When i came i landed on the Wednesday at 5:40pm and was laying bricks at 6am on the Thursday.....lol Not quite as much work at the mo but still loads out there

Oh yea sorry,i remember now that picture madplumber took of you during ths mardi-gras

Yes true, but if you researched in the first place and even came on holiday I'm sure you'd of had more of an idea of what it was like Ps Change your profile pic cause I'm sure people won't take you serious the way you're holding your hand on your hip....lol

Hmmmmmm plenty action in your bedroom aye ;-)

Well said

Oh burswood aye, in other words you spent $60 on the food and blowed the rest in the casino......lol

It's slowed up now a bit but still loads more work than in the uk from what I've heard, good luck working with the new gauge as well......lol Two brick high by a brick and a half long, the same again but only a brick in height (long reach) oh yea and wait till you see the damp .....lol....internals don't get mud between in the perps only in the first course and on the corners, yea it'll seen strange at first but you'll get used to it quite easy. Good luck Daz

Yea when you get here the first thing you'll need to get will be a shovel....lol

Seriously, you'll turn up they'll give you a drawing of a single skin corner racked up one side with cut up done with hammer and bolster, no disc cutter......lol....then the return is shorter but squared up,i think off memory one side was 4 long and the other was 5.5, oh and a pillar about 600mm away from one end, pillar was about 15 course high with a corble on top and filled in with headers, just make Sure you use a square cause they will to check it and follow the drawing to the letter, oh yea gauge they check so make Sure it's spit on and use a string line when seeing out pillar to wall cause he'll check with a long straight edge. You'll have to set out the cavity but only one course but make sure you use the ties all the way up spaced and in the right course, oh and they pull on them too to see if you've missed any and pushed them in later.....lol . Apart from that though that's about all it is,i think there was only about 230 bricks in it so it won't be the hardest days work you've ever done....lol Good luck but I'm sure you won't need it. Ps That's when i did mine but i was in the first ones to ever do it so don't know if it's changed

Yes mate

Sorry i can't help you on that one, that option want available when i did mine a few years ago,i can't see it being that hard to be honest if the actual test is anything to go by.

Yea you'll be all good, just tell them.......yea I've just put one on top of another and it's perfect mate :-)

Don't know but do bricklayers have any skills......lol

It's good to look at others opinions but at the end of the day i reckon you'll love it :-) You'll make you're own opinions anyway

Can't see your problem, get a another job, you don't have to stay with that company
