Description from the creator

In this DIY video series, we'll reveal everything you need to know to lay bricks as we create a fantastic barbecue. You can use these skills to make walls, fences, or other landscaping projects.

A good mortar mix will make brick laying so much easier. The mortar provides a bed for the bricks to sit into, taking up any discrepencies in the size of the bricks and keeping the top nice and level.

A good mortar mix is four parts sand, one part sand and half part lime. The lime increases the workability of the mix, making the job much easier. You can also buy premix bags with lime already added.
