Fucking lame, I am leaving now to go lay brick in the rain!!!! Lame!!!!!

Won't the mortar get washed away working in the rain?
Hmm...might end up being a shaky structure by the time it's all said and done with.

anything Dan works on is a shaky structure :zombie:

 

[dan of bereavement]

Ha ha ha, I got shakey for ya Mark lol!

Yeah, so I got sent home for Srtig's exact reason. The inspector saw us grouting the fresh(and very wet) work, and the grout was poring out of the joints. I am pissed too, cause I knew that would happen!!! Waste of my Mother fucking time lol!

So I just got back from the beach, I went for an inspiration stroll to Hampton beach. Perfect vibe for the new album (being a concept album about the end of the world and all) Anyways, the grey skies and ominous violent waves really helped. So I guess I am happy I got sent home!

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

"Ominous Violent Waves" would be an awesome song title

Hahahaha!!

Wait...isn't that a good thing being a musician, though? You know...like 'bringing the house down' type of stuff?

 

[DreamingInExile]

Hahahaha!!

Wait...isn't that a good thing being a musician, though? You know...like 'bringing the house down' type of stuff?

yes, but since he's making the buildings that we shake off their foundations and the houses that we're bringing down, it's going to eventually bite him in the ass because nothing he built will be left standing...

 

[strigoi9]

That's a scary thought, DreamingInExile. I guess I will make sure I see SoB at an out-of-doors venue -- just in case.

Hey Dan! I challenge you to a bricklaying contest. I laid a windowsill, so I guess you could say I'm 'experienced'. Of course I broke two nails, grumbled about standing in the mud, and could barely lift a brick let alone tap it in the right place to 'cut' it. But hey...I did it. *chest puffed up all proud-like* Hahaha I had to run and wash my hands because the lime (?) in the mortar was burning my hands. Yeah, I'm a wimp. But I'm allowed to be - I'm a girl. Oh yeah...the mason was right there behind me. He "fixed" everything I did. But...that building is still standing.

 

[dan of bereavement]

Owwwww, that hurt!!! LOL

Ok you are on! lol!

Ohh and Mark being the pale scrawny computer geek that he is, he Couldn't lay a brick in a wheelbarrow, Lift a block over his knees and he surely wouldn't know what makes a building structually solid if it fell on him. Diregarding what he said, I am actually a damn fine bricklayer, I have been a mason for about 15 years or so. Today we laid 60+ pound 12" block all day, I am freaking beat now lol. We finished after 6 long weeks of that shit, I finally start on brick tomorrow! Yayyeeee!!!

 

[strigoi9]

Wow, fifteen years at it? Are you a master mason? I used to be a secretary for a construction company, and when I went to a jobsite, I always found the masons quite fascinating to watch.
Pouring concrete foundations was pretty cool to observe, too.

 

[dan of bereavement]

Not only a but the master mason lol. Yeah, been some time in, I'll say.
It is fun to watch though. Funny, I like how you actually knew the difference between a bricklayer and a form worker/floor finisher. Most people, when I say mason, think I do concrete, But I don't do much of that (Though I can) stuff.
