Hit 10,000 bricks laid on a single wall today in Tulsa

I've been working a big commercial job outside Tulsa, and the main facade is a beast. Counted up my rows this morning and realized I'm at exactly 10,000 bricks on that one wall. Has anyone else hit a round number like that and felt weirdly proud of it?

Hey that's awesome! I read somewhere that laying 10,000 bricks is like stacking a pile of trucks, no joke that's serious work.

A buddy of mine tried laying bricks for a patio one summer. He figured it couldn't be that hard after watching a few videos. By lunchtime his back was screaming and his knuckles were bleeding through the gloves. He quit after about 300 bricks and just poured a concrete slab instead. That pile of trucks comparison makes a lot more sense to me now. 10,000 bricks is a whole different level of crazy.
