 I think that's it. We're good to go. Super Chat? No, we're not. We're 19 seconds to find out if we've got anybody. Well, I'll put it up on the story. Have we hit 15,000? Well, we're 1525 now. Okay, good. It's because we've titled it 15,000 Special. Well, I had no intention to do it tonight, but we're 15 today. Right? Let me just check that it's all good on the actual YouTube. Right, so YouTube. I don't know if this is working or not. Why? Because we've got a blank one right here. Well, this isn't coming up. I don't know if this thing is disabled. You know that this actual thing isn't showing up? Yeah. That's there, but I don't know what that is. Well, that's the original idea. That's the screen shot I did. I thought we did delete it? Yeah, I thought we did. Until it's on there. No, this is my YouTube. Oh. So how come it says it's live on yours? That means going. It's all listed. It needs to be public. You've put it on private. Oh, shit. No one can see it. Publish, and then get rid of that one. There we go. Now it's coming up. Are we in? Yeah, get rid of that one. Well, that took us long enough, but we're actually live now, and that isn't something we know you're after. That goofy looking thing. We've never learned, do we? No. We are live. I've done about six now, and that's one's worse than ever. Yeah, it's the worst one, but we are live. Go find us on YouTube. Yeah. Hopefully see you there. Yeah. We need some regular spotters now. We need to fix the camera angle too. Ideally. In fact, can we not lean it against the Mac? Yeah. Spin the Mac around and lean it up. I'll put my Mac on. I'll put some stuff at the side. I'll use my phone for that. I'll switch it off then. I see my methods now. We just need someone to chat to us now then. I think we can start off by saying hi. Yeah, hi. Yeah, we're at 15,000 today. At lunchtime, I think. We've had a bit of a run, subscribed lately. Which is great. The last two videos have done really well. Thanks to a bit of a three hour chat we've had with Ian. Yeah. He sorted us out and gave us some great tips. And there's another guy I've been talking to, and he's been very offered to, but he's just told us we're live. We've been live for about five minutes, so now it tells us. Same old issue. We tried doing it on the Mac with a pre-setup one. That has never worked for us so far. So we've spent ages trying to fix that. Then we thought let's just do it on the iPad and make it quick. Got it set up on the iPad until we realised it wasn't listed. So we were sat there for ages like, no one's coming. Because it wasn't for everyone to see. Good job Rick Lane's not this hard. That's what I tell you. I don't get how you run a YouTube channel. I know. He actually does nothing. I don't do anything. Believe it or not. Well, welcome everybody. We just thought since we've hit 15,000, we'd just have a little chat. Yeah. Catch up. Just had a big thunderstorm, but it's nice outside. Yeah. And then we've got 26 people in. Oh, someone's put a light on. Four people put a light on. So there's 23 people on the light. So keep that light button for us. And then some more fire questioners. Don't make it too hard. It's been a long weekend. So it took us a year to get it from 10,000 to 15,000. So it's been a slow year, but the last 100 or so are coming really quick. Which is great. It's really made up with. I'm on a solar job tomorrow, breaking up a doorway into a window. And we're starting a little job in New Zealand. Me and Alex doing some rubbish brickwork out of the garage. I'll show you a picture of it, actually. It's hard to explain. The picture's better. Looks terrible. Yeah. You keep talking while I have a look. Kind of where I put it. It won't be that far away, will it? I think it was a while ago when I took the picture. All right. I thought you took one reason. When I went to price it. All right. Well, yeah. It's not that far back. Yeah. It's what he's looking for. Essentially, they've got the garage replaced, haven't they? They've had it not replaced. It's a bungalow, no bungalow, but they've had it extended a lot. And the garage was an extension. It's all bungalow re-skin now, with all these multi-rush sticks and ice brick. But when he got to the garage, instead of knocking everything down, he just went over what was already there. There's the camera. So, here's the new brickwork. And that's what they left in. Have we had people talking to us, and we've not been able to see it? Yep. There you go. That's how good we are at this channel. We can't even see the chat. So, sorry for ignoring you. Anyway, there's the picture. I'm going to catch us up on the chat right now. And there's the other part of it. So, basically, we've got to prop it up. Take all this out. These are all re-rush sticks, but they've been painted. So, prop it up, take it all out, and make it all good. Right down to ground level. Customer hates it. So, we're going to resort that out for them. I mean, actually, we don't need skips on this one. I've discovered that grab wagons take hardcore. So, sorry. So, we can get rid of this. Cheaper than we can with a skip. So, that's Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Shall we catch up on the chat now? Yeah, go on. So, Bob the Brickie. Bob the Brickie. Pay your bills. And... Put 10 Bob in the meeting. And punk you fresh. Well done for 15 subscribers. Well done for 15K. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you to everybody, old and new. Yep. And hello, your what's new. All right. Hello. That sounded like a right pensioner. And Mark Green, well deserved. Thank you very much. Thanks, Mark. Andrew Bell. Hi. Thanks for all the videos. I'm now building my own extension. And they're so helpful. Couldn't do without them. Oh, great. Well done with your project. That's what we're trying to do. Be helpful. Get on Instagram and get some pictures up so everybody, and if you get stuck, asks people on Instagram. You get instant replies then on Instagram. Yep. Thank you. I'm Peter Scouse. Good evening, lad. Hope you're all good. Good evening. We're doing well. Thank you. Hope you're doing well. Ben Feeney. Feeney, I think. Feeney. Did you watch the football? Oh, I did. Well, not exactly big on football, to be honest. I watched Paul Blackmore Cup. But we had the golden score because the neighbors were watching it. Oh, yeah. We could hear when they scored. I was watching Emperor's New Groove. Yeah, we knew all the girls. And Nia, congratulations on 15K. Well deserved. Thank you, Nia. Learning about construction from your channel. Thank you very much. Thank you for playing. And Jason Cowell, have you got plenty of your own work? As you said, you were fed up with site work now. That's another thing we want to talk about tonight is the house is finished. Pikes are finished. But if you watch the videos of the house, there's a front bit where the front door is. There's a little bit of a lean-to to build a brickwork pike and a blockwork pike, both sides. And then the party was going to go up. And then, so while I'm doing that, Alex is going to be in the two houses patching, because we're patching money on each house. So we're going for the day, get it all done, get paid, and walk away. We're not going back. Tell them to. Yeah. We're sick of being chosen like dickheads, basically. Which is what they've done to us for 12 months. In 12 months, we've had one house to build from scratch. And we've been offered, we've been told we're getting about six plots and they just keep getting taken away from us. So we're all right with the slow gang, but at least we give a shit what we're doing. And the house looks nice, because some of the stuff going up on there is horrendous. But they want fast, not neat, which is very unfortunate, but we've had enough. So we've got plenty of work at the moment, but we're going to have to start being more proactive and finding work, not just waiting for it to come to us. We're going to have to start, which I've never had to do before, but it's about surviving now. I don't think it's going to be our full-time. And it'll probably make it more interesting videos because there's going to be more different jobs instead of just like going back up and down the line. Yeah. They're Richard Long... No more tantrums either now. Not as many anyway. Richard Long's long. Dick Long's long. Oi oi. Ed Jordan, love your... Ed Jordan. Yeah, Ed Jordan. Love your channel and keep up the good work. Thank you very much. Thanks, Ed. Fish and bricks. Hey, he's got a channel. Yeah? Yeah. Evening, guys. Long time follower, first-time commenting. Well done on the 15k, you guys top notch. Really enjoy watching your jobs after a hard day's graph. Keep them coming. Thanks very much. Thank you very much. Do you appreciate it? We do. I'll take it. I like fishing. Or I just like fishing chips. Jay Don, hey guys. How old is Alex? I am 21. Soon to be 22. I wish you... Less than two weeks. Yeah. Love the brick. Again, great following you lads. Thank you very much. We appreciate the following. It's been... It's been a steady... It's been three years in the making but we got there at the end. Three years, yeah. Yeah. Jay Don, love the channel. Thank you very much. Yeah, Jay Don. Tell all your friends. Bent being again. Have you ever thought about adding more men? Definitely not. No. No. I find it hard to manage myself. I find other people. Yeah. And he can't ring up and say, I'm not coming in today. I'm not feeling very well. I just go and drag him out of bed. It's just simple as it is. I know it's... I can do that with stress. And I hate being let down by people. No matter the times you see people just not turning in. You can't be bothered. I've had a hard night the night before. You've watched Charlie Cohn's videos. No matter the times he's been let down by people. I just couldn't be doing that. I've had labours in the past. You've done that to me. And until Alex started with me, I did seven years in the foundations on my own. Because no one can let you down on your own. Although it's not going to be up at the end. It's the pressure as well. It's like you said. You're in four or five people's wages. You've got to make sure you're in all those wages. Yeah. We're too slow apparently. I'd be too short. People just walk all over me. So it's not worth the hassle. Yeah. Neil Smart, well done lads. Thank you Neil. Jeff Shearer. Good afternoon. Afternoon. Afternoon. Slash evening. Good morning. Good day. Wherever everybody is. Wherever you're on the world. Happy 4th of July. Does anyone in from America? Yeah. Happy Independence Day. I'm sure it was over there myself. Jay Done again. We're too good for the same work. They want rough lines like Archer. Hey, there's some great, I mean, if you ever see Derby Brit work on YouTube, the stuff they chain out is just, it's spot on. Yeah. Big gang. Super fast, but super neat. Really neat. Well, you get a load of neat people on site. Oh yeah. Yeah, let's see. It's taking ages catching up. We must have had the wrong thing set up on the iPad. We must have had everything wrong. Fish and bricks. Good. Good on your site. Work has gone downhill big time. They'll soon be crying out for brickies and then we can make the rules. Yeah. I hope so. Well, at least we can work shorts now and not be fully watching our backs. Yeah. Not be told off by the shorts, lads. Health and safety. Don't know wearing shorts is health and safety related. Yeah. Or just a vest. Well, you're not allowed to wear a vest. Well, when I'm going to press charge if I get it someday, it's going to be real. Terrence O'Connor, nice one boys. Love your videos. Very simple but effective. Keep going. That's the wage plan yet? Yep. You can't expect to be too fancy with brickwork, can you? With a bricklaying channel, I mean. Well, no. It's just very straight to the point, isn't it? We're laying bricks. Yeah. That's the plan. Pete Allen. Well done, Pete Allen. Well done, 15k, living all the videos and still got the... WHS. WHS. Oh, really? Oh, every time. I've got a few jobs lined up. Keep going, lads. Do a great job. Thank you very much. I've got a... I know everyone sees the Ox Trail but I've actually got a Marshall Trail Trail. Haven't cleaned it yet. So has Alex. He's got a narrow wound in the other handle. Yeah. What's that got to do with? He's got the WHS trying out. Oh, is that what it... Right, I see. Well, when we had our little chat with Odeon, he gave us a load of stuff. Lines. Gave Alex a nestering hammer. And three trails. He gave us a... It'll come back to me in a minute. But he gave us a WHS, which I fancy having to go at. And Alex is going to have another deal in London. Marshall Town. So we'll see how they go. Rows. He gave us a rose trail at 11 each fairly. Yes. Horrible. I'll never use it. Oh, no. It's all wrong. Sorry, we're already into here. Oh, no. He knows that it wasn't true. Oh, OK. OK, Odeon. Do I have a girlfriend? Work a night. Thought thought of, yeah. Situationship. Long distance. Yeah. Work a night. How's I not? Does it recover? Congrats on 15K. Oh, the tape measure. Yeah. I've just... I've gone back to talking. I've got a girlfriend, by the way. She's called Christine. We've been together for 30 years. You've got to put your ring on, never mind. So, you know, he's been covered. Yes. The site we're on, don't care about quality. There's a lot like that, yeah. What was the... What site was it? It was... Cacheful, wasn't it? What they said? Rather have a shit brickies and them brickies and all. Yeah, I'd rather have a crap bricklayer than no bricklayers. That was the... Which is a very terrible mindset to have. And they were like 250 up to 450,000 pound houses, big houses. Well, that was the site where all the face work had to get stripped off. It was that bad, yeah. Yeah. We took it down from Chamber. We said that story before, I think. Yeah. But that's how bad it... That's how bad the mindset is up here. Let's see. It's a mark. Oh, it's a mark here. A mark here. There it is. All right, Mark, let's... Are you standing by the end? No, we're actually on mark now. I got bloods, thanks, and they share Alex a little bit. Thank you very much. Hey, Mark. What about mine? It's like I keep saying you got it up with style. You can't sell it. I'm trying to sell these. I could buy them from Asdor and resell them. These are a really thin button-up. So, one, it's the perfect aesthetic and it's nice and thin in this bloody weather. I've been walking around the house like a Hawaiian dad with just my button-up open don't have any shorts on. Do you ever have language barrier problems on site like we do down in London? Not up here. No, just between each other. When you've got the bloody headphones and money and I'm on the wrong side. It's like, Alex, Alex. Oh, and you've got both of them in. Yeah, we don't really have many foreign workers up here, do we? No. Because obviously down south there would be a lot more diverse up here. Not really. We mainly have three northern up here, isn't it? The only foreign lads who have seen up here are like the rendering gangs. I feel like a gang of them. I'm not sure where they're from though. Cracking workers though. Yeah, but no. Up to this point, I've had no language barriers. Jay Don been a lovely girl. Gleason don't understand when I say you owe me some money. Do you find that hard to grasp? Yeah. They don't understand that language. They don't talk respect. No. Woody, hi guys. Happy days to both of you. Happy days to you too. Cheers, Louis. That's probably why you're still there, geez. Mark, happy game. Fantastic 15k. Cheers, Mark. Andrew. Paul. You can also forgive me for this. Paulie. I think so. Forgive me if I got that wrong. Well done, Mark's doing great. My channel has 45 subscribers. Hey. I was good once. We did once. Yeah. PewDiePie had 45 once. Yeah. Exactly. Like 70 million now. Roy Fox. I almost said Rocky Foxy then. Great video lads. Have you ever fallen out with a customer? Yeah. The house builder just jacked from. Well they aren't customers are they? Well we were working for them. We fell out with... Customers pay it. We fell out with neighbours of customers. Well they fell out with us. Yeah. We don't fall out. We fell out with a... No, we fell out with that person who we were doing the pillars for. Remember we went around doing all the pillars? Oh we didn't fall out with them. We just said we're not putting the tops on because we were... I don't know. On site. We went around doing all the Shakespeare pillars and he just attacked us. A despicable person that. Absolutely terrible. Yeah. That was just the media work for Wayne Holmes. Yeah. And we had no works. He gave us his remedial work. And this fella took exception to working in his front garden. Even though we were fixing the front of his house. I feel like it's left a little and fallen. Yeah. Steve, would you auction off one of your trials? Then... Maybe that'll be... Dude, what do you want one? That'll be our 20k special salesman trials. Yeah. I've only got two. The ends fell off one of them. Which is the ox floor. The bumper cap on the end. It just falls off. And every time it falls off, I say to Alex, remind me I'll glue that tonight when I go home. I still never glued it. We found it all kinds of places, haven't we? Yeah. And the old one, we've lost it. Jadon, again. Well done, Steve. We do everything right just fast. Good. JP, what do you... A lot of people say you can't be fast and neat. Which is rubbish. What do you think of John Lewis' announcement? What do you think of John Lewis announcing they were moving into house building? Didn't know that. I didn't know that either. This is good quality as the shop in the game. They had this album. It'd be good stuff. It goes in. We've got a lot of shops to get rid of, haven't we? Spending money on something else. Ozzy Gurung. Welcome Ozzy. Andrew Bell, where are we based? Lancashire. Lancashire. Sort of midpoint between Liverpool and Wiggy. That general area. Darren Harlow. Hi guys, not on Briggy, but love your videos. Thank you very much. That means a lot. Yeah. At least know that not just... Just trade people. Just the trade people enjoy our stuff. Jaydon Midlands. No foreign gangs. No. Bill with an A down there. Just a bit south of the Midlands. Don't worry. Barry Manlow. What time do you start in the morning? Any morning. It depends on the job, really. When we used to work on site, like... You're about half a second. 40 minutes away? Yeah. When we used to travel to work, we used to set off half six and get there early. So I could sit there and have a coffee and chill out after the horrible journey to work. So we'd use some time to get to work at 10 past seven. Whereas Charlie's wasn't scaffolded at 10 past seven. We'd just sit and wait until eight o'clock. Now, we're just pretty, we're very local. I think the furthest... That was a bit of a skill for me. Probably six miles of that. Yeah. Just turned up at 10 to eight o'clock. So since we stopped doing the foundations, it's an hour a day, every day, in bed longer and less hassle and no more traveling, which makes a massive difference. Don't miss the travelling. Yeah. And always also say congrats to 15K. Thank you, Barry. Jim Stout. What's your view on new builds? What's the practices going on that cause you to raise your eyebrows? Currently sat in a 14 month old house. Yeah, we don't mind new builds. We'll have to do a video on our issues that we had. This is built by the builder who we've just left. Yeah. And we got away pretty likely early. So we had to wait three months for a shower because the shower cubicle was wrong. Missing door, socket's hanging off the walls. This is all after the final inspection. Yeah. So I'm a bit shoddy, but I think the first few weeks of lockdown I spent fixing jobs myself. And the painting, because the painting was shit. Pardon my French, but it was awful. Well, you spent like the first portion of the first lockdown repainting and glossing and everything like that. Yeah. Just doors really clustered and half way up was just finished. It stopped halfway up and got bored. At the same time though, it was still easier doing that than fixing everything that was in our... But that house was a new build as well. It was, yeah. We were gloating for punishment the last two hours, there'd been new builds. Yeah. So we don't mind them, but obviously they do come with their issues. Yeah. This one I've already spent four hours repointing some of the back of the house. Yeah. And don't put a level on it, it just upset me. Jadon, my pet peeve not filling the holes under the four inch damp. We're guilty of that sometimes, but on the last video we did. See, I personally like doing it. It's you that didn't like doing it. I hate it. I don't mind. When we did the foundations, that was the job. We had to do on every foundation, fill the tops. And if you're right, we got that brick with the three holes. Yeah. When you get the ones with the 12 little tiny holes, it takes forever. The tiny holes for some reason take so much longer than the massive ones. Yeah. Which, I don't get how, but it was annoying. But we did that with the superstructures as well. We didn't have any time covering up. We just filled the holes up. Yeah. Last video, that little garage we did, I filled the holes and bedded the damp. All right. Did we watch the football? No, we heard it. We heard it. We heard our neighbors loving it. Al. Al. Alion. Alion S. Alion S. Easy regular. Can we do a collab with SteeringKC? I thought I said KFC then. I was going to say it. I wouldn't mind getting sponsored by KFC. I think we are fairly close to you guys. Plenty of team biscuits. Mark. Mark. Yeah, you'll have to start getting lazy now on your private jobs. I do nine while. I'll have three now. That's the orchard accent. Nine while three. That means nine till three. Right. Okay. Mark talks a bit funny because he's to the side at Ben Owens. Ah, I see. A lot of the time, honestly. Yeah. Yeah, looking back, what are our proudest moments building this channel and working together during the years? Learning a high tolerance for you? No, that's not a problem. That's what we're doing and proud of. As far as the channel's concerned. As far as the channel's concerned. I'm not sure what the channel, because I don't really do anything. You're the one who can't put your parts in it, aren't you? Yeah, I'm a cameo. I'd say my proudest moments of things involving the channel, I guess, is doing the first house, because we filmed that. Yeah, that's true, yeah. So that's a proud one for me, my first ever proper house. My only proper house. Yeah, the only one, yeah. Milestone's for me, like... I suppose the big number's like 510, now 15,000, and it's always aiming for next. That's Milestone. That's it, the community we built. Yeah, that's another thing. Yeah, the road here. Made a lot of... Although we've not met anybody, we've only met... Rodin, isn't it? Yeah, we've met Rodin, and like some people who have watched the channel have seen us. Yeah, but... we've made a lot of friends, because there's a lot of regulars on the end, there's like the Friday night, the crack we have on the Friday night, great. I really like doing the premiers, not a lot of people do the premiers, I don't know why, but we've got this little Friday night thing going on, which is interrupted the other week by the football, but we ended up going on late and catching everybody out. In fact, we didn't catch everybody out, we had more views when we went on late, didn't we? Yeah, except when you're all probably pissed off your heads, weren't you? Well, Mark was. Did you make some of the comments you put on? Sean Cleans. Is that Cleans? Cleamins? Cleamins? Yeah, Sean Cleans, yeah. Clemins, apologies for getting your name wrong. Hey guys, new subscriber from Clemins Devon. Love your channel, great work. Great. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thanks to Junior Ed. One of the many 15,000s. Jim Stout again, amazing. Thanks for answering. I'm not a bricklayer, but I love watching the videos. Find it so relaxing. Congratulations. Thank you very much. Well, thank you. We're just glad you enjoy it. I'm the same. I started doing YouTube because I enjoy watching the videos. So I thought I'd give it a try. My mum was telling you off. That would do you. I forgot my mum was watching. You didn't hear anything. I've lost my place now. Darren again, your music on the last video was the best. Blackbirds or Rubin Natural loved it. Oh yeah. I was editing it, and I was putting the music in, and I thought, I might as well just spit it out. So I just looked it out and I thought it sounded great because I love that sound. It's the sound of summer, isn't it? Grant, what made you start a channel and have you much work? Have you ever had much work because of it? Originally, we filmed and took pictures of it. The filming started for me, yeah, for college work. I was, because I was an apprentice, I needed video evidence on site just to back my my diploma, not diploma. Of course, it's called. So why? It's been that long to back me up in college. Yeah. So that's where the filming and pictures came from, and then... Basically, I learnt on the job rather than in class, so they just needed the evidence. They just needed to see me do it. They had an assessor come round once a month. Yeah. And... I just kind of picked up from there. Then I just started watching, I've always watched YouTube. I used to, people know we love Florida, I used to watch all the Florida vloggers. I used to watch all that. And then I ended up watching Brick Lane's stuff I thought. Give it a try, why not? Just started off as a bit of a laugh, really. And you like filming anyway? Yeah. Like, the first video we ever did, which went on everyone on YouTube, we just did a time lapse of Neil's dog kennels. Yeah. And then like, it just kind of went on from there. I was like, we could do this properly. Yeah. Put some effort into it. And it just kind of grew on from that. Yeah. Right. And... And I learnt how to do the YouTube by watching YouTube. Basically, everything I've learnt about this channel, how to use the map, how to use the editing software, which is iMovie. Let's use the GoPro properly, all on YouTube. Just type in how to. And it'll pop up. Somebody will be on there to tell you how to do it. Just catch up. Could you come to that? I can't even read that. I can read it on. It's fine. I can see it. Two times. Ricky Gray. Hey guys, would you want to get a big project going from start to finish like already? Before, let's say no, but, you know, we're having the site work. We used to have to work around the site work, so that's where we did a lot of weekends. So I think now all our time is our own. I think, not that big, but, like, I don't like taking on two-story extensions. I'd rather take single-story extensions. Nice little unit. Done. But, now we've got a scaffold that we know. And, I think, we'd probably tackle things a bit bigger now. I've been having a chat with somebody about all this, and he's, he's put a lot of ideas in my head. Very helpful. Yeah. Yeah. Bill's a bayonet. Congratulations on 15K. Thanks, Tony. Thank you very much, Tony. Thanks for joining our live stream. I didn't even tell you we were going live, so you found us anyway. Let's see. Oh, the mum told me after my language. Malcolm Yeats sounds really poor chaps. What's that? Our sound quality's poor. Is that what he mean? Is it? Oh, no. It is the iPad, that's the trouble. Yeah. Can't put in. Can't plug it. Can we plug it? Can we plug the microphone into it? I don't think so. No. The iPhone, it's an Apple cable, isn't it? No. Well, we've had no other complaints thus far. Hopefully it's just Malcolm's device. Yeah. Marquette. Yeah, I had a few that night. That was funny that night. Terrence. You never saw any pop? No, I didn't say. No, I did. I have an idea. I know what tradesman sound like when they're drunk. Terrence, when you go for big jobs, do you insist on working together and have any of those companies have any of those companies had issues? We've only ever worked for two housing firms. We've come as a package. We're not a one-on-one. We're two brick layers. We're just two brick layers. So it's not even a labor. The only issues they have is we're too slow, which is fair enough. Like I said before, we don't want to hit anyone else on because it just complicates things. We'd rather just stay as we are. If we do go into the bigger jobs, we know plenty of joiners and people we don't know. There are other trades that we don't know personally. There's always someone that we know who can recommend somebody, which is great having a bit of a network of people around you. If I go for a customer and they say, can you do this job for me? Do you know a good roofer? I know a fantastic roofer. I recommend him every day of the week called Andy. And I say to them, he's very busy, but you'll have to wait for him. But wait for him because he's worth it for Caden and Lime. But it's like that. And Neil, I had to bought the van off. He's a joiner, but he's got a lot of contacts because he's like next level from what he did. He'll organise the jobs we work for him. Whereas we need to be doing jobs where people are working for us. And that's sort of the plan. Going forward, we're going to get into that gradually and see how things go. But no more relying on big house bills. You don't get the toss about you. Apologies as well. I'm not being rude. I'm just catching up with the chat still. I'll make me a spit-coach quicker. I'll waffle on a bit, don't I? Lulu, Steve, did you follow your dad in being a brickie? And why did Alex want to be a brickie? I had a gun to my head. No, my dad was a van delivery driver. We just delivered car batteries till he retired. I went into... Anyway, I was good with my hands in school. I got a joinery level and I got two metal workout levels. Left school to be an engineer. Go to college and have no money or go to the YTS and get paid. Just pick a trade-up. £26 a week. So I went to college to be a joiner. Joinery section was too busy so I became a bricklayer by accident. I've been building since I was young really. I'm like, watching the process of building going up. So I kind of fell into place. I tried to stay in towards plumbing or electrics. I was going to be a joiner at first until mum saw the swords. But I wanted to be a bricklayer before that, to be honest. Like I said, he was steering me away from it. Glad you took notice of me, though. Terrence have kind of a portfolio. That's what I was getting video evidence for. That's the portfolio. Thank you, Terrence. Phillip van de Veen. Hi, Steve and Alex. Enjoy watching the videos. Keep them coming. We'll definitely try to. Thank you very much. Thank you. I'm Kurt Malvis. Congratulations. Thank you very much. Here's another visual. So it's Jim, isn't he? Yeah, Jim. He said hi. Hi, Jim. Congratulations. Thank you, Jim. We've had a few people saying the sounds fine. Oh, good. So it might just be your device pal, right? Sorry. So I'm called. It's fine. Hello, everybody. Matthew Rampton. Hey, guys. Love watching your videos. I've learned so much from you guys. You need to upload more content per week. What am I like trying to catch up with it? I've got so much stuff on the hard drive. Oh, he's got a lot of stuff. But like I say, I like watching YouTube myself. So I'll sit down at the back and get started. Then something will pop up. And I'll just have a quick watch of this one. And then there's another one pops up. And I end up off on a tangent. By the time it gets to 10 o'clock, I've done nothing. So I really need to focus a bit more. And I'm currently going through a lot of changes with the channel. There's a lot going on. We're changing the way we do it. We're changing the way that edits. We're changing the, what's it called? The TubeBuddy. We've downloaded that. There's a lot going into it. We're trying to tidy it up a little bit. Yeah. Trying to make it a bit better. Always trying to improve. But I usually put two up a week if the Friday premiere isn't doing very good. If it's not going many views, then we'll put one up on a Monday or Tuesday. I call it a throwaway video just to keep people interested in the channel. So people don't forget. So I just in Tony say two videos would be awesome. Tony, you've got people to edit your videos. I mean, I need to get them on it really. Oh, Christine. So, it's good. Thank you very much. Sleeping collectibles. Congrats on 15K. Thank you. Thank you. Jim, it's a bit late in the stream. Oh, don't worry. We had a fuffal with it at the start. Oh, the first 10 minutes. We weren't there either. How are things? Things are good. Thank you. Yeah. We're just... Things are a bit of a crossroads for us now. Now we've left the site. Yeah. We'll make a proper video about this whole evening site thing. Yeah. We'll talk about it properly. Yeah. We'll have to be careful what we say. Oh, yeah. We'll say things respectfully but we'll give our opinion. I'd love to name names. But I'll end up in talk. There's a lot of things. And Brick Jackets, congratulations. Thanks, Brick Jackets. You probably still see our Brick Jackets in the videos. In fact, we've just done a job in Bersko. Big block job. And all the Brick Jackets started in that. Great stuff. It's been a massive help. Thank you very much for that. And a bit off topic, but off... Back when we were outside the block, we've got everybody love them. Oh, yeah. We've made up. DJ Projects, well done. Thank you. DJ. Thanks, Dave and Stevie. Love your channel. Thanks for joining us. I can't for you. Where are we from? We are from... Sorry if you're from America. What? You said where we're from and sorry if we're from America. No. I tried to be from America about two weeks a year when I went to Florida. I pretend I'm an American resident then. Best regards from Russia. Hello, Russia. Thanks for joining us. I'm glad you can understand us. I almost said that's the Daniel, but that's goodbye. Watching too much die hard. And playing too much Cold War. Grant Brick, what's the biggest mistake we've made on the job? Thankfully, at least recently, we've not made two bigger mistakes. I've been at this 35 years, so I probably made some right howls, but I can't remember them. We made a load of the simple ones, like putting a brick in the wrong place or having to take a brick out or something, which are frustrating, but not as bad as some of the stuff we've seen. Of course, picking a wall. It's still easily done, but I've done it myself. When it was on a barn conversion, so we managed to get it back and it wasn't face work. It was in the floor. But there's a step in the floor step down and obviously we've just worked to the wrong level. I've done a few laundry conservatories. That's completely down to being on price work, under pressure, trying to get it done in a day. And I'm glad to be out of that as well. I cocked up a garage measurement for once. Did you? Yeah, I got it at 500 ml. 500? Yeah. Which one was that? It was just one of the garages we were setting out and it's 5.5, isn't it? Yeah. So I did like... I'm not 500 ml. I was 50 ml. I'm not 500 ml. You say 500 ml. Yeah, I was 500 ml. The load is 50 ml, I'm sorry. But I did 5550. Yeah. Because I said 5.5. I've done the old chestnut, which everybody's done, throw the wrong side of the line with the face of the brick. So you're 100 ml out. Yeah, that's a change of few conservatories. And bought the brick you once launched into the private long term. Your name gets great and the lake flows in. That's the plan, hopefully. We should leave a few cars that are like barriers if we're allowed to. You are, yeah. Yeah, we can do that then. We can leave some of the builds versions. Tony, awesome news, guys. Big sights never care. Glad to hear you're going from it. Yeah, she's absolutely... You're going for it, sorry. Yeah. Mom's telling him to take us away from her. Take me away, Tony. Gavin O'Farrell, congratulations on 15K being here from the start. Thanks very much. Very devoted. Yeah, that's three years. Mustn't have much in a social life. Two videos a week would be awesome. We'll just cut into that. Here you go. Keering Norbury. Am I in the dressing gown? No, I'm in a dress shirt. It's unbuttoned at the moment, so I don't want to look too indecent. I've done one bulletin to look presentable. Let's see, JP. I think to celebrate 15K, you should both run 15K. What? To celebrate 15K subscribers, you should run 15K. No. I could do with it, though. I was on a workout tonight. I just died of a workout this morning, so... We bought 5.8K in Blackfield Pleasure Beach last week. Rudy. Alex, can you see yourself going out and doing your own thing? I used to work with my old man, and the argument's got too much, so we left him. As long as he keeps being nice to me. Well, we don't really fall out, do we? No. We simmer. Yeah, when we fall out, it's not with each other. We just get the blunt end of our bad moods. Yeah. But I don't see myself going away. No. Because, well, I don't know what... He's not ready to go on his own yet. No. He's got a lot of learning to do yet. I couldn't just say, right, I'm staying on today. You're on your own today, Alex. If you go and drop him off, he's not up to that yet. He's not on... I probably should take a bit more of a step back and learn. Just carry on. But I'm too fussy, and I've been told off of pecking on him in my dreams, in videos sometimes. But as I keep telling people, he's got a lot to learn, and he's not going to learn like if I don't tell him. And you can't just let him make a mess or something, just leave him to it, stop nagging him. He's got to learn the right way, and it's got to be not just enough, it's got to be right, and it's got to be nice. Yeah, because we don't have room to make errors and learn from errors in our life, especially now that we're doing private jobs. You can't just cock up someone's house and be like, oh, you've got to do that instead. You've forgotten a window. Yeah. That's the error. You've got to do so many things. Yeah, at least I don't forget windows. Not to name names, at least, or entire garages. Yeah. But yeah, I don't see myself leaving because I've still got a lot to learn, and it's a comfortable work environment. Yeah. I can't see myself getting... I would definitely argue with other people a lot more than him, because at least he's more understanding as well. And he's having a week off soon for his birthday, so I've got to find something to do. So I've got a load of points and jobs, because he doesn't like pointing, but I've told him he's got to learn it because it's part of being a bricklayer. And I used to hate pointing jobs. I really did. I despised it. But same as lintel jobs. But I suppose you get a bit older, you get a bit more patient, so I do lintel jobs all week now. I do them. I don't mind them. And pointing jobs, I actually look forward to pointing jobs because it's like having a rest. Once you've done all the mucky bit, the raking out and everything, the point is just like, it's enjoyable. He just needs to learn that bit though. He's a bit... That's the only downside. I'll probably do the point a bit with you, but I don't think I can physically do the grinding out, but it was too taxing on my asthma. Tony sounds really cool idea about the big site chat. There we go. So we've got to do it now. Yeah. David White, eating the lads. Congratulations on the 15k. Thank you. Thanks, David. That's good. That must have been Stevie Love before. General Kratos. Toby McGuire and Bruce Willis now. What? Toby McGuire and Bruce Willis. Some of you said it looked like Muddy Phil Collins the other week. At least you're a die-hard guy. I'm just a... What's the word? I'm a... I think... I can't think of the word. I'm a emo piece of vodka. Get your wink right when you fix this damn door. Ben Fiend. Do you watch Charlie Cohnson or have you learnt anything from him? I've learnt loads from Charlie Cohnson. Absolutely loads, because he's... Obviously I've been doing it 35 years, so I'm not doing it, but he teaches the little tricks and stuff, because whereas we do site work a bit, but we do a lot more remedial and fixing and stuff. So he's got the site work down to a team, so it's like... So a lot of things are picked up. I can't think of anything specific. Definitely not picking dick, because I just can't do that. I can't go on with that. Just loads of little things, but I don't watch as much as he used to because his videos are long, and I can never get around to me editing. It's interfering with me editing it. I've got to. I'm subscribed to too many people, and I like to watch people the whole video, and I always like to comment on it. So I spend all night watching videos and commenting rather than getting my own edits and done. It's starting to suffer, so I need to... That's why in D&J, I always comment a few days later now because I have to get it in bite-sized pieces so I can't watch it right through, because they do long videos, but I don't miss their videos. Make sure to watch them all. That's like, should I catch up now, Mark? Definitely take on all the small-day jobs. I have had jobs coming in for years just for doing one small job. You just need to learn how to put concrete in, Mark. I still can't get over the foundation you did. Matthew Robinson, what's the best way to repaint and cap a chimney with just ladders or scaffolding? Never off the ladder. No chance. I wouldn't like to do it anyway, but it's scaffolded all the way. It's expensive, but it's safe, and you'll make a nicer job. Scaffolding can go all around the chimney. You're risking your life for starters, and it's not worth risking life just for fixing a chimney. Of course we don't want to pay for the scaffold, then that's up to them. Walk away. Don't do it off a ladder. Ray Dunn, the reason you're so good and experienced now is because of the mistakes you make in the past. Ray Channel, I've watched you all the time. Thank you, Ray. Do you know what? That's exactly what someone said to me tonight. They're not mistakes, they're all part of your learning, and it's very true of that. And what Thomas said is instead of all the light bulb. So true, Steve, I think about the air. What we were talking about before, you and me. Oh, yeah. The work and like, teaching and stuff. Bob and Brickie, from some local builders, these companies don't keep trowels on the box full-time. That's what I've done when I had Jack Sights. Now I've done work for three different companies for over 20 years. Yeah, that's another one, yeah, definitely. And again, we're having a chat tonight, and then there's a local bricklayer, and then we ended up with one of his jobs that he couldn't do. And then the customer told us that he was supposed to do it, and I said, oh, I know him. So he must be, he's probably getting on for 60 now, and obviously if he's turning jobs down, they're solid concrete, seven newtons. So that could mean he's winding down now. So I'm going to ring him up and just say, Peter, if you get any jobs that you don't want to do or you can't do, just bear his in mind, pass them on to us and give us a chance. Because Peter's a very respected bricklayer around here, and he'll have a lot of contacts. So hopefully once he starts winding down, hopefully he'll let us take some of the work off him. We've also had Grant, if you get to have one YouTube brickie to our gang, who would you pick? I don't think that goes without saying, does it? Rodion. Rodion. Yes. He would never be a boring day with Rodion. No. He comes across nice on YouTube, but he's way nicer than he is on the channel. He's such a great guy. There's no facade on YouTube at all. No. You get what you see with Rodion. Dean Jay probably takes a week off for a birthday sound like my dad. Yeah. It's a traditional thing, but the last two years, I've not been busy, so I've took the week off with him, so he's been dead annoyed. Yeah. He's not like having a week off with you that stuff as well. Yeah, it's not a week off, then, is it? No. Last year, we were supposed to be in Florida for the best, so that was it, because he loves to style all of us, so we should have been in Galaxy's Edge for his 21st birthday, but obviously, like a lot of other people, we lost out on a lot of stuff last year. And Leon S, again, is there a best way to get more to the stick as the DIY... Oh, as a DIYer. I find that sometimes the bricks come loose most of the time. I am okay, but I want to improve. It depends on the mortar, really. It usually comes off when it dries too quick. Yeah. I'd say wet your bricks, but if you wet your bricks, you've got a chance of getting air fluorescence there. Just make sure you're using good building sand, and make sure you use the concentrated prostisizer. That should make it sticky enough. Yeah, and make sure it's building sand, because another thing we'll say about quickly, on-site, they are definitely not using building sand in their groundwork mortar. It is the case. I think it's filled sand. It's bright red, and it feels okay, but when you mix it... It's not... It's just fine. Yeah. It's like sand on the beach. Yeah. It's dead, isn't it? Yeah. You can put a feb in it, just nothing comes up. Well, for context, we have a bald feb, and we put about 10 mil, sometimes 15 mil, depending on the mix. It took a full cap of... a full cap of 25, and like, what, five? Four or five packets. Four or five packets of the feb, just to get it usable for an hour, and then it's gone. Yeah. It's like the silo mortar. Once it goes off, you just turn it over a few times, it comes back to life. You don't even have to have wards to it sometimes. But this stuff, once it started going off, it just died in the tub. And then we were going through so much of it, because it was two course of trench, one course of four inch, five course of reds, and then the concrete was 50 mil, though. So we had to make 50 mil up in that. This is for the foundations. Those are the foundations for the house that we were promised if we built the foundations. Yeah, that's... obviously not even ever heard the story. Well, again, we'll have a video explaining all this in detail. Yeah. Where are we at now? Let's see. If we've missed anybody out, we apologize, by the way. That's what mom shouted. Oh, he's tiny. Oh, do we miss mom? Yeah. We miss grandma before asking about the air, who we've got, what YouTube will we have? Christine upstairs keeping an eye on everything. Wayne Bailey, well done on 15K. Cheers, Wayne. Another devoted. Another one I recognize. He's been from the Guinness and he's a very passionate bricklayer, expert layer through injury. So he always tells us keeping an eye on our backs and look after it. Tim Beam, have a front porch made from brick. The edge is falling away. Could I DIY or should I hair it out? You could DIY if you wanted. It's up to you. It's whether you feel confident enough. I mean, we've done a few videos to do that, but it's not the easiest job. It's all round to confidence whether you think you can do it or not, but you've got the right tools as well. Jumping ahead a bit, but Bob the Brickie, I've sent you skis for your concrete mark. Hello. You've got to check out Mark's video, not the last one. Well, check them all out but make sure you subscribe to his channel as well. Mark's a great bricklayer, but you've got to check out Mark's channel as well. And you've got to check out Mark's video as well. The other thing is have a look at it. Is this a source? Yeah. Back to you. It's up to you. No, not at all. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I guess. It's all right. So I was just taking your time. It's all right. Yeah,既 a quick video I'm going to dooby-doby, just click on the link down to there. Okay? single garages but only attached by about a meter, so not much. So groundwork has forgot the garages, so the garages get dug out and they have their own groundworks, brick layers, so they've never shown up. So site agent comes up says, will you do the foundations for me? I said no, he said he didn't. No, I'm not doing foundations anymore, I'm jacking ten years of foundations to come and work to do supers. He said, well, if you do the garages, I probably should get the plots. I said, you've already told me I can have the plots. She said, yeah, but we need the garages putting up that we really desperately need them doing. I said, right, okay, just remember. And then even the contracts manager said, yeah, do your plots, thanks for doing the garages, blah, blah, blah. I did the garages, absolutely pain in the ass, but neatest foundation brickwork on the site though, but that doesn't matter. So slab's ready, concreted, loaded out with concrete block, no scath mat, we're still back filling it. So site agent manages, says he's going on tomorrow, said no. So we went to the scath mat, I don't do the blockwork first, we're doing brickwork first, do it properly, get all the doors in the right place, not working on your blockwork and moving things over and messing your wand up, blah, blah, blah. Two days later goes to booking on the Friday. The blockwork's up to scaffold height. So I went in the office and basically had a proper big tantrum. Effing and jeffing, shouting, telling what I thought of them. Site agent says, we don't lose you, Steve. I said, well, there's no way. I said, you've got me money, you owe me money for my garages, you didn't pay me for. I said, this is the last straw. I said, I've had enough. I'm not doing anything else for you lot, because you just allows your firm. And I'm sick of your treatments like you've treated us. I've been doing this 35 years and that's the worst firm I've ever worked for. And I can't believe we lasted that long. That's just me being scared of just going off on my own. We should have went a long time ago. Instead of relying on these arseholes. I don't watch it. I might send a link to the head office. So I hope that answers your question, Wayne. Oh, it could go on for hours about then, what? Mark, the concrete was rough. I think on that day, Ingle was playing, so I was like, leave it at that. I thought on Monday. I'll get over it. I really like worse than that, Mark. And that's from a professional groundwork company with laser levels. Tom Pack 971. Did some heritage work a few years ago, really enjoyed it. And, and the plus was never going to rain, get rained off due to the mostly try this again. Did some heritage work a few years ago, really enjoyed it. And the plus was it never got, never got rained off due to being indoors. Do you like doing heritage work? A few years ago, I said no, because I just want to get all the things. But yeah, now I'm in my fifties. I'm definitely getting more patient. And yeah, I wouldn't mind doing stuff like the only thing I've never done is work with line. Never work with line. So that being high up now. Alexi. Here's one for you from ground. What's your favourite ride in Orlando? As of today, Hagrid's magical and creature motorbike adventure, which called absolutely love it. I think, I think me and Christine did it about 10 times. It'd be cute, but worth it. But there's a lot of new stuff open since we were there. We were back there back in September 2019 for our anniversary. We had two weeks out there, just me and Chris, our first holiday on our own with no kids. So we had two weeks in Orlando. Fantastic. What do we, if we have one, what do we think of the trail mate? We haven't got one. We haven't got one. So we don't have a, I think, um, travel body we're going to send us one, I think, but I forgot to send our address to him. But, um, we have, um, honestly, like a real, like, meffy thing, isn't it? It's a power to a holster and slide the trial into it, which I don't really use it much, to be honest. But it's got a little pencil holder. So I'm not having more for me pencil because you can't get a pencil to stay behind these. Once that skin set up on yours too. All right. So we both see another one I'd like to say is, um, your policy in the videos is, uh, definitely check out Fitzbrick clamps. It's, it's not a gimmicky thing. This, I promise you. I know it's not because he sent us them for free. Richard ran me up and went through how to use it and everything. And then told me about all his plans. He's got big plans ahead, but the actual things during the van. But anyway, um, there's, there's so many ways you can use them. There's not all. You've got the traditional corners of corner. The handy when you get to the top of the block corner and you've got one block sticking out, you know, to stick the pin. So as Charlie Connorsen does, you don't need to stick pins in anymore. You're not banging onto your wall and, um, you can put them horizontally. You can put them vertically. You can have your line, a big, long line. You can use it as a tingle in the middle because it clamps the line into a little groove. So you can use it as a tingle. Um, me and Alex actually used them on a fencing job on a hundred and hundred post, planting to the top of the post. They're just so versatile. And I thought they were a bit pricey at £35, but they'll last, they'll last a lifetime and they will make your life easier, I promise. Definitely worth investing in. All right, um, is your battery on? No, just these. It's got to be smaller than you've found. It's better if you do that. Yeah. So right, we've got two. That's the advertisement interval over. Back to the live chat. 15k, well done. Thank you very much. Thank you. Bob's any since skis. Oh, Stuart's here. Congratulations on 15 again once we're in here to the next 15k. Cheers, Stuart. Thank you, Stuart. Breaks 187. Can we go loud? Am I allowed, we'll have to see this word? Bumperklart? I don't even know what it is. Neither do I. I'm just hoping it's not a slur. Bumperklart. I've heard it before. I don't know why. I've never heard that. If you're going for... I'm 53 now. No, 52. I'm not older than I am. Jim, if we're going full, if you're going full town private lands, how are materials and emergence with you? It's a bit of a nightmare up here. Makes organising jobs a bit of a lottery. Yeah. Went to get some, tomorrow's job, we went to Berries, took the camera to Berries again. I know people are getting a bit fed up with that, but it's such a laugh. And we've got top-like blocks, like the thermo-like blocks from the tar-like version. Looked at the receipt today, the £1.70 a piece, but that's all they had left. We know we like to get fibre lights, which I think are about £1.30, £1.40, but all the bays were empty. The only bay I had to stuff in was that one. The block job we've just done in Berries ago took us a few weeks because they've had to get in batches. The first lot they got they got £600 an odd, and they were waiting for the next load, but they got impatient and went somewhere else. I actually got it from a timber merchant, don't know how, but the timber merchant brought them on the back of a tranny, and we had to offload them, handball them off, which wasn't fun, but needs most. But yeah, building sound was a problem for a while, and with us just leaving site, I'm just starting to get organised and helping out. So I've got another block job to do, so I need to order the stuff for that. So we'll see. Next week's job as well, the bricks. I priced them from Brickstone and Wigan. They don't have stock, have many stock, so I had to get them fused grey, and they charged an extra £70, which luckily the customers took that on the chin, because it's just the way it is. Skips have gone up a lot. As everyone knows, we do a lot of fencing. Well, we don't do a lot, but we do the feather edge boards. We don't do the concrete fencing, because I don't like lifting the concrete posts. I don't like Stevie, Dean Jay, he's the master at that. But the feather edge boards have doubled in price since we did our garden fence, plus nobody can get them at the moment. Do we enter into written contracts with our customers, or do we just agree verbally? It's all done verbally. I think we're going to have to move into that kind of thing if we're taking big jobs on. It's all part of the wording curve, and yeah, there's a lot to think about and a lot to do. But we've got to have to do it. Next. Three hour queues for the hybrid ride when he was out there. Three hours. Do you know, I'd queue up for three hours for that. I used to close because I used to reach capacity. I remember queuing massive queues at opening time at road drop, and that was a bit of chaos, and the single rider queue used to close pretty quick. Because I hope you got on it, because it's fantastic, fantastic. They can't wait to get lots of queues to them. Probably not right. I've never already yet, so wouldn't now. Such a crew ride. And Facebook comes through a brilliant piece of kit, says Ben. Definitely Ben, yeah. He's not just us blowing smoke up his arses, he's doing good gear. I told her to only build my need to get his brick later. Well, he's locking into them, he says. Yeah. And we've had, I'm sorry, we don't. Is that Russian? Looks Russian. Do you put it to the screens to see it, just so we've acknowledged it? Well, I'm sure they'll know. Do you mind if we rush in? We've acknowledged the Russian-looking text. That one. Yep. It's all a bit blurred, but thank you. I hope it wasn't abusive. Well, it was a question mark, so. Oh, right. Aussie EFC. Well done, fellas, on 15K. You've come across as two nice fellas and great brickies builders. Well, we're one of those things. Thank you very much. That's because we had it out, we had it out all the tantrums. Yeah. We should really leave them in, but when you're having a bad day, the last thing you feel like doing is messing around with the camera. But it makes for some good outtakes, though. So we need to start. Mind you, if you're having a tantrum and something with the camera in your face, just make your ways. We're up to it. Um, you can read some of these too, you know. I can't read them, I've got my reading on. Matt, are you boys a nice one? Regarding the Fitzbrick, you always want the line staring... I always want the line staring at the end, but the Fitzbrick relies on you getting that corner bang on from us to write. What I'm... What I'm saying is if the pins are used, you can tap the part where the Fitzbrick will go if the line's touching or away from it. That makes sense, cheers. I know what it means, because sometimes the end of your corner... Yeah, it could be out, yeah. Whereas you're almost certainly going to be plumbing the corner, because that's always the same plumbing point. The last video was good because there was only a little job we couldn't get profiles on it. Didn't want to build big corners, so we just did course for course. Brilliant for that. And you'd be surprised just how tight you can pull them. We were using them on a party or on a concrete, and you could pull it really properly tight. They just clamp on really well. Andrew Bell, do we... Do you work fiberlites over thermolites? Absolutely, all day long. They're stronger, they're no heavier. They're probably a little bit cheaper, but they're just lovely blocks to work with, aren't they? Yeah. And they're better for fixing to for the homeowner, and I think they're probably better for plastering to as well, because they don't suck as much to the water. That was the thermolites do. What's stronger as well? You don't see them getting the vertical cracks in thermolites. Yeah. Matt, are we... Oh, no, no, yeah. Timber last year, 260 a cube. Now it's 340. What the hell? Yeah. That's ridiculous. And it's only going up. A water coaster looks unreal, says Graham. So what? A water coaster. Oh, it is, it's more than a roller coaster, it's just so intense. Breaking block solutions, one of you guys going back on site. Hopefully never. No, for one day only, to get our packs to do it and get paid, and then we're out of there. I really hope that they need us. Can we have the singing bricklayer give me a shout out please? What's that? Can we have the singing bricklayer? Well, we've said his name, so... Hi, Cammie. Right, eight o'clock. Do you reckon we should wrap up then? How long have we been on? 70 minutes. Give it another 10 minutes, because plenty. I want 78 people. Give it another 10 minutes. Can I help you? Yeah. Where do we get up to? Are we done, everyone? We're caught up at the moment. All right. Andrew has just thanked us for answering this question. Cool. So get your last questions in for the last 10 minutes. That's been a good one tonight, hasn't it? Yeah. Oh, no, watch Moonport. What's that emoji she's put? Oh, a coffee emoji. Have you tried Timberframe? Yeah, I did it before he was born, a long time ago, when I was just me and the labourer. And it was just for a very small builder. He built a couple of houses at a time. And back then, I was employed to help with the Timberframe, so I got paid day by day to put the frames up. And then the scaffold went up and it had hop-ups on the first two boards, so I got paid day by day for moving my own scaffold up and down, which obviously is unheard of nowadays. But then, but it was only a house, a couple of months off, then another house. I did enjoy that, but watching Changi's video on the Timberframe wouldn't fancy it now. He struggled like hell with all the scaffold in the way. It's just a mess, wouldn't fancy that at all. We did try and get on as a local site, but they said they wanted fast gangs and they wanted every plot up in 10 days, so they never got back to us. I said, we've got plenty of foundations for it. He said, no, thanks. Mark's asking what we up to tomorrow. What's tomorrow's job? He's lying in, he's staying down. I've got a nice little straightforward doorway, halfway brick door for a window, because they're having a kitchen refurb, so they're breaking this door up. So it's a bit of toothing, and some nice old mutual sticks, which we put to pick the berries on Saturday, don't we? Yeah. Yeah, the next year after that, it's the same bricks as well, nice bricks. Yeah, cavity wall, a bit of blockwork on the back with the very expensive blocks. I think you make a great video of all of your mishaps or outtakes, says Aussie. That's what I'm saying too. We need to get a collaboration of all our outtakes and throw them in one. Yeah. At least you don't have to worry about people not seeing them then because it's its whole video. Yeah, that's true. Ryan, that's what age did I start working with you? 16? Yeah. Straight out of school, more or less. I'm in summer holidays. Toxic 16. No one wants to do anything, did they? No, I was really plagued by everybody. We did a role in the home site doing foundations and the site agent said to him, if you see anybody, one of the bosses come on, he said, hide. He said, because it's easy for you to hide and go through the hassle of having a 16-year-old, the paperwork is not worth it. And he said, if your dad goes anywhere, you go with him. You don't have to be left alone on site on your own anyway. Bit sketchy as well. Yeah. I had to duck and cup him in the air. Help, safety came. Hide. You should, Jim says you should have filmed you blow out in the site office. That would have been a blockbuster. That probably wouldn't have been our viral video. I'd say that would have been a few beeps in it. Yeah. Oh, the assistant manager, who I know, was basically trying to calm me down and the temporary manager in the other room never made a sound, never spoke up, nothing, just sat there and let it happen. We haven't seen the Brit Layers since then and by the way the Brit Layers who took that plot over is a three in one gang and I bet none of the Brit Layers are young with the 75, they're all old age pensions, but there's three of them with a labourer, so they're fast, but not pretty and they've even omitted that themselves, which isn't good if you're buying that house is it? No. Everyone's agreeing that you should have filmed your outburst. What's that Ben and Jerry's talk? We can't go now, it's just cracked open of Ben and Jerry's. Well, we had a Domino's the other night and then we had some friends over, funny enough customers who'd become friends, we did a few walls for them, they came round and they had Domino's and there was a Ben and Jerry's with it, so me and Christine sat on it a lot, a cookie dough, really gorgeous. How much do you ask for? A thousand brick and blocks please. You can ask for as much as you like, but it depends on what people want to pay. Gleason, he said it again, he said it now. Who wouldn't want to disappoint? I'll edit it out. Anyway, the firm we've just left, we're paying $500,000, which is crap, $14.50 for block, $16.50 for trench block, $375,000 for commons, yeah, that's it. But those lousy prices include damp course, lintels, insulation, cavity socks, cavity trays, cavity, they're weak bends, that's all included in that price, which is awful. You've got to work down hard to make your money on that and it sounds easy, but the plots we have, we're just to make them. We thought once we get a plus wall plate to be easy, but even though, it's still terrible, isn't it? Yeah, awful. Yeah, that's it for the prices, £15 an hour day work, I think. Yeah. Brick and block solutions, what's the price on brick and block in the UK at the moment? They're going crazy here in Ireland at the moment, is that Euro 20? Yeah. A Euro 20 per brick and two Euro 15 a block, I'm getting at the moment. That's brilliant. We should be getting that over here. Yeah. We've just done a big block job and I priced it at £2 a block, but I've underpriced it a lot. I should have gone into day work because there's a lot of pillars in it. It was all overhand and there's three pikes and the old pikes had to be cut with the grinder, so it dragged on probably a couple of days over. So we took a bit of a hit on that one, but we win some of your loose ones, but obviously I've got to stop things like that now. Excuse me. I can't afford to be in that all the time. Definitely should have. Yeah. Jim, sorry I'm back. I'd love to see you. Maybe it's that one, Faru or Feb? I'm here. Alright. Let's see if we can revisit some of your old work and see how it's faring ten to twenty years down the line. I've often talked about doing a video like that actually. There's a lot of stuff around here I could go back and film. That's stupid. Faru or Feb? I'm not keen on the Faru, it goes a bit fluffy, but the Feb we use is, it's thicker, thicker. I think so, yeah. used. It's the concentrated stuff and that's bang on that stuff. We used to use the package stuff a year ago but that stuff's horrendous. You've got to spin the mix for a long time to get the package stuff to life. I've just done that too. Steve have you heard of a film called Carlton Holmes? A film called Carlton Holmes. Not sure. It's still going. Carlton Holmes? No. Never really then. Only Carlton Bricks. The Brick manufacturer. Calmy should be the same price as Facing. Yeah, that's true. It's face work, isn't it? I mean, I know Charlie Collins has said they want them joined in the back of the face work so what they do is brush it. But if you've got full trays at the bottom, you're brushing it. You've got to keep them trays clean as well. Absolutely. Nightmare keeping trays clean. All these trays everywhere. Calmy should be the same price as Facing who's still at the joint at all. Yeah, I've just said that. Grant, is there more money in the footings of the Supers? We made way more money in the footings. Yeah, we did a lot more in the footings. It was hard to work but it was easier money. An example of prices. Again, we were on £18 a metre for block, which wasn't brilliant but it was better than the rest of the site. £14 a metre for block, £5.50 for face, £4.25 for commons and then your own block and bean. So every block and bean matched our vents. We got to pay £2.50 per vent, probably about eight vents per house. Every vent had a lintel so we got to pay £2.50 per lintel and any of the openings for the pipes were used to build pipes in and lintels. So again, £2.50 a pipe, £2.50 a lintel. So you're making upwards of £100 per plot in extras, which these lot, you can't pay nothing for that. It's all in the price. I hate that saying it's all in the price because the price isn't good to begin with and you've got all this extra work that people just say, it's all in the price but they don't realise the extra work that goes into that. Thinking about it, setting out cavity trays, messing out with trays and vents and it all takes time and it takes a lot of time and you could be up on the third lift, you'll forget something and you're backing them forwards and then as I said to Tony before, your day depends on how good a mood your flawless drivers in. If you see the bad mood and can't be bothered, your day's scuppered. You might as well just go home because you can make or break your day. I know Charlie Colerson said the same. It's all about your driver and how many punches he gets as well. The other day we were there, the defences arrived and needed defences and lodging and the machine was being serviced at 11 o'clock in the morning on a like a Thursday or a Friday. What's that all about? Why service it at that time? It's obviously mad. Next. Have I moved the van to another one? Yeah. Just when I think about it, it's like they're going to be cold sweats. Yeah, Alex looks a bit drained as the weather's taking a toll on you too. No. Not really, no. We've had good weather. Yeah. This is as bad as it's got today. We've had a few thunderstorms today. We've been very lucky with the weather. No. The more you rest, the tighter he gets. Yeah, I'm fine. It's tiring on hot, isn't it? Yeah. I'm fine. DJ Mack, hi. DJ Mack, most of my feet guys have an awesome week all the best. Thanks, Tony. Thanks for joining us. Thanks for tuning in, Tony. How busy you are. It's good of you to join us. Thank you very much. Yeah, Steve, you're doing private. Don't price per thousand. Go for days. Then add a few days on for weather and complications. Yeah, definitely mark. Yeah. It's all in. It's all a learning curve. We're going to attempt it. See how we go? You know, so the battery power is still still cutting. Best and best. Matt, I'd love one of them. It's just a bit pricey, under a quid for a corded one. And what is it? Five or six for it? I know the good machines though. Yeah. I mean, we bought both cordless mickey to for cutting the lightweight blocks. Timbersaw, but definitely with one of those. I've got mickey to batteries on when you've got no walkie batteries. Yeah. Yeah. Who would you rate the best brishy on YouTube at the moment? Charlie Changy, hasn't. It's got to be Charlie, hasn't it? At an M3? Yeah. Mum says early nights. Yeah. I'll have one where she has one. I say Charlie, but I watch all three of them. And poor Changy bought some of our brick tongs off us. And this is the only pair that I've ever snapped. And they didn't just snap when he snapped before he even unwrapped them. And it looked like one of the welds was bad, and it got all rusty. So we never even got a chance to use them, which I was gutted about. If all the people who had them broke had to be another YouTuber, didn't it? Yeah. Yeah. I wouldn't have had any come back from any of us. I just wish he was closer. He's just gone and got them and gotten me welded for him. And the Tom and Aida. The Tom and Aida. He's an apprentice. Any tips? What? What do you mean? Tom and Aida. Underneath mum. I'm an apprentice. Oh yeah. Any tips? Well, one, take pride in your work. Always listen to your superiors, because no matter how much you may think you know, you don't. So don't be afraid to ask questions either. Like if you're struggling, don't be afraid to ask. They're there to help you. And take pride in your work, obviously, because you're building for some, you're either building on a building site, so you're building someone's house, or you're doing work on someone's house already. So take pride in it and make sure it's to the best of your abilities. And be open to learn new things, I would say. Yeah. And the lousy wages won't last forever. No. If you're working in the end. Yeah. GP, GP, what do you think of the future of bricklaying will be when the... I'm joined. I'm joined with them. And Milky Way galaxies colliding 4.5 billion years. Although I feel like it'll affect it quite drastically. We'll may have to brick up the damage between the galaxies. Yeah. We'll have to order a lot in, but you know. We'll see what we can do. In 4.5 billion years. 15k giveaway to celebrate that. We've got a deal away. Oh, I wish we had 15k to give away. Yeah, we did have 10, didn't we? No, he means give away 15k in money. Oh, yeah. Didn't see that. I don't know. Maybe this has already been asked, but were you paid to or still be your direct from the main contractor? Direct. And we weren't paid. Well, for certain jobs we weren't paid. There are a nightmare. The booking in form is like Chinese writing. It's made dead confusing. If I didn't book in, no one would say, where's your booking in? Could you just leave it? If you didn't book in, it wouldn't pay you. It wouldn't attempt to remind you. Whereas the other lot to work for, I used to text in, text miscounting. No email every Friday. And if I didn't email on Friday, the way you work there, you did the duet, you'd be straight on to me that day saying, where's your booking in? And then we'll use there every week, Thursday. And it was never queried. Whereas these lot, it's just ridiculous. It was a carriage that had been half built. We finished it. But whoever did the first half booked the whole garage in and nobody noticed. So as far as they were concerned, the car was just paid for. And we didn't bother whether we'd built it or not. We paid for that job and not paying it again. But that took about nine months to find that out. The events he said that after nine months. Next, I'm off again, aren't I? Yeah, Mr. Rep. Hopefully six minutes ago. Chengi top drawer, the bloke cracks me up. The what? Chengi top drawer, the bloke cracks me up. Yeah, he's very funny. And Sean's a nutter. Sarah just said that. I heard him say, always listen to your superiors. You need to do it too, Sarah. That's the sister, by the way, Sarah. Yeah, perfect advice, Alex. Oh, thank you very much, Shane. Oh, Charlie Collison, well done. Nice one, Charlie. Thank you. Thanks for joining us. Thank you for joining us at the end of the stream. Yeah, you've missed us. Loved some of what you asked. I've been giving you a lot of support. Well, the brickie. Chengi is the guy most can relate to, I think. Um, yeah. Well, I've heard that's the case with, like, a lot of bricklaying channels. Everyone's different, aren't they? Yeah, everyone's text different things away from videos. You can relate to different channels through different ways. Yeah. At the end of the day, if you get bored, everyone's the same. Yeah. All the channels are different. All the other ones are different ways, different little niches and stuff. And that's what makes it entertaining. And that's why I never get any work done, because I keep watching everybody, instead of getting me out of the single. Friends asking if Charlie's going live tonight. Are you? I think he's used to doing this one, maybe. Yeah. Well, I think we'd better wrap it up there. Yeah. 20 per state now, so... Thank you so much for waiting to get on the Xbox. Got a book, we're going to be on the Xbox. Not quite. I think all the YouTubers do a good job of charling yourself and Chengi from the stock. Everyone lives from each other. Yeah, exactly. One wants a coffee, so... All right. Tell me the secret one. Oh, you just read that one? I've just read that, yeah. Right, let's wrap up then. Thank you, everyone, for tuning in. And a massive thank you to everybody for 15,000 subscribers. Definitely thank you. You're not exactly something we thought would be. Well, I didn't think we'd be doing this to stream tonight, but the last few days it's just done, which is great. So we appreciate all the support. Yeah. And yeah, just thank you. Thank you, everybody. Thanks for tuning in. And we'll hopefully... Next time we do go live, hopefully it's a bit more organized. We'll see how that goes. But until then, we'll see you on Friday. Friday, half past eight. Friday, half past eight. So thank you very much. Yeah, we're just going to send us from everybody now. So thank you again. Before you all go, don't forget to like the video. As you go in, click that like button. God, give me a YouTube bit. Yeah, I can't think of anything else to say. You can't say subscribe because the subscribers are here. Well, yeah. And then next time we put a fencing video, watch it because they're good. People don't like our fencing videos, but the last one was a good one. You're talking to the wrong people. The subscribers are all watching it. It's everyone who's not in this chat. You need to get the bell. Yeah, we've got a lot of subscribers. We're very grateful. Right, I'll stop in bickering you now. Thank you, everybody. See you soon. Thank you, and good night.
