Coveyn nThe BricklayernnThe sun rises at 6:30 a.m. on another summertimenSaturday, bricklayer Clarence Jeffers starts his workday.nToday he is assigned to a $3.2-million mansion innthe suburbs of Basking Ridge, New Jersey. The owners, anmiddle-aged wife and her practically non-participatorynolder husband, hired him to do the painstaking work of layingnone brick at a time for their castle-like home, whosenexterior is to be a combination of the off-white and tan-colorednbricks which were imported straight from Italy.nnWith his pile of Italian bricks and big bucket of gray mortar,nClarence begins his bricklaying routine of stirring thenmortar a couple of times swiftly before placing each brick.nThe mortar must be the right consistency and also thenright temperature; if the sun is too strong, the mortar mayndry out. So he must work quickly. He can lay and layernabout 20 bricks a minute, a pretty good time, but when henhas a job like this—a total of 1,000 bricks for the frontnexterior alone—his work is cut out for him, especiallynsince the temperature is already 87 degrees. Clarencenprefers to work in autumn, when the weather is coolernand not as rainy or snowy. But these wealthy customersntend to do their renovations in the summer, it seems, andnClarence cannot say no if he wants to retire anytime soon.nSo, with his big bucket of mortar and shiny spade, henmakes his way carefully up the scaffolding he mustnascend, eventually all the way to the top floor, three storiesnabove ground.nnBy noon, the sun is out in full force, and the humiditynmakes it feel even hotter. Sweat drips from Clarence’sngraying hair, as he wipes his tan forehead with the rednbandana he keeps stuffed in the back pocket of his bluenjean overalls. In another hour he probably will have tontake his tank top off, he thinks. Otherwise, he’ll be soakednwith perspiration. He grows uncomfortable at thenprospect of the demanding wife, who peers at him lasciviously,nespecially when he has taken off his shirt.nUnfortunately, as he must start bricklaying from the bottomnup, he often winds up on the top floor—where hernbedroom is—when the temperature has reached its alltimendaily high and he needs to disrobe even a little just toncontinue his efficient pace. The lady of the house seemsnto always purposely plant herself on her cavernous kingsizednbed, with its shiny lavender sheets. She is deckednout in lacy black lingerie and licks her lips. Clarence hasnasked his boss to send him elsewhere, but to no avail. Hisnboss just snickers whenever he relays his discomfort. “Younshould be so lucky,” he sneers at Clarence. “Plus, Mrs.nAnderson is one of our most reliable customers, and shenrequested you.”nnClarence feels caught between a brick and a hard place.nEven mentioning his sweet wife Melissa and their fourngrown children does not seem to deter the mistress of thisnmonstrosity at 15 McDougal Lane. He thinks that it mightnbe time to call Dave, his neighbor in Bay Ridge, who ownsna corporate construction company, to see if he can get outnof this residential line of work. The money may be good,nbut the customers can make his days too trying. He’s afraidnthat if he turns Mrs. Anderson down again, she will havenhim fired anyway. In the meantime, he keeps ploddingnaway—ivory brick, mortar, tan brick, mortar, ivory bricknagain, and on and on. This unquestionable dedication andnexpertise is precisely why Clarence and all the other bricklayersnare worthwhile persons in more ways than a million!nIn this must read book; the unsung heroes of society can find solace in affirming that...
