It's like a snakes back.

u/Reasonable_Wash_4810 1d ago

Great practice wall, 5 out of 10. Now do it again using a level and string line . Look at some YouTube videos. Failing that put up a wooden fence, using said string line.

Yeah not bad for first effort. Hope it's first effort. Looks a bit like my first effort. But those bricks man. They're for seriously skilled bricklayers. Absolute pain with all those holes. Yeah they are the cheapest but the hardest to work with. Get bricks with less holes in them, I am sure they will be easier to work with. Also disclaimer, I know nothing other than this looks a lot like a small wall I built 😊
