No 'huffing and puffing' here: brick manufacturing on 'How America Works'

[@ginNjus]

Let's bring back more manufacturing back to America.

Got to finish this episode. It left me hanging! Hard work is good for the soul.

After enlightenment my thoughts were no more. No longer did I hear that voice of condescendence, of judgement. And that was the greatest relief of all. You are enlightened. You are integrated and complete. You are just having fun remembering this. And there are so many ways to have fun!

I just toured this plant today! Awesome to see in person and meet the good folks at OCB. They even let us make our own bricks and write our names in them. Can't wait for that delivery!!

I use to do Mason tending for my older brother and his boss, and it's hard work. But I did learn how to fix chimneys and other brick material that needs restoration. Knowing how to use a trowel correrctly and mixing the motar properly is essential. I also worked at a Lumber Yard when I was in my late teens to early 20's as a Forklift Operator building loads and filling orders for Customers and different job sites, and I really enjoyed it. It was hard work, but there's nothing like the smell of fresh pine, and other wood material that has stayed in my memory for over 20 years now, and I take pride in my work. I remember the truck drivers that came to pick up big orders use to be so impressed with the loads I'd build that they go get my Supervisor out of his office and bring him down to the yard and show him the kinds of orders and loads I built, and Wicks Lumber in Meredith, N.H. greatly appreciated my hard work and high attention to detail. I'm 42 years old now, and could probably still work at the same level as I did in my 20's, but I'd have to condition my body to do so again because such labor work is hard on the body, especially ones lower back.

I wanna start a Brick making business.

Personally, I would like a list of the buildings that were built with the brick from this company. Because if Gino was ever having an off day, distracted by something else going on, or even out sick, there’s no telling if the quality of the brick was good enough to make sure a building built with it stands. Regardless, it’s inspiring to watch how the process works. I do struggle a bit with the math, however. If they are capable of putting out 7,000 bricks an hour, then why are they only getting 30,000 out of a day on average and noting that 40,000 would be a real struggle? There definitely has to be something else in the mix that wasn’t included in the video. I assume.

1,000 windmills needed to bake a brick

[@izdatsumcp]

We need to throw 1,000 bricks at every windmill.

Broke the mold. Good omen unless you're talking about someone named Damien and it's a jackal impression. Really bad luck. Extremely bad temper. Worst customer ever. Horrible taste. But what can you do?
