  • I reused some old bricks salvaged from other areas of the backyard to build a pathway that connects the barn door and side door. No more stepping through dirt and mud! This was my first time working with any kind of paver, and with the exception of a few hiccups, it went really well. Now that the workshop construction is done, I'm going to work on the rest of the backyard. This is just the beginning. Enjoy!

    Take a guess as to how many individual pieces of brick make up this walkway! I'll like your comment if you're within 25 bricks

    Before putting down sand, you really need a crushed gravel base. That will keep them from sinking over time

    This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection czcams.com/users/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.

    In Europe we lay sand with addition of cement to glue the bricks and make it stick and harder to wash away by rains. Also we compact sand with cement to make sure it wont move on its own. But california probably dont have as much rain and problems coming with that :)

      @@Bewefau While I do appreciate the work, and the video content of it + the re-purposing of the bricks, that is still a pretty small pathway.. It would have been very little effort of the people pouring concrete to frame out that area for a walkway and cant imagine it being a whole lot more added to total cost.

    Hi! So I'm an audio engineer by trade, I saw your video making the sound proof room to do voiceovers in! My bit of advice would be that sound proofing and sound treatment are two different things. Your current voiceovers sound a little boxy, so maybe add more things in that room that will deaden the room sound. Great videos!

    Best all round handyman in the world...and you did not hammer your thumb in the "technical difficulties"! (I know what that feels like!) I am too busy trying to figure out the time frame of all the other projects you did in that area based on your previous videos, so I have concluded that this brick laying in this video is confusing me! Can't guesstimate the number of bricks therefore. But you can still "like" my comment! (Makes an otherwise crappy day feel not so crappy.)

  • @jmonahan1
    @jmonahan1 Před 2 měsíci

    PVC pipe is not UV resistant and will shatter over a couple years, causing your to have to dig up your brick work. Gravel fines should also be laid down and compacted before sand. A good video on how to lay bricks is provided by This Old House, search for it.

  • @marioglodek6755
    @marioglodek6755 Před 3 lety

    Just a piece of advice to make the installation got faster. lay all the pavers excluding the cut pavers, then once all the bricks are laid, just cut away and lay them. then you can measure more than one at a time and cut a few in one go.
