    These knuckle heads need to listen. You’re good at keeping your cool and continue to work. Some formans get really short tempered. Good work flow. I mostly lay stone but been doing a lot of brick lately and have been learning from watching your videos

    Think I've been watching too many of these. Woke up in a cold sweat last night convinced I'd missed out a load of wall ties and forgot to clean up those damn snots...
    Then I remembered I'm not even a bricklayer. 😆 Never laid a brick I'm my life.

    Charlie, you have now reached the stage where you masonry skills are just excellent.
    I'd love to see you get into masonry restoration. Your attention to detail would allow you to excel!
    Mortar color matching , etc
    That's what my company does.
    Custom restorations, cracks repaired , total restoration of all masonry work .
    Pleasure watching your videos!

    Keep at it Liam worth sticking at it. I seen plenty a go get frustrated go back to hod or labouring coz they can do it. Then later regret not earning the decent money and potential a trade gives you. I was white slow and kept forgetting wall ties.straight joints. Losing bond, forgetting damp and cavity trays. All sorts of dock ups. It's part of learning.
