    Made my day with memories of building my house 40 odd years back. So refreshing to know that Flemish bond is still up there. Spoke to a young lad starting out and he has yet to do any work other than stretcher and bucket handle pointing. He had never heard of lime mortar which suprised me. Loved the nice touch of the camber arch over the window and a proper looking cill.

    Cracking job Chris , I’m a time served Brickie myself who gave up the trade in my late 20’s to take up a completely different career path - I seen far too many old Scottish brickies bent , stooped , broken and riddled with arthritis with the cold damp weather at home - I digress , it’s great seeing the easy skill you show on your vids and I whooped with delight when I correctly predicted how you were going to overcome facing the RSJ with cuts etc . Look forward to more of your content Chris ✊

    Very nice job. I never had the patience to learn bricklaying. I had a very good friend who could lay bricks and blocks and stones from the time we were ten years old. I always admired his patience. Maybe after watching you I will give it a try, patience has set in as I got older. Thank you for the great content.
