Had a big mortar mix fail on a Denver job last month

I was laying brick for a garden wall and the batch of mortar was way too wet. It started sagging and sliding out of the joints after about 20 minutes. I had to stop, scrape it all off, and remix the whole thing with more sand and cement. It set me back almost two hours on the schedule. I think the helper added an extra gallon of water by mistake. What's your go-to fix when a mix is wrong on site?

Been there, it's the worst.

My buddy once got stuck for hours, Linda114, and it was a total nightmare.

Yeah, I used to think it wasn't that bad.
