Hit 10,000 bricks laid in a single project and it felt like a waste

Everyone talks about high brick counts like they're a badge of honor, but on this big apartment job in Tempe, hitting that mark just meant we were moving too fast for quality. I found three courses with inconsistent joint depth because we were pushing for speed over a clean line. Does anyone else think we focus too much on the number and not enough on the craft?

Been there, man. The count is for the office, but the line is what you see every day. Slow the crew down for a clean line, even if it costs you an hour.

Yeah, the clean line thing is real. My buddy's crew rushed a job last week and the client made them redo the whole section.
