@ResultantForce Bricklaying can actually be a great start to getting into the building and construction industry. It can actually take you in a number of directions. If interested visit our website.

The reason Bricklayers have to lay brick fast is because there dumb ass bosses dont no how to bid on a project and then count on the mason to bail them out of the mess they put themselves in. I bid my work so i dont have to bull whip my masons for speed and i expect my masons to take pride in there work. If you fly down the wall 9 out of 10 times you will not have full head joints and you can stand under it and not get wet in a thunder storm. Steve!!!!!!!!!!

It was a great day for the competition, we are lucky our sites don't look like this. It was only a fun speed test on the project and yes a very fun day.
