I finally had a day where everything just lined up perfect
Last Tuesday was one of those rare days where nothing went wrong on a job. I was working on a small garden wall over in Oak Park, just a simple 20 foot run with a curve at the end. The mortar mix came out exactly right on the first try, not too wet not too dry, and every brick I picked up fit like it was made for that spot. No chipping, no having to grind anything down, and the string line stayed tight the whole time. I even finished an hour early, which never happens when I'm doing curves. Got paid cash by the homeowner, a solid $350 for basically 5 hours of work. Has anyone else had a day where it felt like you couldnt mess up no matter what?
