  • nice work, but why are you laying frog down ?

  • The New brick work matches the existing house.

    The bed joints are marked and indicated on a profile. Some may be thinner beds than others.

    Also The day this was built it was fairly hot. The bricks are very absorbing. It is sometimes better to lay frog down in certain circumstances. I dont like beating the brick down on cement that is drying qiuckly. (As the saying goes..lay them and leave them.)

    Hope this helps answer the question.

    Kind regards

    Daniel

  • yeah defo some school boy errors in that demo mate..

  • Even the fly at 1:16 was pissed at that last brick you laid!!..

  • I'm going to ask a dumb question: When you get finished with each row of bricks do you move the string up? And, what is the string attached to? I don't know a thing about brick laying and any answers will help.

  • Nice work mate. Neat and tidy, just how a Flemish Bond should look.

  • pretty shoddy,frogs up always.hot day!!!?.spread a shorter bed.one brick at a time if need be.

  • frog up for strength,

    

  • @SAMJE123456 Hi mate,who's getting £250 a day?The guy in the video?Also well said,most C.O.W's are tradesmen so they can spot these things very easily.

  • @xxHarveyMoonxx No my friend you are not too fussy,thats what perfect brickwork is all about.Our teacher used to say"Look for good enough and you'll get rubbish.Look for perfection and you'll get good enough"Well spotted Harvey,no C.O.W would accept this work.Why Daniel is putting it up for all to see is beyond me.

  • Flick joint much my boss would go nuts if he saw me doin that
