I arrived at the course a few weeks later than everyone else, but my brickwork skills, I think, are coming on well. Also my progression of understanding how to be a bricklayer are coming on strong as well.

When I start a job, I make sure I have all the tools and PPE I need ready. Also I have to load out the bricks and mortar and make sure I have enough space to work in and it's not too tight or cramped.

When I get started I lay out my bricks beforehand, each with a 10mm gap inbetween each brick, so I know exactly what I am doing before I start laying. When I lay my first brick, I make sure it is level and plumb, otherwise the rest of my work would be out and I would have to start over again.

When I have finished laying my bricks and my wall is built, I would have to point-up and clean my wall. Once I have done that I would clean my area and my tools and then pack my tools away
