Heard a guy at the supply house say he only lays firebrick on weekends now
He was arguing that you get a cleaner line when you're not rushed but I feel like breaking up the week just messes with your rhythm. What's your take on doing specialty brick work in chunks versus all at once?

My buddy tried that and spent three Saturdays fighting mortar that set too fast in the shade.

Ngl though @david_rivera4, shade sets slower if you mix it a bit wetter in the first place. I've done patches under a tree in July and it gave me plenty of time to work if I kept the batch small and the water ratio spot on. Just saying, the technique can make the difference more than the sun or shade thing.
