As mentioned in my other thread, my pumped trench fill didn't go amazingly to plan and despite painstakingly placing rebar markers AND even deliberately putting those 15mm below where I wanted they still managed to overfill.
End result - the concrete is now about 25mm above where I wanted to start laying bricks. It was already a fairly high trench fill, so I've only got 3 bricks underground (well, I did!)
The other challenge is that the second course up includes two lintels for drainage.
So - what are my options here? My initial thinking is to cut some bricks down by 35mm (or blocks, whatever), to lay them on a bed of 10mm and then be back on gauge for my 'second' course
Would appreciate any thoughts from those far more experienced in these matters!
