Growing up with a mason as a dad (I was the tender during school breaks and weekends), I know this work very well. Hardest work I've ever done. We laid 700-1000 8" block in a 10 hour day depending on conditions (those 12" block will absolutely kill ya, wanna sleep well at night try this out) . The only negative I can say about the jobs they all did is that was pretty messy and lots of wasted mud. They are all a lot cleaner masons on a real job I would think. Congrats to all the competitors.

[@joeblow8206]

Try 16-18" grout filled block. 8" is nothing after that, grabbing four at a time. I used to stand them up one in front of another and slide my forearms in them to carry four. Pass the up a scaffold one at a time constant for a whole pallet. Lots to press. First year in id laugh at the 20yr laborers.

This was pretty awesome , been on the trades for 40+ years and done it all , But subbed all concrete and block work because it is damn hard work . I would liked to see the quality of the finished walls but as much as this was block laying it's any endurance competition that not many people could complete like these guys did . I started out framing with a 28oz framing hammer and every single nail was sunk by hitting it with that hammer , bent over putting walls together flat on the slabs and then standing them up completed . These days so many tools have been developed to make jobs easier on the body , Nail guns for every type of fastener it takes to build a structure ! Not masonsry though , it's still one block at a time and strength and endurance , so in his competition I give them a bit of a break on the quality and challenge anyone bitching about that to go out and try it for 5 minutes , they would have to catch their breath before they could shoot their mouth off . Hats off to those guys , all of them , it's the guys who do the tough jobs that I root for . Congratulations to the Winners !

I think then competition is is to have some fun and speed is what the promoters are pushing . Give guys a break and I imagine that it's not the product they would produce for a paying customer and BTW , hispanics were not the only race represented there and none of the other teams walls looked any better .

These people are so concerned with speed they absolutely forget that quality trumps all. I'd rather a man lay 40 block a day and it be plumb and level and fully mudded than someone slinging 200 a day and you're constantly filling gaps and cracks and trying to compensate for the lack of plumb.

I guess the U.S can't produce the best trowels in the block. Hater's are always going to hate.

@@csanchez91766 well the guy he hired was Mexican...soooo... It doesn't take a genius to look at the beautiful historic American masonry, and then whatever that hut bunk is south of the border, to get a good idea of who the better masons are.

Those walls looked like crap though, there shouldn't be a ton of shadows. When they were tooling their walls you could see how crap they look. You can get away with that 20' in the air but the first 3-10 naw lol

Just watched a short of someone laying down 4 bricks and I was so transfixed that now I'm here. I've never had a single grain of interest in construction, and yet-

[@Greenlightandgo]

8K prize haha. Cracked me up. Pretty much means you can do it with no prize. This is just a passion.

[@plymouthrock5281]

You have such different blocks that most brickies use in England. We do use one like this on some jobs, but not often. When laying our blocks it takes 2 hands to place blocks as they're more dense plus hard to do with one hand.
