Common Mistakes to avoid In Brick Masonry
Brick masonry is one of the oldest and most reliable construction techniques used to build durable structures. It involves laying bricks in a specific pattern using mortar, which is a mixture of cement, sand, and water. While brick masonry is a straightforward process, it is important to avoid certain common mistakes that can compromise the quality and durability of the structure. In this blog, we will discuss some of these mistakes and how to avoid them.
Tumblr media
Before we delve into common mistakes, it is important to understand cement's role in brick masonry. Cement is a crucial component of the mortar used to bind bricks together. The cement manufacturing process involves heating raw materials such as limestone, clay, and shale at high temperatures to produce a fine powder called cement. This powder is then mixed with sand and water to make mortar, which is used in brick masonry.
Cement products such as Wonder Cement are known for their strength and durability, making them an ideal choice for brick masonry.
Now, let's look at some common brick masonry mistakes:
Poor quality mortar: 
The quality of brick masonry mortar is crucial to the durability of the structure. Poor quality mortar can result in weak joints that can easily crack and crumble. To avoid this, always use high-quality cement products and mix the mortar according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Incorrect brick placement:
Bricks should be laid in a specific pattern to ensure structural integrity. Incorrect brick placement can result in weak points in the structure that can compromise its stability. Always follow the recommended bricklaying pattern and ensure that each brick is properly aligned and level.
Improper joint thickness:
The thickness of the brick joints should be consistent throughout the structure. Inconsistent joint thickness can weaken the structure and crack it. Always use a consistent amount of mortar when laying each brick to ensure even joint thickness.
Inadequate curing time:
Curing is the process of allowing mortar to dry and harden before applying any load to the structure. Inadequate curing time can result in weak joints that can easily crack and compromise the structure's stability. Always follow the recommended curing time for the mortar type used.
Poor drainage:
Brick masonry structures are susceptible to water damage if proper drainage is not provided. Water can seep into the structure through the joints and cause damage over time. Always ensure proper drainage to prevent water damage.
In conclusion, brick masonry is a reliable construction technique that lasts for decades if done correctly. By avoiding these common mistakes and using high-quality cement products such as Wonder Cement, you can ensure that your brick masonry structure is strong, durable, and able to withstand time.

I've been thinking about this thing we do in the aftg fandom, what we call the "twinkification" but I'd much like to call it "softication?", "softyfication?" of Neil and sometimes Andrew. I just want to clarify, personally, when I reblog posts about these characters being "misinterpreted" and/or being made soft in fannon spaces, I don't actually mind these interpretations.
Aftg cannon characterisation goes hard, and yeah Andrew and Neil are not unproblematic uwu little boys. As many like to clarify, both of them have killed at least one person - amongst their many character traits, we also get homicide. But here's the thing, although I shy away from some of their interpretations in fannon spaces, I think there should always be room for soft Neil and soft Andrew and soft any fox for that matter, particularly the monsters. It doesn't much have to do with the characters themselves but more with the reader, it's not a betrayal towards the cannon text if you headcannon that they say I love you, or that they cuddle or whatever. Personally, I think it's more that you wish for them to be able to have that connection, that freedom, because at the end of the day if they can have that after everything that's happened to them, then so can you. The reverse is true as well, if you can have that, maybe so can these characters.
Reading aftg for the first time really helped me come to terms with my own issues surrounding past experiences, particularly sexual trauma, I don't know if that's true for the majority of the fandom but I can safely say that some fox and their particular trauma usually hits home for people. It's okay to read, write, and create art where these characters are "soft". It's okay to want to see this type of content mixed in with "he wouldn't fucking say that", because yeah he probably wouldn't, but we're all on different healing journeys and sometimes we like to play with blorbos online like dolls after a particularly illuminating therapy session.

Texas Republicans banned local governments from mandating water breaks for workers, Florida Republicans are trying to ban local governments from mandating heat protection for workers, and Kentucky Republicans are trying to repeal the state's mandated lunch and rest breaks for workers, and somehow Republicans are still getting away with presenting themselves as "the party of the working class"

when the south korean president at the time tried to impose martial law on the country, there were SO MANY PEOPLE asking what martial law is in the comment sections of tiktok of all places. like there's a difference between not knowing what it is and looking it up for yourself vs. demanding that others spoonfeed you information. what happened to finding out information yourself. and i want to have grace but also aren't a lot of you adults??? how do you not know what martial law is have you never paid attention in any history class??? then there's people asking what impeachment is. are we cooked. is it naive of me to be expecting people to keep up with the state of the world??? i know it can be hard to swallow and a strain on the psyche and it's not activism to force yourself to witness every horror but also??? living under a rock isn't butterflies and sunshine anymore??? social issues is what this class is teaching us about sure but like??? how do you not know these things have happened in the past year, much less month???
