    Start with the Basics before jumping into complex projects, try laying a simple brick wall or a small garden border. It’s a great way to get a feel for the mortar and alignment.​

      Mastering masonry starts with using the right mortar mix and learning to lay bricks or blocks level by constantly checking with a spirit level. Properly buttering the bricks and using a trowel to create even joints are key techniques for strong, neat masonry work!

        Brick and block work is all about precision! Get that mortar mix just right, and don't forget to stagger those joints for strength. It's like building a puzzle but with more muscles! πŸ’ͺπŸ˜„
