Some what of a Mason
This weekend I helped my father-in-law put up his basement walls. He is building a 24' x 30' cottage in Mountain. The basement is not poured concrete but block walls . I do like the look of a block wall, then again I might be partial because of growing up with a mason as a father.
While going to college I worked with my dad and was a tender, then we built our house 6 years ago and we put in block walls also. There has been a few other jobs that I have helped as a tender. My brother's and dad's houses the last two years. This weekend was my first actual attempt at laying block, and all the hours of watching and striking joints paid off. One of the other masons said it looked like I had done it before.
It does pay to watch and learn from others.
