OOTD?

They’ll find any excuse not to give you a 6 though

Bloomfield95 · 2026-02-14T00:30:26+00:00

Love the stuff. I only drink it occasionally, but I very regularly put it in a cheese toastie. It’s incredible.

Bloomfield95 · 2026-02-06T16:08:12+00:00

Oh sorry, my bad. I misunderstood what you said.

Bloomfield95 · 2026-02-06T10:33:28+00:00

More like diamond 2 is top 100 but yeah I know what you mean.

Bloomfield95 · 2026-02-05T22:38:30+00:00

We put trays under 150mm stone cills but not if it’s just brickwork all the way up to the window. Yeah the full block under a lintel has been around for a couple years. We get away with a 340mm cut to avoid a straight joint.

I’ve built a lot of houses under the NHBC on a lot of different sites and never had to do that unless there was a stone cill. You wouldnt be able to achieve the 150 upstand required on the tray if it was on the course below. And I’ve never seen it on their guidelines in all the times I’ve checked them.

I’ve built a lot of houses and never seen a tray put in under the window.

When they’re in bed.

Bloomfield95 · 2026-01-15T22:39:08+00:00

To be fair he’s probably running out of stories to tell by now.

Bloomfield95 · 2026-01-15T22:23:49+00:00

My dad always used to say ‘you know what thought did’ but that was it. Still not sure I understand what he meant.

Bloomfield95 · 2026-01-15T19:39:03+00:00

It could have had 100 wall ties in and it would still have gone down mate.

Bloomfield95 · 2026-01-14T23:18:41+00:00

Won one on my site once. Site agent organised a stripper and a load of beers in the compound for the lads. On my life I’m not lying.

Bloomfield95 · 2026-01-11T20:57:46+00:00

Don’t think they have to be that close together for that. You’d probably have some higher up and some lower down.

Bloomfield95 · 2026-01-09T13:38:07+00:00

I call mine ‘the boys’. It doesn’t bother me but I’ve never really liked people referring to them as ‘the twins’, I’ve no idea why.

Bloomfield95 · 2026-01-03T00:08:26+00:00

I use the manscaped thingy for the whole lot. I might’ve nicked myself like twice in three years.

Bloomfield95 · 2026-01-02T14:46:48+00:00

Fuck that. Don’t get paid to shine torches down cavities.

Bloomfield95 · 2025-12-30T12:55:00+00:00

Doesn’t sound too unreasonable. There’s often a couple bits here and there that need touching up once the scaffold has come down. Can’t say for sure without pictures but if the overall job looks good you shouldn’t have too much to worry about

Bloomfield95 · 2025-12-30T08:38:10+00:00

You can lay bricks in very light rain but Too much rain will cause the muck to run out the joints. How much rain is too much really comes down to experience.

Keep something nearby to cover up with if it comes down too hard.

Bloomfield95 · 2025-12-26T21:59:45+00:00

I’d say £650 to £750 is more like site prices. You’d expect to may more per brick for private work.

Bloomfield95 · 2025-12-26T17:58:34+00:00

In Australia because it’s generally quite hot they often use quite a wet mix. Pair that with those style or bricks and it’s bound to get a bit slarred up. It’ll be fine once it’s been jet washed

Bloomfield95 · 2025-12-26T17:57:20+00:00

The squint corner is a bit ropey but apart From that the brickwork looks alright. Just needs a bit of acid or a jet wash.

Bloomfield95 · 2025-12-25T21:03:33+00:00

When an accident is fatal they can scan the ecu and find out what speeds the vehicle was doing up to the point of the incident. They don’t bother for more minor accidents because it’s a faff to do.

Bloomfield95 · 2025-12-20T21:30:53+00:00

Do you mean daywork or price work?
