Bricklayer needed

[peterjohnson64]

Here is a pic of the footings and the wall that is next to it for my Water Dragon aviary. I merely want to do the same thing for this bank of 4 aviaries. And I just worked out the correct quantity and it is more like 500 bricks than 1,000 so it is way less than a days work for $600

not that ive laid bricks before but im sure between you, me, gillsy and pugs we'd manage!

the reality is most good brickies would average 500-600 per day, then you have to factor in labourers as well. $1.20-$150 a brick includes handling of the bricks and loading scaffold as well. Still make a very respectable wage but work dam hard for it too.

Exactly, so $600 for a days work tax free is a good offer.

With, I assume, food and refreshment thrown in I reckon it's a good deal

 

[peterjohnson64]

and for those of you that have experienced "refreshments" at my place .......................................

 

[gillsy]

You may need to book the day and night....

[gillsy]

I'll supervise and provide refreshments,

Patty and I can cook up a storm hehe

Sold - and my faith in humanity is restored - Bricklayers can actually use computers and we even have one as a local member on APS. Seems there will be a little shing ding happening at my place soon. To all those that volunteered - prepare to Party!!!!

Glad its all sorted Peter. I was going to do a bricklaying DIY course, shame I didn't, would have loved to do this project.

If you need anyone else to give orders, I'm your man.

 

[pugsly]

What date pete, you know Ill be there.

oh, and as much as brickies get a good rate, lawyers (good ones anyway) get a lot more than 400k for a year. Thats probably an average pay for a partner these days. (City firm anyway)

I can see it now

Beto hold off on the refreshments till after the wall is done
