Laid my first 500 bricks in a day on the new school job in Springfield
Been laying for six years but always stuck around 350, maybe 400 on a real good day. My foreman just counted my section and told me the number... honestly thought he was joking. What's a personal best that caught you off guard?
Check your trowel before tomorrow. A new or resharpened one can throw off your feel and make you work faster without realizing it. Also make sure your mortar mix isn't getting too wet as the day goes on - that'll slow you down way more than you think.
