Brick Soldiers and Concrete Blocks In The Rain

Welcome to England, Jank. Welcome to Brick Lane in England. It's raining, I'm stressing out. And there's one inside that building, so I'm just going to take it down. That's all I have to do, really. I need a holiday, Jank. Have you got anything to say to your fans? Fans? Yeah, your fans. I don't have any fans. You do have fans. Love me. This weather is belting. It's not belting. That ain't good. We are majorly under the coff here. No Jank tomorrow. Got to get these fronts done. Scaffolds are coming on Monday. It's raining. Blocks are wet. No more excuses. That's what you've got to do when you're under the coff. Not even had time to get the camera this morning while I've done them soldiers. Doing our best, aren't we, Jank? Got our weep holes in. You want to film them just in case we get the weep police out. These are actually concrete blocks on the front. Welcome to England, Jank. Welcome to bricklaying in England. What we can do once we've got a course through there, we can just knock them back. That's going to be a full block. Belting. What is it, Jank? Belting? Can you believe it? That's better. I hear you all the time. I'm cheering you. You're my supporter. You've now got a bit of weight on there, Jank. That line's moved off there, so that's not good, is it? Straighten this off. Right, you see that? It's come apart a little bit. That's too bad, actually. We'll just do the bottom. Lift back now, Jank. That's all right. That's better, Jank, isn't it? Join them up, Jank, and move it, yeah. Them two's moving. Right, that's one side done, mate, so... Did we have a weep bench in there? We did. Weep bench in. How are you feeling? Cold. Not really, I'd nearly done. Done this side. Jank's sweeped it, cleaned it. That's how we're looking. As tidy as we can do it. It's been difficult because it's been a bit rainy. So... It's been raining anyway, so... I'm going to scrape on that front. No weep hole, so I'm going to have to leave that off. It's a dead trick of his. Look at that brick. That's... Forget we're protruding these now. You have to get all your shoulders leaning the right way. We go, then we go. Stay dry. Stay dry for us. That could cause us trouble, see. Off you go, sunshine. Push into it. The more you mow with these, the worse it can go. You've just got to put it in straight and then... Like that lad, it's like... People say, if you do that, it's like, well, how do you butter a piece of toast? Pretend you're buttering a piece of toast, isn't it? Let it dry in my straw. Hang on. One, two, three, four, five, six. Are you out for that weepy jeepy? Every six. Every six brick. Six soldiers, or... Two bricks. Three soldiers is a brick. One, two, three, four, five, six. One left. Yeah, just join two up again, Dan. A nice tip for you here is, as you can see, this has been rendered, and that's brickwork here, and there's like a 10mm gap to allow for the rendering. So, we've set our line up here, struck it through on the brickwork, and you can get these nail ties, just bend them up, put them onto your brick, put it onto your block, and then weight it down with a common or something, or a brick. There's that, and now you're striking along where you want to go. See them on this side? See our gap there? Put our nail tie on, put it to where we want to go, and then weight it down. I'm trying to do it with the camera when it's out of work. There we go. Nice and bonny. It won't work with these. Just working a very small scrape on here. So, remember, try and keep it all away from your backs. A few blocks. You do that every time, don't you? People want to see how you bust it and everything. These are concrete. Up to there, round there, wiggle it round, wiggle it, wiggle it. Always want to wiggle your blocks left and right. Let it never towards you and away from you. A little bit high, but it's not nothing to worry about. Go in there, do you think? Do you want to put that in there? There's one sitting right on top of there. So I'll just butter this. I thought there was going to be something like that there. I just carved it, there we go. Just have to die that one in, does it really matter? About done, boss? More, yeah. OK, thank you, boss. We're done. It's only about half twelve, I think. Looking grim, so we've covered up the best we can. That's it now, worked up. The scaffolder's coming on Monday. Lift everything up and then we can crack on with that. Dave's back on the fourth, I think, so then the team's officially back. Thanks for watching, see you in the next one.
