- Bricklaying - how I do soldiers, put lintels on and bed the wall plate on
you can find the Rhino blocks I use along with my profiles here - www.rhino-buil...
The wallplate straps are for storm lift movement. Great video!
This is a UK video only. Wall plates need to be mechanically fastened to masonry in North America and most countries in the world. The 4" block is also not allowed either. The 4" block is used as filler only and not structural. Just saying!
This channel just keeps growing well done iz keep it up brother 💯
Thanks so much brother 🤜🤛
Good info again Izzy, used those LBC few week on a pillar. Remember using them at college back in the day lol
Not my favourite brick, but we got there!
My old boss said that's what he also used at college 😂 u lads had it tougher when you were learning 😰
Izzy, big men 💪, bricklayers 🏆 👍, thanks youuuu 👍,
Great work really cracked on there and keeping the apprentice busy but having time to give him your tips !
That's what it's all about mate!
Looking good that mate nice chunky wall plate 👍👍
Yees you know it...had to remortgage the house for those two bits😰😂😂😂
@@IzzytheBricky 😂😂😂👍
Hello Izzy looking good, I think old Paddledog will be on you , remember to keep that Drew in line , sometimes those youngsters need a bit of discipline 😂😂 cheers 👍👍
😰😰 oh dear🤦
To be honest with you Bud, I've actually had to have a few strong words said to him today about a few things😰
Hope your well mate!!
@@IzzytheBricky we are all good 👍😀
You do consistently high quality work bud. I always. Enjoy your vids. That trowel has to be a 12 inch I’ve never used anything else.
Thanks Richard, do me best👌 it's actually a 13" 😍 narrow London 😍
Fantastic trowel mate
Roof Ties (L-Shaped metal brackets) are the last resort system to stop wind lifting the roof off, their secodary job is to stop any lateral movement from trusses/rafters
Quality work also👍
Nice one mate. Drew is still keen i see 👍👍👍
Always buzzin to be working mate, he's a good lad🤜🤛
Great video again Izzy you always have a very positive attitude to your work, it’s definitely helping Drew as he sounds more confident and asking sensible questions. Good luck to you both.
Cheers Spesh! Recently some said to me "solutions, not problems" and my whole outlook has changed towards work🤜🤛💪 He's doing great mate! Coming along well and fast
Brilliant mate only becomes a problem when you don’t have a solution until then it’s a situation. 😂👍
Do ever bolt the wall plate into block as well as restraints or is that not a done thing ?
nice one cheers lads
Fair play for doing extension work I do the same and am 29 this year, my most dreaded days are getting out of the ground workers wavy footings, from that point it’s happy days🤣 that lintel you should be fine with as it’s not a heavy load…I’ve had the same gave cavity lintel 120 bearing 2400 opening but was only carrying 5 courses with balcony roof behind 👌🏼 get yourself some fitzbrick clamps if you haven’t best little tool ever and feels so good every time you can use them 🤪
How do you come across these, extensions out the ground ready for you would be a dream compared to site work
@@brickpug6088 bollocks mate our ground workers seem to think wet concrete finds it’s own level end up cutting splits on the first course, all caving in, loose patio slabs, concrete slab never has right cavity size so I have to sort that out…site work is piss easy because it has to be bang on from the start
@@sammsammmsammmm well yeah granted not saying it's a walk in the park but like you say once you're over the shite.. much nicer to do privates. Decent muck plod along still get it done but on site it's a mad rat race
@@brickpug6088 depends you still get nasty jobs or having to faff with silly little piers then sit fat steels on top it’s still stressful mate honestly 🤣 I like the thought of smashing a lift a day with a gang on site but we’re all different
@@sammsammmsammmm well swap for a week and be begging for our old jobs back 🤣
Mentioned on another video about using a wire reinforcement mesh to wrap it around the base of the wall plate and then that way the wall plate is ready for plastering inside. It does actually work the wall plates solid on there even though I know the roof weight will hold it down. See so many times the internal wall plates not meshed and just plastered over and it all cracks from the wood…
Nothing better than the plates going on mate 🤣.Looking good aswell.
Hope your ok mate 👍
Cheers fella! Here today doing the gables! All good mate! House goes on the market Saturday 🎉🎉off on holiday in a few weeks🎉✈️
Hope you lads are doing well!
@@IzzytheBricky
Good luck with all of it isaac and enjoy the break mate 👍
Excelente trabajo, saludos desde chile 👌🏻 👏
Awesome work buddy! I'm glad to know you both almost have that extension finished! Keep up the great work as always mate, looking forward to the next one! 👍😁👌👷♂️🧱
Cheers my guy 🤜🤛 yea buzzing to see this one done, hopping onto the gables tomorrow 👌👌💪
The straps are vertical restraint straps. To stop the roof lifting off in high wind. In the UK they should be max 2m centres and one at each end of timber.
Can’t beat gettin the pan on , let’s have it !
500 👍
Air space between brick and 4 inch block is large in some areas and tight in others? I assume you're putting in vapor barrier and insulation in? What are you doing to insulate the walls?
Nice crisp work as usual just one bit of advice you should never put a wall plate on a split course of thermalite the payload of the roof will crack them splits
Thank you very much buddy! And noted! If I can avoid that in the future I'll do my best to do so🤜🤛💪
Knock a course of mate brick to high for rafters and soffit
Just matching the house soffit hight buddy. It's sat at a 45° angle from the facia upwards. If there's and issue, I'll wack um off👌
You got drew on the Trowel yet Izzy, looks like he's doing well 👍
Cheers Harry! I've had him laying a few blocks actually, perping bricks too. He's definitely not a complete spaz with a trowel...so that's a good start!
Hope your good mate! I'm well behind on your videos, and everyone else's too..alot of shite cracking off at the moment, so me spare time to watch videos has totally gone out the window mate 😰
@@IzzytheBricky seen your moving, 🤯🤯 so stress full, hopefully I've got 10 plus years before I do that again😂
@@IzzytheBricky yeah alot of jobs to do on privates apart from laying 👍
@@theafter8bricky haha yea mate, house move and a quick divorce 😂 onwards and upwards brother
@@IzzytheBricky dang 🙏 head up bro,
🔥App onwards👍👍👍
Do you not put wall ties in
Izzy how are you fastening the wall plate to top of masonry wall? Obviously mortar bed does nothing. Cheers!
Hi mate, we use lateral restraints. A long L shape metal rod, anchors onto the timber and the wall below
@@IzzytheBricky I have seen some UK masonry video's where other masons install the top plate on the wall in a bed of mortar? We use structural block 6-8" wide and cast bolts with in top of wall and mechanically fasten wood to block. We have to install protection by code between wood and block to keep wood from rotting. Also brick work if used has to meet certain PSI rating. Brickwork here is used mostly as veneer here.
The wall plate should also be drilled and fastened to block work straps are not enough where are the wall ties?
@@tridens6708 4" block is also not structural. Should be using 6-8 block instead of 4" block. Missing corefills and bond beam to make this a proper structure. You then bolt the PWF plate to the bondbeam which is filled with concrete.
Cavity tray at eaves.???
was thinking the same
Can't do any harm?
@@IzzytheBricky I agree with the comment you don't need a tray at eaves as it's not doing anything plus no weeps or pigs tab at end , but good work otherwise all neat and tidy keep it up pal 👍 from a bricky of 40 years.
@@anthonymclean9743 thank you buddy! To be honest I never knew that about the tray above eves, thanks for letting us know🤜🤛
Ever thought of using a gauged box section clamped on? No tape also no tipping 👍
Sometimes, but with these extensions I just copy the house gauge and transfer that to my profile buddy🤜🤛
Like that aswell but I meant for the soldiers haha
@@jsaunders9804 yea I have mate but the pillars were very green so didn't wanna pull them over 😂
Hey man wat would it take to get one of those shirts if wearing in this video??
Hi mate you can get it from Bricklayers Social Club.com
Remember when I said Support them soldiers they fight for our freedom lol only joking always use your level to with some f clamps saves u time and money nuff love
Haha mate had a nightmare with those back ones! They were all over the shop🤫🤦 cheers for your support as always my mate!!
Do you travel any where for work
Hiya, only based around Derby and Nottingham really 😊
Never seen you doing sites.is there a reason.
I was on site for 6 years mate...and just ended up doing privates alot more. Bit more relaxed and not too much stress if your not the one having to organise everything and deal with customers and that🤜🤛👌
Your bed needs to be a bit more uniform mate looks very rushed
Hello
No ones needs to wave a 13inch trowel and a little extension😂

Nice job fella but horrible bricks, I hate flettons.
Cheers buddy, and yea worst bricks to lay
