Looks like you will make a fine mason.

Just remember...

1. Your thumb should go between the first and second knuckle of the other person's hand when shaking hands.

2. Don't grip the other person's hand too tightly (like a man would) during the handshake. Barely grasp the other's hand like a sissy, in order to give those who aren't true Masons a queasy feeling of yuckification.

Other than that, enjoy your masonry.

I saw that title and was about to grab my keys and a hammer!  Glad you're going to be the right kind of mason!  LOL

[heartstrings]

At least you didn't reach for your square and compass.... :)

@heartstrings - I can just hear a certain party saying, "I told you so!" Bahahahaha!

[heartstrings]

Well, if this stuff doesn't firm up substantially, I might just withdraw my membership...I'm not too fanatical about it anyway.

Anyone know much about mortar?

Yes it is a thing I grind my herbs in.

Ha! I use mine for launching explosive projectiles....versatile things they are!

Ask your wife, pretend the concrete is flour.

Honey, I was hungry and tried to bake some biscuits; what did I do wrong?

 

No, the mortar hardened up just fine over the weekend, thank the Lord.. This is my first time laying block and I have about $7k in materials on this project, so I'm just a little nervous about everything turning out OK.
