When I finally had need of a mason, I was sad to learn that he in fact meant to charge for his services. Free mason, my ass. Since his desired compensation bordered on the extortionate, I decided to do the job myself. Now I know why JC had to be a carpenter. For were he a brick-layer, he woulda been a habitual and incessant blasphemer. Whatever the non-free masons charge, next time I’m paying it. ---

What were you bricking up? And did you do any praying beforehand? ---

It’s sort of a planter, but quite tall - in essence a 4’tall, 5’x2’ rectangle. ---

I really enjoy the sound of troweling mortar on brick. I think I would like to be a mason, except for the fact that I am incredibly lazy. ---

> [@friedo](#): > > I really enjoy the sound of troweling mortar on brick. I think I would like to be a mason, except for the fact that I am incredibly lazy. No you wouldn’t. The extent of my masonry experience was humping cinder block and mixing mortar for a day. By the end of the day, the skin on my fingers was shredded and I was worn to a nub. I admire good masonry, but I’ll leave it to the lunatics who love to do it. ---
