I also learnt the hard way to put your other hand on top while doing the top two courses, otherwise they can pop off when you press in at the front.
Paddle Mixer Bricklaying Mortar

Any advice for laying bricks tomorrow in the "heat" not super hot but hot enough 24 degrees Celsius? I will be mixing small batches, go brick by brick. Will dampen the brick before using.
Bricks will be stored in the shade.
Should I cover up the work I have already done before starting to keep it cool? Should I put up a garden umbrella to create a shade?
Not sure whether I am overthinking it just want to be safer than sorry and not have to redo/deal with a crumbling wall!
