a day in the life...

"I start early on site and help set up for the day. We go through the plans and what section we are working on. I spend the morning mixing mortar and laying bricks, making sure everything is level and straight. After breaks we continue building and checking our work. I enjoy seeing the structure take shape and knowing I helped build it."
