Bricklaying, 1st day on the extension

[@captainamerica9028]

Good job guys. It's nice to see you are not wasting motion and time beating on bricks like alot of YT videos. I was trained by an old bricklayer years ago, and he was so fast that he alone, with one guy mixing mud and carrying bricks, could brick a 1500 sq ft home in 2 1/2 days. His secret was in the mud spreading. He spread the mud the perfect amount, where all he had to do is lay the brick on the bed joint and press very little. He scraped the excess one time, and used it to butter the head joint on the brick he had just laid. The head joints of the bricks were buttered on the brick after it was laid. He taught me to have no lost motion. He trained me to do it, but I didn't make a career out of brick laying. I just didn't like all the bending over. About 20 years is all a bricklayer can do, before their back gives out.

I'm from Canada and work as a mason and I was shown a trade secret making mud using dish soap. I learned it from the Brits over here I worked for as a lacky . Makes it nice and creamy and I noticed him bubbling it up in the drum mixer. Wish I lived there id work for ya bud. Cheers

Maybe become an architect or builder?

[@jeremycorbyn9725]

Could of gone to college for free to be a brickie just saying mate 🤣

[@BudgetGainsByJJ]

@@dieterrosswag933 it’s definitely a difficult job (Coming from experience, I used to be a Brickie) but some people just enjoy it. If the lad wanted to be in the building industry, I would recommend that he becomes a builder, architect or even an engineer. Unfortunately Bricklaying has its negatives health wise, but you can learn a lot, it’s the foundation to becoming a builder.

[@BudgetGainsByJJ]

@@dieterrosswag933 manual labor is by far paid way too little! I agree. And you have me thinking, tradesman would be far better off working together (buying, renovating and selling) I will definitely consider that.

I like the way you set out putting the line on the blocks. I normally put marks on the footing but everything gets in the way, will be doing it like that in future.

Just mark it with a pencil or tape helps as no guessing involved
