Spent a whole afternoon just getting the first course right on a curved garden wall

The homeowner wanted a gentle curve, but getting each brick to sit level and follow the line took forever... I think it was about five hours just for that base. How do you guys handle curved layouts without losing your mind?

Five hours? That's just proper craftsmanship.

Last year I spent a full weekend just repainting my kitchen cabinets. Two coats of primer and three coats of paint, sanding between each one. It felt like forever while I was doing it, but now I open that cupboard and just smile. The finish is still perfect, no chips or streaks. That extra time really does make the difference in how long something lasts.
