I've done that man, many, many times. My dad used to be a brick mason and I worked for him for a while.

When you have two men who can do it and you're not going up more than about 12 feet, it's faster and easier than buckets.

That building will probably be around for a long time. The men in my mother's family were stone masons too. Part of growing up for me was being taken to places in Nashville the great-grandfathers had built. These were big stones, marble I imagine but there are also places in Nashville they did that were regular stone chimneys and foundation work in commercial property and such.
I am currently dealing with some stacks of old bricks recovered from my property. We are in the process of a demolition project and I look for the old hand made bricks that have the maker's names on them. Some are from as far away as Pennsylvania.

Back in my younger days when I worked construction, I worked with some block masons. The first day I showed up they took bets on how long I would last. I was there until the day the job was complete. I got to where I could throw mud up on the mud board on the scaffold, but not the whole shovel. And when I finished the job I had some muscles. Couldn't do it now, too old and broke down.
