With help from both Kathy and Matthew, I finished cutting all the bricks and then I layed them. Although it was about 100 degrees outside, Matthew rigged a mini-tent over my head which greatly helped keep the sun off me and Kathy. Before this Matthew mixed the mortar in the old wheelbarrow. Kathy helped me cut the bricks at the start of the day and then she served me mortar as I placed the bricks. I don’t know how I did it, but at least it’s done for now and it’s the best I could do. Next I have to clean off the residual mortar with muriatic acid and to remove the wood separator strip and fill it with an elastic joint compound.
