Colonial Brickmaker

Today was a pretty good day I molded the clay and made an oven to make the bricks.But I dropped a brick on my foot and had to work with a broken foot for the rest of the day.Tomorrow I have to make the clay by mixing clay sand hay or animal hair and water.Also I have to keep molding and cook the bricks.Plus we had to work or we will not be able to eat.Oh and I know it takes weeks to make bricks we already had bricks being cooked in an oven its just that we needed more to make bricks a little bit faster.We also have a bricklayer he puts bricks we make in layers.To be a bricklayer you need to have construction skills.Also for molding we use wooden molds to mold bricks.Women children and slaves mixed the clay by walking around in it.Also the clay is in a pit.The good thing about bricks is they do not rot or burn.
