3.0 out of 5 stars Bricklaying, 25 Jan 2003

S. Rummens (birmingham United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Bricklaying (Paperback)

This book was written by an Australian and it shows! The text is concise and potentially hard to follow as a result of its brevity although there are many clear diagrams. Many of the techniques covered are not really relevent to UK building practices eg pipework in cavity walls, and dimensions are imperial and may not correspond to UK material sizes.

The easy going style of the author is refreshing and the long section of BBQ designs was all too predictable, cobbers!

3.0 out of 5 stars Ok with Fosters Lager, 23 Oct 2007

Z. L. Richards "Daza" (Wales, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Bricklaying (Paperback)

There's a lot in this book and the author obviously knows his trade but he's Australian. I purchased this book for the concrete block section in readiness for my garage build. In this respect the book is useless and discusses non UK block sizes. I agree with the first review here, if in the UK look elsewhere.

2.0 out of 5 stars It is stretching a point to suggest that this book is suitable for novices, 1 Mar 2009

T. S. Ward "Large" (London) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Bricklaying (Paperback)

Current building regulations here in the UK would almost certainly make the contents of this book redundant here. In addition, the book is poorly written and hence, confusing.
