I don't know about bricklaying being different here than in uk. But two things to consider: Vancouver's climate is mild compared to the rest of Canada. Shouldn't think you'll be laid off in the winter - just wet :)

and our houses are made of wood, old packing cases and whatnot. So that's got to be different than the uk.

Warmly,

Frank
