an appreciation for the work of a true craftsman, some might ask, “What’s the
big attraction of watching a guy build a brick wall?” The simple answer to
the question would be, “Have you ever seen the SPEC MIX Bricklayer 500
competition where a mason will lay as many as 800 bricks, accurately, in just
60 minutes!” And, with over $100,000 on the line including a new FORD F-250
4x4 truck, any mason would likely throw their hat (or trowel) in the ring to
win the event. In Las Vegas on February 4th over 3,000 spectators will attend
the 7th annual competition during the 2009 World of Concrete/World of Masonry
