Just realized I've laid over 200,000 bricks in my career and that number kind of blew my mind.
It hit me yesterday after finishing a chimney rebuild in Springfield and I started thinking about all the patios, walls, and foundations over the last 15 years.

Ever have one of those moments where you realize how much physical work that number actually represents?

My buddy who does drywall had a similar moment last year... he figured out he'd hung enough board to cover like three football fields. He just sat in his truck after work staring at his hands, said it felt like his whole career just hit him at once. Makes you think about all the quiet hours that go into building the world around us. Those numbers really do tell a story you don't see at first glance.
