How's he having the life sucked out of him?

@@tommodobbo3475 Just generally the building trade...being surrounded by wannkers..realising there is more to life than working. He seems to be getting his balance right now. When you're young you dream of a bug business with lots of workers. Not easy finding them though.

You well look like a woman lol

@@fruitpunchbigga3251 no need for the hate lad

Be careful mate a lot of brickies use their apprentices mainly as a labourer. You need to be on the line learning

@@tommodobbo3475 I’m trying my best to get on the line! it’s just really hard when I’m looking after 2 Brickies a day as they always want something.. hopefully they try and get a new labourer so I can spend more time on it the trowel but we will see..

@@camlaneygj8246 your being used as a cheap hodie, should be at least 50/50 u need to walk.

when i started my apprenticeship i was used as a labourer and wasnt learning anything. i told the bricklayer that if i wasnt getting on the line i wasnt doing any more labouring on him .then i told him that if i wasnt being trained as a bricklayer i would be reporting him to the CITB. he went balistic , but then realised that i meant what i said. came to an agreement that i would be laying bricks more. sometimes you got to stand up.

Personally if someone else has done the muck and it comes over too wet if there's a bit of ply about I will quickly chuck half the tub on it and hopefully the bottom has a bit of stiffness to it. Both method will work...

When he was building his corner it didn't matter he only needed one end of the line up to keep it plumb to the line by eye and then he was keeping gauge using his level and eyes... Hope that helps, a year late but catching up with Charlie's vidoes

i know Im kind of off topic but do anyone know a good site to stream newly released tv shows online?

@Zakai London Thank you, I signed up and it seems to work :) I really appreciate it!

@Zain Matthias you are welcome :D

Aluminium bone head

🙈😂

At least i wasn’t the only one who noticed... didn't seem like he was doing much yesterday

😂😂😂😂

Loads of sites thrown away offcuts of ply, 12mm ply is usually the go to, wouldn't both with chipboard as the minute you start tapping ya trowel on it to get the muck off it will split it and you will get craters forming....

Just saw a reply from ye ," blown in" . Jasus that's handy. I thought they gave up on that system particularly on new builds cuz of damp issues. Ah well better for you mate just focus on getting them in . No pr#$king about with insulation . Some places take the piss, want you putting in insulation , windows and door frames , c section damp flashing, we're brickies slash windows installers slash damp guys slash insulators these days.. 😂😂

Just had a look on nhbc website and I can’t see that rule anymore, must have changed it🤦‍♂️

Yea that was an accident we wouldn’t usually do that. I looked at it after and thought what a tosser 😂 if I have to take it off it’s my own fault 👍🏻

He was just using the line to keep the bricks running straight an trapping them down with the level

@@bennyred6381 ah right i get it, cheers pal

Couldn’t be arsed to walk to the van and get it

@@CharlieCollison 😂 fair enough mate

its blown in 👍🏻

Not really the air temperature where you are is what counts as it's whether it has the ability to freeze/thaw the muck...

They normally come pre made mate

He was using it as a guide as he was just building the corner. Normally you would put up both ends of the line as you go

@@MrCharlan1 Oh OK thanks

Basically plumbs and ranges in the bricks for him, leaving him to only level each course to build the corner.

He does say he’s using it only to line up the fronts and using the spirit level to make sure the bricks are level. Reasonable if you’re only laying a few bricks on each course. Once he’s built up both corners and doing the full run in between he’ll use a level line.

No disrespect but Charlie ain't no teacher in college I did 7 years fully qualified. Takes a different approach to teach.

And

Not to nhbc standards, on site it would have to be taken down 👍

@@dylanbuxton4324 no it wouldn’t stop talking shit

Was to windy to do anymore

Depends how windy it is but I'd probably done 6 course of blocks then backed it up. The stands won't take long to move and the hoddy will do it anyway

@@jims5394 true mate

Probably blown in after

Blown in mate 👍🏻

Think he was asking him to use cut half bats around the reveals, rather than smacking a brick in half and having the rough side facing the cavity

Should have got the overworked talking hoddy to cut some. 10 bricks cut at 100mm and flipped around for other 10 as no frogs. Must be driving you mad now Charlie. It would me and most on here from comments.

Yeah, sorry about that....I was in a hurry that week.😳

Up the villa 👍

@@Jim_Newlands 😂

Happens all the time in Ireland

Charlie pin that comment and show the man some love ❤️

1st the worst 2nd the best

Much love ❤️😉

Yeah I saw that

He helps load out he lays lol he’s a fully grown bloke not some young kid mate

Is he an improver?

Try not to hit it with the trowel end of the level the head being plastic or wood isn't as bad... Brickys should check their level once a year imo with an on site level checker...

It used to be a thing not to hit the level but they are tougher and more disposable than the were. It is important not to hit the level because they are teaching you good practice. When you are good, you can decide if you hit the level or not but until then, you can see what mistakes you make and lay a better bed. If you are hitting any brick or level, you have laid to much bed. You’ll get there 👍🏻
