Well,I wasn't trying to be rude!I think I'll be ok with just the bricks ,It can be done that way! It's not the Empire State Building,it's a greenhouse,if it goes wrong I'll take the rap for it,but,thanks anyway!

Well, I'll take my chances at this stage,and your not my mate!

Just curious, as I said before, there is a foundation under it! which is suitable for this project! And, you're not under any obligation to answer it, either!

What's the minimum foundation one can put on this, just curious?

Yes,I'm using the engineering bricks as My DPC 2 courses! It's my first time doing this, and was told Engineering brick can be used for this hoping the mortar is hard enough,I certainly won't be tearing it down,I will have to take a gamble at this stage!

Going to leave this here a while and tell me what you think,I hope I did reasonably ok! It's 15" High!

After laying the engineering bricks 2 courses,I'm now using a faux reclaimed brick but,I'm struggling with them very porous ,and mix goes off very quickly, and suggestions?

If it dries too fast will it be a different color the next day? Or will it be difficult to tell visually compaired to a slow drying brick?

Ok! This has been bugging me all week! How do you tell if the mortar has dried too fast, I mean, it's still going to go hard, so how does one tell?

So,how can you tell if it's strong enough?

How 'dry' can they be before rain affects the fresh mortar?

Here's a question for you,is there a safe time to lay bricks before expected rain comes, for instance, the day before 2 days before, or should one wait for reasonably dry weather?

I'm taking the scenic route doing one brick at a time, and getting it level lengthways and sideways!

So far so good, have one long side completed and half a short side! All levels far!
