  IMG_7928.JPG - The guy below is chipping out mortar from between the bricks that was a result of the form. This is a classic Mexican difference, we would either lay small half round strips as the bricks were laid, or would use a pneumatic chipper to "strike" the mortar lines, this fellow worked all day yesterday and started again today manually chipping out the joints to dress them. The joints above will be covered with mortar so striking is unnecessary.
