Simple Bricklaying Trick: Get Perfectly Straight Walls Every Time

Construction Tip of the Day: Mastering the Art of String Line in Bricklaying Grodno, Belarus – May 31, 2025 – A Belarusian construction worker, MYZROBIM, recently shared a valuable tip on proper bricklaying techniques via a short video. The video addresses a common question regarding the starting point of the string line used to ensure straight and even brick walls. MYZROBIM explains that starting the line in the middle of a block can lead to noticeable inconsistencies. "When you start the string line in the middle," MYZROBIM explains in the video, "the distance to the edge of the block changes, creating unevenness." He then demonstrates the preferred method of starting the line at either the top or bottom of the block, resulting in a much more consistent wall. This simple yet effective technique is a valuable lesson for both novice and experienced bricklayers alike, highlighting the importance of attention to detail in construction.
