    There is adhesive on the bricks. 45 minutes drying time.

    What's taken them so long? Block laying is a perfect application of robot labor.

    That's pretty amazing!
    I got to looking and found another. It's not quite as sophisticated but it's still pretty impressive.

    That looks like hadite block to me, not brick, but what do I know, I am a biologist. I assume after the adhesive dries they fill the seams with insulation?

    I worked as a brick mason's helper for two long summers, when I got out of high school. Total of 8 months, building apartment complexes in Atlanta.
    Good God is that brutal work! Dangerous too. This was so long ago, no Spanish spoken on the job site. The first summer was with North Carolina rednecks, the second summer was an all-black crew from Atlanta. Five black masons, one black guy mixing mortar, and a black boss, he drove a Cadillac.

    Hadrian can have it for all I care that is a brutal job.

    Agree, laying brick/block will wear away your finger prints too which will be a pain in the ass later in life :shock: , I found that out after a winter job in the early 70's :roll:

    It looks like the adhesive is applied to the top of the bricks before the next higher layer is set. It doesn't show how the adhesive is applied between between the bricks.

    and I wonder how long the adhesive lasts?? One of my first jobs was hod carrying the mortar to the bricklayers. If that won't make you wish you were a brick layer nothing will.

    Yep, I would like to see that thing lay a foundation that is on the side of a hill, say 45* angle. 3 block high on upper side and maybe 24 or 30 on the lowers side. Steps ever 4 feet. Now I am fascinated by a surveyor when he comes out and shoots all the corners, angles and piers on the side of a hill.
    They set in one place outside the foundation and the machine allows for slope and distance and to beat it all the info is entered in to the machine at the office.

    Interesting I've read that you can use surface bonding cement on both sides of a block wall and it is supposed to be as strong if not stronger than mortar jointed version

    Everyday were losing so many jobs to new technology and our government wants open borders so they can put them on welfare and the middle class to fade away
