Hi All,
Thanks for the comments, I like the video idea, I will have to find some willing volunteers! JerryD thanks for the comments, I have used this method, and it really is very simple to do, Ok so you dont get a perfect wall, but the finished results really are 'acceptable' for a DIY wall...
Hi P.J.,
Thanks for the comments, I thought I was the only one who used the 'Finger-pointing' method when making a brick wall! you can contact me on [email protected], and I will see what I can do before next spring!

Hi All,
I had a problem, I built a small retaining wall in my garden, and I think I did a pretty good job, however it took me absolutely ages getting the spacing and levels right for each brick, which got me to thinking wouldn't it be a lot easier if there were some form of easy to use spacer...
