    I love how like wasted effort or product there is when you see a professional work. If that was me the bricks would be all over the place and there'd more mix on the floor than between the bricks. Whenever I see work done with care like this, I think the person had a good teacher and also enjoyed their apprenticeship.

Have needed my hip done for almost 10 years, getting my other one in 6 months. Jobs like this were a bitch and I feel for you.

This past season its the first season I have not worked as a Union Bricklayer or my own Masonry company in over 40 years and the last 10 in pain. The funny thing is I miss it. The one hip is almost healed. Good luck Steve, just feel into your channel and going to go back and catch up some of your old videos.

I broke it at 2.30 in the afternoon and not knowing what I'd done carried on till 7 at night then had an hours drive home from Southport to wigan and when I turned the van engine off the adrenaline which had kept me going stopped and boy was I in pain.

    You seem too young for a new hip, I can see you struggling in pain the last dozen or so videos. I guess a hip can be replaced. Not so much my back. But at 68 years old and 48 years in construction I am not in as much pain as I expected two decades ago or as much pain as you seem to be. What is your expected recovery time before you get back to work? Did you schedule it around what would be vacation time?
