Masonry made by one person with a capacity of 200 units. bricks for 10 hour work shift.

Despite the fact that the brick is put slowly, so more and the solution is mixed only two or three buckets at a time.

Why only two or three buckets?

Firstly, the brand of white cement M-600, setting time - just over an hour.

Secondly, for a uniform natural displacement of a brick solution requires a certain elasticity, which solution loses already in an hour, especially in summer.
