If say building a brick wall, i would dry lay, if the end, needs to be say a quater of half of a brick longer, whats the best thing to do?
I dont get how to cope with it spaced out, needing less then one full brick, I know on the second row, i would cut to stagger, but not sure how to start
cheers

I have to say, if your having trouble setting out the first course, do you really feel competent enought to tackle this job?
Save yourself some hassle later on and get a proper brickie in.
