Fingers to the BONE, man!

I had all day off yesterday to celebrate the Fourth of July - yay!
Personally, I don't know any better way to celebrate independence than to be tied to a house finishing up projects ;)
I'd never laid brick before, but I've seen it done and talked with my concrete guy about proper technique..so I figured I'd give it a shot. Mix up some mortar, spread a layer of it across the concrete for a "bed", then butter the edges of the bricks and tamp them into place making sure it's level, flush with the other bricks, and spaced correctly.
I'll go back and brush the white off and seal everything once it's done..but for now I'll just be sun burnt :)

Coming together!
