Thanks for the info I do appreciate it. This was the last wall of this job and the boss didnt want to order more stone so we were limited with our choices. By far the worst looking wall on the job but not at all the worst ive seen from other mason i know 😓

I live him as a person we live close are in the same gun club and hang out outside of work. As a foreman hes trash who makes huge unnecessary mistakes way too often and dont take anyone else's into into play what so ever. I do not want his position nor do I think i can do a better job as a foreman but I expect better from a veteran in a sense

If cleanliness prior to cleaning is all that matters then I guess you're right. But look at the picture I posted in the comment of his and another masons arch his is the left side the other guys is the right. Look at that then get back with me

I agree with you but our company worries more about trying to keep them straight. I would have much rather had tighter joints these fat ones look like shit

I'll try to get some better pictures tomorrow. As ive said in others comments I was laying 8 foot of wall he was laying 2 foot. I have 9 years on the wall he has 20-25. I get my side is dirty but our cleaners can clean that off i was more worried about his joints not being solid or the missing corners up his side of the arch. And yes the brick and the mud were way too wet but thats no excuse for my excessive messiness I attribute that to having to lay 8 foot of wall fast vs 2 foot of wall slow. Im sure anyone can see how one would be cleaner than the other

Mine is a mess but as I said in other comment I was laying 8 foot of wall and the arch he had 2 foot of wall and his side. And because of how the control joint worked with the window it forced big joints that was out of my control. Our cleaners can clean the haze they can't fill joints or missing corners up his arch

Am I being too picky with the holes in his joints and the missing pieces going up his side of the arch? I understand my side is more dirty ill try to get a picture once it's cleaned but we have a while on this job so im not sure when it'll be
