I have noticed it is hard to find good brick layers anymore. Most of the mortar they mix just crumbles in your fingers like sand. They dont use enough Portland cement to cut back on costs. That and they dont soak the bricks and the things suck all of the water out of the mortar before it has a chance to set. This isn't something I just read on line I was taught to lay brick and stone by a stone mason when I was in High School. I helped him on weekends. Worth |
