And he used to finish early . And when he left the site. You would have other spreads checking his walls for level and that. And it was all spot on. He used to make a fortune 😂😂😂

@@tonyk.9212 I hear you.. however, it defeats the object of having ready made hacksaw marks in your profile. The time it takes him to put his gauging level on and mark it up means he has “damage free” profiles. I used to work with a Bricky who used to Mark a profile and then tell you we need to grind 15mm so keep below. When I went out on my own, I’d mark the profiles to suit as opposed to the lads guessing how high or low they’d have to be each course 👊🏼
