Practice Makes Perfect

The brick is finished! What a process – to keep lines level and walls flush and plumb all while maintaining uniform mortar width is a real skill. My hat is off to all masons who excel at what they do and who have made so many beautiful masonry creations throughout history. For our wall, we played with the idea of a soldier course topping off the last row of brick as a transition to the metal siding. It was vetoed.

My Hat Off to all Masons

The southern portion of the shed is bricked. Some difficulties definitely arose – the eastern portion has a bit of arc to it in the lower half of the wall. Overall, I am pleased with the wall.
