    How do you judge the gaps between the bricks, and match the spacing of the blocks to the brick? Is there a formula for working out how long a wall should be to use whole blocks and bricks. Love the skill shown, the attention to detail. I would live to build my own extension, can do everything else but not done foundations or wall building. Will do though😎😎

    Looking for some opinions. Just bought a house, garden wall is 4 inch block work, 8 ft high, has no footings. The block work actually starts on mud at ground level. It's out of plumb by 40mm and clearly leaning. I'm thinking of underpinning it and trying to plumb it up using a few posts pulling the wall plumb with ratchets while underpinning when formwork is poured. Anyone else had any experience with this?
