      Brick laying is a construction consisting of bricks laid in a certain order on the mortar. The rows of bricks, called courses, lie on top of each other to create a structure such as a brick wall. To maintain the level and verticality of the laid bricks use a level, a plumb and a cord. The thickness of horizontal joints in the masonry should be 10—12 mm, the thickness of vertical joints 8—10 mm.
