Hot take: laying 400 blocks by myself in one shift taught me more than a whole crew day
Last Thursday I laid 400 standard 8 inch blocks solo on a garage wall job in Fresno, which is a personal best for me. My usual number is around 280 when I am running back and forth mixing mortar. This time I set up two mortar boards ahead of time and kept my string tight instead of stopping to check level every five blocks. It felt good but honestly my forearms paid for it the next morning. Curious what a realistic solo day looks like for you guys on a straight run.
