Bricklaying techniques

Bricklaying techniques involve the careful placement of bricks to create structures like walls or pathways. Key techniques include "running bond," where bricks are staggered for strength, and "header bond," which uses the end of bricks to interlock. Mortar, a mixture of cement, sand, and water, is applied to hold the bricks together and ensure stability. Bricklayers use tools such as trowels and levels to maintain alignment and even spacing. Proper curing and drying are crucial for durability, and skilled bricklayers also consider aesthetics, allowing for intricate patterns and designs in their work.
