If the brick isn't too large you can sometimes use a smaller amount of mortar.<br /><br />I hope that makes sense, I'm not a bricklayer, just a willing volunteer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8246842529969806828.post-51548943130204696382013-01-11T19:34:57.347+00:002013-01-11T19:34:57.347+00:00I was thinking exactly the same thing.
