What about adding more cement if it's too wet? Bad idea?

Is that the consistency I should be looking first three were put on with mix that was a little dry if yours is anything to go by! Might take em of and do again!

what type paddle mixer would you recommend ,wattage etc?

Is that cement mixer electric or battery more info?

How much mortar mix would you recommend making up,I know I'm being a little ambitious doing this but I think I can pull it off! thanks for the advice!

where is its it a pub or restaurant,or a house?

It looks beautiful!

While I'm here, I don't have room for notched story poles or anything fancy to help me get each course same height as last! What could I use to help me when brick work has not set hard! Anything I've seen on youtube has those poles or pins, or corner thingys but use set mortar to proceed with...

Are we cutting 2 bricks per course or one?

That's interesting! where would the cut brick be in those arrangements,Is there a way of only cutting one brick per course rather than 2?

Broken bond?

If I lay it at the end won't that interfere with the longer length course?

Sorry, not possible, what would that achieve?

there's one on the previous page, scroll down and you'll see it!

Well it seems contradictory anyway!

If that's the case why have the rule of 10mm between bricks?

I'm asking asm concerned about the bricks going over it won't have it's joint in centre of this shorter length brick!

OK! but, how big can that mortar joint be? Also the shorter side has a gap as well, it's almost the length of a brick, would I be better having 2 smaller gaps in those courses?

which brings me to the original question, how wide can the joint be?
