Proper graft today Charlie on your lonesome. Top job bro. Just one point though the Labourer also feels knackered the next day, but that doesn’t make any difference when the labourer is there the bricklayers just always want them to do more & more without having the worry how they’ll feel the next morning!!! No chance a labourer can say let’s leave the others till tomorrow as I’ll be toiling 👍😅

Hoddy for 6 & 1. Obviously couldn’t keep up especially without a bath. 2 x 4”solids was normal and if we were pushed, 3 x 4” solids up a ladder without a telehand or forky I was fitter than a butcher’s dog. Back then, I’d pick up 2 x 4” solids above my head no problem. I definitely couldn’t do that now though

It was complete torture. The houses were to be many millions worth in a rich area. Hence no kit all steel & block All the old school bricklayers were going crazy too & me being young and new to the trade was my immediate thought I can’t handle this job. I realised that they would not be allowed again but we had this site that was huge & we built with them for another year before the job was finished & so was all our jobs.
