    Bizarrely the thing that impressed me most about this video is that you didn't feel the need to relentlessly take the piss out of of the last guys work. Pointed out where it was wrong and just got on with sorting it, that shows massive maturity in my opinion. Looking forward to seeing how this job progresses, Izzy. 👍

      @IzzytheBricky  Před rokem +14

      Thanks very much mate glad you enjoyed the video! Listen, I think we've all done work what isn't the best. But I'm really not bothered about calling people out. Parts were/are bad, parts are good. But ALOT could be down to circumstances. I wasnt there when it was first built. So there could be very very valid reasons for some things being out and that. End of the day, were all in the same boat...most of us trying to do a half decent job 💪
      Appreciate the support Jim! Plenty videos coming. Thinking about doing daily videos on this project

    I liked the part you put in training the new guy, I worked 4 years hod carrying and had to watch and teach myself everything I eventually learned. My boss was the owner of a small company and my mistake was showing more initiative than his son, the guy I was carrying for. Best thing I learned is if I'm gonna sling bricks around for a living I wasn't gonna do it for someone else.

    Didn’t realise you are from Nottingham Izzy when I was labouring,before I decided I wanted to lay the bricks not load out I cycled from wollaton to ruddington at half five to then get a lift with one of the bricklayers to Coventry a full days hard graft drive back to Rudd then cycle home to wollo that lasted for 14 months then the bricklayers got a job on the new builds opposite chilwell retail park,and I left after 16 months when that estate was finished, been a bricklayer ever since I completed levels 1,2,3 in 96,your right,the work is out there you have to be passionate enough to go after it 👍🏻

    Thanks for the upload. Can I just point out one thing. I know you weren't being horrible but try not to use the word Spaz.

    I always hate taking over someone else’s work and trying to figure out what they done and how to make it work out and make it look good as well I never say anything bad about other Bricklayers 🧱🧱 But I do shake my head a lot well done man 🤔🧱🧱👍⚒😎

      It's always difficult init James, but like you said, I'm not there to slate someone, as I don't know the circumstances. The weather could have been against them, or maybe there head wasn't in a good place. I made a right cock up on Monday simply because my headspace wasn't Very good that day. (Should be a video on Sunday with the cock up in 😂)
      Cheers for the support mate appreciate it! Hope your well!
