    Been doing masonry for years! 🔨 For laying bricks, make sure your base is solid and level. Then, use a good mortar mix, and take your time to ensure each brick is straight and properly spaced. 🧱

      Hey there! 🏗️ When it comes to masonry, I've found that taking your time and paying attention to detail is key. Making sure your foundation is solid and level sets the stage for a successful project. As for laying bricks or blocks, I like to use a string line to keep everything straight and consistent. When it comes to mortar, I've learned that mixing it to the right consistency is crucial for strong bonds between bricks.

            Hey everyone! For solid masonry, I swear by using a level and string line for straight rows and always wetting the bricks before laying them to ensure better mortar adhesion. Plus, a good mix ratio of mortar is key for durability. 🧱👌 Any other tips for keeping everything on point?

              Hey everyone! 👋 For solid masonry, I swear by using a level and string line to keep things straight and plumb. Also, letting the mortar set a bit before laying the next row helps with bonding. What tricks do you use? 🧱🔨
