op on Wednesday last week and doing great now, hope you get your hip done soon, you will feel like a new man

I nearly fell over, blue bright skies! Are you filming from Britain?

👍👍👍

keep up the good work lads ,enjoying the vids

Up early watching this before i go to price a job to be told i am to expensive the joys of the self employed,good job on the wall lads, quality over quantity every time,glad i don't have a bad hip it looks a right pain in the ass

Can see you’re really struggling, respect for carrying on 👍

After all the hard work you should go home and have some Liverpool Wet Nelly 😋. Nice work as always. Glad to see the little pump in action. I feel all your pain Steve my joints are all toast to but at 74 don’t want to go under the knife. Cheers mates.

Pumping to nothing, find the lowest point on the footings and dig a small 6 inch hole next to them for the pump. You must get yourselves a hose kit for it👍

Good work again lads....I feel for you Steve, hope the NHS get you sorted soon mate, I don't know how you put up with the shit weather in the UK, I left that lot behind 20 years ago, 12+ years in Southern California and now into the 7th year on the Costa Del Sol Spain, I love the dry and sunny weather, I know it ain't for everyone but I love it.....Keep on keeping on lads....Saludos desde España mi amigos.

Try a belt magnet for your Trowel Steve . I had never used one all my time in the trade . Im sure its relieved the pain in my hip . Worth a try maybe

I’ve watched a lot of your channel and enjoy your content, work ethic and skill linked with your attention to detail. I’m not connected to bricklaying but have a new appreciation of all the skills that you guys add to our lives after all we all need a roof over our heads. I’d like to comment on your hip and offer an alternative approach to the pain that blights your life and particularly the bending down. We generally say things like I’m getting old and need to expect these things, I disagree and point out that the biggest component of these joint issues is inflammation which in turn is associated with poor diet and eating foods that cause internal inflammation. Please have a look at the carnivore diet, eating only animal products, predominantly ruminant meat such as beef. Treat it as an elimination diet and see how much you can reduce your pain. This comment is well meaning and comes from a 2 year carnivore who has experienced their own positive changes.

Considering the hassle with the wet bricks that wall came up to a decent height for one session👍 Think id be thinking about my dinner from 12 onwards. 😁

Great video as always. Looking at the spot boards which one do you prefer the green gator or the black.

You will always hear, hard work won’t kill you, hmm but it doesn’t do you any bloody good

4 months of rain Steve more like 7or 8 months.we need some sun and dry weather for a while we all deserve it mate . Hip needs doing nhs letting you down mate you need help with that only so lonb you can keep going.Fingers crossed they do it for you .Nice wall boys as usual 👍🧱🧱

Nothing worse than soaking material Steve still you get there lads

its time to it best

I bet that was easier putting the block in with the block lifter

Why don't you form a sump with a bean tin when you pour the footings next time would be good to get all of the wster out then you could fill the sump hole before laying, just a thought.

I want to see a father vs son competition to see who can lay the most bricks, and whose bricks look better. Maybe opposite sides of the same wall?

do you guys have an produt page and what brang of glove you guys use i m looking for ones that are long lasting with block work how well dose yours do

Would it not be worthwhile to invest in a few cheap tarps to protect materials and work in progress from the almost incessant rain this winter?

It looks like nearly half of the face of many of bricks are stained. Will that staining fade?

🇨🇦🤓🤟

Elon, This is the way to build a garden wall properly, not like that old rubbish - one you built previously. 😁👍

Do you give a price for the wall or you give a dayrate

When are u geting u operation will alex work by him self

How do you bond the wall together without a bond or is it not needed on small wall?

You've been using the heat gun instead of a hairdryer again haven't you steve😉😉

U look like ur struggling Steve it’s a shame u haven’t got a 3rd brickie with u that can take over from u and help Alex out then u can rest up and get that op done

So what happens if you use wet bricks ?

That wrapping they put on the brick does nothing at all a little hole in it the water gets in there then ur buggered they need to sort out some sorta different wrapping around the bricks I think

What is the latest on an operation for Steve's hip? It is ridiculous that he should have to continue to suffer so much pain and discomfort due to the inadequacies of the NHS, whilst he is trying to earn a living.

Why are wet bricks a problem?

😊😊😊😊😊😊

Well done you 2 feel for you Steve but you're a plodder needs must x

Chuck a rubbish bag under your tempery trench blick save u cleaning

Could you not gone private for your hip lot of money but i dont like seeing you struggling so much i have been there pain horrible

A little help with a hoddie and you would of finished that. Your costing yourselves money.

I always try to look on the positive in most things but the amount of talking that you do is getting too much man. Almost 20 minutes from the start of the video was you talking. How many times do you need to moan about the wet bricks.

Bring it on just sayin from north of Newcastle 👍🧱.
