D.I.Y. brickwork 1

Dear readers, we are writing these posts, because we want to write some D.I.Y. Brickwork and building posts, so that you can learn something about how to built something yourself, at least in theory.So, keep reading please. 

My other sites; http://frankmenchise.com,http://diybrickwork.com,http://manneedsgod.co.uk  

Anyhow, you can see our articles at this address, http://diybrickwork.com,




This is how most times looks like when you are building something, you may have even people looking how the job is done. Note that the bricklayer has laid a full bed of mortar here, but when the bricks absorb moisture quickly this is not possible. 

Welcome to our article, DIY brickwork part 1. 

Dear readers, the original article of D.I.Y. brickwork is a long article; so, we are going to divide it up make, a few blogs, if you want to read it in the original form, click on the link above. Anyhow, I am writing these blogs about ‘D.I.Y. brickwork’, because I am a bricklayer by trade, so, I want to share my knowledge with you. 

You see, I have already written several of our blogs, telling you a few things about building, because I believe that even today, there are things that we must do ourselves, or employ qualified trades people to do the work. So, building knowledge can be helpful, for people that want to build something themselves, or perhaps have an idea what is involved if they want to become a bricklayer themselves. 

So, we are writing this articles of, D.I.Y brickwork, to help people that want to do some building work. In this article, we are describing how to lay bricks and other building works. I know that people can appreciate this for different reasons, and most times could be just to save money.

But, to do any building work, whether is just repairs, or build a small something, or build a house, we must at least know in theory what needs to be done, unless we are tradesmen and know what to do. So, it is wise to read articles about build. So, in this article we are going to write what we think can be helpful and paste articles that we think are helpful to learn how to build or repair things. 

But I want to point out that it is not possible to teach people to be a bricklayer just by reading a single article about bricklaying. For people that want to lay bricks, the best thing for them is to observe the bricklayers on the job, this is the quickest way to learn. However, even by observing how it is done, it will take a long time to learn bricklaying, in fact, it takes years to become a bricklayer but don’t be discouraged about that, because this article can help you, you see, you can learn enough to do what you want to do. Now, let me explain.

--------------------------------------------- 

Here we have a bricklayer laying bricks on a single wall in stretcher bond. What we bricklayer call stretcher bond, is the most important bond in brickwork, so, most jobs, if not all jobs must be started using this bond. 

--------------------------- 

Explaining my position and what we write  

Now let me explain, you should keep in mind that this ‘D.I.Y brickwork’ article, is part of my life story, and I am writing this article ‘D.I.Y brickwork’, since I am a bricklayer. I am partly retired now from building, so, I have been thinking that leaving behind my life building knowledge would be a waste; so, I want to share my building knowledge, and for this reason I am writing this article D.I.Y brickwork; where we want to show you how to build with bricks, since we want to tell you how bricklaying is done, I have thought that it would be good to tell you how to build a brick base for houses step by step for a start.

So, dear readers please note that this article here is the first article about building with bricks, it will be followed by several other building articles, where we share our bricklaying and building knowledge with you; because then I feel that I have contributed in a small way to the community by sharing what I have learned during my life; in the hope that this can help somebody that wants to do some brickwork.

As we know, we are born with the capacity to learn things; so, we believe that most people can do building work themselves, if they are shown how it is done. Therefore, in these  blogs or articles we will talk about the following activities; (1) How to build with bricks; (2) Building a brick base for houses. (3) Bricklayer laying bricks. (4) Getting ready to lay bricks. (5) Making sure we start the brickwork level; (6) Laying bricks on a sloping site; these are the main items that we are talking about in this article and the following articles. Of course, there is more to say about bricklaying, so, we are continuing with ‘D.I.Y brickwork’ in our next article; Building a brick base, and we will continue to write about brickwork until we complete the brick base at least, even if we have to write several articles about brickwork.

 

Building with bricks and other things

Dear readers, I believe that it is the duty of any human being to help humanity to improve their standard of living, as we have written in this website www.frankmenchise.com. So, let me pass to my readers some of my hard-learned knowledge, starting with how a bricklayer would build a house brick base.

But because it is hard to visualize some aspect of the bricklaying trade just by describing them, we are going to use some visual links from the internet to show you a few things about bricklaying, so, it is easier to follow, how to build this house brick base, I know that these are not my videos, but you see, ones you publish anything on the Internet those things are supposed to be shared from the rest of the community, at the same time whoever has published them can still claim to be the owner.
