Bricklayers use WAY TOO MUCH FUCKING MORTAR.
You do NOT need THAT much mortar!!
>>
>>2828235
ok
>>
>>2828239
A house made of mortar is as frail as a house made of wet sand. Use the mortar only sparingly as a GLUE to hold together the BRICKS that actually provide structural integrity, not as a bulking agent for the wall. This is what separates the white man’s architecture from that of the Guatemalan illegal aliens you hired in a Home Depot parking lot.

ok

>>2828235
thats the worst wall I've ever seen
>>
>>2828235
mortar is cheaper than brick, at least back in the day, not sure about todays prices
>>
thanks most people already figured it out
>>
>>2828235
Is your picture what you think the average bricklayer's work looks like? The only people doing shit like that are in india or some other destitute shithole
>>
>>2828235
I've noticed this a lot more recently, especially obvious when the brickwork is near an older building. Not as bad as your pick, but still a layer thts way too thick.

>what if a orangatang builded a wall
Is this an AI picture? What the fuck
>>
>>2828235
that's a wall in some street-shitter country.
>>
>>2828248
>use the mortar as GLUE
Wrong. Mortar isn’t adhesive you idiot
>>
>>2828896
then why it makes an adhesive bond between bricks. please use your brains. god gave them to you, your mom tried to squeeze them with her canal.
>>
My 113 year old walls say this is the correct amount of mortar.

>>2828896
Then why can’t I take the bricks off each other. We used to do wall tiles with mortar long before tile adhesive became a thing
>>
>>2828981
>>2828967
LOL GLUE!!!!!

>>2828235
theres lots of styles and reasons for them
chill the fuck out
