    What a thing of great beauty to see and behold some great brickwork is.
    Straight off the trowel, no jiggery pokery, its as you see it freshly laid.

    Yeah, that's good Al, but can you brick up a letter box?
    I wanted to become a brickie but my old man said "No son, learn a trade."

    No fancy bonds any more, I sometimes wish there were as I like to lay the fancier bonds, but this house has an arch albeit rendered.

    I was watching a team of brickies working up here a few months ago. A wall appeared in front of me in about ten minutes. They had a team of about 8 brickies and about four labourers (I say "about" because you couldn't count them because they were running around like ants).

    Two of the brickies were just trowelling the mud on, and the others were laying the bricks. They'd go around a corner and continue elsewhere, and then someone would come back to quickly clean up the wall.

    I've never seen anything like it.

    Obviously they had the teamwork down to a fine art.
    I worked for a mob years ago and we would start and finish a single story house in a day.

    Good one, Al. Few things in life are as satisfying as looking at the results of your own work - especially when it's done well.

    Nice clean work Al, ever thought of moving to Sydney? Your talents are wasted down there.
